BURLINGTON, Mass. and FRISCO, Texas, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. (NASDAQ: KDP) today reported strong and balanced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 and raised its guidance for net sales growth, which is now expected in the range of 7% to 8% for 2021. The Company also reaffirmed its guidance for Adjusted diluted EPS growth in the range of 13% to 15% for the year.

Commenting on the announcement, Chairman and CEO Bob Gamgort stated, "In the quarter, we continued to effectively manage through macro challenges to deliver strong and balanced results. We are now entering the final quarter of our three-year, post-merger period with excellent top-line momentum and are on track to deliver or exceed our original merger commitments. Our outlook for the business remains strong, as we look forward to our next chapter of transformation and growth."
Third Quarter Consolidated Results
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 increased 7.6% to $3.25 billion, compared to $3.02 billion in the year-ago period, driven by growth in each business segment, with Beverage Concentrates and Latin America Beverages posting double-digit growth. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 6.8% in the quarter, reflecting higher volume/mix of 3.2% and favorable net price realization of 3.6%. On a two-year basis, year-to-date constant currency net sales advanced 13.3% versus the first nine months of 2019.
KDP in-market performance in the Liquid Refreshment Beverages (LRB) category remained strong in the quarter, with retail dollar consumption2 advancing 6.8% across the Company's cold beverage retail base, reflecting strength in CSDs3, premium unflavored water, enhanced flavored water, coconut water, apple juice and apple sauce. This performance was driven by Dr Pepper, Sunkist, Canada Dry, A&W and Squirt CSDs, Evian, Bai, Vita Coco, Polar and Mott's apple juice and apple sauce. On a two-year stacked basis, KDP gained market share in nearly 75% of its cold beverage retail base and grew consumption of its cold beverage portfolio by 23%.
In coffee, retail consumption of single-serve pods manufactured by KDP in IRi tracked channels increased 4.3% and dollar market share remained strong, advancing to 83% in the quarter. Performance in the away-from-home business improved versus the year-ago shelter-in-place environment, although the increase in overall consumer mobility has not yet fully translated into a broad return to offices. On a two-year stacked basis, retail consumption of single-serve pods manufactured by KDP increased 16% in IRi tracked channels.
GAAP operating income increased 5.6% to $795 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $753 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the growth in net sales and the benefits of productivity and merger synergies. Partially offsetting these positive drivers were inflation in input costs, logistics and manufacturing, higher operating expenses associated with strong consumer demand, a significant increase in marketing investment and the unfavorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.
Adjusted operating income grew 6.5% to $931 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $874 million in the year-ago period, driven by a 50 basis point increase in adjusted gross margin in the quarter. Adjusted operating margin was 28.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 28.9% in the year-ago period, reflecting the impact of the significantly higher marketing investment in the third quarter of 2021 versus year-ago. On a two-year basis, year-to-date Adjusted operating income advanced 20.9% versus the first nine months of 2019. On a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income increased 5.7% in the third quarter.
GAAP net income grew 20% to $530 million in the third quarter of 2021, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $443 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the year-ago period. This performance was driven by the growth in operating income and a double-digit decline in interest expense, primarily reflecting the benefits of the strategic refinancing completed in the first quarter of 2021 and lower outstanding indebtedness. Also benefitting the comparison was the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability.
Adjusted net income advanced 13.3% to $631 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $557 million in the year-ago period, largely reflecting the Adjusted operating income growth and the significant decline in interest expense. Adjusted diluted EPS advanced 12.8% to $0.44 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $0.39 in the year-ago period. On a two-year basis, year-to-date Adjusted diluted EPS grew 32.2% versus the first nine months of 2019.
Free cash flow totaled $676 million in the third quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting the growth in earnings and ongoing effective working capital management. This continued strong free cash flow performance enabled KDP to reduce total financial obligations by $327 million in the third quarter of 2021 and end the period with $200 million of unrestricted cash on hand. In addition, the Company's management leverage ratio continued to decline, ending the third quarter of 2021 at 3.2x, compared to 3.8x in the year-ago period. Since the close of the merger in July 2018, the Company's management leverage ratio has declined by 2.8x.
Adjusted financial metrics used in this release are non-GAAP. See reconciliations of GAAP results to Adjusted results in the accompanying tables.

