If you've read even a small fraction of our content, you probably have noticed that we mention Undercover Tourist frequently as a place to get discount Disney World tickets, discount Disney World hotels, and discount Disneyland tickets.
First, it's natural to worry about the legitimacy of any discounted Disney product. No one wants to spend hundreds, even thousands, of dollars and find out they got ripped off. So, there are plenty of searches done online for things like "Is Undercover Tourist legit?"
Yes—Undercover Tourist is legitimate. They are an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets (and hotel rooms), and they sell them at decent discounts. The goal of this post is to talk a little more about Undercover Tourist to help you understand why we recommend them so much.
We're not taking you for a ride, promise!
We're NOT affiliates of Undercover Tourist! We don't earn a dime if you click our Undercover Tourist links and make a purchase. You don't have to ask yourself whether we're recommending them because we get any sort of kickback. Honestly, we just love their services!
Undercover Tourist is most popular as an authorized seller of Walt Disney World tickets. They've recently added Disneyland tickets to their offerings. They sell these tickets at a discounted price. In short, the reason we recommend them is because they offer great (often the best) discounts and have good service and a great reputation. As a quick example, we saved $126 on a recent trip by buying our tickets through Undercover Tourist.
They're able to sell at a discounted rate because the tickets are what are known as "wholesale", meaning Undercover Tourist has purchased a bunch of them from Disney at a low rate, and now they're passing some of that discount onto you.
Wholesale Tickets Aren't Any Different Than Gate Tickets!
If you're worried that wholesale tickets are different than tickets you'd get through Disney online or at the gate, worry no more! When it comes to how you use them, benefits you get (like Fastpass+), and restrictions on when they can be used, the rules are the same as any other Disney ticket. Once you purchase the ticket and link it to your My Disney Experience account, no one gives any attention to how you acquired them.
We haven't bridged Disney tickets, but we're planning to in June and will update this post when we do. In short, though, ticket bridging is when you upgrade a discounted Disney ticket to an annual pass. You're credited the gate price of the ticket when you do this, so you've essentially saved on your annual pass. Disney Tourist Blog has a great post on ticket bridging.
As we discuss in our post on discount Disney World tickets, these discounts are usually around 8% to 10%, and a family of four on a five-day trip can expect to save around $150 buying tickets through Undercover Tourist. Most recently, we saved $126 or 8.4% buying tickets through Undercover Tourist.
Disney tickets are one of the hardest items to save on when it comes to planning a trip. But Undercover Tourist's Disney World ticket prices are a decent discount on this expensive part of your trip.
Time is money! But, more relevant to this post, money is also money!
The savings are best when Disney raises ticket prices, as wholesale sellers like Undercover Tourist are able to sell some of their old supply at the prices they were previously offering.
Finally, Undercover Tourist also has tickets for special events, like Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. We even purchased our ticket's for this year's Halloween party through them!
In any case, it's definitely worth checking out when booking your Disney hotel. We recently booked an Art of Animation stay through them and saved $50 vs. Disney's prices when other sites weren't even able to offer us Little Mermaid rooms.
...$988 through Undercover Tourist for the same room!
That $35 savings isn't huge, but what's notable is that these savings were available while Disney had a room offer going on! No site is always going to beat another on price, and certainly no site will always beat another on the mix of price and inventory. But if you're not at least checking Undercover Tourist before booking your Disney World hotel, you're potentially missing out on big savings.
If you're a master Disney planner, you know how important it is to link your tickets and your hotel room to your Disney account well in advance of your stay. Primarily, you need to do this to make Fastpass+ reservations 60 days in advance and to pick your MagicBand colors.
When you navigate over to your My Disney Experience "My Reservations and Tickets" page, you'll have the option to "Link Tickets."
...which we just went ahead and entered into the Disney website's "Link a Resort..." page.
When you compare the Polynesian reservation we made (through Disney online), to our Art of Animation reservation through Undercover Tourist, you'll notice cancellations to third-party bookings have to be made by calling Disney. We can't see why this would be a problem, though.
Once our tickets and hotel reservation were linked to our account, we had no problem checking in online or making Fastpass+ reservations.
The #1 reason we recommend Undercover Tourist is simply that we actually use them (as we mentioned twice in this post already). As of this writing, we're not annual passholders, and since we heard about Undercover Tourist, we've only purchased park tickets through them.
Don't let him know I said this, but my father-in-law is actually the one who told me about Undercover Tourist.
Beyond us, we have friends, family, and readers who have used them, and countless sites also swear by them. Again, we're not saying you should buy tickets or hotel rooms from them no matter what. You always want to get the best price you can for a legitimate product. We're just here to clarify that Undercover Tourist is totally legitimate, easy to use, and offers good discounts.
Finally, these are people who actually care about Disney vacations. They produce some pretty good Disney parks content on their blog, including one of the Disney World crowd calendars we recommend.
Yes, there are some downsides to using Undercover Tourist. While we don't think they are a big deal, we do think they're worth pointing out so you can evaluate for yourself whether Undercover Tourist is right for you.
This isn't a downside, per se. You should always book the deal that makes the most sense for you, whether its a package through Disney, a room through Undercover Tourist, or a room through some other site.
But, for example, you won't be able to get free dining on a room booked through Undercover Tourist (or any other third party). Oftentimes, Disney planners will refer to something like "adding free dining to your existing booking." What's really going on here is that you're rebooking the same package with a new offer. You can't "stack" or combine any offers, whether they came from Disney or a third party.
It can take up to 24 hours for ticket orders to be processed. When we made a $2000 order with six tickets (three Walt Disney World, three Universal), we were delayed a bit more when they required us to call and confirm our order. Personally I think this was a good thing for them to do, as it was a big, relatively complex order.
This is probably the most significant difference between booking through Undercover Tourist (or any third-party site) and booking through Disney directly. If you book a hotel room through Disney directly, you only have to pay a deposit up front. You pay the balance of your room when you arrive.
If you book a Disney hotel room through Undercover Tourist or any other third-party site (like Expedia), you have to pay the entire balance up front. For some people, especially people who like to make speculative bookings early on in planning, this can be a real nuisance. Then again, you can use that hotel booking to earn a signup bonus on a new credit card for great savings.
This post has been a little longer than intended, but with good reason. We want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible with the advice we give. What this boils down to is a mix of a few things. Yes, they are a legitimate agency that offers great discounts. No, we aren't an affiliate of Undercover Tourist. And, indeed, we use them for a lot of our bookings because they're discounted and very convenient.

Arguably, the most important aspect of your real estate website is its ability to display available property listings for your leads and clients to browse. If your site doesn't have that functionality, your potential clients will seek out another agent to represent them in their home search.
Luckily, depending on the needs of your business and which associations you belong to, there are a few listing services to choose from. We'll focus on VOW Listings (Virtual Office Website) here. Read below to learn what it is and the benefits it offers real estate professionals.
What exactly is VOW and how can you use it to grow your business?
VOW is a data-sharing service for brokerages that gives the consumer (your leads) password-protected access to available property listings through your website. The listing service is beneficial to both brokers and clients in that a professional relationship must be established before access to the listings is granted. Plus, all TREB listings are available on VOW, a huge benefit to Toronto-area agents.
Since the VOW gives a potential client access to every listing (even inactive or pending ones), they can expand their knowledge around a particular market, and you've established a new contact to begin nurturing. It's a win for both parties!
Related Post: What is IDX? Made Simple.
1) A stronger broker-client relationship.
The housing data offered by VOWs is comprehensive. Actively using one communicates to your clients that you're knowledgeable and an expert in your field, which means you're a professional to be trusted.
2) A greater understanding of client browsing activity and priorities.
Brokers can track the kinds of properties their leads are looking at through VOW. This information can help you provide more targeted content to your most eager potential clients, building a solid business relationship and generating more business in the process.
A VOW clearly provides many benefits to both lead and broker alike. Using it to enhance the functionality of your website will not only increase traffic and business to your site, but you'll also be able to provide superior information specifically targeted to your best clients.

