Unicorns and Rainbows
(Note; I've added an important post script regarding
four of the bottles addressed in this article)
Historical research was somewhat elusive for most until the advent of the internet. Research generally required hours of travel to State Archives or libraries, which held vaults full of often mis-categorized paperwork, and then more countless hours literally digging through file drawers of this and that, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, much like trying to connect random dots.
Hence, early books often contained a myriad of false information. As a relative of Bill Wilson (co-author of Spirits Bottles of the Old West) once told me; he'd spend hours at the archives in Sacramento going through the files and looking at old labels in an attempt to document a certain brand, agency, or proprietor. But, if he couldn't find "it", he'd just pull something out of his ### and figure it was up to someone else to disprove it. Innocent enough, but detrimental to the hobby just the same. Same goes for Dr. Julian Toulouses "Bottle Makers and Their Marks". Among other glaring errors, he "documented" the now infamous H base mark, which he attributed to a non-existent Holt Glass Works. Again, innocent enough, but still a problem.
Recently, there has been much discussion about what constitutes a "western bottle". The general consensus arrived at is that a bottle is truly "western" if; it was blown in the west and intended for distribution solely by a western concern. An exception would be if a bottle was blown in the east for a western concern, and intended for distribution solely in the west, by a western concern. The same basic criteria applies to a "Nevada" bottle.
An article appeared in the current issue of the FOHBC's magazine, "Bottles and Extras ". The article, starting on page 33, was entitled "Nevada Backbar Bottle Bonanza", by Jennifer "Nevada" Jacobitz, James D. Jacobitz M.D., and Jon Aurich Jr.
https://issuu.com/fohbc/docs/september_-_october_2016_rev_3
I read the article in awe, thinking that this was more a treatise on "Unicorns and Rainbows" than it was a well researched, factual presentation on western whiskeyana.
As I delved deeper into the article, I thought to myself "what were these people smoking"? And then it dawned on me, the timing of the article was strangely coincidental (or not) to the offering of the Nevada collection of the legendary "Smilin' " Bob Ferraro. Was this a merchandising ploy? Then again, maybe this was simply a tongue in cheek attempt to bamboozle collectors. After all, they couldn't possibly be serious...
The article contained references a total of fourteen supposedly "new and unknown Nevada back bar bottles". A total of six were "enameled" with the balance being copper wheel cut. After a few days of research, I've assembled the following hard facts about the bottles listed. They are as follows;
1) Old National - allegedly National Nevada. Fact; Old National was registered to BERNHEIM BROS. of Louisville, KY. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
2) Middletown Golden Rye - allegedly Divide, Nevada. According to the article, a generalized reference to the area located between VC and Gold Hill. The town of Divide was actually located in the southern part of Nevada, just south of Tonopah. Talk about a stretch here... Unable to locate a MiddletoWn link to any particular distiller or wholesaler, although CHARLES L. RICHARDSON & SON of Boston, MA. had Middleton registered to them ca. 1900. Another reference suggested that Wire-Welsh & Co. in New Middletown Ohio also owned rights to the brand, although I was unable to verify this. Regardless, it is NOT a Nevada bottle.
3) Middletown Golden Rye (#2) - see #2 above. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
4) Columbia Rye / C. Thomas - allegedly Pioneer, Nevada. Columbia Rye was registered to two separate firms at different times; COLUMBIA WINE & LIQUOR CO. of Albany, NY. and MORRIS LASKY Baltimore, MD. The small camp named Pioneer Nevada, located in the Bullfrog District, dated ca. 1908 (burned 1909 & rebuilt) - ca. 1916. I found no reference to the presence of a saloon (although it undoubtedly had one) and or a C. Thomas in the camp. Jury is still out but most probably, NOT a Nevada bottle. (According to Eastley research this is a Nevada bottle - see below)
5) Bon Ton - allegedly Tuscarora, Nevada. The "Bon Ton" brand was registered to Strauss - Pritz & Co. of Cincinnati, OH. The faceted bulbous style back bar decanter is in keeping with east coast back bar decanters. Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
6) International Hotel - allegedly Virginia City (VC), Nevada. The International Hotel, originally located at C Street and Union, was built ca. 1860. Later a larger International Hotel was erected at B Street and Union. It burned and was rebuilt on the same sight, with the final building going to the ground for good thanks to a fire on December 12, 1914. There is a possibility that this bottle dates to the third and final incarnation of the International Hotel in VC. (however, a quick internet search reveals that just about every large city from east coast to west, had an "International Hotel" prior to 1900). (According to Eastley research this is a Nevada bottle / however it is linked to Austin and not VC - see below)
7) Hermitage - allegedly Gold Hill, Nevada. The brand was registered to W. A. Gaines & Co. of Frankfort, KY. The nearest reseller of the brand that I could locate was John Sroufe of San Francisco, who had rights to it ca. turn f the century. Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
8) Hermitage (#2)- see #7 above. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
9) Tahoe Whiskey / Old Globe - allegedly Carson City, Nevada. Unable to locate a pre-prohibition "Tahoe Whiskey" or "Old Globe" (in any context) link to any particular distiller, reseller or wholesaler. An "Old Globe Saloon" is located at 407 No. Curry in Carson City. According to the E. Clampus Vitus plaque, the original was built in 1870 on Carson St., at a different location than the current bar. It was closed down by prohibition ca. 1918. The current location was built in 1971. A Tahoe Rye Whiskey is currently being made, but I was unable to find anything remotely linking it to turn of the century western whiskeyana. A Tahoe Soda Springs existed at Lake Tahoe ca. 1900 - but no relationship found between the two. My gut feeling is that it has the "right look" to be western. If so, it's a hitter. Jury is still out - may, or may not, be a Nevada bottle.
10) A. Fischer / Wells, Nev. - Allegedly from Wells, Nevada. Well, it does say "Wells, Nev." Kinda takes the guess work out of this one. A rare and desirable amber cylinder with white enameled lettering. This is a top shelf back bar that any advanced collector would welcome into a collection!
11) Belmont - Allegedly from Belmont, Nevada. The Belmont brand was registered to Belmont Distillery of Louisville, KY. The reseller of the brand nearest Nevada, that I could locate, was James Gibb of San Francisco. Gibb had rights to it ca. turn of the century. Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle. (According to Eastley research this is a Nevada bottle - see below)
12) Miller - Allegedly from Miller, Nevada. There are two brands of whiskey spelled "Miller", without being plural (Millers). "Miller" Rye was sold by Adler, Furst & Co. of St. Louis, MO. "Miller" Pure Rye was sold by Miller Dist of Ryeland , PA. A Miller / Stewart brand was sold by Miller - Stewart of Louisville, KY. Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
13) A. Livingston Whiskey - Allegedly from Genoa Nevada. "Livingston" was registered to National Distilling Co. of Milwaukee, WI. The style of the decanter strongly suggests east coast origin as well. I found no reference to an "A." Livingston brand. "M. A." Livingston was listed as a retailer of liquors in San Francisco ca. 1914 - 1915. Livingston & Co. did business as liquor wholesalers, also in San Francisco, ca. 1867 - 1917, but did not offer a "Livingston" brand, instead they pushed Pride of Ky. and A. A. Occidental. Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle.
14) Manhattan XXXX - Allegedly from Manhattan, Nevada. A "Manhattan X X X X Rye" was sold by Meyer - Pitts Co. of Baltimore, MD. A "Manhattan X X X X Whiskey" was sold by Griffin & West of Lynn, MA. These are the only two documented brands that include both "Manhattan" and "XXXX". Nothing found to indicate that this was a Nevada brand. It is NOT a Nevada bottle. (According to Eastley research this is a Nevada bottle - see below)
In closing, I'd like to go on record as saying that the internet has opened many doors for us in terms of solving mysteries. It has also provided an avenue for some to publish mis-information which sadly, is taken as gospel by others. I'd like to strongly encourage readers to do their due diligence before assuming that everything they see in print, or on the internet, is the truth. In the case of this article, only one bottle can be definitively attributed to Nevada; the A. Fischer / Wells, Nev. Other bottles conceivably may have lined the back bar of a Silver State saloon. The operative word is "may".
A bottle is truly "Nevada" if; it was blown in the west and intended for distribution solely by a Nevada concern Or if a bottle was blown in the east for a Nevada concern, and intended for distribution by a Nevada concern. If not, it can be considered about as much a Nevada bottle as a Paine's Celery Compound found lying under the sage brush on the outskirts of VC.
PS: Many thanks to Robin Preston for providing access to his database. It proved, once again, invaluable especially in assisting with the research for this article!
Good friend, David Bethman, had the following to say on this subject;
"I read with interest the article in the Sept-Oct 2016 issue of "Bottles and Extras" that attributed 14 new NEVADA back bar bottles, and that each one was "rare and one of a kind" to quote the article.
I am kind of a stickler on accurate research, and that quote and the idea that these are NEVADA bottles, not NATIONAL bottles, seemed incorrect. Also, it seemed incorrect to assume the name on some of these bottles represented the names of Nevada towns!
I checked out some of the bottles using online information, and found out the following...
1. Old National is a national brand sold by Bernheim Bros of Louisville Kentucky, their back bar bottles were issued to other bars and saloons. Not from the town of National Nevada.
2 & 3 . Middletown Golden Rye was also a National Brand, sold from New Middletown Ohio. Other examples exist. Not from Divide.
4. Columbia Rye was a national brand sold out of Baltimore, but the "C. THOMAS" could make it a local Nevada bottle if proved thru research.
5. Bon Ton was a very popular name for thousands of saloons and restaurants in this time period. I find W. J. Jones of Boston used this name as a brand of whiskey they sold. Not a Nevada bottle
6. International Hotel - the author attributes this bottle to Virginia City, when a 2006 article in Bottles and Extras by Ralph Van Brocklin attributes this bottle as to be known from AUSTIN, Nevada.
7 & 8. Hermitage was a national brand put out by W. A. Gaines & Co of Frankfurt Kentucky. Not a Nevada brand.
9. Tahoe Whiskey Old Globe IS a Nevada back bar bottle.
10. A Fisher / Wells IS a Nevada back bar bottle.
11. Belmont was a brand controlled by the Belmont Distillery Company of Louisville Kentucky, NOT a Nevada bottle. I find it a real stretch to assume Belmont was from Belmont Nevada. That is like assuming #13 Livingston Whiskey to be from Livingston, Montana.
12. Miller - not sure, could represent Miller's Extra Old Bourbon a brand sold in the west, but attributed by the name on the bottle to Millers Nevada?
13. Livingston Whiskey was a brand used by the National Distilling Company of Milwaukee Wisconsin, again a national brand.
14. Manhattan XXXX - was a national brand advertised all over the East Coast, I've found many ads in North Carolina, Delaware etc offering this product, probably from Baltimore, MD. Yet attributed in the article from Manhattan, Nevada?
Would you call a Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound medicine bottle, found in the basement of an old Nevada drug store, a NEVADA medicine bottle, no you would not.
In summary, I find that 3 of the bottles are Nevada bottles, with possibly the Columbia Rye IF "C. Thomas" proves to be a local Nevada saloon owner. About 45 minutes of research online gave me this information. Your thoughts appreciated and should I send my concerns to Martin Van Zant? Thank you!
David Bethman"
It looks like we are in agreement.
I received the following letter this morning, from a respected Nevada collector, and felt that it was important to attach to the above article.
This letter is in response to the "Unicorns and Rainbows" opinion that certain bottles mentioned in an article entitled "Nevada Backbar Bottle Bonanza" (FOHBC magazine "Bottles and Extras, September-October edition, page 33) are not genuine, legitimate Nevada bottles. I include my personal research on a select handful.
Columbia Club Rye – C. Thomas
This bottle came from the Columbia Club in Pioneer, Nevada. That the Columbia Club existed is evidenced by a rare Columbia Club, Pioneer, Nevada, 12 ½ cent trade token. Additionally, an article printed in the May 7, 1909 edition of the Reno Gazette-Journal mentions a "disastrous fire in Pioneer, Nevada" in which the Columbia Club was among businesses suffering loss. Charles Thomas is listed in the 1910 U.S. Federal Census living in Pioneer (Springdale district), Nevada as the manager of a department store, which makes sense because the fire in 1909 destroyed the saloon. The final, and most compelling evidence, is a photo (found in the UNLV digital library on line) from the Charles Thomas and Perry photo collection showing Charles Thomas standing in front of the Columbia Club in Pioneer with the handwritten notation "He is always the same." This bottle has been examined thoroughly by many collectors and has been deemed to be genuine.
Manhattan XXXX – J.E. Connor
The author left out one distinctive marking on this bottle that helps greatly in its identification. The name "J.E. Connor" is enameled below the "Manhattan XXXX" on this backbar. Joseph E. Connor was a hotel and saloon owner in Manhattan, Nevada, as evidenced by RL Polk's Nevada State Gazeteer and Business Directory, First Edition (1907-1908) and further supported by the 1910 U.S. Federal Census. He continued to reside in Manhattan through 1920, as evidenced by the U.S. Federal Census, and is still in the hotel business in addition to being co-owner of the Manhattan Water Company (documented in the Appendix to Journals of Senate and Assembly of the State of Nevada and Report of the Railroad and Public Service Commissions of Nevada). This bottle has been examined thoroughly by many collectors and has been deemed to be genuine.
This particular bottle was found in Austin, Nevada in the burned out ruins of the International Hotel. When the hotel burned local resident Gail Williams, then a young girl, recovered it from the site and asked the owner if she could have it. He replied "Yes, if you promise never to bring it back." Many years later a bottle show was being held in Austin and although the International was not on display, show goers heard of its existence there in town. Gail was subsequently pressured by so many collectors that she put the bottle in a closet in her home and refused to answer the door when they knocked. The bottle was however, ultimately sold. Her nephew is a close friend of mine and I was permitted to view the bottle several years before it was sold. The story of the bottle's discovery was relayed to me directly by Gail Williams, the then-owner. Its provenance is impeccable and is well-known among Nevada collectors.
Belmont W.B.
There are actually two Belmont backbars: Belmont W.B. and Belmont W.B.&S. My research documents the second bottle. W.B.&S. stands for (Thomas) Warburton, (Frank) Brotherton and (Carl) Schaefer. These merchants are well known to Nye County, Nevada researchers. Warburton was a hotel owner in Belmont as well as a deputy sheriff, the county assessor and treasurer, a school trustee, deputy postmaster, and a member of the IOOF Nevada grand lodge. Brotherton served as Belmont's postmaster, was the county clerk, a clerk in the judicial district court, and was also a member of the IOOF Nevada grand lodge. Schaefer, Brotherton's brother-in-law, was a general merchant in Belmont. There are many, many billheads, receipts and ephemera that document the trio's partnerships. They were brother Masons and active in both the IOOF and Silver Party and Republican groups. At one time, Thomas Warburton owned a hotel. This bottle, however, is from the period when the trio dealt in general merchandise. In a shrewd business move, when Brotherton served as Belmont's postmaster he moved the post office into the general merchandise store.
That they dealt in whiskey and bottled spirits is evidenced by a letter from a resident of Jefferson, Nevada requesting "a bottle of good whiskey be sent by stage". Over-the-counter drink sales are proven by an extremely rare "Frank Brotherton, Belmont, Nevada 12 ½ cent drink or cigar" token. The W.B.&S. bottle was found in the 1950s in Belmont by a person who lived in both Belmont and Tonopah. It was subsequently purchased by Willie Manzini of Austin, Nevada. This Belmont, Nevada backbar bottle's provenance is impeccable and certainly has not been faked.
In conclusion, it is always good to chronicle the ownership, custody or location of any historical object, including bottles. Establishing that history, whenever possible, through contextual and circumstantial evidence helps authenticate the item. We're fortunate that we have so many research aids at our fingertips through the internet. I hope my comments above have alleviated any concerns about the authenticity of four important Nevada backbars.

