2006, R, 106 min. Directed by Len Wiseman. Starring Kate Beckinsale, Scott Speedman, Shane Brolly, Bill Nighy, Michael Sheen.
REVIEWED By Marc Savlov, Fri., Jan. 27, 2006
Len Wiseman and other genre directors of his ilk ought to take a tip from Morrissey – Paul Morrissey, of Blood For Dracula, that is – and note that horrific set-pieces gain less than nothing when overlaid with a splash of pummeling nü-metal. Morrissey, you'll recall, rendered Udo Kier's fey count positively sympathetic, thanks in large part to Claudio Gizzi's atmospheric strings, a not-inconsiderable task considering his star's penchant for playing to the bloody back row. The ongoing hostilities between the vampires and the werewolves in Underworld: Evolution, however, are pockmarked by the discordant likes of Puscifer and Slipknot, outfits whose cascading rains of sheet metal can do little but distract from the gothy kick of watching Britbabe Kate Beckinsale pirouette the length of the screen whilst clad in skintight vinyl couture. Perhaps the soundtrack is meant as a humorous counterpoint to the grimly sacrosanct storyline, but I doubt it; the Underworld movies are nothing if not Very Serious Indeed. Too serious, I think. Beckinsale, who again plays the death-dealing vampire warrior Selene, is a natural and sinuously athletic performer of action, and it's a pleasure to watch her lay waste to the bad guys, be they CGI or flesh and blood. Hers is an economically no-nonsense grace – the opposite, say, of Uma Thurman's bloody-knuckled brawling in the Kill Bills. Here, with vampire/werewolf halfbreed Michael (Speedman) by her side, she's never too battered to pass up a bit of the old bleed-and-tickle, despite having just been inhu-manhandled by ur-vampire Marcus (Tony Curran). At least she's got her priorities straight. Underworld: Evolution suffers from a severe case of overplotting, which dovetails with its stridently serious tone but renders much of the film's lengthy back story (you'll need to have seen the original, and recently, to muddle it out) a blur of political machinations between the warring clans. Marcus, sporting some nicely prehensile wings that look to be on loan from Go Nagai's Devilman, is seeking to free his imprisoned Lycan sibling William (Brian Steele) from an eternal imprisonment courtesy of the bad lads' dad, Corvinus (Sir Derek Jacobi, radiating gravitas), who long ago saw the error of his loins. He also wants Selene's head, if not mounted on a pike, then at the very least removed from the immediate location of her neck. And Marcus, sensibly, appears to be thirsting for little more than another round of hide-the-blutwurst with Selene. It all unfolds with the regularity of clockwork, sheathed in director of photography Simon Duggan's gunmetal blues and paced at roughly the speed of Jonathan Harker's Transylvanian carriage ride in Murnau's Nosferatu. Still, it's not quite quick enough to be anywhere near as gloomily engaging as the cast's original outing.

Sonowal is a post-active CM, not pro-active: Assam Cong
by Mukut Das July 17, 2018 10:02 pm November 11, 2021 8:50 pm

