You can set a vacation reminder directly from the Gmail app, perfect for letting friends, loved ones, and coworkers know that you're away from your desk.
You can set a vacation reminder directly from the Gmail app, perfect for letting friends, loved ones, and coworkers know that you won't be replying for a good long while.
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of the screen, scroll down and tap Settings, then tap the Gmail account for which you'd like to set an out-of-office message.
Tap Vacation responder, then fill in the start and end dates, a subject line, and the body of your message. Checking the box next to "Send only to my contacts" will ensure that only people you know will get the message.
Flip the "Vacation responder" switch on, then tap Done.
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of the page, then tap the Settings button (the one shaped like a gear) next to your email address.
Flip the Vacation Responder switch, then fill in the blanks—you know, start and end dates, subject line, message, and so on. Tap the Save button.
Bonus tip: Any vacation message you set in the web version of Gmail will automatically sync with the Vacation Responder settings for the Gmail app, and vice versa.
Gmail makes it easy to "mute" an annoying thread.
Gmail makes it easy to "mute" an annoying message thread—like the kind where everyone chimes in with a "congrats!" or "so cute!" or "see you there"...over and over again. Once muted, the thread won't appear in your inbox again unless you're the only person in the To field.
See a message thread you'd like to mute? Open it, tap the three-dot (for Android) or down-arrow (for iOS) menu in the top corner of the screen, then tap Mute.
Want to unmute a message? Search for "is:muted," open the muted message you'd like to unmute, then move it back to the inbox. That'll clear the thread's Muted label.
You can set the Gmail app to automatically sync some or all of your folders, not just the inbox.
By default, the Gmail app syncs only your inbox (or inboxes, if you're signed into multiple accounts). All your other message folders—er, labels—will only be synced when you open them manually.
You can set the Gmail app to sync some or all of your labels automatically, not just the inbox—and that'll give you some interesting options when it comes to email notifications (more on that in a moment).
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of your Gmail inbox, scroll down and tap Settings, then select a Gmail account.
Next, scroll down to the Data Usage section and tap Manage labels.
Select a label, tap Sync messages, then pick an option: None, Last 30 days (or another period of time; more on that in a moment), or All.
Bonus tip: The more labels you sync, the more mobile data you'll use, so you may want to sync your Gmail labels sparingly.
Want an alert when a message goes directly to one of your email folders? No problem.
Now your Gmail app is syncing some of your labels, how about getting a notification whenever a new message with that label hits your account? That could come in handy if you've got Gmail filters that automatically label messages as they arrive, bypassing your inbox as a result.
Go back to the Manage labels setting. Tap the menu button at the top of your inbox, scroll down, tap Settings, select an account, tap Manage labels, then pick a label that you're syncing.
Check the Label notifications box, then choose an alert tone, toggle vibrations on or off, and decide whether you want a notification for each new message with a given label.
You can decide how many messages you'd like Gmail to sync for your inbox and other specified labels.
Back when we were learning how to sync messages with certain Gmail labels, one option was how many days of messages you'd like the Gmail app to sync: none, a specific number, or all.
Tap the menu button in the top-left corner of your Gmail inbox, scroll down and tap Settings, then tap an account.
Tap Days of mail to sync and make a selection.
Want to read the next message thread in your inbox? Just swipe one way or the other.
Here's a handy little Gmail feature that's easy to miss. Want to read the next message thread in your inbox? No need to tap the Back button to return to the inbox screen. Instead, just swipe from right to left (for older threads) or left to right (for more recent threads).
You can attach massive files to email messages from the Gmail app, all with a little help from Google Drive.
With a little help from Google Drive, you can send a massive file—as in, say, more than a few GB—to a friend via email, or deliver a large batch of files.
Don't have a Google Drive account? Well, if you're using Gmail, you've actually got one already.
First, you'll need to load the files you want to send into Google Drive. Open your Google Drive account, then drag the file you want to send onto the web page. The file should begin uploading automatically.
Next, open the Gmail app, compose a new message or reply to an existing one, tap the Attach button (it looks like a paperclip), then tap Insert from Drive.
Find the file you want to send, tap it, then tap the Select button (for Android) or the curved arrow (on iOS).
The Gmail app welcomes email from other accounts, not just Gmail. Isn't it friendly?
Nope, Gmail isn't just for Gmail any more. The latest version of the Gmail app for Android lets you add non-Gmail email accounts, such as Yahoo Mail, Outlook, or any account that supports the POP or IMAP email protocols.
Just tap the menu button in the top-left corner of your inbox, tap your email address, tap Add account, select Personal (IMAP/POP), then tap OK.
For popular email services like Yahoo and Outlook, Gmail should be able to guide you through the setup process using nothing but your email account and password. Otherwise, you may need to know some other information, such as your email provider's POP and IMAP settings. For those details, check your provider's Help pages.


Canadian independent Talisman Energy is "within two weeks" of a possible deal that would see it become a significant player in Alaska, chief executive officer Jim Buckee said May 7.
He told analysts in a conference call that Talisman has its eye on at least four prospects of 300 million to 500 million barrels each.
Buckee did not offer any further details, but has made it clear this week that the company is hungry for acquisitions that could range up to several hundred million dollars.
Talisman, with up to C$2 billion available for a buying spree, needs new production to offset the 60,000 barrels per day it lost this year when it finally unloaded its controversial stake in Sudan's Greater Nile Petroleum Operating Co. for an after-tax gain of C$296 million.
Calgary analysts believe Talisman is likely seeking interests in various fields through farm-in arrangements, without taking ownership of any.
They say Alaska has special appeal because the infrastructure is in place and there is none of the negative fallout from Sudan that has been a drag on stock values.


Could you use a little more magic and imagination in your life? The Imagine That! collection is made of nothing but magic and imagination (along with paper, ink, etc.)! It uses a vibrant and playful palette that adds a youthful feel to your projects and makes it perfect for creating colorful scrapbook layouts that feel energetic and vivacious. Check out this example of a gorgeous magical scrapbook layout made with Imagine That!
Step 1: Use striped patterned paper for your base. Using the 12-inch Straight Trimmer, cut the shooting stars paper to measure 10-3/4″ x 10-1/2″ and adhere it to the center of the base.
Step 2: Adhere the gray-and-white plus sign mat approximately 2″ from the bottom of the shooting stars patterned paper, tilting the mat slightly to the left, pointing the top right side of the mat toward the top as shown.
Step 3: Adhere the "Making Memories" mat 1″ from the bottom of the shooting stars patterned paper, leaving a 1″ space of the shooting star patterned paper at the right side of the mat. Adhere a photo to the gray-and-white mat as shown.
Step 4: Mat a 4″ x 6″ photo onto the yellow grid mat using your Tape Runner. Overlap the yellow matted photo so that it covers about 2″ of the far right side of the first photo.
Step 5: Embellish your layout by adding stickers, embellishments and gems. Make sure to use Foam Squares on some of the die cuts for added dimension.
Add a splash of fun shades to your layouts and projects with the Imagine That! collection. The palette has a playful aesthetic that will make all your daily adventures look like a dazzling display. What's your favorite part of this playful scrapbook layout? Let us know in the comments!

