Coronavirus: UK councils fear bankruptcy amid Covid-19 costs
Leeds City Council said the government needed to step in and help stabilise local authority finances
Some of the largest UK councils say they may have to declare themselves effectively bankrupt unless the government agrees to further support.
Nearly 150 authorities have forecast a combined budget shortfall of at least £3.2bn, the BBC found.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has said the government "has got to recognise" the financial situation facing councils.
The government said it was working on a "comprehensive plan" for councils.
A BBC investigation found across the UK:
At least five English councils warned they may meet the criteria to issue a section 114 notice at some point without more government support, declaring themselves effectively bankrupt
They include some of the UK's largest unitary authorities – Leeds, Wiltshire, Trafford, Tameside and Barnet
Liverpool's Mayor Joe Anderson previously warned the city may decide to issue a section 114 notice but the authority said on Wednesday it was now planning to set a revised budget in September to address a £58.6m shortfall
Birmingham City Council – the largest authority in Europe – said "given the size" of its forecast shortfall of £212m across 2020-21 and 2021-22. after £70m government funding already received, a section 114 notice "would not rectify this situation"
Of 173 local authorities who responded to the BBC's questions, 148 predicted a budget shortfall
At least 20 local authorities plan to hold an emergency or in-year budget
At Highland Council in Scotland, the estimated shortfall is equivalent to £411 for every resident
Whitehall has already given £3.2bn funding to all English councils in two tranches to help cover coronavirus costs.
Speaking to the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Sir Keir said: "At the beginning of the pandemic, councils had to do lots of things to support their communities, whether that was provision of food, of services, care centres, bringing homeless people in, really important stuff.
"And they were told by [the government] 'we will stand by you – we'll support you – you get on and do what you need to do'. So they did."
He said lots of councils were now "facing bankruptcy, or cutting back services, which is the last thing anybody needs, and the government has got to recognise this".
Why are councils struggling financially?
Lost business rates, council tax holidays and emergency payments for families whose incomes have disappeared have all hit upper tier councils' income, at the same time as rising costs of adult care and providing protective equipment (PPE) for carers.
Some of those councils would also typically depend on tourism for large chunks of income, such as dividends from airports they own or parking fees from visitors.
Facilities like council-owned leisure centres, which would normally produce income for authorities, are also closed.
Plummeting passenger numbers at Luton Airport are contributing to a £49m shortfall at the authority which owns it, Luton Borough Council. A spokesman said it would have "no option but to agree to unprecedented cuts to key services" if more cash was not made available.
Manchester City Council is losing out on more than £130m income this year from sources such as the council's part-ownership of Manchester Airports Group (MAG).
Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council, said: "It is no exaggeration to say that we are on the edge of a financial precipice."
England's Minister for Local Government, Simon Clarke, said the £3.2bn funding already given to local authorities was "part of a wider package of support from across government for local communities and businesses – totalling over £27 billion – including grants, business rate relief and for local transport".
And Wiltshire Council's leader, Councillor Philip Whitehead, told Radio Five Live's Emma Barnett the authority was facing a "perfect storm".
He said: "We've had increased costs in adult social care, supplying PPE, making sure that workers cannot go from care home to care home.
"At the same time, we've lost car park income and leisure centre income which all helps to balance our budget."
However Councillor Whitehead said he was confident the government would come to the aid of councils.
'Shed-loads of pain'
With the highest proportion of furloughed staff in Scotland, losing tourism income put extra pressure on Highland Council, its finance chief said
About 230,000 people live in the Highlands but the area covers just under half the landmass of Scotland.
Its main sources of income – tourist car parks, docking fees and the sale of marine fuel at its harbours – have been reduced to "zero overnight" as a result of the pandemic, Highland Council said.
Head of finance Ed Foster said balancing its £96m deficit would not be possible "without shed-loads of pain."
"Because so much of our budget is tied up in staffing, in order to balance we would need to reduce headcount," he said.
The BBC asked councils if they thought they would meet the criteria for issuing a section 114 notice.
Barnet Council in London referred to a report from a committee meeting where it said the "anticipated costs of the disruption remain within the available resources of the council, however without additional levels of funding, the council will move into significant risk of being unable to remain in balance should the period of disruption sustain".
A spokesman later stressed it did not anticipate a need to issue a section 114 notice, adding: "We have financial reserves which are well in excess of the impact Covid-19 will have in the current year.
"This impact is being felt by all local authorities and we welcome the government support already received. We will remain in contact with the government about the importance of continued financial support for local authorities."
Alistair Jones, associate politics professor at the Local Governance Research Centre, De Montfort University in Leicester, said: "Local governments are being left to flounder.
"The list of near-bankrupt councils is going to grow unless more support is available."
He said councils "needed to be given more autonomy to raise their own revenue" or further funding would be needed to support them in the long term.
Alistair Jones said he was "unsurprised" councils were warning they could issue a section 114 notice
What is a section 114 notice?
Section 114 notices are issued in England when a council cannot achieve a balanced budget.
In February 2018, Northamptonshire County Council became the first local authority for almost 20 years to warn it may not meet its legal obligation to balance the books for that financial year.
To cope with the coronavirus pandemic, councils revealed they were planning a mix of responses including using up cash reserves, reducing services and cancelling or postponing spending on big projects.
What does the government say?
