Raymond Lee Jewelers Shares with Its Customers the Beauty of Van Cleef & Arpels Jewelry
The French jewelry house of Van Cleef & Arpels, which is also famous for its luxury watches and perfumes, was founded four years before the debut of the 20th century, in 1896. It is renowned for its excellent craftsmanship in precious stones, and its sophisticate pieces featuring flowers, birds, butterflies, and fairy tale creatures. The company's flagship store is located in Place Vendôme in Paris, a landmark of the French capital. Van Cleef & Arpels is present throughout the world in most important cities, from Europe and America to Asia. The company has even founded a jewelry and watchmaking school, from the desire to share its knowledge and expertise about these extraordinary arts. Van Cleef & Arpels ceased to be a family business in 1999, when it was taken over by the Richemont Group.
Van Cleef & Arpels is inspired by several main themes, which keep recurring in their collections, in ever new and dazzling forms. Whether this luxury jewelry company draws on nature, femininity, or exoticism, the results are always stunning and impeccably crafted. The house periodically reinvents itself, but the primary motifs remain the same: the clover or the fairy, for instance. Another distinguishing feature of Van Cleef & Arpels is the inclination to tell stories through their collections.
Jewelry for the Elite
The house is well known for being among the favorite jewelers of global elite, including royalties and celebrities. Clients include Duchess of Windsor, Elisabeth Taylor, and Princess Grace of Monaco.
The Mystery Setting Technique
Van Cleef & Arpels has introduced a unique procedure in gem setting, for which the company owns the trademark. With this groundbreaking technique, the precious stone is set in such a way that the prongs are invisible, which makes the gem look like it stands on its own. Few master jewelers are able to use it successfully, and with such a high level of expertise as Van Cleef's experts. Pieces made in this way are very rare due to the large amount of labor involved. For instance, making a simple brooch using this technique requires about 300 hours of work.
Van Cleef & Arpels high jewelry collections include Bals de Legende, California reverie, L'Atlantide, Midsummer Night's Dream, and Les Jardins, among others. The titles speak for themselves, and reveal the house's propensity for the narrative.
Alhambra is an emblematic motif for the house of Van Cleef & Arpels, which was launched at the end of the 1960s. The Alhambra pendants, necklaces, and earrings, made of mother of pearl, gold, diamonds, and gemstones, continue to attract jewelry lovers. The clover, symbolizing luck, but also love, is reproduced in multiple designs and shapes befitting every style. Alhambra jewelry is recognized as a token of luck, and the four-leaf clover has come to be identified with the house of Van Cleef & Arpels. Throughout the collection, consisting of lucky charms, talismans and pendants, the Alhambra pieces epitomize the house's ultimate love and inspiration: nature.
Alhambra over the Years
The company reinterpreted its popular Alhambra motif over the years. The collection was updated in 2001, when the jewelry design gained more emphasis through the usage of various colors and materials. Combining yellow gold with mother-of-pearl radiance, the house brought new enriching touches to the Alhambra motif. From Vintage Alhambra, reproducing the first Alhambra piece to Infinite Alhambra, the collection has been constantly renewed and enriched. Vintage & Magic Alhambra introduces malachite, while Sweet Alhambra Collection features carnelian. Malachite is a hard stone, highly appreciated for its green hues. The selection of the material is perfectly matched with the motif of the four-leaf clover, and the house's propensity for nature. Carnelian, on the other hand, emanates warmth, and its deep hue is further enhanced by the careful polishing of Van Cleef & Arpels' experts.
Perlee
This collection includes delicate glittery pieces, which are beautifully crafted. The colorful beads that adorn the rings and bracelets in the collection in versatile variations can be matched in countless ways to express your personality.
This collection offers a reinterpretation of natural beauty through gemstones. Colorful flowers and delicate butterflies embellish the rings and necklaces, combining precious stones and gold.
Flying Beauties
With this collection, the house of Van Cleef & Arpels celebrates nature once again by capturing the beauty of winged creatures, such as birds and butterflies, in the form of irresistible jewels.
Elegance and distinction characterize all Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry pieces for men, including cufflinks and bracelets.
Diamond Breeze
White gold is combined with diamonds in imaginative ways, resulting in amazing jewelry, which can be worn on various occasions to enhance your natural beauty. Deeply feminine, the jewelry pieces in the collection suggest air lightness, enchanting with their finesse and refinement.
All the items in this collection, from engagement rings to wedding bands and bridal sets, bear the inimitable signature of the house, which was born out of love. There's no metaphor here, as Alfred Van Cleef founded the jewelry company together with Salamon Arpels, after marrying Estelle Arpels.
Both women and men's watches made by the house are instantly recognizable due to the unique blend of imagination, aesthetics, and craftsmanship. Extraordinary Dials, Hummingbird watches, Polar Landscape watches, and Poetic Complications timepieces catch the eye and enchant the senses.
Quest for Beauty
Those who love Van Cleef & Arpels creations, as well as those who are willing to discover them, have the opportunity to visit the house's heritage exhibition, "A Quest for Beauty: The Art of Van Cleef & Arpels", which is hosted by the Bowers Museum, in Santa Ana. If you happen to live or travel to California at the beginning of this year, until February 15, you may want to stop by. You will be able to see over 200 outstanding jewelry pieces, including watches and accessories, spanning more than a century of work dedicated to the craft of jewelry and watch making.

