Q: How view the navigation path in the master page? I have a splitapp application with two cols.
On the left I have a tree that i can navigate level by level.
I want indicate to user the current position in the menu tree by a path.. now I use this trick: insert a button to show the current path

but i don't like this solution. Any suggestions?
P.S. The path could also be very long and I can't see it in the detail page because the content of the detail page could not always sync with the master page.

A: This really sounds like a breadcrumb. If the path becomes too long you could limit it to show the two latest dives within the object hierachy which would be like ... > Product A > Info D. The individual links can be used for back navigation. From technical perspective the path can be obtained from the binding context.
And this is how it could look like as shown in the SAPUI5 Explored:

Born on September 16th, 1958 in the city of Berkeley, young Rodney was drawn to music when he was three. He started piano lessons at six years old when he attended the Washington Elementary School. The school's principal was a man called Herb Wong, who, when he wasn't teaching music, was a noted US jazz journalist and radio DJ. Given his close connection with the jazz world, Wong often invited professional musicians to play in school assemblies. It was on one of these occasions that young Rodney Franklin got a chance to sit next to jazz great, pianist Oscar Peterson, and watch him play. It was a moment that changed his life.
"Learning To Love" released in 1982 kicks off with the singles 'Enuff Is Enuff' and 'That's The Way I Feel 'Bout Your Love'. The second album contained on Disc One is "Marathon", which features the single 'Stay On In The Groove'.
Disc Two features the albums "Skydance" and "It Takes Two". The stand-out tracks are 'Look What's Showing Through' and Rodney's interpretation of Mr. Mister's 'Broken Wings'. "Skydance" was produced by Paul Buckmaster whose production credits include Elton John, David Bowie & The Rolling Stones to name but a few.
The package also features sleeve notes by Charles Waring who contributes to both MOJO and Record Collector magazines.

Fan Centered Football
If the pass was thrown for 98 yards and received in the end zone but no one saw it, would it be a touchdown? If you had a stadium with highly trained players, referees, equipment and played all 4 quarters, but no one was in the stands, would it be a real game? Although fans are not required by any sort of rule it is an unwritten understanding that the game, its players and its paradigm exist for one and only one person: the fan. Understanding football as a fan based sport, the National Football League has done a series of innovative decision-making to help attract more fans and sustain the game.
In 1974 when Monday night football became all the rage, one thing was certain – more fans than ever were watching football. After the initial craze started by Monday night games began to show lackluster ratings, the head office began to ask what was wrong. The games seemed slow to fans and sometimes unintelligible. Too many games were built on defense, running games and complicated plays on the field that netted a steady flow of small yardage, but no big plays. In order to combat the slow-moving side of football, The NFL rushing ushered in innovative rule changes which favored passing, limited timeouts and time between plays and sped up the game. This use of structure to influence speed kept fans watching TV and filling the seats.
The NFL is one of the few sports franchises that has no Canadian or international teams. The reason for that is the Canadian Football League is already a productive entity of its own and requires no American counterpart in their country. However, the NFL is also one of the first franchises branching out into the global economy by playing exhibition games and other cities in the world. From 1986 foreword, exhibition games called the "American Bowls" have been played in London, Berlin, Tokyo and Barcelona. These games help gain an international reputation for football, while satellite television can broadcast American games all over the world. This endears football to an entirely new population of people.
International seasonal games
While the exhibition games have wrought the ability to enjoy American football around the world, one of the points people complain about is the games aren't very hard fought. Professional football players are rarely willing to go the extra mile or put a lot of effort into an exhibition game. Who wants to lose a lucrative career simply because you pull a hamstring of pop your knee out of place for a game that doesn't even count for the regular-season? In order to show football as it really is meant to be played, the NFL has sanctioned the first game for regular season play to occur internationally at London's Wembley Stadium in 2007. The game has already sold out, and appears to be a bright prospect for future regular-season NFL games abroad.
The National Football League should be commended for its innovative ideas that help make the fan and their expectations the center of the game.

Although entrepreneurship is crucial to a capitalist economy, little information is available about U.S. businesses in their first years of operation. As part of an effort to gather more data on new businesses in the United States, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation sponsored the Kauffman Firm Survey (KFS), a panel study of businesses founded in 2004 and tracked over their first years of operation. The Foundation contracted with Mathematica Policy Research (MPR) to conduct the KFS, which collects data about the nature of new business formation; characteristics of the strategy, offerings, and employment patterns; the nature of the financial and organizational arrangements of these businesses; and the characteristics of their founders. With the completion of the Second Follow-Up, the KFS has collected this information from the panel for three years, providing a unique look at business dynamics over this formative period.

În mitologia greacă, Electryon (greacă: Ηλεκτρύωνας) a fost fiul lui Perseu și al Andromedei, rege în Micene și Tirint.

Mitologie
El s-a căsătorit fie cu nepoata sa, Anaxo, fiica fratelui său Alceu, fie cu Euridice, fiica lui Pelops. Soția sa i-a dăruit mai mulți copii: Alcmena (mama lui Heracle), Stratobates, Gorgophonus, Phylomonus, Celaeneus, Amphimachus, Lysinomus, Chirimachus, Anactor și Archelaus. Electrion a mai avut un fiu cu Midea, Lycimnius. Când fiii regelui telebo4nilor, Ptereolaos, au venit la Micene ca să-și ia partea de moștenire (descindeau din fratele lui Electrion, Mestor), fiii lui Electryon au pornit să își apere cetatea, dar în afară de Lycimnius, toți au murit. Teleboii au furat astfel turmele regelui micenian.

Electryon și-a dat fiica, Alcmena, de soție, aceluia care îi va înapoia turmele furate. Acesta fu Amfitrion, nepotul de frate al lui Electryon, care printr-un vicleșug îi înapoie turmele. Însă în timpul nunții, Amfitrion l-a ucis din greșeală (sau intenționat) pe socrul său. Fratele lui Electryon, Sthenelos, l-a răzbunat pe fratele său exilându-l pe ucigaș.

