One of the most talked-about aspects of the new Superman Returns will undoubtedly be another return––that of Marlon Brando as Superman's father, Jor-El. The actor, who died two years ago this July at the age of 80, originally starred in Superman: The Movie (1978). He appears in director Bryan Singer's new story, not as the visionary scientist who sent his son off to Earth as Krypton's sole survivor, but as a sonic guiding presence in the adult Superman's consciousness, a voice of wisdom in his mind.
To accomplish this, the archivists at Warner Bros. and the sound and picture editorial crews on the show performed a, well, Superman-ian task of picking through hours and hours of ADR, dailies, outtakes and other sources to eventually deliver to the mix stage the audio presence of Jor-El (Brando does appear, briefly, during one sequence set in the Fortress of Solitude).
Also heavily involved at this early stage was first assistant editor Liza Espinas-Regnier. "For select scenes, Elliot had me go through copies of the original ADR recordings to find the original dialogue, minus all the reverb and other effects. Basically, all I could do was try to ear-match where the takes in the movie came from, because there were no notes and no picture with the originals," she recalled.
First assistant sound editor Warren Hendriks was put in charge of the restoration effort. "Craig put together the whole plan for pre-dubbing, dubbing and what kind of layout we would use, so I didn't have to worry about that at all as part of my responsibilities. I was able to focus entirely on building the Brando dialogue," Hendriks explains.
Most of the time, finding the right line was like looking for a needle in a haystack. "When you have to find a single line of Brando saying, 'Kal-el, my son,' somewhere within hours of material, it makes for really long hours and a lot of luck to find the line when you have no way of checking scene and take numbers or timecode," he explains. The best he could do was to find a matching performance and then see if that performance could match phasing and waveform to what was in the Avid tracks, a process that took weeks.
Archivists performed a Superman-ian task of picking through hours of ADR, dailies, outtakes and other sources to eventually deliver to the mix stage the audio presence of Jor-El.
Even when all the pieces were found and phased to the Avid tracks, Hendriks again went back to the original one-quarter-inch mag tapes in another attempt to find the cleanest possible source, a process that was repeated independently by the picture department as well. From there, the tracks were handed off to dialogue editor Helen Kuttrell, who spent several weeks cleaning up and clarifying the dialogue. After that, Brando's voice became the province of Oscar-winning re-recording dialogue mixer John Reitz (The Matrix), who extensively utilized the high-end Cedar DNS1000 digital noise suppressor.
"I never thought I'd be editing Marlon Brando," Graham adds. "It was unique and exciting, but also a little bit strange." One interesting aspect in Superman Returns was the casting of Eva Marie Saint––Brando's co-star in On the Waterfront 52 years ago––as Martha Kent, Superman's adopted mother. Although they shared no scenes together, seeing and hearing Brando must have been hard on the actress.
Berkey, whose recent shows as sound designer include X2, The New World and I, Robot, promises big things from the soundtrack of Superman Returns. For example, Superman's heat vision will not be the kind of sci-fi, synthetic sound that past versions have used. "That one's evolved a lot because visually, it's changed a lot," he reveals. "Part of the sound is made up of tiger roars, which we put through a tremolo plug-in––much as you would for an electric guitar, but with a lot of modulation.
Superman Returns will just have to make do with the real thing.

Uttar Pradesh Periyar Spanner In Centres KashiTamil Love Fest
Januari 8, 2023 Desember 3, 2022 falma.u99 centres, kashitamil, periyar, pradesh, spanner, uttar
A month-long Centre-sponsored programme in Uttar Pradesh to showcase the historical and cultural links between Tamil Nadu and Kashi (Varanasi) has prompted the DMK and ally CPM to accuse the government of using "phony" pro-Tamil sentiments to propagate the RSS ideology in the southern state.
The DMK has cheekily referred to how a young Periyar had visited Kashi in search of truth, got disillusioned, given up his plans for renunciation, and returned home to evolve into the great atheist and rationalist who led the Dravidian Movement.
The Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, inaugurated last week by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his constituency of Varanasi in the presence of Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath, will continue till mid-December.
The effort to "celebrate, reaffirm and rediscover age-old links between Tamil Nadu and Kashi" is expected to see more than 2,500 official delegates, including students, brought from Tamil Nadu on special trains in batches. The programme includes visits to centres of pilgrimage like Ayodhya and the Triveni Sangam in Allahabad.
K. Balakrishnan, CPM state committee secretary in Tamil Nadu, has in a stinging article in party organ Theekathir dubbed the event, organised with the taxpayer's money, as "high drama (ideologically) targeting Tamil Nadu".
The ruling DMK has said that Modi's celebration of the Tamil language at the inauguration was ironic given the Centre's bid to "impose" Hindi and promote Sanskrit.
"This Kashi-Tamil Sangamam, ostensibly providing a platform for the Sanskrit and Tamil traditions to engage and converse for better understanding (through seminars and exhibitions), is nothing but a blatant attempt to intrude into the state education department's affairs, do whatever pleases them and to catch them young to plant the seeds of the RSS ideology and Hindutva by bussing in students from Tamil Nadu to Varanasi and other pilgrim centres," Balakrishnan wrote.
He expressed shock at Adityanath's claim at the inauguration that the "two languages — Sanskrit and Tamil — arose from Shiva's two-faced damaru, describing as "absurd" the attempt to accord equal status to these two classical languages from a religious-mythological perspective.
"This claim goes against the grain of… scientific studies done by linguists and scholars on the origin of languages; in the evolutionary process, human societies developed languages as part of an objectification process when men related themselves to other persons and nature, realising the necessity of labour for sheer human survival," Balakrishnan said.
Besides, how could this account of the birth of two languages explain the profusion of languages in India, the CPM leader asked. Are other Indian languages lesser than Sanskrit and Tamil, he wondered.
Associating Tamil with one particular religion — Hinduism — does not accord with historical and literary evidence, Balakrishnan said. "The earliest extant classical Tamil literature of the Sangam period of poetry (100 BCE to 250 CE) do not speak of any gods or idol worship, but only of how the early Tamils related to nature," he wrote.
"'Bakthi' (devotional) literature like the Tiruvasagam came much later. By then, there was already Buddhist, Jain, Christian and Islamic literature in Tamil, written at different points of time. So, to identify Tamil with… Hindu spiritualism, as some speakers sought to do at the inaugural function, does not accord with the facts."
Balakrishnan said the purpose of the Sangamam was to promote the RSS ideology of "homogenising" religion and language in the country. "They are using Tamil to promote the Sanatanists' cause," he alleged.
DMK party organ Murasoli said in an editorial that Modi's words at the Sangamam inauguration did not match his government's deeds.
Is the BJP government ready to walk the talk by taking immediate steps to stop the "imposition" of Hindi on non-Hindi-speaking states, make Tamil one of the official languages at the Centre, and de-emphasise Sanskrit as a third language in the Centre's New Education policy, Murasoli asked.
The DMK mouthpiece also mentioned the young Erode Ramasamy's (Periyar) 1904 visit to Varanasi, where his unpleasant experiences profoundly influenced his later politics, his biographers say. The ugly scenes on the streets of the "holy town" — activities he considered immoral, rampant begging and dead bodies floating in the Ganga — and the humiliation he suffered when he was denied food at a choultry because of his caste, caused him to "abhor" the town, according to the Collected Works of Periyar E.V.R, compiled by K. Veeramani.
The Sangamam is being coordinated by two top centrally funded higher-education institutions, IIT Madras and Banaras Hindu University.

