The Covid-19 pivot: How London bars are developing cocktails for delivery
Kate Malczewski
Spirits & Cocktails | People & Places
As bars turn into delivery services in the wake of coronavirus, Kate Malczewski talks to operators to find out how they are having to adapt cocktails, from ingredients to styles
When Fitzrovia bar Liquorette opened its doors in September 2018, its cocktail delivery service was billed as a 'first-of-its-kind offering'.
In the year and a half that followed, the concept of cocktail delivery topped many lists forecasting the next big trends in the drinks industry – 'Soon everyone will be doing it,' Callooh Callay's Richard Wynne told Imbibe in early 2019 – but few bars adopted the approach.
[We choose ingredients] like citric acid instead of fresh lemon and lime and a good sugar syrup that won't separate…
Dave Tregenza
Until now. As Covid-19 has forced businesses to shut their doors for the safety of their employees and guests, more and more of these venues are launching cocktail deliveries to stay afloat, support their staff and maintain brand awareness. From Hackney's The Natural Philosopher, to West Hampstead's Heads + Tails, to The Shrub & Shutter in Brixton, neighbourhood bars around London are, at least temporarily, pivoting – and in the process, they're figuring out what it takes to make cocktail deliveries work.
Getting the liquid right
Unfortunately, like so many other bars shut down by the novel coronavirus, Liquorette isn't currently trading. But its status as the OG of cocktail delivery in London means its bartenders know what appeals most to delivery customers: classics.
'People are looking for security when they're ordering food [for delivery]. You order what you know you like,' says Robyn Wilkie, bar manager of Liquorette.
'People feel that way about cocktails too. You want to know exactly what it is you're getting. It's not like in a bar where if it's not quite to your taste you can send it back.' She notes that Bloody Marys and Strawberry Daiquiris are Liquorette's two most popular delivery cocktails.
Many of the bars stepping into the delivery space as a result of Covid-19 have adopted this approach as well. At Shrub & Shutter, for instance, co-owner Dave Tregenza and his bartenders are offering their takes on a Negroni, a Daiquiri, an Aviation and an Old Fashioned in 200ml glass bottles, delivered on bicycle. 'We've done twists on classics that can keep, using ingredients that won't go off,' says Tregenza.
Citrus should be avoided when it comes to delivery drinks, and classics are the gold standard
He highlights another important requirement of delivery cocktails: a long shelf life. '[We choose ingredients] like citric acid instead of fresh lemon and lime and a good sugar syrup that won't separate… That's how you make a drink that best replicates how the customer would have it at the bar.'
Anna Sebastian, bar manager of Artesian at The Langham, recently forayed into delivery herself when she and her bar team partnered with No3 Gin to batch and bottle cocktails, then drop them off to drinkers across London for free. She agrees that citrus should be avoided when it comes to delivery drinks, and that classics are the gold standard. But she also sees a place for 'bar favourites, for something different'.
Hacha's Mirror Margarita and Three Sheets' French 75, each the well-known signature serve of its respective bar, fit Sebastian's description – and both bars have started to deliver the cocktails in bottles since the coronavirus outbreak began affecting the UK on-trade.
Creating an experience
Even after bars determine which serves are fit for purpose, they still face what is perhaps the biggest challenge of cocktail delivery: guaranteeing that a drink sipped at home is the same quality as one served on-premise.
Once a drink reaches the customer, the bar has no control over important factors such as glassware and serving temperature. Still, bartenders are finding ways to ensure the integrity of the cocktail is preserved. Liquorette's delivery vessels are, unsurprisingly, an excellent example of this – drinks are built directly into a custom-designed canister that also functions as a shaker and strainer, and instructions, ice and garnish are all provided.
For bars putting together delivery systems on the fly, creating bespoke multi-functional canisters isn't an option, but there are simpler methods that can play a similar role.
In the bar, we have the benefit of the music, the lighting, the environment. This is about the labels of the bottles, the way it all looks. It's a whole new way of thinking about a drink
Chris Tanner
In some cases, it's a matter of putting in a little extra work in the bar. For Tregenza, this means all the drinks are shaken before they're bottled 'to give a little dilution and bring out the flavour': '[That way,] if someone at home goes to pour it and they weren't to put it over ice, it's not going to be really overpowering. It's about going through that motion [in the bar], doing a bit of cocktail love before the drink goes into the glass in their home.'
Other times, it's as straightforward as printing instructions for serving on the label. For their soon-to-launch delivery cocktails, the team at Milroy's of Spitalfields' basement bar, The Proofing Room, are developing a range of prebatched and bottled highballs that just require pouring over ice.
'We're looking at providing the ice by partnering with another company,' says Chris Tanner, executive bars manager for Milroy's.
Tanner emphasises that every aspect of the delivered cocktail – the shape of the bottle, the instructions, the ice, the garnish, the liquid itself – is an opportunity to create an experience for the customer, just as you would when meeting them face-to-face. 'In the bar, we have the benefit of the music, the lighting, the environment. This is about the labels of the bottles, the way it all looks. It's a whole new way of thinking about a drink.'
Bars that are currently implementing delivery will undoubtedly experience a learning curve in the weeks ahead. To include ice, or to save the trouble? To deliver independently, or to work with an established service? To offer nostalgic, familiar classics to customers seeking comfort, or to provide them with adventurous drinks since they can't venture out themselves?
'It's the first time we've thought of doing anything like this. We're still figuring out what the best way is,' says Tregenza. 'Everyone is just trying to do things to help everyone else keep alive and sane.'