About Marie Cartier
The Bookkimberly2020-04-28T03:28:31+00:00
Baby, You Are My Religion argues that American butch-femme bar culture of the mid-20th Century should be interpreted as a sacred space for its community. Before Stonewall―when homosexuals were still deemed mentally ill―these bars were the only place where many could have any community at all. Baby, You are My Religion explores this community as a site of a lived corporeal theology and political space. It reveals that religious institutions such as the Metropolitan Community Church were founded in such bars, that traditional and non-traditional religious activities took place there, and that religious ceremonies such as marriage were often conducted within the bars by staff. Baby, You are My Religion examines how these bars became not only ecclesiastical sites but also provided the fertile ground for the birth of the struggle for gay and lesbian civil rights before Stonewall.
"In this history of LGBT oppression in America from the 1940s to the 1980s, Marie Cartier does much more than remind us that before the 1969 Stonewall riots, the gay bar was the only social space that allowed lesbians to be themselves. She makes a compelling case that it was also a space where theology was done."

You are here: Home › Is Obama Intentionally endangering the USA with weak Foreign Policy?
Is Obama Intentionally endangering the USA with weak Foreign Policy?
By Shoebat Foundation on March 26, 2014 in General
When pundits and politicians are asked to explain Barack Obama's inaction on matters such as the aggression of Russia's Vladimir Putin, their frustration is visible as they point to an impossible level of fecklessness. What none of them fail to consider is that it's all intentional. Their refusal to consider that option may be causing them to underestimate the president.
While in The Hague, Netherlands for the nuclear summit, U.S. President Obama gave an extremely bizarre answer to a question about Russia's rising influence as a result of its actions in Ukraine. Obama said that Russia's annexation of Crimea "indicates less influence, not more" on the part of Russia. He then went on to say that he doesn't believe Russia poses the "number one security threat to the United States", though implicit in that assertion is that Russia does pose a threat.
Watch as Obama tells us what he believes the greatest threat to U.S. security is:
There you have it; the threat of a nuclear bomb detonating in Manhattan is the number one security threat to the U.S. according to President Obama. This leads us to an interesting read by Richard Falkenrath at the New York Daily News (h/t WZ). Falkenrath is the former deputy commissioner of counterterrorism at the NYPD and says the Obama administration has "again proposed to slash the budget for the one initiative designed to protect Manhattan from nuclear threats".
All this begs a very logical question. If Obama sees a nuclear bomb going off in Manhattan as the biggest national security threat to the U.S., why would his administration intentionally cut back on protection against such an attack? Putting this into the context of a pattern, wouldn't it also be logical to conclude that if Russia is a threat to the U.S. – as Obama acknowledged – that his administration might not do all it can to neutralize that threat?
Richard Falkenrath
Talk show host Ben Barrack has been insisting that political leaders and pundits are refusing to allow themselves to consider a very dangerous possibility when it comes to Obama. "To underestimate Obama is to view him as incompetent, weak, and naive," Barrack said. "What if he's none of those things? His time being mentored by Soviet Stalinist Frank Marshall Davis means that he was likely marinated in Soviet propaganda techniques and may be in solidarity with Putin more than anyone wishes to admit".
Two years ago this week, at another nuclear summit – in Seoul, South Korea – Obama asked then Russian President Dmitri Medvedev for "space" until "after my election", at which point Obama would have "more flexibility". The question about what that meant has still not been sufficiently answered but if it meant Obama would stand down when Putin decided to invade countries, it's a perfect-fitting puzzle piece:
Pundits like the highly intellectual Charles Krauthammer and Col. Ralph Peters continue to operate from the premise that Obama is hopelessly weak instead of intentionally so.
Barrack insists that Obama's inaction relative to Russia is likely more deliberate than about weakness. "Obama knows what he's doing," he said. "You don't get to the position of President of the United States by being as incompetent as he'd like us to believe."
Freedom-loving Americans are opponents of Barack Obama; he has made that very clear. As such, overestimating him carries much less risk than underestimating him, which is exactly what happens when pundits and politicians operate from the premise that he is incompetent. Nearly four years ago, at the Heritage Foundation, an audience member asked then House Minority Whip, Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) what would qualify Obama for 'domestic enemy' status. Cantor laughed off the question:
If Obama is a domestic enemy, it is the duty of every member of the U.S. Congress to deal with it according to the Constitution, which they took an oath to defend "…against all enemies, both foreign…"
You know the rest.

This report examines the evidence for the potential of apps to promote positive health behavioural change in the UK population.
This report identifies several health apps that have been proven to reduce unhealthy behaviours such as excessive alcohol consumption and increase positive health behaviours such as a healthy diet and physical exercise. If these positive health behaviours are continued across large population groups, this could have a positive impact on non-communicable disease prevalence rates.
Best practice apps include Gray Matters, that has been shown to improve health behaviours that can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's in older adults, and Step Away, that has been shown to effectively reduce heavy alcohol consumption.
760,000 'living fast, dying young' who are under 40 and smoke, drink frequently, have a smartphone and regularly use the internet.
5.7 million people who 'just need a push' and who eat healthy and don't smoke, but drink moderately and rarely exercise.
These population groups, if able to easily access clinically effective health apps, could improve their health and provide much needed cost savings for the NHS. However, there are considerable barriers that are preventing health apps reaching their full potential. The proliferation of digital technology means that the best-practice, effective health apps are often being drowned out by poor-quality, ineffective apps. Accreditation is needed to distinguish effective apps from ineffective apps.
Sally-Marie Bamford, Director of Research and Strategy at ILC-UK, said: "Healthcare technology is progress. In ten years times we'll be talking about how technology has transformed health. Health apps are of particular promise to support the NHS due to the democratising effect of the smart phone. However, there are challenges in how current apps are monitored. Evidence demonstrates that consumers want guidance to discern which health apps are relevant to them. What we really want is clarity and personalisation, particularly as tech becomes so ubiquitous.

EMS worker faces theft charges after allegedly lying about having cancer
By: Melissa Hudson Facebook | Twitter
Posted: May 9, 2016 1:23 PM EST | Updated: May 9, 2016 9:23 PM EST
A Mishawaka Fire EMS employee has been arrested on two counts of theft after allegedly admitting to lying about having cancer in order to get money from friends and coworkers.
A Mishawaka Police Officer stated Sammy Young Jr approached him in October 2015 and asked to borrow $1,000.
Young had no comment for ABC 57 at his arraignment Monday, but Mishawaka Fire says he is suspended without pay.
Young allegedly said he had cancer and needed treatments his insurance wouldn't cover, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The officer told investigators he loaned Young the money.
Over the next few months Young would arrange to meet the officer to pay the money back, but then would reschedule, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The officer eventually learned Young did not have cancer and told Young he knew he had lied, reports said.
On March 28, Young provided the officer with a $1,000 check, but told him to wait until the 30th to cash the check.
On March 30, Young allegedly called the officer and told him not to cash the check because there was no money in the account.
South Bend Police then began investigating the Mishawaka officer's report and discovered Young did this to other people, according to court documents.
One of Young's coworkers said in March 2016, Young said he needed $800 to pay rent, so the co-worker gave him a check for $800, but wanted repayment by March 20.
When the coworker deposited Young's repayment check, it was returned for insufficient funds.
Investigators spoke with Young on April 26 and he allegedly admitted he did not have cancer, was not undergoing treatment and wrote a bad check to his coworker.
He also allegedly admitted to lying to other police and fire employees about having cancer to get money from them. Those allegations are still under investigation.
Young was arrested and charged with two counts of theft.
His case has been assigned to Judge Hurley, and he told the court he plans to appoint an attorney.
Young's next court date is set for May 16.

