MANILA, FEBRUARY 2, 2009 (STAR) A worker stacks sacks of charcoal for sale along Andaya Highway in Camarines Sur yesterday. The tight supply and rising price of LPG are forcing poor families to use charcoal for cooking. Edd Gumban President Arroyo ordered the Department of Energy (DOE) and other concerned government agencies yesterday to do a better job in ensuring a stable supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
"The President has ordered the concerned agencies to be on top of the situation, look closely into this (LPG shortage)," Press Secretary Cerge Remonde said.
"We will deploy all resources of government to address the situation," he said.
Remonde issued the statement after combined operatives of the DOE and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) seized on Friday more than 2,000 LPG tanks allegedly hoarded in a warehouse in Sta. Cruz, Manila.
Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes and his subordinates have been under fire in the past weeks from the public and lawmakers for failing to prevent the shortage of cooking gas despite his repeated pronouncements of swift action on the problem.
"These actions (to ensure LPG supply) are ASAP. The people cannot wait in line for LPG," Remonde said of Mrs. Arroyo's directive.
Mrs. Arroyo earlier imposed a two-week deadline on Reyes and other agencies to resolve the LPG shortage.
"Give us another two weeks. If the problem is not abated, we will call the Department of Energy to task," he said.
Malacañang warned suspected LPG hoarders could face charges of economic sabotage, which carries a penalty of life imprisonment.
Justice Secretary Raul Gonzalez, for his part, has ordered the NBI to help the DOE in tracking down suspected LPG hoarders.
Sectors are blaming LPG hoarding as the cause of continuing increase in the prices of the cooking gas in Metro Manila even as Secretary Reyes made assurance that there is no LPG shortage in the country.
Reyes said the supply of LPG should normalize tomorrow with the reported delivery of 23,000 metric tons.
But consumers continue to complain about the difficulty of purchasing LPG from dealers who are claiming shortage in supply.
On top of the shortage in LPG, dealers are selling P100 above the average price.
Last Friday's seizure by the NBI of the LPG tanks in the Manila warehouse virtually confirmed suspicions of hoarding by several retailers in an apparent attempt to control the prices of LPG even as prices of crude oil in the world market continued to decline.
NBI Director Nestor Mantaring said they have additional reports of some traders hoarding LPG stocks in Metro Manila.
The NBI is helping the DOE monitor the supply of LPG in the market amid complaints of shortage of the cooking gas.
Even local officials are exerting efforts to monitor the situation.
Caloocan City Mayor Enrico Echiverri, for his part, warned retailers in the city against hoarding LPG stocks.
Echiverri said he received numerous complaints of LPG shortage and some retailers taking advantage of the situation.

Local Firms Merit Praise
By Eugene Scott
Ripping Russia has become a parlor game for some cynical journalists who focus on the problems plaguing the former Soviet Union rather on than its extraordinary progress. Russian noses have been rubbed in their own business calamities so frequently that it is surprising that two of the country's most precious commodities -- self-esteem and self-confidence -- have not collapsed altogether. My three years in the business community here have been progressively heartening and I can offer a few examples. The Kremlin Cup, Russia's only major professional sporting event, commissioned different theme posters from an American ad agency based in Moscow, an Israeli firm and the local Olympic Stadium staff. Guess which finished the work first? Astonishingly, the Russian entity.
Three years ago, similar assignments were muffed repeatedly by Moscow enterprises. Printing deadlines for posters, tickets and badges were either missed or ignored. Attempts to market the event through television and radio commercials, print advertising campaigns, street signs, brochure distribution and electronic displays were met with a combination of disinterest and disbelief. Today all are a regular part of the tournament's publicity campaign and are implemented with flair and energy by Russian enterprises.
There's more. In the first year of operation in 1990, Pan Am was the closest thing to an "official" airline, donating a dozen New York-Moscow tickets for media celebrities like Bud Collins, the ever-colorful TV announcer, and ace sports photographer Mel DiGiacomo.
Aeroflot, on the other hand, couldn't comprehend the concept of barter -- advertising at the Kremlin Cup in exchange for air tickets. After all, Aeroflot is a monopoly. Why would a monopoly need to advertise? To be fair, Aeroflot's officials wanted to help, but couldn't figure out how or why. One Aeroflot official finally agreed to secure a half-dozen tickets for VIPs. Sadly, he had in mind reservations only -- not free tickets.
Meanwhile, British Airways was unofficially one of our staunchest supporters. British Airways had no budget to support a sports sponsorship in a country deemed to be a frontier rather than consumer territory. Despite that fact, it helped whenever possible with air-freighting programs, - electronic line calling devices and other high-tech equipment, plus providing the occasional press ticket.
Pan Am's lack of enthusiasm in 1991 could charitably be chalked up to the confusion of its routes being taken over by Delta. Aeroflot, whose faith in the Kremlin Cup was more blind than enlightened, lurched into the breach and was helpful, more so from its Moscow bureau than the New York office, which hadn't updated the old Russian work ethic.
By 1992, both British Airways and Aeroflot had consolidated their belief in the Kremlin Cup as the country's most significant sporting event. One U. S. carrier, in contrast, had retreated in the opposite direction. As an American entrepreneur who has done deals with more than a dozen airlines over 20 years of promoting tennis events, I have rarely experienced such a negotiating style. First, we had a deal if we could make some concessions. We made the concessions. Then we had a real deal. Or so I thought.
"Oh, now our deal has to be approved by senior management", was the response by the airline's junior varsity representative. The whole experience was reminiscent of early dialogues with Soviet bureaucrats.
Fortunately, neither player's nor sponsor's travel plans depended on such caprice. But the point of the story is that Aeroflot, with little exposure to the subtleties of advertising, and British Airways, with no immediate tactical reason to become involved with us, behaved more sportingly, and with more vision, if the Kremlin Cup expands exponentially, than a venerable American carrier with volumes of experience in the sports marketing field.
And there's still more. In 1990, I confess I was guilty of acute paranoia that the Kremlin Cup could not succeed without Western suppliers and administration.
Thus we imported a Western staff. Western officials including the referee of Wimbledon, Western speakers for the Kremlin Cup business symposium, Western food, wine and chefs for the VIP hospitality village.
Since then, we have tried to rely almost exclusively on Russian suppliers, supplies and employees. It works. We'll never again fall into the jingoistic trap of saying "The West knows best".
Since tennis is the most global of sports, played in over 200 countries, it is not surprising that we do wave international colors. The marketplace can't ignore multi-national corporations utilizing the reach of sports to magnify their ever-expanding business aspirations. Thus, when Italtel, the giant Italian telecommunications company, joined the Kremlin Cup as title sponsor, there was no surprise, but no complacency either.
The proudest example of "Russianization", nonetheless, is the replacement of last year's American presenting sponsor, the ICD Group, with Microdin, an all-Russian firm. Entry by a local Moscow venture as a leading patron amidst many glamorous Western cartels is a more startling triumph than Russian Andrei Cherkasov winning the first two Kremlin Cups. This heady evolution has happened in just three years.
The advice from here is basic tennis tactics. Respect teamwork. In doubles, for instance. Then a neighborhood translation: Respect rubles. and while you're at it, respect Russia too.
Eugene Scott is Director of the Kremlin Cup, a New York lawyer and a former member of the U. S. Davis Cup team.