Before we began our activities, I asked the group some simple open-ended questions. We discussed what kind of evidence might be found at a crime scene, and some of the techniques we thought might be used to find clues and identify suspects.
An enlarged Worksheet 1 for Investigation 3-4 on pg. 152 (separate bones from a human skeleton) onto an 11×17 piece of cardstock, and then I cut out the bones and placed them in baggies for each team.
With Halloween around the corner, there have been a series of thefts in neighboring middle schools – pieces of skeletons from the science labs in each school have been stolen. The police have arrested someone who had a box full of random bones, and our teams have to sort through the bones they are given, reattach what they can to our school's partial skeleton, and then identify which bones don't belong to us and need to be sent on to other schools.
I allowed my scientists to work in groups of up to 5 people. They each had a full diagram of a skeleton from the book, a large sheet with our partial skeleton, and a baggie of bones. Their task was to place as many bones as possible on the skeleton with their tape, and also identify which bones were "extra" and needed to be sent elsewhere. The groups did a great job assembling their skeletons in the time allowed, and most were able to identify at least some of our extra pieces. As a group, we determined that the trickiest bones to place where the arm and leg bones, as some of them were very similar in shape (we had some arm bones placed as leg bones, and vice versa).
Each table received three small containers. One contained a sample of vegetable oil (our control); one contained a sample of "Trim & Terrific"; and one contained a sample of "Fat Buster." I asked each scientist to cut 3 small squares of paper from their brown paper lunch bags. Size did not have to be exact; I did, however, encourage them to make sure the paper was one layer thick and didn't included a fold. We first took a look at our control, the vegetable oil. Each scientist dipped a Q-tip in the oil, and then rubbed the Q-tip on a square of brown paper. [There is no need to go end-to-end on the paper; you just want a good sample of the product rubbed on the paper.] Our group consensus was that the vegetable oil (which we know is high in fat) made the brown paper translucent (see-through). It was easiest to see this result by holding the paper square up to the light and moving our hand behind the paper.
Next step was to test each of the butter samples in a similar way. We made sure we labeled our brown squares as #2 (for Trim & Terrific) and #3 (for Fat Buster) so there would be no confusion about our results. The scientists then dipped separate Q-tips in each of the butter samples, and rubbed the samples in turn on the appropriate brown bag squares. I personally found that the easiest way to notice the difference in results was to then flip the brown bag squares upside down on the table surface. Some of our scientists smeared a bit too much butter on the brown bag swatches, which made the ultimate results less accurate. However, most scientists accurately agreed the "Fat Buster" sample (at 10 grams of fat) was more translucent and thus was our liar with the false labeling.
"Learning from Lipstick" – What's in a pucker?
Photo copies of 5 suspect lip prints. Four fellow librarians and I puckered up, put on some bright lipstick, and kissed a piece of white paper. I then created enlarged color photo copies (enlarged by 200%) and made copies for each group. I also selected one of the 5 lip prints and copied it in black and white, labeling it as the lip print from our crime scene.
At a recent crime scene a napkin was discovered with a pair of lip prints on it. The police asked all five women who were present at the event to leave them with a sample of their lip prints. Our job was to analyze the five lip prints in color and compare it to the the black and white copy of the lip print left at the crime scene to see if we could identify the true suspect.
Now, there are a lot of versions of fingerprinting activities on line. While I used some reference material from the book above, I chose to go with a variation of the fingerprinting activity that uses cocoa powder to make the prints visible. My thinking was that this would be a less messy method than using ink pads. [Wrong!] I think if/when I repeat this fingerprinting activity, I will definitely just use ink pads. It will be ultimately less messy AND the prints themselves will be more visible. I'll explain how the G3 scientists and I approached this activity…and where I think we had some pitfalls. But that's the beauty of experimentation, right? You don't always get the results you want/expect, but you learn and make better plans for future attempts.
I made sure that each group had the materials I noted above. Fingerprints are most visible on a surface if the print ridges themselves have some oil on them. So I suggested that my scientists rub the side of their noses, or their scalps, before pressing finger tips onto the class sheets I passed out. The scientists were instructed to sprinkle cocoa powder onto the print area and gently dust away the excess powder with their brushes. [Pitfall #1: The brushes I bought were cheap and the bristles were a little too stiff. Brushing the prints actually smeared any evidence of fingerprints.] When the brushes weren't working well, I suggested that the scientists gently blow the excess cocoa away from the prints. As you can imagine, there were a few clouds of cocoa drifting around the room…(but at least it smelled really good!).
Interesting fact: Dogs' noseprints can be used to identify dogs just like fingerprints can be used to identify humans. Each dog's nose print is unique!
When a print was exposed, the scientists were instructed to use clear (not transparent) tape and lay it directly on top of the print. The tape is then pulled up and placed sticky-side down on a piece of white paper. [If you use corn starch, you would lay the tape with print onto a piece of DARK paper so the white would stand out.] I had placed magnifying glasses at each table so the scientists could evaluate their prints better. [Pitfall #2: The cocoa powder did not accentuate the prints enough, and combined with my low-end magnifying glasses, it was very difficult for the scientists to evaluate their own prints.] A few scientists had prints they could look at, and most of them were actually pleased simply with the fact that they were able to transfer a print from the glass to the paper for evaluation (despite the fact that they couldn't see any of the patterns clearly). Still, in the future I will definitely use ink pads since the prints will be much clearer and easier for the scientists to evaluate.