While coming down heavily on Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal over the coal scam in Barak Valley, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) on Tuesday termed Sonowal as a 'post-active CM' rather than a 'pro-active CM'.
Bringing allegations against Bharatiya Janata Party-led State Government, APCC general secretary and senior spokesperson Ramen Borthakur during a press conference at Rajiv Bhawan in Guwahati, said, "The State Government is involved in syndicate across the State whether it is in coal or other sectors."
Lashing out at the State Government over the coal scam, Borthakur said, "The betel nut syndicate in Golaghat, oil syndicate in Digboi Oil Terminus, coal scam in the Barak Valley and Margherita have proved that the Government is a liar. They may deny but they have to accept the bitter truth that syndicates during the BJP regime are going on in full swing across the State."
While criticising Assam Government's decision to hand over the coal scam case in the Barak Valley to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Borthakur said, "Sonowal has failed to fulfil the promises made before the 2016 Assembly elections. The much-hyped 'zero tolerance' policy against corruption of the BJP-led Government was just a tale."
It may be mentioned that the coal scam in the Barak Valley came to light immediately after the arrest of one Abdul Ahad Choudhury in the valley.
Besides, presenting an observation document of the National Green Tribunal in the Shridhar Vs Union of India case during the press conference, Borthakur alleged, "BJP's Margherita legislator Bhaskar Sarma is also involved in the coal scam in Margherita under Tinsukia district."
"The Tinsukia district administration and police have maintained silence in the matter," he said.
Talking on the adverse effect on the eco-system of Dehing-Patkai Wildlife Sanctuary due to uninterrupted coal mining in Margherita, Borthakur said, "The uninterrupted coal mining has affected the eco-system of the wildlife sanctuary. The sanctuary is now on the verge of extinction."
"The spontaneous coal mining in Margherita has also posed a serious threat to the human health in the sub-division," he said.
Further, the APCC spokesperson demanded a proper investigation into the coal scam case.

Japanese custom shop Whitehouse has taken a stock Honda Valkyrie and turned it into the Ryuuzin, or Dragon King. Bordering on what looks like a classier take on the Judge Dredd Lawmaster motorcycle (crossed with a locomotive?), Whitehouse has taken careful attention to detail on this 700 lbs (curb weight) behemoth. Large and sinister, Ryuuzin is probably not suitable for the crowded urban streets of Japan, but the Valkyrie platform should provide a comfy touring platform for the Dragon King (and its passenger) on the open road.
There is no room for a pillion though, which makes you wonder if a Dragon Queen will be in the works as well (please dear God kill me). Consisting of a very Japanese style that's not likely to catch on here in the United States (we will just have to suffice with our Honda Runes), you still have to appreciate the workmanship that went into this bike, and give points for not following the masses.

U.S. issues new rules for Idaho potato field quarantines
UPDATED: Mon., Jan. 4, 2021
Potatoes run down a conveyor belt at Brett Jensen Farms outside of Idaho Falls, Idaho, on Sept. 19, 2018. The U.S. Department of Agriculture late last week released the final rule that sets out criteria for killing off pale cyst nematodes and reopening quarantined fields to production.. (Associated Press)
By Keith Ridler Associated Press
BOISE, Idaho – U.S. officials have released a new plan involving methods to deal with a microscopic pest in southeastern Idaho that threatens the state's billion-dollar industry that supplies a third of the nation's potatoes.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture late last week released the final rule that takes effect at the end of January. It sets out yearslong criteria for killing off the pests and reopening quarantined fields to production.
The new rule follows a 2018 court decision in a lawsuit filed by potato farmers that found the U.S. government illegally quarantined some Idaho potato fields infested with the pale cyst nematode first discovered in 2006. Farmers with quarantined fields aren't allowed to sell potatoes grown in them.
Nematodes feed on potato roots and can reduce crop production by 80%. When the pests were first discovered, Canada, Mexico and Korea would not accept Idaho potatoes, and Japan banned all U.S. potatoes. The countries ultimately lifted their bans, the latest coming late in 2017 when Japan opened its market again.
U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge in his 2018 decision ruled that the federal government rolled out the quarantine and other restrictions without sufficient public input. But he left the quarantines in place. He said it was bad to violate laws on public input, but lifting the quarantines could lead to bans on Idaho potatoes and U.S. potatoes shipped overseas.
Specifically, Lodge's order made the rules temporary until U.S. officials redid the process. The final rule announced last week marks the end of a two-year process that included public comments. The new rules also allow for additional public comments on proposed future changes.
Bryan Searle participated in public comments leading up to the new rule, noting that his farming operation had been "negatively impacted from the first discovery." He expressed frustration with the quarantine process, writing that windstorms and animals could spread the nematode.
"The claim it is confined to a small area and can be eradicated I believe to be a false statement and will prove itself over time," he wrote in July.
Stephanie Mickelsen of Mickelsen Farms, which has also faced restrictions due to the nematodes, also commented along similar lines.
"Regarding PCN regulations, sound science has been ignored; instead, the emphasis has been to appease trading partners," she wrote in July.
Nematodes are turning out to be difficult to eradicate.
"To date, no infested fields have met the testing requirements to be fully deregulated," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its publication of the new rule. "At this stage in the eradication testing process, the fields remain regulated, with measures in place to mitigate the movement of soil off the field until or unless three crops of potatoes have been grown on the field and no viable nematodes are detected following harvest of each crop."
The Idaho Farm Bureau Federation, which represents what it describes as 80,000 member-families, didn't specifically comment on any of the rules. But Russ Hendricks, its director governmental affairs, wrote that the "Farm Bureau adamantly opposes any unjust and uncompensated taking of property."
Chanel Tewalt, spokeswoman for the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, said the agency had no comment about the recent U.S. Department of Agriculture action.
Idaho led the nation in 2019 by producing just over 13 billion pounds of potatoes, according to the Agriculture Department's National Agricultural Statistics Service. The agency said the state had about 308,000 acres in potato production in 2019, producing a crop valued at just over $1 billion.
In early 2020, the federal agency said that3,446 acres in Idaho were infested with pale cyst nematodes. The agency also said thatanother 3,704 acres are being regulated because they are near or associated with infected fields and could also contain nematodes.
All the fields are located in Bingham and Bonneville counties. Officials have notnever determined how the nematodes entered the state.