Third Quarter Segment Results
Coffee Systems
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 advanced 5.3% to $1.16 billion, compared to $1.10 billion in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 4.6%, reflecting higher volume/mix of 5.7% and lower net price realization of 1.1%.
The volume/mix increase of 5.7% in the quarter reflected pod volume growth of 6.3% and brewer volume growth of 2.2%, despite lapping growth of 34% in the year-ago quarter. The pod volume performance reflected continued strong growth in the at-home business and improving trends in the away-from-home business, although the return to offices continues to be slow and the away-from-home business remains well below pre-pandemic levels. The brewer volume growth largely reflected continued strong retail consumption, primarily driven by the Company's successful brewer innovation program, despite the comparison to the very strong brewer shipments in the year-ago period.
GAAP operating income increased 4.4% to $334 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $320 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the strong net sales growth, continued productivity and merger synergies and the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Partially offsetting these positive drivers were inflation in input costs, logistics and manufacturing and higher marketing investment in the quarter.
Adjusted operating income increased 1.1% to $377 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $373 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income advanced 0.5%. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2021 was 32.6%, compared to 34.0% in the year-ago period, largely due to the impacts of inflation and increased marketing investment.
Packaged Beverages
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 increased 6.9% to $1.55 billion, compared to $1.45 billion in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 6.8%, reflecting favorable volume/mix of 1.5% and higher net price realization of 5.3%. Leading the strong net sales performance were CSDs, particularly Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, Sunkist, A&W, 7UP, and Squirt, as well as growth in Polar and Mott's, partially offset by a decline in Snapple related to recent supply chain challenges and softness in Hawaiian Punch.
GAAP operating income increased 10.8% to $288 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $260 million in the year-ago period, largely reflecting the benefits of the strong net sales growth, continued productivity and merger synergies and the favorable year-over-year impact of items affecting comparability. Partially offsetting these growth drivers were inflation in input costs, logistics and manufacturing, increased operating expenses to meet continued strong consumer demand, higher marketing investment and an increase in other operating expenses.
Adjusted operating income advanced 2.6% to $312 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $304 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income increased 2.3%. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2021 was 20.2%, compared to 21.0% in the year-ago period.
Beverage Concentrates
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 increased 11.4% to $392 million, compared to $352 million in the year-ago period. On a constant currency basis, net sales advanced 10.8%, reflecting favorable net price realization of 11.4% and lower volume/mix of 0.6%. The volume/mix performance reflected lower concentrate shipments in the quarter, largely offset by improving trends versus year-ago in the fountain foodservice business, driven by increased consumer mobility in the restaurant and hospitality channels.
Total shipment volume versus year-ago decreased 0.6% in the quarter, as a decline in Canada Dry was partially offset by higher shipment volume of Dr Pepper. Bottler case sales volume increased 1.6% in the quarter compared to the year-ago period.
GAAP operating income increased 9.2% to $286 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $262 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the benefit of the higher net sales, partially offset by significantly higher marketing investment in the quarter.
Adjusted operating income increased 9.1% to $289 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $265 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income advanced 8.7%. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income was 73.7% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 75.3% in the year-ago period, due to the significant increase in marketing.
Latin America Beverages
Net sales for the third quarter of 2021 increased 25.8% to $156 million, compared to $124 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, net sales increased 14.5%. This performance was driven by strong volume/mix growth of 10.5%, reflecting the benefits of significantly higher marketing investment and favorable net price realization of 4.0%. Leading the strong net sales performance in the quarter were Peñafiel and Clamato.
GAAP operating income increased 48% to $37 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $25 million in the year-ago period, reflecting the strong growth in constant currency net sales, continued productivity and favorable foreign currency translation and transaction impacts. This performance was partially offset by inflation in input costs and logistics, significantly higher marketing investment and increased operating expenses associated with strong consumer demand.
Adjusted operating income increased 48% to $37 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $25 million in the year-ago period and, on a constant currency basis, Adjusted operating income increased 36%. On a percent of net sales basis, Adjusted operating income advanced 350 basis points to 23.7% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 20.2% in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting the strong growth in net sales and productivity.
Outlook for 2021
The Company raised its guidance for constant currency net sales growth to the range of 7% to 8%, from the previous range of 6% to 7%, and reaffirmed its outlook for Adjusted diluted EPS growth in the range of 13% to 15%. KDP continues to expect its management leverage ratio to be at or below 3.0x at year-end.

Certain statements contained herein are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as "outlook," "guidance," "anticipate," "expect," "believe," "could," "estimate," "feel," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "project," "should," "target," "will," "would," and similar words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. These statements are based on the current expectations of our management, are not predictions of actual performance, and actual results may differ materially.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the SEC. We are under no obligation to update, modify or withdraw any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.
This release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow, which differ from results using U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as supplements to the GAAP reported measures, should not be considered replacements for, or superior to, the GAAP measures and may not be comparable to similarly named measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude certain charges, including one-time costs that are not expected to occur routinely in future periods. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures internally to focus management on performance excluding these special charges to gauge our business operating performance. Management believes this information is helpful to investors because it increases transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying performance of the Company and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Additionally, management believes that non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by analysts and investors in their evaluation of companies, and their continued inclusion provides consistency in financial reporting and enables analysts and investors to perform meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciliations to non-GAAP financial measures are set forth in the appendix to this release and included in the Company's filings with the SEC.
To the extent that the Company provides guidance, it does so only on a non-GAAP basis and does not provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures to GAAP due to the inability to predict the amount and timing of impacts outside of the Company's control on certain items, such as non-cash gains or losses resulting from mark-to-market adjustments of derivative instruments, among others.

RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN NON-GAAP INFORMATION
The company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures that reflect the way management evaluates the business may provide investors with additional information regarding the company's results, trends and ongoing performance on a comparable basis.
For the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability. The items affecting comparability are defined below.
Specifically, investors should consider the following with respect to our financial results:
Adjusted: Defined as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability.
Items affecting comparability: Defined as certain items that are excluded for comparison to prior year periods, adjusted for the tax impact as applicable. Tax impact is determined based upon an approximate rate for each item. For each period, management adjusts for (i) the unrealized mark-to-market impact of derivative instruments not designated as hedges in accordance with U.S. GAAP and do not have an offsetting risk reflected within the financial results; (ii) the amortization associated with definite-lived intangible assets; (iii) the amortization of the deferred financing costs associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) the amortization of the fair value adjustment of the senior unsecured notes obtained as a result of the DPS Merger; (v) stock compensation expense and the associated windfall tax benefit attributable to the matching awards made to employees who made an initial investment in KDP; (vi) non-cash changes in deferred tax liabilities related to goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of tax rate or apportionment changes; and (vii) other certain items that are excluded for comparison purposes to prior year periods.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (iv) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; (v) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and (vi) gains from insurance recoveries related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) transaction costs for significant business combinations (completed or abandoned) excluding the DPS Merger; (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (v) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt, (vi) incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and (vii) impairment recognized on our equity method investments with Bedford and LifeFuels.
Incremental costs to our operations related to risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic include incremental expenses incurred to either maintain the health and safety of our front-line employees or temporarily increase compensation to such employees to ensure essential operations continue during the pandemic. We believe removing these costs reflects how management views our business results on a consistent basis.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 and 2020, the supplemental financial data set forth below includes reconciliations of Adjusted income from operations, Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS to the applicable financial measure presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement for the same period.
Reconciliations for these items are provided in the tables below.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property, plant and equipment, proceeds from sales of property, plant and equipment, and certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods. For the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, there were no certain items excluded for comparison to prior year periods.
RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN CURRENCY NEUTRAL ADJUSTED FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following table sets forth our reconciliation of significant COVID-19-related expenses. However, employee compensation expense and employee protection costs, which impact our SG&A expenses and cost of sales, are included as the COVID-19 item affecting comparability and are excluded in our Adjusted financial measures. In addition, reported amounts under U.S. GAAP also include additional costs, not included as the COVID-19 item affecting comparability, as presented in tables below.
Items Affecting Comparability(1)
Employee Compensation Expense(2)
Employee Protection Costs(3)
Allowances for Expected Credit Losses(4)
Inventory Write-Downs(5)
Employee compensation expense and employee protection costs are both included as the COVID-19 items affecting comparability in the reconciliation of our Adjusted Non-GAAP financial measures.
In 2021, reflected pay for temporary employees, including the associated taxes, as well as incremental benefits provided to frontline workers such as extended sick leave, in order to maintain essential operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, primarily reflected temporary incremental frontline incentive pay and benefits, as well as pay for temporary employees, including the associated taxes. Impacts both cost of sales and SG&A expenses.
Included costs associated with personal protective equipment, temperature scans, cleaning and other sanitization services. Impacts both cost of sales and SG&A expenses.
In 2020, allowances reflected the expected impact of the economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19, leveraging estimates of credit worthiness, default and recovery rates for certain of our customers. In 2021, reversals of those allowances reflect improving economic conditions. Impacts SG&A expenses.
Impacts cost of sales.
RECONCILIATION OF CERTAIN ADJUSTED FINANCIAL RESULTS
For the purposes of additional analysis, we have also included certain non-GAAP financial measures for the first nine months of 2019.
For the first nine months of 2019, we define our Adjusted non-GAAP financial measures as certain financial statement captions and metrics adjusted for certain items affecting comparability. The items affecting comparability are defined below.
For the first nine months of 2019, the other certain items excluded for comparison purposes include (i) restructuring and integration expenses related to significant business combinations; (ii) productivity expenses; (iii) transaction costs not associated with the DPS Merger; (iv) costs related to significant non-routine legal matters; (v) the impact of the step-up of acquired inventory not associated with the DPS Merger (vi) the loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the redemption of debt; and (vii) the loss related to the February 2019 organized malware attack on our business operation networks in the Coffee Systems segment.