Arcidiecéze cambraiská (lat. Archdiocesis Cameracensis, franc. Archidiocèse de Cambrai) je francouzská římskokatolická arcidiecéze. Leží na území arrondissementů Avesnes-sur-Helpe, Cambrai, Douai a Valenciennes v departementu Nord v regionu Nord-Pas-de-Calais se sídlem v Cambrai, kde se nachází i katedrála Notre-Dame de Grâce. Arcidiecéze je součástí Lillské církevní provincie.

Historie
Biskupství bylo v Cambrai založeno na konci 6. století, přibližně roku 580, když sem bylo sídlo diecéze po smrti franského biskupa svatého Vedasta (Vaasta) přesunuto z Arrasu. Ačkoli byla nová diecéze podřízena remešské arcidiecézi, měla v jurisdikci značné území, zahrnující i Bruselský region a Antverpy.

V raném středověku byla diecéze součástí Lotharingie a následně Západofranské říše, kde vládl Karel II. Holý, do které připadla na základě Meersenské smlouvy (870). Vzhledem k různým politickým problémům přešla v roce 925 pod německého krále Jindřicha I. Ptáčníka.
Po revoltě Giselberta Lotrinského, která skončila jeho porážkou v bitvě u Andernachu, se vzdal král Ludvík IV. Francouzský Lotharingského území, které připadlo Jindřichovi I.

Král Ota I. Veliký, syn Jindřicha I., ratifikoval roku 941 všechna privilegia udělená franskými panovníky biskupům z Cambrai.

V roce 1007 získalo cambraiské biskupství říšskou bezprostřednost, která byla udělena svatým Jindřichem II. Cambraiští biskupové získali světskou moc nad bývalým hrabstvím Cambrai, čímž byli ustanoveni pány dvanácti peerů z Cambrai. Kníže-biskup z Cambrai se stal Říšským stavem.

Na žádost Filipa II. Španělského byla v roce 1559 vytvořena nová arcidiecéze Mechelen-Brusel, spolu s dalšími jedenácti diecézemi v jižním Nizozemí jako reakce na Reformaci. Tyto změny značně omezily, díky ztrátě velké části území, moc cambraiské diecéze, která byla povýšena na metropolitní arcidiecézi se sufragánními diecézemi Saint-Omer, Tournai a Namur.

Za vlády krále Ludvíka XIV. se stalo arcibiskupství po obléhání Cambrai v roce 1677 konečně francouzským, což bylo potvrzeno Nijmegenským mírem (1678, 1679). Od roku 1790 se stala Cambrai součástí nového departementu Nord. Arcidiecéze se stala po konkordátu z roku 1801 opět pouze diecézí, podřízenou pařížské arcidiecézi, nově zahrnující území zrušených diecézí Tournai, Ypres a Saint-Omer. V roce 1817 se dohodl papež Pius VII. s králem Ludvíkem XVIII. na založení diecéze v Lille, což ale tvrdě odmítal Louis de Belmas, ústavní biskup biskup z Cambrai. Ihned po jeho smrti, roku 1841, se stala Cambraiská diecéze podruhé metropolitní arcidiecézí se sufragánní arraskou diecézí.
25. října 1913 byla zřízena lillská diecéze, která se stala druhou sufragánní diecézí cambraiské arcidiecéze. Lillská diecéze byla v roce 2008 povýšena na metropolitní arcidiecézi se sufragánní arcidiecézí cambraiskou (které z historických důvodů zůstal titul arcidiecéze) a diecézí Arras.

Arcibiskup z Cambrai
V letech 2002–2018 byl arcibiskupem z Cambrai Mons. François Garnier. Dne 25. května 2018 byl Vincent Dollmann, pomocný biskup štrasburský, ustanoven biskupem-koadjutorem v Cambrai. Arcibiskupem z Cambrai se stal po smrti. Mons. Garniera dne 15. srpna 2018.

Významní arcibiskupové
 François Fénelon, vychovatel Ludvíka Francouzského
 kardinál Guillaume Dubois, první ministr Francie
 Charles de Saint-Albin, legitimizovaný syn regenta Francie Filipa II.

Moshe Tamssot has been "harvesting" bricks at the demolition site of Harpo Studio. He says he'd rather see the bricks in the hands of people who appreciate history than in a landfill.
As demolition of Harpo Studios continues, one West Loop resident has been trying to preserve some of its history. Moshe Tamssot (MO-sha TAM-sott) says it's too bad the now-shuttered building where Oprah filmed her TV show is coming down, but he's been collecting bricks from the site at night and giving them for free to people who want a keepsake. Tamssot says he's taken care not to trespass on the site, and that he'd rather see them in the hands of people who care about the history of the West Loop than in a landfill.

Ok, so maybe you want to work on fixing something in a portion of FreeBSD code, but you lack the knowledge to get started. That is what this document is for, to get you started.
For this example, I am going to use Sysinstall, which is a pretty old installer but still in use and functional. Let's be honest, when the developers write in the code that Sysinstall needs to be completely rewritten and those notes are almost a decade old, you can guess that the installer is living far past its days. However, I don't mind Sysinstall and many others don't mind it either, which is probably why it is not updated yet. So lets at least see if we can inspire some contributors to start working on it. Sysinstall is actually on the Project Ideas page for a couple reasons, though I am surprised that "complete rewrite" is not one of them.
Follow this guide to make sure you have the source you need.
How to download FreeBSD-Current or FreeBSD-Stable using svn?
Now that you have read that post and have the source, you should understand what I mean when I say for this example I checked out head.
Change to the directory where your source is stored.
It is probably a good idea to browse the folders and get an understanding of what code is where. But this is a task you should perform over time. For now, lets search for exactly what we want: sysinstall.
Step 4 – Compile with debugging.
FreeBSD uses make to manage the compiling of the code, so it is really easy to compile it all.
Run this command to compile Syinstall with debugging.
You should now see all the .o libraries and the sysinstall libraries. You have just compiled a portion of FreeBSD.