The government was not aware of any English councils at "imminent risk" of issuing a section 114 notice, Jeremy Pocklington, the top official at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government told MPs last week.
Council bosses, however, previously said the funding they had received was "not even close" to covering the costs of what had already been spent during the pandemic.
Mr Clarke said: "We are working on a comprehensive plan to ensure councils' financial sustainability over the financial year ahead – we will continue to work closely with them to ensure they are managing their costs and we have a collective understanding of the costs they are facing."
A Scottish government spokesperson said: "To date, Scotland's councils have received £405 million in advanced payments this financial year, and by the end of July this will have risen to £455 million.
"This funding, which included weekly advanced payments to councils until parliamentary approval was secured, will help prevent local authorities experiencing cash flow. Councils received an additional £150 million in May, £255 million in June, and will receive £50 million in July."
They added the Scottish government was working with local authorities and "pressing the UK government for urgent additional funding and flexibility for our partners in local government."
Councillor James Jamieson, chairman of the Local Government Association, which represents councils' interests, said it was pleased the "government had indicated it was working on a comprehensive plan to address the ongoing financial challenges," but "urged the government to bring forward details… as soon as possible".

Stop, reassess: no green light for uranium sales to Ukraine
Committee identifies risks of war, civil unrest and corruption.
The Australian Conservation Foundation has called on the federal government not to advance uranium sales to Ukraine after a parliamentary committee identified risks of war, civil unrest and corruption in the eastern European country.
The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties found the existing safeguards and undertakings are 'not sufficient' and there is a heightened risk that Australian nuclear material will go off the radar in Ukraine.
The committee identified war, civil unrest and corruption as particular concerns.
"There are unique and particular nuclear safety and security factors in Ukraine," said ACF's Dave Sweeney.
"The existing framework is not fit for purpose.
"The inadequacy of Australia's checks and balances may be further exposed by recent changes to the global political landscape that could result in an increase in Russian military adventurism.
"Australia, the country that fuelled Fukushima should not sell uranium to the country that gave us Chernobyl."
The Committee found "Australian nuclear material should never be placed in a situation where there is a risk that regulatory control of the material will be lost" (2.53)
The Committee recommended that Australia "permit the supply of Australian nuclear material to Ukraine only if Australia has a suitable contingency plan for the removal of Australian nuclear material if the material is at risk of a loss of regulatory control" (2.59)
"The federal government has developed a pattern of ignoring the recommendations of this very important committee, comprised of members of all major parties and both houses of parliament," Dave Sweeney said.
"This pattern must not continue. ACF calls on the federal government not to put its political agenda ahead of national and international security."

I am a nature photographer
Every year for the past 10 years, Adri and his wife Regine would stay for up to five months in Kenya. Adri even bought a Land Rover in the UK and shipped it to Kenya so they could be independent and follow the wildlife.
He shot many unforgettable images. He also had the ethics of a true wildlife photographer and took care never to disturb the animals he photographed.
In October 2012, Adri and Regine went to the Maasai Mara for six weeks. When travelling back to Nairobi, a terrible tragedy took place. They were victims of a brutal robbery at the gate of their campsite, and Adri was shot six times at short range, in his stomach, neck and eye.
He had already lost 90 per cent of the eyesight in his left eye after being accidentally injured by a bamboo arrow in a childhood game. In the robbery, his right eye was destroyed.
He was taken to the Kenyatta Hospital in Nairobi, where they were able to save his life. But the bullet in his neck had paralyzed him from his neck down. Even after more than a year of rehabilitation, he still can hardly move and can no longer see.
Two lives were destroyed that night in Nairobi. Adri is now 56 years old, and his future seems almost unbearable. But he still speaks passionate about African wildlife, and his photographs are even more precious to him now. He published a coffee table book 'Africa Together' in the year 2013, followed by a series of postcards in the year 2017 and a Dutch biography called 'Uitzicht' in 2020. These are for sale in the webshop.

Debtor Finance provides clients with access to cash flow locked up in their unpaid invoices.
Debtor Finance provides finance and receivables collection, but from a business owners perspective, almost always involves the provider of finance dealing with customer.

Invoice discounting provides clients with access to cash flow locked up in unpaid invoices without their customer's knowledge.

Federal Nuclear Waste Site Search Team Lampooned at Minnesota Hearing
Energy Department's "Consent-Based" Plan Slammed
Nukewatch Quarterly Fall 2016
By Kelly Lundeen
MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota—On July 21, the Department of Energy (DOE) held the last of eight hearings it dubbed "Consent-Based Siting" sessions regarding its plans for disposing of the nation's high-level radioactive waste from commercial reactors. For over 60 years, the roughly 60,000 tons of this waste has been accumulating at reactor sites, and the DOE is again publicly collecting input on how to choose a disposal site. Using its so-called "consent-based" initiative, the DOE is compiling comments regarding a framework for the process of finding a community that would accept decades of dangerous shipments and bury or store the waste. The DOE received less than a warm welcome at the Minneapolis Hilton.
Nukewatch staff member Kelly Lundeen plays the role of Potential Waste Host Community during the "Radioactive Green Eggs and Ham" action at the July DOE hearing in Minneapolis.