[September 20, 2008] You've been in church for years. Now you have the opportunity to start a new church, without traditions ... nothing ingrained ... no one to say, "We've always done it this way." What is your new church going to look like? What will be its personality? When people try to describe this church, what will they say?
These are the questions facing White Water Christian Church of Laramie, Wyo. Their doors have been open since Sept. 14. Of course, the doors aren't really theirs. The infant church began to meet last Sunday in rented rooms provided by Laramie's high school.
The minister, Chad Halbach, packed up his family in February and moved from Elkhart to Laramie in this long-anticipated venture. Chad had recently given up his part-time ministry position at Irish Grove Christian Church near Middletown. A few months earlier, he had left his job at Lincoln Christian College to devote more time to the work.
In 2006, with the vision and support of a nearby church in Cheyenne, Halbach became the lead team member for a nondenominational new church in Laramie. From that moment on, he has been working with family, friends and interested churches in the forming of a nucleus of people led by God with a vision for a church that didn't yet exist.
"We've been working so long on opening day," Halbach muses, "that we're just now having time to sit back and shift attention to how we will 'do' church."
Opening day preparation began when the family of eight moved to Laramie in February. With six children attending everything from preschool to college, opportunities to meet the community opened immediately.
"We were all outside one day and a family from down the street walked by," Halbach said. "They found out we were here to start a church, and they were thrilled. They'd been looking for a church and just hadn't found the right fit."
The kids helped spread the message, too. Even the children got in on the advertising. When asked at school what brought them to Laramie, 6-year-old Rachel answered, "God did."
As team members were slowly added, their circle of influence spread. Chad's wife, Marsha, took on the role of children's minister when that position remained unfilled. The team filled out with a college minister and creative arts minister. At least one non-staff family relocated to Laramie to be a part of the lay ministry.
By the beginning of August, all three primary staff members and their families were holding small group studies throughout the town. A month before opening day, the team began hosting Sunday morning worship for those already involved in the church. The number had grown from just the eight Halbachs to approximately 75 to 100 worshippers. No advertising was done for these prep Sundays. The target date remained what it had been for the last year: Sept. 14.
So, last weekend, 250 people gathered to celebrate the first official worship service. There were 35 children. "That was a good number, considering the demographics of the town," Marsha Halbach reports. A number of people expressed interest in membership and hearing more about baptism. "Our goal now for these people is trying to get them involved so they grow," she said.
The questions remain: What will this church be known for? How will it be described?
Chad Halbach has this to say about it: "We're trying to set the DNA of the church early on. We're not stuffy ... just very 'real' with each other. We (the ministers) need wisdom to help people. We're working on reaching out to the churched people to get them involved as much as the unchurched people."

Pence Launches Gubernatorial Bid
As expected (and accidentally leaked by his campaign committee), U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, R-In., is running for governor of Indiana in 2012. The former radio broadcaster has served in Congress since 2001, where he's become known as a staunch conservative and Tea Party favorite.
"I'm in this race," Pence told supporters. "Any real Hoosier knows any important race begins in the month of May."
Political observers predict the 2012 governor's race could be an ugly contest in the battleground state, with Democrats portraying Pence has a deep partisan figure.
State Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker issued a statement Thursday calling Pence a "vitriolic critic with a megaphone", accusing him of spending a "decade in Congress focusing on divisive issues rather than working for the people of Indiana."
Former state House Speaker John Gregg is considered the likely Democratic candidate and plans to form an exploratory committee later this month.