FILE - An X2 Taser gun is shown on display at the Taser booth during the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in San Diego, California, Oct. 17, 2016.
Ramzi Saad died after a Taser shock by police during a dispute between Saad and his mother.
"I personally think it would be appropriate to have a moratorium on their use," said Dave Pine, a San Mateo government official.
One of the country's largest police departments, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, put new rules in place, said one official. It is waiting for approval from the city's newly elected government.
In San Francisco, city government officials stopped the police department's plan to buy Tasers.
In San Mateo, the medical examiner's office ruled the death of Ramzi Saad as a homicide. The office said Saad's heart stopped after being restrained by police, who then used the Taser.
Saad's Taser death was followed by two others.
Wagstaffe said he asked his office "to come up with as much information as possible on Taser-related deaths." The information will go to all of San Mateo County's police departments "to help them in their judgment on the future use of Tasers," he said.

The Gospel of Eureka
Michael Palmieri, Donal Mosher
Welcome to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, a one-of-a-kind oasis in the Ozarks where Christian piety rubs shoulders with a thriving queer community. Narrated with homespun humor by Mx Justin Vivian Bond, this lushly photographed documentary spotlights the space where the town's seemingly contradictory factions intersect: Lee and Walter, out and proud husband-owners of a local gay bar they liken to a "hillbilly Studio 54," talk about their deep-seated faith; a Christian t-shirt designer describes his love for his gay father; and everything comes together in a show-stopping mash-up of a spectacular passion play and raucous drag show. The result is a joyously offbeat slice of Americana that breaks down the red-state-blue-state divide.

How does a small Durbanville property running a flock of 50 sheep, 2 cows and a sheepdog become one of South Africa's most successful small wine cellars?
This type of Cinderella fairy tale only gets written if a few very special ingredients get blended with a number of happy coincidences. So what was our Nitida recipe?
First we found a piece of beautiful soil (just "to live on"), we also happened to really fancy drinking good wine. Maybe it helped to be inadvertently perfectly trained for the job of crafting a wine brand (Bernhard is a chemical engineer and Peta was in advertising).
Finally we just had to add some magic ingredients: Peta's mother, our wonderful "Matriarch" helped us finance the farm; we found a 3-cylinder, 30 kilowatt, semi-derelict 1971 Ford tractor in the shed which we promptly named Pufford and learnt to drive; then there was Klaas, who had worked on the farm for years (he taught us to milk a cow and chase down sheep) and the final essential element was tonnes of energy and wonderful people.
Classy.Classic.Elegant. Heaps of cut grass with crispy green peppers and fresh orange blossom. Balancing this tautness into brilliance, is a fabulous fruity core, featuring apricots, litchis, granadilla and limes. Where romance and friendship come together in a wine. Share on the beach over cucumber wrapped sushi rolls.
A crème de la crème of enchantment. Sensual wild ferment style tempts with old fashioned peaches and Bosc brown pears. Heady depths of satin smooth oak bewitchingly brush Turkish apricot and sweet limes. Could transport your family roast pork leg and apple sauce into an unchartered realm.
Complete, understated, elegance re-defined. Stylish white asparagus polishes fresh Yuzu lemon fragrance. Highlights of spice and celery merge gently with very fresh granadilla and peach. Such refined craftmanship, there is no need to brag. Engages with Parma ham and melon, or leads the dance with a charcuterie plate.
An indulgent affair, as heady honeysuckle rendezvous with dripping fresh fig and seductive gooseberries. Jasmine, aniseed spice and fresh coriander add a tad of sweetness to this intense tryst. Finally, a lusty dollop of marmalade adds extra intrigue. Made for an enduring relationship with Kashmiri Lamb.
Light Noble Rot treasure on Riesling grapes put under Danie's magical wand. Now a wondrous mouthful of jasmine, orange blossom becomes a statement of honey fig and ginger Turkish delight. Standout finish of delightful flambéed grapefruit and burnished naartjie. Demands authentic "Bo-Kaap Kerrie"!
Effortless harmony. Fresh jasmine introduces a silky synthesis of fruit and spice tangerines, peach, apricot and subtle cumin, so" cinnamon and fennel in delighted symmetry. Another Danie masterpiece. Worth visitng frequently between mouthfuls of tapas.
Creamy, fine brioche with a meaty centre, like an accomplished pizza. Delicate straw supports honey fynbos, soft wood and shapely lanolin pampered with wild coriander and whirl of cardamon. A Christmas ham essential or tomorrows seared tuna with sesame crust and stone fruit salad.
Chance upon a best friend. Crunchy quince, bursts of gooseberry and granny smith apples stroll arm-in-arm with wild sorrel, lemongrass and spring peashoots. Warms with lovely honey almond as delightful white pepper, organic nettles and gentle gun flint reminisce of previous Nitida jewels. For another indelible memory you could partner with an exotic Vietnamese Pho broth.
No shrinking violet this. Rather an intricate sense of sweetness, with tantalizing rose petals, macerated strawberries and a sour cherry finish. Peppery nasturtium and exotic cardamom will elevate your traditional twice roasted duck and plum sauce, or be audacious, savour with herb encrusted Red Roman.
Definitely no faded rose here, but a cabaret starring violet petals and gentle vanilla, almost caramel essence. As coconut shortbread boogies with tentative cedarwood, shady green-leaf illusions hover in the wings. Needs no partner, but will prove popular with Saturday's brisket and vegan spring rolls.
Bold yet beautiful. An experience of contrasts. Traditional expectations are effortlessly met, before a more contemporary journey through dimensions of raw cocoa, worked leather, black currants, dried oregano and rosemary begins. Will glamorize the heartiest of lamb shank pot pies with any of your best friends.
Urban cosmopolitan, sophisticated and versatile, will make its home wherever. Fine velvet tannins cohabit with a polished sense of creamy toffee and a wealth of juicy plums. Refined pepper and coriander spice juxaposes innocent rhubarb and cranberry.
A rare combination of elegance with personality which will flourish into maturity! Blackberry, mulberry and red cherry feast captivates while firm dustings of Jarrah wood and dark cacao hint of the future. Will be brilliantly hosted by kudu carpaccio and pot roast guinea fowl pie.
A full bodied wine with upfront plum followed by a multitude of berries such as, mulberry, black berry and hints of raspberry on the nose. Berry fruit and mocha flavours follow through on the palate with a wonderful soft lingering aftertaste. The kind of wine that demands a aged fillet steak.
See the morning in with wonderful apple strudel and spicy chai biscotti nuance. Let fresh green apple, nettles and lime highlights refresh as the sun shines, or relax later while mellow pear, litchi and juicy white nectarine proposition you from your glass. With a glass of the right superfine mousse in your hand, every part of every day is a noteworthy celebration.