               Contact Me

Hello, I'm Talal

                  I'm an engineer who's always interested in the inner workings of a piece of equipment. I love to troubleshoot, improve, and create designs to develop and integrate the latest technologies with increased performance or functionality. I continually look to improve my technical knowledge, which drove me to pursue software and web development as a means of approaching design from a new perspective and diving into a deep pool of ever expanding technologies.

                  I thrive in a team environment by leading by example through hard work and patience. I demonstrated project management skills as a mechanical project engineer, quality engineer, and most recently as team-lead on a mobile application project. I bring an engineering mindset and project management expertise to my future endeavors. I have experience solving complex problems by collecting information and measuring performance characteristics, analyzing data, implementing corrective/preventitive actions and ensuring the problem is solved.

                  I like to travel when I can as visiting new places and meeting new people really expands your viewpoint.  I also enjoy jogging (after I'm done), skiing (mostly falling) and spicy food.  I'm also an avid hockey fan who loves to watch and play 'Go Sharks'!

Enderton Strength » What a ride!!
I tell you what, I am exhausted haha! Well, not really. I feel refreshed, but, I am exhausted. Does that make sense? I am refreshed because I am in a new city ready to tackle another big challenge. Yet exhausted because I feel I have burnt most of my body's fuel up to get to this point over the last 2 months. The traveling has beaten me up!
Friday I spent all day packing my stuff into my car. At about 6pm I took off for Grand Island, Nebraska. I got into the hotel pretty late (1am or so). Then, caught a few hours of sleep and got ready for the seminar I was putting on at Crossfit Heartland. The seminar was awesome too! I will have that video posted very shortly 🙂 Then, instantly drove approximately 5-6 hours down to Ulysses, Kansas to see my sister and the rest of the family! I stayed over night, woke up, went to church, and basically got out of town for another 4-5 hour drive to Colorado Springs!
Anyway, that's the update. I arrived safely in Colorado Springs!
PS – Some big developments are taking place on the business side of things…Stay tuned!
Whoa! Insane gains once again; great progress. And the move.... to the OTC?! I've been a little lax keeping up with stuff. Now out of PT getting back into light lifting so hopefully things will be back to normal shortly. Good luck at the Arnold (I assume you're going?).

Segment To Mount A Go-To-Market Offensive With $64 Million Round
by James Hercher // Thursday, July 13th, 2017 – 9:13 am
The mobile data platform Segment on Thursday announced a $64 million Series C round led by the Y Combinator Continuity Fund, an investment arm dedicated to the incubator's alumni, and GV, Google's venture capital group.
The investment brings Segment's overall funding to $109 million. Its previous investors supported this round as well.
The money will go to expanding teams in sales, marketing and product, said co-founder and CEO Peter Reinhardt. The company employs about 160 people, and expects to double that number in the next 18 months.
"The number of tools in the mar tech ecosystem is exploding past 10,000," he said. "A lot of the investor interest stems from seeing that and recognizing that if the ecosystem is doing that it's going to need a hub for those pieces to play nicely together."
Segment works with around 15,000 companies and developers, including 6,000 mobile apps. Only 4,000 of those users are paying customers.
DigitalOcean, a cloud infrastructure provider, used Segment to identify people with "compute-intensive workloads," meaning they were straining their own data-hosting capabilities, for the launch of a product geared to ad exchanges, game servers and batch processors, said marketing VP Tom Berger.
"Segment is starting to see a network effect from the range of services they offer," Berger said.
Segment is in a race to secure app and data integrations as a mobile solution for translating data across different sources becomes as ubiquitous as tag managers were on desktop, Reinhardt said.
Consider a company like Crashlytics, which has a similar model, but for crash reporting, he said.
"Most of the market is going to want one tool to be a standard they plug into every app," Reinhardt said, "and it's going to be the one that reaches that network inflection point where the aggregated benefits of the data they see make it a no-brainer."
Segment is competing with mobile-first rivals like mParticle, desktop tag managers like Tealium and Ensighten that offer mobile products and cloud marketing suites to be the universal data translation toolkit.
Ali Rowghani, a Y Combinator partner and former Twitter COO, joined the board with the round.
"Segment is the market leader in its category," Rowghani said. "With a substantial lead over the No. 2 player."
Segment will look to cement its position by putting sales and marketing boots on the ground, having relied primarily on inbound requests and prospecting developer community hubs like The Hacker News or Quora.
The startup is also restructuring its real-time data aggregation to allow developers to build applications on top of it, as Salesforce does with its AppExchange product, Reinhardt said.
And as the company adds more enterprise customers, which typically pay an annual rate for unlimited integrations, product teams must expand to meet the accelerating number of client requests.
Segment may have cleared nine digits in funding, Reinhardt said, "but we're small compared to the size of the ecosystem out there."