CS Table, Friday, 30 January 2015: Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID)
This week in CS table, we will read the first major paper on RAID (not the bug spray, but the disk technology - Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks). This classic paper not only led computer scientists to think differently about storage, but also saw wide adoption in the real world. Copies are available outside Professor Rebelsky's office.
Patterson, D. A., Gibson, G., and Katz, R. H. 1988. A case for redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID). In Proceedings of the 1988 ACM SIGMOD international Conference on Management of Data (Chicago, Illinois, United States, June 01 - 03, 1988). H. Boral and P. Larson, Eds. SIGMOD '88. ACM, New York, NY, 109-116. DOI=https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=50202.50214.
Increasing performance of CPUs and memories will be squandered if not matched by a similar performance increase in I/O. While the capacity of Single Large Expensive Disks (SLED) has grown rapidly, the performance improvement of SLED has been modest. Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks (RAID), based on the magnetic disk technology developed for personal computers, offers an attractive alternative to SLED, promising improvements of an order of magnitude in performance, reliability, power consumption, and scalability. This paper introduces five levels of RAIDs, giving their relative cost/performance, and compares RAID to an IBM 3380 and a Fujitsu Super Eagle.
Computer science table is a weekly meeting of Grinnell College community members (students, faculty, staff, etc.) interested in discussing topics related to computing and computer science. CS Table meets Fridays from 12:10-12:50 in the Day PDR (JRC 224A). Contact Sam Rebelsky, rebelsky@grinnell.edu, for the weekly reading. Students on meal plans, faculty, and staff are expected to cover the cost of their meals. Visitors to the College and students not on meal plans can charge their meals to the department.
Glimmer Labs
The Glimmer Labs pages are currently under development.
The Grinnell Laboratory for Interactive Multimedia Experimentation and Research, aka "Glimmer" aka "Glimmer Labs" is a research laboratory in the Department of Computer Science at Grinnell College. Samuel A. Rebelsky serves as the director of Glimmer Labs, which has a host of student researchers.
Glimmer Labs currently supports two primary research projects. In the Mediascripting project, we are building tools and resources to explore interactive scripting of media applications. While our emphasis is on using functional approaches to scripting, we support a variety of languages and paradigms. In the CSG-CS2 project, we are building a curriculum for data structures and algorithms that emphasizes computing for social good.
From 1997 to 2006, the research focus of Glimmer Labs was interactive hypermedia, particularly targeting the World Wide Web. The three main projects of Glimmer Labs at the time were Project Clio, a suite of resources to gather and analyze information about student Web usage, SiteWeaver, a tool suite for building Web sites, and TrailBlazer, a tool set for annotating and linking arbitrary Web pages. All of those projects have been discontinued.

Thursday Extra: Summer Opportunities in CS
Tue, 2011-11-08 11:50 — weinman
On November 10, the computer science department's faculty will discuss summer opportunities for computer science students.
It's never to soon to think about what you're going to do next summer! While summer may seem far away, taking advantage of some of the better summer opportunities requires advance planning - for example, some programs have deadlines in January or February.
At this session, members of the CS department and the Career Development Office will discuss typical summer options available in computer science - research, internships, and more. They will also suggest strategies for developing your applications. At a separate session, to be held early next semester, the CS faculty will describe summer research opportunities available at Grinnell.
Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). the talk and discussion will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Thursday Extra: Summer research opportunities in computer science
On Thursday, February 3, faculty in the Department of Computer Science will discuss summer research opportunities, both on and off campus, that are open to our students, including the projects that our faculty will direct this year.
Refreshments will be served at 4:15 p.m. in the Computer Science Commons (Noyce 3817). The discussion will follow at 4:30 p.m. in Noyce 3821. We encourage anyone who might be interested in summer research in computer science to attend!
CS Table, Friday, 30 October 2009: RAID
Tue, 2009-10-27 08:10 — rebelsky
It's the week after break. We think that you're up to something a bit deeper and a bit more challenging. Hence, we're going to read the first major paper on RAID (not the bug spray, but the disk technology). Copies are available outside Professor Rebelsky's office.
Grinnell College's CS Table is a weekly gathering of folks on campus (students, faculty, staff, alums, etc.) to talk about issues relating to computer science. CS Table meets each Friday at noon in JRC 224A, the Day Public Dining Room (PDR) in the Joe Rosenfeld '25 Center (JRC). All are welcome, although computer science students and faculty are particularly encouraged to attend.
Student research projects
Students work with faculty on a range of research and development projects. Much activity takes place in the summer, when Grinnell College provides fine support to students (stipend, credits). Other work takes place during the regular semester. Although not complete, the following listing illustrates many of the projects involving student-faculty collaborations.