Analyse the techniques used in the sequence in which the alien emerges in 'war of the world's' (Spielberg, 2005) and comment on their effect.
Analyse the techniques used in the sequence in which the alien emerges in 'war of the world's' (Spielberg, 2005) and comment on their effect. Steven Spielberg directed 'War of the Worlds' in 2005. He has transformed the original story written by H.G.Wells- in 1898- to a modern action sci-fi but still presenting the original message to the audience; that humans should not believe that they are the superior beings. Spielberg has adapted the story to appeal to a modern audience. He does this in various ways, such as, setting the story in America as they are now known as the superpower. Another way he does this is by including new up to date technology; an additional way he has updated it is by referring to the newly posed terrorist threat. The sequence being used in this essay is chapter four- 'The Cylinder Unscrews' as named in the original book. At the beginning of the scene the main character, Ray played by Tom Cruise, approaches the cylinder. Spielberg uses de saturated colours at this point, to produce a warning and ominous atmosphere. To suggest that the people in the film feel confused Spielberg shows Ray and his two acquaintances discussing what they imagine is happening and the possibilities of what provoked it and what it could be. The relevance of this conversation to what is happening is that the audience feel the same way; it continues the unknown and confused feeling Spielberg is attempting to create. ...read more.
The falling of the spire emphasises the deterioration of the faith that existed in the hearts of many when this ordeal first began. At this point Ray and the other actors are fleeing the scene but they stop, being naturally curious they wait for whatever is below to emerge so they can be introduced and investigated. The audience's view is obstructed at this point to create tension and introduce the following part of the scene; the part where the alien emerges. The shot that is used to show the ground collapsing is a high-angled shot, used to make the people around look small and helpless and the hole seem large and powerful to introduce the alien. Smoke and fire emerges from the pit suggesting that the 'thing' below is destructive and alive. The alien then throws a car out of the pit in a way that could be described as spitting it out; the shot used is a long shot. The fact that the alien can just throw a heavy car and a modern object out in the manner that it does shows that it is very strong and our technology is inferior to it and wouldn't pose a threat to it. After the alien has disposed of the car it begins to emerge. The first part the audience sees in the arm/leg of the 'thing' that is incredibly long and strong. The camera shot used as the leg jumps out of the hole is a long shot. ...read more.
destroying the buildings; another way he makes it seem unavoidable is by showing it so large compared to the town and displaying its image as reflections in all glass surfaces. Ray/Cruise's reaction is one of fear. Other things the alien also destroys consist of cars buildings and other things such as trees etc. The destruction is displayed using a selection of shots, ones that consist of high angled, low angled, close ups and mid shots. The effect of these shots is again to help the audience see the destruction from all the views and involve them in every possible way. The symbolic significance of the people turning into ashes and buildings being destroyed can be seen as a connection to God, ash as in funerals (ashes to ashes, dust to dust...). The colours used in the end of this scene are saturated colours and unsaturated. The things that appear onscreen saturated consist of the fire made from the surrounding rubble and debris. These colours are used here to emphasise the destruction and demolition. The audience after this sequence feel involved and attached, they want to watch on to see what will happen next. They can expect that in the rest of the film they will see more destruction, more aliens and a lot more chaos. Spielberg uses this sequence to prepare the audience for the following by giving them a basic introduction to the nature of the film, the action and destruction/devastation that is the basic outline of the film along with the aliens' destiny on earth.

President Obama Unveils War Authorization Resolution Against ISIS
Kyle W. Bell | February 12, 2015
Categories: National, Politics
President Barack Obama today made the case for military action against ISIS. The president unveiled a proposal to grant him authorization for the use of force. He is seeking a vote in Congress.
"The so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a threat to the people and stability of Iraq, Syria, and the broader Middle East, and to U.S. national security. It threatens American personnel and facilities located in the region and is responsible for the deaths of U.S. citizens James Foley, Steven Sotloff, Abdul-Rahman Peter Kassig, and Kayla Mueller. If left unchecked, ISIL will pose a threat beyond the Middle East, including to the United States homeland," the White House wrote in a message to Congress.
The proposal does not allow for ground troops to be deployed for "enduring offensive ground combat operations." The wording leaves the door open for special forces missions. It also contains a provision aimed at soothing concerns of war-weary Americans: the resolution limits authorization to a three year time period after enactment, although Congress would have the authority to reauthorize the mission.
"I am convinced that the U.S. should not get back into another ground war in the Middle East — it's not in our national security interest and not necessary for us to defeat ISIL," the president says.
The resolution would repeal the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq. The United States removed its troops from Iraq at the end of 2011 but the law authorizing the war remained in effect.
However, the joint resolution leaves in places the war authorization that dates back to shortly after September 11, 2001 — often known simply as the AUMF. President Obama had said in the past that he wanted to repeal the AUMF of 2001.
The AUMF of 2001 allowed President Bush and subsequent presidents "to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons."
Since the AUMF of 2001 has not been repealed, the war authorization continues to be used to justify actions across the globe. Its open-ended wording has drawn criticism from civil liberties organizations. The government has used the war authorization to justify the NSA's electronic surveillance programs and for a variety of US military actions across the globe, including drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen.
The president maintains that his proposed actions are justified and that ISIS will ultimately be defeated.
"Now, make no mistake, this is a difficult mission and it will remain difficult for some time," the president said during a press conference. "Our coalition is on the offensive, ISIL is on the defensive and ISIL is going to lose."

