United Stationers 1Q Sales Up 0.3%
Sales were $1.254 billion, up 0.3%. Sales in janitorial and breakroom supplies rose 2.3% to $332.7 million from $325.3 million. Industrial supply sales increased 1.4% to $131.5 million from $129.7 million.
United Stationers
Deerfield, IL - United Stationers announced that net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was $21.9 million, or $0.55 per share, compared with $13.9 million, or $0.34 per share, in 2013. The 2013 results included a charge of $0.22 per share related to workforce reductions and facility closures. Adjusted to exclude the charge, 2013 net income was $22.8 million(1), or $0.56(1) per share.
First Quarter Performance
Sales were $1.254 billion, up 0.3 percent. Sales in janitorial and breakroom supplies rose 2.3 percent to $332.7 million from $325.3 million. Industrial supply sales increased 1.4 percent to $131.5 million from $129.7 million. Traditional office products sales rose 1.6 percent to $325.2 million from $320.1 million in 2013. Technology sales declined 3.0 percent to $353.5 million from $364.4 million. Furniture sales decreased 3.8 percent to $74.8 million from $77.7 million in the prior year.
"Our team delivered solid overall performance despite difficult demand conditions, partly due to adverse weather early in the quarter. Sales accelerated as the quarter progressed. We continue to make strategic investments in our business and e-commerce capabilities, and we are positioned well with both manufacturers and resellers to execute our growth and diversification strategies," said Cody Phipps, United Stationers' president and chief executive officer.
First quarter gross profit was $187.1 million, down slightly from $188.5 million in 2013. Gross margin was 14.9 percent compared with 15.1 percent in the prior year. The decline was a result of a change in customer and product mix, partially offset by lower inventory-related items.
Operating expenses were $148.8 million, or 11.9 percent of sales, versus $163.3 million, or 13.1 percent of sales, in 2013. Adjusted for the charge, 2013 operating expenses were $148.9 million(1), or 11.9 percent of sales.
Operating income was $38.2 million, or 3.0 percent of sales, compared with $25.2 million, or 2.0 percent of sales, a year ago. Adjusted for the charge, 2013 operating income was $39.7 million(1), or 3.2 percent of sales.
Net interest expense was $3.4 million compared with $3.1 million in 2013. The increase primarily was due to the issuance of seven-year notes to fix the interest rate on a portion of the company's debt.
Cash Flow and Debt
Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter was $1.5 million, compared with a use of $13.4 million in 2013. The year-over-year improvement in operating cash flow was attributable primarily to a decrease in contributions to the pension plans. Capital expenditures in the first quarter were $6.4 million compared with $9.1 million in 2013.
The company has total committed funding sources of approximately $1.0 billion. As of March 31, 2014, the company had total debt outstanding of $562.5 million compared with $537.0 million as of March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, debt-to-total capitalization was 40.4 percent and 41.6 percent, respectively. In the first quarter of 2014, the company repurchased 0.3 million shares for $12.5 million and paid $5.5 million in dividends to shareholders.
"We recently completed the bid process at Office Depot. As a result of this process, we were named the second call office products supplier, which will result in the loss of some business. However, we were also named the primary supplier for janitorial and breakroom products, which will result in some new business and is consistent with our diversification strategy into growth categories. Many factors can influence the financial impact of this specific customer situation, but absent any mitigating actions we will take, we estimate a reduction in earnings per share in a range of $0.05 to $0.08 in the second half of 2014. Office Depot continues to be a valued customer, and we look forward to supporting both categories of business. We also remain well positioned with a robust sales pipeline and active discussions regarding new business with a range of strategic customers," Phipps commented.
"We remain committed to our long-term strategy of strengthening and extending our core businesses while diversifying into higher growth and higher margin channels and categories. We continue to see opportunities for growth in the janitorial and breakroom, industrial, and online markets and plan to capitalize on them," Phipps concluded.

Battery level effects on settings ?
Hello all, I'm wondering how battery level effects settings, such as motor power/timming, IR light calibrations, US readings....etc, etc.
At lower battery levels top speed for motors will be reduced.
At very low battery levels, it may not be high enough to actually write your progrms to the NXT flash memory. Everything will work fine and then seems to break when you download program. RobotC tries to check for this.
Sensors should function identically at all battery levels. Except longest detection range for Ultrasonic sensor may be reduced.

Cigars International Opens Super Store in Dallas, Texas
Written by BigO |
Cigars International recently launched a Super Store in the suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth, marking Cigars International's fourth retail store and the first outside of its home state of Pennsylvania.
The store was built in just six months and is located in a sprawling, mixed-use development called Grandscape in The Colony.
Craig Reynolds, president of Cigars International said, "Given that the handmade cigar category was built on the kinds of personal interactions that can only be had in-store, our new location gives cigar lovers a unique venue for experiencing the camaraderie of fellow smokers. Our stores are meant to complement the traditional cigar shop experience and enhance the cigar lover's appreciation for handmade cigars."
The Cigars International Super Store at the Colony encompasses more than 7,000 square feet including an outdoor smoking lounge. A 2,500 square foot, glass-enclosed humidor anchors the space, which also includes a bar, a Club Macanudo lounge, 32-foot-high ceilings and an impressive array of handmade cigars and accessories.
The design of the Super Store mimics that of a curing barn. The rectangular shape and shades on the sides of the building represent the characteristic look the Northeast's iconic tobacco sheds, and the truss work is a design element that was carried over from two of Cigars International's other stores.
The grand opening took place on Saturday, September 22. Cigars International estimates that more than 1,000 cigar enthusiasts visited the Dallas-area Super Store that day. While in-store, cigar lovers had the chance to purchase a limited edition Macanudo Inspirado cigar, available only at the Colony location. Made with aged tobaccos, the cigars are presented in individual coffin boxes, selling for $17.99 for the Toro Grande, and $19.99 for the Double Corona.