When economic development projects go smoothly, public-private partnerships use synchronized teamwork to ensure an outcome that fuels commerce, creates jobs, grows the tax base, brings communities together and improves livability. Our team knows how to make this collaboration work. Clients tell us they value our extensive experience advising each side of the public-private equation, giving us keen insight into both business and government perspectives.
For the transformative $150 million Federal City redevelopment project in the historic Algiers district of New Orleans, we conducted all the negotiations, crafted and nailed down the project agreements and handled the financing and government relations work. Our team's efforts helped convert a former Navy installation into a mixed-use community with housing, retail, dining and entertainment, where now some 2,500 people live and work.
We helped a multi-national health technology firm establish a second U.S. corporate headquarters in Nashville, creating nearly 1,000 new jobs. In this complex, high-end development project, we represented the company in all aspects of the negotiations and spearheaded the site-selection process.
We have successfully negotiated over a billion dollars' worth of aerospace and aviation projects in the southeast over the last three years. This enormous amount of capital has resulted in thousands of high-paying jobs and an ever-growing tax base in the communities in which these companies now call home.
We have counseled numerous clients on the launch of foreign direct investment (FDI) manufacturing projects involving billions of dollars in multiple business sectors across our footprint. From developing industries such as renewable energy production, to the bedrock industry of shipbuilding, we have handled a multiple and varied client mix. We have the experience that matters.
While we advise many regional and national clients and public entities, we also serve large global companies that operate or want to operate in the Southeast. We represent public-private partnerships for airports, infrastructure and public transit projects, commercial developments, health care, oil and gas, energy, higher education, utilities, port facilities, entertainment and recreation, industrial, manufacturing, distribution and logistics, urban and community development projects, and transportation and tribal developments, among others.
Our team is known for conceiving and implementing creative solutions for projects in a wide range of opportunity zones, and we're often brought in when a project stalls because people recognize our ability to get derailed projects back on track. Clients are concerned about such issues as federal tariff and trade policies and the tightening of state and federal budgets, which can affect incentivized projects. Consequently, in collaboration with our Government Relations team, we closely monitor the issues and lobby lawmakers for more favorable tax environments and vehicles for business development. Clients commend us on those efforts as well as our on-time product delivery and responsive communication.
Community Development/Revitalization: We represent business owners and not-for-profit entities in partnership with site-selection firms, local economic development professionals and government agencies. We negotiate benefits and incentives for competitive local business climates, healthy tax bases and high-quality infrastructure.
Public Finance: We investigate tax or revenue-secured municipal bonds as well as corporate securities for private and not-for-profit development, cash flow and restructuring of existing debt.
Negotiation, Litigation and ADR: We provide counsel for stalled projects, conflict resolution arising from questions of legality in public/private partnerships and development proposals and litigation for breach of contract or other underperformance claims.


What's the tax position on rental income received by joint owners?
We are 3 brothers who own a house which is rented out. Does the rent received have to be divided between us for tax reasons or is it possible for one or two of us to have it only on our books?
You are allowed to come to an agreement, preferably written and before the start of the tax year, that the rental income will be received in a different proportion to the ownership of the property. Make sure that the rental income is only received in the right bank accounts according to the rental agreement. See hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/pimmanual/PIM1030.htm.

BOOKS OF MAGIC #1
Written by Kat Howard
Art by Tom Fowler
Having read the book adaptation and the original series by Gaiman, I have high hopes for this reboot. While the original versions were excellent, Issue #1 kicks off to a mediocre start. It's very light on fantasy, magic, and plot. It focuses more on the juvenile school aspect of a bullied Timothy Hunter and lacks the fantastical feeling of discovery in the original series. Unless you are entirely new to the series, save your money and hop on with Issue #2 instead.
COLD SPOTS #3
Art by Mark Torres
One of my favorite things about Cold Spots is that it comes with a QR code to download music specially made to be listened to while reading each individual issue. The first two issues of Cold Spots built up a suspenseful and eerily creepy mystery involving a small town and island along a waterfront. Issue 3 answers the mystery. The art style is a bit amateurish and could be better. If you're looking for a chilling tale to read this Halloween and have a bit of patience, this might be the right title for you.
SPIDER-GWEN: GHOST-SPIDER
Written by Seanan McGuire
Art by Rosi Kampe
There's a lot of Spider-Man comics right now, so if you're going to release a new Spidey title, it needs to be good. There wasn't a whole lot going on here artwise or storywise. Gwen encounters a few common criminals and a Green Goblin wannabe. Finally, she bumps into an alternate universe Peter Parker… and that's it. I'm not sure what the appeal of this series is, other than the fact that the main character is Spider-Gwen.
OLD LADY HARLEY #1
Written by Frank Tieri
Art by Inaki Miranda
Tieri's risk-taking with Old Lady Harley #1 is commendable. There are some interesting concepts here, but the plot is a hot mess. Art is pretty fleshed out and background panels are detailed. The book is weird enough to be interesting but rushes through plot points too quickly to fully enjoy them. Reading Old Lady Harley is like being on a roller coaster ride. It might be a lot of fun, or it might make you nauseous, or both.
THE PUNISHER #3
Written by Matthew Rosenberg
Art by Szymon Kudranski
The Punisher continues to impress. Filled with cinematic action sequences, great dialogue, and Frank Castle doing what he does best. Issue #3 integrates superhero cameos to perfection. So far, The Punisher is among the best of Marvel's Fresh Start. Frank Castle has never been in better hands than with Rosenberg and Kudranski.
Rating: 10 out of 10
THE RETURN OF WOLVERINE #2
Art by Declan Shalvey
The pencil work and coloring in issue #1 was amazing, but issue #2 is disappointing with the artist switch. Colors and action panels are good, but the pencilwork in this issue felt more like a budget Indy title. Story-wise, I like where the series is going. I'm not too fond of the whole save the kid development, as it's an overdone cliche.
THE SENTRY #5
Written by Jeff Lemire
Art by Joshua Cassara
This is the epic conclusion to the 5 part Sentry mini-series. Lemire has destroyed the Sentry as we know him and created something new and terrifying in his place. This was a brutal and superb series, full of betrayal and violence with a personal touch. It finishes with an open ending. Hopefully, we will see more of the new Sentry in the future.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #8
Art by Humberto Ramos
Issue #8 begins another good Spider-Man arc. The Amazing Spider-Man is one of the most fun runs from Marvel right now. It's written in the classic Spider-Man manner. This issue has a unique and entertaining plot that involves the mysterious disappearance of superhero gear from nearly every character.
INFINITY WARS: SOLDIER SUPREME
Art by Adam Kubert
As a "What if" kind of story, the Infinity Warps issues have an interesting premise. While it sounds compelling, the implications of two characters warping together everywhere in the universe end up creating a convoluted issue. A lot of the creative effort appears to be used to decide which characters merge with who and the implications of that, which results in less creative efforts being put into the rest of the story.
X-O MANOWAR #20
Art by Juan Jose Ryp
X-O has been one of my favorite ongoing series. The first 18 issues of Kindt's run have been fantastic! Issue 20 brings us some tie-ins with the Divinity series. I feel this arc is more of a crossover generic event than the typical outstanding quality of X-O. It's a serviceable read that will entertain most Valiant fans, but It's certainly not the best arc of the series.