Pregnancy can be a wonderful time in a woman's life, but it can also create some challenging situations in the workplace. Some employers make derogatory comments about pregnant workers. These comments can trigger adverse professional consequences and extreme psychological distress. An experienced employment discrimination attorney at Phillips & Associates can help you pursue damages for harm caused as a result of derogatory comments, harassment, and other adverse actions.
Some common derogatory comments associated with pregnancy may include complaining about the amount of weight you've gained during pregnancy, making negative comments about you for taking leave based on pregnancy or a pregnancy-related condition, or making negative comments about your need to breastfeed, stay off your feet, or take a lighter workload.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was amended with the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in order to expressly prohibit pregnancy discrimination. Employers that have at least 15 employees are not allowed to discriminate against job applicants or employees on the basis of pregnancy or childbirth. This means employers cannot take any actions with regard to employment, such as demoting, transferring, or changing the pay of a worker, on the basis of her pregnancy. They also cannot harass the worker.
New York state and city laws offer protection to pregnant employees who work for smaller businesses. For example, the New York City Council enacted the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which makes sure that pregnant workers are protected against discrimination so they can work through their pregnancies. The bill expands the city's Human Rights Law, which applies to workplaces with four or more employees.
Derogatory comments in the workplace based on pregnancy, a pregnancy-related condition, or childbirth may be considered unlawful harassment. In order to be considered illegal, the harassing conduct must be so frequent or severe it creates a hostile work environment or causes an employer to make an adverse employment decision.
When a coworker, a supervisor, or a client or customer of an employer makes derogatory comments, you should ask the person to stop and state that this conduct is unwelcome. You should also use any complaint procedure, such as making a report to HR, that your employer has in place to address the situation. If your employer is large enough to be covered by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, you can file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This claim must be filed within 180 days of the harassment. If your employer is smaller, you can exercise your rights under state and local laws.
Your employer is not allowed to retaliate against you for telling HR about the derogatory comments or filing a formal complaint with the EEOC, and your employer is not allowed to terminate you for these reasons. Sometimes, in more ambiguous cases, however, it may be appropriate to consult an employment discrimination attorney before filing the grievance in order to understand this area of law better. It is important to retain an attorney before filing a complaint.
You do not need to endure derogatory comments that constitute pregnancy discrimination or harassment in a New York workplace. The lawyers at Phillips & Associates are aggressive, experienced advocates for those who have been subject to derogatory comments and other forms of harassment.

The paleolithic age. An anonymous human imparts a whole new function to "stone" objects. Man begins to break food into pieces, cut it and crush it.
2017. While people watch TV cooking programmes looking for for the very latest hi-tech kitchen devices, Swedish designer Erik Bele Höglund goes back to basics, and designs the Primitive Kitchen Tool, fashioned from HI-MACS®, for modern cavemen.
There's a lot to be said for cooking in traditional ways: there is a spirit that makes food taste better. Handling the ingredients while cooking, without using modern implements, helps one to rediscover foods, their consistency and their very essence. It makes things more interesting, but also gives a real physical sense of cooking, transforming it into a highly personal and unique act.
The Primitive Kitchen Tool turns cooking into a veritable ritual. It is constructed from HI-MACS®, a new-generation acrylic stone that is ultra-resistant and completely hygienic, and thus perfect for use with foodstuffs. Its pore-free surface prevents any build-up of waste or bacteria, making the kitchenware easier to clean.
Further, the ability to seamlessly join HI-MACS® means that it appears to be fashioned from a single piece of material, as if created by nature. We have thus moved on from natural stone to acrylic stone, but with improved safety and functionality.
The Primitive Kitchen Tool is made up of two pieces: a platter, with various hollows in which foods may be placed and prepared, and a "stone", which has two functions: the sharp end, to slice and cut (with different sized blades), or the blunt end of the handle, to crush and grind as with a traditional pessle and mortar.

Thread: My Islamiat Notes (Kindly Check)
Roshan wadhwani
Location: Islamabad, MoFA
Belief In Risalat
Outline:
•	Definition Of Nabi
•	Proofs From the Quran And Hadith
•	Conclusion
Definition Of Nabi:
The word Prophet or Nabi means "An ambassador between Allah and the rational being from amongst creatures." Thus the second part of the Kalima, signifies that God has not left man without guidance for the conduct of his life. He has revealed His commands through His prophets. Thus, in Islamic teachings Risalat means transmitting or reaching the commandment of Allah revealed to a chosen by Him to the Creature of God. These commandments and percept may be in the form of a verbal message or practice of a prophet and these are to be conveyed to people by an Apostle, this is called Risalat or Prophethood.
The belief in the finality of Prophethood bears as much importance as other convictions of faith, because without verbal acceptance and inner conviction of this faith no one enters the fold of Islam.
Proofs From The Quran And Hadith:
The Holy Quran says:
"Mohammad is not the father of any man among you, but he is the Messenger of Allah, and the seal of the Prophets, and Allah is aware of all things."
(Al-Ahzab: 40)
The second basic postulate of Islam is to believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad and to accept the religion presented by him, and to follow his commands.
"O' thou Prophet!
We have surely sent thee as a
witness and as bringer of
glad tidings and as a warner.
And as one who summons towards
God with His commands and
as a light-giving sun.
and give glad tidings to the
faithful that for them is great
grace from God."
(Al-Ahzab: 45-47)
The Muslims must have faith not in Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) alone but also in all other prophets who appeared before Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). "Righteousness is this that one should have faith in Allah; and the Last Day and the angels, the books and the prophets." (Al-Quran). All the prophets belong to one community and they were all raised for the same purpose and their teachings were essentially the same.
Mohammad is the last prophet and as such the final model for mankind. To believe in him means to accept his authority as representative of the Supreme Lord and follow his example in thought and behaviour. Belief in him involves the acceptance of Sharia, the Path, he conveyed and implement that in all walks of life. Thus the will of God is fulfilled on the earth.
The Quran said:
"Every Messenger who was sent by Us was sent for the purpose that he should be obeyed under the sanction of Allah."
(An-Nisa: 69)
And that for the last prophet it is explicitly stated that:
'Nay, O, Mohammad! By your Lord, They are not believer until they accept you the final arbiter in all their disputes and submit your decision whole heartedly without headache."
The test of acceptance in God and prophets lies in conducting all human affairs in accord with the Law revealed by Allah.
"And those who do not make their decisions in accordance with that revealed by God, they (in fact) are disbelievers."
(Al-Ma'ida: 44)
It was announced by Prophet (PBUH) that:
"I am the last messenger, there will be no messenger after me."
Therefore, after the advent of the last Prophet, the message of Islam has come to its perfection. There will be no prophet after as he was the seal of prophets.
Above stated facts prove that "Faith in the finality of prophet" has got fundamental value. Together with faith in the oneness of God, it is imperative also to have faith that Muhammad (PBUH) of all the prophets came in the last and God completed His Commands and messages through him, and also that his Prophethood was not for a particular people, but he was chosen as an Apostle for the entire world. The canons communicated through him are to last till Doomsday and these percept and practices were made to be followed as Quranic injunctions in all times. No deviation from this is ever permissible. Under these circumstances if any one claims himself to be a Prophet, he is a liar, imposter and Dajjjal. Anyone following him is an infidel.

