Interesting facts about English Setters
5 months ago No Comments
The English Setter is a medium-size breed of dog.
It has served as a gun dog in England for more than 400 years and has been bred in its present form since about 1825.
It is part of the setter group, which includes the Irish Setters, Irish Red and White Setters, and black-and-tan Gordon Setters.
It is sometimes called the Llewellin setter or the Laverack setter for the developers of two strains of the breed.
Like the other setters, it locates birds for the hunter.
This breed's standard temperament is best described as a "Gentleman by Nature". However, it can also be strong-willed and mischievous, especially if coming from working/field breeding lines.
English Setters are energetic, people-oriented dogs, that are well suited to families who can give them attention and activity, or to working with a hunter, where they have a job to do.
They rank 37th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, being of above average working/obedience intelligence.
The average lifespan of the English Setter is 10 to 12 years.
Characteristically rugged yet aristocratic in appearance, it stands 61 to 63.5 cm (24 to 25 inches) and weighs 18 to 32 kg (40 to 70 pounds).
The breed was designed to hunt game such as quail, pheasant, and grouse so should be able to cover a lot of ground when seeking the airborne scent of the birds, carrying its head high.
The main body coat is short to medium length, lies flat and has a silky texture. Long silky coat – usually called "feathering", forms fringes on the outside of the ears, neck, chest, down the back of the front legs, under the belly and on the back legs. The tail is also feathered with long coat. The body coat and feathering should be straight and flat but not profuse and never curly although a slight wave can be seen.
The base colour of the coat is white with differing coloured ticking also called flecks or speckling. The various speckled coat colours when occurring in English Setters are referred to as belton valid combinations are white with black flecks (blue belton), white with orange flecks (orange belton), white with orange flecks and lighter nose (lemon belton), white with liver flecks (liver belton), or "tricolour", which is blue or liver belton with tan markings on the face, chest, and legs. The flecking should not form large patches on the body and the flecks should be distributed all over the body.
The use of the word "belton" was first coined by Laverack, who developed the breed in the 19th century, to describe his ideal for flecking and is also the name of a village in the extreme north of England. Puppies' coats may not have all the markings that they have as adults.
There are artworks featuring dogs closely resembling the modern-day English Setter from as far back as the 15th century. The breed is widely regarded as being one of the oldest of the gundog breeds.
They were initially called Setting Spaniels and they would range out in front of the hunter on open ground and would then freeze and crouch down (set), or point, when they found their quarry. Hunters originally used nets to trap the bird, but the gun then replaced these during the 18th century. They became popular with the nobility that owned large estates.
While their exact ancestry isn't known, it's thought they may have resulted through the crossing of Pointing and Spaniel breeds. They're known for being more gentle and slightly smaller than the Irish or Gordon Setter.
The modern English Setter owes its appearance to Edward Laverack (1800–1877), who developed his own strain of the breed by careful breeding during the 19th century in England and to another Englishman, R. Purcell Llewellin (1840–1925), who founded his strain using Laverack's best dogs and outcrossed them with the Duke, Rhoebe and later Duke's littermate Kate bloodlines with the best results.
Around 1826, Reverend A Harrison of Carlisle in Cumbria sold a male dog called "Ponto" and a female named "Old Moll" to Laverack and this pair formed the foundation of his English Setters. Laverack did not know the exact pedigree of these dogs but maintained the strain had been pure-bred for the previous thirty-five years. Laverack closely inbred to these two dogs for generations and his bloodline was successful in dog shows and as a working dog in field trials.
When the American Kennel Club was established in 1878, English Setters, together with eight other sporting breeds, were accepted as the first pure-bred registrations by the Club. The very first dog registered with the AKC and the holder of registration number one was an English Setter named "Adonis".
In the 1930s one English Setter gained fame in the States. There's now a sculpture of 'Jim the Wonderdog' in a park in Missouri. It was alleged that he could predict the future and understand several languages. Sceptics, quite fairly, claimed he was just an intelligent dog that had been taught certain commands and was primed by his owner.
English Setters were especially popular in the UK during the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
The word "setter" refers to the almost-seated position the dog assumes when they have discovered game.
For a healthy and happy English Setter puppy from a reputable breeder, expect to pay between $800 and $1,200. The average annual price to properly care for your English Setter will be about $3,000.