Changing Times: Gay Parade makes it way to Longview
Posted by East Texas Review | Jun 11, 2018 | Featured, Local | 0 |
"The majority of Christians will be welcoming to the LGBT community in the future," -Reverend Robert Phillips, Woodland Christian Church
by Joycelyne Fadojutimi
There was an atmosphere of pride and solidarity as the 5th annual Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender pride parade wound through Longview. Some local businesses set up shop in support of the event. Walmart, Sprint, insurance and credit card companies were in attendance along with various vendors hawking food, beverages and social services. Among these was Peggy Gonzales from Wellness Pointe, promoting free HIV testing.
Though most denominations and churches are standing their ground against homosexuality, some have parted ways and gone the opposite direction; supporting the LGBT community. This is the why three local congregations showed up to offer pride support. One was the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Longview. This congregation caters to the souls of everyone, without regard to religious background. One of this church's parishioners who attended was Madonna Huacuja. She explained her fellowship's position on this sensitive issue.
"I grew up in the church, but they ran me off," she said. "Most churches say they accept everyone, but, honestly, they don't."
In keeping with the inclination of most Unitarian Universalist congregations, the Longview church is spiritually diverse. Its membership has roots in Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, pagan, Humanist, agnostic, atheistic and other backgrounds. This is a denomination that unconditionally respects all religious beliefs. Embracing theistic diversity is a cornerstone of Unitarian Universalist doctrine because many believe there is no solitary religious truth, and that life is a spiritual journey best experienced with others.
St. Andrews Presbyterian Church displayed a sign reading: "Alive in Christ. A heart for community" This house of worship passed out free candy and popcorn. Reverend Mia Levetan co-pastors the church with her husband Reverend Nick Setzer. She made it clear that her congregation believes the Almighty God created and loves everybody.
"Christ died for everyone," she said. "Our presence here today is a churchwide support event. We support the LGBT community because anyone who loves God loves people no matter who they are."
According to her, God is more than humans portray him. There is more to the Lord than humans can fully comprehend. In 2012, the Presbyterian USA commenced ordaining members of the LGBT community for ministry. In 2014, the church started performing same-sex marriages.
The third attending church was Woodland Christian Church, pastored by Robert Phillips, who has a Baptist background. He previously served primarily in churches affiliated with the American Baptist Association. After earning his Master of Theology degree from Texas Baptist Institute/Seminary, Phillips and his wife attended language school in Edinburgh, Texas, where he learned to speak Spanish. He has served the Holy Trinity as a pastor, associate pastor, youth minister, music director, missionary and seminary instructor. He considers it a blessing to have served in both long- and short-term positions on four continents and five countries.
Despite such an impressive resume` he is without arrogance. In January 2013, he came to unheralded Woodland Christian Church because of the Holy Spirit's calling for him to minister to all needing healing and acceptance. He himself suffered the pain of rejection when he came out as gay.
"I discovered the warm welcome and loving acceptance of people who reflected exactly what the love of God is–completely unconditional," he said. "I never thought that I would be able to attend church again, much less teach, preach or participate in communion. Yet, Woodland Christian Church, a people who barely knew me, welcomed me, loved me, opened a place at the table for me and invited me not only to worship, but to serve."
In December 2014, this congregation and its leader voted unanimously to call Phillips as pastor. He brought with him a passion to communicate God's Word to those around him, and to enable the members of Woodland Christian to fulfill their individual tasks willed to them by God for ministry and leadership. In addition to his unshakable conviction that the Creator speaks to us through people, circumstances and everyday happenings, he has no doubt the Word is unconditionally relevant and understandable.
"Our congregation is open and affirming to people from all walks of life," he said. "In Woodland, we let people know God loves them no matter who they are."
Woodland Christian Church is a progressive congregation dedicated to social justice, race relations, and equality for all. Its blended membership includes same-sex married couples, those in same-sex relationships, heterosexual couples and parishioners from diverse walks of life.