Nukewatch attended, along with supporters and allies that politely lambasted the DOE staff and its paid participants. Anti-nuclear activists traveled from as far away as Texas (Sustainable Economic and Energy Development Coalition), Illinois (Nuclear Energy Info. Service), Delaware (Green Delaware), and Nevada (NV Nuclear Waste Task Force), as well as Minnesota (North American Water Office, Women Against Military Madness, Legalectric, Friends of Coldwater).
Nuclear waste specialist Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear called the initiative "an elaborate fishing expedition conducted to test the strength of public opposition."
Mary Olson, from Nuclear Information & Resource Service was critical of the DOE's process too, and wrote Nukewatch in an email: "Individuals in the Department of Energy, who were part of the short-lived Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, believe that during the commission's term there were 'volunteer' sites for waste storage that came forward (Waste Control Specialists in Texas is one), and they decided to engage in what they believe is a consent-based waste storage siting process now, even though a change in federal law will be required to actually move the waste. The meetings were held to provide a public-participation component to this law-less act."
The DOE's meetings have been condemned for many reasons, among them:
Bailing out the nuclear industry—Under the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the DOE took responsibility for finding a storage site, and it committed to taking ownership of the waste as soon as it left the site of the utilities producing it. The act gave nuclear utilities free reign to produce radioactive waste for decades without having to worry about the cost of disposal or accidents. The nuclear industry wants this waste removed from its premises before more accidents happen. Since the DOE has yet to find a permanent disposal site, the utilities have successfully sued the DOE for missing the Nuclear Waste Policy Act deadline and forcing their continued onsite storage! This corporate welfare is one more way the government props up the industry. The industry's desire to get rid of the waste is what is driving the process for choosing a disposal site before there is sufficient thought given to a permanent geologic repository or a long term solution.
Involving pro-nuclear lobby at all levels—While the nuclear industry is behind the push for moving waste reactor fuel out of the hands of the companies that produced it, the nuclear industry is also in front of this push! The pro-nuclear lobby group Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) was on the panel of speakers for the DOE meeting. Nukewatch recently exposed this group's leverage over the government when pro-nuclear industry legislation to eliminate pre-conditions on new reactor construction passed in Wisconsin (See Summer 2016 Quarterly).
DOE's growing credibility gap—When an institution as trustworthy as the DOE is asking for "consent" about something, there is cause for suspicion. The violation of the Treaty of Ruby Valley in attempting to build the high-level radioactive waste dump at Yucca Mountain despite strong objections from the Western Shoshone First Nation, the pressure put on the Skull Valley Band of Goshute in Utah to house a high-level waste storage site, and the failure to meet cleanup requirements of the Tri-Party Agreement at the Hanford Reservation in Washington are only a few reasons for the great credibility gap the DOE has created for itself.
Ignoring previous public input—The collection of another volume of public comments gives the impression that the authorities have not heard from the public. On the contrary, the DOE has mountains of expert and public opinion on the question of waste disposal from hundreds of individuals and groups, collected for decades, much of it shelved and ill-considered if not ignored. For example, over 200 safe energy organizations representing all 50 states have signed onto and urged implementation of Hardened On-Site Storage (HOSS) principles—developed by Dr. Arjun Makhajani of the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research—for improving reactor-site waste storage facilities.
Leaving "Consent-based" undefined—It is necessary to have an agreed-upon definition of "consent" for the DOE process to be consensual, but according to Dave Kraft of Nuclear Energy Information Service in Chicago, reports that DOE officials have said that consensus may mean different things at different times and at different places. Carol Overland of Legalectric in Red Wing, Minnesota spoke at the meeting about "affirmative consent" in the context of violent assault, replacing the word "sexual" with "nuclear." She said: "Consent cannot be given when a person is incapacitated … Incapacitation may be caused … if monetary consideration is received and not publicly disclosed. Consent cannot be given when it is the result of any coercion, intimidation, force or threat of harm. When consent is withdrawn, or can no longer be given, nuclear activity must stop." Also, when speaking of consent, we must ask from whom it is being sought. The DOE is not seeking consent from communities along waste transport routes; and it is impossible to obtain consent from the thousands of future generations that will be affected.
Ignoring the WCS application—Of the eight consent-based siting public meetings held around the US, none were anywhere near the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) site in west Texas, the only place that has submitted an application to accept the waste. Nor was it acknowledged by the DOE that entertaining such applications from private companies completely bypasses DOE's own process of consent-based siting.
Radioactive Eggs and Ham
With DOE's dog and pony show set for stage, Nukewatch decided that an appropriate role would be to add our own circus act; "Radioactive Eggs and Ham," a parody of Dr. Seuss's 1960 children's book Green Eggs and Ham, riddled with radioactive references was written by me for Nukewatch specially for this meeting. The Q & A dialogue was read by two characters, the DOE and the Potential Waste Host Community. The DOE was played by Nukewatch member Roger Cuthbertson and Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) Board Member Carol Walker. The Potential Waste Host Community was played by Nukewatch members Elena Hight, Austin Sims and me.
When it came time for John Kotek, the DOE's Acting Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy, to speak, Roger, portraying the DOE, stole the stage proclaiming:
"I am the DOE. The DOE am I."
One of the representatives from the DOE stood up to try to quiet Roger, but then from the other side of the room the Potential Waste Host Community responded: "That DOE. That DOE. / I don't like nuclear energy."
The DOE representative flailed his arms, discouraged, and sat down.
Roger, portraying the DOE character, continued, "Do you like radioactive waste?"