CHAPEL HILL — Two Shipleys added up to one state championship for the Weddington High School football team on Friday.
Brothers James and Will Shipley combined for 217 of their team's 262 yards and accounted for three touchdowns to lead the Warriors to a 27-14 win against Southeast Guilford in the NCHSAA 3AA title game at a soggy Kenan Stadium.
Older brother James also had one of his team's three interceptions as Weddington completed a 15-1 season with their second state championship in the last three years.
Southeast Guilford (14-2) came into the game allowing an average of just 10.4 points per game, but Weddington was able to top that by the end of the first quarter.
Quarterback Whitner Litton connected with Max Brimigion for a 42-yard touchdown on the Warriors' opening possession. Then after a long touchdown run by James Shipley was nullified by a holding penalty, James took a pitch from Litton and hit his brother downfield with an option pass for a 50-yard score.
Weddington extended its lead to 20-0 by halftime on an 8-yard pass from Litton to James Shipley.
Southeast Guilford quarterback Ryan Douglas tried to rally the Falcons by running for one touchdown and throwing for another in the second half, with the latter coming on an 80-yard strike to Tyler Huff.
But another Will Shipley touchdown run and those three interceptions kept the Southeast Guilford comeback from gaining enough momentum to mount a serious challenge.
James Shipley, who was named the game's MVP, caught 10 passes for 131 yards. Will Shipley was Weddington's leading rusher with 49 yards. Litton completed 12 of 18 for 172 yards and two touchdowns.
Although the game was virtually even statistically, with the Warriors only outgaining the Falcons by a 262-253 margin, the difference in the game turned out to be mistakes — especially penalties.
Southeast Guilford was flagged 11 times for 58 yards, many of which helped stifle drives.
DURHAM — Just when it seemed as though the Cougars had squandered an opportunity to win its third straight 4AA state championship, its defense came up with a big play to secure the championship anyway.
One play after a go-ahead 22-yard field goal by Nolan Parris was blocked, Wake Forest forced a safety with just 37 seconds remaining in regulation to earn its 45th straight victory in dramatic fashion.
Vance (14-2) took over at its own 1-yard line after the blocked field goal, but quarterback Nigel Summerville bobbled the snap and fumbled as he tried to hand off to running back Andre White. Although he was able to fall on the loose ball, Summerville was in the end zone, giving Wake Forest the two points it needed to break a 7-7 tie.
Vance drew first blood by scoring on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Summerville to Nyier Clark just 23 seconds into the game. It was the first points Wake Forest had allowed in its three state championship game appearances after outscoring its previous two opponents by a 50-0 margin.
Wake Forest (14-0) answered back with a 13-play, 52-yard drive on its second possession that ended with a 3-yard run by Marquel Haywood.
That was the end of the scoring until the final minute as the defenses took center stage on a foggy, wet night at Duke's Wallace Wade Stadium.
Wake Forest quarterback Mateo Sudipo was named the game's Most Valuable Player after completing 8 for 15 passes for 71 yards. He also intercepted a pass, returning it for 46 yards and had a pass break up.


For the first time in one audio collection, all 16 Yes Minister radio episodes plus six further TV episodes, 14 Yes Prime Minister episodes and two bonus sketches.
Between 1980 and 1988 on BBC television and radio, the exploits of the Rt Hon Jim Hacker MP (Paul Eddington) - later Prime Minister - kept the British nation enthralled. Helped - and hampered - by his diligent Permanent Secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby (Nigel Hawthorne) and his Principle Private Secretary Bernard Woolley (Derek Fowlds), Hacker and his department became synonymous with government bureaucracy and administrative double dealing. Presented here, for the first time in one collection, are the complete radio series of Yes Minister and the complete BBC television soundtracks of Yes Prime Minister. Also included are six TV soundtracks of Yes Minister and two special bonus mini-episodes: "The PM's Plan", recorded in 1984 with Margaret Thatcher as herself, and a special segment created for "The Funny Side of Christmas" in 1982.
This wonderfully witty, clever and beguilingly cynical look at British politics made perfect television when originally made, and it works just as well as an audiobook. Those familiar with the series will be very pleased by the chance to re-encounter Jim Hacker, Sir Humphrey Appleby and Bernard Woolley, and those unfamiliar are in store for a real treat.
Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister will reward multiple listenings, and there are two bonuses among the episodes: The Yes Minister sketch involving Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and a Christmas Greeting from Sir Humphrey Appleby to Jim.
Download it as soon as you can - you certainly won't regret it!
The best comedy series ever. Can't get enough of it after all these years. Masterpiece in all aspects :script , performance, screenplay.
This is a great series and one I will listen to again and again. It's farcical banter and beaurocratic nonsense has made me laugh out loud on my commute many any times. Such good fun!
Regardless of the original production date, this series remains funny because it is still relevant. This is one that I can listen to repeatedly. The characters are interesting, funny, and knowable. The topics are real, the situations all too familiar, and you just know this is what really goes on in government, doubtless no matter the country. Yes Minister and the follow-up Yes Prime Minister are just funny- plain and simple.
Such great satire, it'll change the way you think about politics. I didn't realise it wasn't current, all the issues are so familiar.
This is a complete collection of the Yes Minister/Prime Minister series, so if you like the series, this is the collection to get. As a fan of the series, you really can't go wrong there. The one caveat here is the audience volume in the Yes, Prime Minister portion of this audiobook - it is so loud that it almost drowns out the actor's voices, or atleast makes it very annoying. This caveat does not apply to the Yes,Minister part of the audiobook. It's still a great buy, but I wish they had fixed (reduced) the audience volume issue before releasing it.
This wasn't a laugh-out-loud experience for me, but I enjoyed the way I was taught the machinations of politics in a humorous way. It is a good thing I am not a school teacher because I would try to get kids to learn more "how the world really works" beyond the accepted school curriculum - and this comedic audio has many good examples of how human ideals, egos, hunger for power, and sneaky machinations collide.
Listening to this audio book at the same time as watching a series called "Borgen" gives an immersive experience of humans and politics - at least as portrayed by the entertainment industry. And amazement as to why anyone would want to be in politics.
The audio issue here needs to be discussed. The voices are sometimes a bit hollow and distant, requiring the volume be turned up. However, the audience laughter (a laugh track?) is a solid sound, sometimes requiring the ear buds to be quickly pulled out of the ear if the iPod is in a pocket and too hard to reach fast. This uneven sound quality is not great for someone who uses earbuds, but if you listen to audio books on a speaker may not be an issue.
I think I laughed out loud only a few times, but the audio version was still an enjoyable experience - and I learned something about how our world works and people behave too.
Hilarious and engaging!! I Loved every minute of it both times I listened to it.
absolutely dear listeners & readers!