Nude by Nature Comes of Age as a Truly Global Brand
From humble beginnings with only 4 products to a decade later, Mark Thompson - CEO tells the Nude by Nature success story
The trouble with acronyms is that they often mask trends and expertise that have been in place for a long time. The Koreans and Japanese had flourishing beauty industries for decades before the world "discovered" K-Beauty and J-Beauty. For the past year, Australia's contribution to the global cosmetic scene has been touted as A-Beauty and Aussie brands have flooded into major retailers in Europe, Asia and North America.
It's a no-brainer, really. Australia is the 13th largest economy in the world and would rank as the fifth largest in Europe. First world technology and a green image are backed by some of the most potent native active ingredients in the world – kakadu plum, lilly pilly and quandong. Few other beauty brands know this better than Nude by Nature, Australia's number one mineral make-up brand. Launched in 2008, the company is not only Australian owned, a major point-of difference has always been the inclusion of the Australian native ingredients now so much in demand around the world.
Humble Beginnings/Superior New Product Development
Ten years ago, we started from humble beginnings with only four products – a mineral powder foundation, a bronzer, a finishing powder and a make-up brush, says CEO Mark Thompson. "The loose powder is still a huge part of our business, but over the past decade we have developed into a more grown-up version of Nude by Nature. Our new product development featuring a full colour collection has accelerated over the past five years from our prestige eye makeup range through to the Flawless Collection and our new 100 per cent Natural Lip Collection. Green is now glamorous, and all of our products underline premiumisation in the natural beauty space". Nude by Nature's product development team is one of the best Thompson has ever worked with. A huge accolade considering his experience as a senior executive in skincare and haircare in Europe and Australia. Before taking on the role of COO of HiLife Health & Beauty, he was the Managing Director of TIGI UK & Europe, Managing Director of TIGI ANZ and held General Manager positions at L'Oréal Professionnel and Fujifilm.
Natural Positioning and Strong Communication Attract Boots, John Lewis and QVC
International expansion has been top-of mind since Thompson's appointment in 2013. "I targeted major retailers in Europe about three years ago and the response was very positive. We are ranked number one in the mineral category in Australia and play against the big names. Since then the natural and organic beauty sector has exploded from a trend to a lifestyle choice and European retailers have hundreds of brands from around the world trying to grab their attention. So it was a great coup for Nude by Nature to be stocked in iconic department store chain, John Lewis and most recently Boots in March this year.
Why have international retailers chosen Nude by Nature over thousands of other brands? At all stages of our development, we have stuck to our principles of using 100% natural ingredients, says Thompson. "Other brands advertise that they are natural but they are not. Our products do not contain chemical dyes, preservatives, fragrances, petrochemicals or pore-clogging talc.
"Consumers are very educated these days and do not like green-washing. They are also looking for natural make-up that makes no compromise on performance, which is why Nude by Nature has enjoyed great success with our eye, foundation and lip collections. They look and feel like their prestige mainstream counterparts. We are not and never will be a brand that cuts corners."
Nude by Nature's communications strategy has also been key to growth, says Thompson. Everything we do hinges on the principle that make-up should be good for you. We are a no and yes company. No to all the nasties and yes to great natural ingredients. To enable the brand to launch internationally, a more luxe look was required and that was a paradigm shift for the brand. Consumers globally are attracted to make-up brands by how good they look and are then delighted to be told they are natural".
Clint Dowdell, the brand ambassador for Nude by Nature since 2010, is now based in London. With a strong track record in cutting-edge fragrance and make-up brands such as Terry de Gunzberg and Nars, no one is better placed than Dowdell to convey the wide appeal of Nude by Nature products. "We launched on the QVC shopping channel in the UK late last year", says Thompson. "Clint appears on the segments and the results have been phenomenal. We have a full window for 12 months which is incredible for a new brand".
The Right Retailers – Europe, China and Canada
French consumers have also embraced Nude by Nature and the brand is in 222 stores in the Nocibé chain, acquired by Douglas, Europe's largest beauty and fragrance chain in 2013, to create a combined business of 625 stores in France. "We are also in Le Bon Marche, the most selective department store in Paris, owned by LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods group", adds Thompson. Our strategy is to be in the right retailers in Europe, so Nude by Nature is also in the top five Douglas stores and Karstadt department stores in Germany and in Magasin du Nord in Denmark, a subsidiary of Debenhams. Canada has become an important market, says Thompson. "We negotiated an exclusive deal with Shoppers Drug Mart and rolled out into over 1000 of their 1300 doors. They have very stringent targets and selected Nude by Nature because we are one of the very few make-up brands available anywhere that is truly natural. Canada is a very important market because it offers a segue into the US market. If something works across the border, it will work in the highly competitive American market". Being authentically natural is a nonnegotiable in China, says Thompson. "Nude by Nature is launching on Alibaba's Tmall Global in April. It's a good move because we are in control of our distribution and there's no danger of compromising the brand". Once launched in China we will be ranged in 9 countries, with over 4,800 doors globally which is an incredible result for the brand.
Strong Focus on Australia
As competition in the beauty industry has become fiercer than ever, celebrating a 10th anniversary is a major milestone. "We have played a patient game and taken our time over the brand's evolution and said no to certain opportunities that weren't suitable at the time", says Thompson. "Apart from expanding internationally, we are still strongly focused on the Australian market. There is still plenty of scope for growth in the local market. Our conversion rate from regular to loyal user is very high, but a lot of consumers are not aware of us". Even though Nude by Nature has kicked a lot of major goals at home and abroad recently, Thompson believes that it's not a game of numbers. "We don't have to be in the most doors, we need to be in the most successful ones. The growth of authentically natural products is increasing by leaps and bounds and by sticking to our policy of transparency, premiumisation and performance we are in a poll position".