What To Do About Inflation?
By Peter Disch / February 3, 2022 May 24, 2022
Heading into 2022, it seems the hottest topic in finance is the resurgence of inflation. Anyone who has shopped in a grocery store or filled up their gas tank in the last 12 months has seen this coming and it may get worse before it gets better. As a result, it's likely that the equity market will continue forward with some volatility in both directions as investors digest the ever-changing market conditions.
It's been 30 years since the last time we had 6% or higher inflation for a prolonged period of time. In that context, let's consider a few data points that put the relatively short-term phenomenon of inflation into a bigger perspective.
To summarize, over the last 30 years, mainstream US equities have appreciated 1344%, income from those equities has increased 408%, and our cost of living has barely doubled.
Investors often debate what the best way to combat inflation is, and the truth is that it's very difficult in the short-run because there are so many unknowable factors getting priced into the market each day. However, just as unpredictable as the market is in the short-run, it is equally as predictable in the long-run. Therefore, it seems the best answer to managing inflation is to keep your financial plan updated to account for short-term market fluctuations, and own a diversified portfolio of equities for the long-run.

Publiziert am 4.4.2013 von SvSZGVSD
rl ran over rapidly a half-dozen names, sketching briefly the business they had b nike air max 1 rought. Then, one after the other, she told the answers she had made to them. This one had been given blanks, forms and http://sairmax1.org.uk/news/nike-air-max-1-mens-20130001-a-1288.htmlinstructions. That one had been told clearly that he was in the wrong, and must amend his ways. The other had been advised but tentatively, and informed that he must see the Supervisor personally. To each of these Thorne responded by a brief nod, puffing, meanwhile, on his pipe.
"All right?" she asked, when she had finished.
"All right but one," said he, removing h cheap air max 1 is pipe at last. "I don't think it will be advisable to let Francotti have what he wants."
"Pull the string, then!" cried the girl gaily.
Thorne turned to California John in discussion of the Francotti affair.
"What do you mean by 'pull the string'?" Bob took the occasion to inquire.
"I settle a lot of these little matters that aren't worth bothering Ashley w nike air max 1 grey ith," she explained, "but I tie a string to each of my decisions. I always make them 'subject to the Supervisor's approval.' Then if I do wrong, all I have to do is to write the man and tell him the Supervisor does not approve."
"I shouldn't think you'd like that," said Bob.
"Why, it sort of puts you in a hole, doesn't it? Lays all the blame on you."
She laughed in frank amusement.
"What of it?" she challenged.
"Any letters?" Thorne asked abruptly. "Morto air max 1 sale n brought mail this morning, didn't he?"
"Nothing wildly important–except that they're thinking of adopting a ranger uniform."
"A uniform!" snorted California John, rearing his old head.
"Oh, yes, I've heard of that," put in Thorne instantly. "It's to be a white pith helmet with a green silk scarf on it; red coat with gold lace, and white, English riding breeches with leather leggins. nike air max 1 premium Don't you think old John would look sweet in that?" he asked Bob.
But the old man refused to be drawn out.
"Supervisors same; but with a gold pompon on top the helmet," he observed. "What _is_ the dang thing, anyway, Amy?" he asked.
"Dark green whipcord, green buttons, gray hat, military cut."
"Not bad," said Thorne.
"About one fifty-mile ride and one fire would make that outfit look like a bunch of mildewed alfalfa. Blue jeans is about my nike air max 1 leopard sort of uniform," observed John.
"I don't believe we'd be supposed to wear it on range," suggested Thorne. "Only in town and official business." He turned to the girl again: "May have to go over Baldy to-morrow," said he, "so we'll run off those letters."
She arose and saluted, military fashion. The two disappeared in the tiny box-office, whence presently came the sound of Thorne's voice in dictation.
California John knocked the ashes from nike air max 1 sale his pipe.
"Get your apron on, sonny," said he.
He tested the water on the stove and slammed out a commodious dish-pan.
"Glasses first; then silver; and if you break anything, I'll bash in your fool head. There's going to be some style to this dishwashing. I used to slide 'em all in together and let her go. But that ain't the way here. She knows four aces and the jolly joker better than nike air max 1 ebay that. Glasses first."
They washed and wiped the dishes, and laid them carefully away.
"She's a little wonder," said California John, nodding at the office, "and there ain't none of the boys but helps all they can."
Thorne called the old man by name, and he disappeared into the office. A moment later the girl emerged, smoothing back her hair with both hands. She stepped immediately to the little kitchen.
"Thank you," said she. "That helps."
"It was old John," disclaimed Bob. "I'm ashamed to say I should never have thought of it."
The girl nodded http://sairmax1.org.uk/ carelessly.
"Where did you learn stenography?" asked Bob.
"Oh, I got that out of a ten-cent magazine too." She sat on a bench, looked up at the sky through the trees, and drew a deep breath.
"You're tired," said Bob.
"Not a bit," she denied. "But I don't often get a chance to just look up."
"You seem to do the gardening, the cooking, cheap nike air max 1 the housework, the clerical work–you don't do the laundry, too, do you?" demanded Bob ironically.
"You noticed those miserable khakis!" cried Amy with a gesture of dismay. "Ashley," she called, "change those khakis before you go out,"
"Yes, mama," came back a mock childish voice.
"What's your salary?" demanded Bob bluntly, nodding toward the office.
"What?" she asked, as though puzzled.
"Didn't you say you were the clerk?"
"Oh, I see. I just help Ashley out. He could _never_ get through the field work and the office work both."
"Doesn't the Service allow him a clerk?"
"Not yet; but it will in time."
"What is Mr. Thorne's salary?"
"Well, really—-"
"Oh, I beg pardon," cried Bob flushing; "I just air max 1 meant supervisors' salaries, of course. I wasn't prying, really. It's all a matter of public record, isn't it?"
"Of course." The girl checked herself. "Well, it's eighteen hundred–and something for expenses."
"Eighteen hundred!" cried Bob. "Do you mean to say that the _two_ of you give all your time for that! Why, we pay a good woods foreman pretty near that!"
"And that's all you do pay him," said the girl quietl nike air max 1 red y. "Money wage isn't the whole pay for any job that is worth doing."
"Don't understand," said Bob briefly.
"We belong to the Service," she stated with a little movement of pride. "Those tasks in life which give a high moneyed wage, generally give only that. Part of our compensation is that we belong to the Service; we are doing something for the whole people, not just for ourselves." She caught Bob's half-smile, more at her earnestness than at her sentiment, and took fire. "You needn't laugh!" she cried. "It's small now, but that's because it's the beginning, because we have the privilege of being the forerunners, the pioneers! The time will come when in this country there will be three great Services–the Army, the Navy, the Forest; and an officer in the one will be as much respected and looked up to as the others! Perhaps cheap nike air max 1 more! In the long times of peace, while they are occupied with their eternal Preparation, we shall be labouring at Accomplishment."
She broke off abruptly.
"If you don't want to get me started, don't be superior," she ended, half apologetic, half resentful.
"But I do want to get you started," said Bob.
"It's amusing, I don't doubt."
"Not quite that: it's interesting, and I am no longer bewildered at the eighteen hundred a year–that is," he quoted a popular song, "'if there are any more at home like you.'"
She looked at him humorously despairing.
"That's just like an outsider. There are plenty who feel as I do, but they don't say so. Look at old California John, at Ross Fletcher, at a half-dozen others under your very nose. Have you ever stopped to think why they have so long been loyal? I don't suppose you have, for I dou nike air max 1 black bt if they have. But you mark my words!"
"All right, Field Marshal–or is it 'General'?" said Bob.
She laughed.
"Just camp cook," she replied good-humouredly.
The sun was slanting low through the tall, straight trunks of the trees. Amy Thorne arose, gathered a hand


