#MH370: Search update for Saturday, April 12
Acoustic data analysis continues.
No pings from the black boxes have been detected since the towed pinger locator detected signals on Tuesday. The previously reported signals picked up by the sonar buoys have been analyzed and excluded as electronic signals from the black boxes.
The Chief Coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston (Ret'd), said an initial assessment of the possible signal detected by a RAAF AP-3C Orion aircraft yesterday afternoon has been determined as not related to an aircraft underwater locator beacon.
"The Australian Joint Acoustic Analysis Centre has analysed the acoustic data and confirmed that the signal reported in the vicinity of the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield is unlikely to be related to the aircraft black boxes," Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston (Ret'd), said.
Here's the media release for today.
12 April 2014—am
Up to nine military aircraft, one civil aircraft and 14 ships will assist in today's search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Today the Australian Maritime Safety Authority has planned a visual search area totalling approximately 41,393 square kilometres. The centre of the search areas lies approximately 2331 kilometres north west of Perth.
Today, Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield continues more focused sweeps with the Towed Pinger Locator to try and locate further signals related to the aircraft's black boxes. The AP-3C Orions continue their acoustic search, working in conjunction with Ocean Shield. The oceanographic ship HMS Echo is also working in the area with Ocean Shield. This work continues in an effort to narrow the underwater search area for when the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is deployed. There have been no confirmed acoustic detections over the past 24 hours.
The weather forecast for today is 10 knot south easterly winds with isolated showers, sea swells up to one metre and visibility of five kilometres in showers.
Aircraft and ships reported spotting a number of objects during yesterday's search, but only a small number were able to be recovered. None of the recovered items were confirmed to be associated with MH370.
The underwater search area is approximately 14,800 feet below the surface of the ocean and about the same size as the city of Los Angeles. That's why they are going to continue to listen for pings until they are satisfied that the batteries have expired. The more pings they detect, the easier it will be to shrink the search area and locate the black boxes.
The Bluefin 21's sonar can scan only about 100 meters to each side and its lights can only illuminate a few meters. The maximum depth at which it can operate is 4,500 meters and some areas of the search zone are deeper. Because of these limitations, they will continue to listen for pings until they are satisfied that they know the location of the black boxes or the batteries have died. The boxes are not going anywhere, so they are not going to risk losing or damaging the Bluefin 21 during a premature dive.
The searchers are also concerned about the firmness of the ocean bottom, which they believe to be composed of a layer of silt, approximately 75 feet deep. They fear the wreckage, including the black boxes, may have disappeared into the silt muffling and misdirecting the pings while also making it difficult to see any wreckage.

Fashion Notes: Addicted to J. Crew?
JCrew-a-holics R Us: Resistance is Futile!
I had come across this blog before, a while ago. I can admit I don't belong to J.A., but I have owned some J.Crew items and consider at least some of the addiction to be legitimate.
They make good clothes, durable but thoughtful basics. I always feel slightly apologetic for liking J. Crew (how collegiate, how New England, how preppy), but it beats out Banana Republic by a long shot for quality.
Definitely...Banana Republic went down the tubes some years ago. It used to be very good.
I prefer J.Crew myself, although I'm thinking more and more about American Apparel, or fiddling around with indie houses.
As you can see from my blog, "JCrew-a-holics R Us," (http://jcrewaholic.blogspot.com), I write no-nonsense reviews of JCrew fashions. Sometimes I like what they do, & sometimes I don't; either way, it's all detailed there in my blog. The blog is written from the customer perspective, & while, I'm certainly a fan of their clothing for the most part, I don't work for the company at all. (I run my own fashion retail business, Ferlanti Couture, http://ferlanti.com, & also do fashion consulting via Liveperson (http://liveperson.com/cyberfashionista).
I wouldn't necessarily classify my own fashion identity as preppy, as I like to take inspiration from various fashion sources, but JCrew's clothing still appeals to me a great deal. Sure, they're great for basics like their chinos & perfect-fit tees, but what I really like about them is their quality, out-of-the-ordinary pieces in bright & unusual colors that can't be found anywhere else. That's why I look forward to shopping there.
JCrew has evolved a lot since their humble beginnings as a small catalog company & is not just for the college prepster crowd anymore. ;-) While it's true that a lot of preppies & college kids do like their clothing & that they excel at basics & classic clothing, JCrew has also significantly expanded their product lines & revamped their brand image, to appeal to a more fashion-forward audience. Prime examples of this include their limited-edition JCrew Collection line, & the accompanying JCrew Collection flagship store on Madison Avenue, & new signature pieces from their women's line (i.e., like the Camilla jacket, which I just recently blogged about: http://jcrewaholic.blogspot.com/2008/04/yesterdays-store-visit-what-fantastic.html).
These are the kind of innovative designs JCrew is becoming known for all over the fashion universe. Of course, this relatively recent shift in JCrew's fashion zeitgeist is no coincidence; the changes are due, in no small part, to visionary CEO Mickey Drexler, who was hired in January 2003 to revitalize the company's brand image, & move it forward into the future.