What began as a protest for a free press, democracy and freedom of speech, became a government crackdown and massacre in Tiananmen Square, Beijing.
The recent allowance of some private companies to operate within communist China raised hopes of many for a possibility of greater political openness. On April, 15 the death of Hu Yaobang, a pro-reform leader, made him a martyr for the cause of liberating China from communism. Students within China, many of whom had lived abroad and so had been exposed to higher standards of living and free democracy, organised a mass demonstration on the day of Hu's funeral. Several more demonstrations in the square took place over the next few weeks and media coverage of these inspired more student-led protests and hunger strikes across China's other major cities.
At first, the government had taken no direct action against the protesting citizens, but eventually declared martial law in Beijing at the end of May 1989. Protesters continued to gather and on June 4th, Chinese troops stormed the square, firing into the crowd. Official figures released by China state 200 civilians died, however thousands of people are actually thought to have died.
As tanks moved through the square on June 5th, a lone man carrying two shopping bags blocked their way. The photograph, taken by a western photographer, became iconic but Tank Man has never been identified.


More than 120 theorists, critics, and scholars have signed an open letter that calls for the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York to eject Warren B. Kanders from his position as vice chairman of the institution's board. Kanders is the owner and CEO of the private defense company Safariland, which has manufactured tear-gas canisters that were recently used against asylum seekers at the US–Mexico border.
The signatories of the letter, which was published by Verso Books this morning, stand in solidarity with the ninety-five Whitney staffers who wrote an internal letter to the museum's management in November 2018. After learning about Kanders's ties to the migrant crisis, the staff wrote, "We felt sick to our stomachs, we shed tears, we felt unsafe." The employees also asked the museum to develop and distribute a clear policy on trustee participation and to consider asking for Kanders's resignation. Since the letter was leaked to the public, a wave of protests and other actions have been carried out at the institution.
Activist group Decolonize This Place has organized several demonstrations in order to raise awareness about the controversy. It announced in February that it will hold "nine weeks of art and actions" and has planned events at the museum every Friday leading up to the opening of the Whitney Biennial on May 17. Two protests have already been held. Activists flooded the museum's blockbuster Andy Warhol exhibition, which was financially backed by Kanders, on March 22. For the second action, protesters sang songs of liberation, passed out flyers, unfurled banners, and continued to raise awareness about Kanders's affiliations. The third demonstration will take place tonight.
Kanders also responded to the uproar over his company by criticizing the "politicization of every aspect of public life, including commercial organizations and cultural institutions," and by distancing himself from the use of tear gas at the border wall by saying that he is not responsible for how his company's customers use its products.
Among the signatories are Ariella Azoulay, Claire Bishop, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, Nikki Columbus, Rosalyn Deutsche, Hal Foster, Jennifer Gonzalez, Robin D. G. Kelley, Lucy Lippard, Fred Moten, Tavia Nyong'o, Jasbir Puar, and Audra Simpson.