In this guest post, our savvy friends at INSIDR—a service that provides travelers with a digital guide to explore Paris like a local—share what a typical day of eating looks like for a Parisian. Spoiler alert: There's a lot of wine.
8am: A croissant a day keeps the doctor away!
Start your day with a croissant—you'll find one of the best in town at Au Caprice Gourmand. It makes delicious pastry using only top-quality ingredients, such as real farmhouse butter.
Parisians always pair croissant with black coffee. The Paris specialty-coffee scene has grown widely in recent years, with several local coffee-roast companies and coffee labs opening up. It's said that Paris could be the next coffee epicenter of Europe! If you are a true coffee lover, don't miss Fondation Café and Café Coutume, two great options.
Here on the weekend? Parisians gather around a giant brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. One of our favorites is the exquisite brunch at Brasserie Thoumieux, which gathers the finest French specialties: delicious cheeses from Cantin, amazing bread from Secco, Bordier's salted butter, and wonderful pastries from Gâteaux Thoumieux.
1pm: A real Parisian would never skip lunch!
Parisians love taking their lunch break in a typical French bistro, as you can find really good deals for lunch.
At L'Aller-Retour, the lunch menu offers a large piece of delicious red meat, French fries, vegetables, and a glass of wine for less than €11. Many gourmet restaurants (including those Michelin-starred) have special deals for lunch as well; we highly recommend Septime and Auguste for this.
From April to October, when the sun is out, Parisians love to pack their lunch and improvise a picnic in gardens and parks. Our secret insider-combo is to hit up the local food market Le Marché des Enfants Rouges and then the lawn of the Square du Temple, which is right nearby.
4pm: A Parisian's heart beats for an afternoon treat.
Paris is a city with a bakery or pastry shop at every street corner. And there's a reason for that!
If you have a sweet tooth, don't miss Carl Marletti's pastry shop and his jaw-dropping creations. Be prepared to fall for the Marie-Antoinette, a raspberry macaron filled with rose cream.
Parisians love tea as much as coffee, and many French tea brands are internationally famous (e.g., Mariage Frères Thés). For trying new flavors and blends, we recommend Artéfact, an amazing salon de thé and art space—it blends and creates its own tea flavors in a cozy, intimate atmosphere.
The apéritif is a French tradition dating back to the 19th century: The habit was to have a glass of liquor with medicinal properties before dinner in order to whet the appetite. The tradition remains, and Parisians cherish it! They gather with friends and co-workers over large plates of cheese and charcuterie and a glass (or two) of wine.
A great place to start the evening with some tasty food and liquor is Lockwood, where wonderful craft beers, homemade cocktails, French wine, and tapas are offered during the hours of aperitif (6pm-8pm). Le Baron Rouge is another great bet, a fantastic wine bar with a vivacious atmosphere and terrific selection of wine.
9pm: Time for a tasty discovery!
Paris is the land of "bistronomy," a huge trend in modern French cuisine.
Bistronomy is, of course, the combination of bistro and gastronomy. It can be summed up as a fine, traditional French meal with a twist of creativity, served in a typical bistro atmosphere. Our latest discovery is Elmer, a hidden gem ideal for a date or dinner with friends over a delicious bottle of wine.
So there you go: You're part Parisian now! Enjoy your time in the city!
About the authors: Nina Forlani and Ophélie Bielawski are Paris-based writers and contributors to INSIDR, which provides travelers with a digital guide—including maps with all the best non-touristy spots!—to discover Paris like a local. INSIDR gives access to customized maps and a community of English-speaking Parisians for real-time support.

If you are interested in having HSSV employees/volunteers educate a classroom or other group about important topics such as animal care, affordable spay and neuter options for their pets, dog bite prevention, and obedience training techniques, please contact us by phone or email. In some cases, a trustworthy and highly social HSSV animal may be available to attend the event!
We can usually welcome classes and groups to the shelter, by prearrangement, to learn more about pet care and animal welfare issues. Parent permission is required. If you would like to find out about bringing your students to the shelter for a guided tour, please call or email the office well in advance of your visit.
We encourage all citizens to recognize and report animal abuse. According to the Washington State anti-cruelty laws, all animals should have food, water, and shelter and be protected from abuse. You should call your local police department or (if you live in an unincorporated area of your county) call your County Animal Control to report animal abuse. If an emergency is in progress, call 911. If not, call the non-emergency number for your area.
The Humane Society of Skagit Valley believes that pet care education is extremely important. If you need advice on a pet care issue or if you need support in improving your relationship with your family pet, please call the shelter for tips or resources.
Staff and volunteers from the Humane Society are often involved in events around the area to inform people of all ages about animal care, spay and neuter services for their pets, dog bite prevention, and obedience training techniques. If you know of an organization that could use our education services, give us a call!
At this time, we do not have obedience classes scheduled. If you know of a covered facility in the Skagit Valley that is available at low or no cost for regular class sessions, please let us know! We would love to provide this community education service.
The Humane Society of the United States estimates that there are 6 to 8 million homeless animals entering animal shelters every year. Up to 3 million of these pets are euthanized due to a shortage of appropriate homes. Many of the dogs that are put to sleep each year are healthy, purebred animals with the potential to be cherished pets. There are no better ways to prevent homelessness in pets than to spay, neuter, and adopt.
Many of the cute, adorable puppies that you see for sale in pet stores, on the internet, or by breeders advertising in magazines or newspapers are actually born in filthy, abusive, and cramped conditions. A breeder can market puppies with a few photos of happy animals romping on the lawn, when in reality their breeding stock is stacked in a dark shed in layers of feces-caked wire cages. Some commercial breeders use inbred, genetically-weak parents to obtain smaller or specially-marked puppies, and the darling puppies that result can exhibit debilitating signs of congenital disease later in life. There are many heart wrenching stories of rescue operations in which hundreds of malnourished, terrified, and damaged mother and father dogs are extricated from deplorable conditions. By adopting your next pet from a reputable humane society or rescue group, you can refuse to support abusive puppy mill owners. Purebred dogs are also often available through our shelter and others like it. Seattle Purebred Dog rescue (www.spdrdogs.org) and Petfinder.com are good resources for finding an adoptable dog of your preferred breed.
To learn more about N.O.A.H.s program to alter feral cats at no cost to you, visit www.theNOAHcenter.org or call (360) 629-7055. Cat traps are available to borrow at no cost (security deposit required).
Cedardale Neuter and Vaccination Clinic in Mount Vernon offers low cost spay and neuter services. Visitwww.CedardaleVet.com or call (360) 424-5676 to learn more.
The Humane Society of Skagit Valley is Skagit County's designated small animal relief center.
Dry and/or wet food, of the brand and type that your pet usually eats, to last two weeks, along with dishes and a can opener if needed.
Potable water in plastic gallon jugs, to last two weeks, along with a dish or bowl.
Cat litter, to last two weeks, plus litter box and cleaning supplies.
Paperwork, including vaccine and veterinary records, microchip information, veterinarian contact information, and a printed photograph of your pet in case of loss.
List of emergency contacts, both in and out of the area.
Medication to last two weeks, in original prescription bottles with labels, including dosage instructions.
Collar, leash, and harness, in addition to a collar that is always on your pet with ID attached.
A pet bed or blanket.
A secure crate of the appropriate size for each pet.
Proof of ownership such as adoption or registration papers.
We recommend rotating stored food, water, and medical/veterinary supplies to ensure freshness.
In the event of an emergency evacuation, pet owners need to allow additional time to arrange care for pets. Many emergency shelters cannot accomodate families with pets, and delays resulting from pet care conflicts can endanger human and animal lives. If you would like help establishing an emergency plan for your two- and four-legged family, please call the Humane Society of Skagit Valley or read more at Washington State's Emergency Management Division website. It is an excellent resource with additional tips for owners of horses, reptiles, and other animals.
The Wild Neighbors tool from HSUS provides advice to help people deal with conflicts with wild animals (everything from mice and birds to bears) in or around their homes in a humane yet effective manner.
Advice for people who find animals that appear to be abandoned is available on this HSUS page. But, before you intervene to help a baby animal, please observe from a distance to see if the mother is nearby. For example, many does will hide their fawn(s) during foraging outings, and these infants are often safe to wait for their mother's return.
If you have found orphaned or injured wildlife in need of care, please contact our shelter at (360) 757-0445. If it is an after-hours emergency, you may call Wolf Hollow at (360) 378-5000. They will be able to give you further instructions.
The center was founded in 1983. Staff and volunteers have cared for a wide range of injured and orphaned wild animals and returned them to their natural habitat. Most of the animals in their care come from the San Juan Islands and Skagit County. We appreciate all they do for the injured or stray wildlife that come into our shelter!