The Potential Waste Host Community answered, "I do not like radioactive waste."
Mr. Kotek was still trying to speak and follow the prepared agenda, but even with the microphone he did not drown out the parody.
Roger's DOE character insisted, "Would you like it here or there?"
The Potential Waste Host Community answered, "I would not like it here or there. / I would not like it anywhere. / Stop making radioactive waste. / I do not like it anyplace."
Several people tried to prevent the disruption and one even said, "Is there anybody here who has the authority to remove these people?"
No one did. Eventually the Acting Assistant Secretary backed away and surrendered the microphone as we took over the meeting for another three minutes.
After hearing several suggested waste sites made by the DOE character in the skit, the Potential Waste Host Community countered, "I could not, would not, in a borehole. / It is not safe, or under control. / I will not take it on a train. / You should not drive it through the rain. / Not on a truck! Not next to me! / Not through my yard! You let me be! / I do not like it in Arizona. / I do not like it in Minnesota. / I will not take it in Massachusetts. / I will not take it to Yucca Mountain. / I do not like it here or there. / I do not like it anywhere! / Stop making radioactive waste! / I do not like it anyplace."
Finally the DOE character asked, "You do not like it, so you say. / What shall we do to save the day?"
The Potential Waste Host Community concluded, "Stop making radioactive waste! / Don't transport it all over the place. / Keep it on site / and save the human race!"
The tone for the remainder of the meeting had been set. Ridiculous claims made by the DOE were met with booing from the audience. During the Q & A period, 11 of 13 questions were critical of the DOE. When it came time for public comment, the denunciations were even more scathing thanks to a well-prepared, well-informed group of speakers that has been working against nukes for decades.
The federal process of seeking waste disposal sites is driven by the nuclear industry whose legal and financial liability will be lifted when its wastes are transferred to federal agencies. The DOE also needs to appear responsive to concerned citizens and has learned this lesson the hard way after facing opposition to the Yucca Mountain site and to earlier waste dump proposals. Now it feels it is necessary to build the image that it is seeking public input at an early stage in the process, and to use benign-sounding terms like "consent." These moves mean that control of the country's nuclear future has shifted slightly in the right direction. We will need to maintain public pressure to make sure that nuclear power becomes our nuclear past.

Infinite Combate Interview – Publisher Talks Bringing Visual Novels West and Keeping an Open Dialogue
August 5, 2020 August 5, 2020 Azario Lopez	0 Comments	Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? - Infinite Combate, Mages, PQube
With the western release of Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? – Infinite Combate on the horizon, we thought it'd be no better time than to reach out to publisher PQube and pick their brain about publishing the game in the west.
We were able to speak with Brand Manager for PQube Asia and Product Manager for DanMachi Anne-Lou Grosbois-Favreau about the publisher's approach to visual novels, keeping an open dialogue with fans, and stand out features within the upcoming dungeon-crawling RPG.
Azario Lopez: PQube seems to be actively looking to publish a variety of titles, what was it about Infinite Combate that made your team want to release it in the west?
Anne-Lou Grosbois-Favreau: Well the answer is two-fold: we like to bring Japanese titles to the west, I would say that's one of the things we're well-known for, and we have a long-standing working relationship with MAGES., so we were happy to work with them again.
Secondly, DanMachi is a pretty current and popular franchise, so it's really exciting for us to be able to work on it, especially being involved with the Anime Committee through MAGES.,
AL: Would you say that Infinite Combate is more for already established fans of the series, or can newcomers find enjoyment in the campaign?
ALGF: Luckily the game starts at the beginning of the first season of the anime, so fans of the franchise will be familiar with it, but find additional content to enjoy, and newcomers will not be thrown into a world they don't understand, as the story starts and explains everything you need to know, alongside some comprehensive tutorials for all aspects of the dungeon-crawling and RPG elements.
AL: What is the balance between dungeon-crawling RPG and visual novel portions throughout the game? Does one genre outweigh the other?
ALGF: I'd say it's 50/50 content. There is an absolute ton of dialogue but also grinding dungeons to get materials to craft certain weapons too, as well as getting those points to go on dates after the story is over – it creates a good balance between the two.
AL: With the topic of piracy within the visual novel community always in discussion and visual novel publisher backing away due to never turning a profit. How do you approach releasing VN titles in the west on PC with the growing list of "fans" who simply pirate the game?
ALGF: I think to be honest, people who pirate games are people who generally would not buy the game anyway. It's been proven before that those who do really like the game are likely to purchase it later, even if it's on sale (but don't ask me to quote the source for this, I just remember having heard that). Once a game has been ripped and put on pirate sites, it's a very hard task to try and prevent it from spreading. Our titles have to be launched through Steam, so they're not DRM-free, but it's all we can do at this stage to try to protect the games.
AL: You've had an ongoing dialogue with your fans about changes you need to make to release certain titles in the west on PS4. As a publisher, what's it like to have that transparency with gamers, and has this approach been positive for your company?
ALGF: A little while ago, we had a redesign of the logo, and during that time, we had a brainstorm with the CEO about the keywords that represented PQube as a brand, and one of the main ones was 'honesty'. It's really important to us to be as transparent as possible. We publish niche titles with a niche audience who has very specific requests and priorities, and it's our job to understand and respect those.