Explore MITRE's vision for a safer, more secure future in space.
As a convener of federal, private, and academic space sector stakeholders, MITRE is supporting U.S. leadership as the trillion dollar space economy rapidly grows.
Bringing an Innovative, Interdisciplinary Approach to an Increasingly Complex National Airspace
Pioneering together with other stakeholders, MITRE has been involved for decades in the development of the National Airspace System (NAS). The NAS is a complex operational environment with a wide range of users. From commercial, defense, and general aviation to space vehicles in many forms—everyone wants a piece of the sky and the realms beyond.
Moreover, the size of the commercial drone fleet is skyrocketing. By 2021, experts estimate, there could be as many as 1.6 million transiting the NAS.
It's no wonder that NASA projects daily flight demand for the various levels of airspace will grow from 55,000 in 2020 to more than 2.5 million by 2025. Besides the congestion, the rapid increase in space operations creates greater opportunity for miscoordination incidents between aircraft and space vehicles.
The United States government must meet this growing demand for access to space, while ensuring the safe and efficient operation of all types of aviation and aeronautics. It will take systems thinking and an end-to-end process that involves all key parties.
By building on our unique vantage point working across the whole of government and with industry, MITRE is collaborating with the space and aviation communities to develop a surface-to-space architecture. This functional map will ensure effective coordination at every mission stage: from pre-launch through atmospheric transit, to low earth orbit and payload deployment, to on-orbit maneuvering and space traffic management, and return to Earth.
MITRE's Surface to Space (S2S) testbed is a collaborative tool designed to explore and meet these challenges. The testbed enables fast, flexible, and agile modeling, simulation, and data analysis so space operators can make data-driven decisions.
In partnership with the aerospace community, we offer a broad suite of expertise, data, models, and tools. The S2S testbed brings them together to enable more comprehensive experiments and assessments than individual organizations can do alone.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to all segments of aerospace operations cannot be adequately measured or forecast at this point. Establishing strategies and pathways back to normalcy are being developed across the aerospace spectrum. We reference pre-pandemic forecasts above.

+What is the definition of "Surface to Space"?
Surface to Space (S2S) involves all operations in the air, from the surface of the earth up to the Kármán Line (100 kilometers or 62 miles above sea level).
It includes traditional aviation, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), space operations, balloons, military flights, and others. S2S also includes the portion of these operations that takes place on the ground and sea.
Additionally, S2S includes supporting elements within the National Airspace System (NAS)—the airspace structures, standards, procedures, automation, communication, navigation and surveillance that make today's NAS work properly.
+What is Space Situational Awareness?
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is the ability to accurately characterize the space environment and identify all artificial objects in Earth's orbit and activities in space.
Currently, we lack complete knowledge of objects in orbit, and active satellites have little provisioning or requirement to report and update their locations. Detecting where they are and predicting where they will be at any given time requires collaboration. Civil SSA combines positional information on the trajectory of objects in orbit (using optical telescopes and radars primarily) with information on space weather. Military and national security SSA also include characterizing objects in space, including their capabilities and potential threats.
+How are decisions made to coordinate and prioritize the shared use of airspace between U.S. airlines and U.S. aerospace companies?
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a well-established system for prioritizing air operations. The FAA grants priority on a first-come-first-served basis whenever and wherever possible, followed by increasing levels of strategic and tactical actions commensurate with the situation's importance.
+What will it take to establish a global set of standards—including which data to use and share—that clearly lays out the right of way for safer and more efficient S2S operations?
Establishing a global set of standards will ensure safer and more efficient operations for an S2S right of way. Getting there will require international interagency participation for governance structures and national responsibilities for all maritime, civil, private, commercial, and military vehicles.
+How is MITRE addressing the need for a S2S architecture?
The S2S testbed that will allow the aerospace community to work together on problems of all sizes, in the near and far term, to balance the needs of aviation and space participants both domestically and internationally.
Because MITRE serves as an independent convener that offers objective insight, the testbed will allow the community to craft solutions to the obstacles hindering advancements in space or aviation, while maintaining the efficiency of our nation's aerospace environment.
+What questions might be addressed in MITRE's Surface to Space (S2S) testbed?
An example of questions that can be addressed in the S2S testbed include:
Airspace flexibility is highly desired wherever possible, but where and when is structured airspace needed?
What is the optimum airspace design for all altitude strata that, while it's changing dynamically, still provides maximum flexibility for all users?
If airspace design implementation evolves in stages from legacy structures to a new paradigm, what elements should be addressed first?
How will future operations, industry advancements, and expected volumes drive changes in controller and traffic flow management tools?
Since a large portion of all space launch and reentry activity takes place over water, what are the specific impacts to maritime traffic—from freighters to sport fishermen—when space launches or reentries are scheduled, activated, delayed, scrubbed or involve malfunctions?
What effective business models can be developed for all transportation segments during space activities?