Impressive Chipping Campden Debut for Faust and Bezuidenhout
27/05/2016 22/05/2016 by RJones
United Kingdom Bach: Isabelle Faust (violin), Kristian Bezuidenhout (harpsichord), Chipping Campden International Music Festival, St James' Church, Chipping Campden, 20.5.2016. (RJ)
Bach, Sonata for violin and harpsichord in A major, BWV 1015; Sonata for solo violin No 2 in A minor, BWV 1003; Sonata for violin and harpsichord in E major, BWV 1016; Sonata for violin and harpsichord in F minor, BWV 1018; Toccata for solo harpsichord in D minor, BWV 913; Sonata for violin and harpsichord in G major, BVW 1019
Bach's time as Kapellmeister to Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen (1717-1723) when he was in his thirties proved to be particularly productive period. Here it was that he felt able to experiment and try out new ideas, and his output ranged from his remarkable works for solo violin to the earliest duo sonatas in which both instruments are accorded equal importance.
This was evident from the BVW 1015 sonata with its opening marked dolce which offered a sweet-sounding, quietly flowing antidote to the cares of the week. The lively allegro with its dance-like fugal aspects was performed with gusto by Isabelle Faust and Kristian Bezuidenhout, who quickly changed their tone for the song-like canon in the andante third movement.
Bach's works for solo violin test the technique and stamina of the most accomplished violinists, but Miss Faust made light of its complexities in the Sonata No 2, especially in the allegro in which the fugal parts are interrupted by more flowing passages. The Andante with its flowing melody and bass line brought to mind the concertos of Vivaldi, while the spirited finale was notable for its echo effects.
BVW 1016 is in the form of the Italian sonata da chiesa in which slow and fast movements alternate. The violin dominated in the opening adagio, but the two instruments had equal importance in the second adagio of the sonata which was the emotional heart of the work. In BWV 1018 the tables are turned with the violin providing obbligato support for the harpsichord at times in the first movement. The high spirited second movement seemed oddly misplaced – one felt it would have worked better as the finale – while the adagio third movement proved to be a particularly sombre affair.
I was less impressed by the early Toccata for harpsichord despite Kristian Bezuidenhout's committed playing. This was written at least ten years before he came to Anhalt-Cöthen and the music felt somewhat laboured, although it eventually got into its stride in the finale. The lively harpsichord solo in BWV 1019 offered a far better opportunity for us to appreciate Bezuidenhout's musical brilliance and dexterity as a soloist.
You cannot always judge a work by its label and the three sonatas already performed were all refreshingly different, even though their BVW numbers were so similar. The same was true of BVW 1019, which had five movements rather than four and provided a scintillating end to the evening. The three central movements are in minor keys sandwiched between two bright, cheerful allegros. The slow movements were performed with sensitivity, the second having an expressive, plaintive character, but the central harpsichord solo was the highlight giving gave this work a distinctive allure.
This is the first time Isabelle Faust and Kristian Bezuidenhout have been invited to play at the Chipping Campden Festival. Judging from the warm reception accorded to this well-matched duo it will not be the last.