Helen Gurley Brown's complicated feminist legacy
(CNN) - Longtime Cosmopolitan editor Helen Gurley Brown was a self-described "devout feminist" who paradoxically preached that "if you're not a sex object, you're in trouble." Another of her famous quips had it that "good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere."
Since her death Monday at age 90, how the original "Cosmo girl's" contrasting ideas became manifest in the pages of her iconic magazine has stirred debate over whether she left the world a better place for women.
On the one hand, she was an independent, powerful woman in publishing who talked frankly about sex and encouraged women not to see the act as shameful, said Jennifer Pozner, director of Women in Media & News. On the other hand, she created "one of the most body-shaming, insecurity-provoking, long-lasting sexist media products of the last 100 years."
These seemingly conflicted ideologies were also reflected in her own life in which she shed her Depression-era Arkansas roots and built herself into the leader of a global brand celebrating the "fun fearless female." Yet throughout her 32-year reign as Cosmo's editor-in-chief she was faithfully married to the same man and reportedly indulged in few vices except plastic surgery.

Under Mark Dayton, Minnesota is on Track to Fall from Fortune 500 "Top 10"
For the first time since 2000, Minnesota will drop from "Top 10" for states with the most Fortune 500 companies.
Following four years of Mark Dayton's lack of leadership as governor of Minnesota and two years of one party DFL control, Minnesota is on track to lose an honor held since 2001. For the years 2001 through 2013, Minnesota boasted a unique distinction, being in the top ten states with the most Fortune 500 companies headquartered within their borders.
Despite election year rhetoric from Mark Dayton that Minnesota is doing "better, much better than it was before." The reality is that Minnesota is headed in the wrong direction. Higher taxes, burdensome government regulation and bureaucracy, stalled projects like Polymet that would create new jobs, irresponsible spending and uncertainty about the future all face our state under Mark Dayton's failed agenda.
"Once again Minnesotans are reminded that Mark Dayton is remarkably out of touch. From his unparalleled support for a failed Obamacare exchange he championed as doing 'phenomenally well' to supporting over $2 billion in new taxes and now, most recently stating that one of Minnesota's largest and best known companies, Medtronic, relocating their headquarters to Ireland was 'tremendous' news," said Ben Golnik, Chairman of the Minnesota Jobs Coalition.
When Mark Dayton took office, there were twenty (20) Fortune 500 companies headquartered within Minnesota's borders. Four years later, under Mark Dayton's lack of leadership and punishing economic policies, Minnesota is set to slip to headquartering seventeen companies, a fifteen percent decrease.
Rank of Minnesota in the number of Fortune 500 companies headquartered within the state 1994‐2011 complied by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library.

Q: How Elasticache nodes save data suppose i have create a cache cluster with 4 nodes. Now I'm having 1 single configuration url for elastic cache cluster. & when ever i hit config url...it choose an random node nd store my data & these nodes are in-synch.
Now my question is that ...suppose i stored 5GB data then it will be stored on my both the nodes? It means in my 4 nodes 20GB space will be occupied which is illogical.
Can somebody explain how this works & is there any solution to get rid of this problem ?
I wanted to know how it store and serve data actually.

A: That depends on the caching engine and configuration you are using with Elasticache. For example, if you are using Redis with replication, that would consume 10G (5 on the master and 5 on the slave). If you are using Memcached without replication, data would be stored only on the node you hit, so you would use ~1.25G per node.

Whether you want to feel like a princess on your wedding day (or any day for that matter), or are going for an elegant yet bohemian vibe, gold is your answer. The metallic hue is not only extremely on trend this wedding season but it enhances any beauty and makes each day special. It also perfectly complements almost any colour - our favourites are schemes with gold and navy, white, blush or nudes.
As we are nearing the end of summer, we imagine wearing our golden sandals while wandering the beaches on a magnificent Greek Island. These Mediterranean influences are coming to wonderful fruition this season.
Some of our favourite letterpress wedding invitations and designs include the use of gold foiling. A technique that merges our preferred hue with texture and art. (Find out more info on the technique here).
Adding to all these qualities, gold also represents optimism, wealth and good health - great additions for any party!

Antonio Fogazzaro (Vicenza, Véneto; 25 de marzo de 1842-ibídem, 7 de marzo de 1911) fue un escritor y poeta italiano.

Infancia y formación
Nació en Vicenza, en el 1911 de la calle que hoy lleva su nombre, hijo de un industrial y perteneciente a una familia profundamente católica, y en la que varios miembros eran sacerdotes o religiosos. El propio Fogazzaro se describirá a sí mismo como sensible y retraído.

En mayo de 1848, en los días de la Primera Guerra de Independencia, su madre lo llevó junto a su hermana pequeña a Rovigo: Vicenza se ha rebelado y prepara la defensa ante la reacción del ejército austriaco, que el 10 de junio entrará en Vicenza al mando de Joseph Radetzky.

Finaliza sus estudios elementales en 1850. Poco brillante, no demasiado buen estudiante, era romántico y enamoradizo, y sus libros favoritos eran las Memorias de ultratumba de Chateaubriand y los de Walter Scott. En 1856 pasa al instituto, en donde le da clases el poeta Giacomo Zanella, que le hace descubrir a Heine. Sigue siendo un joven meditabundo, tímido y soñador. Ya entonces empieza a escribir algunos poemillas, que guarda en un cuaderno, y que dispersa en las cartas que envía a su familia.