Breaches leave part of A1A in southern St. Johns County closed
Bulldozers scoot sand from roadway as strong winds, rough water batter coastline
Published: November 9, 2022, 11:46 AM Updated: November 9, 2022, 6:17 PM
In southern St. Johns County, people were bracing Wednesday for possible flooding along the coast as Nicole headed toward Florida.
Breaches have also left part of A1A closed at Marineland at the St. Johns-Flagler County line after high tide brought water into the roadway Wednesday morning. The flooding left a sludge sand behind on the roadway.
Officials have been blocking off the road since News4JAX got to the area in the morning. Bulldozers could be seen scooting sand from the road as strong winds and rough water battered the coastline.
North A1A at the Countyline - St. Johns and Flagler County is CLOSED. Please use alternative routes. Debris and ocean breach on the roadway. #nicole #roadclosure #a1a #update pic.twitter.com/AvdTyO8NjD
— Flagler County Emergency Management (@FlaglerEOC) November 9, 2022
At some points Wednesday, A1A has been closed all the way up to Summer Haven. The Intracoastal Waterway also crept into people's driveways, up tributaries, and in some places, onto the road.
According to St. Johns County officials, the next high tide around 8:45 p.m. could bring flooding worse than was seen in the morning.
At Henry Green's parents' house at Crescent Beach, the water came a few inches into the garage around high tide.
"Water is our biggest concern," Green said. "I don't think this is a wind event...the wind doesn't really worry me as much."
Even close to low tide around 2 p.m., standing water gathered in some Crescent Beach streets.
St. Johns County issued a voluntary evacuation notice for its coastal areas effective at 7 a.m. Wednesday. Green said he and his family are going to wait and see what happens.
"If the tide gets really high tonight, we'll be out of here," Green said.
The county is advising those who live in RVs, mobile homes, manufactured houses and boats throughout the county to evacuate.

At the Crescent Beach Plaza, shopkeepers were preparing for Nicole with sandbags at their stoops. Patrick Guido owns the building.
"We got a little bit of water with Ian on this side of the building, so, you know, hopefully, these sandbags help a little bit," Guido said.
He said he hopes this is the last storm he's got to prepare for this season.
Two shelters opened here in St. Johns County for residents:
Health and Human Services Department (Special medical needs) at 200 San Sebastian View in St. Augustine
Solomon Calhoun Community Center (General population and pet-friendly) at 1300 Duval Street in St. Augustine
In the meantime, officials are urging people not to drive on flooded roads and to be mindful of their wake if they do.
As of around 6 p.m., A1A at Marineland was back open.
This is what it's looking like in some of Flagler County's coastal areas as Tropical Storm Nicole approaches...

Is It Time to Tumble?
In school, I was one of those kids who cut classes to hide in bathrooms and smoke cigarettes. I've always had a hard time sticking to schedules and following rules. I grow bored. And when I do, I ramble.
It's why I haven't blogged or posted many updates on Facebook—I burned out. So I've been spending more time on Twitter and exploring other social media sites.
In my wandering, I discovered Tumblr. And I think many of you would enjoy it, too. Click here to read an interview on why I love to tumble. It won't explain why I'm prone to disappear.
But I'm happy to report—I no longer smoke in bathrooms.

LOL. Loved your last sentence. It made me chuckle.
Thanks, Carolyn. Tumblr is like a mini-blog. It would be a great place for you to share your passion for camping and vintage campers. I would love to read a blog like that, especially if it's by you.
I tumble too! Though usually only as a direct feed from my WordPress activities. But I'm getting growing subscription numbers to my main blogs from there. Good to hear that you were a bad girl – and sometimes still are.
Hey, Roz, I come from a long line of bad. 🙂 I'd love to find you on Tumblr. My plan is to keep the people I follow to a manageable number. That way I can keep up and not miss posts the way I do on Twitter. And I love the visuals on Tumblr and the control over the look of my page. It's fun and creative. But I still have lots to learn.
I like your interview, Darrelyn. I sort of get Tumblr, kind of like a cross between my Pinterest and my blog, but it seems to have a learning curve for me that I'm not ready for. I enjoyed visiting your site!
I agree, Richard. You are way too busy with a forthcoming memoir. It takes a bit of time to figure things out. I have a strong feeling things won't be slowing down for you any time soon. In fact, I hope you have a book event next year in NOLA. I'll be there if you do.
Thanks, Dave. Your poems would look gorgeous on Tumblr. And I'd love to see Jenni's photos over there, too.
See, I broke one rule in 8th grade, got ratted out, and never broke another one. I missed all the fun. Your photos are wonderful! And thanks for sharing my blog post : ) I enjoyed reading your interview. The simplicity of Tumblr is particularly appealing. I signed up, and one of these days when I have a few hours, I'm going to get started.
I thought about you when I first explored Tumblr, Cynthia. And I was thrilled to come home from a few days at the beach to find your first post over there. I really think you're going to enjoy tumbling. It's not as time-consuming as other social media sites. People can like or reblog your posts, and your inbox doesn't explode.