CASL: One year later
anti-spam, CASL, charities
Commentary on the Latest Developments in Charity Law & Policy led by Deina Warren Associate Director of Legal Affairs
Authored by Nevena Urosevic, Associate Director of Legal Affairs
Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL) is celebrating its first year since coming into effect on July 1, 2014. The Act takes a tough stance on spam, imposing up to $10 million in administrative monetary penalties for one violation of CASL.
There have been three cases adjudicated by the CRTC with reference to CASL in the past year, and while all three of them involve businesses and not charities, they are helpful in terms of general compliance principles.
On March 5, 2015 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a Notice of Violation to Compu-Finder, which included a penalty of $1.1 million for four violations of CASL. Compu-Finder had been sending commercial electronic messages (CEMs) without consent, as well as messages in which the unsubscribe mechanisms did not function properly. According to CRTC's website, Compu-Finder accounted for 26% of all CASL complaints submitted to CRTC between July 2, 2014 and September 16, 2014. According to CRTC, "Compu-Finder flagrantly violated the basic principles of the law by continuing to send unsolicited commercial electronic messages after the law came into force."[i]
On March 25, 2015, the CRTC announced that Plentyoffish Media Inc. (Plentyoffish) agreed to pay a fine of $48,000 for failing to have an unsubscribe mechanism that was clearly and prominently set out, and which could not be readily performed, as required by the legislation. However, once made aware of the investigation by the CRTC, Plentyoffish updated its unsubscribe mechanism to comply with the legislation. As part of the undertaking, Plentyoffish has agreed to develop and implement a compliance program to ensure that its activities are compliant with CASL. The compliance program will include training and education for staff and corporate policies and procedures.[ii]
On June 29, 2015, the CRTC announced that Porter Airlines Inc. (Porter) has agreed to pay $150,000 as part of an undertaking for alleged violations of CASL. The announcement specifically notes that Porter was cooperative and immediately took corrective action to comply with the legislation. The issue in this case was that Porter sent some commercial emails that did not contain an unsubscribe mechanism. In other instances, the mechanism was not clearly or prominently set out. Certain emails did not provide the complete contact information as required by the law. Porter also allegedly failed to honour, within 10 business days, requests from some recipients to unsubscribe from receiving future CEMs.[iii]
Apart from the clear lesson of complying with the provisions of CASL as outlined in Chapter 8 of our Charities Handbook and two bulletin articles found in the Privacy section[iv] of the Member's Resources area of our website, these cases indicate that CRTC is actively reviewing complaints that it receives for alleged CASL violations. Furthermore, the fact that the penalties were applied to a smaller company like Plentyoffish, indicates that CRTC expects every entity to be compliant, no matter how small, and that the size of the business or organization will not exempt it from investigation and compliance. Finally, a proper response to the CRTC will impact the outcome of the matter. Efforts by the organization to comply with CASL prior to a penalty by CRTC, and cooperation and quick actions to remedy any of CRTC's concerns, seem to be factors that will be considered in CRTC's assessment of the situation, levying of fines, and public disclosure of information relevant to the offence.

Copa Airlines margins compressed by continued economic deterioration in Latin America
Copa Airlines has revised its 2016 capacity targets downwards to 2% growth, which is half of the expansion the airline recorded in 2015. The cuts are against a backdrop of the IMF forecasting a 0.5% contraction in Latin America's economy in 2016, which is deeper than the 0.3% decrease in 2015.
Given the effects of Latin America's deteriorating economy on market demand, Copa has cut its margin forecast for 2016. The company is warning that operating margins for 2Q2016 could fall to the low single digits, which is a significant drop from Copa's historical highs.
The company admits that it has little visibility beyond 2Q2016, but believes that unit revenues in 2H2016 will be slightly lower than the year prior. Although conditions remain historically weak, there is some easing of currency depreciation and capacity cuts by other airlines, but it remains to be seen when the benefits of those changing dynamics will materialise.
Tough conditions force Copa to reduce its operating margin guidance for 2016
Copa has one of the most favourable geographical positions in Central and Latin America, using its Panama City Tocumen hub as a connecting point for traffic flows between North, South and Central America. But Latin America's economic weakness has taken its toll on Copa, which has been one the region's strongest financial performers in the airline sector: its profits sank 15% in 2014 and nearly 49% in 2015.
The airline's operating margins in 2015 dropped to 11.8%, after reaching 19.3% in 2014 and 19.8% in 2013.
Copa Airlines operating margin: 2011 to 2015
2012 17.9%
Source: Copa Holdings
For 1Q2016 Copa delivered a 17% operating margin, which was a solid result, but still a 3.3ppt drop from the 20% the airline recorded in the same period a year ago. Copa has further revised its operating margin forecast for 2016, from 11% to 13% to 9 to 11%. If the company reaches the low end of its guidance, it would be the first time that Copa has posted single-digit margins during the last five years.
Copa braces for worsening revenue conditions in 2Q2016
Copa's passenger unit revenues and yields fell 14.5% and 15.% during 1Q2016. Approximately 80% of that weakness is driven by economic conditions in Brazil, Colombia and Latin America, and company executives recently stated that yields in those markets during 2Q2016 were dropping in the double-digit range.
The second quarter is typically one of the weaker times of year for Copa, and its yields and passenger unit revenues for that time period are forecast to be quite weak. The company CEO, Pedro Heilbron, recently told analysts and investors that even as unit revenues will be lower in 2H2016 than the year prior, the airline's performance in that metric during the second half of 2016 should be a 10% improvement over 2Q2016. Generally, that suggests Copa that is bracing for a tough 2Q2016.
Mr Heilbron acknowledged that it is difficult for Copa to offer much visibility into 2H2016, given general economic uncertainty and little predictability in how the airline's competitors will behave.
Copa has observed capacity reductions by Brazilian airlines. LATAM Airlines Group is cutting capacity by 10% to 12% in the Brazilian domestic market during 2016, and also slashing supply between Brazil and North America by 25% in 2H2016. The Brazilian airline Gol plans a system-wide ASK decrease of 5% to 8% in 2016. Approximately 88% of Gol's ASKs are deployed into the domestic market.
See related report: LATAM works to withstand tough conditions through capacity cuts and balance sheet fortification
Mr Heilbron stated that the capacity reductions by Brazilian airlines were a good sign; however, "we have not seen as many reductions in the other markets of South America", he observed.
Recently there has also been some appreciation of Latin American currencies against the USD, said Mr Heilbron, which should also provide some positive momentum for the region's revenue environment. But it is not clear when the industry capacity reductions or currency appreciation will translate into improving unit revenues. At the moment, Latin American airlines are working from an extremely weak base.
Copa trims its capacity guidance, and plans to park more aircraft in the low season
In the light of further economic contraction in Latin America, Copa has revised its capacity growth targets for 2016 from 3% to 2%. Previously, Copa has fielded questions about its capacity growth given Latin America's economic weakness. In 2015 South America, which includes the weakest economies of Brazil and Venezuela, represented 45.6% of Copa's total revenue.
At the beginning of 2016 the Copa management explained that most of the growth is driven by full-year effects from new route launches in 2015, and the upgauging of some routes from Embraer 190s to Boeing 737-800s.

During 2015 Copa added new service from Panama City to: David Enrique airport in Panama; Puebla and Villahermosa, Mexico; New Orleans and San Francisco in the US; and Belize. The company has declared that it will add fewer new destinations in 2016, and so far has only announced new flights to Holguín, Cuba; Chiclayo, Peru; and Rosario, Argentina.
One method Copa is adopting to handle slowing capacity growth in 2016 is to park more aircraft during the low season, said Mr Heilbron. "We are not redeploying that capacity from Brazil to other markets because that would just kind of be exporting the problem from one place to the other," he has said.
Copa's planned 2% capacity growth in 2016 is the lowest since 2010, and is drastically lower than its peak of 24% in 2012.