Mayoral Election In Los Angeles, California 2022
There have been six referendums on the question of removing the post of elected mayor, of which 3 have been disestablished. The query about regardless of whether we ought to have a lot more elected mayors has been hotly contested. Conservative governments have demonstrated a surprisingly enduring enthusiasm for elected mayors for several years, in the face of opposition from several of their own MPs, neighborhood politicians of all political hues and the demonstrable apathy and mistrust of the public. Joseph Chamberlain, who led the foundation of the University of Birmingham, was elected Mayor of Birmingham in 1874 and acted as catalyst for hugely substantial improvements to the lives of the persons of Birmingham in the 1870's and 80's.
Lists of park rules and upcoming dog events at the Courtland Avenue Dog Park. These requests are assigned to the Police District Captains in an effort to help residents with issues with regards to their communities. Details on bids & request for proposals notices, including current RFPs/RFQs and Bid Opportunities. Obtain a beach permit on-line, by mail or in particular person to park at 1 of Stamford's several beaches. Report concerns of air quality that could be causing potential health challenges.
Having said that, a noncharter code city that has retained its old mayor-council program of government, as provided in RCW 35A.02.130, is subject to the laws applicable to that old program of government. Past regional elections Obtain previous outcomes and voter turnout numbers, read the preceding pre-election report and come across candidate sources for the neighborhood elections in 2019. Thereafter the Mayor-President shall hold office for a term of four years beginning on the 1st day of January following his election. He shall be a certified voter of the Parish and if any time for the duration of his term of workplace he shall cease to reside inside the Parish his workplace shall be deemed vacant. To some, the image of mayoral voting painted by Who Votes for Mayor?
That is why we have had so several regulations in the metropolitan area for the past 20 years. Now these regulations have become obstacles for Seoul in its competition with other creative cities about the planet. As you know, now we are moving from a know-how-based society to an era of creative and emotion-oriented industries and in such an era, I think it would be unfair if you had to pay greater taxes just due to the fact you have a enterprise or an workplace in Seoul. First of all, what I consider is essential is my belief that competitors equals competitiveness.
And generating such an atmosphere is the job of the municipal government. When they have small inconveniences in their everyday lives in a city, individuals have a tendency to be reluctant to invest in the city. So we have a system in place exactly where we hold standard town meetings of international residents right here in Seoul so that we can hear their challenges and we can reflect their suggestions in our city administration. These are the most basic and sensible solutions in order to make a city additional competitive.
The mayor in this type appoints an assessor, tax collector, treasurer, clerk and any officers offered for by regional ordinance. He or she also appoints all other officers and personnel of the municipality, unless the Civil Service provisions are in effect. The mayor has the dual function of chief executive and presiding officer of the council, and votes with council but has no veto power. Beneath this form, the council passes ordinances and resolutions, passes the spending budget, consents to the appointments of the mayor and has investigative powers but it possesses no administrative authority.
The neighborhoods are compact, walkable, and endowed with a solid stock of housing. It has a remarkably varied and substantial network of open spaces, cultural and civic institutions. The City established its present type cacake of government in 1870 when the Very first Mayor of Laurel was elected.
Albany's historic and diverse neighborhoods are the foundation of our City. I worked with the Typical Council to enact groundbreaking equity legislation and policing reform initiatives and has led a multi-year effort to eliminate blight and sub-standard housing in the City. 311 On the web is our major source of government facts and non-emergency services.
Seoul is no stranger to hosting big international events, obtaining been 1 of the host cities of the FIFA 2002 Globe Cup along with hosting the 1986 Asian Games. Many other government officials were also found to have benefitted from the crisis by means of rent hikes and land speculation. Nonetheless, this "youth revolt" did not stem from any raise in help for the conservative PPP candidates and policies.
According to OECD data, South Korea has the highest suicide price in the globe. The country has been rocked by a series of high-profile sexual assault and harassment allegations in current years, including against entertainment stars, sports coaches and a former leading prosecutor. Nearby time Saturday, far more than 344,000 men and women had signed a formal petition opposing Park's city funeral, which has been set for July 13.

John Hamilton began serving the residents of Bloomington as their mayor in January of 2016. Prior to that John served as a college board member for the Monroe County Community School Corporation, worked to pass the college referendum, and was a founding member of the Shalom Center and the Commission on Sustainability. Continue to perform with compact enterprises, associations, artists, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs to make Bloomington a excellent location to establish and develop as an employer. Creating engaging physical spaces, supporting wonderful events and experiences, nurturing sustainable practices, and enhancing a spirit of innovation and vitality are all portion of a powerful, wholesome financial future. Daniella Levine Cava was elected Miami-Dade County's very first-ever woman Mayor in November 2020.
As the mother of 3 young young children, she was concerned by the quite a few challenges facing Manchester's schools, and she ran for and won a seat on the Manchester College Board. She was then elected to the Manchester Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Mayor Gallego is the second elected female Mayor in Phoenix history and a single of the youngest major city Mayors in the United States. In November 2020, she was returned to office with the highest quantity of votes ever cast for a mayoral candidate in Phoenix.
These four troubles are very significant for cities around the world. Several men and women look at these issues as a national agenda, but I consider, in fact, cities have to play the crucial function in resolving these issues. For instance, about 80 % of international CO2 emissions come from cities. Half of them come from transportation and the other half from heating and air-conditioning of buildings and houses.
Candidates raise huge sums of money and spend it on marketing and voter get in touch with, and at the identical time strive for name recognition amongst voters, which is one of most significant factors of wining an election. Despite the fact that the breakdown of voting, primaries, length of residence and other things may well differ from national politics, standard campaigning is still very comparable. In most council-mayor systems, the voters straight vote for the mayor.

Kinaros ( ) ist eine griechische Insel der Gemeinde Leros in der Region Südliche Ägäis.

Lage
Kinaros gehört zu einer Gruppe sechs kleiner Inseln und einiger Felseninseln, die zwischen den Dodekanesinseln Leros und Kalymnos im Osten und der Kykladeninsel Amorgos im Westen liegen. Südlich liegt Astypalea. Neben Kinaros mit 4,577 km² besteht diese Inselgruppe aus Plaka im Westen, Glaros, den beiden Mavra-Inseln und Levitha im Osten.

Auf der Südseite der Insel befinden sich einige tiefe, fjordartige Buchten, die als natürliche Ankerplätze Schutz vor nördlichen Winden bieten. Die Westseite hat steile, unzugängliche Ufer. Die typischen Pflanzen der Macchia und Phrygana bestimmen das Landschaftsbild.

Geschichte
Bedingt durch die geographische Lage war Kinaros schon in der Antike ein wichtiger Ankerplatz für Schiffsreisen zwischen Kykladen und Dodekanes. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass sich auf der Insel eine kleine Siedlung befand. Gebäudereste konnten archäologisch nachgewiesen werden.