Necessary only after thoughtful consideration.
The answer is simple. The reason we vaccinate is to protect our pets from diseases. The same way we want to protect our human children – so they get vaccinated when they are very young. Then what? Do we get vaccinated every year, every 3 years, when we are 92 years old? No.
So why do we vaccinate our dogs and cats every so many years, like clockwork? We get a reminder card for certain vaccines and fail to consider the risk factors and whether these vaccines are needed or not. Why do we need formula medicine like that? It's called "herd medicine" where a critical mass of individuals are vaccinated and protected regardless of circumstances so everyone can be safe.
That is why rabies vaccine is required by law. But none of the other vaccines are required by law.
I want you to have a discussion with your veterinarian to know why you want to do what is asked of you. You need to be involved, should be involved, to be an informed owner. It should not be as automatic as getting a card in the mail.
Most vaccines are "remembered" by the immune system long after they are given. Just like our bodies remember vaccines we received when we were young. Our dogs and cats are the same. Instead of giving a vaccine and unnecessarily triggering the immune system, we can do a titer test to determine if the body remembers the vaccine or not. Appropriate and targeted vaccinations are then given, based on risk and need, as determined by these titer results.
We do get vaccinated repeatedly if we are in the healthcare profession (nurses) or are teachers or attending school. Why? Risk factor. So depending on the risk factor, the decision may change- for example if pets are boarded often, hunting dogs, working dogs etc.
And why not simply vaccinate, why is that so bad? So many dog and cats get just that, and are "fine". For that, please read the blog on the immune system- a complex system that we know very little about even though scientifically we know a lot more about it than we used to. It is best to keep the immune system healthy, happy and calm. If the immune system becomes hypersensitive due to repeated stimulation from excess vaccinations, reversing the damage becomes very difficult and detrimental to your pet's health and longevity.
Please discuss your pet's vaccine protocol with your veterinarian before making any changes.

