Doune Of Rothiemurchus 8211
Aviemore, Scotland
The designed landscape extends along the east banks of the River Spey, to the west of its confluence with the Milton Burn. Remnants of the formal avenue survive and, in views from The Doune, serve to draw the eye south-east. The estate woodlands contain significant stands of Caledonian pine, which broadly, cover the area of 18th century pinewood.
The Doune, the Grant's mansion house, dates from the late-17th century. By the mid-18th century, The Doune had an entrance forecourt on its south-east front, leading to a formal tree-lined avenue aligned upon Ord Bàn. A walled garden was situated north of The Doune. It was subdivided into six compartments, with a 'Cornyard' attached to its north-east side. From 1797 onwards, Sir John Peter Grant aggrandised the house and extended it eastwards to his own designs. In 1808 the farm steading, which had surrounded The Doune, was demolished and rebuilt to the north of Doune Hill leaving the grounds to be landscaped.

Formal landscape dating from the 17th/early 18th century, significantly informalised in the 19th century by parkland laid out in a picturesque design.
Location and Setting
The Doune of Rothiemurchus lies in Strathspey, 4km south of Aviemore and is accessed by the B970. The designed landscape extends along the east banks of the River Spey, to the west of its confluence with the Milton Burn, which issues northwards from Loch an Eilein. Strathspey, broad at this point, forms a division between the Cairngorm and Monadhliath mountains.
The designed landscape dominates its surroundings and, together with Kinrara on the Spey's west banks, contributes to the landscape character of this section of Strathspey. The broad open strath is flanked by undulating hills. These hills contain views along the length of the broad flat floodplain, mainly southwards, where the parkland extends along the riverside, accentuating the long views. Panoramic mountain views are also intrinsic to Rothiemurchus. The Doune provides an elevated vantage point in the valley, from which these views are appreciated. Remnants of the formal avenue survive and, in views from The Doune, serve to draw the eye south-east.
18th century estate surveys indicate a formal landscape laid out east of The Doune, including a grand formal avenue linking The Doune with Ord Bàn (Henderson, 1762; Tait, 1789). As the 19th century landscape became informal, so the southern section of this avenue was removed, a late 18th/early 19th century development (1868, OS 6").
By the 19th century, parkland extended across the valley floor to include the lower, east-facing slopes of Ord Bàn and the banks of the Milton Burn. The extent of the designed landscape remains unchanged since.
The estate woodlands contain significant stands of Caledonian pine, which broadly, cover the area of 18th century pinewood (Smout, 1997, p.116).
Landscape Components
The Doune dates from the late 17th century with various additions up to the mid 19th century. The principal block faces south and is five bays wide and two storeys high. Above the entrance door is a Venetian window. The Doune Farm Cottages comprise a single-storey cottages range, built to a 'U' plan dating to 1800-10.
The West Lodge (1805), remodelled by Elizabeth and Jane Grant in 1812, is a single storey white-harled cottage with projecting piended roof supported by brick pilasters forming a veranda. Rothiemurchus Croft House, built between 1812-14 to the design of the Grant sisters, is a picturesque white-harled, two-storey, irregular three-bay house with a single storey south wing. The Polchar, also 1812-14 to the 'design' of the Grant sisters, is a symmetrical, single storey and five-bays, originally built for the gamekeeper.
The James Martineau Memorial, built c 1900, is a three-sided column with carved interlacing Celtic designs standing on a triangular plinth and enclosed by a simple spearhead railing. The Old Church and Burial Ground, built in 1830, incorporates remains of an earlier church. It is currently roofless. Rothiemurchus Old Manse, is a standard, white-harled single storey Parliamentary of 1830. The lean to extensions on the north east are later.
Drives and Approaches
Three main drives approach the house from the north, east and south. There is no access from the west due to the course of the river. The north drive leads through woodland west of The Polchar. It then divides; one branch leading north-westwards to Doune Farm and then through woodland north-west of The Doune. A second branch leads off southwards through the parkland laid out in the bottom of the valley, to then approach The Doune from the south-east.
The east drive enters the parkland from an elevated gateway on the B970 adjacent to the former Kitchen Garden. It takes a sweeping informal approach to the south west front of the house.
The West Lodge, situated 900m due south of The Doune, stands on the B970. It provides a long sinuous approach through informal parkland to the house.
The parkland lies south and east of The Doune along the low-lying flood plain. Most is now arable although some parkland trees survive, the most prominent being remnants of the early/mid 18th century avenue south-east of the house. Most groups of parkland trees were lost in the 20th century (1899, OS 6").
The estate woodlands are long-established and recorded from the 16th century. Extensive forest survives on the hills. The policy woodlands are mixed, generally comprising beech, sycamore, lime, elm, ash and oak with Scots pine, firs, larch and spruce. The parklands are framed by woodland on the lower valley slopes and along the course of the Spey.
An ornamental pond lies adjacent to, and to the west of, the north drive leading to The Doune.
Walled Garden
The Kitchen Garden, built on a new site in the early 19th century, occupies a sheltered spot south-west of The Polchar. The garden was fenced and consisted of two compartments. The northern contained an oval-shaped flower garden with formal beds. The southern was a productive fruit and vegetable garden with a range of glasshouses. These are ruined and little else survives apart from the traces of some footpaths and a few fruit trees.