Our complete A-Z glossary below provides clear definitions of some of the most widely used terms in the video surveillance industry.
With an auto-iris lens, the iris is controlled automatically to regulate the amount of light entering the camera. This is ideal for camera installations in outdoor locations, high-contrast situations, and areas where lighting conditions fluctuate.
A CCD image sensor is a light-sensitive image device available in many IP network cameras. The sensor transforms light into electronic signals. CCD sensors provide strong light sensitivity allowing for video surveillance in low-light conditions.
CCTV (or closed-circuit television) refers to the use of analog surveillance cameras to submit a video signal to a specific set of monitors. Since a CCTV system is closed, only a limited number of viewers can access the footage from a single location. With the arrival of IP-based surveillance, analog CCTV systems are now being superseded by improved digital technology.
Ethernet is a standard technology for network communications in LANs (Local Area Networks). Ethernet LANs use twisted pair cabling, with network devices connecting to a central cable or hub. The most common Ethernet systems are 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T10, which transmit data at speeds of 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps.
The field of view represents the complete area of coverage provided by a network camera when viewed at full frame. Field of view can be determined by camera type, lens, and image resolution.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used to transfer files from one computer to another, or between devices on the network. An FTP client can connect to an FTP server to access and manipulate the files stored on that server.
Image compression reduces the file size of video images to optimize bandwidth while streaming surveillance footage. The most common compression technologies for IP network cameras are Motion JPEG and MPEG-4. H.264 is the latest compression technology that significantly reduces the file size of high-quality video images.
JPEG is a method of compression for photographic images. The amount of compression can be controlled to allow for a tradeoff between image quality and file size. JPEG is the most commonly used format for storing and sending images over the internet.
IP (Internet Protocol) is a connectionless protocol used for transmitting data over a network. Data is divided into independent packets containing the IP address of both the sender and the recipient. Each computer or network device has its own unique IP address.
An IP address is the unique address of a computer or network device connected to that network. IP addresses allow those network computers and devices to locate each other and transfer data back and forth.
An IP camera (or network camera) captures and transmits live video images directly over an IP network. Each camera has a built-in web server and its own IP address. IP cameras allow for remote viewing, recording, and management from anywhere using a web server or video management software.
A LAN (Local Area Network) is a grouping of computers and network devices that share common resources within a small physical area, for instance an office building or school. LANs usually offer high data transfer rates and use Ethernet or Wi-Fi for network communication.
Lux refers to a standard unit of measure for illumination. In relation to network cameras, lux is the measure of low-light sensitivity provided by the camera.
Megapixel IP cameras provide exceptionally high image detail and are the ideal choice for video surveillance applications where clear identification of people and objects is critical. A megapixel camera will also provide a broader field of view than a conventional surveillance camera, and allows users to zoom in on specific portions of a scene without a significant loss in image detail.
Motion JPEG (MJPEG) is a simple compression technique used to stream digital video images across a network. The quality of the image is guaranteed, regardless of movement because the captured video is a series of separately compressed JPEG images that can be extracted individually. The compression level can be adjusted to control image quality and file size.
A network camera (or IP camera) captures and streams live video images directly over an IP network. Each camera has its own IP address and features a built-in web server. Network cameras allow for remote viewing, recording, and video management from anywhere using a web server or video management software.
A Network Video Recorder (NVR) is a hardware box that receives video streams over a LAN or WAN and captures them onto hard disk in digital format. Recording and playback can be managed remotely using a network PC.
IP cameras with panning capabilities can move back and forth horizontally in order to monitor wider areas. In many cases a camera's panning functionality can be controlled remotely from a network PC using video management software.
In general, a server is a computer program, or a computer running a server program, that provides services to other computer programs. A server appliance is a network-connected hardware appliance that provides dedicated applications to a network, while a web server is a computer program that delivers requested html files and pages to the client.
A tampering alarm is a sophisticated application found in some network cameras that can detect when a camera is being tampered with. The alarm can be triggered by potential acts of tampering, for instance if the camera lens is adjusted, obscured, or covered up.
A video server is a computer-based device dedicated to delivering video streams online. In terms of IP-based video surveillance, a video server converts video footage from analog security cameras into digital IP video streams. This allows users to incorporate existing analog cameras into an IP surveillance system.
Wireless network cameras are able to connect to a network wirelessly, allowing for flexible installation in virtually any location. In general, wireless IP cameras are recommended for use in areas where the installation of cables isn't feasible, and for surveillance applications where cameras will be moved and repositioned regularly.


To give you the best heavy duty steam cleaner, not only did we go through the features of the products available online, but more importantly, we checked out what end consumers have actually experienced. As you know, it happens a lot of times that a steam cleaner has all the right features but fails in the execution part.
There are quite a few names when it comes to heavy duty steam cleaning. Some of them are more popular than the rest, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're the best. Here's our top picks for the best heavy duty steam cleaner brands.
There is a reason why car owners love the McCulloch MC1275. It comes with 18 versatile accessories that you can interchange when you want to clean some parts of your car. If the backseats need some serious steam cleaning, you can always plug in one of those utility brushes and wick off dirt, bacteria, and stains from the seats.
Watch this video for a demonstration on how to steam clean car sets using the McCulloch MC1275.
Other than a reliable cleaning machine for cars, the McCulloch MC1275 performs well on sealed flooring surfaces. Examples include wood, tile, and laminate. To get started, all you have to do is to put the floor mop attachment.
What else can you expect from the McCulloch MC1275? Expect a large water tank that has a 48 oz. capacity. This should give you a maximum steam time of 45 minutes. Expect it to be 10 lbs. in weight and that it comes with a 15-ft. cord.
There are at least two reasons why you want the Wagner 915 steam cleaner. First, it comes with a wallpaper steam plate that helps remove your old wallpaper chemical-free. It releases pressurized steam that, compared with its non-pressurized counterparts, helps remove wallpaper 20 percent faster.
Second, this heavy-duty steamer comes with a fingertip control that lets you choose between two modes of steam operation. Choose between "continuous" or "intermittent" steam.
This steam cleaner may not have as many accessories as the McCulloch, but it's also multi-functional. To clean above-floor surfaces and furniture pieces, choose from a window squeegee and utility brushes. These brushes are ideal for steaming hard-to-clean items of the house such as faucets and barbecue grills.
Two features that we like about the Steamfast SF-370WH is its on-demand steam control and its integrated cord wrap. This steamer is designed to release up to 45 minutes of continuous steam, but because of its on-demand steam control button, you can choose to steam at irregular intervals.
As for its integrated cord wrap, we love this feature because other brands have the cord wrap feature outside the unit. With the Steamfast SF-370WH, the cord can be stored inside.
What is a multi-purpose steam cleaner without accessories? The Steamfast SF-370WH comes with 15 accessories, which include a jet nozzle, 2 nylon utility brushes, a scrub tool, a squeegee, a corner tool, a scrub pad, a sponge pad, and a mop head. These accessories ensure that you clean a variety of surfaces.
The Vapamore MR-100 Primo comes in an attractive shade of yellow, and we just can't take our eyes off it. But other than the beautiful exterior, there are a few things we love about this heavy-duty steam cleaner.
For one, it gives you 60 minutes of continuous steaming, which is 15 minutes longer than the McCulloch and the Steamfast. It comes with a 1/2 gallon water tank, so if you have a large space to clean, consider having this steamer.
The Vapamore MR-100 Primo weighs a lot at 20.5 pounds, but it has an onboard compartment that you can use to store its 18-ft. cord and accessories. Speaking of accessories, expect to get the following when you unbox your package: triangle corner brush, water level dipstick, steam gun and hose, carpet slider, jet nozzle tool, detail scraper tool, nylon grout brushes, brass metal brush, and squeegee.
With all these parts and accessories, you should be able to clean a wide variety of surfaces such as appliances, grouts, carpets, vinyl, garage floors, and windows.

The Discovery Adventures centres will integrate Discovery's media content
photo: SEVEN
Saudi Entertainment Ventures (SEVEN) has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery to bring purpose-built indoor adventures centres to the Kingdom.
The new Discovery Adventures centres will integrate Discovery's media content and will be designed to enable young people to "be entertained and gain informed insights with educational value".
SEVEN, a wholly owned subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), has a goal of transforming the entertainment landscape of the country.
Last year, the company revealed separate plans to invest SAR50bn (US$13.3bn) to develop 21 integrated entertainment destinations across 14 cities in Saudi Arabia.
The first Discovery Adventures centre, spanning an area of around 3,000sq m, will open in Riyadh at SEVEN's entertainment destination, located in the Al Hamra district, and will be Discovery's inaugural indoor adventures centre globally.
SEVEN has partnered with Mycotoo, an entertainment strategy agency and experience design specialist, to design and develop the attractions.
More Discovery Adventures centres are being planned across SEVEN's entertainment destinations in Saudi Arabia and details of the new locations and sizes will be revealed "in due course".
Abdullah AlDawood, chair of SEVEN, said: "The arrival of Warner Bros. Discovery as a key partner to develop exclusive indoor adventures centres in our entertainment destinations marks a new milestone in the evolution of Saudi Arabia's entertainment and reaffirms the Kingdom's position as a leader in the entertainment sector.
"With the mandate to bring truly world-class experiences to the Kingdom, we have carefully curated distinctive Discovery experiences.
"They will add to the diverse portfolio of SEVEN's entertainment attractions in the Kingdom which will enhance people's lifestyles."
Peter van Roden, SVP, Global Themed Entertainment for Warner Bros. Discovery, said: "This is the very first indoor adventures centre for Warner Bros. Discovery here in Saudi Arabia and we're delighted to be launching it through our partnership with SEVEN.
"We are pleased that this indoor adventure featuring Discovery content will further aid in our promise to always strive to deliver experiences that we know our fans will love."