Estudios de Derecho

Al terminar sus estudios en el Instituto en 1858, su vocación parecía encaminarle hacia estudios de literatura, pero su padre consideraba que carecía de capacidades literarias y se opuso, forzándole a estudiar Derecho en la Universidad de Padua. Debido a una larga enfermedad y también al cierre de la Universidad por parte de las autoridades en 1859 tras las protestas contra el régimen austríaco, Fogazzaro pierde dos años de estudios. En noviembre de 1860 la familia Fogazzaro se traslada a Turín y Fogazzaro prosigue sus estudios en dicha ciudad, aunque sus resultados son mediocres, dado que pasa más tiempo en los cafés jugando al billar que en las aulas. También sus creencias religiosas se resienten, aunque las dudas en el terreno religioso le siguen asaltando.

Siguió escribiendo poesías y el periódico Universo publicó algunas de ellas en 1863. El año siguiente consiguió su licenciatura con resultados discretos. En noviembre del año siguiente su familia se trasladó a Milán, donde Fogazzaro empezó a trabajar como auxiliar en un despacho de abogados.

Fogazzaro conocía desde su infancia a la familia de Vicenza de los condes Valmarana. Ya había vuelto a ver a la joven Margherita en Turín en 1862 y luego durante las vacaciones en los años siguientes. Los jóvenes se casaron en Vicenza el 31 de julio de 1866, pocas semanas después de que el Véneto, tras la Tercera Guerra de Independencia pasara a formar parte del Reino de Italia.

El trabajo que desarrolla en el despacho jurídico no le permite mantener a su familia, por lo que necesita recurrir al apoyo de la familia. En Milán conoce a Abbondio Chialiva, un antiguo carbonario que lo introduce en los ambientes literarios de la scapigliatura, en el que conoce a escritores como Emilio Praga, a los hermanos Arrigo y Camillo Boito o Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, que, conscientes del provincialismo literario italiano, buscaban nuevas vías en el arte. Consigue una especial relación con Arrigo Boito, pero nunca llegará a integrarse en el movimiento, demasiado radical para su gusto conservador.

En 1868 supera los exámenes para poder ejercer la abogacía, aunque sigue pensando en dedicarse a la poesía. En 1869 nace su primera hija, a la vez que empieza a trabajar en una novela y en diversos poemas.

Inicios poéticos: Miranda y Valsolda

Fogazzaro envió a su padre el manuscrito del poema Miranda el 3 de diciembre de 1873. Este lo encuentra bueno y decide buscar sin éxito quien lo publique, por lo que acaban haciéndolo a su costa en 1874. Miranda se compone de tres partes: La carta, El libro de Miranda y El libro de Enrico, y desarrolla la vivencia de un amor frustrado: en Enrico, Fogazzaro quiso representar la figura de un joven poeta estetizante y demasiado egoísta como para amar a nadie aparte de a sí mismo, un hijo de su tiempo visto bajo su aspecto más negativo, mientras en Miranda se representa a una muchacha idealizada. Aunque no gustara a los críticos, la poesía gustó al público lector, y esto sirvió para que Fogazzaro decidiese proseguir su aventura literaria.

Dos años después, en 1876, surge el libro de poemas Valsolda, en una pequeña editorial milanesa, ya que el mayor editor de la época, Treves, se niega a publicarlo. Esta vez, al fracaso de la crítica se une la desilusión del público, que no halla en esos versos el tono sentimental de Miranda, que tanto había gustado a los seguidores del romanticismo en su época; en Valsolda Fogazzaro privilegia la nota paisajística, pero sus versos, aun siendo imaginativos y musicales, carecen de personalidad, parece tratarse de un entretenimiento. Regresa a la fe católica.

De la poesía a la novela

Malombra

Tal vez la conciencia de no haber acertado en la poesía le encaminó hacia la prosa. En 1881 sale su primera novela, Malombra. La protagonista es Marina de Malombra, bella y atormentada sobrina del conde Cesare d'Orsenigo, en cuyo palacio reside. Allí encuentra casualmente un mensaje escrito en los primeros años del Siglo XVIII por una antepasada suya, la infeliz esposa de un Orsenigo y amante de un joven llamado Renato, Cecilia Varrega, que animaba a quien hallase su mensaje a que la vengara contra los descendientes de su marido.

Marina se identifica con la desdichada Cecilia hasta el punto en que creerá que esta se ha reencarnado en ella y consumará la venganza, haciendo morir de miedo a su tío Cesare y matando al escritor Corrado Serra, al que, en su locura, considera es la reencarnación del amante de Cecilia. Una noche tenebrosa Marina desaparecerá en el lago situado frente al palacio de los Orsenigo. Los protagonistas de esta novela, Marina y Corrado, son dos personajes que Fogazzaro retomará prácticamente en todas sus siguientes novelas: Marina es la mujer aristocrática, bella y sensual, pero inabarcable, inquieta y neurótica; Corrado es el intelectual idealista que desea alcanzar sus ideales, pero al que su falta de decisión impide alcanzarlos, impedido también por las restricciones venales de un mundo que no entiende dicho idealismo.

En la novela, recorrida por una atmósfera morbosa de locura, ocultismo, sensualidad y muerte, Fogazzaro introduce con habilidad personajes humorísticos y emotivos, como el capitán Steinegge, de casta pureza, como la hija Edith, candorosos, como don Innocenzo o caricaturescos como la condesa Fosca y su hijo Nepo. El uso del dialecto en los diálogos de los personajes secundarios, la realidad, tienen como función atenuar la tensión de misterio e inminente tragedia que la novela va haciendo presagiar.

El libro, en el que también se descubre el interés del autor por el espiritismo, suscitó reacciones diversas; atacado por Salvatore Farina y Enrico Panzacchi, fue parcialmente elogiado por parte de Giovanni Verga y  por Giuseppe Giacosa, pero las principales revistas literarias ni siquiera la mencionaron.

Daniele Cortis
Fogazzaro terminó su siguiente novela, Daniele Cortis''' en 1884. Durante esa época, Fogazzaro mantendrá una aventura sentimental que durará casi una década, con Felicitas Buchner, la institutriz bávara de los hijos de su cuñado. Esta relación fue vivida por ambos amantes con fuertes sentimientos de culpa, sentimientos que aparecen en la novela.
El protagonista es un diputado católico que quiere formar un nuevo partido en la Italia de su época, una democracia cristiana que permita que muchos católicos se integren en la vida política (prohibida en aquella época por el Non expedit papal) encabezado por un hombre de altas cualidades intelectuales y morales. El intento resulta un fracaso, igual que el amor de Cortis, casado con una mujer enferma y de carácter frío, con la prima Elena, casada con un ser indigno, y que termina con la renuncia en nombre del amor que se sublima en el sacrificio y en el alejamiento. En la novela, que tuvo un gran éxito, Fogazzaro expresa, en boca de su protagonista, sus propias convicciones políticas liberales.

En 1887, año en el que murió su padre, publicó una floja recolección de relatos Fedele y otros relatos: Fogazzaro no evocará hasta más adelante la figura de su padre, alter ego del protagonista de su mejor novela, Pequeño mundo antiguo.