Copa works to keep its fleet fluid as predicting an upturn proves a difficult endeavour
Copa has also been working to reduce its fleet commitments as general economic conditions in Latin America have worsened. At the beginning of 2016 the airline had planned to defer one aircraft delivery each for 2016 and 2017. For 2016, Copa now plans to end the year with an operating fleet of 99 aircraft, which is one shell less than YE2015.
CAPA's fleet database shows Copa's operating fleet as of 12-May-2016 was 86 aircraft.

Copa Colombia's operating fleet consists of 14 aircraft – 11 Embraer 190s and three Boeing 737-700s.
Copa has also deferred two additional aircraft originally scheduled for 2017, which results in no growth aircraft for the year. The company plans six new deliveries during 2017 and has lease expirations on six jets in its operating fleet.
The airline also has an order for 62 737 Max narrowbodies, and the first deliveries of the next-generation narrowbody are scheduled for 2018. Inherent in the agreement with Boeing are rights for Copa to defer a reasonable number of aircraft "without having to ask Boeing for it", said Mr Heilbron.
He also explained that the Max order is structured to coincide with a number of lease expirations and owned aircraft that are reaching 15 to 20 years of age. CAPA's fleet database shows that Copa owns 65% of its mainline fleet and 28.6% of Copa Colombia's fleet.

If Copa curbs its growth significantly for the foreseeable future, said Mr Heibron, there is a way to accomplish a lower growth scenario without having to renegotiate with Boeing. However, he also stated that Copa has been able to defer aircraft from Boeing in the recent past, and if the airline needs to "do a little bit of that, we are confident that we will be able to continue doing it", he said.
Copa is bound to Latin America's economic weakness as it works to sustain stability
Similarly to some of its larger Latin American counterparts, Copa is taking the necessary steps to handle a tough operating environment, which is underpinned by weak economies in the region that drives the bulk of its revenue – South America.
Unfortunately, the economic crisis is not relinquishing its grip on Latin America, which means that the fortunes of Copa and its airline counterparts in the region will continue to be pressured for the foreseeable future.

Kesha wrote an emotional essay about her first album in 4 years, which is out today
Amanda Luz Henning Santiago
Kemosabe RecordsKesha in the 'Rainbow' music video
After four long years, Kesha released her new album "Rainbow" on Friday, along with a music video for the album's title song.
For the last four years, Kesha had been trying to free herself from her contract with Dr. Luke, her former producer and mentor whom she alleges drugged, and sexually and verbally assaulted her while she recorded with him at Sony. Sony removed Dr. Luke from the company in April, and now Kesha's new album "Rainbow" has been released under his former label Kemosabe — a bittersweet triumph.
In an emotional personal essay penned by Kesha for Refinery29, Kesha describes another part of her onerous journey that the public is a little less privy to: her time in rehab.
Kesha explains that while in rehab for her eating disorder, "that had gotten wildly out of control," she had no access to her phone or computer, and as a result was completely unable to work. Kesha begged for a keyboard of any kind so she could write and process her emotions. Eventually Kesha was allowed one hour a day to play on a keyboard, and thus the song and album "Rainbow" was born:
"Every day I sat there on the floor and played. This is how the song 'Rainbow' came to be. The whole album idea and tour and everything, came from me crying and singing and playing and dreaming until my hour was up and they took the keyboard away again. Every day I would just cry and play that song because I knew I had to get through that incredibly hard time. I knew I had to change and learn to take care of and love myself, and I had no idea how to even begin."
The moving essay explains that the idea of turning "Rainbow" into a full album had become Kesha's main goal while in rehab:
"I just held onto that idea because it was all I had. I just kept saying, 'I'm gonna put out Rainbow, I'm gonna put out Rainbow. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna put it out. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it.'"
The singer's reminders of the goals she had for herself, and the album she wanted to produce, became mantra-like.
Once Kesha left rehab she got to work. The singer enlisted the help of Ben Folds to help her produce the song "Rainbow," and together they created one of Kesha's most un-Kesha-like and moving songs to date. "Rainbow" at its core is an ode to self love and overcoming obstacles.
In her essay, Kesha describes a line in "Rainbow" that probably best encapsulates its meaning, and her message: "There's a line in 'Rainbow' that I really love: 'What's left of my heart is still made of gold.' I truly believe that."
Kesha's album "Rainbow" is out now, and you can watch the music video for "Rainbow" here:

Erich Friedrich Otto Karl Müller (* 30. August 1902 in Münster; † nach 1952) war ein deutscher Jurist in der Kommunal-, Polizei- und Ministerialverwaltung sowie SS-Standartenführer zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. Er war Landrat im Kreis Rees, Chef der Berliner Staatspolizeileitstelle, Leiter der Personalabteilung im Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (RMVP) sowie während des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1942 als Leiter des Einsatzkommandos 12 der Einsatzgruppe D für Massenmordaktionen im Nordkaukasus verantwortlich. Nach Kriegsende tauchte er unter und setzte sich nach Argentinien ab. Müller wurde strafrechtlich nicht belangt.

Herkunft, Studium und Berufseinstieg
Erich Müller war der Sohn des Eisenbahnassistenten Carl Müller und dessen Ehefrau Johanna, geborene Otte. Nach dem Ostern 1922 am Evangelisch Stiftischen Gymnasium Gütersloh abgelegten Abitur absolvierte Müller ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaft an den Universitäten Göttingen, Tübingen und Münster. Nach Ablegung der ersten juristischen Staatsprüfung im Juli 1925 begann er sein Rechtsreferendariat. An der Universität Göttingen wurde er 1926 zum Dr. jur. promoviert, der Titel seiner Dissertation lautete "Die Haftung einer Korporation des öffentlichen Rechts für ihre Beamten in Ausübung privatrechtlicher Verrichtungen". Nach der zweiten juristischen Prüfung war  er ab 1929 Gerichtsassessor. Anschließend war er als Anwalt und Notariatsvertreter tätig. Ab Juli 1931 wirkte er als Staatsanwalt in Essen.

Zeit des Nationalsozialismus

Landrat in Rees
Ein Jahr vor der nationalsozialistischen Machtergreifung trat Müller in die NSDAP ein (Mitgliedsnummer 1.240.093). Mit Beginn der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus forcierte er seine Karriere im NS-Staat. Ab Juni 1933 leitete er zunächst kommissarisch das Landratsamt im Kreis Rees und wurde am 18. Januar 1934 dort definitiv zum Landrat ernannt. Ende Juli 1935 schied Müller auf eigenen Antrag aus dem Amt.