There are two ways for governments to ensure the safety of cyclists. The first option, adopted by civilised countries, is to build bicycle-friendly infrastructure, to enact legislation that favours sustainable modes of transport, to design cities that focus on humans first and motor vehicles last.This inevitably leads to favourable outcomes for all citizens – fewer cars on the road; better public transport; the empowerment of children who can cycle to school instead of being chaperoned by parents; clean air from a decrease in vehicle emissions, and better health outcomes for those who choose to cycle instead of drive. No longer are roads a battleground between cyclists and frustrated motorists. When infrastructure is built that creates a safe haven for cyclists, we see children, women, old people … everyone riding a bicycle. You only need to look to the Scandinavian countries and the Netherlands as positive examples of what can be achieved when governments choose to focus on human-centred outcomes.

"Cuisine is when things taste like themselves"*…
"The destiny of nations," wrote Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, an 18th-century French gastronome, "depends on how they nourish themselves." Today a nation's stature depends on how well it nourishes the rest of the world, too. For proof of this, consider the rise of culinary diplomacy. In 2012 America's State Department launched a "chef corps" tasked with promoting American cuisine abroad. Thailand's government sends chefs overseas to peddle pad Thai and massaman curry through its Global Thai programme. South Korea pursues its own brand of "kimchi diplomacy".
But which country's cuisine is at the top of the global food chain? A new paper by Joel Waldfogel of the University of Minnesota provides an answer. Using restaurant listings from TripAdvisor, a travel-review website, and sales figures from Euromonitor, a market-research firm, Mr Waldfogel estimates world "trade" in cuisines for 52 countries. Whereas traditional trade is measured based on the value of goods and services that flow across a country's borders, the author's estimates of culinary exchange are based on the value of food found on restaurant tables. Domestic consumption of foreign cuisine is treated as an "import", whereas foreign consumption of domestic cuisine is treated as an "export". The balance determines which countries have the greatest influence on the world's palate.
The results make grim reading for America's McDonald's-munching, tariff-touting president. The United States is the world's biggest net importer of cuisine, gobbling down $55bn more in foreign dishes than the rest of the world eats in American fare (when fast food is excluded, this figure balloons to $134bn). China comes next, with a $52bn dietary deficit; Brazil and Britain have shortfalls worth around $34bn and $30bn respectively. Italy, meanwhile, ranks as the world's biggest exporter of edibles. The world's appetite for pasta and pizza, plus Italians' relative indifference to other cuisines, give the country a $168bn supper surplus. Japan, Turkey and Mexico also boast robust surpluses [see chart above].
Mr Waldfogel does not account for culinary hybrids such as the cronut—a cross between a croissant and a doughnut—or Tex-Mex. Nor does he consider authenticity; few Neapolitans would consider Domino's Pizza a real taste of home. Despite this, some cuisines clearly have a bigger worldwide appeal than others. Foodies scoffing spring rolls in San Francisco or cheeseburgers in Chongqing should give thanks to globalisation. A policy of culinary mercantilism could make dining out very dull indeed…

As we contemplate culinary culture, we might send carefully-peeled birthday greetings to John Richard ("Jack" or "J.R.") Simplot; he was born on this date in 1909. An Idaho-based agribusiness entrepreneur, Simplot, J.R.'s eponymous company, became the largest shipper of fresh potatoes by the outbreak of World War II. In 1967, Simplot and McDonald's impressario Ray Kroc agreed by handshake that the Simplot Company would provide frozen french fries to the restaurant chain; by 2005, Simplot was supplying the (by then vastly larger) Golden Arches with half of its french fries and hash browns. Simplot also provided seed capital for Micron Technologies, a successful computer memory chip company.

"First we eat, then we do everything else"*…
How food flows between counties in the U.S.: each line represents the transportation of all food commodities, along transit routes, like roads or railways.
My team at the University of Illinois just developed the first high-resolution map of the U.S. food supply chain.
Our map is a comprehensive snapshot of all food flows between counties in the U.S. – grains, fruits and vegetables, animal feed, and processed food items.
To build the map, we brought together information from eight databases, including the Freight Analysis Framework from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which tracks where items are shipped around the country, and Port Trade data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which shows the international ports through which goods are traded…
These nine counties — mostly in California — are most central to the overall structure of the food supply network. A disruption to any of these counties may have ripple effects for the food supply chain of the entire country.
Megan Konar, one of the principal investigators on the study, explains in fascinating detail how food gets to your home… and lists some of the bottlenecks and vulnerabilities to which we'd be wise to pay attention. Read the study in full here.

As we dig in, we might send well-preserved birthday greetings to Nicolas Appert; he was born on this date in 1749. A confectioner and inventor, he is known as "the father of canning."
In 1795, Napoleon, who famously understood that an army travels on its stomach, had offered a prize of 12,000 francs for a method of preserving food and transporting it to its armies. Appert, who worked 14 years to perfect a method of storing food in sterilized glass containers, won the award in 1810.
Interestingly, that same year (1810), Appert's friend and agent, Peter Durand, took the invention to the other side. He switched the medium from glass to metal and presented it to Napoleon's enemies, the British– scoring a patent (No. 3372) from King George for the preservation of food in metal (and glass and pottery) containers… the tin can.

Cases in Business Marketing aligns with the need of emerging business education. The focus of the cases is on contemporary management thinking and subject-areas that reflect the real business marketing issues. The cases vary in background (such as Natural Gas, Manufacturing, Print Media and ITES) and address a host of emerging issues such as value and its assessment, vendor management, strategic marketing, supplier-buyer relationship, off shoring and cross-functional coordination.