• This chair weighs 9 pounds.
• This item can be customized with your logo. Please email us for more info.
• Weight limit is 250 pounds.
Out of the box an set up! Very comfortable and I love all the pockets and my side table.
Pleased with the item, gave it to my father for Christmas. Will be great for East Carolina tailgating with our purple and gold. The higher seat and sturdiness as well as finding purple was key.
There is no chair ANYWHERE like the one I bought. It was worth every single penny. Do yourself a favor and get one.
I NEVER write reviews but I had been eyeing this chair for over a year. I thought it was a bit pricey but it is very well constructed and beautiful. Not to mention comfortable oops I did mention it! Great for picnics or on the patio.
This chair is lightweight, durable and lasts a long time. I know because two have been in our family for at least 4 years. All year around have been used frequently.
Love it! It's so sturdy,and yet so light and easy to carry. I had it over my shoulder as I packed the car, and forgot I was carrying it because it weighs about the same as my purse. Very handy pockets for all the things I wanted close at hand at a dog agility trial. Very easy to set up and fold back up - much easier than a bag chair, and much easier on my back.
I really like this chair. I bought to take to horse shows, carriage driving clinics and my nephews baseball games. Plenty of room for a plus size woman like myself and lightweight enough to easily carry with the handy carry strap. The fold down table is great for use at clinics and such where I need to take notes and lots of pockets to put things. Definitely worth the money!
Already own 2 of these chairs in blue (purchased 5 years ago) but the wife loves purple - very well built and durable product - we do a lot of desert & dirt "dry camping" and the chairs see a lot of hard use - will purchase again if they ever wear out!
I love these chairs, with pockets for laptop, phone, and insulated drink pocket. The side table is SO handy. In addition, the chair is most comfortable.
Fantastic chairs! They were given as gifts to our swim team coaches (we also got their names put on the chair backs at a local company) and they LOVE them. They are well made and functional. Excellent product.
We bought these to use at Arts & Crafts Fairs. Perfect! Easy to set up and the attached table is sturdy, the organizer just great.
This is a fabulous chair! Having the side table has been a real bonus for any function. No more balancing drinks and plates. The side pockets hold everything including my phone, water bottle, set of keys, extra hand wipes - anything you can think of. We get comments on the chairs every time we use them. We love the different colors too. These make a perfect gift for anyone!
This is the 7th folding chair I have purchased through Picnic Time. I belong to a Kite club and we spend most of our weekends on the beach flying kites. I have given 6 of these chairs as a gift. Everybody loves them. They are sturdy, easy to carry and has numerous pockets for camera, cell phone etc. Highly recommended them.
I have had two of these chairs for 6 years and ordered two more for guests when they come to our camp. They are strong, comfortable, well wearing and the best camp/beach/ball game chair I've found anywhere.
The chairs were purchases as 'Coaches' gift for the varsity swim team coaches of my daughter's swim team. The coaches loved them! The tray was a big hit as was the side pouch to hold all their 'stuff'. Besides being very comfortable, the purple, the team color, was a major hit. The kids also liked them as they can now find their coaches on a crowded pool deck!
This oversize chair is comfy, strong, and yet not too heavy. We have only used it a couple of times so far, but it should last us many uses.
We have 4 and this chair was a birthday gift for my Mother.
Great chair and well built! I have seen some knock-offs and you can sure tell the difference!!-- Not to mention a gorgeous color!!!
I LOVE the chair you sent! It's exactly what I was looking for and it is SO strong! Thank you for carrying such high quality merchandise.
It is light weight, strong, easy to pack and store. It is very durable, great color choices, and very comfortable.
The surface on the table chairs bought last year has peeled off. New chairs are great but still have same surface on the table. We love these chairs. I wish we could resurface or exchange old ones.
We saw these chairs at a friends house and just had to have them. We have a lot of get-togethers and never have enough table space, so with the side table attached to the chair, it works out perfect. Also,the chairs are very comfortable.
My sisters and I bought these chairs for dog shows. They are comfortable and light-weight. We love them and get inquiries all the time on where we got them.
My daughter Kim was marching for Parma High School's Marching band in the 4th of July Parade and I took the two purple chairs with me because my friend Susan came to watch her march too. As soon as I opened up my chair, I was asked where I bought it. Even during the parade people walking by asked me where I got such a nice chair and I gladly told them. This past Sunday we took them to the Timar family (Mom's side of the family) reunion and everyone there had to try it out. If you receive some orders from folks in Ohio, you know who probably referred them to you! Kim and I just LOVE OUR CHAIRS!!!! I will probably order a couple more because I think they would make nice gifts.
I love my purple chairs. They are lightweight and easy to set up. I bought them for my sister's birthday and we both enjoyed them at a recent dog show. Kudos to your quick delivery. Also, no assembly!
I saw this chair with someone else at the park one summer. I didn't ask them about it, so I looked on line and found your site and purchased 2 chairs in 2 different colors just in time for a Jazz concert in the park and MAN did my hubby and I get the LOOKS. We had the best chairs at the show. We didn't have to hold our drinks or food on our laps either because we had sturdy trays and all types of holders for all our stuff. Thanks for Great chairs and wonderful colors to choose from.
I LOVE this chair. We fly kites on the beach in Florida and these chairs are fantastic. It is comfortable, easy to carry,and easy to set up. I have purchased 4 of these chairs in 4 different colors, and most likely will purchase more.
I searched high and low for sports chair that I could take to car shows (that also matches the interior of my car - purple!) and I found it here at the "your website". It is very comfortable, sturdy and folds up pretty compact. The pockets come in very handy and the fold-out table is just great. I would by this model again and or recommend it to anyone.
These chairs are better than I could imagine. They are light weight yet very sturdy.
This is an awesome chair. It is easy to carry, and comfortable to sit on. We have to sit and wait a lot at our dog trials, and this chair makes the wait much more tolerable. (It is also very stable on soft ground.) Unfortunately, every time I get up, when I come back to the chair, someone else is sitting in it! The pockets, allow me to put my water bottle, etc. somewhere stable (and out of sight), and the fold up table is great for the quick lunches we often have to eat!
I love chairs!!!! In the beginning of the summer I bought 2 of these chairs and everywhere I go I tell people how great they are!! My husband says I should be on your payroll because I keep telling people about your site so they can order these chairs too!!I will be ordering more for Christmas presents. you have wonderful products!!
This are solid & comfortable chairs! Many people ask where they came from!
This is an excellent chair! I could not find the color anywhere else.
The chair is very nice. I thought I was getting a chair with folding table with a "cup holder" in it. Not your fault. I just didn't notice. Otherwise, we love it!
I like the chair, but wish it had a real cup holder in the table.
The chair itself is great! It seems to be well made and light. I would recommend this chair. The only problem with my chair is the color. I ordered a purple chair. In the add it looks like a rich deep purple, what I received was more like a light violet color.