Ab Dezember 1935 war er mit Maria Elisabeth Hoehn verheiratet.

Leiter der Berliner Gestapo
Müller, der ab Januar 1933 bereits für etwa ein Jahr Mitglied der Schutzstaffel war, trat der SS 1935 erneut bei. Durch Reinhard Heydrich wurde er in den Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers SS (SD) übernommen.

Anfang September 1935 trat er als Regierungsrat in die staatliche Polizeiverwaltung Berlin ein. Ab Mitte Januar 1936 übernahm er vertretungsweise die Leitung der Gestapo Berlin und wurde zum Oberregierungsrat befördert. Durch Protektion Heydrichs wurde ihm  Anfang Juli 1936 definitiv die Leitung der Berliner Gestapostelle übertragen. Nachdem die Berliner Stapostelle im März 1937 Staatspolizeileitstelle geworden war, weitete sich Müllers Weisungsbefugnis für staatspolizeiliche Angelegenheiten über Berlin hinaus auf das Umland aus. Anfang Juli 1937 wurde Müller zum Regierungsdirektor ernannt. Wenige Wochen später schied er aus dem Polizeidienst aus und setzte seine Karriere im Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (RMVP) fort. Heydrich, von Müllers Wechsel zum RMVP enttäuscht, konnte dessen Abordnung zum Ministerium jedoch nicht verhindern.

Leiter der Personalabteilung im Propagandaministerium
Im August 1937 wechselte Müller schließlich ins Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (RMVP), wo ihm die Leitung der Personalabteilung übertragen wurde. An die Spitze der Ministerialverwaltung aufgestiegen, nahm er für mehrere Jahre "eine wichtige Schlüsselrolle für das RMVP und seiner Dienststellen" ein. Bereits im November 1937 wurde er zum Ministerialrat und im April 1939 schließlich zum Ministerialdirigenten befördert. Innerhalb der SS stieg Müller im Mai 1939 bis zum Standartenführer auf, seinem höchsten erreichten Rang innerhalb der Allgemeinen SS. Zusätzlich zu seiner Funktion als Leiter der Personalabteilung war Müller als SS-Führer zeitweise Verbindungsführer des RMVP zum Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) und damit "auch erste Wahl als Übermittler, sobald der SS-Apparat Wünsche und Forderungen an das RMVP richtete".

Nach Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges war Müller von Oktober 1939 bis Februar 1940 als Oberst der Geheimen Feldpolizei bei der Wehrmacht und kehrte danach auf seinen Posten im RMVP zurück.

Müllers Wunsch, an einem "Osteinsatz" teilzunehmen, wurde im März 1942 zunächst von Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels abgelehnt. Um sein Vorhaben dennoch umsetzen zu können, nahm Müller Kontakt mit dem Staatssekretär im RMVP Leopold Gutterer und Bruno Streckenbach vom Reichssicherheitshauptamt (RSHA) auf. Müller sollte schließlich "einen wichtigen Beitrag zur polizeilichen Sicherung des rückwärtigen Gebietes und der Nachschubwege im besetzten Ostraum" leisten.  Streckenbach offerierte Müller die Leitung des Einsatzkommandos 12 der Einsatzgruppe D an, was Goebbels schließlich befürwortete.

Leiter des Einsatzkommandos 12 der Einsatzgruppe D
Offiziell zum Februar 1942 und faktisch am 13. April 1942 löste Müller Gustav Adolf Nosske als Leiter des Einsatzkommandos 12 ab. Neben der Durchführung sicherheitspolizeilicher Aufgaben im deutsch besetzten Nordkaukasus trieb Müller dort auch die Umsetzung des Unternehmens Zeppelin voran. Im Operationsgebiet des Einsatzkommandos 12 war Müller für den Massenmord an der jüdischen Bevölkerung verantwortlich. So delegierte er in Woroschilowsk und Pjatigorsk, wo sich auch zeitweise seine Dienststelle befand, im August 1942 "die Planung, die vorbereitenden Maßnahmen, und die eigentliche Durchführung der Exekution" der jüdischen Bevölkerung vor Ort an ihm unterstellte SS-Führer. Die jüdischen Menschen wurden ihrer Wertsachen beraubt, mussten sich ausziehen und wurden danach bei Woroschilowsk erschossen oder wie in Pjatigorsk in Gaswagen ermordet. Müller selbst war der Einsatz von Gaswagen nicht genehm, gegenüber SS-Führern gab er an, das Erschießen als Mordmethode zu präferieren. Auch in den umliegenden Orten von Pjatigorsk ermordete das Einsatzkommando 12 die dort lebende jüdische Bevölkerung. Ebenso beging das Einsatzkommando 12  in  Kislowodsk Kriegsverbrechen; so wurden am 9. September 1942 Patienten und Pflegekräfte des Sanatoriums des Volkskommissariats für Erdölindustrie erschossen. Müller wurde faktisch zum Dezember 1942 von der Führung des EK 12 entbunden. Laut späteren Zeugenaussagen soll er das EK 12 bis November 1942 befehligt haben.

Hintergrund seiner Abberufung war ein Konflikt mit seinem Vorgesetzten Walter Bierkamp, der Müllers Ambitionen, das EK 12 der Waffen-SS zu unterstellen und eigenständiger agieren zu lassen, ablehnte. Müller wurde das Kriegsverdienstkreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern und das Eiserne Kreuz II. Klasse verliehen.

Ausscheiden aus dem RMVP
Nach seinem Einsatz kehrte er im Dezember 1942 wieder auf seinen Posten im RMVP zurück. Der im Herbst 1942 erfolgten Einberufung zur Wehrmacht musste er nicht nachkommen, da er durch das Ministerium unabkömmlich gestellt wurde. Wegen persönlicher Differenzen mit Propagandaminister Joseph Goebbels und dem neuen Staatssekretär Werner Naumann schied Müller 1944 aus dem RMVP aus. Danach wurde er Geschäftsführer bei einem Zeitschriftenverlag.