RAINER STEINHILBER – GENERAL MANAGER AT AMARI RAAYA MALDIVES
Well seasoned hotelier, Rainer Steinhilber has worked in the industry for the past 15 years. Before settling down in Maldives, Rainer held multiple positions in countries such as France, USA, North Africa and Germany.
In this interview, Rainer Steinhilber spoke with Travel Trade Maldives about his professional journey and his vision for his newest project, Amaari Raaya Maldives. Amari's second property in the Maldives, Amari Raaya Maldives in Raa Atoll is set to open in April 2023. Located northwest of the Maldivian capital of Male, the resort will consist of 200-villas. The resort will also feature, seven dining concepts, a Maai Spa, and a kids club. Amari Raaya Maldives will join Amari Havodda Maldives, further boosting the brand's presence in the Maldives.
Could you tell us a bit about your career thus far?
I arrived in the Maldives in 2007, so I have spent the last 15 years here, in various resort management roles. Before that, I worked in France, USA, North Africa and of course, my home country of Germany.
The Maldives is such a unique destination and I feel lucky every day to be able to work and live. It sounds such a cliché, but I literally have fallen in love with this beautiful country and its people, I met my wife Shafiyya here, so I truly consider The Maldives to be my home.
Tell us more about Amari Raaya and its various offerings. What has your pre-opening experience there been like?
Amari Raaya will become ONYX Hospitality Group's second property in the Maldives when it opens in Q2 this year. Our private island resort will occupy a secluded island in Raa Atoll, accessible by seaplane directly to the resort, or via domestic flight to nearby Ifuru Airport.
Positioned as a family-oriented resort, Amari Raaya Maldives will bear all the signature offerings that you would expect from a 5-star luxury resort. The 37 hectare island consists of 186 villas, including 60 Over Water Villas, and 40% of all villas featuring its own pool. Some of our Beach Villas will be connected and will offer 2-bedrooms for those families or groups of friends staying together. A total of seven food and beverage outlets are on offer, ranging from Asian-Fusion cuisine to a casual Italian restaurant, an all-day dining restaurant at the beach, a Village Café, pool bar, beach shack and mobile truck catering for all culinary tastes and dining styles.
Additionally special curated private dining will be available at unique locations around the resort; on the beach, and in the jungle, and a special star gazing Tree Top dining experience.
Other resort features include, a Maai Spa Wellness Oasis, a Kid's Club with a huge outdoor playground including a zip line, a Dive and Water Sports Center, a Main Pool and Kid's Pool, Gym and Yoga Deck as well as sports activities such as Football Court, Badminton Court, Paddle Tennis and a Mini Golf Course. We also invite our guests for activities and excursions by boat. Another island highlight will be our rooftop sunset lounge bar, where guests can kick back, enjoy magnificent sunsets accompanied by the chill tunes of our DJ and sundowner cocktails.
As this is not my first pre-opening experience, I do know what an incredible effort it takes to not only build a resort from scratch but to basically transform a sandy island into a small world that can inspire and wow our guests.
It's a tough and long journey with many obstacles along the way, but ultimately at the end, I know I will be very proud to have been part of such an extraordinary group of people, who have all contributed their skills, (some sweat) and hard physical work to achieve something quite extraordinary – a secluded paradise to make people happy, for guests and Team Members alike.
I am also grateful to our owners of Panchshil Realty and to the Corporate Management of ONYX Hospitality Group, for entrusting me with the leading role of opening this exciting resort and I am beyond excited to showcase this new Maldivian resort to the world soon.
In your opinion, how will Amari Raaya set itself apart from other similar luxury properties in the Maldives?
We have created a unique story concept behind Amari Raaya that sets an intriguing ambiance all around the island for our guests to explore.