India to hold meeting with Iran, Russia to implement International North South Transport Corridor
November 5, 2018 - 13:23
NEW DELHI - India has not only been engaged in tough negotiations to secure a waiver from U.S. sanctions for its oil imports from Iran but has also explored mechanisms to secure its interests in the strategic Chabahar Port should Washington decide not to exempt the project from the curbs.
In the backdrop of Iran's significance as a key gateway to Eurasian region, India will hold a ministerial-level meeting with Tehran and Moscow this month to implement the much-delayed International North South Transport Corridor (INSTC).
ET has learnt that Indian officials held detailed discussions with the U.S. on the one hand and with Iran-Afghanistan on the other to continue and expand its presence at Chabahar Port.
The U.S. hasn't committed to granting a waiver for the use of Chabahar port by India and Afghanistan. While the port does not yield revenue for Iran from the sale of oil, the Indian entities involved in expanding the port complex will not find it easy to function if it comes under sanctions. During the past month, India has looked at ways to safeguard its interests at Chabahar Port if no waiver is granted for the project, which is New Delhi's key gateway to Afghanistan. Kabul is also a party to the project through a trilateral mechanism.
Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, while addressing an Indo-Pacific connectivity meet here on Thursday, minced no words in announcing that India will continue to use Chabahar Port as part of its wider Indo-Pacific connectivity project. It is understood that hard negotiations by India and its refusal to be threatened by sanctions led to the U.S. waiver for oil purchased from Iran for the next few months for the country and seven other consumers as well.
However, engagement with Iran is significant also in pursuance of India's strategic interest in the wider Eurasian region, sources pointed out. A ministerial-level meeting for implementation of INSTC, the first of its kind in many years, is likely to be held in Russia in the fourth week of November, ET has learnt. INSTC is the shortest multimodal transportation route linking the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf via Iran to Russia and Europe, according to officials here.

Q: Good approach for my specific issue I wrote a client(android smartphone)-server(java)-program.
It's just for practice and till now I am just sending a string to the server saving it to a file.
Currently I want to implement a new feature sending my gps coordinates every 5 minutes to my server and saving it.
For this I'd set up a AlarmManager receiving a broadcast every 300000ms (or 5 minutes).
When receiving a broadcast I wanted to establish a connection to my server:
AlarmReceiver.class:
    public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.e("alarmReceiver","received alarm");
        MainActivity activity = (MainActivity) context;
        activity.cConnect = new ConnectionThread(activity.clientServer, activity.out);
        activity.cConnect.start();
    }

}
ConnectionThread.class:
    public class ConnectionThread extends Thread {

    Socket clientServer;
    BufferedWriter out;

    public ConnectionThread(Socket clientServer_, BufferedWriter out_) {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        this.clientServer = clientServer_;
        this.out = out_;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.run();
        try {
            clientServer = new Socket(MainActivity.dstName, MainActivity.dstPort);

            out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(clientServer.getOutputStream()));
            out.write("alarm received"); //currently just sending this string
            out.flush();
            out.close();
            clientServer.close();
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Where in my MainActivity.class I declared the following:
protected static String dstName = ...
protected static int dstPort = ...
public Socket clientServer;
public BufferedWriter out;
private AlarmManager alarmMgr;
private static int repeatAlarmEvery = 30000;
private static int firstAlarmAfter = repeatAlarmEvery;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);...