Nachkriegszeit
Müller setzte sich bei Kriegsende nach Südtirol ab, wo er ebenso wie Adolf Eichmann und Josef Mengele untertauchte und die Rattenlinie nach Argentinien nutzte. Im Mai 1948 erhielt er durch NS-Fluchthelfer in Tramin einen Identitätsnachweis mit dem Aliasnamen Francesco Noelke, geboren am 7. Dezember 1906 in Bozen. Im November 1950 beantragte er in Genua einen Rotkreuzausweis, wodurch es ihm gelang, nach Argentinien einzureisen. In dem Antragsschreiben hatte er angegeben, dass er aufgrund der seinerzeitigen Option in Südtirol wohl die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft habe. In Argentinien betätigte er sich als Berater der Armee. Im Februar 1952 beantragte er die "Richtigstellung seines Namens", was durch ein argentinisches Gericht bestätigt wurde.

Spätestens ab Anfang der 1960er Jahre wurde in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gegen Müller ermittelt. Es gab Hinweise auf Müllers Aufenthaltsort und die Anregung des Bundeskriminalamtes auf Erlass eines Haftbefehls. Am 25. Mai 1971 wurde das Ermittlungsverfahren gegen Müller eingestellt, da die Staatsanwaltschaft am Landgericht München I keine Hinweise auf Tötungshandlungen des EK 12 in Stalino fand. Dabei stützten sich die Ermittlungen unter anderem auf die Aussage von Müllers Vorgänger Nosske. Die Ermittlungen der Zentralstelle im Lande Nordrhein-Westfalen für die Bearbeitung von Nationalsozialistischen Massenverbrechen in Dortmund gaben dahingegen sehr wohl Hinweise auf Tötungsverbrechen durch Angehörige des EK 12 in Stalino, die aber aufgrund des Verfahrensgegenstandes nicht weiter verfolgt wurden.

Im März 1998 forderte die argentinische Regierung die heimische Justiz zur Festnahme von drei NS-Kriegsverbrechern auf, die sie noch im Land vermutete. Auch wurde die Ausstellung internationaler Haftbefehle beantragt. Unter den drei Gesuchten befand sich auch Erich Müller.

I want to extract iso-8859-6

A: you could do: preg_match('/charset="([^"]+)"/',$string,$m); echo $m[1];

Edit: In case all need matching (prompted from other answer) modify like this:
preg_match_all('/charset="([^"]+)"/',$string,$m); print_r($m);

A: The regex you are looking for is:
iso[^"]+

The php code you need is:
<?php
$subject='12a49803-713c-4204-a8e6-248e554a352d_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-6" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 DQrn0Ocg0dPH5MkgyszR6sjqySDl5iDH5OfoyuXq5A0KDQrH5OTaySDH5NnRyOrJIOXP2ejlySAx MDAlDQogCQkgCSAgIAkJICA= --_12a49803-713c-4204-a8e6-248e554a352d_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-6" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 PGh0bWw+DQo8aGVhZD4NCjxzdHlsZT48IS0tDQouaG1tZXNzYWdlIFANCnsNCm1hcmdpbjowcHg7';
$pattern='/iso[^"]+/m';
if (preg_match($pattern, $subject, $match))
echo $match[0];
?>

The output is:
iso-8859-6

A: if you are interested in getting both matches (since you have 2 in the string) and iterate through them you should do something like this.
also i used single quotes to not have to escape the quotes inside the regex. used ridgerunners suggestions aswell.
preg_match_all('/charset="([^"]+)"/', $subject, $result, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($result[0]); $i++) {
    # Matched text = $result[0][$i];

I could never get tired of making Mermaids and Unicorns! There are a million different ways to make these beauties. Keep those mermaid and unicorn requests coming! These cute mermaids were inspired by artwork from LookLookPrettyPaper Be sure to check out her etsy shop for some beautiful clip art!
The mermaid cookies were made using the wet on wet royal icing technique and then outlining details in black once dried. I used black airbrush color with a fine brush to pain on details.

Q: Is flipping a coin 2 times the same as flipping 2 coins at the same time? My teacher asked us this question in class but no one could explain why flipping a coin 2 times in a row is not the same as flipping 2 coins at the same time.

A: When we talk about probability, we need to specify what the sample space and probability measure are.
If we flip the coin two times, then the sample space is $\Omega=\{HH,HT,TH,TT\}$ and the probability is the same for each point in $\Omega$.
However, if we consider flip two coins at the same time, the sample space becomes $\Omega=\{\{H,H\},\{H,T\},\{T,T\}\}$. (unordered pairs)
Then $P(\{H,H\})=P(\{T,T\})=0.25$ bu t $P(\{H,T\})   =0.5$.
Maybe that's why they are different.

A: When it comes to combinatorics, they are not the same.
If you consider the case where you flip both coins at once, the set of events is $\Omega_1=\{HH, HT,TT\}=\{HH,TH,TT\}$ as there is no order (although one could define the meaning of order differently. In this case, the order is determined by when you toss the coin(s)). So the cardinality is $\vert \Omega_1 \vert=3.$
But if  you consider the case where you flip the coins consecutively, the set of events is $\Omega_1=\{HH, HT,TH,TT\}$, thus cardinality is $\vert \Omega_2 \vert=4.$

A: If the coins involved all have equal probability to produce e.g. a head then the probabilistic model of the first situation is also suitable for the second situation.


like figure who supposedly entered the afterlife without dying. Campbell hopes the interloper can show him how to get to the world of the living. He's accompanied by Remington, a boy who can control corpses and has a raven nesting in his head, and the dandy Leopold, an inveterate gambler and carouser who is also the only man in the afterlife with a functional erection. Their journey includes multi-day benders in bars beneath the city, visits to never-ending battlefields, and more.
This underworld is a fascinating city in which people decay, time is currency, and floods constantly rearrange the landscape.
oughly entertaining novel built on H.P.
Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The titular Harrison Harrison lost the lower part of one leg in the same boating accident that killed his father. Now 16, he's moving with his research scientist mother to the Massachusetts town of Dunnsmouth. The other children in school are eerily quiet, the town has no cell phone coverage, and a fish-boy steals his comics. Things go from strange to tragic when his mother is lost in another boating accident two days after moving. Refusing to believe his mother is dead, Harrison investigates with the help of a girl named Lydia and the aforementioned fish-boy, Lub. They encounter enemies including a knife-wielding maniac known as the Scrimshander and a monstrous fish-woman intent on destroying the world. Gregory delivers an enthralling and exciting tale that should intrigue both readers unfamiliar with Lovecraft and longtime fans of the stories. The occasional in-jokes (buoys named after Lovecraft, Poe, King, and Straub, and of course Dunnsmouth itself) are subtle enough to not distract from the rich tale, and the YA vibe ensures a broad audience.
Merriam's interesting premise, a speculative fiction anthology of stories and poems "focusing exclusively on the immigrant experience," isn't matched by the uneven contributions. The highlight is Bogi Takács's "The Tiny English– Hungarian Phrasebook for Visiting Extraterrestrials," which offers a translation for phrases like "Please do not touch me. My tentacles produce a neurotoxin." Tom Greene's "Zero Bar" explores racial tolerance in a future where a child's skin color can be adjusted through gene therapy, creating a dilemma for parents who want their children to grow up without being the victims of prejudice.
Writing from an outline by Drake, Lambshead neatly adapts real history to a science fiction framework in the second novel of the Citizen trilogy (after Into the Hinterlands). Among the far-flung colonial planets of the Cutter Stream, frustration with home rule verges on revolution.
Allen Allenson takes on the role of cap-tain-general and leads a squabbling group of disjointed militias to war. If this sounds familiar, it is because Drake and Lambshead are telling the story of George Washington as a space opera. The authors' adept contrivance of the Continuum, a troublesome energy field that allows interstellar travel but only via light vehicles, allows for ingenious renditions: a battering trip along the Continuum stands in for the crossing of the Delaware, and problematic marsh gases force the army to substitute catapults and knives for pulse rifles during the recreation of the siege of Boston.