 El misterio del poeta
Alessandro Manzoni opinaba que había suficiente amor en el mundo como para tener que inventarlo en la novela. Fogazzaro discrepaba, opinando que el arte debe destacar el amor, teoriza sobre el gran amor exclusivo de las almas nobles y atormentadas, amor esencialmente literario más que real. Este es el amor que se encuentra en "El misterio del poeta (1888, novela ambientada en un Núremberg totalmente irreal y en el que se narra el amor entre un poeta y una joven inglesa, Violet Yves, de salud frágil. Tras muchos problemas se casan, pero Violet muere durante el viaje de novios. Lo artificioso de la trama, el sentimentalismo exasperado y el tema que trata de expresar Fogazzaro (la imposibilidad en este mundo de hallar un amor que sólo pueda adquirir significado en el otro, la necesidad de la renuncia) dan a la novela un tinte de inverosimilitud que nos distancia de ella.

 Fogazzaro y el evolucionismo
Con El origen de las especies (The Origin of Species), que publica en 1859 Charles Darwin, se da el golpe de gracia a las teorías creacionistas, basadas en la tradición bíblica. Fogazzaro, que leyó el libro de Darwin en 1889 se alineó inmediatamente con las nuevas teorías, lo que chocaba frontalmente con la Iglesia, aunque Fogazzaro tratara de conciliar la teoría con la tradición del pensamiento católico. Pensó que una buena opción era el libro de Joseph LeConte, Evolution: its History, its Evidences, and its Relation to Religious Thought (1888), en la que el escritor estadounidense formula la hipótesis de que las fuerzas naturales responsables de la evolución de las especies podrían ser emanación directa de la voluntad divina.

Con esta mentalidad, Fogazzaro impartió el 22 de febrero de 1891 una conferencia en el Instituto Veneto di Scienze e Lettere de Venecia en la que trataba de conciliar a San Agustín y a Darwin, pero que irritó mucho a los católicos sin suscitar simpatías entre los darwinistas. El obispo de Cremona, Geremia Bonomelli, le sugirió ser prudente. Fogazzaro, que declaraba que su deseo era el de glorificar a Dios frente a la ignorancia y frente a la mala fe de los darwinistas, que consideran a la Iglesia incapaz de entender las nuevas teorías. El 2 de marzo de 1893 expone en el Colegio Romano sus teorías evolucionistas ante la misma reina Margarita de Saboya en la que reafirmaba sus tesis darwinianas, y retomando la teoría de Antonio Rosmini, que decía que el alma no se formaba inmediatamente con el embrión, sino tras un cierto grado de desarrollo. La prensa católica montó en cólera, opinando que era intolerable que un seglar pretendiera enseñar a otros fieles lo que se debe y no se debe creer en lo tocante a la creación, lo que según ellos comprometía no sólo la doctrina teológica, sino la propia estructura jerárquica de la Iglesia.

 La tetralogía de los Maironi
En julio de 1894 termina su relación con Felicitas Buchner (la Elena de Daniele Cortis) y el 16 de mayo de 1895 muere a los veinte años su hijo Mariano.

 Pequeño mundo antiguo

Al año siguiente se publica su obra maestra, Pequeño mundo antiguo, obra muy meditada y en la que trabajaba desde 1889. Ambientada en los años anteriores a la Segunda Guerra de Independencia, con el trasfondo del lago de Lugano, es la historia de la familia del noble Franco Maironi, católico y liberal, y de la pequeñoburguesa Luisa Rigey, a cuyo matrimonio se había opuesto la marquesa Orsola, partidaria de los austriacos, abuela de Franco. Las dificultades económicas y el profundo sentido de la justicia que siente Luisa, en contraste con el carácter voluble de Franco, hacen difícil la relación entre los cónyuges provocando su alejamiento cuando la hija pequeña, Ombretta muere ahogada en el lago; pero mientras Luisa se encierra en sí misma y se dedica al espiritismo con la esperanza de establecer contacto con su hija, Franco se traslada a Turín, encuentra trabajo y adquiere conciencia de la necesidad de participar activamente en la liberación de Italia, ocupada por los austriacos. La novela termina con el reencuentro de los esposos en la Isla Bella, en 1859, en donde Franco se embarca hacia la orilla lombarda del lago Mayor y luchar con las tropas italianas. En esta novela Fogazzaro alcanza las cotas más altas de su arte. El éxito unánime de la novela impulsan al rey Humberto I a nombrar a Fogazzaro senador el 25 de octubre de 1896 aunque no consiguió entrar en el Senado en 1900.

El 2 de marzo de 1897, centenario del nacimiento de Antonio Rosmini (condenado por el papa León XIII el 7 de marzo de 1888) la Academia degli Agiati de Rovereto publicó dos volúmenes sobre el filósofo trentino, en los que hay un estudio de Fogazzaro.

El 6 de junio, en Vicenza, pronuncia un discurso en la Basílica palladiana durante la inauguración de un busto de Cavour, alabando la obra del político piamontés, en la que se oponía a la teoría de la restauración del poder temporal de la Iglesia y adoptando como suya la famosa máxima de la "Iglesia libre en un Estado libre".

 Pequeño mundo moderno

El 21 de noviembre de 1900 termina il manuscrito de su siguiente novela Pequeño mundo moderno, publicado al año siguiente. El protagonista es Piero Maironi, el hijo de Franco y Luisa; casado con una enferma mental, y que se siente fascinado por Jeanne Dessalle, una intelectual refinada, bella y rica, perteneciente a la buena sociedad internacional; la relación se establece con ambigüedades y deseos desviados, pero no concluye: al morir su mujer, Piero decide vivir ascéticamente, tratando de comprometerse en la reforma de la Iglesia.

El 20 de julio de 1903 muere el papa León XIII. Fogazzaro tiene la esperanza de que su sucesor sea el cardenal Alfonso Capecelatro, en el que ve sus afanes renovadores. Sin embargo, el cónclave designa el 4 de agosto al cardenal Giuseppe Sarto, que toma el nombre de Pío X. Para el escritor es una decepción.

 El Santo

En noviembre de 1905 aparece su nueva novela, El Santo, en la que el protagonista vuelve a ser Piero Maironi que, tras retirarse con el nombre de Benedetto a la abadía benedictina de Subiaco, lleva una vida de oración y penitencia. En el convento se vuelve a encontrar con Jeanne Dassalle que, tras quedar viuda, esperaba poder reanudar una relación pero se da cuenta de que Piero había cambiado demasiado; venerado como un santo en el pueblo, Piero va a Roma, tratando de convencer al propio papa de la necesidad de una reforma radical de la Iglesia, pero encuentra oposición tanto de los católicos tradicionales como por los partidarios del estado laico. Decepcionado y enfermo, muere en casa de un amigo, junto a Jeanne.