My Problem is, that I am afraid I am trying to transmit a text while my AlarmReceiver received a broadcast and already has established a connection on the same port.. So I decided to have only one socket-object called clientServer and this way I can check if clientServer != null -> do not establish a new connection, instead use the existing one.
But trying to run the my client-program on my emulator I am getting following error:
06-03 19:24:29.969: E/AndroidRuntime(2186): Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: android.app.ReceiverRestrictedContext cannot be cast to com.example.clientservercommunication.MainActivity
06-03 19:24:29.969: E/AndroidRuntime(2186):     at com.example.clientservercommunication.AlarmReceiver.onReceive(AlarmReceiver.java:14)

What I think/see is that the context received by the broadcast is restricted and I am not allowed to cast it to my activity MainActivity. So I am not able to access clientSocket and out from MainActivity.class.
Now I have two solutions in mind:
1) Declaring clientSocket and out static.
2) Establish a different connection (different port) for text transmitting avoiding conflict between transmitting text and gps coordinates. e.g. text transmitting port 50000, gps data transmitting on port 50001
Question:
Which one is the better(regarding memory leak if there could be any etc., not regarding opinion e.g. because I like the solution better etc.)/ more common approach or is there any better design pattern/solution to achieve what I want.
It is very important for me to get support about the right pattern because I am sick of trying it without enough background knowledge running into tons of problems. Hope I described my issue well.

As most of you know, the $$ system is not working and likely we won't see one for quite some time. A few different people have mentioned that they would like to get a hold of a "Giver System". So here is a simple Menu Driven system that I whipped together and releasing into the Wild.
!!! THIS IS NOT A VENDOR !!!
Menu Pages = 2. with >> or << buttons.
// The names for Different Inventory Types so you can adjust according to your need.
// A few basic colours for the Hover Text to display.
Regarding giving Scripts! DON'T ! If you want to give out scripts, place them in Boxes and put the boxes in your Giver System. Imagine 20 scripts running in one Prim. Not a Good Idea !
// may assist you at their discretion.
// - This only handles 22 items for the menu.
// INVENTORY_SCRIPT removed. Would be BAD to have scripts in a giver system.
Good Luck and Happy Giving !
set scripts to Not Running is unreliable in OpenSim, in addition to Regions restarts and a myriad of other things.
It is just good sense to not include "open scripts" in any giver that is not inside a package.


The shows are attended by family historians, societies and genealogical organisations. The MOD stand, supported by Restore plc, will be staffed by a DBS team, with colleagues from the Air Historical Branch and Restore plc.
The MOD continues to hold all service records where the individual had a discharge date of post 1921, these total around 10 million records, with about 500,000 having seen service in World War 1. Subject to access to the database that supports the MOD's main archive, an assisted search facility will be offered that will in many cases enable confirmation of whether the MOD holds a record for an individual. This information can then be used to apply for the record using the forms on Gov.uk. To assist the search, some or all the following information is required: surname, initials, date of birth and service number.
RAF casualty packs from World War 2 are being transferred from the MOD to The National Archives. Using the MOD's archive and cataloguing database, an assisted search facility will enable identification of the pack that may relate to an individual. This information can then be used to either access the pack at The National Archives, or, for those yet to be transferred, apply for details from the pack using the forms on Gov.uk. To assist the search, the following information is required: the name of the individual(s), date of incident and type of aircraft.
MOD have commenced a project to digitise the application process. Come and see the latest version and have a go!
Get over the hurdles in your research, consider the unconsidered.