How to change a career path?
This is a topic that affects many people. We choose the professional direction often at a young age, often under family pressure to choose a safe and secure path. Then we can regret it and want to change something in our lives. How to do it?
We have known this topic in Turdus very well, because both of us are in the middle of changing profession. It causes some complications, which I will write about in a moment. In summary, however, we are satisfied.
check what you are good at and what you like to do. If what you like to do is not what you are good at, go to further points. Sometimes determining what will be your new career path requires many attempts and approaches or possible direction corrections. Do not give up searching until you finally feel that this is it. And it is not that this dream path will be strewn with roses. No no. It will probably be very hard sometimes, because changing the profession is not a easy thing to do, but the satisfaction will be very large.
find out what you need to do to become a specialist in your profession. Do you have to go to a paid course or even return or go to the university. Are you able to become self-taught – it is possible with some professions. If you can learn alone, what do you need? There is a lot of knowledge on the internet, but you have to find it (I recommend my articles on gaining artistic knowledge on the internet ). You will probably need a guide after this new world. It's best to have such few. Then you gain a broad view, because often every person presents their point of view mainly.
prepare yourself a plan, be aware that it will take some time before you become a specialist in this new field.
Practice, but by the way, do not spoil the market. You can decide to volunteer if the matter is right, but do not do work for free for ordinary entrepreneurs who want to save money thinking only about their profit benefit. It is better to practice among family and friends, or for strangers for a smaller price. You can also work for yourself, for example, create your own portfolio from designs you have imagined or create a real product.
be aware that it will be hard, this is what I wrote at the beginning – while changing our career path, we often do overtime of work, this extra half od effort for some time probably will not bring income and will consume forces. Some people even decide to run their own company all the time as something additional to a full-time job. However you have to know the consequences of this choice. It is very important to remember about holidays. Unfortunately, without recharging the batteries from time to time, you can easily burn out and give up. Also, plan your time to rest as a sacred thing (I say this from the perspective of the person who did not do it) and keep your goal in front of your eyes and you will succeed.
in general, try to get the most out of the specifics of a given industry, so as not to be surprised and it does not turn out that it is not what you would like to do.
I hope that my text will be helpful to all who are thinking about changing their professional path. If you are in the process of it, write what are your ways, to go through this stage as best as possible.

How to Get the Best Endings For 'Black Mirror Bandersnatch'
There are five main endings to Netflix's massively popular new 'Black Mirror' choose-your-own adventure movie. Here's how to get the best ones.
By Ryan Britt
If you've had an hour to yourself over the holidays, there's a chance you've wanted to dip into the newest Black Mirror thingamabob everyone's talking about on Netflix; the dark choose-your-own-adventure movie Bandersnatch. But, because there are so many ways you can screw-up, Bandersnatch might be frustrating for some because unlike a video game or one of the real Chose Your Own Adventure books, going back and starting over is a little more time-consuming. So, what are the best endings?
We're not going to pretend to have figured out all the various endings to the storylines, and some people on Reddit have gotten through a lot of permutations. But, we can guide you to the five, seemingly most significant endings. You know, just in case you don't have 10 free hours to go through this story over and over and over again.
(One note: whenever you are presented with the option of pouring tea over Stefan's computer, don't do it. It's like one of those instant endings in the old Choose Your Own Adventure books.)
Now, onto the five best endings. At least, we think.

Aramark Launches New Plant-Based Culinary Training Curriculum with The Humane Society of the United States
Company Continues to Increase Plant-Based Menu Offerings as Part of Healthy for Life 20 By 20 Commitment; Joins Culinary Institute of America's Menus of Change Sustainable Leadership Council
tweet me:
.@Aramark launches new plant-based culinary training curriculum with The Humane Society of the United States http://bit.ly/2wBw8D0
Multimedia from this Release
Friday, August 25, 2017 - 8:50am
NEWSROOM: Aramark
CAMPAIGN: Healthy for Life 20 By 20
PHILADELPHIA, August 25, 2017 /3BL Media/ – Aramark (NYSE: ARMK), a global leader in food, facilities and uniforms, announced today that it will partner with The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to conduct a series of plant-based culinary trainings over the next six months as part of its ongoing efforts to develop strategies that increase plant-based food offerings for consumers. Currently, as part of its Healthy for Life 20 By 20 commitment with the American Heart Association, 30 percent of the main dishes Aramark serves across its dining operations in Healthcare, Higher Education and Business Dining are vegan or vegetarian, and 10 percent feature whole grains as their main ingredient.
The goal of the new training partnership is to further enable the company's 1000+ chefs who serve millions of meals daily in hospitals, schools and workplaces to create meals, menus and dining concepts that center on foods including vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts. The curriculum will be developed together with The HSUS and Aramark's culinary leadership, including culinary teams at accounts the company serves. Aramark will also engage with its external advisors, including health & wellness, environmental and animal welfare organizations, to track and report its progress on plant-based food offerings following these trainings.
Recent survey findings of Aramark consumers found that more than 60 percent of respondents believe that vegan, vegetarian and plant-forward (vegetables-as-center-of-the-plate, with smaller portions of meat) options are important. The vast majority of those consumers also believe these options are better for their health, the environment and animals.
"As part of our broad and ongoing commitment to health, wellness and sustainability, we continue to work towards offering more plant-forward menu options and alternate protein sources to Aramark guests," said Dan Wainfan, who leads health & wellness for Aramark. "We are proud to work on culinary training and menu innovations which provide important health benefits to consumers, while minimizing our environmental impact."
Today's announcement builds on the separate alliance between Aramark and the American Heart Association (AHA.) Aramark and the AHA teamed up in 2015 for a five-year commitment to improve the health of Americans 20 percent by 2020. That goal will be achieved by reducing calories, saturated fat and sodium levels while increasing vegetables, whole grains and fruits across menus served in Aramark's workplaces, hospital cafes and college residential dining halls. The commitment also includes public health education to enable consumers to make healthy food choices.
"The American Heart Association is proud of what we've accomplished working with Aramark to help improve the health of Americans. Aramark's continued increase in plant-based offerings aligns extremely well with AHA recommendations," according to the organization.
Aramark also announced its participation in The Culinary Institute of America's Menus of Change Sustainable Business Leadership Council. Council members advise The Culinary Institute of America and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health on the design of an annual leadership summit and the overall initiative, including identifying key issues to advance the business of healthy, sustainable, delicious food choices. The culinary trainings and new role on the CIA's Sustainable Leadership Council will support Aramark's ongoing efforts to increase plant-forward menus options and concepts across its dining operations.
"In five short years, Menus of Change has set a new direction for the foodservice industry, bringing attention to the role of protein on our menus and recipes, and spurring culinary innovation in plant-forward dining," said Arlin Wasserman, founder and partner at Changing Tastes, and chair of the Menus of Change Sustainable Business Leadership Council. "The Council's role is key to this success and its members, including Aramark, provide important insights and guidance from the foodservice and hospitality industry."