The resort features design elements and experience touch points inspired by a fictitious castaway explorer named Sebastian, an artist and amateur sailor who was shipwrecked and lived alone on the island for eight years before allowing himself to be discovered. Amari Raaya Maldives will immerse travellers in a reinterpretation of the legacy he left behind through a series of structures, shelters and landmarks Sebastian creatively constructed from island-sourced raw materials and flotsam washed ashore over the years.
Highlights include an upturned Dhoni shipwreck hidden within a jungle, abandoned watchtowers, and in our Artists Zone, Sebastian's rustic home and huts will be showcasing Maldivian Arts & Crafts as well as featuring local artists and a discovery walkway within the mangroves area is to be explored with guided explanations of the Maldivian fauna and flora.
Our guests will find a beautiful natural island full of discoveries, not everything can be revealed, but let me just say this: On the Island you will get a glimpse into the world of a survivor and artist as you immerse yourself in the buildings and objects created by Seb during his life as a castaway.
What's your greatest personal achievement?
As an island GM, I see my achievements are only representative of the team I lead. Sharing the limelight is important to me, the biggest achievements can only be reached together. When you live on an island resort it's important to create an atmosphere of trust and respect and ultimately of happiness amongst your team. This feeling of harmony filters down to the service and experience that our guests receive. If you reach that level, then you are doing well, that for me is the biggest achievement and I look forward to creating it again here at Amari Raaya Maldives.
For me it is the biggest honour when my colleagues share their happiness with me as they trust me as their leader and as a colleague. I am proud to see that many of my former colleagues are achieving professional success along their career path and I am grateful to receive many messages from people who would like to be part of our team. It is quite satisfying to be able to make a positive impact on people's lives!
What do you foresee for the Maldivian hospitality industry in the future?
The Maldives government together with the Maldivian Hospitality Industry and all its stakeholders have shown exemplary actions on how to overcome the Covid-19 crisis over the past few years and the country is recognized as a safe destination. Additionally, over the last 10 years the segmentation of travellers from pure luxury and honeymooners has been complemented by family travellers and we have seen strong impact from new emerging markets to the destination such as India, Russia and the Middle East. Europe remains traditionally strong and China will make a comeback for sure this year. So all predictions are positive, it's fair to say that the Maldives Hospitality Industry will have a great future. We have seen last December a total of 1.6 Million visitors to the country for the year 2022, which is level to 2019 figures, and on top of that the Maldives has been crowned the "World's Leading Destination" for the last three consecutive years at The World Travel Awards – all these accolades and trends combined present a promising outlook for Maldivian hospitality.
Do you have any words of advice for anyone looking to join the industry?
I always tell every young Maldivian what an immense opportunity they have in joining the Hospitality Industry. Many of the well-known prestigious international hotel chains have a resort in this country and equally, established locally owned resort chains are now successfully expanding their resort portfolio – where else in the world do you have such an arsenal of options to join this industry as a young person? Yes, it's hard work at the beginning, often away from family, but you will find fantastic opportunities to build a career and to become successful if you are willing to learn and to grow with time! Here at Amari Raaya Maldives I am proud to say that the majority of my management colleagues are actually Maldivians, and we are right now in the hot phase of hiring young motivated talent, so come and take a chance to join us for a brighter future.