Giveaway: THE CROODS Blu-Ray & Belt Plush!
Staff Contributor
On October 1, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will bring DreamWorks Animation's THE CROODS home on Blu-Ray and DVD. To celebrate the release of this new tale of a Father's love for his Daughter, 20th Century Fox and The Rock Father are giving readers a chance to win a limited-edtion Blu-Ray, complete with a Plush Toy of Belt, the lovable sloth from the film. Additionally, we'll take a quick look at some other cinematic Dads and Daughters below…
Special Feature: DADDY DEAREST
The relationship between a father and his daughter is a very precious thing. Some of the most touching scenes from movie history are the loving moments between dads and daughters. In The Croods, we watched as Eep and Grug slowly come to realize how much they truly love each other. Take a look at five of the most memorable dad and daughter moments in movie history.
Join the Croods on the journey of a lifetime in the epic comedy-adventure that "has the magical wonder of How To Train Your Dragon" – Jake Hamilton (Fox-TV). When their cave is destroyed, the Croods set out to explore a spectacular landscape filled with fantastic creatures, strange surprises…and a whole new world of adventure!
Eep and Grug – THE CROODS
Teenagers always go through that phase of life where they feel that they are being smothered by their parents. Eep is definitely feeling these emotions when her over-protective dad keeps her under tight boundaries. But it turned out that Eep and Grug were more alike than they realized. Eep's heart is broken when she thinks she lost her opportunity to tell her dad how much she loves him. In a very memorable moment, Eep and Grug are reunited and our hearts melt as we watch them embrace in a great big word that rhymes with Grug… a hug!
Charlie & Bella Swan – THE TWILIGHT SAGA
Throughout the Twilight saga, there are multiple adorably awkward father-daughter moments shared between Charlie and Bella. Charlie may not always know exactly what he is doing, but there is no denying that he is an excellent father! Our favorite Charlie and Bella memory is the day of the wedding. Before heading off on her honeymoon, Charlie tells Bella how much she means to him and the two share a meaningful moment.
Bryan and Kim Mills – TAKEN
Every girl wants a father who makes them feel safe and is willing to protect them from any kind of harm that comes their way. Bryan Mills represents the ultimate dad in Taken and Taken 2 as he takes down anyone who comes between him and his daughter. Kim is lucky to have such a fierce father figure in her life and their relationship benefits from the difficult situation that she faces.
George & Annie Banks – FATHER OF THE BRIDE
In Father of the Bride, George might be having a hard time giving up his little girl, but in the end he accepts the wedding as a reality and the two have a major bonding moment. On the night before her wedding, Annie and George play basketball in the driveway and hundreds of female viewers thought back to the times they played sports with their dad as a kid.
Graham, Sophie, and Olivia – THE HOLIDAY
Being a single dad and raising two daughters is no easy task. In The Holiday, Graham seems to be one of the greatest single parents we've ever seen. From being Mr. Napkin Head with his two adorable daughters to building a dreamy tent with fluffy pillows and hand-cut stars, Graham goes the extra step to make sure Sophie and Olivia have a great childhood. We love the moment when we find out that the father and his daughters call themselves "the three musketeers."