Kinaros heute
Nachdem die isoliert gelegene Insel 1960 von ihren Bewohnern verlassen wurde, war sie immer wieder kurzzeitig von Fischern bewohnt. Im Jahr 2000 siedelte sich ein älteres Paar wieder auf der Insel an. Die Bewohner betrieben zur Eigenversorgung etwas Landwirtschaft und hielten einige Ziegen. Zur Stromversorgung wurde eine Photovoltaikanlage installiert. Da es auf der Insel weder Festnetz- noch Mobiltelefonempfang gibt, wurden Bemühungen unternommen, einen Internetzugang über Satelliten einzurichten. 2013 starb der Mann, die Frau lebt als einzige Einwohnerin weiter auf der Insel. Allerdings wurde das Paar beim Zensus 2011 nicht dort registriert.

Kinaros ist von Amorgos oder Kalymnos mit Schnellbooten zu erreichen. In den Sommermonaten werden von Leros und von Egiali auf Amorgos Tagesausflüge angeboten. Die einzige Bewohnerin der Insel wird – außer ihrer Selbstversorgung – mit einem Fischerboot von Amorgos aus versorgt.

Naturschutz
Kinaros ist Teil des Natura-2000-Gebiets GR 4220012 Nordamorgos, Kinaros, Levitha, Mavria und Glaros (Βόρεια Αμοργός και Κύναρο, Λέβιθα, Μαυριά και Γλάρος), da es Vorkommen von Mönchsrobben, Kaspischen Bachschildkröten und Vierstreifennattern gibt und zugleich als Important Bird Area GR 163 Kinaros and Levitha Islands and rocky Islets (Κίναρος, Λέβιθα και βραχονησίδες) eingestuft, da die Inseln von Eleonorenfalken und Korallenmöwen als Nistplätze aufgesucht werden.

This is a park completely rethought and remodeled to serve as a case of the various villas, emphasize them while creating coherence between nature and built.
This park also joins in an ecological approach with the environmental protection in botanic species and in water consumption.
You will discover it quite the varieties of typically Mediterranean plants. Fitted out spaces and elaborated (around villas) skirt wilder spaces in a balance skillfully studies so that you can completely take advantage of it calmly.
It is 6 hectares of landscaping with 7 ships rehabilitated and integrated into the landscape to protect their intimacy from it and 3 completely renewed pools.
All the access road to villas (approximately 1,2km) were redrawn by a landscape painter and completely redone.
In the heart of the domain, a very attractive lake of a capacity of 9000m3 of water was cleaned to answer to the water requirements of the created arrangements.
The plants you will meet are there typically Mediterranean and sometimes endemic of the site. Wild clearing and brook skirt in a learned mixture maintained meadows, pine forest, fig trees, fields of lavender and a very remarkable field of 200 olive-trees.
For complete the set, a discovery route of more than 2,7km was fitted out through magnificent wild and protected places.
The domain is totally enclosed for a completely quiet.

Last pics of the hatchling.
I'm so glad to have seen one too Reg!
In my mind I imagined I would see all these hatchlings making their way to the lake !
June 16 @ 9am I watched this snapping turtle lay her eggs.
I was so disappointed when I saw that they had hatched sometime during the night on September 29th.

Murray Accuses Tsitsipas of Cheating in First Round Defeat
Andy Murray accused Stefanos Tsitsipas of cheating during their first round match at the US Open.
Tsitsipas took an eight-minute toilet break towards the end of his five-set victory.
"I lost respect for him," Murray said.
Three-time Grand Slam winner Andy Murray accused Stefanos Tsitsipas of cheating during their first-round thriller at the US Open, after the Greek star took an eight-minute toilet break.
Murray, who is ranked 112th in the world following several injury setbacks, was tied two sets apiece with Tsitsipas when the 23-year-old took the extended break.
"It's never taken me that long to go to the bathroom ever," an incensed Murray told match supervisor Gerry Armstrong.
He also accused his opponent, who had taken a number of other breaks during the match, of "cheating."
—Amazon Prime Video Sport (@primevideosport) August 30, 2021
After Tsitsipas went on to win the final set and book his place in the tournament's second round, Murray hit out at him again in his post-match press conference.
"It's not so much leaving the court. It's the amount of time," he said. "I spoke to my team before the match about it and said [we should] prepare for it if things were not going his way.
"The issue is that you cannot stop the way that that affects you physically. When you're playing a brutal match like that, stopping for seven [or] eight minutes, you do cool down."
He added: "It's just disappointing because I feel it influenced the outcome of the match. I'm not saying I necessarily win that match, for sure, but it had an influence on what was happening after those breaks.
"I rate him a lot. I think he's a brilliant player. I think he's great for the game. But I have zero time for that stuff at all, and I lost respect for him."
Asked about Murray's comments, world number three Tsitsipas said: "If there's something that he has to tell me, we should speak [just] the two of us to understand what went wrong.
"I don't think I broke any rules. I played by the guidelines, how everything is. I think it's clear that I took my clothes with me when I left the court.
"That's the amount of time it takes for me to change my clothes and to walk back to the court takes a little bit of time.
"I don't know how my opponent feels when I'm out there playing the match. It's not really my priority.
"As far as I'm playing by the rules and sticking to what the ATP says is fair, then the rest is fine."


The 3D Printer for which the Friends' Council approved funding in May has now arrived and is being put to use. The Collection Care department (CCD) has embarked on a project to develop a novel approach to the conservation, storage, display and safe handling of The National Archives (TNA) vast collection of wax seals. Many of these seals are fragile and/or broken. Past conservation treatments did not align with conservation ethics and therefore weren't being applied anymore, leaving TNA without a suitable conservation and preservation approach. CCD is evaluating the use of new materials for the consolidation and repair of degraded and damaged seals, but as these are three dimensional objects, TNA wanted to research the application of immerging cutting edge technologies like 3D scanning and 3D printing in this area of conservation.
Photo: 3D Printer, together with two sides of a printed seal.
Wax seals are ideal candidates for 3D printing and the technology will give TNA the opportunity to design innovative approaches to infills, reconstruction, support for storage and display solutions, and excellent public engagement activities. Seals can be printed using various colours, above showing an orange print medium.
Additionally, the Education and Outreach department is increasingly delivering workshops and events offsite, using facsimiles and digital images of originals from TNA collections.
The vast TNA collection of medieval seals and matrixes are fragile and although they can be viewed onsite, they are not handled by the learners. TNA would like to offer sessions using seals as they are wonderful sources for interpretation. Having the capacity to scan and print in 3D is the perfect solution in reproducing such artefacts in a safe and useable way, enhancing accessibility and adding interest and excitement to TNAs educational programmes, both onsite and offsite.

Dumbarton pupils' drive for Malawi school
The pupils are calling for donations of strips from local football teams.