Nigeria Moves to Curtail Exorbitant Funeral Costs
Mohammed Tanko Momoh
Mon, 11 Nov 2019 16:22 GMT
It seems that not all weeping and wailing when people mourn their loved ones is due to sorrow at their loss. In parts of Nigeria, much of the weeping is caused by the thought of the funeral expenses.
Despite the economic downturn in Nigeria, a lot of people in the country see funerals as a means of showcasing affluence. Many funerals in parts of Nigeria have become extremely expensive and reviewing funeral expenses is now top of the agenda in many of the 36 states in the country.
Depending on the religion and culture, burial rites can last from a few hours or days to up to a week or more.
Elaborate funerals are common in largely Christian southern Nigeria but such ceremonies are non-existent in the Muslim north. Unlike in the south, the bereaved in the north, however rich, spend little or nothing on funerals.
In the south, there are special funeral rites for chieftaincy title holders and they are given lavish burials. Both in the south east and south west, death is seen as another means of showcasing wealth and families that hold inexpensive funeral ceremonies are viewed as poor and held in contempt.
In some places in the south, corpses are left in the morgues for years, accumulating high fees, primarily to give the bereaved time to find the money to hold the expensive funerals demanded by society.
Some rich, bereaved families now hire paid mourners to mourn on their behalf. Caskets are becoming very expensive and are usually gold plated to show off the affluence of the bereaved. Other costs include the wake and religious service; post-burial events, for example receptions with high-profile musicians; gifts for guests and sympathisers. Drink and food all add to the frighteningly high cost of funerals.
There are now special cemeteries for the rich in Lagos, Nigeria's former capital city, and now the commercial nerve centre.
A show of affluence is now obligatory, causing misery for less wealthy families when burying their dead. Many families in the south, especially the middle class and poor, undergo real financial misery when they lose their loved ones.
There was a celebrated case in the south east of Nigeria, when a wealthy man loaded the casket of his late mother into a hummer jeep and lowered the expensive SUV into the grave. He stationed security operatives to keep watch over the grave.
The burial of former Nigerian Vice President Alex Ekwueme on February 1st, 2018, is another example of an elaborately expensive funeral. He died in London at the age of 85 on November 19th, 2017.
The cost of the funeral put the family of Ogochukwu Ekwueme, the seventh son of the deceased, under intense pressure.
Professor Sam Smah, a philosopher at the National Open University of Nigeria (Noun), told 7Dnews that rich people in the south now set aside money for elaborate funeral ceremonies after their death.
Smah said that some people have started saving for their burial to save their children embarrassment. "This is not very good. We have to be simple and keep the family together and give children breathing space.''
"What is a burial? A person who is dead is dead and should be buried in a simple manner that doesn't cause the bereaved family additional expenditure and debt."
Industrialist Godwin Ezeemo, National Patron of Igboezue International, condemned the practice among the Igbo people in the east of hosting flamboyant funerals.
Ezeemo told 7Dnews that such funerals were anti-Igbo culture and that the trend has led to a lot of problems among the middle class who make up the majority of society.
"A lot of businesses have been crippled as a result of this trend as many people want the kind of funeral that pleases their guests.
"Often, the bereaved sell off their inheritance to have a suitable funeral for their loved ones and sometimes even borrow money to have special clothes made, buy expensive caskets and things like that."
"These practices are not part of our culture, they're adopted from other cultures, especially the Yoruba culture in the south west. It's not a helpful custom," he said.
Ezeemo urged Igbos to drop the current funeral practices along with others that are not only corroding their values but impeding socioeconomic development.
Chief Pius Okoye, the National President of the Igbos, gave assurances that the fight against the high cost of funerals would be won, telling 7Dnews that efforts were in progress to get the five states in the south east to enact laws that would achieve this.
Leaders in parts of Nigeria have started putting measures in place to create a level playing ground for funerals, making them affordable for all.
Some traditional rulers and churches in eastern Nigeria have ordered that corpses should not be kept in mortuaries for more than two weeks. They have also set guidelines on funerals and receptions.
The Chairperson of Tiv Area Traditional Council (TATC), in Nigeria's Benue, His Royal Majesty, Professor James Ayatse, has constituted a 15-member committee to look into the problem of expensive funerals ceremonies in Tiv land.
According to a statement on November 7th, 2019 by Freddie Adagbe, Media Assistant to Ayatse, the committee has three months to submit its report. The mandate of the committee is to find ways of reducing funeral costs.
Ayaste told the committee that funerals have been turned into expensive ceremonies alien to Tiv culture and that there was a need to address the problem as the trend is causing poverty.
"We are eradicating such borrowed cultures, values and traditions that are not beneficial to the growth and development of Tiv people,'' said.
The Otaru of Auchi, Aliru Monoh, in Edo state in southern Nigeria, has banned expensive Islamic burials in the mainly Christian state. Momoh said that his palace had been inundated with complaints of mounting funeral debts.
"The recent burial system in Auchi is anti-Islam. We have to restore Islamic values and burial methods. Any Muslim who dies must be buried the same day without any ceremonies," he said.
The Assembly in Anambra State, in southeastern Nigeria, enacted a law cutting funeral expenditure on April 9th, 2019. It was sponsored by Charles Ezeani, a lawmaker representing the Anaocha constituency.
"It is no longer acceptable for people to be enmeshed in debt because of burial.
"In some cases, people have to sell property at a cheap rate so they can bury their dead ones and after the burial, they actually don't have enough money for food," Ezeani said, adding that it was imperative to draw a line between "mourning" the dead and a "fiesta" and that expensive caskets should no longer be used.
The lawmaker said that funeral rites constitute between 60 and 70% per cent of the socio-cultural activities in the state and that the new law curtails the outrageous demands on the family of the deceased.
Prof Peter Ejiofor, former Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, told 7Dnews that expensive funerals must be stopped and regulated.
"It has become a curse for anyone to lose a loved one," he said.