MAX (1982-1990)
At different times, students contributed to the development of a matrix computation package that was published in 1988 by Brooks/Cole as MAX -- the MAtriX Algebra Calculator. Professor Gene Herman is the principal author of the package and directed the students' contributions. Professor Herman and Professor Charles Jepsen wrote the text of the book.
The Core System (1979-1981)
Several students worked with Professor Gene Herman to create device-independent graphics subroutines in FORTRAN and Pascal, implementing a 1978 proposal (Bergeron, R. Daniel; Bono, Peter R.; and Foley, James D., Graphics programming using the Core system , ACM computing surveys 10 [December, 1978], pp. 389-443) for a graphics standard.
You Solved It! (1979-1981)
Under the direction of Professor Gene Herman, several students developed a collection of computer-aided instruction programs providing drill and practice in precalculus mathematics.
independent project
Students and faculty work together on many Mentored Advanced Projects (MAPs) and other scholarly endeavors, both during the academic year and in the summers. For example, about a dozen students work as research/development teams with faculty in a typical summer. Some on-going projects include:
Software performance and effective cache use
Program reasoning in the computer science curriculum and semi-automated programming
Fostering inclusivity in early computer science activities for youth
Evolution simulations for research and education
Extracting meaning from images, such as character recognition in historical maps
Christine Wang '08 presents two posters at ITiCSE 2007 in Dundee Scotland, based on work with students Monica Ugwi, Eric Omwega, and Jonathan Tsu and with faculty member Henry Walker.


Strolling Vagabond (Darci Brahma) has booked her passage to the South Island.
A tilt at the Gr.3 Winter Cup (1600m) at Riccarton on August 4 was confirmed on Saturday by trainer Gerald Innes following the mare's hard-fought victory in the Sinclair Electrical & Refrigeration Handicap (1800m) at New Plymouth.
"We'll be going down there for sure after that effort," Innes said.
A $21 chance in the market for the Cup, Strolling Vagabond is a seasoned traveller and past visits to Christchurch have been rewarded with three placings.
On Saturday, she was aided by a good ride from Lisa Allpress and they didn't need to go around a horse to win.
Strolling Vagabond raced midfield on the fence and Allpress took advantage of the inside gaps to finish doggedly along the fence to account for the favourite Rodrico.
Innes had considered a start in the Listed Powerworx Opunake Cup (1400m), but felt the easier option was in the mare's best interests.
"The syndicate were quite happy to miss the Cup and put some money in the bank and it's all worked out very well," he said.
Rodrico hit the front before the turn and he fought on bravely while Wazuzu came from the back to finish third ahead of Waipipi Lad, who made the pace. – NZ Racing Desk.

8 European gems off the beaten track
16 July 2022, by Eesha Wirk
Visiting some of Europe's most popular sights can make for a stressful experience, what with all the crowds. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle, why not check out some of these alternative destinations, which are just as beautiful?
The lesser-known stars of Europe
The super-famous places are obviously popular for a reason, but some gems often overlooked. Here are some of our favourites.
1. Marken, the Netherlands
Famous for its quirky wooden houses, white drawbridges and bustling sea port, the village of Marken is located on a beautiful peninsula in North-Holland in the Netherlands, with a population of under 2.000. Join a walking tour led by guides in traditional Dutch clothes, sample the local grain wine, or even pop into the old wooden shoe factory. The village is easily accessible via public transportation from Amsterdam.
2. Alcala del Jucar, Spain
Not far from Spain's eastern coast, approximately midway between Valencia and Murcia, the striking village of Alcala del Jucar perches on a steep hillside above the Jucar River. It is home to the Alcala del Jucar Castle (a mediaeval Arab fortress that has an unbelievable view of the countryside), the 15th-century Church of San Andreas, and the Cuevas del Diablo, a series of caves carved into the face of the cliff. Soak up some historical buildings with incredible architecture, breathtaking natural beauty, and the vibe of Spain, away from the crowds.
3. The Ore Mountains, Germany
Stetching for over 160 kilometres and considered one of the most stunning mountain ranges in either country, the Ore Mountains separate the historical regions of Bohemia in Czechia and Saxony in Germany. The highest peak is the Fichtelberg Mountain with an elevation of 1.250 metres. In the summer, people come to hike in the breathtaking scenery, while in winter it is a location for skiing, snowboarding and bobsledding.
4. Baleal, Portugal
A short hop, skip and jump away from Portugal's capital city of Lisbon, Baleal is a pretty island with a fascinating history that offers a chance to enjoy the country's culture, traditions, food and pastimes in a more secluded fashion. As well as promising beautiful sea coasts and pristine beaches, it's known to be a surfer's heaven with amazing weather year-round and great swells.
5. Bachalpsee, Switzerland
Just a short hike from First or Grindelwald takes you to Bachalpsee; an iconic Swiss lake and one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Known in Switzerland as the "blue jewel," it is surrounded by rolling green pastures, blankets of wildflowers and gorgeous views of the mountains. The glacial waters reflecting the sensational mountains look like something straight out of a painting and are something every nature lover must see.
6. Monemvasia, Greece
Known for its impressive mediaeval castles that were carved directly into the rock, Monemvasia is a small island located off the coast of Peloponnese in Greece. It was originally only accessible by boat to ward off enemies, but there is now a single pathway that connects the castle to the mainland. Wandering around this interesting town lets you travel back in time while taking in unforgettable views of the pristine sea.