Primary pupils are calling on football teams to donate strips to children taught at a Dumbarton-founded school in Malawi.
Youngsters at St Patrick's Primary School have been learning about a school founded by Dumbarton woman Margaret Mary Campbell in the East African country.
The Nora Docherty School is based in the village of Chiluzi, Dedza.
The P6 classes have been researching the country and creating presentations on the contrasts between Malawi and Scotland.
They also wrote letters to the pupils at the Nora Docherty School and have been holding a range of fundraising events.
As part of their project they called on Dumbarton and Alexandria football clubs for donations of football strips for ages 11 to 16 for the school's own football team.

Teachers Julie Anne McNeill and Marie McKeever are leading the project.
Julie Anne said: "The children have been loving it. Margaret Mary came to speak with them and I think her enthusiasm rubbed off on them.
"Being able to put what they are learning in context and write letters to the school has really helped."
The Nora Docherty School opened in 2007 with a roll of 750 pupils, eight classrooms and eight teachers.
The school was supported almost exclusively by Margaret Mary and her family, who named it after her mother Nora who died in 2005.
Nora Docherty School in Malawi
With the help of her husband and their families, Margaret has supported the development of the school ever since.
The school achieved charitable status in 2015 and the Nora Docherty Charitable Foundation was born.
The school now offers education at nursery, primary and secondary level and recently added a pre and post-natal clinic.
The current roll of the school is almost 2000 and the pupils are taught English, maths, Chichewa (the language of Malawi), sciences and arts and life skills.
There are 20 teachers and 10 classrooms.

Margaret Mary said: "Working with St Patrick's has been great. They have such an enthusiasm for the school.
"They have invited me along to the school and I always learn from them as well as them learning from me.
"It's great that the school are calling for football strips as our football team really need them.
"Our netball team were recently gifted new strips but our football team are in desperate need, especially for the older children aged 14 to 16.
"Because we are a Dumbarton charity it would be great to get some Dumbarton Football Club strips."

Foreign entrepreneurs who are interested to open a retail business in Thailand can take advantage of the country's strategic position in Asia, which is beneficial due to its geographic location as a gateway to the center of Asia, with convenient access to the dynamic markets of the area, as well as due to its own consumer market of around 67.9 million inhabitants.
Thailand is a shopping destination for tourists coming from all over the world, but it also has profitable trade with India, China and the countries which are members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
When opening a retail business in Thailand, it is good to know that the entire value of sales registered a better performance in 2015 compared to the previous year, due to the national political and economic factors which became more stable. Retail businesses developed new outlets in Bangkok as well as other non-urban areas. For grocery, fashion and sport items, there was a higher demand in stores, and when it came to non-grocery items like consumer electronics and appliances, there was a record sale.
The retail industry is expected to develop in variety in the following years, with new outlets increasing in numbers and new modern store layouts and formats to be opened to respond to the consumers' lifestyles. Local retailing will not only attempt to respond to local demand, but also to international tourists who are projected to subsidize greater value of sales, particularly for goods such as apparel, footwear, jewelry and bags. Our company formation professionals in Thailand can offer more information on the retail industry in the country.
Retail companies in the country owned by foreign citizens are regulated by the Foreign Business Act of 1999. According to the Act, if you are looking to open a retail business in Thailand, you must obtain the Foreign Business License, the business being defined as List Three of the Foreign Business Act. These Licenses are issued entirely by the Director-General of the Department of Business Development in Thailand under the Ministry of Commerce, with the approval of the Alien Business Operations Committee. If the permission is issued, the retail business can be owned 100% by the foreign investor and you can open the retail company in Thailand.
For more details about the retail industry in Thailand, as well as other business prospects and information, please get in touch with our Thai company formation advisors.

Taking up the controversial topic of repressed memories, this book presents seven cases from the author's own clinical experience of people whose lives changed forever when they reclaimed forgotten memories. Lenore Terr is the author of "Too Scared to Cry".
Unchained Memories Summary
Unchained Memories: True Stories of Traumatic Memories, Lost and Found by Leonore Terr
The debate rages in magazines and newspapers ranging from "Vanity Fair" to "The New Yorker", from "Mother Jones" to the "New York Times" - can a long-forgotten memory of a horrible event like murder or sexual abuse suddenly resurface years later? Proponents of so-called "false memory syndrome" say it's impossible. This book presents seven cases from the author's own clinical experience of people whose lives changed forever when they reclaimed forgotten memories. Her testimony as an expert witness sheds light on why it's rare for a reclaimed memory to be wholly false and why denial is so effective at blocking memories. Lenore Terr is the author of "Too Scared to Cry".

This short book introduces what I consider to be the most important principles for conducting any systematic philosophical inquiry. These are broken down into three sections: logic, physics, and person; or, the basic encounter with thought, with the world, and the nexus of thought and world.
I wrote this book to fill what I consider a need: that is, there are many introductions to the history of philosophy, or to the thought of certain philosophers, or to certain topics within philosophy, but there are not many introductions in philosophical thinking. That is, we tend to find books about the cultural phenomenon of philosophical thinking more than we find books which actually help us to think philosophically. While the former are fine ways into a philosophical life if one happens to be attending a university or college where there are professors and classes and classmates with which one can be immersed in the habit of questioning, they do less for those not enveloped in a life of liberal education.
This book is for those who either never received such a university education–either because they did not go or having gone, found no such environment–or who have left behind that environment and the habits it supported. This book is for thinking beyond academia.