The California Car Duster became popular in the 1980s for its dusting powers. The Duster has since been marketed in all kinds of shapes and sizes, as well as for different applications and can be found in stores and on late-night infomercials. When it comes to car detailing, the California Duster boasts that it won't scratch exterior paint. It will lift dust, reducing the amount of car washes your vehicle needs. It's also simple and easy to use.
Take your California Car Duster out of the case and shake it vigorously. This will remove any excessive debris that may have collected in the paraffin wax-treated cotton strands that make up the duster. This helps--with the guarantee from the company--that the duster won't scratch your car's paint.
Dust your car with the Duster. According to the California Duster company, the Duster works best once it has been soiled. After two or three uses, the duster should be properly broken in.
Shake your Duster out once you are finished dusting your vehicle. This will help prevent excessive debris from accumulating in the Duster and getting stuck in the cotton strands while being stored.
Comb through the cotton strands on your Duster, using your fingers. If strands are stuck together or debris is stuck in the Duster, running your fingers through the strands can release them from one another and eliminate any stuck-on debris.
Wash your California Duster if you think it is too soiled. Wash the Duster by hand, using lukewarm water and a mild soap. A mild detergent like Woolite is recommended by the California Duster company for washing the Duster.
Dry your California Duster. It is important to air dry the Duster and not put it in a clothes drier. A clothes drier can shrink the Duster, so it doesn't properly fit on its handle and it can melt the paraffin wax off of the Duster, causing it to not be as effective in dusting your vehicle.
Use the Duster on cool, dry surfaces only.
Don't use the Duster on the hood of your vehicle right after driving so that the hood has time to cool off.
Don't push your Duster into your car's paint. This will leave wax residue on your vehicle. Dust your car by brushing the Duster across the surface of your car.

Q: Taking control of downloads without using Browser Extensions I've seen download manager programs including IDM taking control of downloads in browsers without having extensions in them and they are calling it (Advanced Browser Integration).
I was wondering if anyone can suggest an approach for a similar situation?

A: IDM only works on Windows and does his Advanced Browser Integration tricks using Windows Filtering Platform which is a windows specific service.
If you want to do something similar on Windows, you should study that platform.
On unix systems, as far as I know, there isn't anything like the Windows Filtering Platform. Packet filtering and other firewall like functionality happens in the kernel and there are multiple implementations of that: which is running (if any) depends on how the user decided to configure the system (even if ipf is almost guaranteed to be the used one on BSD and BSD derived systems).
On Mac Os X specifically you probably want to check Network Kernel Extensions. I'm not sure they are sufficient to do what you want to do, but I suspect they are.

Man's Castle (1933) Review
Proof That It's Pre-Code:
Set in Bagville on the Hudson River, a shanty town. "Privacy, no taxes, running water– a whole river of it."
Skinny dipping! You'll get some nice Loretta Young sideboob out of that, too.
"You're a bag of bones… You'll never be a real women if you don't fill out!" Haha, god, times change.
There's some adultery in here, a shotgun wedding, and it is all a-okay.
Our characters mull the fact that over 12,000,000 people out of work. That's a 10% employment rate in a country without welfare, social security or much in the ways of a social safety net.
Poverty is a funny thing. On one hand, there's a certain amount of freedom afforded to anyone whose schedule escapes the dictates of a job. On the other, you're broke and miserable, kind of making all of that free time taste significantly less sweet.
That's not the case for Bill, whose take on the Great Depression is a surprisingly optimistic one. He may live in the city's slums, but the road is his friend. He's the man who sees the freedom as an opportunity, and the dark night sky as the blanket.
This all comes crashing down when he meets Trina, a beautiful dame with with a demure little smile. After a night out on the town– Bill wearing a suit he's wearing to advertise a restaurant and Trina perfectly amused by his rejections of modern conventions. As will happen, they end up skinny dipping in the Hudson, and soon both are living in a shack of their own.
Trina's even gone so far as to build in a retractable window above the bed for whenever Bill feels claustrophobic. It's fairly often.
If he's inside, he doesn't want to be.
Bill is played by Spencer Tracy as an eager jack-of-all trades. Is he a man typical of the Depression or an aberration? He's resourceful and refuses to let life keep him down, but it's strongly hinted that this was always his way. He's not a man of the Great Depression, but one on the outside, lost and humbled.
Trina is Loretta Young and far more emblematic of their situation. When Bill finds her, she's feeding her last crumbs of her last piece of bread to some pigeons in the park. She can barely keep it together before he takes her out and explains to her his bohemian sense of living. She has the misfortune that befalls too many women: they understand the words but not the emotions. She realizes he must be free to be happy, and that for her to be happy she needs to tie him down.
Their situation is complicated by their lives in the slums. There's the old drunkard, a cranky woman who is all too happy that Prohibition has ended. There's the leering man, who watches Young skinny dip with a feverish glee and plots various ways to get her into various compromising positions. And then there's the most interesting character, an old man who lives in the slums and keeps offering Bill a copy of his Bible to read.
I'm so in love with such a putz.
This sets up the movie to play something like a Capra movie– like You Can't Take It With You with pride instead of money. The film's end precludes the dramatic structure to extend this idea with two endings for two separate sets of characters: one set, including the villain, are treated to a ridiculous cliche, while our two leads are offered a simple solution to their dilemma– one so simple it's almost stupefying.
But mostly Man's Castle is about finding your place in the world with the one you love. Bill and Trina, through their ups and downs, connect in ways both subtle and beautiful. These are two people who escape the Depression through their bond, and it's just as invigorating as you'd hope.

President Obama established Emergency Board (PEB) No. 243 on October 6, to investigate and make recommendations for settlement of the current disputes between the Rail Labor Bargaining Coalition (RLBC) and five other unions, and the National Carriers Conference Committee (NCCC). The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET) and the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division (BMWED) are two of the six unions that comprise the RLBC.
The five-member PEB has 30 days from when it was empanelled on October 7 to investigate and make recommendations to President Obama regarding a settlement of the contract disputes. There is another mandatory 30-day cooling off period that follows. PEB 243 began hearings in Washington, D.C. on October 13.
If the PEB recommendations fail to lead to a voluntary settlement, then the parties would be free to engage in self-help once again at the expiration of the second 30-day cooling off period, which would be December 7, 2011. It is possible for Congress to intervene and legislatively mandate a settlement. If this is done, Congress typically would take the recommendations of the PEB and write them into law.
The ongoing dispute over wages and health care benefits dates to early 2009 when negotiations began between the BLET and BMWED and NCCC for a new collective bargaining agreement. The Railway Labor Act (RLA) governs contract negotiations between the parties. The appointment of the PEB comes at the close of the mandatory 30-day cooling off period, a step in the RLA process that began on September 6, 2011. That's when the National Mediation Board (NMB) released the BLET, BMWED, and the 10 other RLBC unions from mediation with the rail carriers. In total, the 11 rail labor unions involved in the dispute represent 75 percent of all rail workers in the United States who work for major Class 1 railroads.