Remembering: Archie Shepp interview, 40 Years on from Attica Blues
Jim F — August 21, 2013
Let's get the background out of the way first. Archie Shepp is a jazz legend. Maybe not one of the big names of jazz, but a browse of the mans discography shows this guy could, and did, mix it with the very best. Born in 1937, his early collaborations included work with Don Cherry, legendary avant-garde pianist Cecil Taylor, and Ornette Coleman. His greatest champion though, was John Coltrane, first encouraging Impulse! to sign him to their roster, and then playing on two of Trane's greatest records, A Love Supreme (none of Shepp's cuts made it to the final record, although are included on the cd reissue) and Ascension. From there, Coltrane gave Archie Shepp his greatest gift, a split record, one artist on each side, titled New Thing at Newport. He played with the great and the good of jazz, from appearing with the Sun Ra Arkestra to working with Yusef Lateef, to inviting himself onstage with the Miles Davis quartet, much to the bandleaders annoyance.
Still working all these years later, he resides between the USA and France, and his body of work shows he was just as adept at working within the realms of bop, free-jazz and afro-centric styles. But, when I was given the opportunity to speak to the man on the phone to his European base, it was his 1971 social commentary Attica Blues, which is this year celebrating its 40th anniversary that we spoke about.
The Attica prison riot, which inspired the album, also took place in 1971. Following the shooting dead of a black prisoner, George Jackson the (black majority) inmates rioted, took the prison and made demands for better conditions and an amnesty in relation to the taking of the prison. This was refused and the state police took back control of the prison. By the time order had been resumed, 39 people were dead. Many black commentators, Shepp included were suspicious of the amount of black deaths in the siezing back of control, with an uneasy feeling that there was an element of state sponsored murder about it.
Given all this, I was basically a nervous wreck when I spend a good 40 minutes in his company, over the phone to his base (he spends part of the year there) in Paris. So nervous in fact, that despite me talking to him towards the end of May, I made the recording virtually undecipherable and have spent the last three months trying to sort out what we'd actually been talking about. But (eventually) I managed it. I began by asking him about a recent (successful) Kickstarter campaign, that has raised money for Shepp to remake his Attica Blues album, rescored, replayed. From there on, we spoke more generally.
Backseat Mafia: So the big band you're working with now, apart from the kickstarter campaign, what plans do you have for it?
Archie Shepp: We have done several concerts here in France but we plan to do more in the next couple of months.
Do you find there's a difference in audiences in France, opposed to the US?
Well, the audiences are not so very different, its just that (laughs) what I do is not so popular in the US! But there is an audience for jazz everywhere, of all different sorts of jazz. But, I like it here (in Paris) and I stay here some of the year so it makes sense to play here.
BM: The live record you are planning to do – have you anything in mind for that or is it just what you get together at the time?
AS: It's pretty much what we have been doing (live) Basically it's redoing what we did in the 1970's. We couldn't sell a lot of records over the years
BM: Because of the nature of it?
AS: Yeah, so there were only a few records I've made since I was a young man that have made any money. Attica Blues never sold well, so we're trying to put it out there again with this new band.
[youtube=http://youtu.be/sU_PTQFJA8s]
Watching some of the videos on YouTube of the big band – It's a really tight band. Do you rehearse it for a long time before you take it out on the road, or do you just dive straight in?
AS: We all come togeher down in the south of France. I suppose we rehearse with the band for a couple of weeks, and then we go straight into it. Out and play, you know.
BM: And you've some good people playing in the band – I saw Jimmy Owen was on the list this time?
AS: Yes, we had Jimmy, but we have a lot of players from all over the globe really. A lot of the players are based here in France, especially with the band playing across here, but we have people from the US, and, you know, other places as well. But we have others as well, with Reggie Washington on Bass, you know, Tom McClung on Piano. I've found some good musicians over the years, worked with some good musicians over the years.
BM: And the big band itself, as a medium. Is that something you like working in still?
AS: Ah, yes I am. I'm very happy now with what I'm doing. But you know, the last band we had was a great band, when we did the (original Attica Blues) recording. It's extraordinary and when we decided to do the whole Attica Blues thing I had to go back and listen to the album to put the material together. And it's……..amazing it didn't get the recognition and attention.
BM: It's a great album. When you made the original – what were those sessions like? Can you remember?
AS: Great, you know. Well, we had a lot of good…extraordinary musicians. Roy Burrows, and Charles McGee, err Dave Burrell on piano, Cornell Dupree on guitar, billy higgins,err and you know the bass player (struggles to remember his name) Jimmy Garrison, but it was a stellar arrangement of musicians
[youtube=http://youtu.be/ZVyy8bvv3dg]
BM: And the title track was overtly political – was that important to you?
AS: Well absolutely. It was a political time and very much part of the record. The social dynamic was different in those times, and there were things like the civil rights movement happening, and of course the Attica Prison riot heralded the changing times. There was a lot of shit happening in that place, in that jail with the guards and everything. With the track I get a lot of meaning outside of just a strike.
BM: I was going to ask you if the incident itself had really affected you?
AS: It affected a lot of people. There were a lot of people who were frustrated, you by the guards, african american people. It happened at a time people were really beginning to pay attention to repressive regimes in the prisons, but also poverty and the lack of social opportunity. So when it happened, a lot of people were enraged. It was important, and people felt it should be addressed.
BM: There was quite a lot of artistic reaction to the riot. Didn 't John Lennon (attica State) do a song about it?
Well, the difference was we put this together straight after the uprising itself. A lot of other people did things related to the incident but no others were as quick, they weren't or didn't feel as involved as we were, or felt.
BM : It was just a couple of months after the incident – is that right?
AS: That is correct. BM: And do you think that it was because of it's political nature that it didn't do so well commercially? AS: Yes, absolutely. Works that political implication throughout history have always struggled to find an audience, a sizeable one, it applied to me and it would apply to George Genet – Max Roach : there are a lot of people that put out releases but you know,, in their art. I never expected I would have gotten a big return from that or a big audience because most people are not that concerned about political issues – particularly about people who are in prison. You see, I think it's a scandal that we just ignore people who are poor, in prison. We use people as toilets. We were quick to forget what we put them in (prison) and quick to forget we have them.
On the track Attica Blues, Of course people felt strongly but the prisons themselves since then have improved. I remember wathcing local TV shows from the prison on NBC and seeing how the prisons are fixed up, and have quads and prisoners are allowed to play cards and things. But you know, Things go on in these places. Gangs rule in those places and any new prisoners are immediately raped – it's incredible what is allowed to go on. It's as bad as what's going on Syria, In Syria its the same as what's going on in the prison of the United States.
BM: Can I ask, moving on a little – you taught for a long time, but you're retired now?
AS: I retired about 10 years ago, I taught for 22 years
BM: You must have influenced a lot of people, a lot of students in your career and in your life.
AS: Well sometimes I get letters from students who lives seem to have been changed by our meeting, our relationship.
BM WHo were the big influences on your career, on your life?
AS: Well, I remember my mother, my community obviously the enormity of my tradition and the people in it from Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, to Coltrane and Lucky Thompson, Jerry Hodges, it would be difficult to single out all the rich and important influences that I have had on my life, culturally, aesthetically, socially.
BM: I don't want to appear rude but you're 75 now, 76 next week?
AS: That's not just me – there are a lot of people who are 75! Some who wish they made 75. Billie Holliday, Lester Young. Some of those would be almost 100 today. Actually I miss those people when I hear their music. To me, it's very much alive – as Beethoven, Bach is to other people.
BM: And you still enjoy playing?
AS: I think at any age you can enjoy playing. I enjoyed it when I was a little boy playing for my father and grandfather and it just the same now…. although some physical things I wish I could do better, but I love music. It's the staff of life in a way, like breathing itself.
BM: Do you listen to a lot of music?
AS: I listen to Jazz, but I think it's a moot thing because its like listening to people who fall into a certain category, I listen to Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker, Don Gray, I listen to all sorts of music, from modern day to traditional African music. I think my music is much broader than it has been defined. That's why I don't use the term Jazz. I listen to African American music which is a very broad Category and entails a lot of different music from South America. North America is not the only place, although some people forget that. We have more continents, a lot of the influence comes from Africa.
BM: That African influence shows itself in a lot of your records, doesn't it?
AS: A lot of other people have said that. African, Caribbean – listen to music today that we call rock and roll; The Beatles, Mick Jagger and David Bowie – they have all been influenced by African music. They don't talk about it, because they like it to be original. Originality would not have been possible were it not for people from the past air clapping, foot stomping. dancing, even the animals, Elephants – all of it influencing the music which come originally from Africa.
And so we chatted, about the fact I named my son after him, after seeing one of his records while we were having the discussion, and his label troubles, where several less reputable labels have put out his music, without his permission and he hasn't seen a penny from. And then we said our goodbye's, and I shook my head for a good ten minutes, after my close encounter of the legendary kind.