Deputy Sheriff Grover Sexton and the Studebaker Big Six
Aug 24, 2016 12:57:06 PM

When Studebaker Company executives learned late in 1924 that 12 of the 13 Arizona county sheriffs were using their "Big Six" model—a large V-6, six-passenger touring car—instead of other available brands, they dispatched Grover Sexton to interview Arizona sheriffs to discover why.
Sexton's origins are murky, but before he became a Studebaker employee he had experience working on early aviation experimentation, followed by military police duty in Europe during WWI. After the war he also spent time as newspaper reporter.
Upon arriving in Prescott, Sexton was sworn in as a Yavapai County deputy sheriff by new Sheriff Edwin G. "Two-Gun" Weil, who had just won election as the liquor enforcement candidate.
It appears that the voters of Yavapai County just then were ready for stricter liquor enforcement than provided by his predecessor. As historical records note, former Sheriff George C. Ruffner would give Prescott citizens advance warning when he was going to a "sweep." This "sweep" would consist of Sheriff Ruffner driving around the square in his wagon several times. Of course no arrests or seizures were made, as all bootleggers, speakeasies, bars or other liquor-consuming citizens in the county seat would stash their stills, pour out their drinks or otherwise close their doors.
Deputy Sheriff Sexton was provided a badge and a Winchester Rifle and was assigned the Studebaker Big Six model patrol vehicle. This Big Six Vehicle had no emergency lights or an apparent siren, but it did have Sheriff's Office graphics and a vehicle badge on the front bumper. Sheriff Weil and Deputy Sexton proceeded to actively enforce the Volstead Act and General Liquor Enforcement throughout the county.
During a raid at the Tia Juana Dance Hall speakeasy in Cottonwood Sheriff Weil and several deputies came through the front door and the Sheriff set up on the pool table, two guns visible and legs swinging back and forth, and the sixty-seven patrons were told to be "good little boys."
Chasing ridge runners, busting up stills and arresting homicide suspects in town and out in the vast rural expanses of Yavapai County became common practice during the Weil Administration, but after two years of stricter enforcement the voters had a change of heart and former Sheriff Ruffner was reelected, serving until his death in 1933.
During the 1925-1926 period, Grover Sexton was asked to travel southward and was a deputy sheriff for Cochise County for a time, returning to Yavapai County as deputy sheriff by 1926.
At this time in history, Studebaker Big Six Advertisements began to appear in both local and national newspapers with likenesses of Deputy Sheriff Sexton. The Big Six was priced at a moderate figure of $ 1,375.00. Sexton found that the reliability, high clearance and durability were key qualities of the Big Six that Arizona Sheriffs enjoyed in their new vehicle. Sexton wrote a book describing his experiences as a Yavapai deputy that was mass produced and sent to dealerships across the country for inspection by prospective buyers.
When the Studebaker Executives reviewed Sexton's report they found that the Studebaker Big Six was in fact very important and needed by Arizona sheriffs and so renamed the Big Six Sport Phaeton model as the Sheriff Model in large part due to Sexton's experiences in Yavapai County.
Wednesday October 27, 1926, the Prescott Evening Courier reported Sexton would depart Friday on a 7000-mile trip to apprehend three wanted felons. Warrants had been issued for two persons wanted for homicide and the third a bad check artist. The Courier later reported that by February 5, 1927 Sexton arrived in Montgomery, Alabama following a 9,500 mile search that extended from Prescott to Albuquerque, NM where he apprehended one fugitive, then on to Schenectady, New York for the second fugitive and finally on to to Panama City, Florida, where the third fugitive was apprehended. All these miles were driven in the Studebaker Sheriff Model, or as known to Grover Sexton, the "Thunder Pumper."
Deputy Sheriff Grover Sexton's duty issue Winchester .30-.30 caliber lever action rifle is currently on display at Sharlot Hall Museum's just-opened Law and Order exhibit, featuring the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.

America the Generous: A Lost Story of Citizenship
By Lawrence Downes
When people bicker over immigration, it's often not long before the topic turns to My Family Came Here Legally. People whose roots go to Ellis Island or deeper like to say that. It fills their family trees with hard-working people who were poor but played by the rules, who got with the American program. It draws a bright line between upstanding Americans and those shadowy illegal workers hiding one big secret and who knows how many others.
It's that line — that moral chasm between Us and Them, and between an idealized history and the muddled present — that informs the worst parts of the Senate immigration bill. It's not only the provisions that create an incredibly grudging path to citizenship for illegal immigrants — charging them $5,000 apiece and requiring them to jump through pointless and punishing hoops that include a "touchback" trip home to Mexico, say, or Manila. It's also the belief that immigrants with little to offer us but their toil and sweat should be brought in only as guest laborers, with no hope of becoming citizens, and that the paths to entry for immigrants' relatives must be narrowed.
Congress has taken the week off from the debate, with members going home to districts that have already been inflamed by the loud and loony right, which has decided that the bill is that filthy thing "amnesty" and that the nation's character would be defiled if it ever forgave illegal immigrants for coming here to do our worst jobs, or let too many more people in to put down roots. You could call that view unkind and uncharitable. You could also call it unwise, given economic realities.
I would add un-American.
My view has been informed by "Americans in Waiting," a book by Hiroshi Motomura, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, about what he calls a lost story of a confident young country that opened itself to newcomers in ways that seem unthinkably generous today.
For about 150 years, Professor Motomura writes, from shortly after the country's birth to the end of the Ellis Island heyday in the 1920s, when there were no numerical limits to immigration and the flow was mostly from western Europe, new immigrants could gain many of the rights of citizens by signing a document declaring their intention to naturalize. They became Americans in waiting, able to work, vote, buy land and clear homesteads.
The elegant idea was that immigration was simply the beginning of an inevitable transition toward full membership in a growing country. The ancestors of so many Americans, including today's immigration hard-liners, benefited from it.
It's important not to romanticize that history. The doors were more open for white Europeans than for members of other groups, like the Chinese and Japanese, who were almost entirely shut out. Many white immigrants — the Irish, Italians, European Jews — suffered profound discrimination once they arrived. Over time, the era of Ellis Island gave way to quotas, country and employment categories, and long waiting lists for everyone. With long waiting lists came people desperate enough to jump them.
The newcomer, once a citizen's near equal, has come to be viewed as a perpetual outsider. The dominant view of immigration is no longer what Professor Motomura calls "immigration as transition" but immigration as "contract" and "affiliation." Immigrants must meet ever-more-demanding terms of entry and slowly forge connections here before equality becomes an option.
Professor Motomura does not argue that "immigration as transition" is the superior or only model, but rather that it should be restored to its place beside the other two. He would go much farther than today's politicians in giving rights to new legal immigrants — even granting government benefits — but on the condition that they take advantage of the chance to become citizens after five years. Those who do not would revert to a more limited status.
Professor Motomura contends that the machinery of assimilation will work if we let it. Immigrants who are unduly insecure, he says, who are worried not only about jobs, health and finances but also contractual obligations that the United States could revoke at any time, naturally retreat to ethnic enclaves. Those who are confident in their welcome, he argues, are more likely to plunge headlong into American life.
Professor Motomura, whose parents immigrated from Japan, is convinced that immigrants will cherish citizenship more if it is easier to get. Maybe that's crazy. But it's American, and reflects a confidence in this country that the architects of the restrictive parts of the Senate bill have lost, if they ever had it.

The detection efficiency of Type Ia supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility: limits on the intrinsic rate of early flux excesses
Magee, M. R. and Cuddy, C. and Maguire, K. and Deckers, M. and Dhawan, S. and Frohmaier, C. and Miller, A. A. and Nordin, J. and Coughlin, M. W. and Feinstein, F. and Riddle, R. (2022) The detection efficiency of Type Ia supernovae from the Zwicky Transient Facility: limits on the intrinsic rate of early flux excesses. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 513 (2). pp. 3035-3049. ISSN 0035-8711. doi:10.1093/mnras/stac1045. https://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20220719-149355000
Samples of young Type Ia supernovae have shown 'early excess' emission in a few cases. Similar excesses are predicted by some explosion and progenitor scenarios and hence can provide important clues regarding the origin of thermonuclear supernovae. They are, however, only predicted to last up to the first few days following explosion. It is therefore unclear whether such scenarios are intrinsically rare or whether the relatively small sample size simply reflects the difficulty in obtaining sufficiently early detections. To that end, we perform toy simulations covering a range of survey depths and cadences, and investigate the efficiency with which young Type Ia supernovae are recovered. As input for our simulations, we use models that broadly cover the range of predicted luminosities. Based on our simulations, we find that in a typical 3 d cadence survey, only ∼10 per cent of Type Ia supernovae would be detected early enough to rule out the presence of an excess. A 2 d cadence, however, should see this increase to ∼15 per cent. We find comparable results from more detailed simulations of the Zwicky Transient Facility surveys. Using the recovery efficiencies from these detailed simulations, we investigate the number of young Type Ia supernovae expected to be discovered assuming some fraction of the population comes from scenarios producing an excess at early times. Comparing the results of our simulations to observations, we find that the intrinsic fraction of Type Ia supernovae with early flux excesses is 28⁺¹³₋₁₁ per cent.