Ashburnham County
Dividing the Colony into Counties
If you ask contemporary school students how Australia is divided into smaller sections, they will inform you of the six states and two territories. A correct answer, and some of these students may be able to enlighten you that each state is divided into smaller sections – regions, towns, cities, villages and so on. The term 'county' may not be as familiar to students both young and old. There is an Ashburnham Road in Daroobalgie which is about 25km from Parkes off the Newell Highway (and only 16km from Forbes). However to most Parkes residents the term Ashburnham refers to something from a bygone era. Today, Local Government Areas (LGAs) are the third tier of government in Australia below state and federal governments. This was different when Australia was first settled by Europeans. The English were used to administrative terms such as parishes, counties and shires – the term 'county' can be traced back to the Norman era in England and is still in use today (Hampton, W. (1991). Local Government and Urban Politics.) J.F. Atchison, lecturer and formerly of the Geographical Names Board of New South Wales, explains why the English settlers required the compartmentalising of vast tracts of land in the new colony:
The erection of counties was demanded, as a requirement of control and administration, to keep pace with the progress of land settlement which, in turn, reflected the economic development of the colony.
Atchison, J.F. (1980) page 32
Without wanting to burden readers with surveying jargon, the map of New South Wales was developed into a cadastral map. The colony of New South Wales was divided into counties. In turn each county was divided into parishes and within the parishes were the towns or cities. Over time, the town and city names have remained whilst parishes and counties have become obsolete to most of the general populace. The county that included the modern day Parkes Shire was called Ashburnham. Ashburnham included the following parishes:
The complete list of parishes within the county of Ashburnham. Also included are the LGAs each parish falls under today. Source: Wikipedia
The counties surrounding Ashburnham are Kennedy and Gordon to the north; county of Wellington to the north east; county of Bathurst to the south east; county of Forbes to the south; Gipps in the south west; and Cunningham to the west.
Map of the County of Ashburnham, dated 4th January 1933. Created by the NSW Department of Lands. Source: Trove website
Ashburnham became a county in 1850 and was one of many swift developments in the colony as reported by Atchison.
With the proclamation of the Orders-in-Council in 1847 central government authorities acted quickly to prevent the rise of unwanted townships and to survey the sites of halting places along the main thoroughfares. This, with the requirement of squatters to register the boundaries of their runs, accelerated the need for new counties. At the end of 1848 Governor Charles FitzRoy proclaimed a group of thirty one counties but only fifteen of them fell within New South Wales as presently constituted: Beresford, Buccleuch, Buckland, Clarence, Cowley, Dampier, Dudley Hawes, Parry, Raleigh, Richmond, Rous, Vernon, Wallace and Wellesley.
Two years later, as the Survey Department geared up for the days of more intensive cadastral survey and as the courts prepared for adjudication on boundary disputes between litigious squatters, Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell authorised the erection of a further 32 counties, eighteen of which fell within the present boundaries of the State: Ashburnham, Buller, Clarendon, Clive, Darling, Drake, Gordon, Goulburn, Gowen, Gresham, Harden, Inglis, Lincoln, Monteagle, Napier, Pottinger, Sandon and Wynyard.
Today counties are almost unknown, with different terms used. Atchison points out that
Although the county system of territorial division did not prove useful as a unit of local government in New South Wales it, along with the parish in the central and eastern divisions, does survive in the land survey as a means of describing allotments in deeds. For much of the nineteenth century the county was also a statistical area for collecting data on population, pastoralism and agriculture. Within the settled districts the counties were used as the basis of the electoral divisions.
The Origin of Ashburnham
Like a lot of Australian landmarks the origin of its name began in the United Kingdom. In regards to Ashburnham, this can be traced back to the Derbyshire Dales and a derivation of the name, Esseburne, can be found in the Domesday Book.
The surname Ashburnham was first found in Derbyshire, at Ashbourne, a market town in the Derbyshire Dales now famous for its historic Shrovetide football match. The first record was found in the Domesday Book where it was listed as Esseburne, having derived from the Old English aesc + burna, meaning "stream where the ash-trees grow"
Source: House of Names website
It may seem strange to modern readers that so many counties were named after British aristocracy or military leaders. However even in the Anglo-centric days of colonialism there was the beginning of a movement to more Australian names. Captain Arthur Phillip drank a toast to the County of Cumberland (King George III's brother was Henry Frederick, the Duke of Cumberland) in 1788 and this pattern of naming figures who had no connection with the colony continued until 1860. Michael Fitzpatrick, Under-Secretary for Lands, initiated "…usage of names with local significance". John Robertson, Secretary for Lands, not only agreed but also suggested that Aboriginal place-names were desirable. Further support came from Reverend John Dunmore Lang who also favoured Aboriginal names that were closely identified with particular places. (Atchison, J.F. (1980) pp 33, 36)
So influential were the aforementioned men that Acting Surveyor-General, Alexander McLean, prepared "… another list of 54 names, which were mainly local. Fifteen were of Aboriginal origin but no language or dialect grouping was listed and no meanings, sacred, legal, social or hunting association, were indicated; let alone the Aboriginal source of the name." (Atchison (1980) page 37)
Reverend Lang was so moved towards a push for Aboriginal place names that Atchison records his poem:
I like the native names, as Parramatta,
And Illawarra, and Woolloomoolloo,
Nandowra, Woogarora, Bulkomatta,
Tomah, Toongabbie, Mittagong, Meroo;
Buckobble, Cumleroy, and Coolingatta,
The Warragumby, Bargo, Burradoo;
Cookbundoon, Carrabaiga, Wingecarribbee,
The Wollondilly, Yurumbon, Bungarribbee.
I hate your Goulburn Downs and Goulburn Plains,
And Goulburn River and the Goulburn Range,
And Mount Goulburn and Goulburn Vale! One's brains
Are turned with Goulburns! Vile scorbutic mange
For immortality! Had I the reins
Of Government for a fortnight, I would change
These Downing Street appellatives, and give
The country names that should deserve to live."

Bertram Ashburnham (1797-1878), 4th Earl of Ashburnham, was a great traveller and a fanatical collector of books and manuscripts, whose collections rivalled those of his contemporary, Sir Thomas Phillipps since if smaller they were arguably of greater significance. Unfortunately, he frequently bought material with a dodgy provenance, and when his son offered to sell his collections to the nation in the 1880s the French and Italian authorities pressed claims to some of the material, and the sales realised a much lower figure than he hoped and were only realised at the end of the century after much legal wrangling.

Campden Wealth looks forward to hosting patriarchs, matriarchs and next gens and at the exclusive 15th Families in Business Conference, in association with Societe Generale Private Banking, in the beautiful Spanish capital of Madrid on 12-13 June. Delegates are invited to enjoy the glittering European Families in Business Awards in a private gala dinner on the evening of 12 June.
Nicholas Moody, editor of CampdenFB and a member of the panel, said he was always surprised by the quality and geographic diversity of nominees.
"The awards draws out a wonderful collection of entrants from a wide range of sectors. Last year we had nominations from more than 20 different countries across the continent," Moody said.
"As the European economy returns to health, the judges are on the lookout for those 'hidden champions' helping to power up Europe. That does not necessarily mean the biggest is the best. The awards give those market-leading European family businesses, from local enterprises to global conglomerates, the chance to shine."
Last year's Top Family Business of the Year winner was Elisabetta Fabri (Starhotels), the Top Family Business Leader of the Year winner was Cyril Camus (Camus), the Top Family Business Rising Star of the Year winner was Martin Prinz (Croma-Pharma), the Top Next Generation Entrepreneur of the Year winner was Galahad Clark (Vivobarefoot), the Top Non-Family Director of the Year winner was Michaela Doll Lämmer (Europa-Park) and the Top Sustainable Business of the Year winner was Mariella Speciale (CIR Group).

The Israeli Ministry of Economy is collaborating with Chinese venture capital firms DayDayUp and ShengJing360 to launch two accelerators for Israeli startups in Beijing. On Tuesday, the ministry of Economy announced the ten startups selected to participate in the program at a conference held in Tel Aviv.
Among the startups chosen to participate in the program are Tel Aviv-based artificial intelligence capital markets forecast service I Know First; Anzu, which develops immersive, 3D virtual reality-based advertising platform; Watteam, an Irvine, California-headquartered company developing a smart power meter for cyclists; and TechsoMed, a MedTech startup developing ultrasound-based tumor monitoring and treatment systems.
Shengjing360 has already invested approximately $100 million in Israeli ventures through limited partnerships in Israel-based venture capital funds as well as through direct investment in Israeli startups. DayDayUp is a shared office space company and leading business community in China. DayDayUp's Beijing offices already host seven Israeli startups.
The ten selected startup will participate in a six-month program in Beijing, which will include mentorship and advise on legal and regulatory issues related to the Chinese market. The program will also facilitate meetings with potential clients and investors.
"As Chinese companies and investors are looking for new technologies from Israel, Israeli companies are showing a willingness to enter the Chinese market," DayDayUp founder Bo Yiqun said in a statement.