1. Austin Hill ($9,300) — The best plate racer of 2022 is Austin Hill. He won the season opening race at Daytona and finished second at Atlanta. This is not a fluke. Hill won a Truck Series race at Daytona in 2019.
2. AJ Allmendinger ($9,700) — Normally, kicking off the season's plate races with finishes of second and third would be the best in the series, but Austin Hill has been hotter. Either way, Kaulig Racing and Allmendinger are up to their old plate racing tricks.
3. Ty Gibbs ($10,500) — The last we heard from Gibbs, he was explaining why he had to get into a fist fight with Sam Mayer. The last time he won, that was not too long ago. It was in March at the new Atlanta track that features plate track pack racing.
4. Noah Gragson ($10,300) — Between 13 races at Talladega and Daytona, Gragson has finished 11th or better nine times. His average finish in those nine races is sixth. At Talladega, Gragson has finished 11th or better in five of his six races.
5. Justin Allgaier ($9,500) — New Atlanta did not work out for Allgaier (34th), but Allgaier has a top-5 finish in each of the last three traditional plate races.
Refer a friend and get $20 DK Dollars! Head to the DraftKings Playbook Promo page for more details!
6. Daniel Hemric ($9,900) — The Kaulig Racing plate track magic has not rubbed off on Hemric yet, but it's only a matter of time. The rest of the Kaulig cars have been fine at the plate tracks this season, so hopefully they will share some of that fairy dust this weekend.
7. Riley Herbst ($8,500) — Talladega is a great opportunity for Herbst to get his first career win. He's been one of the best plate racers this season with fourth-place finishes at Daytona and the new Atlanta.
8. Landon Cassill ($8,800) — The old Landon Cassill is dead. Long live the new Landon Cassill. Kaulig Racing has revived his career just like they did A.J. Allmendinger's career. They're the Quentin Tarantino of NASCAR. Cassill finished second at Martinsville! A win is for sure happening this season.
9. Sheldon Creed ($8,600) — He hasn't been as white-hot at the plate tracks as his RCR teammate, Austin Hill. Still, finishes of ninth and sixth at the plate tracks this season are strong. It seems that Creed has wrecked everywhere but the plate tracks.
10. Sam Mayer ($9,200) — Although some fans might support Mayer after Martinsville, his aggressive driving riled some feathers in the garage. Plate racing can be difficult for a driver that is not trusted or liked. Besides the driving, it's hard to trust a kid that is crazy enough or dumb enough to fight someone that is wearing a helmet.
11. Drew Dollar ($8,000) — The No. 18 JGR car always gets ranked regardless of the driver. Drew Dollar was a mess driving for KBM in the Truck Series in 2021. This season kicked off with two wrecks in one day at Daytona (ARCA and Xfinity). Dollar does have an ARCA win at Talladega (2020).
12. Ryan Sieg ($7,400) — This has been Ryan Sieg's best season to date. It goes without saying that he must have raced well in the two plate races if he's having a good season. Sieg earned a top-10 finish in both plate races.
13. Brandon Brown ($7,300) — The last Xfinity Series race at Talladega is the rare occasion where the race is meaningless to NASCAR fans, but a cultural moment for the United States. After steadily improving his Talladega finishes race by race from 15th to 11th to 10th to 7th, Brown won the fall 2021 race. You probably remember the rest.
14. Jeffrey Earnhardt ($8,200) — If the sentimentality builds to a crescendo, then this is definitely a fade. An Earnhardt is driving an RCR car for the first time in a long time, and Jeffrey will be in the No. 3 car. It's also a plate track where he has a chance to win just like his legendary grandfather. How do you fade this?
15. Josh Berry ($10,100) — Last fall at Talladega, Berry subbed for Michael Annett in the No. 1 JRM car. He was in second place as the laps were winding down when the leader wrecked. Berry only suffered minor damage, but he needed to pit. Before he could work his way back to the front, the race was ended due darkness.

Andreas Schlüter (1659 – c. Junio 1714) era un escultor barroco y arquitecto alemán, activo en el Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico, la República de las Dos Naciones, y el Zarato ruso.

Biografía

Andreas Schlüter nació probablemente en Hamburgo. Su primeros años son tan desconocidos que al menos tres personas diferentes están documentadas con aquel nombre. Los registros de la iglesia de St. Michaelis, de Hamburgo muestran que un Andreas Schlüter, hijo del escultor Gerhart Schlüter, había sido bautizado allí el 22 de mayo de 1664. Documentos de Danzig/Gdańsk (Prusia real) informó que un Andreas Schlüter (padre) había trabajado desde 1640 hasta 1652 en el carril Jopengasse de Danzig (hoy ulica Piwna). Posiblemente nacido en 1640, un Andres Schliter está registrado como aprendiz el 9 de mayo de 1656 por el gremio masón. Otras fuentes lo sitúan en 1659 como el año de su nacimiento.

Probablemente pasó varios años en el extranjero como oficial. Su primer trabajo, en 1675, puede haber sido los epitafios de los Duques Sambor y Mestwin en el domo del monasterio Pelplin.

La primera obra conocida de Schlüter fue la decoración de la fachada de la Capilla Real de Danzig en 1681. Más tarde creó estatuas para el Palacio de Wilanów de Juan III Sobieski en Varsovia y esculturas sepulcrales en Żółkiew (Zhovkva). En 1689, se mudó a Varsovia e hizo los relieves del frontón y la obra escultórica del Palacio Krasiński.

Schlüter fue invitado a Berlín en 1694 por Eberhard von Danckelmann para trabajar como escultor de Tribunal en el Zeughaus para el elector Federico I de Prusia. Sus decoraciones esculpidas son una obra maestra de expresión barroca y patetismo. Si bien los relieves más visibles en el exterior tuvieron que alabar la lucha, las estatuas de guerreros moribundos en el interior denunciaron la guerra y dieron una indicación de sus creencias religiosas pacifistas (se dice que fue Menonita). Viajando a través de Italia en 1696, estudió el trabajo de maestros como Michelangelo Buonarroti y Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Schlüter también había trabajado como arquitecto y había construido muchos edificios estatales en Berlín en su función como "Hofbaumeister" (Arquitecto de Tribunal), el cual perdió cuando una torre mostró señales de débiles fundaciones. Él también sirvió como director de la Academia de las Artes de Prusia de 1702 a 1704, después de la cual se empiece a concentrar en la escultura otra vez, como "Hofbildhauer" (Escultor de Tribunal). Su más importante estatua ecuestre fue la escultura que le hizo al "Gran Elector", Federico Guillermo I de Brandeburgo, lanzado en 1708 y colocado en el "Lange Brücke" se acerca el Palacio de Ciudad del Berlín, ahora situado en el tribunal de honor antes conocido como Palacio de Charlottenburg.