I personally believe that it's the only way forward for smaller publishers to have that honest conversation with the public, to really engage with them and for them to trust us. Within the limits of what we are allowed to say, we've strived to be as transparent as we could and I'm certain that it's paying off because we can see people on social media saying 'thank you for telling us, thank you for not hiding it until the last second' and they know that we won't hide those changes that they care about, and in fact might go out of their way to support us or recommend us because of it. I think (and perhaps I'm wrong), that we've established ourselves as an honest company, especially as our small team replies personally on Discord and Twitter as clearly as we can about the processes of the industry.
AL: Is Hestia truly the bestia?
ALGF: This is actually a controversial question from what I've seen on Twitter! However, our head of publishing Geraint Evans insists that Hestia is Bestia and therefore follow his lead at the Master Weeb of the company. She also has undeniable assets, although as a woman really it doesn't matter to me, but I can understand the appeal…
AL: How long will the mane campaign take to complete? I only ask for those who want to get to the post-game date scenes, and it's definitely not for my own knowledge.
ALGF: For the main campaign, it depends. There's a lot of side conversations, side quests, and such that is entirely optional but will add several hours of content. Without, probably 20 hours. With 30+.
That's up until the credits. After the credits you've got another 30 hours or so in the optional dungeons and date events that you need to work to unlock.
AL: In terms of upcoming visual novels, your team has Root Film and Aokana coming up, is it safe to say that you have no plans moving on from publishing VNs in the west?
ALGF: We're always on the lookout for opportunities from Japan, especially quality visual novels, so while we're diversifying, we are definitely still looking for new titles like those, and maybe one day, even otome (speaking for myself, I would love some pretty boys or even, who knows, yaoi…).
AL: For those looking forward to Infinite Combate, what is your personal favorite system in the game, and is there anything you'd like to say to fans?
ALGF: I'm not sure it counts as a system, but I like the idea to have supports that come with me in the Dungeon, especially if all the gauges are full at the same time, you can land some satisfying wombo-combos of spells, and as the kids probably don't say, that's my jam.
To fans, I'd like to say thank you for sticking with us, for supporting our endeavors to bring various titles to the west, and for being really fun to interact with on our social media! We have a Community Manager but as I used to be the sole marketing person a long time ago, I had most of our social channels to handle and I still look at them every day and talk to the community all the time, and it's very gratifying to have people who react positively to what we're trying to achieve, which is not just a commercial aim, but to really build our own PQube space, and we wouldn't be moving forward without our long-standing community!
Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? – Infinite Combate will release on PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch on August 7 in Europe and August 11 in North America. The PC-via Steam has been delayed to late August.

Field Ready: The Complicated Story of the Simple Field Watch
Posted on January 3, 2020 by stnmgru_j4tj	Posted in Casio Military Watches
How the field watch journeyed from saving lives in the hellish trenches of World War I to decorating the wrists of fashionably rugged-looking civilians a century later is a rather befuddling tale. In this feature from our April-May 2019 issue, correspondent Allen Farmelo takes us through it.
At first only acceptable for women, the wristwatch finally gained currency among men during the American bicycle craze of the late 1800s when a bevy of clever devices for strapping watches to the wrist – then called "wristlets" – were developed and marketed for hands-free time telling. During the second Boer War (1899-1902) and World War I (1914-1918), soldiers began buying these wristwatches because they believed, quite accurately, that a watch could help keep them alive by synchronizing movements at the front with the larger artillery blasts happening behind them. When service ended, some survivors of these wars began to use their wristwatches for hunting, fishing, hiking, bicycling and driving the occasional automobile. Watch manufacturers in Europe and America were quick to catch both the military and civilian trends, and advertisements readily conflated both uses into one message: rugged men doing rugged things needed a rugged wristwatch.
A first-series Rolex Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6350 with honeycomb dial from 1953 that sold for CHF 68,750 at Christie's Geneva on May 16, 2016. The time-only Rolex Explorer was a rebranded Oyster with numerals on the dial that debuted in 1953 as a rugged tool for the era's most aggressive adventurers.
In 1903, Dimier Frères & Cie. issued a patent for a watch case with attached lugs to hold the wrist strap, and as early as 1913, the New York-based mail order company Ingersoll – capable of churning out as many as 8,000 watches a day – was advertising these new wristwatches to "outdoor folks" and "husky sportsmen." Other companies dubbed similar watches the "Skirmisher," the "Campaign Watch" and the "Territorial Wrist Watch." Before long, "Khaki" began to appear in ads for watches with straps made of beige webbing, and as early as 1917, the American company Depollier was selling moisture-proof wristwatches with luminous dials and Waltham-built movements as the "Khaki Watch." The field watch as we know it today was thus codified over 100 years ago.
Shedding Victorian Values and Embracing the Great Outdoors
While these new wristwatches appealed to soldiers for obvious reasons, they also appealed to a whole generation that was shrugging off the high decoration and strict etiquette of the Victorian and Edwardian eras in favor of stripped down, functional designs and increasingly relaxed social norms. Between the World Wars, wristwatches also aligned with a rising obsession with the great outdoors, epitomized by the legacy of John Muir's conservationism, Teddy Roosevelt's formation of the American National Parks and the vast popularity of Ernest Hemingway's stories about the contemplative WWI veteran and trout fisherman Nick Adams. This was a context within which a rugged tool watch could begin to capture the hearts of civilians.