Miami Marlins: JT Realmuto trade, where are they now?
By Matt Melton
MIAMI, FL - AUGUST 11: J.T. Realmuto #11 of the Miami Marlins reacts after being called out on strikes looking in the first inning against the New York Mets at Marlins Park on August 11, 2018 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) /
Similar to Christian Yelich previously, one of the biggest trades made by the Miami Marlins in recent years was when the club traded catcher JT Realmuto to the Philadelphia Phillies back on February 7, 2019 for three players and future considerations.
A former third round pick by the organization back in the 2010 MLB Draft, Realmuto made his major league debut with Miami back in 2014, and would remain with the Marlins from 2014-18. One of the greatest catchers in Marlins history, Realmuto appeared in a total of 540 games with Miami during that five-year span, one that also included a combined .768 OPS, 13.9 WAR, and 59 home runs.
In addition to this, Realmuto made his first of three All-Star teams during his final season in Miami back in 2018, as well as winning his first of two Silver Sluggers in that same season.
Realmuto is currently cemented as one of the top overall catchers in baseball, and has made two All-Star appearances during the last three seasons in Philadelphia, as well as winning a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger back in 2019. Re-signing with the Phillies last January to a long-term deal, Realmuto is cemented as Philadelphia's starting catcher going forward, and is a player that Miami will likely see often for the next couple of seasons.
As for the three players the Marlins received in the trade for Realmuto, where are they now?
Where are the players the Miami Marlins received for JT Realmuto now?
Jorge Alfaro
The Phillies starting catcher at the time of the deal, Alfaro had a career-year in his first season with the Marlins back in 2019, but would struggle at times during the 2020-21 seasons. After 253 games with Miami from 2019-21, Alfaro was recently traded to the San Diego Padres back on December 1, 2021.
Sixto Sanchez
Philadelphia's top overall prospect at the time of the deal, Sanchez would instantly become Miami's top prospect also, a label that the right-hander would hold in both 2019 and 2020. Making his major league debut during the 2020 season posting a 3.46 ERA across seven starts, the Marlins current No. 4 prospect recently missed all of the 2021 season due to injury.
3 trade proposals between the Marlins and Rangers. dark. Next
The final piece of the Realmuto deal was Stewart, a then 20-year-old left-hander who was coming off a career-year across 20 starts in Low-A of the Phillies organization back in 2018. After struggling at times during the 2019 season, Stewart spent the 2021 season in Double-A where the 24-year-old posted a 4.33 ERA across 20 starts.


hmm.. well letdown by this one. from the aroma to the mouthfeel to the taste.. not what i had hoped for. i had visions of a Brooklyn masterpiece but this one is not that.
not much to say here other than it's not what i built it up to be in my mind.
Pours an erie shade of midnight black - dark, forboding, light denying. The vigorous pour brings three fingers of the most beautiful looking, mocha colored head I have seen in some time. Retention is amazing for the style and ABV - champagne yeasts at work, I presume. Lacing is thick and stringy - the small cap that remains here reminds of skin on chocolate pudding.
Aroma is quite complex - I get something new every time I hold it to the nose. Sweet milk chocolate at first, this quickly rolls into toffee and vanilla - ah yes, the bourbon barrel aging. A good hearty pull brings coffee to the forefront - rich and dark. Hints at sour cherries, raisins and dates round this out.
First to the tongue is coffee - black, strong and bitter. Following this is a sweetness not too un-like licorice, somewhat muted however. Then comes the the bourbon - strong and hot, with the oak from the barrels being quite evident here - almost overbearingly so - but I dig it. Boozy in the finish.
Let it be clear - this is all about coffee and bourbon barrel aging. Oak all over this.
Full in body, smooth, sticky and DRY mouthfeel (which I personally like). Carbonation is a bit more "zingy" than I care for, but knowing that champagne yeasts were used - it's understandable and interesting - and lends to a very smooth, airy mouthfeel.
Warm boozyness throughout... very nice.
This is one excellent sipper. When I want something big and boozy, roasted coffee, bourbon and oak - I will think Black Ops. I get the use of the champagne yeasts, and what was trying to be done here.... but I find the "zingy" mouthfeel to be a small minus for my personal tastes. While I am in the complaining mood - if this thing were just a touch more viscous in mouthfeel - it would put it over the top.
As it is - an excellent RIS. I am glad I have a couple more to age, as this is a prime candidate for the cellar - and time should allow for some of the sharpness in this to mellow and blend, and at that time, this will be fantasic.
Bought this based on the "demand vs supply" hype and wished I hadn't. I bought the last one at Whole Foods in NYC after they had received 6 cases.
My initial thought was to trade it, but I decided to crack it open tonight.
The inital sight and smell was very good, but it was all downhill from here.
The first taste was decent, but the mouthful was very thin and lacking any signs of being barrel aged. I can taste a very, very slight taste of the bourbon, but it is almost non-existent.
I was hoping this would get better as it warmed up, but not the case. This beer is very average and very below average compared to many of the barrel aged stouts I've had from other breweries.