Day 1 of BC Cider week | Faustino Estate Cidery from Osoyoos, BC.
Faustino Estate Cidery is located in Canada's only desert, Osoyoos, BC. This is one of the best spots in the country to grow premium fruit. Owned by Anna and Jack Faustino Relvas, a Portuguese Family who have been growing fruit on their estate farm for decades, the couple decided to use some of this premium fruit and turn it into Cider.
Faustino offers 5 different Ciders: Semi Sweet Apple, Dry Apple, Apple Peach (our fav!), Apple Quince and Apple Pear. Each cider is carefully pressed with 100% natural fruit juice. Not from concentrate. No water added.
And, for all you wine lovers out there, Faustino is located right off the wine route trail in between Osoyoos and Oliver. We recommend stopping at the cidery once you finish wine tasting as their cider is so refreshing and crisp, it will be the perfect way to end your tasting tour.
The cidery is open from May to October or by appointment.

American religion, again
Hey Richard-- Sorry to bother you again with a question about religion in America, but I just hacked out a stub on Unitarianism, and I was wondering if you might take a look at it. I feel reasonably comfortable about the first paragraph, where I distinguish between the denomination and the theology of the godhead, but I wanted to make sure I didn't make any howlers in my discussion of early Unitarianism, particularly in America. Feel free to change anything you like, as American religion is a mere side-interest of mine. Thanks, Brian P. Long 15:53, 6 May 2008 (CDT)

Hello Dr. Jensen, could you see here about the naming of the Liancourt Rocks/Dokdo/Takeshima article that I'm going to start? I borrowed my book on Imjin War to one of my friends so I can't work on the Korean War of 1592-1598 right now. Thank you very much. (Chunbum Park 23:54, 8 May 2008 (CDT))
it's the author's call (Chunbum's) -- I lean to "Liancourt Rocks / Takeshima / Dokdo / Tokto" see for military discussion) Richard Jensen 00:15, 9 May 2008 (CDT)
Hello, I never considered that. I'm used to being in Wikipedia, so multiple names is not so obvious to me. Thank you, I'll suggest that in the discussion. (Chunbum Park 08:35, 9 May 2008 (CDT))
Actually, I can't make it author's call - the issue's too big for me to take full responsibility. See these news articles: Joseon Ilbo, Livedoor, Japan Probe, & OhMyNews. (Chunbum Park 08:48, 9 May 2008 (CDT))

Removing the Bruce-Lovett report
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been deleted, because it sure sounds like an extremely dubious document. (Puzzling, because Schlesinger has a good reputation, so 2+2 aren't adding up here - but that's a rathole for another day!) I just like everyone to be cheerful. (Not the world's worst character flaw, eh?) J. Noel Chiappa 11:05, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
I really like Schlesinger -- but he handled so many tens of thousands of documents that he let this one slip through. In his defense he was not writing about 1956 but about a later period (1960-61). I think somebody made a mock "report" and Kennedy laughed about it and kept it -- and Schlesinger thought it was real. I used to be active in archival circles (I was on the FBI Archives advisory board), and know US government agencies all have multiple checklists to deal with real documents (none of which show the existence of this document). As for keeping people happy, I think Howard C. Berkowitz, who's doing terrific work, appreciates fellow experts helping him out. That is what CZ is all about: collaboration. Richard Jensen 11:17, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
Yes, that struck me as the likeliest possibility (if it's not real); that somehow this thing got into RFK's files, and Schlesinger took it for real. (The other possibility, if it's not real, being that Schlesinger faked it, which seems considerably less likely.)
The problem I have with that theory is 'where is it, then'? Since the RFK Archive people have looked for it, and can't find it, one now sort of has to come up with an explanation as to why (again, assuming that Schlesinger really saw such a thing). Did they just miss it somehow (perhaps because it's misfiled)? Did it somehow get lost (e.g. someone borrowed it, and didn't return it)? Did someone have it removed from the archives (to cover up the faking, perhaps)? And if that could have happened, couldn't it also have happened it if were real? Etc, etc...
As a side question, again assuming Schlesinger really saw such a document, one has to wonder 'why did someone go to the effort of creating this fake'? The CSI theory is that it would have wound up in RFK's files in the very early 60s, well before the CIA had a raft of people out after it. A bureacratic rival?
If it is real, I wonder if the reason it doesn't show up on any logs, etc is that it could have been an informal document solicited by Eisenhower from these two people in a quiet way - perhaps because he wanted them to be very frank, and be willing to break some institutional rice bowls.
Etc, etc. Very curious, all around. J. Noel Chiappa 11:46, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
Yeah, it's curioser and curiouser. We knoe Ike did not see it. His staff was VERY efficient in logging in every document that went to the White House, and there is no such document, and no such log record, at the Eisenhower archives. The simplest explanation is that it was a draft that never became an official report, or that it was a a prank that Schlesinger misunderstood. I can't believe Schlesinger faked it--he knew a real document would have a long paper trail at the CIA, White House etc. and that a fake document would humiliate his reputation (as hapened to Trevor Roper who authenticated the fake Hitler diaries.) As we know from the CBS-Dan-Rather-National Guard business, it's easy to fake a typewritten report. If we had the copy Schlesinger used we could use standard techniques to maybe discover if it was a later fake, but his copy has vanished and so have his notes. Maybe Schlesinger realized it was a fake and discarded it instead of returning it to the Kennedy Library?? Alas, he was quoting himself on the subject as late as 2000. so that theory is out.Richard Jensen 13:42, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
Seems like a lot of work for a prank, but I guess it's possible.
Here's another theory, which draws on your suggestion that it may have been a draft: perhaps it wasn't drawn up as a formal report, but rather an aide-memoire for one (or both) of them, as part of a review requested (perhaps verbally) by Eisenhoweer, and the results of that review were presented to Eisenhower verbally? I know, I know, it's a bit of a reach, but it is, I think, plausible (especially if it involved the potential breakage of rice bowls, they might want to do that quietly). Unfortunately, the only evidence for this possibility is, in the best conspiracy theory style, the lack of evidence!
Yet another one, drawing this time on your "a fake document would humiliate his reputation": Schlesinger eventually realized it wasn't real, and he'd been had, and he didn't want the embarassment of coming out and admitting he'd been had. So he disappears the original document, and his notes, leaving fog behind... that keeps him clear, and minimizes the damage to the historical record.
And a variant on that one: he falsely comes to believe it was a fake (because nobody can find any contemporary cross-references), even though it was in fact real (but very oddball), and events ensue as in the previous one. And I'd better stop there before my fantasies become too elaborate! :-) J. Noel Chiappa 14:26, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
I lean to the aide-memoire hypothesis. There was no commission, no staff, no study, no report. But Bruce and/or Lovett exchanged private memos. How did Kennedy get a copy? One suggestion on the web is RFK headed a stury of what went wrong at CIA's Bay of Pigs. Lovett testified and was harsh on CIA, and gave Kennedy the private memo. Ok--here's another (better?) possibility. Schlesinger hismelf was involved in the investigation of the Bay of Pigs, Lovett or his aide gave SCHLESINGER the draft in 1961. In 1968 when it came time to write the book on Bobby the draft was at hand, and Schlesinger made the mistake of saying he found it in the Kenedy papers. (We know it was never logged into the Kennedy papers--the Kennedy Library has very good archivists who track these things.) This explains why the Kennedy papers lack the copy--they never had it. Likewise Eisenhower never had it. So what did Schlesinger do with his own copy and the notes he took?? Richard Jensen 14:36, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
That hypothesis (that Schlesinger misremembered where it was) is another good possibility - but as you say, it does raise the question of what happened to his copy - and we still have the question of why there's no copy in the Bruce archives. Of course, if it was an aide-memoire for Lovett (who was the one who testified, after all - our hypothetical transmission channel), it might quite reasonably not be in Bruce's files. I wonder if Lovett had archives, and if so, if people have looked there? Or perhaps there was only one typed original, and whoever (Lovett?) gave it to Schlesinger (or RFK), and it's now lost? Or maybe Schlesigner thought it was in the Kennedy, and as result never bothered to look in his own files because of that? I wonder where his papers are now, and if they've been searched?
As to the notes, Schlesinger says he gave his original notes to Grose, and didn't retain a copy (!!). (And why did he make notes if he had the original? But perhaps he was confused, even back then, as to where it was?) Again, slightly odd, but not impossible.
I have sent email to the person at Cryptome who had a copy of the CSI mention of it on his web-site, so perhaps he can provide something more recent. J. Noel Chiappa 16:35, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
Schlesinger's papers were recently purchased by CCNY--I suppose it will take a few years to sort them. Suppose--if-perhaps--in 1961 he saw the memo and made notes. (He could have been shown the memo by X for a few hours, made notes, then returned it to X.) Then perhaps in 1969 when he wrote his book on RFK he only used his notes. (This was not a central point and no need to track down the original when you have your own notes.) Then in writing up the appropriate footnote he got mixed up, and said the original was in the Kennedy collection when it was not. Schlesinger does emphasize in his book that no one paid any attention to the memo in 1956. (Which I think is because no one saw it then.) As for giving the notes to Gose?? Schlesinger had a secretary and xerox machine, and so the idea he mailed off his only copy, the Gose lost them, seems odd as well. Richard Jensen 17:12, 16 May 2008 (CDT)
I like that one (that he was shown a copy, made notes, and got confused about where he'd seen them) too, but I wonder why he thought he'd just seen them in the RFK papers (presumably shortly after RFK died, because Schlesigner apparently said something about "before they were deposited at the JFK library"), when under this theory it was many years before. Maybe he got confused because there was an RFK connection in both cases? I see also the book was published in '68, which would have been shortly after RFK was killed - maybe he was under time pressure to get it out, and made a mistake because of that?
I too was puzzled as to why Schlesigner didn't have a copy of his notes any more (see incredulity above), but the CSI newsletter indicates they interacted with him directly: Professor Schlesinger informed us .. [h]e had loaned Grose his notes and does not have a copy of these notes. So either he's mistaken, or he did loan out his only copy... who knows? Another odd circumstance.
I got a reply from Mr. John Young, who has a copy of the CSI thing on the Cryptome website; he suggested we contact Mr. Grose to persue this further; I asked him if he knew how to do that.
Late addition: See the Talk:CIA page - I think I have found testimony from Lovett confirming he and Bruce did an investigation. J. Noel Chiappa 18:29, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