It's a social media platform that combines intimacy and immediacy into a powerful dynamic.
The under 35's, in particular, find the platform compelling.
Essentially, a "Snap" is a picture or video that you can post to your network.
Once a Snap is viewed, it disappears completely.
This seemingly counter-intuitive setup has proven to be quite effective.
In knowing that they get just one chance to view a Snap, users pay better attention to the messages in front of them.
This makes the immediate nature of the platform ideal for marketers of products used by a younger audience, as over 70% of Snapchat users are under the age of 35.
The intuitive protocols for using the platform make it super user-friendly.
Download the Snapchat app to your device.
Tap the gray button at the bottom center of your screen once for a photo and hold it down to take a video.
Dress up your Snap with a detailed description, emojis and brightly colored text. Use the lens feature to distort and morph faces of people in your Snap's. Feel free to get crazy with it. After all, it will only be seen once before it is gone forever.
You can also create stories, which are compilations of Snap's that can be viewed for up to 24 hours.
The icon at the bottom right of your screen takes you to your stories feed and the one on the bottom left goes straight into your Snapchat feed.
Snapchat is an excellent way to engage with potential users of your product or service.
The intimate nature of a Snap can inform people about your business by taking a viewer behind the scenes.
You can introduce the unsung heroes within your organization who are essential to the function and success of your business, or you could demonstrate how to use a particular product or piece of software.
You could even give a first-person account of the history and vision of your business.
Snapchat is wildly popular, already boasting a whopping 100 million users daily, 71 million of which are under 35.
So if millennials are your target audience, you'll want to get Snapping as soon as possible!
The funny and casual tone of the Snapchat universe means that you can leave the stuffy attitude of the professional world behind and embrace a tone that reflects a friendly, easy going mindset that you clients, customers and prospects will love.

PUBG is testing out a weird new mode called Zone Tag
There's a new and experimental limited-time mode available in PUBG Labs right now called Zone Tag, and it's all about fighting for control of a glowing ball of energy. Zone tag is available on PC until February 15, so you'll want to hurry if you want to give it a try.
Zone Tag is built around a ball of energy that can be picked up and carried by any player. When you pick it up, you'll be bathed "in a pillar of light" that follows you around until you're knocked down and the ball is picked back up. The entire blue zone is centered on this ball, so whoever has it is always going to be in the very middle of the safe area on the map, which for Zone Tag is Erangel. This continues until phase six, at which point the ball disappears and the match proceeds as usual, with the remaining squads duking it out for the chicken dinner.
You may be wondering why anyone would want to pick this ball up at all – why not let someone else take the heat? Well, the squad that controls the ball gains unlimited boost gauge, which is a nice advantage to have when everyone within 100 metres knows exactly where you are.
There are some restrictions on where you can carry the ball in Zone Tag: you can't visit the small islands around Erangel, some rooftops are off limits, and ferries are prohibited. You can still go to these places, but the ball will detach from your character if you do. Perhaps more importantly, though, is the fact that entering the water will cause damage – so you'll want to be careful about planning your movements while you're the ball carrier.
PUBG Corp says Zone Tag is meant to be a "fast and furious" experience, and thus, land vehicles will spawn everywhere possible during these matches. These are invulnerable to weapon damage and tire punctures, and everyone inside gets unlimited ammunition for the duration of the ride.
Buy now: Here's where you can grab a copy of PUBG
A few more key notes about Zone Mode: bots do not know how to play it, and so you won't see any of them in Zone Mode matches – you'll need at least 40 human players to begin a game. These matches also won't count toward your career or grant XP in the battle royale game, and you won't be able to count these rounds toward Survivor Pass missions. It's all just a way to have new, experimental fun in PUBG.

The Apple Formula
The iPhone 5 has been splashed all around the media this month, although not for all the right reasons. The phone has negatively remained in the public eye due to it's supposedly underwhelming features, and most recently because of people expressing their disappointment with Apple's clumsy Maps. Despite this, the phone still received 2 million pre-orders in just the first 24 hours: that's double the record that was previously set by the iPhone 4S. No amount of bad publicity can seem to dishearten Apple consumers, as Apple's seemingly magic branding is untouchable.
With such an elongated build up to the release of the iPhone 5, many are now feeling underwhelmed as the phone didn't reach their massive expectations. They were expecting a revolution, complete innovation, and fireworks. It isn't clear exactly what features would provide all this, but what Apple delivered clearly didn't do the job for some. This disappointment with the product has led to relentless comparisons with the Samsung Galaxy SIII, where the Samsung's specification list always exceeds that of the iPhone 5. Even Samsung have hopped on to this band wagon, by producing a particularly catty print advertisement campaign which again weighs up the specifications of the two phones, with an included caption of "It doesn't take a genius".
However, this campaign has left Apple completely unfazed as the iPhone 5 has yet again illustrated an overwhelming demand for Apple products, with their latest phone being an instant success. This demand will dominantly be made up of Apple's fiercely loyal fans: but how is that this brand has constructed such a loyal and loving community? Many believe it's the passion behind the production, and this is particularly communicated through their advertising in which they depict why they do what they do, as opposed just saying what they sell. Others put it down to the humanistic touch Steve Jobs placed upon the brand, creating this easily accessible yet close-knit community.
Whatever their recipe is, Apple has an audience which seems to have made them impregnable to bad press and criticism.

Ask Boris
The Moment Ferrari Puts Boris On The Spot Over Being MP
1 April 2014, 10:06 | Updated: 26 August 2016, 16:25
This is the remarkable moment that Nick Ferrari put Boris Johnson on the spot over whether he wants to become an MP - and then the Mayor put the spotlight right back on him!
Rumours have been increasingly growing that Mr Johnson wants to return to the House of Commons, despite his regular denials.
The LBC Breakfast presenter told the Mayor: "I put it to you, I thought there was some great Machiavellian sub-plot going on with you - I'll show a bit of ankle, but then I won't and then I will.
"But, I don't think you know. You actually don't know what to do next. That's the truth isn't it? You're flip-flopping."
And Mr Johnson was left unusually speechless and Mr Ferrari said: "Tell me I'm wrong."
The Mayor then smiled: "No. It's a ludicrous trap question. Come on, I think everyone's had enough of this."
It came during this month's edition of Ask Boris - Mr Johnson's monthly LBC show. In answer to the original question from caller Gary over if he would be running for Parliament in 2015 the Mayor said that he's got to get on with running the capital.
"We've got a massive job on our hands, the number one issue for Londoners is housing, what are we doing to tackle that, the Olympic legacy," he replied.
"I've got my hands full. In political terms the number one job of all of us is to work for the re-election of David Cameron because I tell you what, I do not think it would be a good thing for London, I don't think it would be a good thing for this city or this country if we were to go back to Ed Miliband and Ed Balls, who were the guys who totally... I was going to use a profanity... but who drove the car into the ditch last time.
"I don't want to go there. I think David Cameron has done a fantastic job and I want to see him back in 2015."