Il nome Papiermark (dalla lingua tedesca: marco di carta) si applica alla valuta tedesca dal 1914 quando il collegamento tra il Marco e l'oro fu abbandonato, a causa dello scoppio della I guerra mondiale. In particolare, il nome fu usato per le banconote emesse durante il periodo dell'iperinflazione in Germania nel 1922 e specialmente nel 1923 (inflazione causata dalla decisione della Germania di pagare i debiti di guerra stampando banconote).

Le nazioni vincitrici della Grande guerra decisero di addebitare alla Germania i costi della guerra da loro sostenuti. Senza nessun riguardo alle riserve di oro che avrebbero dovuto garantire la valuta, la Germania continuò a stampare cartamoneta per i problemi che il debito generava, il che causò la rapidissima svalutazione della moneta.

Come reazione, la Francia impose nel 1923 alla Germania la cessione a suo vantaggio del bacino minerario della Ruhr, ricco di carbone. Esso, una volta estratto, fu destinato alla Francia per le sue necessità interne, senza incassare una cartamoneta che, di fatto, non aveva più alcun sensato valore.
Va però ricordato che la miseria che colpì pesantemente la Germania spianò la via alla serie di eventi che facilitarono il percorso al Nazismo, che sarà in grado di acquisire sempre maggiori consensi nelle seguenti e frequenti elezioni parlamentari che caratterizzarono l'instabile vita politica della repubblica di Weimar, vedendo poi il suo Führer, Adolf Hitler, assurgere al Cancellierato.

Durante la guerra, furono utilizzati per le monete i metalli più convenienti, come l'alluminio, lo zinco e il ferro, anche se i pezzi d'argento da 0,5 marchi continuarono ad essere emessi fino al 1919. Furono stampate sia monete che banconote di carta (conosciute come Kriegsgeld "soldi di guerra") in situazione d'emergenza.

Durante l'iperinflazione, furono emesse banconote di taglio elevato. Non furono quasi più coniate monete, tranne per alcune serie da 200 e 500 marchi d'alluminio. La Papiermark fu prodotto in enormi quantità: esistevano anche tagli da  marchi ( miliardi).