Rolex, Tudor and the Civilian Roots of the Field Watch
In 1919, Hans Wilsdorf moved Rolex from London to La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, where he began to perfect his waterproof Oyster case, and in 1946, he formed Tudor in order to offer similar but more affordable watches. A brilliant marketeer, Wilsdorf would exploit headline-grabbing explorers and athletes as watch brand testimonees, cementing the idea that a wristwatch could act as a symbol of one's ruggedness and bravery. That symbolic power was – and still is – one of the core appeals of the field watch.
Even though Rolex took on only limited military contracts, many World War II soldiers – especially pilots – would buy Oysters for themselves because the legibility and accuracy far exceeded that of mil-spec watches. Wilsdorf couldn't have asked for a better promotional lift, as these Rolex-wearing military personnel were fast becoming folk heroes and style icons. Capitalizing on that marketing opportunity, Wilsdorf rebranded the Rolex Oyster as the Air-King in 1945, a move that dovetailed perfectly with the emergence of the Jet Age after WWII. In 1953, Wilsdorf rebranded an Oyster with numerals on the dial as the Explorer, this time capitalizing on an Oyster having made it to the top of Mt. Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary's team. Though neither the Air-King nor the Explorer were military issues, they brought straightforward aesthetics and battle-ready durability to the wrists of countless civilians.
The Tudor Ranger was an affordable version of the Rolex Explorer.
Reissued as the 41-mm Heritage Ranger in 2014, this watch helped Tudor achieve the vast popularity of their current line of vintage-inspired tool watches.
The Air-King raises questions about the differences between pilots' watches and field watches. Though many watches were designed with pilots in mind (e.g., Charles Lindbergh's clever Longines Hour Angle, Zeniths with billboard-sized dials, various chronographs and eventually GMTs), many WWII mil-specs covered watches for both air and ground divisions, making it difficult to draw a clear line between the two categories. Because most civilians never become pilots, commercial marketing of these watches focused on "the field," a term which likely derives from 'battlefield' but which has long since become synonymous with the great outdoors. In the case of Rolex – as well as many other brands – the distinction between a pilots' watch and a field watch may come down to naming conventions and marketing, neither of which deliver a definitive distinction.
Nonetheless, the Rolex Explorer was popular enough during the 1950s that Tudor brought out the Ranger as an affordable alternative in the early 1960s. With its black face, bold luminous markers and an impenetrable Rolex Oyster case, the Ranger epitomized the simple aesthetics and functionality of the field watch. In 2014, Tudor reissued it as the Heritage Ranger, a 41-mm field watch with a camouflage strap that helped shuttle the company back to the top of Swiss watchmaking. That camouflage strap suggests a military connection that was never really there while also capitalizing on the recent revival of camouflage in popular fashion; one can imagine that Hans Wilsdorf, the clever marketeer, would wholly approve.
The Rise of the Hamilton Khaki Field Watch
Why would a WWII-era watch design still hold sway over the popular imagination during the 1950s and '60s, a time when fast-paced futurism promised to put the war as far behind as possible? Part of the answer is the endurance of military men as sex symbols in WWII-themed films after the war – especially 1951's Oscar-nominated film The Frogmen, which helped cement Hamilton's military watches into the popular imagination as symbols of masculinity and bravery.
Like most American manufacturers, Hamilton stuck to WWII-era military specifications after the war, but in 1964, the U.S. Department of Defense issued watch specification MIL-W-46374A, the template for Hamilton's 33-mm Ref. 9219, a time-only watch with a 24-hour inner track that Hamilton would readily produce millions of. Predictably, those numbers swelled during the Vietnam War.
Today's 38-mm Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical is larger than its predecessors from the 1970s and '80s, but the field-watch aesthetics and durability remain largely unchanged.
By the end of the 1960s, Hamilton had partnered with L.L. Bean to sell co-branded versions of the 9219 through the Maine-based mail order company's catalog. Offered alongside Swiss Army knives, compasses, thick wool socks and other outdoorsy goods, Hamilton would repeat this co-branded marketing strategy with Orvis and Brookstone, as well as selling countless Hamilton-branded Khaki Fields to other commercial outlets. When the MIL-W-46374A specification became defunct in the 1980s – leaving massive manufacturing capability potentially inert – Hamilton began to hit the civilian market even harder with the Hamilton Khaki Field Watch, effectively transforming this military icon into an outdoorsy lifestyle accessory.
Mil-Spec Becomes Mil-Chic
In a stroke of good luck for Hamilton and other companies selling field watches, the military-influenced style was undergoing a complex journey into high fashion during the 1970s and '80s. In 1971, Yves Saint-Laurent unexpectedly turned camouflage prints into runway chic, a gesture in perfect sync with anti-war protesters in the U.S. who sported combat uniforms with studied irony. By the 1980s, politically minded punk bands like The Clash helped make army jackets as common as blue jeans, while Andy Warhol started painting huge canvases with camouflage patterns. Camo had become a fashion statement, which in turn fueled a significant uptick in army surplus stores at the time.
It was in this milieu that the preppy weekender look – which has always borrowed liberally from military garb – would ascend to great heights. Paul Newman and the ever-outdoorsy Robert Redford sported aviator sunglasses, khaki pants and field jackets with effortless aplomb and massive sex appeal. Meanwhile Andy Warhol – somewhat confusingly as a glamorous, gay, urban art star – complemented his Levi's, Chelsea boots and horned-rimmed glasses with a red L.L. Bean down-filled puffy vest. Passing away in 1987, this would be one of Warhol's last looks, one so elemental and iconic that's it's been a men's fashion staple ever since.