When will the IRS be ready for tax filers?
How the heck did it get to be January 2013, and into the second week of the month at that?
Oh yeah, we all were preoccupied by the Congressional fiscal cliff near debacle. OK. Some folks think the deal that was struck, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, is itself a fiasco. We shall see.

Michael Kitces notes that just in the nick of time, the IRS and Treasury issued rules updates and clarifications on the new Medicare taxes scheduled to begin in 2013. Thank goodness the highlights in IRS Issues Guidance For New 3.8% Medicare Tax On Net Investment Income are much less than the of the 100+ pages of new guidance! It's posted at Nerd's Eye View.

Lubna Kably says, "Indian companies do profit from sale of carbon credits. A recent tax tribunal decision which holds that profit on such sales are capital receipts and not taxable as cheered many - even as the Doha rounds have been ticklish and not brought much cheer.

The Business Enterprise Center (BEC) has received a contract extension with the City of Corvallis marketing the Airport Industrial Park and Benton-Corvallis Enterprise Zone, and general economic development services. The BEC will provide services through the end of December of this year and support the smooth transition to the newly-formed City of Corvallis's Economic Development Office. The contract employs one half-time staff and 2 part-time contractors.
Over the history of the contract, the BEC has succeeded in achieving the City of Corvallis' goal of recruiting two companies per year. The Enterprise Zone, which encompasses part of the Airport Industrial Park, enables qualifying companies to receive property tax abatements on new building and newly installed capital equipment for 3-5 years, in exchange for compensating benefits for the community. Since its inception, four locally-started businesses NuScale, NaturalPoint, T. Gerding Construction, and Perpetua Power, have benefited from Enterprise Zone property tax abatements; supporting growth and job creation.

Interior Department sells land off Massachusetts for wind energy development
The auction comes as the future of the Cape Wind project — which had been billed at the nation's first offshore wind farms — is in doubt
BOSTON (AP) — U.S. officials on Thursday auctioned off leases to more than 550 square miles of federal waters off the Massachusetts coast to two companies hoping to develop wind energy projects.
The two parcels were among four up for lease by the Interior Department. The two other parcels didn't receive bids.
The winning bids by Offshore MW LLC and RES America Inc. totaled $448,171. The auctioned parcels are in an area beginning about 12 miles south of Martha's Vineyard.
Officials said the total acreage of the two areas auctioned off nearly doubles the amount of acreage leased for wind energy through competitive sales.
The auction comes as the future of the Cape Wind project — which had been billed at the nation's first offshore wind farms — is in doubt.
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell hailed the auction, calling it another important step toward building an offshore wind energy infrastructure.
"Offshore wind along the Atlantic holds great potential to help power our nation with renewable energy while adding jobs to the economy," Jewell said in a statement.
The area leased could support about 2 GW of commercial wind generation, enough electricity to power over 700,000 homes if fully developed, according to an analysis prepared by the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
Awarding the leases is just the first step of a lengthy regulatory process.
Each lease will have a preliminary term of one year. During that time the company awarded the lease must submit a site assessment plan for approval.
If the assessment plan is approved, the companies have up to five years to submit a construction plan providing detailed information about the construction and operation of the wind energy project on the lease.
Approval of a construction plan will trigger an environmental review.
If a company clears all the hurdles, they will be granted an operations term of 25 years.
Environmental groups hailed the decision.
"We have vast untapped potential to power the Eastern Seaboard with pollution-free wind energy, and now the first wind turbines are closer than ever to spinning off our nation's shores," Ben Hellerstein, campaign organizer for Environment Massachusetts, said in a statement.
U.S. Sen. Edward Markey also praised the auction, noting that the winds that battered the Massachusetts coast during this week's blizzard hold untapped energy potential.
"These same harsh winds that we've endured for centuries can be turned into clean power for our homes, creating jobs even as it cuts the carbon pollution that is worsening climate change and supercharging storms," Markey said in a statement.

Remembering Jeremiah Barnes (1954)
In 1954, Zadie Jones wrote a two-part biographical sketch of Jeremiah Barnes for The Alabama Citizen, a black newspaper published in Tuscaloosa. This biographical sketch demonstrates the role of oral tradition and the African American press in the preservation of African American collective memory of slavery, emancipation, and Reconstruction into the twentieth century. Amid the Tuscaloosa community's struggle for civil and political rights, Barnes's biography was a tool to encourage footsoldiers' persistence.
Self-Taught Rebel and Educational Pioneer, Part 1
Jeremiah Barnes was born not "before the stars fell" as our forefathers computed time; but, eleven years after, February 28, 1844.
His mother was a slave on a plantation along the Black Warrior River, eight miles west of Tuscaloosa. His father was the white over-seer.
His early life was spent as a house boy in the home of his owner, Judge Washington Moody in Tuscaloosa. There he learned to read and write through his association with the white children of the family. This he kept secretly, knowing that education was forbidden to slaves.
One day while incautiously scribbling on the side of the house, he disclosed his secret, causing his removal to the plantation. There never-the-less, he continued to pursue secretly his studies.
He steadily improved his knowledge and share readily his stolen secrets with his mates. Each Sunday he would gather them under a certain tree, and there would set about imparting his newly acquired reasoning. This was where he taught his first class as a school.
After the white children started to attend school in the city, he was returned to his house work.
At the age of twelve, it was his duty to go down town and clean the judge's office. During his tour of duties there, he would study the judge's books and papers; keeping the "Blue Back Speller" as his companion, he continued to improve his learning.
The judge saw to it that "Jre" learned to work with his hands and was an unduly hard task master. He would take is only son, Frank who was about the age of Jeremiah to the plantation with "Jere" and him.
There he would teach them both to plow. With one eye on the boys and the other on his watch, he would allot the time for them to plow to one end of the row and back.