Latinos and Hispanics
I was just looking at the draft of the week. I was always taught that Latinos included people from Latin America that spoke Romance languages whereas Hispanics were only those that spoke Spanish (not Brazil, Suriname, etc.). The new draft of Latino History is a little confusing in the lead. I haven't had time to read the whole article yet, but you may want to look over it.--David Boven 11:00, 22 May 2008 (CDT)

New type of subpage
Officially these need to be approved before being hardwired but I have set up the subpages template such that you can start using an experimental version. My thinking is that if an experimental subpage becomes popular then this will be a strong reason to adopt it to the official list. The way to set up an experimental tab is to add "|tab1=New Subpage name" into the metadata page. You can see an example of this type of addition at Damon_Knight_Memorial_Grand_Master_Award for the Honorees tab. The full proposal for adding new subpage types in this way can be read at CZ:Proposals/Should_we_allow_article_specific_subpages?. Let me know if this does not make sense. Chris Day 22:37, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
thanks. I'm proposing a standard subpage for all history articles for "Primary sources"-- excerpts of original historical documents. For copyright reasons these will be old documents (or government documents), and thus seem most appropriate for History, but others can use them too. I expect several hundred history articles could use this subpage effective. Richard Jensen 23:39, 5 June 2008 (CDT)
Note that Larry affirms it needs approval before being hardwired. Chris Day 09:53, 6 June 2008 (CDT)
Certainly articles like Hippocrates and Galen could use a "Primary sources" subpage. --Anthony.Sebastian 00:04, 7 June 2008 (CDT)
Approval of United States Environmental Protection Agency
Richard, I would like to have the subject article approved. Since you and I are the only two who worked on it, it is my understanding that we cannot nominate it for approval. Do you have any ideas as to which editors we could approach about nominating this article for approval? - Milton Beychok 04:51, 7 June 2008 (CDT)
hmm.. i'll ask. First how about changing the title to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. (It's real name is just Environmental Protection Agency., and the U.S. is an identifier versus state agencies.) Richard Jensen 06:03, 7 June 2008 (CDT)
When I find the time, I will change the "United States" to "U.S." or "U.S.A." ... there is some discussion going on in the General Forums about standardizing what article name to use in just this case and I would like to wait until that shakes out. Moving the article name involves moving the entire cluster of subpages, metadata page, approval page, etc. and is quite tedious and time consuming.
In any event, The U.S. or the U.S.A. is more than an identifier versus the state agencies ... many foreign countries also have very similar Environmental Protection names.
Have you ever worked with the editor Anthony Argyriou? If you have, would you be so kind as to approach him about nominating the article? - Milton Beychok 13:37, 7 June 2008 (CDT)
Ok I just asked him at User talk:Anthony Argyriou Richard Jensen 21:05, 7 June 2008 (CDT)
Richard, would you please read my comments on the Talk page of the article regarding your thoughts on changing the article name? I think we need more discussion before changing the name. Thanks in advance. Milton Beychok 16:12, 8 June 2008 (CDT)

On medieval referencing
Hi Richard--since things change over time, and it has been mumble mumble years since I was in school, can you refresh my memory?
If I want to quote a medieval book and I have a) a 19th century complete reprint of it and b) there is a complete scanned copy of the original in the national library that I have reviewed, but c) I've never actually seen the original hard copy, when I put it in my biblio, do I put the original, or because I haven't actually held the hard copy, do I reference only the reprint?
Aleta Curry 18:46, 16 June 2008 (CDT)
I think either one works. The goal in a scholarly article is to prove whether you saw the original or a photocopy of it (you did), but that's not an issue here. I would cite the version that users are most likely to come across (probably the reprint, which is much cheaper and so libraries could buy it.) Be sure to mention the original date. For really expensive books the rare book library only lets most people handle the photocopy. Richard Jensen 19:20, 16 June 2008 (CDT)

you may not have seen this, since it was in the radar technical article, but, while the author is a bit provocative in some statements, he's right that Germany had some more advanced radar technology, but didn't have enough system thinking around it.

LOL...of course. Chaff makes nice Christmas decoration. Do you have R.V. Jones' The Wizard War?
Seriously, I'm updating and generalizing integrated air defense system. The Germans did develop some not-unreasonable IADS, but, by the time the large-scale Allied bomber forces flew against them, the Allies also knew more about electronic warfare. A number of the more effective techniques were deliberately held back until the invasion of France. Howard C. Berkowitz 21:16, 25 June 2008 (CDT)
While it was indeed Luftwaffe in WWII, the term, AFAIK, is still in use. I've seen transports in Luftwaffe markings at Dulles International Airport, over at the General Aviation terminal.Howard C. Berkowitz 00:11, 26 June 2008 (CDT)
Dokdo
Thank you for your approval, Dr. Jensen! People weren't approving the article, so I planned to take the article off the list after this vote but I guess I don't have to. If you have doubts about the neutrality of the article or you are interested in the subject & would like a neutral & professional view on this issue, please take a look at this article written by a Japanese historian - Hideki Kajimura: The Question of Takeshima/Tokdo. Thank you. (Chunbum Park 18:07, 1 July 2008 (CDT))
Actually, I'd think that you would stop reading the pdf by the 1st page or so, so here are some interesting & provocative quotes from the pdf:
To presume that the existence of Takeshima ~ Tokdo was not known to those people who lived and engaged in farming on Ullungdo for several hundred years is caused by a prejudice regarding Koreans as half-witted.
...the Japanese government confirmed Takeshima/Ullungdo as Korean's inherent territory in 1696, and took the measure of prohibiting completely Japanese from making voyage there.
The word "voyage" (or crossing sea) means voyage to a foreign country (since a permit is not needed for going to a domestic island), and the fact that the Japanese/government issued a permit of voyage to Matsushima means that the Japanese government did not regard it as a Japanese territory...
During the heated anti-foreign campaign between 1952 and 1954 the notion that "Takeshima ~ Tokdo is Japan's inherent territory penetrated into the Japanese for the first time. This campaign was also utilized clearly as a means to push for Japan's military rearmament.