CWC has been selling field watches to civilians since the 1990s. The 38-mm General Service model pictured here is just one of many mil-spec models CWC offers today.
These outdoorsy styles became so widespread and have endured for so long that today we hardly notice the military origins of camouflage-print Louis Vuitton handbags, $500 Prada aviators, or the epaulets and ammunition holders on a Ralph Lauren jacket. Following yet another resurgence of the preppy outdoorsy look, today's so-called heritage brands (L.L. Bean among them) are reissuing items from their back catalogs as the latest styles. Accordingly, in 2018, Hamilton was able to bring out the Khaki Field Mechanical, a hand-wound version that's become a hit all over again – including, for the first time, fashionable camouflage straps.
Today's Khaki Field series ranges from blacked-out 50-mm giants to svelte 38-mm steel versions with aged lume and olive green NATO straps. The latter are largely faithful to the aesthetics of the early Khaki Field Watch, and – following current trends down into the sub-40-mm zone – some of the most popular. The resurgence of the Hamilton Khaki Field proves once again that, while technology marches more or less forward, fashion will perennially circle back on itself.
The Mechanical Field Watch in the 21st Century
Beyond Tudor and Hamilton, the field watch is seeing a broad resurgence among many brands, old and new. Below are a few examples that demonstrate how brands today are playing with field-watch style, mixing up various features to create new models that scratch that old itch for durability, simple design and the symbolic power of sporting a tough little tool watch.
CWC General Service (£199-£449) – In the 1970s, the Cabot Watch Company, or CWC, established itself in order to snatch up newly available contracts with Britain's Ministry of Defense as Rolex and Hamilton relinquished these shrinking partnerships. By the 1990s, CWC was starting to sell mil-spec watches to civilians, and today, CWC's blocky, utilitarian General Service models are available in a range of compelling and affordable models. The CWC W10 GS, for example, sports an ETA 2824 automatic mechanical movement, a rounded, 38-mm stainless-steel case and a classic mil-spec dial that could easily pass for a WWII-era watch. Other CWC GS models recreate the quartz units of the 1980s and '90s in a number of military-inspired colorways.
No two of the Longines Heritage Military's "aged" dials will be the same. With its simple 38-mm steel case and minimal dial text, it captures the stripped-down appeal of a classic field watch.
At just 38 mm across, the Bell & Ross BR V1-92 Black Steel is one of the smallest watches in the Bell & Ross catalog, but its striking, straightforward dial gives it massive wrist presence.
Longines Heritage Military Watch ($2,150) – Despite its somewhat ordinary name, the Longines Military Watch was one of the most alarming watches in all categories for 2018 because it included an intentionally "aged" dial. That aging was achieved by randomly splashing flecks of dark paint onto the cream dial, creating what many call "fauxtina." That dial may look a little odd against the otherwise unblemished case and the brand new blued steel hands, but these speckles add depth and warmth to the simple elegance of this 38.5-mm time-only field watch. The L888 movement (built on an ETA A31 base) beats a little slower than today's standard, but in so doing offers up a robust 65-hour power reserve.
Bell & Ross BR V1-92 Military and BR V1-92 Black Steel ($1,990) – Where CWC and Longines can draw on their own heritage, younger brands don't let that stand in the way of producing some of today's most compelling field watches. Consider the Bell & Ross BR V1-92 Military and BR V1-92 Black Steel, two 38.5-mm automatic mechanical field watches released in 2017. Bell & Ross excels at playfully patching together preexisting design elements to create their own concoctions, and with the BR V1-92 Military they've done so with characteristic grace: aged lume, a minutes track around the dial (no hours), a "mouse pip" at noon, a red "MT" logo (stands for Military Type) and a decidedly plain brushed steel case. For those seeking something more straightforward, the Black Steel's monochromatic dial offers eye-grabbing legibility and classic military style. Though neither model resembles any historical reference, both the Military and the Black Steel look just like field watches ought to; as such, they are brilliant examples of how functional military design elements have become fashionable aesthetic cues over time.
Weiss 38-mm Standard Issue Field Watch ($950-$1,995) – Another interesting riff on the field watch comes from California-based Weiss Watches, a recent phenomenon in the American watch scene. We might catch a bit of irony in the name Standard Issue Field Watch, as this design is neither standard nor issued; instead, like the Bell & Ross, Weiss has combined classic field-watch details to excellent effect. With a 38-mm steel case, a subdial for running seconds at 6 and a railroad minutes track, this watch exudes classic field-watch style. Meanwhile, the "Los Angeles, CA" label across the dial announces that there's no bona fide military connection whatsoever. Two movements are available: the manually wound Caliber 1005 built on an ETA 7001 base and the automatic Caliber 2100 built on an Eterna 39 base. Those looking for a bigger watch will want to jump up to the 42-mm model that features Weiss's in-house manually wound Caliber 2005 (starting at $2,250 for steel and going up to $8,950 for the solid 18k yellow-gold models).