Jeremiah learned to lay brick and helped to construct the old Moody home. He often laughed about the crookedness of the chimneys. He said, "You could [word missing] and inside their base look up and you couldn't see out of the top. Yet, not one of them ever smoked."
After he was freed, he went to Selma and was able to get a job laying brick on the Albert Hotel, (still standing) the job lasted three months.
HIS MARRIAGE
He was married June 23, 1865 to Miss Demma Cobbs (ex-slave of Christopher Pegues) wo was one of the founders of Selma. Thus was united through the servants two of the South's most outstanding families. Judge Washington Moody's and Christopher Pegues' both honorably mentioned in Alabama History.

Barnes as a African American Leader and Institutional Builder, Part 2
The record will show that Jeremiah Barnes was elected by the citizens of Tuscaloosa as alderman. A position held in dignity second only to the major. No other Negro before or since has ever been known to hold the position in the city of Tuscaloosa.
He taught school in 1876. He was a pioneer and one for the first to introduce the public school system.
Later he appeared before the Board of Education, took examination for Teacher's Life Certificate, and was successful in obtaining same.
HIS ASSOCIATION WITH BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Jeremiah Barnes and Booker T. Washington had many things in common. Both were ex-slaves, educators and both were earnest workers in the cause of general uplift of their people.
The children of the Barnes family and many others of this city attended Tuskegee Institute.
Benjamin Harrison – Class of 1891
Henry Alexander – '93
Jeremiah Thomas – '97
Jesse Ryland – 1902
Due to the fact that Tuskegee was being supported by charity, these boys would go north from time to time singing with the quartet to help raise funds to aid in the support of the institution.
The entire family were ardent lovers of music and were Nationally famous as the Barnes Family of Tuscaloosa.
Jeremiah Barnes taught his children to be respectful to the law and lead clean lives. There was never on record anything to contradict this fact.
Rev. Bedford (white) one of Booker T. Washington's field agents, when in Tuscaloosa; always stopped at the homes of Jeremiah Barnes.
When Booker T. Washington visited Tuscaloosa, the citizens extended him the same cordial welcome and recognition as they would any white man of distinction, under similar circumstances. Tuscaloosa has long been noted for its wonderful hospitality.
JEREMIAH BARNES AS A MASON
He was Right Worshipful Chairman Committee Correspondent of the Grand Lodge A. F. &A. M. of Alabama 1897-1911, Grand Junior Warden, 1883, Grand Lecturer from 1888-1895, Deputy Grand Master, 1895-1896. He was Senior Warden from 1886.
For twenty years chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence. He was a member of City Lodge No. 2785 G. U. O. of O.F.
Twice he was elected Deputy Grand Master.
As an accomplished organizer and worker for the Lodge, he received a commission as colonel of the 9th District under General James W. Jones April 11, 1908.
He occupied a front rank, not only among the brotherens [sic] of Alabama, but throughout the Masonic world.
BARNES AND THE CHURCH
Last but not least, Jeremiah Barnes was a valiant solder of the cross; a member of the AME Zion Church in 1866. He was a Sunday School Teacher and Superintendent, chorister and organist, for forty years. He taught himself to read music as well as play the organ.
To the world he supplied an example for the old and young alike to follow. It is just another illustration that life with people is as with vegetation. The earth gives generous measures to proper cultivation.

If you've just moved into your new home, chances are you are dying to get all your friends and family around to show off your new home. But without the landscaping finished, entertaining in outdoor spaces is less than ideal. We've put together a list of handy tips to help you get your landscaping done quickly and on the smallest of budgets!
Your friends and family will be as excited as you are about your new home (well, nearly!) so they're likely to be keen to give you a hand.
Throw a barbie and gather a group of mates together for a weekend working bee. Your landscaping will be done in no time, and your friends will appreciate contributing to a space that they'll enjoy with you for many years to come. As they say, many hands make light work!
If you can withstand the wait to have established plants in your garden, cuttings are a free, easy way to get beautiful plants for your yard. Ask neighbours and friends for any plant cuttings that they are willing to supply you, and in no time your garden will be stunning!
Established plants and landscaping materials can be pricey, so check out your local Buy/Sell/Swap pages for some great bargains.
Backyard renovators often give away or sell established trees, plants, rocks or pavers for bargain prices, so if you're not afraid to put in a bit of legwork you can save a lot of money on these items.
It may require their removal and transportation, but it will save you a bunch of money that you can spend on other things.
If you require materials in bulk, rather than buying many bags from the hardware store, research garden suppliers who deliver items such as soil and bark chips by the truckload.
There are plenty of easy DIYs you can do to create accessories for your new backyard.
Besser blocks are an amazing, versatile product that can be turned into just about anything!
From furniture to fire pits to planters, these nifty concrete blocks are only as limited as your imagination.
You can pick up Besser blocks for as little as $5 each from your local hardware store, or look in the Buy/Sell/Swap pages for freebies!
Similarly, wooden pallets are a great resource for using in furniture, pathways, garden edging or as planters.
You can pick these up for free on Gumtree or other trading pages.
If your budget is really tight, then grass seeds are the way to go for your new lawn, but this will take some time and effort to get it thick and healthy. You can expect to wait at least 6 weeks for it to resemble turf. The faster & easier, but more costly option is to go with instant turf. You can pick up turf from between $6 and $15 a square metre, and you can even buy it online and get it delivered to your door!
The addition of lighting can add a beautiful atmosphere to your yard. Using solar lights or candles will save you money on electricity, and remove the need to install expensive wiring. And there are plenty of crafty DIY projects you can do to create amazing and unique lights for your garden!