Sun, sand and fish and chips are on the menu in Rye, a pretty town near the East Sussex coast. The town's varied history is preserved in sites like the Ypres Tower, St. Mary's Church, and Mermaid Street. Wander along the cobblestone pathways between half-timbered houses, and then relax and have a drink at a local pub or stop for a lunch of fresh seafood. Soak up the sunshine at Camber Sands, one of the best beaches in England, and watch seals pop their heads out of the waves. Rye is around an hour and half from London, and is accessible by train or bus.
8. Mdina, Malta
History and class ooze from every pore of Mdina, a former capital city in the northern region of Malta.

Carney sees silver lining after Brexit hit to UK economy
LONDON, Feb 14: For years, Bank of England boss Mark Carney warned of the economic risks of Britain leaving the European Union. Now that it has happened, he says there could be a silver lining in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plans to boost growth, reports Reuters. Speaking to Reuters a month before he ends his nearly seven-year term as BoE governor, Carney said Britain was moving to address its main economic problem - weak productivity. After a thumping election win in December that paved the way for Brexit on Jan. 31, Johnson gave the green light this week to a new high-speed railway line that, according to one estimate, is likely to cost more than 100 billion pounds ($130 billion). The prime minister has promised further help for regions where growth has fallen far behind London and other big cities. "In an environment where everything is getting a fresh look, it's fertile ground for taking a step back and making bigger changes than otherwise might have been made," Carney said when asked about potential upsides for the economy from Brexit. "It's early days but there are several initiatives - the budget will be telling - that suggest that some of these opportunities are being grasped," he said, seated at a table in his office that has been used by BoE governors for over 200 years, its leather top worn thin by use. Carney was speaking on Thursday, shortly before the surprise resignation of finance minister Sajid Javid. Now, the budget statement scheduled for March 11 will given by the new chancellor of the exchequer, Rishi Sunak. When asked later about the change in finance minister, the BoE declined to provide further comment. Carney burst onto Britain's financial scene from his native Canada in 2013, taking over the reins of monetary policy when the country was still struggling to throw off the hangover of the global financial crisis. Three years into his term, Britain voted in a referendum to leave the EU, despite warnings from Carney and most analysts that Britain's economy was likely to suffer as a result. Carney, who angered many supporters of Brexit with his comments, has not changed his mind about that, even if Johnson says leaving the EU will unleash Britain's potential. "It's absolutely clear in the data, whether both the survey data and the hard data, that it's had an impact, a notable impact on investment and of course that flows through to productivity," he said. The BoE has estimated that the Brexit process has reduced productivity - a key gauge of how much an economy can grow over the longer term - by 2 per cent. Still, Brexit could prove to be "a conceptual positive" for Britain as it finds its feet outside the EU, Carney said. "It is a major reordering of our relationship not just with the European Union but our trading relationships with the rest of the world and it is prompting a reassessment of economic policy, structural economic policy in the country," he said. Carney said there were signs of a quick upturn in confidence in Britain after Johnson's election win ended the uncertainty about whether Britain really would leave the EU on Jan. 31. "We are already seeing a rebound in confidence, business confidence and to some extent a firming of consumer confidence," he said. Carney said he would have been surprised if, when he swapped the Bank of Canada for the BoE in 2013, someone had told him the British economy, like much of the rest of the developed world, would still now be stuck in low growth gear. The BoE last month cut its forecasts for how quickly the economy can grow without generating too much inflation to just over 1 per cent. But Carney - who will become a United Nations envoy pushing companies to acknowledge their impacts on the climate - said he was optimistic that the rewards of digital technologies would eventually be shared beyond a small group of corporate titans. "I feel that there is an element of something that is fundamentally positive which is the advent of machine learning, big data, the reorganization of the economy that comes with really breakthrough technologies," he said. For now, Carney and other central bankers are watching closely for the impact of the new coronavirus which has led to shutdowns of companies and even entire cities in China. Banks in Britain had been stress-tested to withstand an economic meltdown far more severe than the virus' likely impact, and central banks might have to "look through" one or two quarters of data that reflected the outbreak, he said. But policymakers were ready to act if necessary. "We are watching it closely, as are other central banks and fiscal authorities, and if it necessitates some form of action, whether it's on the macro-prudential side or the policy side, we will take it," Carney said.