El Palacio de la Ciudad del Berlín, y muchos de sus trabajos, fueron parcialmente destruidos por los bombardeos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y por el régimen Comunista subsiguiente. Un destino similar probablemente sucedió con la cámara de Ámbar, hecho entre 1701 y 1709, La obra arquitectónica más famosa de Schlüter.

En 1713 Schlüter alcanzó la fama al trabajar para el Zar Pedro el Grande en San Petersburgo, donde muere de una enfermedad después de crear varios diseños. Junto con Johann Friedrich Braunstein, diseño el Palacio Magnífico y Palacio Monplaisir en el Complejo del palacio Peterhof. También el edificio más viejo de la ciudad, el salón Kikin, y los alivios en el Palacio de Verano son atribuidos a él. De este modo que el devenga en una figura importante del Barroco petrino.

UH Projects A $28 Million Deficit In A Billion-Dollar Budget
Nonprofit News Powered By Michael Dau Alan Hoffman Jane Lee Lee Karen Benz Scarvie Lorraine Ward Readers Like You
The spending plan approved by the Board of Regents won't shrink an $848 million maintenance backlog. In fact, that will keep growing.
By Blaze Lovell / August 17, 2018
The University of Hawaii is projecting a $28 million deficit for the current fiscal year due partly to work that will merely limit the growth in an $848 million maintenance backlog.
The statewide system would cover the projected deficit spending out of its reserves, which could have an ending balance of $235.3 million.
The UH Board of Regents unanimously approved a $1.1 billion spending plan Thursday morning for the 2019 fiscal year that began July 1. Over $35 million of that spending plan will be for maintenance.
But that won't reduce the $848 million maintenance backlog that UH has accrued; it'll just limit its growth, UH budget chief Kalbert Young told Civil Beat.
The University of Hawaii Board of Regents approved a $1.1 billion projected spending plan Thursday.
In fact, UH would actually have to spend about $95 million each year to keep its maintenance backlog from growing, said Simeon Acoba, one of the 15 regents.
UH has seen declining enrollment since 2012, although that is expected to level out.
While systemwide enrollment is down, UH West Oahu is trending up. The flagship Manoa may see its largest freshman class ever, UH President David Lassner said Thursday. However, enrollment figures will not be released until September.
Enrollment was about 81,716 in 2015. That dropped to 75,020 last year.
Young said the deficit could be significantly smaller than the $28 million projected in budget documents should UH see an uptick in enrollment and other revenue sources, which it is hoping for.
He also said the projected deficit is so high because UH is supposed to budget conservatively.
"I don't want to say its a worst-case scenario, but we want campuses to identify risk factors and how those affect spending," Young said.
For example, UH Hilo is projecting a 6 percent decrease in enrollment this year because of the Kilauea eruption.
Though this is the highest projected deficit in the past four years, Young said the system is on a path to better financial health.
Still, the new budget projects a $20 million revenue increase systemwide, nearly a 2 percent hike. Student fees would account for $2.2 million of that.
In 2016, the regents approved a 2 percent tuition hike for the 2018-2019 school year for Manoa and community college students in lower division classes. Students at UH Hilo, West Oahu and upper division classes at community colleges will see a 1 percent tuition increase.
State Sen. Kai Kahele introduced a bill during the last legislative session that would have frozen tuition and linked it with the state median for household income. Senate Bill 2329 died in a committee.
The Athletics Department is projecting a $4.3 million deficit, over $1 million more than last year. The department, which has run deficits for at least the past three years, lost $596,000 in revenue compared to the last fiscal year while being required to spend about $765,000 more for travel and football, among other costs.
Where The Spending Is
The Manoa campus will spend about $29 million this fiscal year on what Young calls one-time maintenance expenses.
Most of that will be for renovation and refurbishment for faculty and student housing. Hale Aloha, Ilima and Lehua need boiler replacements, and Hale Aloha is also getting some air conditioning replacements, according to budget documents.
About $3.1 million will be spent on railing and fire alarm replacements alone. The Campus Center will get about $12.7 million worth of modernization upgrades.
Manoa's Hale Aloha dorms will get upgrades this fiscal year costing millions of dollars.
The UH system's seven community colleges will share about $4.5 million for maintenance and repairs at their campuses, the three largest of which are on Oahu.
UH Hilo will need to spend about $2 million for repairs to its buildings.
Total payroll expenses for UH employees systemwide is expected to go up by about $20.5 million due to collective bargaining increases, according to the budget documents.
The regents also unanimously approved a budget request for 2020 and 2021 to cover capital improvement projects.
Lawmakers approved about 38 percent of UH's last capital improvements budget request, said Jan Gouveia, vice president for administration.
The capital improvement funding request still needs to be transferred to the governor's office before going to the Legislature next session.
UH requested $216.6 million for 2018 and $269.7 million for 2019. It got about $279 million total for those years. The new request will be for $295 million in 2020 and $319.5 million in 2021.
Projects that UH could complete if it gets full funding include:
A $41 million Student Success Center at Manoa
A Life Sciences Building at Manoa
Replacing Kuykendall Hall, a classroom building at Manoa
Renovating Keller and Holmes Halls, which house physical science and engineering departments at Manoa
Improving UH Hilo's pharmacy lab and modernizing its campus
Constructing a General Education Building for teacher preparation at UH West Oahu
Developing a new community college on Hawaii Island
Constructing a science building at Honolulu Community College
An agripharmatech facility at Windward Community College