A major trend in the workforce today is the growing gig economy. What is the gig economy? According to Google Dictionary, it's "a labor market characterized by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work as opposed to permanent jobs."Basically, it's a simple, streamlined solution to consistent hiring and staffing.
Utilizing flexible staff makes sense with today's job market. Business is booming and technology is growing at an exceptional rate. The need for on-demand talent and interchangeable skills is increasing every day and gig workers are a cost-effective way to keep up.

Silicon Valley - Season 3
DVD | HBO | 12 Apr 2017
3 For $30 Movies & More
A new season of the comedy that takes viewers inside Silicon Valley's high-tech gold rush: a land of big ideas and bigger egos. After last season's shocking ending, which found Pied Piper celebrating legal victory just as Richard (Thomas Middleditch) was ousted as CEO, Season 3 picks up where we left off, with Richard offered the diminished role of CTO and the rest of his team - Erlich (T.J. Miller), Jared (Zach Woods), Dinesh (Kumail Nanjiani) and Gilfoyle (Martin Starr) - facing the question of just how far their loyalty extends. With a new no-nonsense CEO hell-bent on transforming everything from Pied Piper's offices to its business agenda, the guys must find a way to triumph in the war of Art vs. Commerce, maneuvering the many competing interests along the way. Meanwhile, as Gavin Belson (Matt Ross) works to rehabilitate Hooli's image following his blunders, Big Head (Josh Brener) finds himself in a new partnership, while at Raviga, Laurie (Suzanne Cryer) holds her cards close to the vest, as Monica (Amanda Crew) tries to look out for Pied Piper's best interests. With its patented brand of silly and satirical humor, this season of Silicon Valley continues to probe the ripe-for-comedy world of tech, as our heroes grow bolder, if not always wiser.

It's certainly not something we want to think about every day, nor should we be required to. As far as we're concerned, we should only need to get car insurance quotes once in our lives, settle on the rock bottom price, then forget about it hoping like heck we never actually have to use it. Am I right, people?! Come on, who's with me?!!!
OK, I see that most of you out there in cyberspace are raising your hands. This is perfectly understandable. The prospect of getting car insurance quotes is as enthralling a notion as installing ceramic tile on your ceiling. In actuality, though, you may be surprised to discover some really worthwhile reasons to get a second opinion on your current policy, some of which could even result in getting you more coverage for less money. Yes, I am absolutely serious! More for less happens all the time in the insurance world, but only if you are willing to go out and get it.
Keep track of any violation and accident dates. Insurance companies only surcharge for a set number of years following an infraction, and most minor violations will drop from your driving record after three. Getting car insurance quotes after the violations disappear will make a huge difference in the premium you pay.
Make sure all your vehicles are on the same policy. You may be missing out on substantial discounts if your spouse has a vehicle on a separate policy. Get a car insurance quote with your vehicles together and watch the savings roll in.
If your marital status has changed. Insurance companies usually deem you a tad more trustworthy after you tie the knot. Congratulations and best wishes to you.
Strongly encourage your teen driver to make good grades. Teens can be expensive to insure; however, if they maintain a grade point average of 3.0 or better, most companies will cut them a break.
Milestones in age. Reaching the age of 25 puts you in good favor with the insurance powers that be, so you can expect to see a rather large decrease in your auto insurance cost (which should really help ease the pain of your mortgage and student loan payments).
These are only a few examples of ways you could be saving on your auto insurance. The best way to see how much money you could be saving is to get an insurance quote.
So, why should you get auto insurance quotes if you already have insurance?
So, why should you get a car insurance quote if you don't have insurance?
Because it is the law and it just makes good sense.
What are you waiting for? Get a car insurance quote right now!

ECC women's volleyball team continues league dominance with wins over Pasadena City, East Los Angeles College
By Logan Tahlier|October 12, 2019
El Camino College Warriors setter Caitlin Donatucci sets the ball for middle blocker Ginia Goods during the first set of their match against Mt. San Antonio College on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at home. The Warriors are still undefeated in conference play this year, following wins against Pasadena City and East Los Angeles College. Jaime Solis/The Union
Coming off 9 consecutive league titles, the El Camino College women's volleyball team continued its dominance this year, extending their win streak to seven games with a win over Pasadena City College on Wednesday, Oct. 9 and East Los Angeles College (ELAC) just two days later.
Since 2010, the ECC Warriors women's volleyball team have won or shared the league title with others teams, including Pasadena in 2012 and most recently Long Beach City College in 2018.
Warriors opposite Jocelyn Lacroix said the team knows how good a feeling it is to win a championship but this year, there's no room for sharing.
Against the Pasadena City College Lancers, Warriors outside hitter Mikayla Clark led the way with 17 kills as both teams played three close sets, with ECC ultimately winning 3-1.
"[We have to] work on the defensive side of the ball because we hit more efficiently than El Camino tonight," Lancer's volleyball coach Michael Terrill said. " I feel like we did what we needed to do and I think for us it came to the serve and pass game. They were in system more than we were ."
Clark continued to take control of the game with another 17 kill performance just two days later against ELAC in a 3-0 win.
"We just try to just stay steady and worry more on what is on our side with a next play mentality," Liz Hazell, third-year Warriors coach, said after ECC's win over the Lancers. "At the end they got a big run of points and we try to not give up more than two at a time and regain focus."
Twins Caitlin and Kelly Donatucci finished the night against Pasadena City College with a combined 41 assists followed by another 40 against ELAC.
"I think we need to continue to work hard in practice and fix the things we are doing wrong," Kelly Donatucci said. "Towards the end of the game we need work to work on executing but our digging and passing was really well."
Lacroix added that the team expects to get back into practice as soon as possible to fine tune any mistakes and prepare for their next game Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m. at Long Beach City College.
Who: El Camino College Warriors at Long Beach City College
When: Wednesday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m.