Sec. of State Rice expects cease-fire in "a day or so"
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, right, speaks with U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Mark Malloch Brown, left, at the United Nations on Friday at the United Nations in New York.
PUBLISHED: August 12, 2006 at 7:13 a.m. | UPDATED: May 8, 2016 at 2:16 a.m.
Jerusalem – Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Saturday that she hoped the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas would end in "a day or so."
In an interview with Israel Television, Rice said that U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan "is working with the parties to establish a timetable for the cease-fire, but I would hope that within no more than a day or so that there would be a cessation of the hostilities on the ground."
Rice also said she believes that the cease-fire deal enhances Israel's security.
The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution on Friday seeking a "full cessation" of violence between Israel and Hezbollah, offering the region its best chance yet for peace after a month of fighting that has killed nearly 900 people.
The resolution, adopted unanimously, authorizes 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers to help Lebanese troops take control of south Lebanon as Israeli forces that have occupied the area withdraw.


As the advisers to RJR Nabisco's board yesterday began to weigh the fairness and viability of a proposed $17 billion buyout bid for the company, other Wall Street professionals assessed what would be the largest and most complex transaction of its kind.
It is a transaction that will create huge risks for Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc., a principal sponsor of the deal.
Shearson Lehman said on Thursday that it was advising the management of RJR Nabsico, the food and tobacco giant, in considering the buyout. No formal proposal has yet been made, but one is expected within 10 days. Shearson would arrange financing and put up unusually large amounts of its own capital for the deal.
There are already indications that Shearson may have competitors. Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Company, Wall Street's premier buyout specialist, is intensively studying the possibility of making an offer of its own, Wall Street professionals said. Kohlberg, Kravis is working with Drexel Burnham Lambert and Merrill Lynch & Company in studying a possible deal, the sources said.
It is uncertain that they will come up with a counterbid. Kohlberg, Kravis is also looking into the possibility of a bid for Kraft Inc., the subject of an $11.5 billion offer from the Philip Morris Companies. It would be difficult for Kohlberg, Kravis to arrange two huge deals simultaneously.
RJR Nabisco's stock fell 50 cents yesterday, to $76.75, after soaring more than $20 on Thursday when the buyout proposal was announced.
People with knowledge of the proposal said that Shearson would have to arrange a short-term loan, known as a bridge loan, of $4 billion to $5 billion. That would be by far the largest such commitment made by a Wall Street firm. Much, but by no means all, of that capital would come from Shearson itself. In addition, Shearson could use a $1.7 billion fund it has raised for investing in the equity of companines going private.
The proposal puts a tremendous amount of Shearson capital at risk. But there is ample reward for success. Shearson would be likely to earn more than $250 million in fees besides any long-term profits from owning a substantial stake in the private RJR Nabisco.
Shearson is already working with commercial banks to arrange more than $7 billion in secured lending for the buyout, Wall Street sources said. Shearson has approached Citibank and the Bankers Trust Company to try to line up the huge loan through a syndicate of banks. A Bankers Trust official said the company would not comment. A Citibank spokeswoman did not return a telephone call seeking comment.
Any buyout of RJR Nabisco, the country's 19th-largest industrial company, would require a masterful job of timing. The deal would involve an enormous mechanism with thousands of participants, all of whose roles would have to be precisely choreographed.
Most, if not all, of RJR Nabisco's food lines are expected to be sold, leaving the core tobacco business. R.J. Reynolds, the tobacco company, acquired Nabisco only three years ago in a highly profitable deal for investment bankers.
Prearranged sales of assets are not a new phenomenon. One of the more notable recent instances occurred in the Campeau Corporation's $6.75 billion acquisition of Federated Department Stores. Campeau found buyers and negotiated prices for a half-dozen of Federated's store groups even before it had won the competition for the company.
Such preselling is essential to gain the confidence of lenders, Wall Street professionals said. And in the RJR Nabisco deal, there would have to be hundreds of lenders.
For its part, Shearson will have to find a syndicate of lenders to help it with the bridge loan. Such loans are also an increasingly common practice, but it has never been done on this scale. A bridge loan for the RJR Nabisco deal would also likely require more lenders than any previous transaction, adding to the difficult job of coordinating all the parties.
The bridge loan would be repaid from the proceeds of the sale of high-yield, low-grade ''junk bonds.'' The $5 billion or so in junk bonds would amount to the largest such offering ever made, another test of the financial system.
For Shearson, the rewards justify the risks, especially in light of the firm's recent poor performance. As with most Wall Street firms, Shearson's retail business has been severely depressed since last October's stock market crash.
More and more, the huge securities firm has to be supported by its investment banking activities. And, for a securities firm, there is no more lucrative investment banking deal than a leveraged buyout.