October 6, 2011 - BMWED Press Release announcing President Obama's appointment of a five member Presidential Emergency Board (PEB-243) today, narrowly averting a national freight rail strike, or lock-out. On September 6, 2011, the National Mediation Board (NMB) released the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes Division of the Teamsters (BMWED/IBT), and ten other rail labor unions from mediation, and, pursuant to Section 5 of the Railway Labor Act, the parties were in a 30 day cooling off period that would have expired at 12:01 AM, October 7, had the President not appointed the PEB.
Exhibit #4 REPORT OF CHARLES H. FAY, PhD.
Exhibit #5 REPORT OF DR. ROBERT TOPEL, PhD.
Exhibit #7 REPORT OF DR. ROBERT E. GALLAMORE, PhD.
Late yesterday, the White House released the report of Presidential Emergency Board No. 243. The full, 101 page report is available here for download or viewing.
The Board made recommendations on wages, health and welfare and supplemental sickness. Additionally, it made recommendations regarding future disposition of BMWED's craft specific proposals on meals and lodging, travel allowance and rate equity on Norfolk Southern. However, the Board made no monetary recommendations on those issues.
I have summoned BMWED's National Bargaining Committee to Washington, D.C. to meet with the Carriers on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 to discuss the Board's recommendations and attempt to fashion an agreement for rank and file ratification. If our initial meeting is unsuccessful, we have meetings scheduled for the following week as well on November 16 and 17. Additionally, I have convened a meeting of the National Association in Kansas City, Missouri on November 30, 2011 to address the Board's report and its consequences.
Under Section 10 of the Railway Labor Act, the BMWED and the Carriers now must honor a 30 day "cooling off" period that expires at 12:01 AM, December 6, 2011. During that time, BMWED cannot strike, nor can the Carriers unilaterally impose new terms and conditions of employment. After the expiration of that cooling off period, either party is free to exercise economic self-help.
Many rumors will be flying over the next 30 days. I urge you to visit this website and contact your local or system union representative to get accurate, up to the minute accounts of what is really going on. We must approach the next 30 days in a disciplined and focused manner, showing solidarity with each other and the members of the other unions affected by the Board's report.
Yesterday, the Chief Executive Officers of the Railroads covered by the recommendations of Presidential Emergency Board No. 243 received a letter from me unconditionally extending the cooling off period to February 10, 2012. The BMWED took this action to spare the nation a railroad strike during the busy holiday season, given the still fragile state of the nation's economy. We made this position clear and public so that shippers and Congress would realize the BMWED would not engage in self-help until at least next February. Any interruption to commerce during this period will be due to Railroad actions, not ours. Read More of this update and view President Simpson's letters to the various railroads.
A mandatory 30 day cooling off period scheduled to end December 6, 2011, went into effect after a Presidential Emergency Board made recommendations for a settlement intended to avert a national rail strike, or lock-out. BMWED rejected those recommendations and on November 22, 2011, BMWED President Freddie N. Simpson advised the NCCC that the BMWED intended to extend the cooling off period until February 10, 2011, in order to further negotiations with the rail carriers, and spare the country a national rail strike during the holiday season. Read More of this press release.
A tentative BMWED freight agreement has been initialed by the parties settling all outstanding bargaining issues, thereby extending the cooling-off period through the ratification process.
As a result, there will be no job actions, including strikes or lock-outs, that otherwise may have occurred midnight February 8th.
These documents illustrate examples of backpay under the tentative agreement. Actual backpay will be based on the rates of pay applicable to the positions you worked between July 1, 2010 and the effective date of the agreement. Your backpay will be based upon the actual hours you worked as well. Net backpay amounts will be based on the prevailing Federal and State payroll taxes. View example tables here.

BMWED/NS Memorandum of Agreement that will be included in the ratification package for NS members.
The American Arbitration Association will begin mailing out ballots for ratification of National Agreement on March 20, 2012. Ballots will be counted on April 20, 2012 with the results posted shortly thereafter. For those who for some reason did not receive the original ballot, duplicate ballots can be requested until the April 16, 2012 deadline. Only one ballot per eligible member will be counted.
I didn't receive a ballot, now what?
Immediately contact the Federation office by telephone or email and advise us that you did not receive a ballot. Our staff will investigate your dues history and determine if you are in good-standing and have paid dues in February 2012 for March 2012. Once that investigation is complete, American Arbitration will mail you a duplicate ballot. The deadline for requesting duplicate ballots is April 16th, however this is the last minute. You will know if you did not receive a ballot long before the deadline. Read President Simpson's letter on duplicate ballots.
April 20, 2012 - It was announced late today that after the American Arbitration Association in New York City tabulated the ballots the majority of those voting chose to ratify and accept the agreement between the BMWED and National Carriers. Only 13,826 members voted, roughly 40% of the total number of eligible members. The contract ratified by a margin of 566 votes.
7,189 in favor or roughly 51% of returned ballots.
6,623 opposed or roughly 48% of returned ballots.
14 voided or roughly 0.1% of returned ballots.
View certified results, broken down by the Class 1's represented by the NCCC.
"While I am disappointed with the number of ballots returned, I am glad that a majority of those voting recognized that despite our disappointment with the healthcare package, this was still a good solid contract." BMWED National Division President Freddie Simpson.
Read the BMWED News Release. Details concerning implementation of the new National Agreement will be forthcoming.
In 2007, BMWED members in national handling voted by a 3 to 1 margin to accept a National Agreement covering the period from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009.
In March of 2008, after 8 years of Amtrak stalled negotiations, prolapsed mediation, Presidential Emergency Board and government intervention, Amtrak workers overwelmingly voted to accept a contract bringing those workers into the new millennium. This contract provided an average of $25,000 in retroactive wages to workers who struggled making ends meet on wages left over from 1999 without any cost of living adjustments.


Le Trio Joubran – the Palestinian masters of the oud – will release their new album The Long March on 12th October 2018 with Cooking Vinyl.
The Trio Joubran, a powerful and mesmerizing live act, have announced European tour dates to coincide with the release of The Long March. They will play at the Barbican in London on 03 February 2019. More Europe tour dates here.
Three brothers, three ouds. Samir, Wissam and Adnan. On stage and in the studio, their instruments come together like three soloists who form one single voice. The oud, or Arabic lute, has become the voice of their souls, the beating heart of their existence with which they have become one. Always three, together.
In their compositions, each one contributes without ever overshadowing the other two. For them, music only has meaning as a trio. With Le Trio Joubran, virtuosity does not give into demonstration. For these natives of Nazareth who come from a long line of luthiers, it is about the perpetuation of a tradition. A tradition they have also deeply renewed by their innovation on the oud, this solo instrument which they have so wonderfully united as an ensemble.
Since 2002, their reputation has continued to grow: from the Olympia in Paris to Carnegie Hall in New York to the United Nations, they have played to sold-out crowds. Accompanied on stage by compatriot and percussionist Youssef Hbeisch, their compositions leave room for their exceptional improvisational talent, and all it takes is just a glance toward the other two for their three voices to quickly become one.
Le Trio Joubran also celebrate their country by setting the words of celebrated poet Mahmoud Darwich to music (À l'Ombre des mots/In the Shadow of Words). Because this is as much about music as it is about Palestine. Listening to the Trio Joubran is plunging into the soul of a people. Egypt had Oum Kalthoum. Lebanon has Fayrouz. Palestine now has Le Trio Joubran.