A recent research study found 51% of the population of Wales wasn't sure whether the dentist carried out a mouth cancer check-up during their last appointment.
The Head and Neck Cancer Foundation (HNCF) have founded a campaign 'Get Mouthy About Cancer' to tackle this issue.
The 60-second check can be conducted during a routine appointment and is already included in your dentist's fee.
The campaign aims to push for early detection of mouth cancers, as they are typically extremely aggressive, disfiguring and life-limiting.
Worryingly, only half of Wales' population attend the dentist every six months for a routine check-up.
When looking at a wider study of Britain, nearly ¾ of the population were unaware of the free cancer screening and whether they had had one.
The campaign aims to raise awareness of the service to ensure dentists are carrying out a full check.
HNCF have also created a video for you to check yourself. Not only will this highlight whether your dentist is searching for you, but it will also help you notice the symptoms yourself.

No. You haven't. If you did you wouldn't get this problem. You probably mean to say you included <pthread.h>. But that doesn't link with pthreads library.
Add pthread at the end of your compilation options. For example,
gcc -o out myfile.c -pthread

Living close to one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Europe inevitably means that a close watch is kept on the effects brought about by the ever changing winds and tides on our local beaches. This month our Photo Gallery features photographs taken by SKEALS member, Andrea Clubley and myself of the beach at Kilnsea when, after high tides and strong winds, countless millions of tons of sand has been washed from the beach leaving the clay cliffs exposed to the ravages of the sea. The first photograph in the Gallery shows the Sandy Beaches caravan site in 1964 when the massive concrete gun emplacements still stood on the cliff top and still some distance away from the edge. The following photographs show their present positions on the beach below.

Introducing the F.P. Journe Vagabondage III, with instantaneous jumping seconds
January 27, 2017 JaseNewsF.P. Journe, SIHH, Vagabondage
On the 19th of December 2016, F.P. Journe sent out its wishes for the 2016-2017 holiday season, and teased a new timepiece that was going to be revealed on January 16, 2017. The video showed three discs, two of which were in close proximity and jumped instantaneously, and many – us included – took this to mean that the brand was planning to unveil the hotly anticipated Vagabondage III. Sure enough, that's exactly what the brand revealed earlier this month.
Vagabondage III completes F.P. Journe's planned trifecta.
Before we discuss the new timepiece, lets take a look at the previous Vagabondage models. The original first appeared in 2004, and was so named because of its 'digital' hour system that appeared to wander around the dial (around the balance wheel that sat at the centre). Vagabondage I did not bear F.P. Journe's name anywhere on its dial, it had a flat 'tortue' case (basically a flat turtle shaped case), and was powered by a brass hand-wound movement.
In fact three piece unique (1/1) Vagabondage I models were produced (yellow-, white- and rose-gold) for the 30th anniversary of auction house Antiquorum. All three timepieces were auctioned in favor of the ICM Institute in Paris (each sold for three times the initial estimate), which works to fight against brain and spinal cord diseases.
Vagabondage I was an instant hit. The case was a departure from the traditional round cases that the brand typically uses.
Over the years F.P. Journe has continued to support this institute by directly donating proceeds from the sales of its watches. Most recently the independent watchmaker said that it would donate 30% of the profits from the sale of each of its boutique-only Centigraphe Souverain Anniversaire watches to the institute (read our story here).
Following the auction of the three piece unique Vagabondage I timepieces, Journe then released two limited editions between 2005 and 2006. The first was limited to 10-pieces and featured a platinum case with baguette diamonds, while the second platinum offering lacked baguette diamonds and was limited to 69-pieces. These retail editions also featured 18K rose-gold hand-wound movements, whereas the original three watches relied on brass hand-wound calibres.
Here's one of the retail Vagabondage I timepieces, which features a 18K rose-gold bas plates and bridges.
The Vagabondage II was unveiled a few years later, in 2009, and offered digital hours and minutes. There were three editions of this timepiece – 10-pieces in platinum with baguette diamonds, 69-pieces in platinum, and 68-pieces in rose-gold. These timepieces had a standard running seconds sub-dial at the six o'clock position, a power reserve indicator at the 12 o'clock position, and indicated hours and minutes via rotating discs at the centre of the dial.
Vagabondage II was powered by the calibre 1509, a hand-wound calibre produced from 18K rose-gold. It offered approximately 28-hours of power reserve, and relied on a remontoir d'égalité (basically a type of constant force mechanism) that helped manage power for the instantaneous jumping minutes and hours discs.
Vagabondage II in platinum (left) and 18K rose-gold (right).
With that, it's time to look at the newly released Vagabondage III, the last watch in the series. As before F.P. Journe's name isn't on the dial side of the timepiece, and you get the familiar tortue case (same size as Vagabondage II at 37.6mm in diameter) but that's where the similarities end. The new timepiece has a single large disc that displays hours, positioned near the 10/11 o'clock position, and at approximately six o'clock, there are two discs that meet to indicate seconds. There's also a power reserve indicator at the one o'clock position, and minutes are indicated by a traditional hand that sits at the centre of the dial.
Vagabondage III's claim to fame is its instantaneous jumping hours and second's discs (full sixty seconds), the latter is an impressive technical feat that we've not seen on any other timepiece. The instantaneous jumping seconds requires clever power management to ensure that the watch's chronometry isn't compromised, and to tackle this, F.P. Journe has once again turned to a patented remontoir d'égalité.
The white frames above each individual disc highlight the current indications. Note also the minute track on the edge of the dial.
Here this constant force mechanism stores and releases just the right amount of energy every second, to ensure the jumping seconds mechanism runs as it should, without compromising the timekeeping of the calibre. You can see Vagabondage III's jumping seconds in action on our Facebook page (click here), and besides the impressive technical work that has gone into this timepiece, it's just great to see so much consistent movement on the dial of a mechanical watch – we're sure this will never get old.
The watch is powered by a brand new movement, known as the Calibre 1514. Like its predecessors it's a manually wound movement, and F.P. Journe has fashioned its mainplate and bridges from 18K rose-gold. When fully wound the calibre offers 40-hours of power reserve, which is a significant improvement over its predecessors.
Calibre 1514 in Vagabondage III offers at least 40-hours of power reserve.
Vagabondage III will be offered in two editions, 69-pieces in platinum and 68-pieces in 18K rose-gold, and F.P. Journe says preference will be given to owners of the Vagabondage I and Vagabondage II. This makes perfect sense since there are many serious collectors who will be looking to complete their personal Vagabondage collections. The Vagabondage III in platinum is expected to cost US $56,000, while the rose-gold reference will cost $54,000.