Johnny Byrne and the Yugoslav wars
Various sources are reporting the death of Johnny Byrne, who wrote much of the hit series All Creatures Great and Small (based on the pseudonymous reminiscences of Yorkshire vet "James Herriot", and starring among others a youthful Peter Davison) and also wrote three Doctor Who stories, The Keeper of Traken, Arc of Infinity and Warriors of the Deep (two of which also starred an only slightly less youthful Peter Davison).
Mercifully, few Who fans will be aware of Byrne's peculiar participation on Usenet newsgroups discussing the break-up of Yugoslavia in the mid-1990s. He was determined to demonstrate the evils of the 1941-45 Croatian regime, which were indeed manifest and horrible, but went too far in appearing to argue that the deeds of the Croats fifty years before excused or exonerated the activities of the Serbs in the more recent conflict. The archives are all there on Google; but they basically demonstrate that he was more successful when writing his own fiction than when trying to peddle other people's.

April Books 5) The Yiddish Policemen's Union
5) The Yiddish Policemen's Union, by Michael Chabon
Another of this year's Hugo nominees, and another good read. The setting is an alternate present where a large chunk of Alaska was colonised by Jewish refugees after the Second World War, and the Israelis lost in 1948 - there are other differences too, but those are the major ones. Now, sixty years on from those events, the Alaskan territory is within weeks of reverting to US control and its inhabitants face displacement again.
Chabon's viewpoint character is a memorably seedy and depressed detective, trying to solve a murder which appears to be linked to chess and a Messianic Jewish sect, and at the same time dealing with his own professional and family dilemmas. The tenuous society of Sitka is well depicted at all its levels. In places it's terrifically sad. I was a bit dubious about the portrayal of conspiratorial politics at the highest political level, but perhaps that was part of the point.
However, it's not going at the top of my Hugo list; I don't think it is sfnal enough. Apart from the ahistorical setting, there is no sfnal content (well, a couple of miracles are hinted at, but I'm not sure that counts). The genre of this novel is detective, not sf; the setting is not much more counterfactual than Agatha Christie's country houses, or Lindsey Davis' richly imagined and researched Rome, or Ellis Peters' medieval Shrewsbury (which also gets the very occasional miracle, but that doesn't make it fantasy).
Don't get me wrong: I liked the book enormously. The setting seemed to me a very thought-provoking response to the history of Jews, in America in particular, since 1940, far better than the other attempts I've read recently. I'll probably end up ranking it ahead of the other two nominees which I haven't yet read and of which I don't have huge expectations. But, while in a lot of ways it may be the best novel of the three I've read so far, it lacks the sensawunda that I got in spades from both Halting State and Brasyl, so loses my vote on that account.

Q: Prevent Unknown robot from crawling my website and save bandwidth I have a drupal operated small website. It is not commercial, ie: no income from it. The site is in shared host, so has limited bandwidth and resource.
This site encounters "Bandwidth exceed" problem every month because more than 60% of bandwidth is being used by bots and spiders. The maximum is gone to:
Unknown robot (identified by 'bot' followed by a space or one of the following characters _+:,.;/-)
Out of 10GB Bandwidth, 1 GB goes to googlebot (It's OK)
6 GB goes to Unknown robot (identified by 'bot' followed by a space or one of the following characters _+:,.;/-).
500MB goes to unknown bots identified as robot
Other 500 MB goes to bots identified as spider, crawl, empty user-agent etc.
So what remains? less than 2GB for the visitors.
How could I identify or block the bad bots? Please suggest me some way to prevent it.

"While the space is small, we know it will become a center of events for the community ranging from concerts to theatre performances, and even Christmas tree lightings," Price Hill Will Executive Director, Ken Smith, explained to UrbanCincy. "The project is a great example of what can happen when you involve residents to help improve their neighborhood."
Assisted by Jeff Raser at Glaserworks, who has otherwise been well-known throughout the city for his work on developing form-based codes, members of the East Price Hill community came up with the idea for establishing a public gathering place, and subsequently developing the final product which includes a small lawn, performance stage, paver-covered walkways, and a water feature honoring the five branches of the military.
"Projects that turn underutilized spaces into public gathering places through a process that engages the community is true placemaking," Oscar Bedolla, Director of the Cincinnati's Department of Community & Economic Development, said at the grand opening. "Price Hill Will and everyone involved in revitalizing East Price Hill's business district have a lot of momentum right now."
The project was made possible through an unfortunate situation of a fire bringing down a historic structure. Following that, Price Hill Will acquired the property and received $261,595 in CDBG grant funds, along some grant money from PNC Bank and $20,000 of its own money to make it all happen.
Following the grand opening ceremony, community leaders are not wasting any time programming and activating the space. A kickoff party will take place this Sunday at St. Lawrence Square from 4pm to 6:30pm. Event organizers say there will be live music, food and other activities to welcome the community to their new gathering space.
St. Lawrence Square is located in the heart of East Price Hill. It is easily accessible from numerous bus routes; and free bike parking is also readily available in the immediate surrounding.