In seguito, l'inflazione in Germania fu fermata con riforme economiche, con l'introduzione di una nuova moneta, la Rentenmark, che era pari a  di vecchi marchi; la Rentenmark fu quasi subito sostituita dalla Reichsmark.

Iperinflazione e vita quotidiana in Germania alla fine del 1923
Nel 1923 in Germania gli stipendi venivano pagati di giorno in giorno per evitare che il loro valore venisse azzerato e che potesse annullare il valore della moneta.
I francobolli arrivarono a costare miliardi di Papiermark e la gente quando veniva pagata andava subito a comprare i beni di prima necessità, provocando la scarsità di beni. Inoltre le banconote venivano messe nelle stufe e nei camini per scaldare; i bambini, invece, per giocare costruivano aquiloni  con le banconote. Per acquistare un dollaro occorrevano  miliardi di Papiermark e per un uovo 500 milioni.

Jupiter is famous for its bands of clouds that we can see covering the planet, first spotted by Galileo 400 years ago. But scientists were not sure how far down these bands extended. Based on these latest results, it appears the bands cease at 3,000 kilometers in depth, giving rise to this more uniform shape. At its core, the pressure is about 100,000 times the pressure we see on Earth.
"Galileo saw those stripes in Jupiter's atmosphere many centuries ago, so it is definitely something that we've wanted to know for so long that we are all excited with the results," added Miguel.
Another major finding from the research is that Jupiter's gravitational field is not symmetrical from North to South. This was something that was unexpected for such a fluid planet that rotates quickly. It appears that this is caused by the varied wind and atmospheric flows on the planet.
The researchers also found that Jupiter's atmosphere contains about 1 percent of the planet's mass, equivalent to about three Earths, which is a huge amount. Earth's atmosphere, for comparison, makes up just one-millionth of our planet's total mass.
"The result is a surprise because this indicates that the atmosphere of Jupiter is massive and extends much deeper than we previously expected," Yohai Kaspi from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel, an author on one of the papers, told IFLScience.
These results were made possible thanks to Juno's unique suite of instruments and its close passes to the planet, just a few thousand kilometers at times, closer than any spacecraft before. Using the radio link between Juno and Earth, scientists were able to measure Juno's speed near Jupiter to exquisite detail, down to just 0.01 millimeters (0.0004 inches) per second in accuracy.
"This is one-hundredth of the speed of a snail!" Luciano Iess, also from Sapienza University and another author on one of the papers, told IFLScience.


I installed Arcgis 10.1 server in windows 2008 R2, the arcgis manager was working fine..
But after installing arcgis 101 server sp1, the arcgis manager is not working. I tried multiple times of repair options.
any help/idea will be helpful for me.
I agree with Richard. An error message can help. First, clear your browser cache (including cookies) and try Server Manager again.
I think that you are going to have to be more descriptive than saying "it is not working".
Does it display any error information?
After removing that upgrade.txt, it started to work..
actually, the error i got is, in IE localhost:6080/arcgis/manager shows as page cannot be displayed.
could you tell me, how this upgrade.txt file caused this issue ?
We have seen this issue occur during some SP1 upgrades. Normally the file should be deleted after the installation.
Something went while installing webadaptor 10.1 sp1, it asked me to reboot, after server10.1sp1 has gone.. it seems all server 10.1sp1 were rolled back.
so, installed again server 10.1sp1, this time no upgrade.txt, but the arcgis manager throws page cannot be displayed.
Again, uninstalled 10.1sp1, installed 10.1 server not sp1, but still arcgis manager throws page cannot be displayed.
i checked that javaw.exe is not running, when i compared with other machine where 10.1 is running fine.
We had the exact same issue where the server manager came up as "page cannot be displayed" after installing arcgis server 10.1 sp1.
Unlike for you this issue did not resolve even after deleting the upgrade.txt as suggested in this thread. What we finally ended up doing was copy the installer to the local drive on the server and running the installation as administrator.This worked for us. You may already be installing the software as admin but if you are not try it.