Discussion in 'LCD & LED LCD TVs Forum' started by Karl_T, Jan 23, 2008.
Hello all, I am having a bit of a dilemma I'm teetering on the edge of getting a Pioneer PDP-4280 based on it's excellent SD reproduction and good abilities with panning/motion, but I'm worried the plasma buzz will bug me.
So, is there anything out there LCD wise in this size range that does a good job uspcaling SD images and shows panning shots without too much judder. The latter really bugs me and stops me enjoying what I'm watching.
All the stores seem to have their LCD TV's hooked up to blue ray players and yes they look great, but that's not what I'm going to be watching 99% of the time.
No LCD is going to come close to the Pioneer with SD content, regardless of what others might tell you.

Jimmy Goldsmith and Me
The Stock Market Crash of 1987: Twenty-five years on….
There was one man who seemed to see it coming: Sir James Goldsmith, Anglo-French billionaire, global environmentalist, suave corporate financier, elegant bon vivant. Ladies man.
Was he Ian Fleming's inspiration for James Bond, or for one of his villains?
Perhaps both.
What I know now from the perspective of 25 years in business after having first met Sir James is that I learned a very great amount from the man.
He famously sold most of his stocks just before Black Monday, Oct. 19, 1987, and then he tried to achieve one of the world's largest leveraged buyouts. It was a privilege to get to know him well. He was one of a kind.
(I am the scribbler hanging on his words on the right of the photo.)
That Syncing Feeling
Has the 'syncing feeling' affected you, too?
Below is a link to my WSJ edit pager on an unintended consequence of the smartphone cloud: the new time we need to spend to make sync work as cheaply and efficiently as possible…Especially when traveling overseas. I was struck by this recently — as mobile services become more powerful (which is great!) they are also forcing us to spend more time fiddling and fussing with them to make them as efficient and inexpensive to operate as possible.
Many thanks to Gordon Crovitz, whose column returns to its regularly scheduled spot next week!

Secrecy, Troop Movements and Social Media
Reading the Pulitzer-winning (1931) memoirs of General John Pershing recently, I am struck by many things, including the horrifying first use of chemical weapons, the unprecedented loss of life (700,000 dead at Verdun alone), and some unexpected 'walk-on' cameos including the Zelig-like appearances of a youthful, high-energy captain on the General's staff named George S. Patton, Jr. (who later would return to his own fight in France).
But perhaps most interesting, given the unbelievable progress in communication technology since Pershing's time, is the commander's genuine shock and horror that the arrival and movements of the U.S. Expeditionary Force on European soil was extensively covered in the press of the time. "To my utter surprise" Pershing noted, the arrival of the Doughboys was thoroughly documented including "port of debarkation, the designation of units and the number of men."
Pershing called on his aides for an immediate and total censorship lockdown, which was mostly successful. "Secrecy gives a commander the possibility of surprising his opponent," Pershing writes (pg. 89) "The surest road to defeat would be to let the enemy know all about one's plans and preparations."
Fast forward to about a year ago, when a blogger in Abottabad, Pakistan started tweeting about the unusual presence of helicopters in the night sky of the city. Those helicopters, of course, were carrying the U.S. Navy SEALs who killed Osama bin Laden. Had the local blogger been a little earlier, or a little more aggressive, he might have alerted the entire Bin Laden compound to the presence of the commandos.
How long will it be before the casual tweet or Facebook post will actually directly lead to a botched rescue mission, assault or other incident? It is hard to imagine anything else.
What's even harder to imagine is how to put this particular genie of social media back in the bottle. When I was running Yahoo! News, there was light editorial oversight of social comments. But there really is no mechanism that has the footprint or scale to have any sort of pre-publication review. Hard to imagine that even being possible.
Which leads solely to this conclusion: Had social media existed in 'Black Jack' Pershing's time, there's no question that the arrival of the US forces in France would have been tweeted and blogged. Probably the arrival would have been recorded and streamed on YouTube.

At CES, The Most Important News You Didn't Hear….
….was the relative competition between China and India for their future piece of the global TMT (Technology, Media, Telecom) landscape.
The verdict: At CES, no question this round goes to China — a virtual shutout of India, which was almost invisible in contrast to the enormous and growing presence of Chinese technology manufacturers, telecom hardware and software providers and infrastructure players in glitzy splendor among the 153,000 attendees of this year's CES in Las Vegas.
Such Chinese leaders as telecom giant Huawei (with its sub-$100 Android smartphone) had significant floorspace. And this very large presence was more than exceeded if you total the dozens of smaller companies more modestly showing one or another interesting new take on an existing business (e.g. super-powerful, super-inexpensive tablet computers) or on a new business (cleverly designed bluetooth-enabled holders to attach your iPad to the back of the front seat of your car to create a cheap backseat entertainment center).
But the 'missing force' at CES was India, whose large and growing technology and telecom industry was more or less AWOL from the show. Not that India's tech executives were absent: I had several great meetings with leaders from several Indian players in the telecom and IT outsourcing industries.
But given the pace of growth of India's telecom and technology industries and the increasing global role they are playing, it was intriguing India's technology leaders were most notable in their absence. I know from the very strong growth app-store marketplace leader Appia is seeing in India through its relationship providing mobile applications for Vodafone India, for instance, that the Indian market is surging.
Yet Indian manufacturers and technology companies seemed almost invisible at this year's preeminent consumer technology showcase.
Why? There are those who say CES is past its prime, and perhaps that explains the absence of some of these players. But at an event where China played such a visible and growing role, the contrast with India provides an interesting anecdote.
The only conclusion on the ground was: China is 'leaning in' on a global export opportunity, and India — by appearances anyway — seems to lean in the opposite direction.