Madisonville To Celebrate Completion of Historic Bank Building Renovation
Post author By Clare Healy
1 Comment on Madisonville To Celebrate Completion of Historic Bank Building Renovation
Madisonville neighborhood leaders believe that strategic investments over the past few years are finally starting to bear fruit, as is evidenced by the restoration of the historic Fifth Third Bank Building at the corner of Madison Road and Whetsel Avenue.
The $644,000 project was led by the Madisonville Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (MCURC), and includes a street-level restaurant space with two, two-bedroom apartments on the building's second floor. The hope is that the project will help stimulate other private reinvestment in the neighborhood.
Built in 1927, the building used to be a bank and still has the vault inside to prove it. Today the 2,800-square-foot street-level "white box" restaurant space is now being marketed to potential tenants. Those interested in the space are asked to contact Matt Strauss, Real Estate and Marketing Manager at MCURC, at 513-271-2495.

Community leaders will gather for a ribbon cutting ceremony next week to celebrate bringing the historic structure back to life.
"MCURC was asked by the community to save this signature building in the heart of the business district," said Sara Sheets, Executive Director of MCURC. "Our hope is to attract a unique restaurant tenant bringing newcomers to the neighborhood, while offering residents a chance to have a date night in their own neighborhood."
The Bank Building's future restaurant tenant will join a growing roster of new dining options nearby.
Lala's Blissful Bites, a bakery, opened down the street in January; plans for two coffee shops, Mad Llama Coffee by Lookout Joe and CooKoo's Coffee Shoppe, are in the works; and a commissary retail store from the owner of Mazunte Taqueria is coming soon.
Due to what community leaders attribute to decades of disinvestment and targeted demolition, the Bank Building is one of the few historic buildings still standing in the business district. Many of the surrounding properties are vacant lots, but that too may soon be changing.
Since 2008, the City of Cincinnati has been buying vacant parcels in the area in order to assemble a large site suitable for development. In 2014, the City issued an RFQ to developers on the 7.5 acres of property it had acquired to date, which comprises most of the four blocks that form the intersection of Madison and Whetsel.
City leaders say that the team selected to redevelop these properties will be formally announced in the coming weeks, but early indications point to the Ackermann Group as the leading candidate.
This is all coming at the same time as the $200 million development at Medpace's campus at Madison Road and Red Bank Expressway, a half-mile west of the neighborhood business district, which includes 250 apartments, 100,000 square feet of commercial space, 250,000 square feet of office space, and a 239-room Dolce Hotel, which is expected to be completed in 2018.
The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at the Bank Building at 5900 Madison Road at 11am on Thursday, April 28. The Ohio Community Development Finance Fund, Fifth Third Bank, the James A. Schroth Family Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, LISC of Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky, Duke Energy Urban Revitalization Initiative, and the City of Cincinnati provided funding for the project.

When it comes to equal representation in merchandise, the absence of Daisy Ridley's Rey in Star Wars toys is a last year is a notable example of how geeky merch oftentimes excludes female characters in favor of male ones. Our own Keisha spoke to the Star Wars Hasbro team about #WheresRey, and they explained that their efforts to avoid spoilers meant there was an unfortunate lack of female representation in their toys–something that they're now aware of and hope to amend in the future.
Considering that Rey merchandise sold well and the abundance of Rogue One's Jyn merchandise, it seems like things are gradually getting better, though Jessica broke down that it's important to point out we should have more representation not only because boys can play with girl figurines, but also because girls play with Star Wars toys as well. In an interview with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Ridley mentions she recently attended a meeting about merchandise and describes her reaction when #WheresRey began.
Can we just pause appreciate how supportive this team is with Abrams speaking up and Boyega writing what was no doubt a strongly worded letter? (Boyega, is indeed a "toy person" and you should watch this clip of him making a toy store stop on his birthday to make sure it has enough Finn figures.) Ridley, of course, is referencing the Star Wars Monopoly set that excluded Rey which Abrams called "preposterous and wrong." Hasbro eventually amended this and included her in the game.
Ridley recognizes the significance of her role and how much it'll influence young girls. It's moving to see her also get a bit teared up, which is also our go-to reaction when we see images of Ridley with mini-Reys. You can read the full interview over at Collider.