The changing face of construction is creating opportunities for the waterproofing industry. Today's customers are becoming more demanding and choosy on selecting waterproofing products. The entry of multinational manufacturing companies and a healthy developed construction industry has given a push to the waterproofing market.
The following industry experts discuss various aspects of the waterproofing industry including the latest technology trends.
Surlaker: As per FICCI the market size for construction chemicals has the potential to grow to Rs. 5000 crore over the next few years if the industry promotes itself professionally and increases the level of awareness in the construction industry. Constructors should be convinced that usage of construction chemicals is a benefit and not undue cost. To this effect we have formed an apex body called Construction Chemicals Manufacturers' Association with the main aim of increasing awareness as well as to ensure quality standards of construction chemicals. Further, based on statistics, waterproofing systems form roughly 13-14 per cent of our industry's sales figure. With a growing industry, we anticipate the demand for waterproofing systems to grow positively. The awareness and standardisation coupled with proper training will grow the industry manifold. It will take some time for the industry to come to the international level with respect to quality, value addition and awareness, but we are getting there quickly.
Suvarna: Today in mega projects there is recommendation for construction chemicals from the planning stage. So the opportunity is increasing day by day. I think for those who are technologically sound there is enormous opportunity lying ahead.
Chitroda: There is tremendous scope for growth in the market because of the absence of quality products in the market. Water proofing has been made a very complex and complicated problem. We are in the market to provide simple but accurate solutions to complex problems of water proofing. We are here for the long term to provide good economical water proofing systems and solutions.
Surlaker: The main growth drivers would include, integral waterproofing, joint treatments and protective liquid or slurry applied products, based on mineral or resin basis.
Suvarna: Specifiers have to specify what are the exact product requirements. With the advent of international consultants in India now we have complicated structures, mass concreting, and for such cases the parameters of recommendations are also changing, and they require high quality based products. We meet this demand through research and development. We have a huge plant in Silvassa where we do in-house R&D and upgradation of special products. And since our partner has larger R&D in the case of waterproofing, we get a high range of products and there is a continuous exchange of thought and technology.
Chitroda: The construction industry is changing and facing a lot of challenges like availability of raw materials like natural river sand, claybricks, trained manpower etc. The customers are becoming more demanding. The entry of multinational companies and a developed software industry has introduced new economics in the market. The steep rise in real estate is one more important aspect fuelling the demand for quality constructions. This is very good for water proofing products. There is very little scope for error and failure in water proofing. This has led to a good amount of importance given to quality water proofing materials and contractors. The introduction of the Green Building concept in the construction sector has created a good business opportunity for the water proofing industry. Water proofing manufacturers and installers have to convert these opportunities and grow to their full potential.
Surlaker: The latest technological trends in the waterproofing solutions include low permeability concretes, integral-waterproofing additives and liquid applied membranes.
Of course, constant improvements also figure in our existing range of waterproofing membranes and systems. Our plans include better technical solutions and partnering with constructors to arrive at solutions that take advantage of the technologies mentioned above that will be both high durability and cost effective over the life of the structure. These cutting edge technologies will drive future of long lasting structures in India.
Suvarna: With the advent of new technology now we can do warranted waterproofing from inner side as our crystalline product is able to do so. This coating with geo-polymer works very well with the structure. In addition, as far as other technologies in waterproofing are concerned today we have large podiums and mega housing colonies where architects and consultants decrease or lower the weight of structures with columns. To support these structures we have moderate range and also premium range products of polyurethane waterproofing coating with up to 500 per cent elongation coatings. We have completed such pilot projects in places like Chandigarh, Delhi and Lucknow.
Chitroda: Globally the trend is increasingly towards liquid applied water proofing systems. The advantages being, easy to install, water-vapor permeability, good thermal and weather resistance, locally repairable if damaged and excellent adhesion to different substrate found in construction. There are different types of polymers used in liquid applied water proofing system in India. Acrylic polymers are very popular but have a tendency to disintegrate when kept in constant water contact. Traditionally polyurethane families of polymers are the toughest and hence widely used in different industries. Polyurethane coatings are available for use in water proofing and when incorporated with non woven fabric reinforcement, are popularly called liquid applied polyurethane membranes which are accepted as the best form of water proofing worldwide.
Surlaker: We have contributed several innovative technologies like dense packing concretes based on Quantz Technology and very low pore volume thick coatings for drinking water and waste water industry based on Dynamic SynCrystallization to name a few. These developments in various forms are inclined toward providing better waterproofing systems. Our latest launches include updated versions of integral waterproofing additives incorporating Dynamic SynCrystallization (DySC®) and provision of multi-faceted support in concrete technology for best benefit to our customers. We are working toward launching various new applications with our concrete additives, such as low permeability concretes, waterproof concretes, etc. to help our customers achieve more with less. MC-Bauchemie Worldwide has pioneered many innovations such as liquid applied bituminous membranes (Nafuflex Series), Flexible Crack Bridging Elastomeric coatings that can be applied in contact with standing water (MC-APC), etc. For the future, we believe in innovation and our latest systems for waterproofing of underground structures include a new generation breathable "Green Coating" that would revolutionise underground waterproofing treatments. Our major pluses are technical innovation, technical support and focus on flawless execution by qualified and trained applicators.
Suvarna: Ideally waterproofing should be done from the outer side but in metro cities we hardly have place to do such work. So the challenge is to do it from inner side of the structure. Earlier in the scenario, waterproofing failure ratio was almost 70—80 per cent as negative pressure was very high. But, with the advent of new technology, both domestic and internationally, we can do that from the inner side.
Chitroda: We distribute Maris Polymers SA products in India. Maris Polymers SA are selling their products in more than 50 countries. We are only eight months old in India. We are the first company which sells only polyurethane materials. Polyurethanes are the toughest polymers and have wide applications spanning from space to industrial trolley wheels. We have polyurethane water proofing systems which can be used as a coating and also along with reinforcement are commonly called liquid applied membrane water proofing. The tested life of the products is 25 years and if properly specified and applied would give a water proofing solution for 25 years. Maris Polymers products are economical and this is a big advantage for us in India.

Volume s1-26: Issue 6
A method consisting of a rectal mucosa biopsy for the clinical diagnosis of Schistosomiasis Mansoni, originally described by Ottolina and Atencio, has been applied by the writers for a period of six months and proved of extreme effectiveness. Several modifications, which make it easy and practical for routine applications, have been introduced to it. The basis for evaluating this technique is founded on a comparison of the results, obtained from its use, and those derived from stool examinations by the acid-ether concentration and the intradermal reaction tests in both treated and untreated cases of schistosomiasis.
In the untreated cases this rectal biopsy technique proved 100 per cent effective, while the acid-ether concentration and intradermal reaction tests were found positive in only 40 per cent of the same patients and in 62 per cent of the 16 patients that were tested. This biopsy technique was also positive in 70 per cent of the treated cases; the acid-ether concentration in only 18 per cent after an average of ten consecutive examinations had been performed. The intradermal reaction proved quite variable in 12 members of this group, the final results bearing no relationship to those obtained with the biopsy technique.
Besides simplifying the method for obtaining a rectal mucosa sample, the modifications introduced by the writers into the original Ottolina and Atencio method will not only permit its use for a more careful study of schistosomiasis, but also for the elucidation of many, as yet, obscure problems pertaining to it.