NYI in East Timor holds first youth camp
Published on November 25, 2022, 2:23 pm Last Modified on December 2, 2022, 10:50 am
East Timor: NYI East Timor district held its first youth camp on 31 October – 3 November 2022. The district youth council planned and organized the event. The camp theme was "Dare to be Different," which was taken from Romans 12:2. There were 87 youths who participated in the 3-day event. All were blessed in their experience, especially during times of worship, learning through workshops and seminars, and fellowship with fun and games.
The district youth council purposely chose to hold the camp during this time, which was the same time as East Timor's celebration of "Finado Day." On this day, East Timorese return to their hometowns to pray for blessings from the spirits of their ancestors and give offerings at shrines called "spirit houses." The youth council wanted to use this opportunity to reach out to the young people and challenge them to "dare to be different." This is really a step of faith for the committee and participants because some members of the community were not happy and tried to stop the event. But the youth leaders remained committed until the event was finished.
The organizers were also thankful for the overwhelming support of the local church pastors and district leaders. They were also thankful for the creativity and initiative of some local churches who went out of their way to raise funds, doing car washing and selling food. The school where the camp meeting was held also gave an affordable deal in support of the NYI ministry.
With the success of the youth camp, the district hopes to continue doing this at the same time every year and make it a National Youth Day across the Church of the Nazarene in East Timor. They also plan to be intentional in building better relationships with young people and their communities.
Praise God for what he is doing in East Timor. Pray that God will open more opportunities for the church to share the love of Christ with the East Timorese people.

Q: similar load and get hibernate method on spring data I´m reading about Hibernate and using Spring data. In one chapter I´ve read about the different of use get() and load(), supposedly in Hibernate load return a proxy placeHolder and only access to database in case that you access to the entity attribute.
In my application many times I just need to return and entity to add as dependency to another entity and for that specific case add a proxy would be more than enough, but using Spring data repository I cannot find the get() or load() method, so I guess they dont implement the same feature as in Hibernate. Any idea if Spring data has that Hibernate´s features to have a proxy placeHolder?.
Regards.

A: JpaRepository interface has two methods: First is getOne(id) which is an alternative of hibernate load, second is findById(id) which is an aternative of hibernate get method.

RT, 28 February, 2011
The son of Equatorial Guinea's dictator has released plans to construct superyacht costing $380 million, three times what his county spends on healthcare or education.
Teodorin Obiang (Image from bossip.com)
Teodorin Obiang currently resides in a $35 million-dollar mansion in Malibu, California, owns a $33 million jet, and brings in a monthly salary of $6,799 as the nation's official Minister of Agriculture. Global witness argued the lifestyle is far too extravagant and has called for sanctions against Obiang.
Corruption watchdog group Global Witness said Kusch Yachts in Germany has been asked to build the luxurious yacht – which is to include a restaurant, movie theater, bars and a swimming pool.
AP reported the press office in Equatorial Guinea confirmed the order but insisted it had not currently been purchased, and that if it were to go through it would be paid for with Obiang's personal funds, not "with funds derived from sources of illegal financing or corruption" Obiang's father, President Teodoro Obiang, seized power in Equatorial Guinea in 1979 following a bloody coup d'état. President Obiang is estimated to be worth $600 million and the son is expected to succeed the father as the tiny West African nation's president.
The family has continually defended their wealth and exorbitant lifestyle, arguing their nation's laws to don forbid it, even thought the people are suffering.
According to the UN about 20 percent of children in Equatorial Guinea die before the age of 5, those who survive childhood are unlikely to live beyond 50. In addition there are concerns of torture and killings by state police for political gain.
President Obiang is also known for his active push to clean up his image. Hiring lobbyists on K Street in Washington, DC, Obiang spent millions to have a UNESCO award named after him. However, backlash erupted over Obiang record.
Turing to Qorvis Communications the embattled dictator sought help at a cost of $55,000 per month to repair his image. The push brought about Clinton family connections and photo-ops with US President Barack Obama. American lobbyists took an accused human rights abuser leading a corrupt government and turned him into fast friends with American political elites.
Meanwhile, following popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and elsewhere in the region, some in Equatorial Guinea have begun to hope for change of their own, some staging hunger strikes. However those who protest often end up fleeing the country for their own protection.
According to the US State Department, one-third of the nation's population lives abroad in either voluntary or forced exile.

In ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6.1 it's near-impossible to publish a non-hosted WFS service - the only way we managed to accomplish this is by publishing through ArcMap, which, as a Pro using organisation, is rather nasty.
Both are further on equally registered to the server. It's almost as if the UI doesn't have room for more than eight capabilities.
The ability to publish a WFS from Pro will be coming at 2.3, scheduled for release in January.
Glad to hear it. I'll be sure to monitor the early adopter community.