My first 20+ mile week in ten months, wow!
East Nasty's half marathon speed workouts started this week. They are on Thursdays, as usual, but I couldn't make the first one because of a Preds game. It was on the schedule as "2x (3 min / 2 min / 1 min)". I wasn't sure what this meant, so I made something up and did that for my Tuesday treadmill run. I warmed up for a mile and then did two repeats of 3 minutes at 6.1, 2 minutes at 6.3, and 1 minute at 6.5. Then I finished out the third mile with an easy cool down.
On Wednesday, I went out to the usual East Nasty run. Jonathan was supposed to join me, but he got caught up at work, so I ran with the same people I had the week before. It was a good run! However, I noticed my left leg tightening up in the IT band/quad area when stopping for cars on the last mile or so. I met up with Jonathan for pizza at Five Points afterwards and didn't think anything else of it.
We slept in a bit on Saturday and went out to the greenway just before lunch. The plan was to run the "flatter" section of the greenway (none of it is actually flat), but once we got a quarter mile down, we saw it was flooded. Thus, we ended up running the hillier section. We got eight miles in, but it was a little tough, and I had to stop and walk a few times. My knees were absolutely killing me nearly the whole run! And I could still sort of feel the tightness in my left leg as well, so I tried rolling that out when we returned home.
Jonathan is playing indoor soccer on Sundays this season and he plays out near Percy Warner park. I wanted to go out there and run the 5.8 mile loop (or some of it, depending on how tired my legs felt). I decided I would do 4:1 intervals to assist in recovery, since I had just done eight miles the day before. I followed all the arrows next to the signs that said "Running Route" and…5.8 miles later, I still wasn't back where I started. I kept going, thinking it had to be soon, but after another mile, I conceded that I had no idea where I was and started looking up maps.
I walked for probably another two miles before running into Jonathan looking for me. Thank goodness for great boyfriends who won't leave you lost in the park! I interestingly got negative splits on this run, despite the crazy elevation profile, probably because I was wanting more and more for it to be over with by the end.
When I got back and finally examined what went wrong, I realized I had been following the arrows for the 11.2 route. Oops!
As the night progressed, my left IT band slowly got tighter and tighter to the point where I had to take ibuprofen just to fall asleep because it was so annoyingly painful. I'm going to take two days rest and make sure I'm doing all my clamshells this week!
This week did not go as planned.
I took my normal rest day on Monday. As I mentioned at the end of last week's post, Jonathan's car battery had died, so instead of running on Tuesday, I ended up driving him to the car dealership to pick up his fixed vehicle and then gorging on cheese dip and fajitas at SATCO. Yep.
I did make it out to the East Nasty run on Wednesday. I ran with some new people (or really I was stalking behind them for the first half of the run until I finally said something) because they were doing a nice steady pace and it was easy to just follow along.
On Thursday, we ended up going downtown to briefly check out some of the NHL All Star stuff before the crowds got there on the weekend. And I didn't run on Friday either.
We had good intentions to get up on Saturday to do our long run before heading downtown for the All Star festivities, but neither of us slept well Friday night, so we chose to turn off the alarm and get some more sleep.
So I didn't get out again until Sunday and was wanting to get between 7-8 miles.
I don't know if it was all the walking the day before or what, but I was ready to call it quits after mile two. I walked so much, which I haven't really done lately. I was blaming it on everything. I was hungry. It was hot. I was dehydrated. It was windy. It was all I could do to make it to 6.4, just shy of my seven mile goal.
I'm starting to not expect much from the 15k in a couple weeks.
This week was rather crazy. Thankfully, it was a planned recovery week anyway!
I ran on Monday (which I hardly ever do) on the treadmill because on Tuesday we were going to the Preds game. Except I forgot my Garmin (Monday-brain).
On Wednesday, I had planned to run with East Nasty (they were running my favorite route – Musica), but it had snowed and the sidewalks were still icy, so I opted for the treadmill again. To mix things up, I chose to do the trail setting, which included hills up to 6% incline. I was sore for the next few days.
On Friday, we got 8-9″ of snow, the most the area has seen in over two decades, and it didn't get above freezing again until Sunday.
My original plan was to do 5 miles or so on Saturday and a couple miles on Sunday. I managed to get out for a mile in the snow on Saturday (that was a tough mile!), but I never made it out on Sunday.
I didn't walk at all this week. Not at any point on any run.
My mid-week runs this week were a little speedy, but since I'm only running three times a week right now, I figured that (hopefully) won't come back to bite me. Tuesday's was a progressive run on the treadmill, and Thursday I ran with the Flyers.
On Saturday, I dragged Jonathan out to the East Nasty half marathon training group run at Shelby Bottoms. We started out with my friends in the 2:30 half group, but kind of did our own thing after the first mile or so. We ended up doing over seven miles with negative splits! You know I love negative splits.
I thought about doing a short recovery run on Sunday, but this coming week is so hectic that I will need to run on Monday and didn't want to end up running three days in a row just yet.
So far I'm happy and excited about how this training cycle is going!
After a lazy first half of the week (my excuses are as follows: Tuesday, there was a Preds game, and Wednesday, I meant to run but I accidentally put two tops in my gym bag instead of my running tights…), I finally got on the treadmill for a 3 miler on Thursday. It went okay and I did some 400m pickups around 10k pace (or at least what used to be my 10k pace but is pretty freaking fast for me at the moment).
On Saturday morning, I met up with the East Nasty half marathon training group (hey, after two years of saying I would join them for a Saturday long run, I finally did!). They were doing an easy run of 55 minutes (normal training) or 70 minutes (advanced training). I did something kind of in the middle since I wanted to do more than 5 miles I did last weekend. This means for the first 2.5 miles or so of my run I had some company, but the last 3.5 I was on my own. And you can tell by my splits, since I was keeping a way more conversational pace when I was running with other people. But I did manage to run 6 miles without walking, so I'm happy with my progress so far.
Sunday was cold. The temperature had dropped 30 degrees overnight and it was flurrying when I went out. But I did have all my new Lululemon stuff on that I hadn't gotten to wear yet, which was really my only motivation. I did three miles (and Garmin said 3.01 miles so I don't know why Strava is reporting 2.9!) at a too fast pace for a recovery run, but it was cold!


My husband's new dentist is in a mall with an Eataly. Yes… THAT Eataly. Last Monday he asked if I wanted him to bring fresh pasta home…I said, 'sure,' especially since I didn't have a dinner plan yet. He brought home LOTS of pasta…more than one night's worth of pasta so I found myself in need of some quickie-no-forward-planning sauces.
My husband loves food as much as I do and we spent a lot of time pre-kids making fresh pasta. We still do (occasionally) but it's not a weeknight project.
If you're a purist, this is not even close to a traditional pasta sauce. However, please send me a note if you'd like a fast 'traditional' tomato sauce, I make several variations but they take about 25 – 30 minutes.
These sauces take about 10 -15 minutes total time (depending on how fast you chop vegetables) at most. Seriously!
My children rejoiced because I typically limit our pasta intake. Not because it isn't delicious (it is) but given the chance, my oldest would eat it every day. For every meal. I've been trying to build diverse palates for both kids and aim for nutritionally dense foods, whenever possible. Note, the kids had the veggies on the side — I didn't serve the sauce for either of them, they still prefer fresh vegetables.

Q: Subgroup which is generated by odd elements Let $G$ be a finite Group, let S=$\{s_1,s_2,s_3 ... |s_i\in G $ has odd order $\}$.
Let $H=\langle S\rangle$
The question is:

*

*Prove that $H$ is normal subgroup of $G$.