Cotswolds Conservation Board's Annual Forum and Management Plan Review Workshop.
AONBs have a statutory duty to produce a Management Plan under the CRoW Act 2000. The Review of the Cotswolds AONB Management Plan to cover the period 2018- 2023 has begun. Management Plans ought to be the single articulation of the public agenda for the protected landscape, integrating national and local policies. The Management Plan review process coincides with the Government's approval to support the Natural Capital Committee's emerging 25 year plan for a healthy natural economy. The review process of the Cotswolds AONB Management Plan therefore is a test bed for the introduction of the concept of Natural Capital and the 25 year plan into the future management of nationally protected landscapes.

Decisive iiNet victory shared by all
The Australian Digital Alliance (ADA) welcomes today's decision by the Federal Court in Roadshow Films v iiNet on copyright and intermediary liability. The decision affirms the importance of ISPs and other providers in the digital economy.
It will benefit the legitimate activities of consumers, educational institutions, libraries, research universities, technology developers, and search engines. To provide further certainty and clarification, the ADA calls on the Federal Government to reform Australia's narrow, impractical and archaic safe harbours defence.
The ADA is a coalition of public and private sector interests formed to promote balanced copyright law.
Members include universities, libraries, schools, museums, galleries, IT companies, and individuals.
Perth based ISP iiNet won a hard fought battle against Hollywood movie studios, who sued for copyright infringement alleging that iiNet failed to take adequate steps to prevent its users downloading and sharing movies and TV. A one word summation of the Court's ruling on this claim would be 'overreaching'.
iiNet did not authorise infringement as it: (a) provided a general internet service not a file sharing service; (b) had no powers to cut off peoples' internet to prevent infringement; and (c) did not encourage infringement.
The ADA is pleased with the extra step taken by the Court to decide that iiNet qualified for the safe harbours defence, which limits the liability of ISPs who are found to authorise infringement. The Court found that iiNet was not required either to pass on notifications alleging its users had infringed copyright or subsequently cut off their internet access.
ADA Chair Derek Whitehead said "the practical impact of the decision for ISPs has been to overrule the copyright industry's demands that they must police the activities of their users." The ruling also provides comfort to almost anyone who provides any form of internet related service, such as cultural institutions that make their collections available online or developers of new technologies whose products have the mere ability to facilitate infringement.
The decision is an important victory for internet users and consumer rights as it rejects calls for arbitrary termination of internet access. Mr Whitehead said, "as a matter of principle, the ADA firmly believes that access to essential services, such as the internet, should not be terminated without the fundamental protection of independent judicial oversight."
This outcome rejects the infamous 'three strikes' procedure, where users are warned about infringement three times and then their internet is cut off. The procedure threatens matters of fundamental importance: freedom of communication, expectations of justice and fairness, access to essential services and the digital economy.
Regardless of the decision in i Net, the safe harbour defence is in urgent need of reform because it only protects ISPs. It must be broadened to protect online service providers, such as hosts of user generated content like YouTube and search engines like Google. The Australian position is inconsistent internationally and ignores the importance of these providers in facilitating the free flow of information. "Australia's narrow and impractical safe harbour defence is a serious impediment to the growth of Australia's digital economy," Mr Whitehead said.

I've been losing sleep again lately. Because of Calvin's restlessness, from either the seizures or the drugs, he's been waking nearly every hour from midnight on. Usually I fall right back to sleep and dream. But last night my thoughts were twirling and drifting, like so many shining minnows in a shifting current, darting to and fro. Glinting images of Roxanna's young daughter, the most innocent of bystanders gunned down last Saturday in Tucson, bathed my mind.
In the darkness of our bedroom, a streetlight's dim golden stencil cast on one wall, I imagined Roxanna and asked myself if she, too, was wide awake envisioning her beautiful girl. I wondered how many scores of thousands of mothers and fathers, their dreams interrupted, might also be reflecting on the same tragic events, contemplating the significance of their own lives, their childrens' lives and what it might all mean. My brother, who lives in Tucson with his wife and young daughter, is most definitely moved by the tragedy—not long ago having planned a business lunch with Christina-Taylor's father. In my traveling thoughts I marveled at the interconnectedness of things, of the slight degrees of separation that link us all to each other—like the infinite sparkling stars adorning the sky—and that now have fused us to this horrific event and to the luminous spirit of one little girl.
It is shockingly evident that Roxanna's life has been transformed by the sudden and brutal loss of her daughter. So, too, has my own life, the lives of her loved ones, of their friends, of the nation's people, the world's masses and perhaps the universe. In the blink of an eye my own existence, and what I know to be true, has been pierced and splayed open to reveal a raw interior. But now I can see into this lesion, and if I look closely perchance I can pluck out some poisonous dart, toxic hate or bitter malice that may have sometime rooted there.
My own child Calvin, like Christina-Taylor Green, through his purity and innocence, his lack of bitter spite, has taught me profound lessons about the simplicity of love and kindness. It seems this mournful incident might also serve as a reminder and underscore the import of showing compassion and empathy for those to whom we are so inextricably linked.
So at night, perhaps we can dream sweetly under our shared canopy of stars and planets and infinite beautiful things.