A pesar de que no tuvo buena acogida por parte de la crítica, la repercusión en el público fue bastante grande; el propio presidente de los Estados Unidos (y premio Nobel de la Paz) Theodore Roosevelt lo alabó, pero fue condenado tanto por los laicos intransigentes como por los católicos. El 4 de abril de 1906 el libro fue condenado por la Congregación para la doctrina de la fe y fue a parar al famoso Índice de libros prohibidos. Leila

A pesar de retractarse públicamente, Fogazzaro siguió apostando por una renovación de las instituciones eclesiásticas, que pudiera adaptarlas a las exigencias de la sociedad moderna. Pero el 8 de septiembre de 1907 aparece la encíclica Pascendi Dominici gregis, que condenaba el movimiento modernista.

El 11 de noviembre de 1910 se presenta en Milán Leila, la última novela de Fogazzaro, que había empezado a redactar en 1905. En ella, Fogazzaro declaró que había tratado de presentar en su nueva novela sus ideas reformistas acerca de la religión. Fogazzaro no consiguió satisfacer ni a los católicos progresistas ni a los conservadores, y el libro también fue condenado por la Iglesia. Los últimos meses de su vida están marcados por la desilusión y por la sensación de que su misión en la vida había concluido. Muy enfermo, muere en el Hospital de Vicenza.

 Los temas de Fogazzaro
Dos son los principales temas que preocupan a Antonio Fogazzaro, y que por ello aparecerán en su obra literaria: la fe y el amor.

 La religión

Fogazzaro era profundamente católico y practicante. Si trató de conciliar las teorías de Darwin con las de San Agustín es porque pensaba que actuando de ese modo no contravenía ningún dogma de fe. También la simpatía que mostró por el modernismo, que de hecho tampoco se concretó en su obra, estaba dentro de su convencimiento de que estaba dentro del umbral de la ortodoxia, hasta el punto de que admitió inmediatamente la condena y se retractó.

La auténtica innovación que encontramos en Fogazzaro es la expresión del sentimiento religioso; en sintonía con las exigencias de los lectores de su tiempo, manifestó en sus novelas una fe religiosa que siempre matizaba los actos de sus personajes. El sentimiento de culpa, el que él mismo experimentaba en su relación adulterina aparece en sus obras de madurez.

 El amor
Fogazzaro pertenecía a la burguesía, a la clase social más moderna e inquieta de su época, y se dirigía a ese mismo público. Su modernidad o sus audacias en el terreno del amor estaban siempre limitadas por la presencia permanente de una tradición católica no muy beata, pero esencialmente conservadora. Fogazzaro pues era perfectamente capaz de darse cuenta de lo que era necesario adoptar para formar parte del mundo moderno, capaz de buscar desarrollos sociales, siempre que no fueran el resultado de grandes procesos revolucionarios. En su concepto de lo que es la vida familiar, Fogazzaro reduce a este terreno el tema del amor.

 El romanticismo

En la historia de la novela italiana, el romanticismo casi no aparece, al menos en el sentido en el que aparecen los fuertes contrastes que podemos encontrar en Francia o Alemania, ese romanticismo que pasa del drama al idilio, de lo patético a lo sublime. El novelista romántico italiano por excelencia, Alessandro Manzoni conscientemente rechazaba estos temas, a pesar de que luego aparezcan (y tremendamente matizados) en su obra maestra, Los Novios. Tampoco se encuentran en la Scapigliatura, ya que se trató de un movimiento efímero y en realidad de poca trascendencia más allá de los círculos especializados. El romanticismo en Italia encontró su mejor exponente en la música, en donde además alcanzó su auténtica repercusión popular, con su máximo exponente, Giuseppe Verdi.

También aparece tangencialmente en Fogazzaro. Sus fuertes prejuicios religiosos le impedían mostrar pasiones exacerbadas como las del René de Chateaubriand, las tormentas espirituales son vividas por seres moralmente superiores, que por esa razón aceptan la voluntad divina y son capaces de renunciar a las consecuencias de las pasiones que experimentan.

 La política

En los años 1880, tras la derrota de la derecha, se había extendido en Italia un sentimiento de desconfianza hacia una clase política considerada corrupta y dispuesta a aceptar cualquier arreglo, y hacia un parlamentarismo que aparecía ineficaz. Algunos elementos de la burguesía, también preocupados por el avance de la clase obrera ansiaban la presencia de un hombre fuerte, al estilo de Bismarck, que limitara al parlamento, fortaleciera la monarquía, resolviese la Cuestión romana y proporcionase a Italia autoridad y respeto en el concierto internacional. Estas ideas, que aparecen en su novela Daniele Cortis son proyectos que Fogazzaro no retomó en sus novelas, pero que evidentemente fueron muy elogiadas por el fascismo. A partir de Pequeño mundo antiguo vuelve a los antiguos ideales del Risorgimento, a un patriotismo sencillo y generoso, afirmación de dignidad contra la injusticia y los abusos.

Fogazzaro no fue un autor literario comprometido. Sus ideas políticas y religiosas aparecían en tanto en cuanto eran vividas por el autor, pero nunca se preocupó de los muchos temas que aparecían en la actualidad política de su época (los deseos expansionistas en África, el impulso de la clase obrera, las rebeliones en Sicilia, el escándalo de la Banca romana). Su descripción de la sociedad italiana que conoció utilizaba a veces el dialecto véneto, la comicidad, para restar dramatismo a situaciones que a veces se acercaban al verismo que propugnaba Giovanni Verga, pero sin perder el elemento optimista que sin duda su profunda fe católica le proporcionaba.