The love, enthusiasm and commitment stome masons have for their trade is what keeps this old-fashioned form of sculpting and building alive. I remember a buddy who emigrated from Germany to the UK. Each and every time he wanted to build anything on his property he employed stonemasons from Germany since he loved stonework and needed the job carried out by stone crafters that he knew were great at their profession.
To masons, the stonemason skill is more than simply creating a stone structure, it is science and a type of living art that requires communication between man and stone. Stonework extends back to the 5,000-year-old dry-stack walls of Great Britain along with the great pyramids of Egypt. Today the craft has recovered some popularity because of the greater accessibility to stones and technologies that will make shaping and fitting them easier. Unfortunately, it is also these same technologies and also modern building codes that are threatening to finish the actual craftsmanship of stone masonry that requires cutting manually and placing every individual stone in a manner that generates a structure that is extremely stable without the use of mortar.

Forensics officers examined a garage where arms were found in Coalisland, County Tyrone
Police in Northern Ireland are continuing to question a 26-year-old man arrested in Scotland in connection with the murder of Constable Ronan Kerr.
Mr Kerr, 25, was killed when a car bomb exploded in Omagh on Saturday.
The man was held in West Dunbartonshire on Wednesday and has been taken to Northern Ireland for questioning.
Police have said the arrest is linked to a weapons find in the Coalisland area of east Tyrone on Tuesday evening.
The man was arrested in Renton and is said to have been working in the area.
He is being questioned at Antrim PSNI station.
Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton of Strathclyde Police said the arrest was made at the request of the PSNI.
"Needless to say we were acting in support of them at their request, and given the tragic circumstances leading up to this, we were happy to do this, and to make the arrest on their behalf under the terrorism act," he said.
Speaking at a news conference at police headquarters in Belfast, Assistant Chief Constable Drew Harris, said the weapons were found on Tuesday night inside stolen cars in a garage at Mountjoy Road in Coalisland.
The weapons included four rifles, detonators, component parts for rocket launchers, incendiary bombs and explosives, possibly Semtex.
"Everyone in Northern Ireland is very much safer today because these munitions have been taken out of circulation," he said.
ACC Harris said the find was "the most significant in recent years".
The arms found were:
•Four Kalashnikov rifles
•Six loaded ammunition magazines
•Timer power units
•Detonators
•Incendiary bombs
•Components for rocket launchers and other explosive devices
•Quantity of explosives, possibly Semtex
Police said the items were being "fast-tracked for forensic examination" and formed one line of inquiry in the Ronan Kerr murder investigation.
"The seizure was made in a garage unit on the Mountjoy Road. Inside the unit, police officers uncovered a number of stolen vehicles and inside those vehicles, a significant amount of arms and munitions," ACC Harris said.
"This investigation into Ronan's murder will continue in the coming days and weeks with the same determination and professionalism which resulted in last night's discovery."
Anne Murphy lives near to where the explosives were found, and said there had been a major police operation.
"It really took off about six o'clock on Tuesday evening," she said.
"I've never seen anything like it before, in the amount of resources that have been in the area.
"There have been jeeps, there have been mini-buses, large vans, with possibly forensic vehicles included.
"They've been here continuously, manning the place. The area's been blocked off."