This group chaired by Alfons Karabuda examined how to improve conditions for creators in music (composers, songwriters, authors) and how creation is affected by other parts of the musical value chain, as well as by society as a whole.
Authors must receive recognition and fair remuneration; their rights and the rights of all involved in music must be protected.
Transparency in the value chain (who gets what for which service) is the key to guaranteeing freedom of choice — what do I want to play? listen to? which publisher is right for me?
New technologies should be explored to facilitate both the creative process and practices of fair remuneration and transparency.
Diversity must to be protected as an indispensable precondition for creativity.
Both "users" and creators/performers should have access to a real musical diversity (i.e., a range of genres).
Female composers are hugely under-represented. Attitudes must change through concrete action, such as the promotion of music composed by women.


In preparation for halloween, I thought I would create a witch.
Yeah, I don't think I'll take any candy from this one. . . Fun!
Thats a good one ! i like her pose and the palette.
She's sort of melting, but I love this style that reminds me a great artist a mate who used to post in here in the past. Great imagination and fantastic image indeed.
I don't like witches or anything halloween for that matter but I have to say this is a very eye catching image - I'd like to see the same technique on another subject.
The stores are trying very hard in pushing the halloween thing here in Oz - and I think they might be winning.
Yeah, speaking of Speggie, I wonder how he's doing. He ran off and put together an amazing website with his quite excellent photography - a talent he had not revealed when he was doing all that expressive painting.
Right, dear D Akey, but he could not conceal his talent for painting and his top class artist soul! Speggie is one of the legendary mates who strolled herein for my and our delight.
She looks kind of sad and lost to me RedSaucers! Maybe she looked in the mirror and got a fright.
Halloween! I love it. Superb detailing!


Science and medicine know some things about human brains. After reading a half dozen scientific papers about memory, I'm not convinced that, through the parameters of science, we know all that much.
Memory has always been a source of fascination. I am a very lucky woman, I have and still do interact with some very brilliant and exceptional minds. From my perspective, each of these minds is/was unique; unique in the way that they approach/approached input, process and output. As far as I'm concerned there is no one kind of genius.
As for myself, my own memory is like a quirky, impish and fiecely loyal friend. Deep in my mind decisions, based on that stored material, are made. Decisions that guide me, decisions that do not reach consciousness.
How do I know that those unconscious decisions exist? Usually I become aware of them as my thoughts and behaviors form patterns. Sometimes, when environmental conditions are conducive, I can actually catch glimpses of that deep place that is the foundation of my existence.
The book I am currently reading is all about memory, science and what science does not know. Dementia is one of the larger themes in the book; the loss of memory is explored. But mostly the book is about what role memory plays in human, and non-human, connections.
I have little experience with dementia. I think my paternal Grandmother may have briefly suffered from dementia, but I don't really know as once she was hospitalized for heart trouble I never saw her again. My maternal Grandparents were entirely themselves until they passed away, as were my paternal and maternal Aunts and Uncles.
Sometimes I worry about my own memory. I mean, how would you know if you had a problem with your memory when your sitting alone in the bush for days on end? Attila laughs.
When I think about it rationally though, I am still able to juggle working at six differing locations for a corporation, run three small enterprises and this journal. As far as I know nothing is really slipping. Feedback from external sources indicate that nothing is really slipping.
If I do lose my memory, I hope the bad goes first and that I am surrounded by positive and caring people. I have the positive and caring people part in my life now.
Today I am remembering to do laundry!

The latest edition of World Poultry discusses whether vaccination is the answer to the recent outbreaks of Avian Influenza or whether the devastating disease is something which we have to learn to live with.
The discussion on how to tackle bird flu has multiple aspects, however, one thing is as clear, biosecurity and early warning monitoring are worth their proverbial weight in gold. This edition of World Poultry focuses on this topic, plus takes a look at turkey production and turkey diseases, especially ORT.
In this edition we present an interview with the new Hubbard managing director Olivier Rochard. He is committed to producing more meat with less feed, within the 'Natural Concept' of Groupe Grimaud. Rochard: "There is no better way of promoting sustainable food production than through the most efficient and robust broilers."
World Poultry also dives into the restoration of hatchability of stored eggs to mitigate the damage caused by poor or prolonged storage of incubating eggs. Our Russia correspondent had contact with researchers who discovered a bacteria, found in the arctic, which has promising characteristics to replace antibiotics.