Seals Model C Field Explorer ($640) – Affordable, funky and inspired by seemingly everything from WWII at once, the Seals Model C Field Explorer combines various field-watch elements into a wholly original-looking watch. The blocky case and wire lugs are reminiscent of a Panerai Radiomir, while the generously lumed numerals and markers, broad hands and high contrast outer track offer classic field-watch legibility. Inside is a Swiss Technology Production 1-11 automatic mechanical movement capable of storing 44 hours of power. For the funkiest version, go for the aged stainless-steel finish with the blue dial.

The Future of the Field Watch
Where complicated watches draw us into nuanced engineering feats and bejeweled watches dazzle us with diamonds, the field watch must stick to the simplest design formula without succumbing to banality. Witnessing and judging attempts by watchmakers to meet that design challenge is surprisingly rewarding, enough so that over a century after its inception, simple field watches are some of the most highly anticipated iterations each year. Despite the slow pace of their evolution – or perhaps because of it – we can count on field watches to hold our imaginations, not only as companions for life's various adventures, but as symbols of who we'd like to be as we explore, scout, range and traverse whatever it is we consider to be the field.

There is one great book by Jimmy Nilsson Applying Domain-Driven Design and Patterns (russian translation of that book is just awful, so now I'm looking for orignal copy). Jimmy is describing DDD with a very nice examples and concepts, also he gives a good attension to TDD and refactoring. If you want to start with DDD (and you have to) you should check DDD website http://domaindrivendesign.org/ and I really liked personal blog of Jimmy Nilsson.
I already did use DDD in my previous posts while I designed registration functionality for web application. I believe that many of you are using DDD in your development practice but it could be rather implicit practice.
DDD is not something strict like methodologies or technologies are and give no strict rules how to do things, but rather a way of thinking how to work with domain specific within software development. What I personally like in DDD that it goes with a set of patterns that also helps to form common vocabulary for developers. There is a document that gives short summarize on DDD patterns, you can get is here.
Let's review triangle of What/Why/Where for DDD.
Core domain - Understanding of domain is vital for any software product. Proper representation of domain with tools and languages you have is vital for any software project.
Patterns - If I met some problem I'm really sure that I'm not first person who did, and probably this problem is alredy solved (probably well enought). Such "solved" problems forms so called patterns, something "know-how" that could be reused for another partcular needs. There are no reasons to reinvent wheeel.
Collaboration - Collaboration between developers and domain experts as more extensive as possible. Experts could be a customers (customer on site as XP says) or other representive who in charge of product (product owner as Scrum says).
Software is something that suppose to solve problems we met in life. DDD focused on these problems and tries to desing software as closer to problems as possible. Personally I think that DDD is a native way of software development.
Everywhere actually. DDD is not for some specific areas. So, Web, Desktop, Fun or Science.. everything is applicable.
As I said on a beginning DDD is something that every developer shound aware about it (I would highlight word "aware" meaning it is not expected to be an expert on it, that always good, but know that it is exists and know key priciples). You will easy found a start up materials in internet. Meanwhile if I meet some examples of DDD patterns implementation I'll do blog about it.

Major revelopment progress at ITC
by Brett Kitching
TURF CHAT
THE construction zones of the Ipswich Turf Club are not pretty sights at the moment.
However there is clear evidence of progress on the infrastructure project.
The double story events centre with racing stewards and jockey's rooms below has started cracking along this past month.
The pouring of slabs on two levels gives a clear display that the long-awaited works at the ITC are well and truly under way.
A three-week spell from racing has allowed an uninterrupted period of construction and the contractors have taken advantage of this.
The main building is still forecast for completion in the spring followed by the new race day stalls, demolition of the old stalls, and completion of a new carpark and full forecourt.
The first stage of the forecourt is set for completion a month prior to the Ipswich Cup on June 15.
While it is far from a pretty venue at the moment, it is promised by the contractors that the site will be presentable without impact on Ipswich Cup Day.
Marquees will be in place as normal and the public will have access to the entire Viewing Terrace which provides a terrific view of the racing in a central position.
The ongoing construction sites will be fenced off on Cup Day leaving the event to be enjoyed by what will be another bumper attendance judging by early interest.
The "sold out'' sign went up last week for the private grandstand side marquees and there is strong interest for all areas including the Infield Festival.
The interest for this year's Cup Day augers well for the future of the major community event as completion of the current projects gives way to modern site that will be a great source of pride for the overall community of Ipswich.
Rain helpful for Ipswich track
THE first decent rainfall for months after a hot dry summer arrived in mid-March with almost 100mm falling over the weekend at Bundamba. This rain helped to give the course proper a full drenching and assisted in the recovery of the track from the woes of the previous month.
While the track is not fully recovered in areas, QRIC stewards are expecting to give the go-ahead for the scheduled meeting on Friday following track inspections over the next couple of days.
However, there is still no solution to the 130 year old problem of the poor subsurface drainage around the course, other than to hope there is no rain on the morning of a race meeting at the time of the steward's inspection.
Group 1 excitement
ROSEHILL had its biggest day of the year on Saturday as the running of the world's richest two-year-old race the Golden Slipper was conducted.
The highlight of the day however was the champion mare Winx collecting her 32nd consecutive win in the George Ryder as she heads towards her swansong outing in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes on the second day of the Championships at Randwick in a few weeks.
The next programmed Ipswich race meeting is on Friday.
Next month's racing commences on Thursday, April 4, followed by three Wednesdays - April 10, 17 and 24.