ERSA Manifesto Blogs: Steven Law, Citizens Advice, on greater discretion at Jobcentre Plus
This piece of writing is part of a series of blogs designed to stimulate discussion around the five key elements of the ERSA Manifesto: commissioning, complex needs, skills, employer needs, youth employment. Any opinions represented within this blog are the authors and do not represent the views of ERSA.
Under new laws, motorists are to get a ten minute 'grace period' during which they can avoid getting hit by fines when their council parking tickets run out. Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC foundation, said "The shame is that we have required ministerial intervention to tackle the 'rules are rules' culture which can result in heavy handed and disproportionate penalties."
Our recent report Responsive Welfare discusses how this 'rules are rules' culture is problematic for many Citizens Advice clients who interact with the welfare system, especially those who have complex needs. Rather than ministerial intervention, we, like Professor Glaister, would like to see to see a flexible approach when it comes to support, and the introduction of an intelligent front line in Jobcentre Plus.
This suggestion emerged from our experience as a service, where advisers regularly tell us about problems caused by a heavily prescriptive set of rules which advisers have little choice but to follow. A one size fits all system cannot possibly take account of the range of problems that people often face, and the complexity of the system means that people are too often punished for making genuine mistakes. On average, our advice sessions begin with a client articulating one problem, and end with the adviser uncovering three. It is therefore imperative that whoever is involved in front line employment support has the flexibility to properly assess barriers, and prescribe the right kind of support for the individual or family.
In the report, we talk about Colin, a client from Derbyshire who was sanctioned for four weeks because he forgot to check a box in his online job search. The application of a sanction might be the 'right' decision, but is it going to move Colin closer to the labour market? Should we not have a system where the job coach who knows Colin is able to differentiate between a mistake and deliberate non-compliance, and decide upon appropriate action on that basis? Colin is not alone. Last year our advisers helped with an average of 1,300 Jobseekers Allowance sanction issues each month.
Working at the front line is a crucial role in our welfare system, and, we argue, one which deserves substantial investment. The long term aim should be to have a front line which is characterised by staff who have high levels of emotional intelligence, a rounded view of human nature and reserves of patience and empathy. We argue that the model at Jobcentre Plus should be closer to that of nursing or social work, where there is an emphasis on consistency but room for choice.
To help pay for a long term shift to an intelligent front line, we suggest two other major changes to the welfare system. First, the introduction of greater local differentiation, in recognition that different places experience different types of problems and local leaders are best placed to solve them. Second, a move to building open digital services which are rooted in how people think; and have the potential to, for example, match local skills to local employers, or local childcare providers to busy parents. Our vision is that open digital services will help those who need little support, freeing up resource for an intelligent front line to offer tailored support for those who need it. That means we could end the 'rules are rules' culture that hampers progress for many of our clients- like Clive, who came into Southport CAB after receiving a four week sanction for being late for a work focussed interview at Jobcentre Plus. If we recognise that motorists make mistakes and shouldn't be punished unduly for being a few minutes late, surely we should apply the same recognition to people like Clive.

SBB has placed the largest rolling stock order in its history, with the goal of improving its rail offering for its customers. The Swiss rail provider has commissioned Bombardier Transportation Switzerland AG to build 59 new double-deck trains for its long-distance services, a total order volume of approximately CHF 1.9 billion.
The decision was taken following an extensive tender procedure governed by international agreements and Swiss legislation. But in the end, it was clear: Bombardier could provide the best product both in terms of passenger comfort and overall cost-effectiveness. The new trains are due to be rolled out in phases from December 2013, first on InterCity services on the St. Gallen–Zurich–Berne–Geneva and Romanshorn–Zurich–Berne–Brig routes, and on InterRegio services between Zurich and Lucerne, followed by other routes throughout Switzerland. SBB is ordering a total of 436 fully air-conditioned coaches with over 36,000 seats to enhance service quality for all its customers.
Bombardier's vehicles will have the widest interiors and deliver the largest number of seats, with distances between seats equal to that in IC 2000 coaches.
The new vehicles will also be "pressure-resistant": passengers will benefit from noticeably reduced pressure waves and less pressure on their ears in long tunnels and when trains pass one another.
"Objectively, Bombardier's was the bid that best matched our specifications and offered us a very customer-friendly train," SBB CEO Andreas Meyer told the media. Mr Meyer also stressed the cost-effectiveness of Bombardier's bid: "Modern trains and a further improved offering will provide our customers with numerous tangible benefits. What is more the passive tilt capability of these trains will give us additional journey-time leeway throughout the network. This increases punctuality and leads to fewer missed connections. It is an important step in the continued improvement of our offering," he said.
The total investment volume, including SBB's own contributions and development costs, is CHF 1.86 billion. The competition in the tender process and the large procurement volume have driven this figure well below the credit volume of CHF 2.1 billion originally projected.
Over the next twenty years, SBB is going to need 120,000 more seats on its long-distance services: old, non-air-conditioned rolling stock must be replaced, and the company will also be increasing capacity on its long-distance services by 60,000 seats to take into account the additional demand expected. SBB's current long-distance fleet consists of a mixture of double-deck trains, tilting trains and conventional single-deck trains, the oldest of which have been in service for over 40 years. The company will be investing an approximate total of CHF 20 billion in new and modernised rolling stock by 2030, and the funds for this must be generated entirely from SBB's operating profits.
In accordance with the applicable legal provisions, the proportion of added value generated by a bid in Switzerland cannot be one of the selection criteria. In spite of the stringent requirements, SBB is nonetheless playing a vital role as a driving force and motor for the Swiss economy: the company is not only Switzerland's fourth biggest employer, with a headcount of 28,000, but SBB is also a key customer of Swiss industry, placing orders worth some CHF 3.5 billion in 2009. Within the applicable legislation on public procurement processes, 87% of this order volume was awarded to companies in Switzerland. Thus, SBB additionally secured the equivalent of 16,000 full-time jobs at Swiss companies in 2009.
In order to make travelling quicker and easier for passengers, Lausanne and St. Gallen need to be integrated into the timetable as "full hubs" with both hourly and half-hourly timetabled connections. This means reducing the journey time between Lausanne and Berne and between Zurich und St. Gallen to less than an hour each. This desired reduction is to be achieved on the one hand through infrastructure-related measures, and on the other through the introduction of new rolling stock.
The technology designed to be fitted to the new double-deck trains enables the vehicles to negotiate curves faster by tilting up to two degrees (the maximum tilt on conventional tilting trains is eight degrees). So with the trains' passive tilt mechanisms enabling them to negotiate curves faster, journey times can be improved by around 10% without sacrificing passenger comfort.
Yet the idea of incorporating a passive tilt mechanism into trains is nothing new: similar systems are already in use on Talgo trains in Spain and Shinkansen services in Japan. SBB, too, has considerable experience with passive tilt mechanisms: its own class Re460 ("Lok 2000") locomotives also feature similar technology.