Joining Appia Inc. as Executive Chairman….
I'm super-excited to be joining the Appia Inc. board as Executive Chairman. In a short time, Appia has become the leading independent global source for mobile app discovery and download (that isn't owned by Apple or Google or RIM or Nokia). Jud, Alex and the Appia team are simply killing it in global distribution of the mobile apps that make all our devices more useful.
You may not yet know Appia, which provides white-label app stores to carriers around the globe — but if you have downloaded an app on any of the seven Continents, chances are high you have used Appia to do it….
I am looking forward to helping the Appia team accelerate their already growing momentum, and hopefully helping lead to an outcome as great as a previous company I had the privilege of Exec Chairing — WHERE – has enjoyed since their acquisition by eBay earlier this year.
I'll continue my roles on the boards of some other great companies as well. The focus: accelerating profitable growth.
AllThingsD had a nice writeup here…
Press Release is here…
Eric Schmidt's Biggest Mistake
It is not often that a public-company CEO lays bare his faults before his peers (and a global livestreaming audience) and candidly answers a question about the worst thing he or she got wrong in the job.
Tonight, Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt did just that. And it is worth noting the authenticity with which he recounted his biggest screw up in a decade as Google CEO was fairly stunning for its directness.
And that is a management lesson for us all to consider.
Specifically, Schmidt said Google missed the huge opportunity to create the social platform that Facebook has become, noting that the now-being-solved platform opportunity around our "identity" is one of the defining opportunities in technology.
"The CEO should take responsibility. I screwed up in missing the 'identity' opportunity," he said. "I wrote memos about it four years ago. I wrote memos about it three years ago. But I did nothing."
There was a brief pause while the audience simply took in the direct point.
And then Kara asked the perfect followup:
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I was busy," said Schmidt. Which he no doubt was. Not an excuse. Just a statement of fact.
Schmidt said many other interesting things during his remarks, and then a few more when several of us ate dinner together (though it was a short, cold dinner outside once the sun set). Among them: Google is working on the next generation of search which will be about algorithmically winnowing down its results to the best answer to a query, as opposed to its current model of finding the web page that most closely seems to relate to the query. (This is a big change — and a big deal if done right). He also expressed concerns about countries beginning to wall off the internet from the basic standards that makes it work the same way from Lebanon, PA to Lebanon, in the Mideast. And he showed new Google wallet payment technology which is the company's entry into the new era-defining opportunity of local-social-mobile commerce. The Mashable guys did a fine job summarizing his remarks here.
But the most memorable thing was his no-nonsense answer to the direct question of what he got wrong, which he volunteered with no caveats.
My own view is that this is what we will remember the longest about what he said here tonight. And there is a lesson in management for all of us in that.

@ The Wall Street Journal D9 Conference
It is a beautiful day in southern California for a technology conference. If the lineup weren't so good (as it always is) many of the attendees would probably play hookey and enjoy the golden California sunshine. (Apologies to those folks who are reading this where it is raining….)
It is the ninth annual WSJ D conference since Walt and Kara started this global gathering of the digital elite, and my fifteenth since I left daily newspaper journalism at The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones to get involved in this "obscure" (as it was considered then) and "geeky" (again, that was then) thing called….The Internet….
Today, what is now known simply as "Convergence" has brought together the worlds of media, communications and technology in ways that were simply a vision back then.
I have been privileged to operate big jobs at the center of this "Convergence" from several vantage points ("Big Media" (@TimeWarner), "Big Internet" (@Yahoo!), "Big Telecom" (EarthLink), and successful startups in websearch and mobile (Infoseek->Disney and WHERE->EBay).
And it's funny: when you look forward, big changes really seem evolutionary. It is only when you have the perspective and opportunity to look backwards that you can see how revolutionary the changes really are….
This WSJ D Conference provides plenty of both perspective and opportunity – so I will be pimping for my current startups every way I can! 🙂
And Walt and Kara and their growing team have assembled a great lineup, including Google's Eric Schmidt, Hewlett-Packard CEO Léo Apotheker, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop, DARPA director Regina Dugan, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo and Steven Sinofsky, president of Microsoft's Windows division, among others….
I'll tweet as best I can! Once a reporter, always a reporter….
The Looming Sunni-Shia Battle
It's an old habit, but I like to visit into far-off places at times of big change. (This was an especially useful talent to have in my days as a foreign correspondent, but also keeps life interesting now).
I just returned from a longish trip to the Mideast including Lebanon and Turkey and this post is mostly about the perspective one gets from such travel. As a telecom and technology executive, I was fascinated to see up-close the powerful role mobile and social technology are playing in the popular uprisings currently shaking so much of the Arab world. And it was so interesting – and invaluable – to meet and speak with to speak with so many people who are using new mobile technology to create a new landscape in the region.
Just over the past week, unrest in Syria left over a hundred people dead and underscored a widening of the popular uprisings that have already occurred this year (in Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Tunisia and Libya) to Lebanon's neighbor to the East. There surely is more upheaval to come.
I spent much of the past week in Lebanon, traveling from the southern Shuf Mountains to the northern city of Tripoli. I had a memorable time seeing a beautiful, diverse country that is rebuilding and seems on the move despite all the obstacles stacked against it.
In contrast to the impression one has from afar, Beirut today and its suburbs nowadays are a bustling hive of construction sites, highway projects and a busy international airport. Years of civil war have left deep scars of course, and opened the door for such rivals as Dubai to eclipse Beirut as a regional center. But with such awe-inspiring construction projects as the center-city Solidere redevelopment site – one of the largest engineering projects in the world – it is possible to imagine Beirut once again becoming the 'Paris of the Mideast.'
Of course, the outward appearance of modernity and economic progress may prove fragile, as it has so many times before by intervention from its neighbors and internal civil strife.
To say it's a complex neighborhood is a deliberate understatement.
Regardless, one principal impression stays with me after 10 days spent in the region:
The coming fault line of conflict in the Mideast will be within the "neighborhood" of Islamic Arabia itself, and it will NOT principally be a battle of Islam with the rest of the world. The United States and the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa are not at the center of this reformation. Nor is the Palestinian-Israeli issue the key. In fact, this isn't even principally a battle involving nation-states.
Rather, the confrontation is shaping up as a battle for the soul of Islam – between extremist Shia and Sunni groups.
The Arab uprisings of 2011 in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and now Syria have thus far not illustrated this in the early rounds. But I have a hunch we will see the Sunni-Shia extremist conflict emerging soon as a central narrative in the so-called Arab Uprising of 2011. When? It may be a while, because so many institutions of post-authoritarian regimes need to be rebuilt. But there is very little question it is coming, and in some places possibly soon.
How can this be? Many of the worst repressive regimes kept "bottled up" the worst kinds of the religious conflicts among the two main strains of Islamic faith. Now, as these regimes crumble, the prospects for more openness and democracy increase, but so do the possibly of internal civil war.
The principal Shia action groups on the list are very familiar: Iran, Amal, and of course Hezbollah (which in Lebanon these days seems as much the huge force it is in the mainstream of political life, with visible signs of its power plastered all over, especially in the south, not at all a marginalized splinter group it is sometimes portrayed outside the country). On the Sunni side, the names are less well-known to non-Mideast experts but no less lethal. Perhaps the most terrifyingly brutal are the extremist fighters belonging to the Salafi orthodox Sunni sect, who claimed responsibility for the brutal murder of a pro-Palestinian Italian activist kidnapped and murdered in Gaza while I was traveling here.
In Syria, there is a scenario in which Syrian strongman Bashar Al Assad losing his grip on the country, and setting up a conflict between Sunni majority in the country, and the Shia and Alawite minority who have dominated the political landscape for 40 years. In the region, Christians, Druze and other religious minorities all fear becoming caught in the cross-fire. Such a shift in the balance of power in Syria could put Hezbollah and Iran on the defensive, and then usher in a new period of realignment in the region.
Despite the West's strong interests and involvement in the region, the heart of the issue is essentially local in nature. It does not revolve around Washington, London, Beijing or other world capitals. Which may be worth remembering as the calls for global action, especially for the U.S., escalate.