Graft allegations: I rejected Obasanjo's N50m third term bribe, says Sen. Na'Allah
From Fred Itua, Abuja
Barely 24 hours after former president Olusegun Obasanjo lampooned members of the National Assembly of being corrupt, Deputy Senate Leader, Bala Ibn Na'Allah, challenged the former president to prove his allegations of corruption.
The senator who claimed he turned down Obasanjo's N50 million offer to endorse his third term bid, vowed to vacate his seat if Obasanjo could prove one record of corruption against him.
Obasanjo, on Monday, after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, told State House correspondents that the National Assembly was an assemblage of looters and thieves.
"Well, if you said that I have said it in the past and if there are people who didn't believe what I said in the past and then you now say that what has come out confirms what I said in the past, then I can say what I said in the past is what I will say now. It is not a question of investigation, we should get men and women of integrity in the place and the president should be very vigilant, whatever should not pass should not pass," Obsasanjo said in reaction to the recent budget padding allegations rocking the House of Representatives.
That was the the upteenpth time Obasanjo was taking the nation's lawmakers, both at the federal and states, to the cleaners. In 2012, he described the legislative arm as an institution filled with "rogues and armed robbers". He repeated the 'assault in 2014.
In January this year, the former president wrote Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara accusing the federal lawmakers of corruption, impunity, greed and of repeatedly breaking the nation's laws.
But reacting to the recent outburst, Na'Allah, who served as a member of the House of Representatives, said in a statement that he took exception to the impression that there were no men of integrity in the National Assembly.
"I am respectfully taking exception to the statement which I express the hope is not true," the lawmaker said. "To start with it is not in my character to join issues with an elder statesmen who have had the privilege of superintending over the affairs of our great country Nigeria.
"This exception has become necessary in view of the enormity of the alleged statement to my person and integrity."
"If former President Obasanjo can come out with one proven record of corruption against me as a person, I promise to vacate my seat as a senator of the federal republic of Nigeria.
"For the records, I was the only member from Kebbi State who did not find it worthy at that time of collecting the sum of N50 million as an inducement to subvert the constitution and provide a constitutional framework for the third term ambition of President Obasanjo.
"I find this statement, if it is true, to be reckless and terrifying. The implications of the statement is to say that the entire over 170 million Nigerians have not elected a single person with integrity among the 469 members of the National Assembly. This is definitely rhapsodic and does not conform to common sense and reason," he said.
Meanwhile, the Senate is yet to officially react to Obasanjo's claims. Its spokesman, Abdullahi Sabi, said on Monday that lawmakers were not aware of Obasanjo's corruption allegations.
He also claimed that since members were currently on their annual break, it was difficult for him to give any official reaction, maintaining that he was yet to be briefed.

Google Takes Enterprise Search Appliances to the Channel
Consumer search giant Google is entering a partnership with Ingram Micro Inc. to distribute the Google Search Appliance and the Google Mini, according to a Google blog entry on Wednesday.
"We're embarking on a partnership with Ingram Micro," wrote Rodrigo Vaca, Channel Marketing Manager for Google Enterprise in a posting Wednesday morning on the Google Enterprise blog. "One of the largest global distributors of technology products in the world, Ingram has extensive reseller relationships in Europe, Asia and Latin America that will help us deliver the power of search behind the firewall to businesses of all sizes, more efficiently and at a larger scale than we could on our own."
Vaca cited Ingram Micro's network of 165,000 worldwide network of retailers and resellers and its presence in SMB, government and education channels as key reasons for Google to choose Ingram as its distributor.
In a statement released later in the day, Dave Girouard, vice president and general manager for Google Enterprise, said, "This relationship with Ingram Micro marks an important milestone in the evolution of Google's enterprise search business, giving customers around the world better access to our products and support."
The Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software device that crawls and indexes an enterprise's content for data in 220 file formats and 109 languages for quick retrieval via search. The devices are aimed at medium and large enterprises and start at $30,000. The Google Mini, designed for smaller organizations, starts at $1,995.
Ingram president and COO Kevin Murai called the announcement an important event for the channel. "This emerging relationship between Google and Ingram Micro marks the beginning of greater opportunities and benefits, especially for small and mid-sized business owners around the world," Murai said in a statement. "As Google makes a much anticipated entrance into the channel we look forward to contributing to Google's mission by making its products universally accessible."
Analyst Darren Bibby, who focuses on channel issues for Framingham, Mass.-based IDC, says Google's move into the channel has implications for Microsoft and its partners as Microsoft attempts to carve market share for itself in the enterprise search space, where Microsoft recently launched a new partner specialization.
"The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference is two weeks away, and search is a big topic for Microsoft," says Bibby, adding that partners will have choices to make on enterprise search. "I think what Google has done here is real basic in terms of partnering. You're going to go with what's known as the consumer market leader in search, with a basic partner offering. Or you're going to go with Microsoft, which is fighting tooth and nail to catch up with that reputation, but then they've got a much more developed partner program and give partners lots of attention."


Biography: Harry Clifton Larter Jr. was born on September 23, 1902, in Newark, New jersey. He was the son of Harry C. Larter Sr. and went to school at the Newark Academy and the Choate School. He was serving in the old Essex Troop of the New Jersey National Guard when he won an appointment to West Point.
While studying at West Point, his artistic talent helped him excel in a number of projects, including chairing the Class Ring Committee and the redesign of the Class Seal. He was also Art Editor for the Howitzer yearbook in his first year. He graduated from the class of 1925.
Service Time: Harry entered the service after graduation and served in a number of locations, including Hawaii, before he was assigned to the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, OK, in 1931. He quickly set himself to task, establishing a permanent Field Artillery Museum at Fort Sill with the collection of historical and teaching materials he found stored on the base. During that period, he served in a variety of positions including student, faculty and instructor.
His hard work was rewarded in the summer of 1934, when orders were issued approving the museum and naming Lt. Larter as the curator and allocating a building for use as the museum. On December 10, the museum was officially opened by Major General Upton Birnie, Jr., Chief of Field Artillery. Larter continued to collect items for the museum during an extended trip to Washington and also painted both pictures and murals of Artillery men in uniform for the museum.
Harry was transferred to Fort Myer, Virginia in 1936, and assigned to the 16th Field Artillery. In 1941, now Major Later was called to command the 801st Tank Destroyer Battalion. In 1942, he was selected to lead the 8th Tank Destroyer Group and continued with them throughout WWII. The unit was activated at Camp Hood, Texas, on Oct. 13, 1942, and was stationed at a number of training bases before joining the III Corps, in August of 1943. They shipped out from the Boston port on September 5, 1944, arriving in England on the 15th.
They soon shipped to France, landing on Oct. 21, 1944, where they acted as the III Corps Anti-Tank section. They moved into Luxembourg on Dec. 19, 1944, and then into Belgium on Dec. 20, 1944, before returning to Luxembourg a few days later. They went back to Belgium before finally moving into Germany on Feb. 24, 1945, and assuming responsibility of the Remagan bridgehead TD coordination. The 8th shipped back to the U.S., arriving in New York on Jul. 7, 1945. The unit was deactivated at Camp Bowie, TX, on Oct. 20, 1945. Colonel Larter was awarded the Silver Star, Legion of Merit and Bronze Star for his service with the 8th.
Harry had two daughters, Mary and Barbara. In 1947, Harry married the former Grace Huppertz Roberts. He was assigned to the 4th Army as their Information Officer. His work in that position led to a vast improvement in the communication between the various public and military offices. On January 31, 1950, Harry was forced to retire due to health reasons but he and Grace continued his work to preserve the history of the military. He was the Associate Curator of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum and the Witte Memorial Museum in San Antonio. He was President and Charter Member of the Company of Military Collectors and Historians and belonged to the Cannon Hunters of America Society. He additionally belonged to the Member of Ends of the Earth and was a permanent consultant for the museum at Fort Sill. Throughout all his endeavors, he always utilized his art skills to support and enhance each project.