*prove that $G/H$ has order $2^k$ for $k \in \mathbb{N}$.
I tried look at $$gHg^{-1}$$ but can't understand why $gHg^{-1} \subseteq H$ probably because I cant understand what unique in H.
Thanks much for help.

A: Hint:

*

*It is enough to show that, if $h\in G$ has odd order and $g\in G$, then $ghg^{-1}$ has odd order. Note here that conjugation is an isomorphism, hence it preserves the order of elements.

*It suffices to show that each non-identity element of $G/H$ has even order.

A: Others already proved that $H \unlhd G$. But I did not see a proper proof of (2). Here it is: let $\bar{x} \in G/H$ be a non-trivial element, that is $\bar{x} \neq \bar{1}$, hence $x \notin H$, and this impies that $x$ has even order, say $|x|=2^i\cdot k$, with $k$ odd and $i \geq 1$. Then $x^{2^i}$ has odd order (namely $k$), hence $\bar{x}^{2^i} = \bar{1}$ in $G/H$. We conclude that every element of $G/H$ is a $2$-element, hence $|G:H|$ is a power of $2$.
There is a generalization to general sets of primes $\pi$, where the above is the special case $\pi=\{2\}$, see here.

A: *

*Every element of $H$ is generated by a finite product of $s_1, \dots, s_i, \dots$ (note that inverses are already included in the set $S$), so let $h \in H$, then $h=s_{i_1}.. s_{i_n}$ for some $n \in \mathbb{N}$. Let $g \in G$. Then $$g^{-1}hg =  g^{-1}s_{i_1}.. s_{i_n}g = g^{-1}s_{i_1}gg^{-1}s_{i_2}g.. g^{-1}s_{i_n}g=(g^{-1}s_{i_1}g)(g^{-1}s_{i_2}g).. (g^{-1}s_{i_n}g)=s_{j_1}.. s_{j_n}$$ for some indices $j_i$, since $s_i$ and $g^{-1}s_i g$ have the same order (in particular, odd) so there exists a $j$ such that $g^{-1}s_i g = s_j$.

*Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime that divides $|G/H| = [G:H]$. Then there exists an element $x \in G/H$ of order $p$ (Cauchy's theorem). In particular $x \neq 1$ in $G/H$ so if we consider its lateral $xH$ we get an element $\bar{x} \in G$ with odd order not contained in $H$, which is a contradiction. Then there are no odd primes that divide $[G:H]$, which means that $[G:H]=2^k$ for some $k \in \mathbb{N}$.

Home security Airplane seat cameras are here to stay, says manufacturer – CNN
Airplane seat cameras are here to stay, says manufacturer – CNN
(CNN) — Cameras installed on airplane seats are nothing to fear and could one day be an accepted feature of flying, a major manufacturer of the tech has insisted.
Following widely reported concerns that the devices could be used to spy on passengers, Panasonic Avionics has said there's no risk from the cameras already installed on aircraft worldwide.
In an interview with CNN Travel, the company's chief technology officer, David Bartlett, said recent complaints about the cameras were an overreaction caused by "fear mongering."
His company says that, although most cameras are not in use at the moment, they're there to "future proof" inflight entertainment systems.
Concerns about the cameras went viral earlier this year after a malware researcher, Vitaly Kamluk, began asking questions via Twitter. The outcry prompted several prominent airlines to reassure passengers that their cameras were not activated.
"I understand people are wary of technology, but I do think it was a bit of an overreaction," says Bartlett, who is also Panasonic Avionics's chief information security officer.
"I believe it's going to settle down, that the case to be made for positive benefits coming from cameras is stronger than any concern that they could possibly be used for nefarious purposes."
Future uses
Bartlett lists potential future uses for inflight entertainment system (IFE) cameras including seat-to-seat video conferencing or to contacting the flight attendant direct from your seat.
A possible mirror function could allow passengers to test out duty free products such as sunglasses or make-up.
Panasonic says it included the cameras in newer systems in readiness for anticipated demand.
"You have to deploy an IFE system that sometimes has to be in place for 15 years," explains Gaston Sandoval, the company's global head of marketing and product management. "So what is good for the airlines is, the more capability you can put in there, the more powerful you can make it — so that you can later on, bring new ideas and bring new concepts."
READ Trump's Tech Battle With China Roils Bill Gates Nuclear Venture - The Wall Street Journal
As CNN reported in March, the existence of the cameras has never been a secret — but they've also never been widely publicized, at least until recently.
In the wake of the recent furore, passengers told CNN Travel they were concerned by what they viewed as a lack of transparency from airlines. Tech experts meanwhile raised concerns about the possibility of the cameras being hacked.
Bartlett insists airlines are not using the cameras without passengers consent.
"When people conjecture that the airlines are using it to spy on passengers and collect data, okay that's going to cause concern, but it's absolutely not true," he says.
"To my knowledge, I do not believe there's any airline using it for that purpose — we would never turn it on, it's a set that we sell to the airlines."
Sandoval says turning on the cameras involves "a very systematic deployment and certification."
Bartlett added that risk from outside hackers is low.
"Compared to ground-based systems, it's very difficult to get into these systems. It's not going to affect any on board avionics because they're not connected in that way, so it's physically impossible for that.
"But with the way it's architected and set up, it is very, very difficult for anybody get in there and use this. We have not had a single case where that's happened. We have a cyber security team that's highly advanced."
Tech experts and passengers alike suggested their fears would be somewhat alleviated if the cameras could be manually covered up.
"There must be no chance of surveillance unless the passenger agrees to it," aviation consultant Peter Lemme told CNN Travel in March. "Does this mean a physical cover plate — I think yes. I don't know any other way that would [be] compelling to everyone."
Kamluk, whose tweets about the cameras helped fuel the recent outcry, agreed.
"One good strategy is to give passengers a little bit more of control on their privacy level," he says. "The manufacturers could do one simple hardware switch to enable/disable all questionable sensors such as cameras and mics."
Bartlett says installing manual covers is a potential solution.
"I think that's something that is an option and certainly if that's going to give people peace of mind — because I think the cameras will have a use in the future," he says.
"So the scenario where you open up the camera cover and opt in, and then use it for the feature and then, when you're done, you can close it — there's nothing more secure than that."

Future implementation
So why, if there are so many possible uses, haven't the cameras been activated yet?
"We haven't aggressively marketed some of the use cases, we're still developing some of the features," Bartlett says.
"I don't know if there's any specific reason it hasn't taken off. It's a matter of marketing it, right timing, right technology," he adds.
Bartlett notes that new concepts in aviation often take off quite suddenly — one innovative airline will start the trend and the others will quickly follow suit.
If an airline was to decide to activate the cameras, what would the process be like?
Bartlett says Panasonic would aid the carrier with activation and the airline would ensure clear instructions were provided, outlining how to use the system and how to opt in or out.
He also clarifies that any device that records people's data is subject to privacy regulations such as the EU's GDPR data protection law.
Legitimate fear or overreaction?
It's commonplace for people to feel uncomfortable when they know they're in direct view of a camera lens — but Bartlett doesn't think seat back cameras are an issue.
"It's an overreaction, because it's playing to people's worst fear and I would understand if there was a case where it was actually used for [spying] but the fact is, it's just speculation and fear mongering and something that's just not used — and so I just think it's been over-hyped in most of the news," says Bartlett.
Sandoval, however, does concede the public reaction to the cameras has been a learning curve.
He acknowledges that, as the aviation industry becomes more digital and the passenger experience more personalized, the public will continue to ask questions.
"This is kind of a very good lesson learned in my opinion, because you're going to have to face probably more scrutiny, more questions as you start to deploy new experiences," he says.
"I think as we evolve as an industry we have to be just cautious of all of the regulatory environments you've got to play with, what is the sand box you've got to play with, but without necessarily shying away from bringing new experiences that are valuable to passengers."