I don't mind people leaving their old rubbish in the room, we can clear that when cleaning. We do ask that people leave recyclable like glass/cardboard/magazines next to the bin, most do, some don't.
Some will use the glass bottle of milk we put in the fridge for them and then throw it in the bin, yeah real green!
As Morticia said elsewhere, don't had me your pile of stinky take-away wrappers to dispose of, put them in the bin outside. People do give me old food they don't want for the hens, which is thoughtful if it's wrapped.
But the one that drives me to distraction, that makes my stomach turn is used tissues. People leave them on the bed, on the side, drop them on the floor in the bedroom and leave them but the one that really makes me want to heave is those that leave them on their breakfast plate for you to clear away. It's disgusting, take it with you and flush it or put it in the bin.
Yesterday, I had a guest walk into the dining room in the middle of breakfast service to hand me their recycling. That one took the cake for me!
I finally gave in and put a recycling bin in every room.
China has cut way back on buying recyclable materials from the US, so lately many municipalities are picking up the dumpsters designated as "recycling" and hauling them to landfills. I've watched the trucks pick up the trash and recycle dumpsters and dump both into the same truck. I tell guests "yes, I recycle" to make them feel better.
I have a friend who works in the paper/cardboard industry. Maybe it will help to know that these companies but truck-fulls of trash (for making paper/pulp sludge) then use it to make "new" paperboard and cardboard for consumer products.
Hopefully this should help what China is not buying, however the downside is these companies buy the recycled material by the pound.
And the thing that drives DH mad is, all our rooms have a small china dish marked "Tea bags" for people to put their used bags in. So what do they do, they throw them in the bin which has a nylon liner which then has to be washed because it has tea stains all over it.
That I can understand...most people aren't used to putting their tea in an appropriate place, they just chuck them. We have to put them in the compost... but guests, never understand this. Of course, we centralized the tea and hot water, so they don't really have the tea bags in their room to toss.... they leave them in the dining room.
It's next to the kettle, is it really that complicated?
Nope, but that doesn't mean they see it. I would actually move it to sit right in front of the kettle, so they have to move it out of the way when they use the kettle. They aren't likely seeing it. Or worse.... think that's where you keep them, not want the used teabags. In fact, if it was labelled "Used Teabags" it would likely get more use.
In fact, if it was labelled "Used Teabags" it would likely get more use.
That's what I thought. As it is now, it looks like where you generally store the unused ones.
I've had guests hand me their garbage at check-in, too. How in the heck do they think that's an appropriate way to greet someone???
I've taken to wearing gloves at all times when handling anything in guests' rooms, including making or stripping the bed. Used tissues are gross. However, I'll take used tissues over the washcloths or hand towels that can stand up by themselves, like that hair gel scene in "Something About Mary" (I know, it's gross but I'm sure we've all found these "gifts" from our guests). In the past, I had to throw these "gifts" away because no amount of scrubbing prevented a stain. Now I just pour on a little Clorox 2 detergent & the stains magically disappear.
My version is oxy on it and in cold water... because hot water sets the stain.
I think the most disgusting are the men who leave me a facecloth bundled up next to the bed.... or this week, it was a teenager with a large wet stain on the bed each day. Housekeeper asks us... "peepee?" To which we reply... "Don't ask if you don't really want to know."