My new role at WHERE…
I have been happy to be a board director of WHERE for the past several years. Now I am very excited to be taking on an additional role as Executive Chairman as announced today.
WHERE is the leading location media company and provides a hugely useful mobile service that helps you find and share your favorite places, at home or on the road. My view is such mobile, location-aware services are at the forefront of the next-generation of consumer and business marketing, media, advertising and technology. Innovating a breakneck pace, WHERE sits at the crossroads of the local, social, mobile and technology ecosystem.
WHERE's latest product release reflects all that. I've commented before about the usefulness of features that help you store, manage and share the places you like. With the current release (updated last week for Android and iPhone) WHERE now is starting to recommend local places that you and your friends are likely to find most alluring, based on algorithmic analysis of you and your friends' preferences. It's very cool.
And the company is on a tear! In addition to reaching four million mobile customers monthly, WHERE is also the biggest location-aware advertising network — (that hasn't been snapped up by Apple or Google) — serving more than two billion monthly mobile advertising impressions. Although a private company that doesn't release its financials, WHERE is both growing revenues fast (in the double-digit millions) and has been profitable for the past six consecutive quarters. That kind of performance reflects the fact the company is a great team, led at its top by a terrific CEO – Walt Doyle.
What does an executive chairman do? I'll be working on corporate development and strategy with the team, who are doing great things in the relationships with carriers, handset manufacturers and other important partners. Mostly, I will try to be helpful to the WHERE team and its stakeholders, just as WHERE tries to be helpful to its customers. And I'll continue with my board roles at several other private companies I am equally enthusiastic about.
I am excited to be off on the next phase of the WHERE ride!

Best Mate By Stephen Doig Limited Edition Print
Product Code: D0008
A Fine Art Print Depicting the Cheltenham Gold Cup Winner - £250.00
Signed limited edition print
Approximate size of print: 20 x 24"
Magnificent antiqued gold frame complemented by antique white double mount and gold fillet
Stephen Doig is one of the country's leading sporting artists.Here he has created a superb depiction of Best Mate who in 2004 secured the Cheltenham Gold Cup for the third time in succession.

Only a few of these outstanding works of art remain and here we offer a rare investment opportunity.


Interest in packaging sustainability is on the rise. The talk among the 500 exhibitors competing for attention at Luxe Pack is about high value, premiumization, brand experience and packaging ability to reflect brands and products through design, material and creative, innovative solutions.
In the stand at Luxe Pack Monaco, the world's leading trade show for luxury packaging, BillerudKorsnäs, enters with a sustainability-focused message – lightweighting – reduction of weight, use of raw materials and energy, cutting down on transport and warehousing, producing less waste, all in all contributes to smaller environmental impact, while customers and brands save cost.
"Lightweighting, as a result of our strong material, is one practical example of our sustainability ambitions. Another example is our team of experts in structural design, with the competence and capability to evaluate any existing packaging solution and offer an alternative that uses less material and weighs less. Last but not least, our products come from a renewable source. That is an appealing proposition to the luxury brands, given the high awareness levels of their customers" says Magnus Levinsson, Business Segment Director Cartonboard at BillerudKorsnäs.
BillerudKorsnäs is a regular exhibitor at Luxe Pack in Monaco, Shanghai and New York, showcasing inspiring packaging design based on their unique premium cartonboard whose combination of strength, formability and excellent printing properties matches the demand of luxury brands. The lightweighting opportunities add to the potential for premium brands to build a strong environmental profile.

Mesa-Bains, Amalia
ICAA Record ID
In this essay, Amalia Mesa-Bains provides an analysis of the sculptural works by Uruguayan-born artist, Rimer Cardillo. Her analysis insists on the coexistence of multiple meanings, while also attempting to identify the personal, cultural, and historical matrices of Cardillo's work. In describing the influences on Cardillo's work, Mesa-Bains mentions his family life in Uruguay, his experience under a repressive military regime, and his immigration to the United States in 1979, as three important markers in his life. She identifies Cardillo's desire to connect his work to an ancient heritage that spans the entire continent and his interest in environmental conservation. Mesa-Bains also recounts how Cardillo's experiences of cultural and personal trauma are important factors in his selection of materials and the allegorical nature of his work. She analyzes the symbolic meaning of the different natural materials that Cardillo uses and provides close readings of three individual altar works.
Amalia Mesa-Bains is an artist and cultural critic who wrote extensively on Chicano/Latino art. In this essay for a solo art exhibition at INTAR Gallery in New York, Mesa-Bains uses the art of Rimer Cardillo to articulate a larger framework for what she terms the "new aesthetic of the Americas," which she also argues expresses myriad meanings and complex sets of signifiers. Thus, beyond just focusing on his artwork as solely a personal artistic expression, Cardillo's art becomes a vehicle for Mesa-Bains to explore an aesthetic theory of Latin American art, drawing from Roland Barthes literary concept of "plural text," and also from her prior discourse on the intersections of historical memory and spiritual regeneration in Chicano and Latino art.

Program #BROL003. Recorded in Seattle, WA on November 11, 2013.
I wish every person in the world, especially the political leaders, would listen to this lecture and just maybe we could get some constructive action to address this extremely dangerous global warming crisis.