Manchego was traditionally made from native sheep milk pastured on the high central Plateau of Spain.
It's probably the single most known cheese coming out of Spain (but that's just because we are not familiar with the other terrific cheeses from Spain).
I often ask my workshop attendees to name for me, 3 Spanish cheeses and that almost always ends at Manchego.
Manchego comes from an area that is so hot and dry much of the year, that only this special breed of sheep can coax the nutrition from the dry grasses.
Not surprisingly the breed of sheep used to make the cheese takes its name from the land as 'Manchego'.
It was the Muslim community who inhabited the land from the eighth through the eleventh centuries and dubbed it region Manya, which meant "land without water".
If visiting Spain you will also find many other cheeses similar to Manchego, such as Zamarona (made in a different region and breed of sheep), as well as the many Manchego-like cheeses I see made from ewes milk but outside the classified Manchego region. They all show the typical zig-zag markings of the traditional plaited 'Esparto' grass forms, a well expected signature for this style of cheese.
In my travels through the cheese lands of Europe I do taste a lot of cheese but I must say that some of my favorites are those made from Ewes Milk. Unfortunately where I live here in western Massachusetts there is little milk to be found ... lots of sheep but all for fiber and milking is not something the farms will do. So when I make these it is normally a long trip well up into Vermont for any milk. August 2016 I taught a workshop in PA where they brought in some ewes milk from a local Amish farm for this.
The Manchega sheep's milk has higher fat and protein than other milks as well as more solids (and less water) than cow or goat milk and this tends to be a very unique and different texture from that of cow or goat milk.
Manchego can be made from either pasteurized or unpasteurized milk. The raw milk produced on small farms is considered to be an artisanal cheese.
For those not familiar with Manchego it is a hard buttery tasting cheese with a silky texture from the higher fat of ewes milk. In the mouth it reveals the creamy richness of sheep milk and a flavor that lingers on the tongue.
It has a compact interior but quite brittle like cheddar which will break and crumble if bent.
It shows a rind with the cross hatch marks to represent the traditional plaited grass molds. Most of these are now made of plastic but this distinction is important and probably some of the best branding of any cheese in the world.
The surface tends to be a dark cream color for the younger commercial cheese but a grey/black surface in the more traditional and longer aged cheeses.
The aging process is conducted in high humidity natural caves for a minimum of 60 days.
In April of 2016 I spent most of the month in Spain, beginning with the Spanish National Cheese Festival in Trujillo 'La Feria del Queso' and then visiting cheese makers in several cheese making regions in the west and south of Spain.
I had understood that much of the cheese making in Spain is still done in very traditional ways even being carried into the smaller commercial operations I visited. Such things as using the traditional 'Esparta' grass straps as forms, using traditional 'vells' for rennet (photo on the right), and pressing by hand with light weights or using stone weights for pressing. These were things I found to be quite common and a mutual respect for this traditional production was very evident in my travels.
I had come to realize that Franco's Spain made small scale artisan cheese making on the farm illegal and did not recover from this until the late 1980s. So farm scale cheese making only existed as a clandestine affair for a long time. Therefore traditional cheese making in Spain today is a true snapshot of what cheese making was like 50-60 years ago before the gross commercialization of cheese.
I had taken several workshops with Enric Canut and gotten to know him at the University of Vermont's VIAC program.
Enric is considered to be one of the most knowledgable promoters of Traditional Spanish cheeses and their history and an incredible resource. I love the traditional forms that used to be used for making cheese and the beautiful designs imprinted by them. A plaited grass strap had been used up through the early 20th century in much of Spain and I wanted to find someone still producing them, something I was quickly told I would not find but my persistence won out in the mountains of Grazalema.
Spain has maintained its pastortal highways known as the 'Dehesa'. These are open pastures that are off limits to all but the herds moving seasonally for richer grazing. These are still marked off and can be seen as empty spaces on todays maps.
In talking to many of the shepards they are not used as much these days but I still saw much of this traditional sheparding on a daily basis in the La Mancha region of south central Spain. I really wanted to talk with the shepards and learned more about this, its past present and future.
Manchego cheese making has taken place in this region for thousands of year. Archeologists have found evidence of Manchego cheese production from before the time of Christ when the Iberian peninsula (continental Spain essentially) was still in the Bronze Age.
Other references appear in Cervantes 17th century novel of Don Quixote, Sancho Panza and tilting at windmill fame (still evident on the landscape as shown above).
The early producers of the area were milking the ancestors of what is now the Manchega sheep breed. They have evolved over the centuries to survive the very arid conditions with harsh grazing conditions. These conditions actually account for higher fat than we might expect in the final cheese and hence the richer flavor of Manchego.
The La Mancha plains were also a focus of political dispute for centuries between Northern Christians and Southern Muslims, who fought for control of its pastures.
The Muslims who inhabited the land from the VIII through the XI centuries dubbed it Manya, which meant "land without water".
Eventually, that would translate into Mancha, the name that is used today.
King Alfonso VI conquered and united the region in the XII century and forced the Muslim inhabitants to retreat to the Andalucía region of modern day Spain.
The resultant lack of political stability led, by the end of the century, to the organisation of the area's stock farmers into co-operatives, which in turn brought a stronger regional identity and political and economic power to the agricultural inhabitants.
By the 1600s the efficient use of pasture land led to the decline of stock-farming and the rise of land farming.
By the middle of the 1800s wool production was in decline and as a result cheese and meat production grew.
So much so that by the beginning of the 1900s cheese production dominated the economics of the region primarily with the Manchega sheep supplying the milk. As it grew, the demand for the cheese increased to the extent that larger coops and commercial enterprises developed. However, the demand for Manchego has resulted in industrialisation of production and consequently to a great extent, a loss of quality.
Beginning during the Franco period post WWII, traditional cheesemaking throughout Spain suffered a severe set back when the government directed all milk to the large industrial cheese makers. It was not possible for small farms to make and sell their cheese. Fortunately a few brave soles went underground with their milk and cheese and some of the procedures survived this dark period but it was not until the late 1980s and well into the 1990s that small scale farmstead cheese making has shown as a true revival.
Cheese that has been made for centuries comes with its own list of traditions that made it what it is today and I found that the people in Spain still hold these traditions in the highest regards whether it be their Jamon, Queso, Vino, or other products related to the land.
The people I met in Spain, whether living urban or rural, all seemed to show a great respect for the past.
My research in Spain had been inspired because I feel it is important that we tie these wonderful animals, the land that supports them and the people that make their incredible products together for a more sustainable picture of what sustains us.
The traditional breed of Manchega sheep, mostly because they have adapted to the arid region. These sheep are quite recognizable by a prominant high ridge above their nose.
The pastures that are recognized as the 'Dehesa' are marked out and shown even on modern digital maps. They were originally mapped out for moving the animals to higher and more nutritious pastures hundreds of years ago. Traveling through La Mancha I would see the sheperds moving the flocks both early and late each day. This land is also where the famous 'Black Footed Pigs' known for their famous Jamon still graze on acorns. These pasture highways are so respected even today that the huge city of Madrid stops traffic and allows this Transhuminance or migration of thousands of sheep through its main city streets every year.
In the Spring these pastures are alive with wild flowers but whither up into the dry grass of summer where only the Manchega sheep do well on this. This is a logical and natural way of of using this land which makes it totally sustainable into the foreseeable future.
Finally the process of making the cheese, although it is changing with commercial pressure still has full respect of the consumers. The rennet was originally produced on the farm either from the natural stomach linings of the sheep and in some areas where the sheep were not butchered frequently, the use of the Cardoona (thistle) flower was used as a source of enzymes for coagulation.
Also for pressing cheese, a simple rock was all that was required. I still see this method quite often on the traditional farms. No need for an expensive press and weights for the past generations.
Even the forms that were traditionally used in Spain showed an incredible amount of craftmanship. They were traditionally plaited as long straps from a native grass called 'Esparto'. These were then formed into a circular form to accommodate the amount of curd from the milk which was then hand pressed into these form. Not only does the grass wick moisture from the cheese, but it imprints a zigzag pattern on the sides due to the way they are plaited. This is perhaps one of the oldest example of 'Branding' a product I have seen. I was told that the forms I was seeing at first were old antiques and not used today or even available. I did eventually find a shop owner that had a village elder make a few every year for her and she was thrilled that an American knew what they were.
Of course, this is how it was done traditionally; in large production Manchego production today they no longer use an esparto grass mold but a plastic molds that is designed to imprint this traditional pattern on all Manchego cheese.