Asia-Pacific HNWIs look for local wealth solutions, says Capgemini/RBC report
James Norris
Asia-Pacific offshore wealth centres, led by Hong Kong and Singapore, are attracting a growing share of the global wealth management business, as Asian-Pacific high net worth individuals (HNWI) increasingly seek out local solutions.
The HNWI population in the Asia-Pacific region, defined as clients with investable assets of US$1 million or more, has grown to 3.37 million in 2011. This makes the region home to the largest HNWI population in the world, says the Asia-Pacific Wealth Report 2012, published by Capgemini and RBC Wealth Management.
Asia Pacific HNWI population overtakes North America, says World Wealth Report
RBC Wealth Management, Capgemini launch World Wealth Report
RBC WM's Philip Harris spies opportunities in Asia-Pacific wealth growth
Edmond de Rothschild to scrap Hong Kong private banking biz
Singapore and Hong Kong, as the two main offshore financial centres of the region, have benefited most from this growth. The biggest driver for the growth of these offshore centres is the diversification of country risk prevalent in many markets in Asia-Pacific, the report says.
"These centers are attractive to Asia-Pacific HNWIs because of their proximity, cultural and linguistic alignment, proactive and transparent regulatory authorities, and the access they provide to investments in developing but highly regulated Asian markets such as India and China," says RBC Wealth Management in a press release.
George Lewis, group head, RBC Wealth Management, said: "Clients often prefer to invest in markets closer to home, making Singapore and Hong Kong naturally attractive centers for those in the Asia-Pacific region. However, HNWIs have a variety of locations around the globe where they can book their assets. While Singapore and Hong Kong have the advantage of proximity, their future growth as offshore wealth centres will be dependent on their ability to offer full service wealth management advice and service underpinned by a transparent and compliant regulatory environment."
Jean Lassignardie, corporate vice-president and head of sales and marketing, Capgemini Global Financial Services, said: "At present, the perceived benefits offered by Singapore overall slightly outweigh those of Hong Kong, but the authorities in Hong Kong are taking steps to bridge any gaps. Firms have a significant opportunity to leverage the benefits [that these] offshore centers offer HNWIs."
The report identifies a scarcity of skilled talent as the most pressing issue for firms operating in the region, highlighting that a shortage of experienced wealth managers could undermine the capability of firms to effectively serve large numbers of clients.
In order to thrive in Asia-Pacific offshore wealth centres, the report finds that wealth management firms will need to be deliberate in their decision-making about how best to establish and expand their presence in these markets. It will be important for firms to focus on and invest in several key areas, including advisory, legal and fiduciary expertise, product offerings, risk and compliance measures, and IT infrastructure.
At the same time, as wealth management firms plot a path to growth in Asia-Pacific offshore centers, they will need to leverage the strengths of the jurisdictions in which they are operating, while making sure not to compromise their own core competencies.
RBC Wealth Management has C$562bn of assets under administration, C$324bn of assets under management, as well as about 4,300 financial consultants, advisers, private bankers and trust officers.

Tannhäuser is an opera in three acts based on two German legends. That of Tannhäuser the legendary medieval German Minnesänger and poet, and that of the Wartburg Song Contest. The story centers on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love. 'Pilgrim's Chorus' from Act 1 scene 3 has the same theme as the Overture. Wagner later gave the opinion that perhaps it would be better to cut the overture at opera performances to the Pilgrim's Chorus alone.


For the Mail Gateway service, you can set limits for mail that is received and delivered. To help prevent against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, you can also set limits on the number of inbound and outbound connections.
In the left menu, select Limits.
To limit the size of mail data (attachments), select yes. In the Mail Data Size (MB) field, enter the maximum size for mail data.
The maximum size of mail data in MB (default: 20). If the mail size exceeds this limit, the mail gateway refuses delivery and sends an error message to the sender.
This setting reflects the actual mail body size because SMTP applies transfer encoding. The actual mail size may be greater than the physical size of the attachment. For example, if you add an attachment that is about 5 MB, the total mail size can be up to about 6.5 MB.
DSN for Max Data Size Excess If you want the mail gateway to create an extended Delivery Status Notification (DSN) message when an email has exceeded the maximum allowed size that is specified by the Mail Data Size (MB) setting, select yes.
Maximum Number of Recipients The maximum number of recipients of mail. Because RFC2821 requires at least 100 possible recipients of mail, you cannot enter a limit that is lower than 100 (default: 200).
If you want the mail gateway to create an extended DSN when an email has been forwarded to more recipients than the limit specified by the Maximum Number of Recipients setting, select yes.
By default, the SMTP server accepts all incoming emails. To reject emails with empty sender information, select yes.
Domain names may only contain the following characters: [-.0-9A-Za-z]. From the Accept Loose Domain Name list, select one of the following options to specify if domain names are checked for incorrect syntax.
no – Domain names are checked. Emails are rejected if their domain names use incorrect syntax.
yes – Domain names are not checked. Emails with domain names that use incorrect syntax are delivered.
The maximum number of to-be-scanned attachments per MIME email.
To drop emails that contain more attachments than the limit specified by the Max. Attachments setting, select yes.
To reject malformed and damaged emails, select yes.
The maximum number of days that emails can stay in the 'crashed' directory.
The maximum number of characters per line. Barracuda Networks recommends that you use the RFC maximum limit of 1000 characters.
The maximum number of From: headers. Default: 20.
The maximum number of header lines. Default: 100.
The maximum number of parallel TCP connections from a single inbound or outbound source IP address (default: 25). This provides effective protection against DoS attacks.
These values must not be 0.
The number of maximum parallel connections per peer may not be greater than the maximum number of parallel connections.
To generate the Resource Limit Exceeded: Max connections (per Peer)  event when the limit values are exceeded, select yes from the Parallel Connection Limit list in the mail gateway reporting settings. For more information, see How to Configure Mail Gateway Reporting.

Cinematography is not a competition, nor is it a beauty contest, so boiling the years best work down to a simple ranking wasn't an easy task. Often, the awards-season narrative for below-the-line talent is scale and the most obvious use of craft; here, the focus is how form can be used to elicit emotion and tell a story. These are 10 films that do that exceeding well. Afterwards a few additional prizes focused on films that opened doors and pointed to an exciting future of what is possible in the world of cinematography.