The illustration to the left is one of many done by Harry in an effort to preserve the long history of the Field Artillery.
Harry passed away on August 16, 1960, and was buried in the Fort Sam Houston Cemetery, in San Antonio, Texas.

Jehanne Darc (1412 – 30 May 1431), also known as Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc), was a mystic visionary, military leader, martyr, saint and heroine of France. Executed by fire as a heretic after sentencing by a tribunal of pro-English clergy, she was later cleared of the charges during an appellate trial of the Inquisition on 7 July 1456, and canonized as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 16 May 1920.
Simple: I do not know whether god loves or hates the English, but I do know that they will all be kicked out of France, unless they die here.
Simple: You say you are my judge. I am unsure that you are! But you must be careful to judge me well/fairly, because you will put yourself at risk. I warn you, so that if God punishes/disciplines you for it, I cannot be blamed for not telling you.
Simple: Kids say that people are killed sometimes for speaking the truth.
When asked about her childhood and what she did.
Simple: I learned to spin (wool) and sew; and I am as good as any woman at spinning and sewing in Rouen.
Asked if she told her troops that copies of her pennant would bring luck.
The poor folk gladly came to me, for I did them no unkindness, but helped them as much as I could.
Simple: The poor like me, for I caused them no harm, but helped them when I could.
Simple: You take great care to record/write everything that goes against me in this trial, but you will not record/write down anything that agrees with me.
I am a good Christian, properly baptized and I will die... a good Christian.
And if I were condemned and brought to the place of judgment and I saw the torch lit and the faggots ready, and the executioner ready to kindle the fire, and if I were within the fire, yet I would say nothing else and I would maintain unto death what I have said in this trial!
Simple: Even if I were about to be burned alive, I would say nothing else (confess) then what I have already said at this trial.
I saw them with these very eyes, as well as I see you.
On how she recognized the saints of her visions.
I beg all of you standing here to forgive me the harm that I may have done you. Please pray for me.

The Bosch Group and the University of St. Gallen (HSG) have officially put the innovative "Bosch Internet of Things Lab: a collaboration between HSG and Bosch" into operation – with Benedikt Würth, Minister for Economic Affairs of the Canton of St. Gallen, in attendance.
The think tank's mission is to find and test business models for the Internet of Things (IoT). In addition, researchers will be working to develop internet-based products and services. There are currently five graduate students working with Dr. Markus Weinberger at the innovation lab's research facility on campus. By 2013, there will be ten HSG and Bosch employees working at the facility. "The Internet of Things will revolutionize great swathes of the economy in the coming years. We see big growth potential for Bosch in this revolution, and we want the innovative work carried out in St. Gallen to help us tap this potential," said Dr. Siegfried Dais, deputy chairman of the Bosch board of management.
The first major areas of research include connected mobility and the smart connectivity of buildings. Bosch Software Innovations GmbH, the Bosch Group's software and systems house, will provide operational support to the think tank, allowing the researchers to draw on this reservoir of expertise.
Paul Rigger and Thomas von Bomhard are working on a project to use bicycles as mobile advertising spaces. Screens are mounted on the sides of bicycles and can be controlled over the internet. This makes it possible, for instance, to change an ad to a message that is especially interesting for the neighborhood a cyclist is in. Kristina Flüchter is also working on a bicycle-related topic: investigating the commercial and technical requirements for running a fleet of e-bikes. She is working on the assumption that the organizations that run hotels, leisure facilities, transport services, etc. in tourism regions might be interested in jointly operating an e-bike program.
The second major area of research, connected buildings, also allows researchers to draw on the expertise of a range of Bosch business areas, including Bosch Solar Energy (for energy supply), Bosch Thermotechnology (for heating and heat pumps), Bosch Security Systems (for data protection and access control), Bosch Healthcare (for telemedicine and emergency call systems), Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte (for household appliances), Bosch Software Innovations, and Bosch Energy and Building Systems (for energy management). Dominic Wörner is working on a smart heating control system whose features include the ability to process weather forecasts from the internet. Markus Köhler is also working on the connectivity of buildings. Both are looking into the question of how to actively involve the owners or users of a building in using important resources such as electricity and water more sparingly.
The Bosch IoT Lab makes use of a unique combination of scientific research, practical applications, business administration, and technology management. HSG's technology management department is currently collaborating with 50 different companies on topics related to the Internet of Things. "We are working on problems from the world of business for the world of business," explained Prof. Fleisch, who emphasized: "The fact that we're collaborating with a large number of different companies and that the major topics are not company-specific ensures that there is absolute scientific freedom of inquiry." The HSG professor is researching the economic impacts and infrastructures of ubiquitous computer use, and he is a co-founder of several university spin-offs. He also shares his know-how at ETH Zurich.
Bosch has had a presence in Switzerland since 1920 through companies such as Robert Bosch AG, Scintilla AG, Bosch Rexroth Schweiz AG, Buderus Heiztechnik AG, Bosch Packaging Systems AG, and sia Abrasives Industries AG. Bosch Group companies in Switzerland employ some 3,400 people and generated sales of around 1.4 billion Swiss francs (1.2 billion euros) in 2011.

'The first casualty of war is innocence' is the tag line for Oliver Stones first film in his Vietnam War trilogy, Platoon (1986) followed by Born on the Fourth of July (1989) and Heaven and Earth (1993). Stone himself served in the conflict and used the film to relate his own experiences as a young soldier.
Chris Taylor (Charlie Sheen) is a nineteen year old middle class naïve American who upon arriving in Vietnam quickly discovers that he does battle not only with the Viet Cong, but also with the gnawing fear, physical exhaustion and intense anger growing within him. While his two commanding officers (Tom Berenger and William Defoe) draw a fine line between the war they wage against the enemy and the one they fight with each other. This in turn has a lasting effect on our once clean cut American solider.
This powerful war film is a harsh coming of age drama, a modern classic with a shortage of heroes and one of Stones most accomplished pieces of work. Deservedly won the Academy Award for best picture in 1986.


According to a recent report, Ferrari has patented an innovative electric steering technology.
EVO says the system will still use a direct mechanical steering linkage but software will reduce the inaccuracy and inconsistent feedback inherent in existing steering setups. This software will calculate the angle and torque applied to the steering wheel by the driver and will apply the necessary corrections to reduce the "transmission error". This error is explained as a small delay between the driver's input on the wheel and the response at the front wheels.
The magazine also claims the new system is simple, inexpensive and it wouldn't add any extra weight, because it uses the existing steering hardware. The software on the other hand doesn't require large processing power or large reserves of memory.
There is still no information if this new technology will ever reach future Ferrari road cars.