Films: C is for...
Cagney and Lacey
Eh? No colons? Why, it's the original TVM! With Hotlips Swit instead of Gless. But no Detective LaGuardia, sadly, and we don't think *that* theme tune is anywhere to be seen either, although we'd welcome confirmation of this.

*That* theme tune is indeed nowhere to be seen, neither in the pilot movie nor indeed in the first season (the one with neither Hotlips nor Sharon Gless – the latter was first choice but she was still tied up with "M*A*S*H" at the time, thus clearing the way for Meg Foster and her creepy eyes) – Bill Conti got the call when the future star of "The Trials Of Rosie O'Neill" arrived. As Conti told Jon Burlingame in the latter's excellent book on TV music, the reason such a grim and miserable show has such an upbeat, cheerful sax-led theme tune is that CBS had scheduled "Cagney & Lacey" after the sadly-underrated-over-here "Newhart" and they wanted to hold its audience, and also to not "advertise that it's a cop show."

Not enough "wacka-wacka" guitar to be a true 70's cop show!
Presumably the "flasher bit" must have come from an actual episode in the series – as was generally the case with title sequences of this period – so wouldn't have needed lip reading by the lazy Points of View letter-writers…
Actually, the culmination of that long and slightly tedious PoV correspondence (spot the tautology there) was a message from Tyne Daly herself, claiming that the shot was indeed a bit of stand-alone whimsy shot specially for the title sequence while they were on location, the 'dialogue' was non-existent and ad-libbed on the spot, and therefore the viewing several were, once again, wasting their time. Although that may well just have been a fib to shut them up…
The fact that it began and ended in the '80s may have had something to do with it.
Very true! The 80's it was. Still a shite show though.

It also featured Martin Kove as some muscle flexing hard man detective, which probably set him up for his best known role as the evil Sensei Kreese in The Karate Kid. Still, a very good show for its time and I enjoyed the re runs on BBC Two a couple of years ago, but the ladies toilets, they were like something out of a Glasgow dive.

I just try to imagine how to get a child think out of their indoor habitat to the outdoor world. It just happens naturally, isn't it? Have you thought about how you had the first insight to your house, your neighborhood, your state, your country, and finally to the world?
has been on my radar in opening children's eyes toward the real world from their bedroom. This book is not something new actually, but it has a great idea to open the children's insight toward the outside world in a gradation. The gradation or hierarchy here means from room, house, street, town, state or province, country and the world.
Although the book is thin with simple sentences, there are a lot of activities we can do with children to get emerged in each of the environment and society.
The introduction for children to the social environment can be extended toward the communities, economic, and government on the next level of learning. Therefore, we cannot underestimate the very simple book, Me on the Map by Joan Sweeney.
The package contains 46 pages to explore the book using narration and drawing.
This activities actually can be used for children from K-3 in some levels.
There are basic lined and primary lined pages with both boy and girl image. Therefore, you can use them for either boy or girl.
There is a page for drawing with border and title for each level of environment or society.
Some cues of writing are given for each environment or society.
Give proper credit to Blessed Learners when blogging about the note booking pages.

BLVS opened in 1998 as the first virtual program in Kansas. The courses are all designed and taught by Basehor-Linwood School District certified teachers and the program fully accredited by the state of Kansas. This program is for adults who are 19 and older looking to receive their high school diploma. This is not a GED program.
Basehor-Linwood Virtual School has certain requirements that all students fulfill to maintain enrollment. It is important to communicate with us if you are having any difficulties meeting these expectations. The progress of our students will be monitored on a weekly basis. To see a complete listing of these requirements check the student handbook, pages 8-10. The student handbook can be found on the right side panel.
BLVS recommends that adult students only work on one class at a time. When students come in to take their finals and return their textbook, their next class is started at that time. This process can be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
BLVS students have access to 40+ licensed professionals (teachers, administrators, counselors) who provide instructional and assessment support for all courses. It's the responsibility of students to monitor their progress and grades through Canvas and to communicate with the BLVS staff through the student's BLVS Google e-mail accounts.
Textbooks are processed, exchanged and purchased in time for school to begin in August. It is the student's responsibility to maintain proper use of all leased materials and textbooks. Upon termination of enrollment, you are responsible for returning all materials and textbooks within 30 days, or the collection process will be turned over to a State Collection Service.

Amèlle takes off with with Runaway remix
Posted On April 19, 2019 In ENTERTAINMENT
0 likes56 views2 min
Canadian-Lebanese singer Amèlle is currently in the island ramping up promotions behind her latest single Runaway (the remix), featuring Beenie Man.
"I've always been a huge fan of Beenie Man. When the director Wayne South heard (the original) Runaway" through my collaborator Gvine at PHS Entertainment, he was inspired to run with it. He asked Beenie Man to hear it and the rest was history! That same week, Runaway the remix was created," she said.
Runaway (the remix) is slated for release next month on the PHS Entertainment imprint. The original song came out in December 2018.
This is Amèlle's first trip to Jamaica and she is relishing the experience.
"I'm absolutely loving the people and the culture, it's very free-spirited and music-filled. I love the Jamaican vibes!" Amèlle said.
She pointed out the similarities between Jamaica and Lebanon.
"Jamaica is like Lebanon with how the culture is; from the greenery to the beaches and the roosters waking me up in the morning, the small shops on the street and how important music is to the people. Even driving on the opposite side of the road and hearing honking everywhere you go," she said, laughing.
Amèlle and her family migrated to Canada when she was seven years old.
She connected with Canadian rapper Choclair in 2016. He invited to PHS Studio where she has been co-writing and recording with PHS Entertainment.
Her songs include Expensive Taste and Step Back.
"I want to drop my debut album this summer," she said.