thanks for the tip. And thanks for a very good article! You have the knack for writing for the encyclopedia. Richard Jensen 18:55, 1 July 2008 (CDT)
Richard, could you move AFL to American Federation of Labor? Eventually someone will write an article about the American Football League, so we will be needing a disambiguation page. David E. Volk 14:08, 7 July 2008 (CDT)
OK, done. Richard Jensen 18:57, 7 July 2008 (CDT)
Thanks David E. Volk 22:02, 7 July 2008 (CDT)
Dokdo approval
Hello Dr. Jensen,
I think I finished the Dokdo article. Could you see if it can be approved? Thank you very much. (Chunbum Park 21:45, 17 July 2008 (CDT))
Thank you. I made a few edits afterward. They would be included in the approved version? (Chunbum Park 00:22, 18 July 2008 (CDT))
yes. you did a good job! Richard Jensen 10:19, 18 July 2008 (CDT)
Hi Richard, I left a message ont he talk page: This article is up for approval today. I see that there are several edits since the date that Richard Jensen placed the template. If we want those included, the version date needs to reflect that change, otherwise I will use the latest version before that approval was made. D. Matt Innis 08:16, 21 July 2008 (CDT)
Hello Dr. Jensen. I think here you said "yes" to the edits made after you put the approval template. Didn't you? Thank you. (Chunbum Park 10:43, 21 July 2008 (CDT))
Approved! Thanks for the last look ;-) D. Matt Innis 14:47, 22 July 2008 (CDT)
Dr. Jensen, are you still around? Just checking. I've seen about a page about "dead Wikipedians"... I hope we don't see something like that here for a long time. (Chunbum Park 11:23, 29 August 2008 (CDT))
I was forced to take a long "vacation" from CZ. :( Richard Jensen 15:55, 29 August 2008 (CDT)
"forced" ??? (Chunbum Park 18:48, 29 August 2008 (CDT))
yes--officially asked to take a long leave. Richard Jensen 21:21, 29 August 2008 (CDT)
I see. How come? This must be the first case that someone's been "ousted" from Citizendium. (Chunbum Park 16:08, 30 August 2008 (CDT))
I find myself forced to correct Richard's misleading statement. If Richard sincerely believes that he was "forced to take a long 'vacation' from CZ," he misread e-mails that were sent to him. Without elaborating on his situation--which we may do if Richard wishes which is his right--he retains the right to contribute here. If he did not know that, he does now.
Indeed we have "ousted" several other people from CZ, but have not done so in many months now (simply because we have had fewer problems). "Ousted" and "forced" are the incorrect descriptions, however, because they imply a raw, blind power struggle as opposed to a regular "legal" process; if someone is removed from participation in CZ, however, it is always done through due process and is subject to appeal. Believe it or not, I and many other people in CZ care very much about such matters. --Larry Sanger 22:59, 1 September 2008 (CDT)
Richard Jensen was asked to take a 'holiday' from editing here. He was humiliated before he was stood on, basically. In a purely understandable response to this, Richard told them where they could stick their wiki. Denis Cavanagh 23:03, 1 September 2008 (CDT)
Dr. Jensen, Dr. Sanger says you can still contribute. I think you should. I'm not sure what the problem was, but we should all be fully aware that Citizendium needs more people like you participating. We have 100s of PhD accounts registered that have no edits at all. (Chunbum Park 15:27, 2 September 2008 (CDT))
Richard is now editing on Conservapedia. John Stephenson 22:23, 3 September 2008 (CDT)
We should wish him luck. --Larry Sanger 22:27, 3 September 2008 (CDT)
I'll second that. Best of luck, Richard, wherever you do your work; and many thanks for your valuable contributions to Citizendium. Brian P. Long 23:15, 3 September 2008 (CDT)
I'll second that! Hayford Peirce 23:22, 3 September 2008 (CDT)
Thanks--I'm back as well to Wikipedia. Richard Jensen 05:16, 4 September 2008 (CDT)
I hope you have an ample supply of Valium! Hayford Peirce 10:16, 4 September 2008 (CDT)
I don't like Wikipedia... well, good luck Dr. Jensen. I hope that soon all will be settled, you will recall the Citizendium experience, think how wonderful it was to be here, then change your mind & come back! : ) (Chunbum Park 18:39, 4 September 2008 (CDT))
For what it's worth, I second that. I have no idea what happened here, I guess I missed a lot over the summer. I hope time heals the rifts. Chris Day 21:08, 4 September 2008 (CDT)
Are you back?
I noticed a couple of edits earlier today from you. What a surprise! Does this mean you are back? --Larry Sanger 20:03, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Welcome back! Let's have a party!
"Chunbum Park brings 6 bottles of ^ beer and gulps one down." (Chunbum Park 20:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC))
No I'm on sabbatical for the next three years. Richard Jensen 20:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
It's been 1 yr already in Mercurian calendar. (Chunbum Park 04:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC))
Hello Dr. Jenson. How are you doing? Will you come back in November 7, 2011? (Chunbum Park 02:25, 3 November 2009 (UTC))

For online retailers, there's more competition than ever before. Cyber Monday brought in more than $2 billion for online retailers in 2014, and holiday spending was up 15 percent from the year before, according to a ComScore report.
To be sure they don't miss out on this incredible time for sales, some merchants already have begun plotting their holiday marketing strategy, which includes email marketing.
Email is one of the most important aspects of a holiday strategy because in 2014, more than one in four online orders on Black Friday were placed as a direct result of email marketing. Plus, this medium was cited as the single most effective marketing channel in the United States that same year.
The subject line of your email is essential. After all, it's what gets your reader to open and discover the marketing message inside. Write a snooze-worthy subject line and your email will sit unopened until it eventually gets pushed down in the queue (and ultimately becomes out of sight, out of mind).
Next, think about your email's core objective…what should the reader do once they open the message?
When crafting your holiday emails, think about the single objective you want your customer to accomplish as a result of opening and reading your message. Eliminate decision fatigue by resisting the temptation to showcase every sale and promotion—just focus on the single-best promotion based on past success or customer feedback.
Your customers are being bombarded with marketing messages all season long. Don't add to the noise by sending complex email with bells and whistles. Your email should download quickly and leverage whitespace that lets messages and images breathe.
Also, it must be mobile-friendly. According to Litmus, 53 percent of all emails are opened on a mobile device—so if your content doesn't display correctly in those environments, your customers probably won't take the time to pinch and scroll until they can see things clearly.

Cannes 2018 Highlights
Cannes came and went, and under no circumstances could we miss the opportunity of talking about it for a bit. As opposed to the big three of Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Academy Awards, who are all aimed at a primarily mainstream audience and usually offer all expect one awards to productions spoken in English, the Cannes Film Festival is a bit more niche-oriented, and the awarded projects are usually more refined, daring and often controversial. Not to mention that the winning entry is almost always from a different country. Let's go through some of this year's highlights.
Palme d'Or: Shoplifters (Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan)
This year's grand winner moves from Sweden all the way to Japan, and director Hirokazu Kore-eda, who had previously been nominated for other awards at Cannes, he finally got the recognition he deserved with his 18th film. The project is set in a poor neighborhood of Tokyo, where a family has to ensure its day-to-day survival by resorting to shoplifting. The official release in Japan happened only a few days ago, on 8 June 2018.
Un Certain Regard: Border (Ali Abbasi, Sweden)
This category awards daring, nontraditional and unorthodox filmmaking – the jury is different from that which is organised for the main competition, and it heavily values creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. This year's winner was Border, a Swedish psychological thriller with a fantasy twist. The less we spoil about the plot, the better – so just go watch it when you have the chance!
Best Director: Cold War (Paweł Pawlikowski, Poland)
A story loosely inspired by the lives of the director's parents, Cold War is a love story that unfolds on the backdrop of the Cold War of last century, capturing snapshots of society from Poland, Yugoslavia, Berlin and Paris. While the title is perhaps not the most inspired, sharing it with countless other productions, the film is intriguing and beautifully shot – a well-deserved recognition for Pawlikowski.
Lars von Trier is back
Cannes Festival connoisseurs will perhaps remember the Danish master's last appearance in a Cannes press conference 6 years ago – certainly an amusing and equally startling appearance. Suffice to say, von Trier's tirade about his admiration for a certain 20th century Austrian dictator resulted in a ban from the festival. Six years later, he was back and screened his newest film, The House that Jack Built, which registered quite a few walkouts during the showing, but also a six-minute standing ovation after the credits rolled.
Netflix controversy
This is such a complex topic with deep ramifications to the future of the film industry that it perhaps deserves an article on its own – it will happen in the near future. For now, the short story: Cannes views cinema as a theatrical experience, and Netflix is perhaps the biggest opponent of such an idea, with their business model based on home streaming. This year, the French festival required all the participants in its competitions to screen their films in French theatres – Netflix declined, and pulled out all its entries from both competitions and normal screenings. We're very curious what next year has in store in this saga.