ItalDesign developed the VAD.HO., a super sporty two-seat which works on the base of hydrogen. The most interesting fact is the new driving system and that the steering wheel was removed. The entries into the car are two integrated doors, hinged lengthwise onto the structure and a lift gull-wing style. The driver and passenger space is much larger than those of a luxury sedan. The passenger safety is guaranteed by structural side reinforcements and the activation of the air bags in the oval strip under the structure at the cockpit base. The cell is equipped with airbags that surround both the pilot and the passenger. The color used is opaque silver-grey that reminds us of aeronautics and also the equipment and the fuel tank and the 20-inch large solid tires do too.
Geneva hosted again breaking innovations coming from Italdesign Giugiaro. In its continuous trial to give their worldwide clients designs that best fit their markets, Italdesign Giugiaro developed a niche theme: a super-sporty two-seater, which works on the base of hydrogen. The purpose of this innovation was to promote and develop alternatives for fiendly propulsion systems and protection measures for the environment. The name itself "VAD HO" refers to the hydrogen propulsion system adopted for the vehicle (vado - or "I go" in Italian - on H), The acronym also uses the name of the Vado industrial area in Moncalieri, the headquarters of Italdesign Giuriaro since 1974.
At the same time, they tried a more flexible chassis layouy displacement in new engine, mechanical and electronic equipments.
The most interesting fact regarding this new driving system is that the steering wheel was removed. This determined the fixing of two joysticks on the armrest of the pilot's seating and pedal units. This way the driver can adjust all the elements in whatever way he wished to. The joysticks are fixed in the armrests, which are integrated within the pilot seat (the left armrest can be raised in order to ease the getting in and out of the car).
However, the unit consisting in armrest/joystick/ electrical pedals and seating is not connected to the chassis, which together with the by-wire impulses system allows to adapt the different versions with right, centre and left driving. VAD.HO is also of high-interest since it has been positively welcome by BMW. The German brand agreed to providing for it its series 7 12 cylinders hydrogen powered engine.
As for the cockpit, one can be impressed by the longitudinal shape of the cockpit in polycarbonate, which is positioned on the left-hand side. The engine and hydrogen propulsion devices are located on the right side. This solution is believed to allow the driver stable and precise steering manouvres and activation of all the joystick commands, including driving and secondary devices such as entertainment and other options.
The two joysticks are designed with two grips that help the driver give up on the twisting or rotating its wrist. The confort is ensured by the back and forth moves along the armrest. Also the sliding pedal block has the same move directions, is hinged on the lower part and adjusts to the seat, but still is connected to the chassis.
The control group, which is an IT console, has liquid crystal displays designed for aeronautic applications (EFIS - Electronic Flight Information Systems). The surface occupied by the digital driving instrumentation, which is positioned centrally under the rear-view continual video monitors and the navigator, is limited so that the pilot can can also acces the IT data from the console since they have acces to have maximum external visibility. The rear passengers have access to a joystick, which is similar to the driver's, and to two monitors embedded in the back of the driver's seat. A very friendly aspect of this new car is that the passenger and pilot can interact through being filmed by video cameras. This way they can see each other on reciprocal monitors. Since the cameras are installed in the frontal optical group, they can be also used for parking radar and for an infrared effect for night-time driving, or interactive driving between the car and the road infrastructures, if available.
The entries into the car are two integrated doors/domes, hinged lenghtwise onto the structure and a lift gull-wing style. Since the living space for the driver and passenger has been calculated at an "OSCAR percentile" larger than 95%, it is much more larger than those of a luxury sedan. It offers so much freedom that the passenger can strecht out his legs and even change his position by adjusting the footrest platforms on the sides of the front seat. The armchairs are also equipped with four-point belts that can be regulated all around.
The tones for the interior upholstery material are metallic and phosphorescent opaque grey.: both for the silver leather armchairs and the synthetic pieces in aeronautic styling. More prominent effects were adopted around the control console. As for the passenger's safety, this is guaranteed by structural side reinforcements, the steel roll bar on which the two semi-domes rest, and the activation of the air bags in the oval strip under the structure at the cockpit base. The cell is equipped with "umbrella" airbags that surround both the pilot and the passenger.
The fact that it is rather a race car imposed a wedge-shaped volume, backed up by very subtle lines and modulations, never brought to the extreme but in perfect harmony with those parameters of balance and elegance that represent the Giugiaro trademark. The project avoided stylistic characteristics to offer content in turn. VAD.HO is following up the content research started by Italdesign Giugiaro with 2004 Toyota Alessandro Volta with hybrid propulsion and the 2005 Mitsubishi Nessie that runs on hydrogen; while the formal aspects evoke the design of the 1988 Aztec, which even then offered driver and passenger a chance to slide into a definitely attractive "aeronautic" atmosphere with a formula that today is much more easily feasible thanks to IT innovations and by wire technologies that have been tested and nowadays are considered to be reliable.
The VAD.HO body is characterised by a feasible decomposition with regards to production logics and meets international homologation regulations (including pedestrian accidents). The dimensions do not exceed the limits. It is very similar to Ferrari Maranello, a compact two-seater with similar performances: 4550 mm long, 1980 mm wide, and 1150 mm high, like Enzo model. The trunk capacity for a super-sporty two-seater is truly remarkable: 550 dm3.The asymmetric transparent dome brings out the strong personality of the car; the windscreen wiper is hidden under the small crowl. From the side, the profile of the fender crest is sinuous and dips towards the centre, while a bird's eye view confirms the designer's will to make the front more aggressive and modulated and the tail softer and sharper.
The reduction in the main section ameliorates the aerodynamic penetration requirements because the windscreen /cockpit impacts on only half of the vehicle. The nose presents a screwed-on bumper block with ample air intakes. The lower zone of the bonnet is featured by an adjustable spoiler in between the "pagoda"-shaped ridges formed by the fenders that smooth off into the sides.
The notching of the rear end view is ment to underline the agressivenes of this vehicle's nature. The "G" Giugiaro logo was adopted to house the rear stop LEDs with striking media impact.
The drop-shaped recess, begining with the bumper and narrowing towards the sides hosts the optical devices: the dual-function projector, the position and direction LEDs, a video camera at the top, and the passenger compartment air intake.
The VAD.HO central body underlines even more the originality of the cockpit's asymmetric solution. The fairing of the engine air system, the filter, and the electronics can be seen on lowered section that houses the engine. The engine block can be simply accessed by raising the large panel/trapezoidal door hinged onto the centre line with a gull-wing movement since the cut of the passenger door is repeated symmetrically on the engine side. The recess of the side indicator also serves as housing for the video camera.
The blunt one-piece rear endreminds one of the Corvette, the single difference being the line of the bonnet with its asymmetric profile because it must converge with the dipping line of the cockpit and the side/engine line.
The world of aeronautics is again evoked by colors like opaque silver-grey, the engine equipment and the fuel tank, and the use of large 20" solid tyres.

A few Sun N Fun 2018 photos. I had a great time, met a lot of great people and saw fantastic aircraft from ultralights to jets! and everything in between.
Q. I am a pilot "wanna be" that attended your "Which aircraft is best for you" seminar. After a week of seminars and walking the flight line at the fly-in, I am convinced that buying an aircraft probably makes the most sense for me.
Which aircraft is for me? I was originally thinking of a Cessna 150 (I am the 'stable' personality you mention in your book with a little bit of the 'driver' mentality too), but I need to haul two people weighing probably a combined 430 pounds, so I think a 150 might be pushing it a bit.
I found an ad for a 1971 Cessna 172, 6300 TT, 2200 SMOH, and was looking for feedback so I wouldn't get taken to the cleaners.
I would appreciate any help you can offer since I am completely new to this (the story of the $5,000 airplane definitely made me curious). I do not have my heart set on any one plane, just the 'being up there' safely on a tight budget. Looks are not that critical either. I just want to fly whether it is ugly or not.
A. Nice to see you "wanna be" not only a pilot, but an owner too.
As you probably figured out in my presentations and columns, I am a Cessna 172 fan. The 172 models are one of my favorite aircraft. It is hard to buy a bad one, but there are a few considerations. In your situation, the Cessna 150 would probably not be a good choice because of the weight requirement. A Cessna 172 is a better aircraft especially when used as a two person and baggage machine.
The 172 costs slightly more than the 150 to own and operate, but it is still one of the most economical aircraft around and is also a great trainer. Cessna did not reintroduce the 152 when they started back in production in 1997. They introduced the Cessna 172 because it has more flexibility. The 172 can perform as a trainer and a cross-country aircraft. It offers more pilot opportunities and comfort than the 150. The 150/152 models can perform almost all the feats of the 172, except for speed, load and number of seats.
Book prices are just a guideline. It will probably be difficult to buy an aircraft like this for the book price, but at least it will give you a starting point. I would think that the engine could make it a few hours more before needing an overhaul. I would hope it would make it through your training. In that time, you could put away a few bucks for the new engine. Adding a lot of new equipment or new engines will not be a direct dollar for dollar recoup. You will need to fly the aircraft a number of hours (probably 500 or more) to wear off a few of the "new" engine.