Nicolas est une enseigne française de magasins spécialisés dans la vente de vin. Créée en 1822, son siège social est installé à Thiais dans le département du Val-de-Marne.

Histoire

L'enseigne a été créée à Paris en 1822 par Louis Nicolas, qui se lance dans la vente puis dans la livraison de vin en bouteilles aux particuliers. Son commerce est prospère, il multiplie les ouvertures de boutiques pour atteindre 45 en 1900 et 138 en 1919.

L'entreprise s'installe à Charenton sur le quai de Bercy au port aux lions en 1878 puis achète un terrain de 5 hectares dans le quartier des Carrières à l'est de la rue Valmy où elle établit son siège social construit en 1920 par l'architecte Laquerrière  dans un style néo classique évoquant l'ancien château de Bercy détruit à proximité en 1861. Sa façade sur l'avenue Winston-Churchill englobée dans le bâtiment des bureaux des Banques populaires est préservée.

Rachetée en 1984 par le groupe Rémy Martin, la marque passe ensuite en 1988 entre les mains du groupe Castel qui abandonne les implantations à Charenton. Celui-ci développe alors fortement le réseau, jusqu'ici surtout présent en Île-de-France, en ouvrant 300 boutiques entre 1988 et 2012.

En 1995, est lancée la gamme de vins de pays « Les Petites Récoltes », proposée à des prix inférieurs aux autres vins vendus par l'enseigne.

En 2018, le réseau caviste est composé de 498 points de vente en France plus une quinzaine à l'étranger.

Chiffres clés

Nicolas possède en 2018 plus de 500 magasins, dont 498 en France, implantés dans cinq pays : Belgique, France, Maroc, Liban, Royaume-Uni et Suisse.

Les magasins Nicolas vendent obligatoirement les  de vin considérées comme incontournables par l'entreprise. Pour le reste, le responsable de magasin choisit parmi un catalogue de  sélectionnées par le groupe.

Produits
L'enseigne vend principalement du vin et du champagne, mais également des spiritueux, des gâteaux apéritif et des accessoires, comme des verres et des tire-bouchons.

Elle possède quatre gammes de vins vendus sous marque propre.

Site internet
Nicolas est un pionnier de la vente en ligne de vin. Le premier site internet marchand a vu le jour en 2000.

Il est depuis le début orienté vers les cavistes et a pour objectif de faire découvrir les produits et les caves de l'enseigne.

Catalogues Nicolas
Les publications de la société ont été particulièrement recherchées, car les catalogues Nicolas étaient illustrés par des artistes réputés comme Cassandre de l'agence Wallace & Draeger ou van Dongen ou Carlègle (pour le « Livre Quatrième » de « Monseigneur le Vin », sur l'Anjou-Touraine, Alsace, Champagne...).

Premiere: A Deeper Love in Forest Blakk's Moving "Where I First Found You"
Where I First Found You - Forest Blakk
Recommended If You Like: Aquilo, Bear's Den
You'll likely be in tears by the time you've finished watching Forest Blakk's new music video, and that's okay. A powerfully evocative expression of the deepest form of love, "Where I First Found You" pulls at our heartstrings with a moving portrayal of connection, experience, and memory everlasting.
Let's draw a line between us
paint a map back to the start
Leaving footprints to remind us
Where you go, I'll go
And if you fall, I'll fall
Watch: "Where I First Found You" – Forest Blakk
Atwood Magazine has the distinct honor and pride of premiering the James Fitzgerald-directed music video for "Where I First Found You," the second single from Montreal-born, Germany-based singer/songwriter Forest Blakk (via DoOZy Records). An "urban folk" artist with his own harrowing backstory – he received his first guitar at 15 when he found himself living on the street while his father was in prison – Blakk melds his unique identity into the soulful, emotionally resonant music to which he aspires: Early influences include the likes of Don Henley and Joe Cocker, though his contemporaries may be more along the lines of Atwood Magazine favorites, UK acts Aquilo and Bear's Den.
To note, this is fabulous company to be amongst. Until Blakk – who has two official singles to his name, with debut "Love Me" and "Where I First Found You" – releases a song that doesn't make us cry, he will remain amongst these new greats.
Where I First Found You – Forest Blakk
And if the sky grows heavy
Wrap you arms around me tight
We'll be all right
If the ground gives way beneath us
If we should fall to pieces
Find me, where I first found you
"'Where I First Found You' was my heart's attempt to answer one of love's greatest questions," Blakk shares. "Does there exist a love so deep, so passionate that it ceases to follow the rules of time itself? If that love does exist and we found ourselves at its center, would we too find ourselves free of the seconds that bind us? If this life were to end this very minute and the light of our love was to fade like a star, will we have loved with such conviction that in our next life we could once again find each other? I may not have an answer, but I hope 'Where I First Found You' serves as a lighthouse for all of our wandering hearts."
His goals are ambitious, but "Where I First Found You" sticks the landing. Blakk's piano ballad slowly builds into a majestic, poignant outburst of intimate understanding, with vocal harmonies and string accompaniments supporting an otherwise sparse arrangement that, in itself, is enough to leave a permanent, lasting impact on our heart.
Forest Blakk's video captures the relationship between grandparent and grandchild
If our signal ever faded
Point me right back to your heart
and the moment when you said it
So where you go I'll go
"I'm beyond excited to finally share the video for 'Where I First Found You' with you," Blakk tells Atwood Magazine and viewers like you. "A lot of love went into the making of this one and the director, James Fitzgerald, did a fantastic job with the storyline and visuals. I hope these 3 minutes capture your imagination and hit you with all the feels; I know it did for me. Thanks for watching while I put my heart on the line!"
Forest Blakk © 2017
You're welcome, Mr. Blakk – and thank you for tugging so tightly on our emotions. In capturing the special, cyclical relationship between grandparent and grandchild, "Where I First Found You" invokes something powerful in all of us. We see time take its toll, a reminder that nothing and no one lasts forever; that our loved ones will be taken from us too soon, but to cherish what we have with one another because that bond and connection transcends the earthly realm.
As we (with tears in our eyes) watch the protagonist granddaughter inspect her late grandfather's art – a beautiful oil painting depicting the two of them walking along the beach, hand in hand – we're confronted with the heavy weight of life, love, time, and connection. It's the sort of thing we might casually contemplate every so often, but Forest Blakk delivers it with a jarring immediacy that pulls us out of the every day, and forces us to embrace the people we love and the world in which we live.
Bravo, Forest Blakk; bravo.

Because identity theft has become such a problem, each of the credit reporting agencies offers a program to help thwart thieves. Equifax offers "Credit Watch," Experian offers "Credit Manager," and Trans Union offers "Credit Monitoring." All of these are similar services, in which the company will watch your credit report, and if any requests are made for information, will call you to verify that you're applying for new credit before releasing any info. The price varies from company to company, but if you're uneasy and feel vulnerable, these services do offer a little more peace of mind.
The bottom line is that with a little planning and a lot of diligence, you can take many of the steps necessary to prevent identification theft for little or no cost. The key is vigilance; keep on top of developments in technology and your financial information. Like most thieves, identity thieves are looking for an easy mark. The harder you make it for them to get your identity, the less likely they are to make the effort.