La Austin Motor Corporation è stata una casa automobilistica inglese, fondata nel 1905 e confluita, nel 1952, nella British Motor Corporation Ltd. Il marchio Austin è stato utilizzato fino al 1987.

Storia

La compagnia venne fondata da Herbert Austin nel 1905 a Longbridge (Worchestershire). La sua prima automobile fu un modello piuttosto convenzionale mosso da un motore con valvole laterali di 5 litri. Lo scoppio della prima guerra mondiale incrementò notevolmente le dimensioni della Casa inglese (basti pensare che i dipendenti passarono da 2.500 a 22.000), grazie alle commesse statali per artiglieria, piccoli aeroplani e mezzi da trasporto leggero.

Alla fine del conflitto Herbert Austin, ora Sir Austin, decise di tornare alla produzione civile, utilizzando (per contenere i costi di produzione) la logica della "meccanica unica". Un solo telaio, un unico motore (di 3620cm³ con valvole laterali) e identici componenti per una serie di modelli che andavano dall'autovettura ai veicoli commerciali ai trattori.
Le vendite non decollarono e la Casa decise di introdurre nuovi modelli più economici, come la 12 hp (con motore di 1,6 litri) del 1921 e l'utilitaria Seven del 1926.
Grazie alla Seven, che venne costruita anche in Germania (da BMW), in Francia, in Giappone (dalla Datsun) e negli Stati Uniti (dalla Bantam Car Company), la Austin superò la Grande depressione del 1929.

Nel 1938 il timone della Casa passò da Sir Austin a Leonard Lord, ma lo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale vide l'Austin nuovamente impegnata nella produzione militare.

Nell'immediato dopoguerra la produzione riprese sulla base dei modelli degli ultimi anni trenta, con un'importante novità: le valvole in testa.

Dalla BMC al gruppo Austin Rover
Nel 1952 la Casa si fuse con la Nuffield Organisation (a cui apparteneva la Morris), dando vita alla British Motor Corporation Ltd. (in sigla BMC) Da qui cominciò una nuova storia non più come fabbrica indipendente bensì come marchio per alcune autovetture costruite dal gruppo BMC.

Nel 1966 la BMC acquistò la Jaguar (e conseguentemente anche la Daimler Motor Company che le apparteneva). Nel 1968 la BMC confluì nella British Leyland.

Nel 1975 la British Leyland fu salvata dal fallimento e divenne di proprietà statale. Nel 1981, nel corso di una riorganizzazione interna, la gestione dei marchi produttori di automobili per la massa (tra cui quello Austin) fu spostata ad una nuova sottodivisione, il Gruppo Austin Rover. Nel 1983 venne completato il processo di soppressione del marchio Morris, accorpato al marchio Austin per evitare la concorrenza interna tra i loro modelli.

Soppressione del marchio
Nel 1986 il governo di Margaret Thatcher mise Graham Day al vertice del Gruppo Austin Rover (che era di proprietà statale) con lo scopo di riorganizzare l'azienda per poi privatizzarla. La strategia di Day era quella di dare della casa un'immagine più prestigiosa concentrando gli sforzi sui marchi che riteneva più forti, Rover ed MG. Al contrario, Day vedeva il marchio Austin come un relitto degli anni Sessanta, che evocava insuccessi ed automobili poco amate (è sua la famosa dichiarazione secondo cui «i giovani non vogliono guidare una Austin»), così fu deciso che il marchio doveva essere soppresso.

Il cambiamento non avvenne all'improvviso: per prima cosa nel luglio 1986 il Gruppo Austin Rover cambiò nome in Gruppo Rover; nel corso del 1987 il nome Austin fu rimosso dal materiale pubblicitario e dalle vetture Austin ancora in produzione (Metro, Maestro e Montego), alle quali da lì in poi ci si riferiva solo con il nome del modello, senza citare alcun marchio; infine con il lancio della Rover 200 nel 1989 il nuovo logo a sfondo bordeaux del Gruppo Rover sostituì definitivamente quello blu e verde del Gruppo Austin Rover.

Nel 2005, dopo il collasso del gruppo MG Rover, i diritti sul marchio Austin sono stati acquisiti dalla Nanjing Automobile. L'anno successivo la Nanjing, che aveva perso i diritti sul marchio Rover, ha manifestato l'intenzione di rilanciare il marchio Austin, in quanto questo avrebbe garantito un appeal maggiore rispetto ad un marchio cinese. Negli anni successivi la Nanjing ha è concentrato le sue risorse sul rilancio del marchio MG. Nel 2007 la Nanjing è stata assorbita dalla SAIC e di conseguenza i diritti sul marchio Austin sono passati a quest'ultima.

Gathered together, that all may thrive
Welcome to Bristol Cathedral Choir School
Gathered together that all may thrive
We "gather together" as a supportive learning community where all are invited that they may discover and achieve their full potential. As a Church of England Academy, our school is shaped by our Christian vision "that all may thrive" and our community is built on our core values of Kindness, Courage and Hope, shaping everything we do.
We are enriched by our music specialism and shared heritage with the Cathedral. A choir has been singing on the site since the Augustinian monastery was founded in 1140 and as Bristol's oldest school, we are proud of our long traditions; this includes educating the choristers for the Cathedral Choir from Year 7.
We have a comprehensive intake and welcome students of all faiths and none. We are part of Cathedral Schools Trust and also have National Teaching School accreditation. There are currently over 1000 students, from all parts of Bristol, in Years 7 to 13.
The music specialism provides an exceptional range of opportunities. Our choirs and ensembles have established a national reputation across a range of genres, from gospel to classical orchestral works.
Ofsted commented that "we use this diversity to create an ethos and culture that results in the incredibly harmonious community that is an absolute joy to experience."
The school has a reputation built on outstanding academic progress and outcomes, both at KS4 and KS5. Our Sixth Form attracts a large number of entrants into Year 12 and is now established as a centre of excellence for A Level study.
We are determined that all of our students have equality of opportunity, both while with us and in the future. It is part of our vision that students from vulnerable groups and starting points will thrive at BCCS. Outstanding student engagement and leadership, in and out of the classroom, is the driving force behind our community. Our students have chosen our school values of Kindness, Courage and Hope for our community and environment.
Our staff and governors work with enormous commitment and passion to provide these opportunities for young people. Thank you for your interest in the school. If you would like to find out more please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Paul Atkins - Head of School
We hope that our website offers a sense of the vibrancy and diversity within our close community.
Everyone is expected to get involved beyond the classroom. Whether it is gospel singing, playing chess or running around a rugby field, there will be something for you. Student-led initiatives such as the Equalities Group or Student Parliament allow us to contribute to the important agendas in the school. We mix across the year groups, in a range of opportunities including mentoring, vertical tutor groups, drama, sport and music.
Teachers go the "extra mile" and students work hard to support each other. It is a busy, dynamic and fun place to learn.

What to expect from the Lerkendal Stadion crowd?
Lerkendal Stadion crowd
DoggyDog 2 years ago
The people of Trondheim are known for their hospitality and they always welcome away supporters with open arms to their city. The most devoted Rosenberg fans are called the Kjernen and they usually sit in the Upper Adressa Stand.
Here they will chant and applause in a kind-hearted manner. There are usually not many away fans at these games as visiting teams usually don't bring big crowds with them. If it is a big game there may be 1500 away fans, but usually there are only 200-300 of them.