In nearly every presidential election starting with Ohio Republican Warren Harding in 1920, county voters sang the same Election Day tune as national voters. The only off-note came in 1976 when Ventura County voters chose incumbent Gerald Ford while the nation voted for Jimmy Carter.
The streak ended Tuesday.
If Ventura County controlled the national election, Hillary Clinton would have won in a landslide. She gained 54 percent of the county vote compared to Trump's 38 percent. Nationwide, Trump won 279 electoral votes to Clinton's 228.
The gap left observers trying to figure out what happened and how a county that has always mirrored national election trends now revealed a different reflection.
One change is obvious. More than 41 percent of registered voters in the county are Democrats, compared to 32 percent who are Republicans. When George W. Bush was elected in 2000 and then re-elected four years later, there were more Republican registered voters than Democrats.
"We were sort of the oddball in California," California Lutheran University political scientist Herb Gooch said of being a red county in a blue state. "We've sort of caught up with California trends."
Gooch said the infusion of companies linked to defense and high-tech industries has slowed, reducing the growth of Republicans who came with the companies. The largely Democratic Latino population has grown.
The national surge to Trump was marked by anger at government and a growing demand for political outsiders and change. Such divides occur in a different way in Ventura County, said Johnny Johnston, former top administrator for the county government and mayor-elect of Ojai. He's lived in the county for 45 years.
"They don't agree all the time, but they still talk to each other," Johnston said. "... Even though the conversation can be mean, at least it's being conducted." The other indication that Ventura County voters may be less angry comes in Tuesday's passage of a sales tax in Ventura. A county sales tax that needed a two-thirds margin fell short but gained a majority of the vote.
"Usually when people are mad, anything that smells of taxation goes down with a thud," Gooch said.
Edgar Terry's family has farmed in Ventura County since the 1890s. Terry pointed to the county's coastal affluence and what he called its shrinking middle class.
Agriculture remains big but isn't as dominant as in some regions of California and is now mixed with urban flavors.
"You have a natural shift in the populace," he said. "Things change over time. Who knows what it's going to look like 10 or 20 years from now."
Trump won partly because he leveraged the working-class resentment of white people in regions like the Northeast and the Great Lakes. He focused less on expanding his following in heavy Latino populations.
"In Ventura County, there's fewer working-class, white voters," said Jose Marichal, chairman of the political science department at California Lutheran University. "We're becoming more of the emerging Democratic coalition: College-degree whites plus minority voters."
Nan Drake has lived in Ventura County for 42 years and was once part of the Ventura City Council. Now, she's director of public affairs for E.J. Harrison & Sons, the 84-year-old trash collection business. She's also a Republican.
"I'm not unhappy with the result," she said of Trump's victory, noting that like the rest of the country groups here are pushing for change.
"Our movement isn't as dramatic as the rest of the country," she said.


Great way to use those cherry tomatoes that are overflowing in your garden right now! A cherry tomato pasta recipe but not the typical kind. Let's make a pesto with cherry tomatoes instead.
Step 1: Watch Our Pesto Video First!
A big thank you to Lidia Bastianich for the inspiration for this. Something I learned while working on this, its best to process the almonds before adding the rest of the ingredients to the food processor, and be careful not to burn the almonds while toasting them. You can use roasted and salted almonds, but its better to use the raw ones.
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, not the super sweet kind, a mix is good.
1. Mince of smash the garlic and let it sit out while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Put the almonds in a dry saute pan on the stove, and toast lightly. Be careful not to burn them. The almonds will click when its time to turn them.
3. Grate the Pecorino Romano cheese with the large holes of a box grater.
4. Pull the basil leaves and young stems from the woody older stems.
6. Add the cherry tomatoes, cheese, garlic, basil.
7. Turn on the food processor and mix this all together, be careful not to over process, you want this to have some texture.
8. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the food processor as it mixed the ingredients together. The pesto will thicken a bit.
9. Test for salt, it may or may not need some.