DeKALB – The DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. soon will have a new address, as it's slated to relocate to 2179 Sycamore Road, across from Lowe's, by early May.
Paul Borek, DCEDC executive director, who's been with the organization since 2008, said the new location, in the Brookview Terrace building next to Blue Line Driving School and DeKalb Montessori, is a prime spot for access to both DeKalb and Sycamore residents, with optimal distance from Interstate-88, as well as Route 23. The organization will be moving from its current location at 421 N. California St., Suite 200, in Sycamore.
"We're excited about the new location because it will offer us a visible commercial presence," Borek said Monday.
He announced the impending location change at the DCEDC's Economic Outlook Luncheon on Thursday.
The new 2,800-square-foot space will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and also have ample public meeting space, Borek said. The space will include offices for the two full-time employees, one part-time employee, and two interns who make up the DCEDC staff.
The DCEDC serves as an economic development advocate for countywide businesses, and is in the middle of implementing its strategic plan, called the DeKalb County Thriving! Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy.
The plan's goal is to attract investment, expand the economy and create jobs in DeKalb County, according to the DCEDC website.
It was created in 2018, and the relocation is part of the plan, Borek said.
As part of the DCEDC's ongoing efforts to support growing businesses in the county, and expand the workforce and talent pipelines, the comprehensive economic plan has been assigned to five different committees, Borek said.
"Sixty leaders are working on five working groups and committees to ensure we have the five areas of our strategic planning covered," Borek said.
The strategic plan includes creating a talent pipeline to meet the needs of employers; identifying and supporting target industries to grow DeKalb County's economy, improving and contributing to the business climate to support local expansion and attraction, working on branding the county to put DeKalb on the map and collaborating with countywide partners, Borek said.
"We're working to differentiate ourselves from the regional, national and global marketplace to contribute to our economy an institution like Northern Illinois University, Northwestern Medicine Kishwaukee Hospital and strong business sectors," Borek said.
As part of DCEDC's preparation for its relocation, Borek and his team are implementing a special fundraising season, called the Plus 10% Fundraising Campaign.
"We're asking our members and nonmembers to support us in our relocation," Borek said.
The DCEDC will be asking their local supporters to donate an extra 10% beyond their normal donation, for a one-time, step-up to help provide for moving costs.

Abstract The angular distribution and the energy spectrum of hot electrons with energy over 50 keV emitted from ethanol droplets irradiated by linearly polarized 150 fs laser pulses at the intensity of 10(16) W/cm(2) have been measured. The angular distribution of hot electrons is found to be dependent on the laser polarization. Two hot electron jets like double leaves symmetrically with respect to the laser propagation direction are observed within the polarization plane. The maximum energy of the hot electrons is found to be more than 750 keV. A model based on the resonance absorption can be used to interpret the above distribution. The calculation agrees well with the experimental results.

The Stories Behind 8 Iconic Cycling Jerseys
Cycling's most legendary kits embody the feats of the riders who wore them
By chris sidwells
@bicyclingdesign
In his new book, The Art of the Cycling Jersey, published by Rodale, Yorkshire, UK-based author Chris Sidwells explores the history of cycling's most iconic jerseys (including some worn by his uncle and hero, British world road champion Tom Simpson). Here are some of his favorites.
Watch how the Tour de France yellow jerseys get made so quickly:
It was the manner and margin of Italian rider Fausto Coppi's victories that gave the Bianchi jersey its place in cycling. When Coppi won, he was almost always alone, and almost always minutes in front of the next rider.
RELATED: The Making of the "Colors of Victory" Poster
BIC, the maker of ballpoint pens, was the first sponsor to commit to almost the entire budget of a team. It had equipment suppliers, but BIC was the only name on the jerseys. The team existed from 1967 to 1974.
Gan-Mercier
Gan was a French insurance company that cosponsored a team with French bike maker Mercier, from 1972 until 1976, becoming part of a long history: Mercier sponsored a cycling team from 1935 to 1983.
In 1971 Molteni took over Eddy Merckx's Faema-Faemino team, with one objective: support Merckx. Merckx had one objective: win. Seven Grand Tours, two world titles, and 11 Monuments fell to him in Molteni colors. (Celebrate Merckx's Tour de France wins with our newest Eddy Merckx Alphabet T-Shirt!)
There has been a King of the Mountains title at the Tour since 1933, but the polka dot jersey made its first appearance in 1975. Lucien Van Impe won it that year, the third of his six Tour KOM titles.
Rainbow Molteni
The stripes on the reigning World Champion's jersey represent the colors on the flags of all the nations that participated in the first modern Olympic Games, held in 1896. Merckx was wearing the rainbow stripes during the 1975 Tour de France, when he was punched by a spectator on the Puy-de-Dome on Stage 14. He lost the race lead to Peugeot's Bernard Thévenet on the next stage, then crashed on Stage 17 and fractured his cheek, but still finished second in Paris.
Salvarani is a maker of stylish kitchen equipment. In the '60s, its design was inspired in part by Fiat and Vespa, and represented Italian chic. The company also sponsored rock concerts by groups such as the Beatles.
Yellow Peugeot
This jersey was worn by Bernard Thévenet (then on Peugeot) when he effectively ended Eddy Merckx's reign on cycling—and five-time Tour de France winning streak—by defeating him to win the 1975 Tour.

Three Elvises and posh nosh for Hackney's older folks this Christmas
By Lucie Heath | November 30, 2017

Christmas can be a difficult time of year for many older people, with over half a million pensioners in the UK at risk of spending it alone.
But one charity is bringing some festive cheer to Hackney's older residents – with cabaret, acrobats and not just one, but three Elvises.
Posh Club Hackney, an event for "elegant elders and glamorous golden girls", takes place every Wednesday from 12-3pm at St Paul's Church in Stoke Newington.
In the run-up to Christmas, the team will be putting on four shows – one each on 6 and 13 December, followed by two on 20 December.
A £5 ticket pays for afternoon tea and hours of traditional entertainment, reminiscent of old British music halls and variety shows. Attendees should get their glad rags on – the "swanky" dress code is strictly enforced.
Posh Club's Tracey Smith said: "Anyone aged over 60 can buy a ticket and enjoy the show with some tea and cake."
Over the month, guests will be treated to performances from cult cabaret artist Ursula Martinez, OAP rapper Ida Barr and wartime vocal trio The Victory Sisters, among others.

Tracey said Posh Club is especially important around Christmas time: "We're very much concerned with combatting social isolation and giving people the opportunity to forge new friendships that may also extend beyond the weekly events.
"Quite a few guests become re-acquainted with folks they may not have seen for 30, 40, even 50 years. There are also a number of people who come to The Posh Club on their own."
She added: "We take care to initiate introductions between new and existing guests and it's not long before conversations are in full swing."
Posh Club is always on the lookout for volunteers, who Tracey says "play a central role" in activities by hosting or waiting on guests.
She said: "Being a Posh Club volunteer is a huge feel-good experience, as well as an opportunity to show respect and to serve the elders who have served our community.
"We welcome volunteers who can commit on a regular basis and also those who may only be able to volunteer once."
After December's shows Posh Club Hackney will take a short break before returning on Wednesday 21 February.
To volunteer, contact Tracey at hackney@theposhclub.co.uk