Rosenborg BK are by far and away the best club in Norway and will win the title more often than not, indeed they have won the double of league and national cup for the last two years in a row. Think the Bayern Munich of Norway. As such the atmosphere is generally good for domestic matches, however it is in the Europa League that the stadium comes alive as they welcome in some of Europe's biggest teams.

Community surprises Wis. police officer battling cancer with new car
CORNELL, Wis. -- A Wisconsin community surprised the family of one of their police officers with a new car.
The officer's wife said her husband is battling cancer and the gift could really help the family.
When Cornell Police Officer Luke Abbate was recently diagnosed with cancer, the small community he serves jumped into action.
"He's an all-around a great guy to work with, and there's nothing more you can really say about the guy," said Cornell Police Chief Brian Hurt.
"The teachers were talking about what we could do to possibly help and support this family, going through this issue. And then we just put the dots together, and here we are," said Niki Hale, who nominated the Abbate family along with Kaylee Hurth.
Here was outside of the Cornell Police Department, where on Friday morning, Luke's wife, Alayna, was surprised with a new car as part of Morrie's Mazda 60 Days of Giving Campaign, reports WQOW.
"We made the trip up here. We know what you guys are going through with what's happening down there with you, Luke. That really moved us all," said Bill Bertrand of Morrie's Mazda.
"We didn't know what was going on, but here we are. We got a car," Alayna Abbate said.
Luke couldn't be there in person because he's being treated in Rochester, Minnesota.
In the past, that left Alayna stuck at home without a car. But now, all that's changed.
"It means a lot. We have a second vehicle, I can go see my husband, drive to the hospital and see him," Alayna Abbate said.
"They're just fantastic people, so we thought this would really serve the need to help their family and to really kind of get them through this time that they're going through, which is obviously very challenging," Bertrand said.
"There's really no words to, you know, say how excited we were. Cause something like this, you know, you just don't see happen in such a small community all the time," said Kaylee Kurth.
A community that's happy to hold down the fort and lift up Luke's family until he's back home.
The 60 Days of Giving Campaign has been going on for about six or seven years now. But this year -- for the first time -- the dealership partnered with mega-holiday co-op and donated a year's worth of free gas to the Abbate family.

After a tumultuous, two year process, I am so freaking excited to announce that my next book, Running to Stand Still, a New Adult Romance, will be out August 2016!
Running to Stand Still is the story of a girl desperate to leave her hometown behind her in the rearview mirror, and a boy worth staying for.
This story started to form in my mind during the winter of 2012.
I was settling in after a year of epic change + rapid decision making (moving, buying a house, getting married - all at the age of 19) and was starting to feel very, very trapped.
I was driving to class at Wayne State University, winter semester of my Junior year.
For the past five or six months I've been working my way through the second draft of my second novel (still no official title yet).
I have made it out alive, but not, unfortunately, unscathed.
I probably broke more than just the rules listed below, but these are the only ones that stick out to me.
1.) Writing in first person point of view is the hardest to write. So you shouldn't try it for your first novel. Or, really ever, because your readers might have a hard time relating to your protagonist.
It struck me when I saw her; pulling into the small back parking lot of the bar my three roommates insisted I got to early to secure a table for tonight.
Fuckers were lucky I had the day off and was bored out of my skull by the time seven o'clock rolled around.
I pressed lightly on the breaks of my truck when I saw her slam the driver's door of an old Jeep Cherokee shut and start walking towards the door, her dark hair blowing out behind her.

Rockford woman stabs man over dirty dishes
ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO) — A Rockford man was allegedly stabbed by his cousin after she says he left dirty dishes in the sink.
Rockford Police Officers responded to the 600 block of Score Street on November 4th in relation to an aggravated battery.
When officers arrived they found brother of the victim walking outside of the residence, who directed them to the victim who was near Kishwaukee Street.
Officers were able to speak with the victim, and say he had cuts on his left hand and his left cheek.
According to the criminal complaint, the victim explained to officers that 25-year-old Kalia Butler, his cousin, stabbed him after he left a dirty bowl in the sink.
Butler told police that she and the victim got into an argument and his brother broke up the fight. When the two brothers went downstairs and got in a car, Butler allegedly followed them out and stabbed the victim in the face and hands.
Butler admitted to officers that she had stabbed the victim because she was mad.
Butler is charged with two counts of Aggravated Battery.


description The Renegade features a unique axle set up which allows it it be configured three different ways: Butterfly, Imperial or Pagoda. The Renegade uses a starburst response system, a relatively thin gap, internal weight rings, and a small bearing. This Renegade features an red LED light units in each half instead of the standard metal weight rings. Thanks to Christopher Chunn for making this one available to me.


The last two years the KNIR, DAI and OIKOS joined forces to organize a course in Rome on coinage and identity in the Roman and Early modern world. In 2018, Dutch (Re)MA and PhD students will be offered the opportunity to also get acquainted with Greek coins and the methods to study them in a course in Athens, organized by the NIA, Radboud University and OIKOS. This will be the start of an alternating course on coinage as a historical source in Rome and Athens. From now onwards the KNIR and the NIA will take turns in hosting a 'coinage course' every year.
The course in Athens (2018) focuses on Greek numismatics by addressing questions of method, history, archaeology, and economy. Students will be introduced to the main coin productions of the Greek world from the birth of coinage to the Roman conquest (including the Roman Provincial coinages considered, in many respects, as Greek coinages as well). Special focus is given to methodology, quantification and a long-term economic approach. The general historical context of the coinages discussed will be addressed, while questions of iconography, of messages transmitted by coins, and notions of targeted audiences will also be considered. In addition, practical skills in coinage identification will be practiced.
The course in Rome (next edition in 2019) deals with the construction of identity through coins issued in the Roman world and the Early modern city states. In this course we explore this theme by examining the development of coinage production in these periods and addressing questions such as: Who issued the coins and the medals? Who used them? Could the messages on coins target specific audiences? What was the influence of tradition on the messages spread by this medium? What do we gain from comparing coins from different periods (antiquity and the early modern era), different types of rule (city states and empires) and different scales (local and imperial)? The course provides students with theoretical knowledge on the ideological function of coins and medals as well as on different numismatic methods. In addition, practical skills in the field of coin identification and exhibiting coins are an integral part of the course.
The Radboud University Nijmegen (RU) and the Netherlands Institute at Athens (NIA) under the auspices of OIKOS organize a postgraduate methodological intensive course in numismatics. This course is part of the joint numismatic project taking place every year, once in Athens, once in Rome (with the KNIR).
– Long-term economic approach, such as the velocity of coin circulation or the ratio between monetized and non-monetized wealth based on the specialization of the two main tutors of the course.
Historical questions will also be addressed, since this course is meant to be an introduction to both Green numismatics and numismatics as a science as well. The general historical context will be addressed for every coinage under study, while questions of iconography, of messages transmitted by coins, notions of targeted audiences will also be considered.
2 ECTS for preparing and presenting an individual assignment.
The assignment will be decided by the tutors in close discussion with the students based on their on-going research in the framework of their master and/or PhD thesis. This work (3,000 words long) is meant to examine both the capacity of students to address numismatic questions and their level of mastering the relevant bibliography and numismatic tools. The preparation for the assignment should already start before the course and a short bibliography will be addressed to the successful candidates in due time (1 ECTS).
Applications – a letter of motivation, a CV, and a recommendation letter by their supervisor (to be completed by an official grades' report for Research Master students) – should be sent to the organizers [Prof. Dr Panagiotis P. Iossif (PPI-Radboud Universiteit/EBSA) and Prof. Dr François de Callataÿ (FdC-Royal Library of Belgium/Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Paris/Université Libre de Bruxelles)] via email to the following address: P.Iossif@let.ru.nl with the mention "Numismatic seminar: Application". The deadline for applications is Tuesday, June 10th 12 am.
Only a maximum of 12 (twelve) students will be selected, a number imposed by the capacities of the NIA facilities.
The seminar will take place at the Netherlands Institute at Athens, at the foot of the Acropolis (Makri 11, GR-117 42, Athens; www.nia.gr) and accommodation will be offered by the NIA to all successful candidates, as well as free access to the main Athenian libraries and passes to Museums and archaeological sites.
An inscription fee of 150 € is asked for file preparation and registration.