A smaller world?
Technology may have brought people and markets closer together, but distance and location still influence economic performance.
The growth of the information superhighway and the widespread use of advanced transport technology have led some to postulate that we are now witnessing what could be called the "end of geography," and the "death of distance".
Proponents point out that the world has become "flatter" and globalisation has blurred the favourable trade links that have always existed between close neighbours since the beginning of commerce itself.Not quite, says a recent OECD study, entitled "Economic Geography and GDP per Capita". By analysing transport costs and the advantages accrued from proximity to markets, it shows that geographic factors still limit trade and can even lead to relatively lower living standards and growth.In fact, two principle factors in economic geography–closeness to dense economic activity and natural resource endowment–could go some way to explaining the variation in wealth across OECD economies. High-income countries cluster together, reaping mutual benefit, while natural resources tend to be associated with higher national incomes–although the latter is not always true for developing countries. Despite popular conceptions that technology is shrinking the world, place and distance can still be formidable hurdles to jump.Behind the "death of distance" hypothesis is the assumption that technological advances in transportation and communications have reduced the cost of moving products and information over long distances. Globalisation has created an inter-connected world and distance now plays a less constraining role for business, according to the theory.But with transport costs amounting to almost 20% of the total cost of a product (and rising!), distance throws sand in the wheels of trade in much the same way as a tax on exports or a tariff on imports. Distance also affects business efficiency. To be sure, there have been improvements in helping goods get from A to B. Transport systems have all benefitted from information technology. Logistics, satellite assisted shipping, inventory management: IT has helped manage all of these. Containerisation–the usage of universal cargo containers that can be transferred between ships, trains, planes and trucks–has boosted efficiency in maritime shipping while better jet engine technology has done the same for air transportation.The road-haulage industry has also seen improved equipment, with lighter trucks, more efficient engines and so on. Has this translated into decreased costs? Simple statistics on transport costs suggest that reports of the death of distance have been greatly exaggerated. Despite containerisation, maritime transport costs actually rose relative to the price of manufactured goods on all major routes from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, after which they eased back on many routes. Air transport costs on the other hand have remained broadly constant in real terms, while road transport costs have significantly increased. International transport costs the same, or more, than it did thirty years ago.The only area where distance seems to have really imploded is in international communications. A downward trend in the cost of a one minute international telephone call started in the 1980s, falling to its present rate of basically zero. This has facilitated recent innovations in financial services for instance, as well as outsourcing of call centres to countries in Africa, or business consulting to India. Regardless, this has not altered the main finding that there is little evidence that the cost of transporting goods has declined relative to their price during the past two or three decades.Furthermore, empirical evidence indicates that a 10% increase in distance still reduces trade by around 10%–the same rate as thirty years ago. With transport costs actually rising, it is not surprising that distance still poses the same impediments to business as in the 1970s and remains a main determinant of international trade patterns. Countries still by and large concentrate on trade with their neighbours, and trade less with distant partners.On the other hand, proximity to markets can have a positive effect on economic performance. Europe apart, OECD countries are generally spread out in their geographical locations and vary widely in their natural resource endowments. In its report, the OECD focused on 21 countries between 1970 and 2004, and found that access to markets has a significant impact on GDP per capita. Peripheral countries are left out from the advantages of closeness–exploitation of economies of scale, competitive pressures and greater specialisation.

According to the OECD study, two successful economies, Australia and New Zealand, appear to suffer from remoteness, with a reduction of GDP capita by as much as 10% relative to the OECD average. Belgium and Netherlands, smack in the middle of a cluster of European economies, might gain from their position by as much as 6% of GDP. To a lesser extent Greece, Portugal and Finland are also at a relative disadvantage.Economic geography may also determine differences in GDP per capita within countries. Regional economists have long stressed the importance of location in defining why certain regions in overall rich countries lack growth. Most of the OECD's major economies suffer from some regional deficiencies with greatly varying levels of poverty, industry and growth in between regions. Some lags can be overcome by building better roads, for instance, though these can accelerate flows of labour and capital to the rich centres too. Much like rich countries, regions too tend to cluster, benefiting from the advantages of agglomeration.As for the other important factors in economic geography, findings show that OECD countries that are richly endowed with natural resources tend to have a higher GDP. This could be either renewable resources, such as fish and timber, non-renewables such as oil, or amenities that attract tourism. Rich natural resources may raise GDP per capita relative to the OECD average by as much as 8% in Norway with its oil and gas reserves and by around 2% in ore and mineral-rich Australia. Then what about countries such as Nigeria, oil-rich but with a desperately poor population? Economic development literature refers to the "resource curse," where developing countries are not able to translate natural wealth into higher per capita GDP. This, the report suggests, is where governance comes in, since abundant natural wealth can lead to policies that reflect complacency and exuberance, or the wishes of stubborn lobbies, even corruption. In poor countries with weak institutional structures, it is easy to see how this curse can become a veritable barrier to development.Policymakers must still treat economic geography as a reality and compare economic performance across countries accordingly. The report "Economic Geography and GDP per Capita" is in fact part of the larger OECD study entitled Going for Growth, an evaluation of progress made in implementing reforms to improve living standards, and a set of recommendations of ways to make economies more productive. It concludes that for the time being, governments should not use their geographic advantages and disadvantages to justify inappropriate policy measures. If distance is a problem, policymakers should do their best to ensure that regulations do not keep transport costs at a further prohibitive level or add to other costs imposed by economic geography.

Lars Arrhenius (* 8. Dezember 1966 in Stockholm; † 18. April 2020 ebenda) war ein schwedischer Künstler, der sich der Medien Grafik, Animation und Film bediente.

Leben und Werk

Lars Arrhenius studierte von 1989 bis 1994 an der Kungliga Konsthögskolan in Stockholm und 1995/1996 an der Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam. Zusammen mit Johannes Müntzing hat er seit 2001 eine Reihe von Kurzfilmen und Animationen produziert, die auf Filmfestivals und in Ausstellungen gezeigt wurden.

Erste internationale Bekanntheit erlangte Arrhenius mit der Arbeit The Man without one Way von 1999, die in 171 Bildern mehrere Versionen der Geschichte eines Mannes erzählt, der sein Haus verlässt. Seine grafischen Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch einen reduzierten, "sauberen", cartoon-haften Stil aus, der in Gestaltungsdetails an Piktogramme erinnert. Überraschende Wendungen und schwarzer Humor finden sich in vielen seiner Arbeiten.

2008 gestaltete Arrhenius die U-Bahnstation Thorildsplan in Stockholm. Unter dem Titel "Playtime" versah er die Wände mit Figuren und Symbolen aus klassischen Arcade-Spielen wie Pac-Man und Space Invaders.

Er starb am 18. April 2020 nach einer Operation.

Gruppenausstellungen (Auswahl)
 2008: The real Thing - New Acquisitions, Malmö Konstmuseum.
 2007: The BiG Store, Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin.