St. Patrick's Cathedral
Other Highlights
Dublin is a classical European city with a large number of small, old buildings. Dominating the city is the Guinness brewery and the large number of small restaurants.
Shopping is concentrated in the city around O'Connell and Grafton Streets. Nassau Street is for the well-to-do.
Temple Bar is a good place to wander about with it's many small boutique- style stores and many trendy bars and restaurants. As with any area of this type it is good to keep an eye on your belongings.
(Official Site https://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en) The single most popular tourist attraction in Dublin, the tour of the storehouse includes a sample of Guinness to boot! Located a short distance west of the town centre the Guinness Storeroom attraction has an admission charge. Evidently, there are no non-alcoholic options available so teetotallers take note.
(Official Site https://www.tcd.ie/) The Book of Kells is the highlight of this old college in the heart of the city. Regular tours are run by current or former students dressed in the robes of Trinity students (see https://www.tcd.ie/visitors/tours/ for details). Tours include entrance to the Book of Kells exhibit which is often crowded so be prepared to queue, though, in my experience, the queue does move quite quickly (it can be cramped inside, however). The Kells exhibit ends in the "Old Library" which is spectacular looking like something straight out of Harry Potter and containing some important pieces of Irish history.
(Official Site https://www.stpatrickscathedral.ie/) The biggest of the two cathedrals in Dublin best known for where Johnathan Swift (famous author of such books including Gulliver's Travels) was a priest but also as the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. Beside the cathedral there is a small, formal garden park that can be crowded but is a precious bit of green space in the city. There is a small admission charge for visitors to the cathedral (entrance is through the door on the north side).
A few other places to visit around the city:
Christ Church Cathedral - Not as impressive as St. Patrick's but still not too bad (an interesting walk through the undercroft as well)
Dublin Castle - Not so much a castle as an administrative centre of the city. You can pay an entrance fee to visit the old castle at the back of the complex away from Dame Street behind City Hall.
Dublinia - Opposite Christ Church cathedral, "Dublinia" is an attraction that shows the history of Dublin including it's Viking heritage. A bit touristy and great for kids but interesting nonetheless. There is an entrance fee.
Glasnevin Museum - Oddly, this old cemetery a short distance to the north of the city centre has an interesting and modern museum.
Transportation is good, with parking VERY scarce in the centre of the city itself. If driving, it is a good idea to park at one of the DART (Dublin Area Regional Transit – train) stations and take the train into the city. Inside the city, there are numerous city buses and trains (including light rail). For tourists thare are a number of "hop on, hop off" tour companies operating in the city (see Dublin City Bus Tours for one such company with good service).
We found using the "Leap" card an easy to use option which is card that can be used on all public transport in Dublin (tap on/tap off) and can be topped up as and when required (a deposit is required but this is refunded on return of the card). There are options for unlimited travel for 1, 3 or 7 days. Cards can be purchased at many locations throughout the city including newsagents and corner stores (as well as at the bus and travel information desk at the airport). See https://about.leapcard.ie/ for details.

Mit ´´Porosität´´ benannten Walter Benjamin und Asja Lacis einst Neapels Eigenschaften: Räume gehen ineinander über, bieten Spielräume für Unvorhergesehenes, Improvisation ist Alltag. Heute wird der Begriff Porosität mit Bezug auf diesen Kontext zunehmend konzeptionell verwendet. Renommierte Autoren aus Architektur, Stadtplanung und Landschaftsarchitektur begeben sich auf die Suche nach neuen Konzepten für eine lebenswerte, menschenfreundliche Stadt - im Zeichen dieses schillernden Begriffs. Er dreht sich um die Überlagerung und Mischung von Räumen und Strukturen, um städtische Texturen und ihre architektonischen Eigenschaften und Qualitäten: um die Stadt der radikalen Durchmischung.
This volume is an unprecedented history of Louis Vuitton´s women´s bags, the most coveted line of accessories in women´s fashion. At the heart of Louis Vuitton are its City Bags, a range of women´s bags that dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring the trademark monograms of the house, the City Bag story began with the Steamer, a resort bag designed in 1901 to be packed inside a much larger steamer trunk. These bags have in a hundred years formally diversified into a dizzying array of handbags for every conceivable function demanded by the modern woman. Profoundly influential, City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Bucket, Papillon, Alma, Locket, Noe, Speedy) and are still evolving into more fantastical forms. Lavishly illustrated with new and archival photography, historical graphics, landmark editorials, and ad campaigns, the volume traces the history of these specific bag families, and examines the earliest specimens and today´s most sought-after collectibles, including Vuitton´s collaborations with Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, and Rei Kawakubo and one-off projects by Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, Andrée Putman, and of course, Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton: City Bags is an ambitious volume on the creation and cultivation of a cultural phenomenon.
John Marciari tells the story of the monuments, artists and patrons of Renaissance Rome in this compelling book. In no other city is the ancient world so palpably present, and nowhere else is the mission of the church so evident. At the same time as the humanists sought to preserve and recreate the ancient city, giving it a new lease of life, the popes dispensed patronage much as any other contemporary Italian ruler. Rome was also the most international of the Renaissance cities with artists and architects generally training elsewhere before arriving in the city and introducing new trends. By adopting a chronological structure, covering the period c.1300-1600, Marciari is able to explore the nature of Roman patronage as it differed from papacy to papacy. He examines the city´s extraordinary works of art in the context of the working practices, competition and rivalries that made Renaissance Rome so magnificent.

Oxyrhynchus is a city in upper Egypt that was established in 332 BC and is considered one of the most important archaeological sites ever discovered. Saville references the layer upon layer of discoveries at Oxyrhynchus in her new body of work, the final effect being a mysterious narrative of layered bodies and images. The dozen new works presented are a combination of oil, charcoal, and pastel on canvas and a combination of landscape and figures weaving throughout each other.
The New York Times bestseller ´´[An] obscenely enjoyable romp.´´ -The New York Times Book Review The untold story of a New York City legend´s education in creativity and style For Bill Cunningham, New York City was the land of freedom, glamour, and, above all, style. Growing up in a lace-curtain Irish suburb of Boston, secretly trying on his sister´s dresses and spending his evenings after school in the city´s chicest boutiques, Bill dreamed of a life dedicated to fashion. But his desires were a source of shame for his family, and after dropping out of Harvard, he had to fight them tooth-and-nail to pursue his love. When he arrived in New York, he reveled in people-watching. He spent his nights at opera openings and gate-crashing extravagant balls, where he would take note of the styles, new and old, watching how the gowns moved, how the jewels hung, how the hair laid on each head. This was his education, and the birth of the democratic and exuberant taste that he came to be famous for as a photographer for The New York Times. After two style mavens took Bill under their wing, his creativity thrived and he made a name for himself as a designer. Taking on the alias William J.--because designing under his family´s name would have been a disgrace to his parents--Bill became one of the era´s most outlandish and celebrated hat designers, catering to movie stars, heiresses, and artists alike. Bill´s mission was to bring happiness to the world by making women an inspiration to themselves and everyone who saw them. These were halcyon days when fashion was all he ate and drank. When he was broke and hungry he´d stroll past the store windows on Fifth Avenue and feed himself on beautiful things. Fashion Climbing is the story of a young man striving to be the person he was born to be: a true original. But although he was one of the city´s most recognized and treasured figures, Bill was also one of its most guarded. Written with his infectious joy and one-of-a-kind voice, this memoir was polished, neatly typewritten, and safely stored away in his lifetime. He held off on sharing it--and himself--until his passing. Between these covers, is an education in style, an effervescent tale of a bohemian world as it once was, and a final gift to the readers of one of New York´s great characters.