A Pinetum was established on and adjacent to The Doune in the 19th century. The collection includes Giant fir (Abies grandis), Caucasian fir (Abies nordmanniana), Incense cedar (Calocedrus decurren}s), Lawson cypress (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), Nootka cypress (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), Wellingtonia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). The largest specimens were measured in 1989 for The Tree Register of the British Isles, which recorded a Sitka spruce of 59m (197ft) high and many other conifers in excess of 40m (120ft). In some areas, there are thickets of Rhododendron, including both species and hybrid forms.
Detailed History
Reason for Inclusion
A picturesque designed landscape of outstanding historical value, that is documented in Garnt's Memoirs (1845) and forms the main ornamental landscape character along this stretch of Strathspey. Formerly a 17th/early 18th century formal design, it was significantly informalised in the 19th century by parkland designed according to picturesque principles.
Main Phases of Landscape Development
Early/mid 18th century; late 18th/early 19th century.
The Rothiemurchus Estate is referred to in the 16th century for its 'great and large firrwoods' in the vicinity of Loch an Eilean (Smout, 1997, p.115). The Doune, the Grant's mansion house, dates from the late 17th century. The door lintel dated 1598, comes reportedly from Muckrath Castle. According to Elizabeth Grant, The Doune takes its name from the hill above, which 'had been fortified in the ruder ages when the dwelling of our ancestors had been upon the top of it... the moat is perfect and two or three steep terraces along the side' (Grant, 1898).
By the mid 18th century, The Doune had an entrance forecourt on its south-east front, leading to a formal tree-lined avenue aligned upon Ord Bàn. Initially, the avenue led mid-way uphill, creating a prominent ride c 80m wide (Henderson, 1762), but by 1789 it seems to have stopped at the foot of Ord Bàn (Tait, 1789). A walled garden was situated north of The Doune. It was subdivided into six compartments, with a 'Cornyard' attached to its north-east side (Henderson, 1762; Tait, 1789).
The Caledonian pinewoods of the estate were a potential source of income, which the Grants attempted to exploit without much success until the early 19th century. Between 1769-71, wood sales reached £370 per annum compared with £175 from farm rentals on the estate. By the turn of the 19th century 'the timber was beginning to be marketable,' (Grant, 1898, p.7) and by 1803 'Mr. Grant annually cut down perhaps £1500 of timber; and yet when riding through his woods, not a tree to the eye is missing.'
From 1797 onwards, Sir John Peter Grant aggrandised the house and extended it eastwards to his own designs. His plans included a west wing to mirror the east with a connecting colonnade (unexecuted) and a variety of estate buildings. Elizabeth Grant noted 'my father had always had a turn for beautifying Rothiemurcus with cottages; it was more that, at first the effect of the picture in the scenery, than the wish to improve the dwellings of his people...' (Grant, 1898, p.321). Grant's Memoirs written between 1845-54 offer an informative and vivid social history of the estate and its development from 1797 through to 1815.
In 1808 the farm steading, which had surrounded The Doune, was demolished and rebuilt to the north of Doune Hill leaving the grounds to be landscaped. The new steading was admired by James Robinson in A General View of the Agriculture of the County of Inverness (1808) as a 'large steading of handsome offices' with Doune Farmhouse and the grieve's house part of the complex.
A new walled garden was built c 1812 in the shelter of the:
'hollows in the birch wood between the Drum and the Miltown moor; a fashion of the day, to remove the fruit and vegetables to an inconvenient distance from the Cook, the kitchen department of the garden being considered the reverse of ornamental. The new situation... and the way it was laid out, was the admiration of every body, and there could not well have been any thing of the sort more striking to the eye, with the nicely managed entrance among the trees, and the gardener's cottage so picturesquely placed... A very enjoyable shrubbery replaced the dear old formal kitchen garden, with belts of flowering trees, and gay beds of flowers, grass plots, dry walks and the Doune hill in the midst of it, all neatly fenced from the lawn' .
According to his daughter, the inconvenient form and arrangement of Sir John's early cottages, like the West Lodge, Boring Mill and The Polchar (c 1805), gave way to improved designs built as a result of his 'Searching through our drawing books for a model for the Croft... he now better understood the wants of a household. He picked out a great many pretty elevations, suggested the necessary changes, and left it to Jane and me to make correct drawings and working plans' (Grant, 1898, p.322).
These cottages were all in the picturesque style, with heather-thatched roofs, tall chimneys and lattice windows. At the West Lodge 'Ayrshire roses' were trained on the walls, honeysuckle clothed the verandah 'and we put all sorts of common flowers in a border between the cottage and the road. It was a very pretty cottage, particularly suited to the scenery...' (Grant 1898, p.322).
The Polchar, a gamekeeper's cottage, was later leased by Dr. James Martineau, (the Unitarian divine) for five months annually between 1877 until his death in 1900. He extended the cottage in the cottage ornée style.
When Sir John was appointed a Judge in Bombay in 1827, Georgiana, 6th Duchess of Bedford, 5th daughter of the 4th Duke and Duchess of Gordon (see Kinrara) leased The Doune. Married (in 1803) to John Russell, 6th Duke of Bedford (1766-1839), the great agriculturist, art collector and horticulturist, Georgiana improved the policies. As her mother had revealed views at Kinrara, so she cleared views to the east and to the south, to Doune Hill where the enclosed pleasure grounds were opened up to lawn. Although much of the wood was clear-felled in the 1830s, regeneration was good, as saplings regenerated 'as straight and thick as trees in a nursery' (Smout, 1997, p.116). The church and burial ground, which included the Grant family enclosure, was rebuilt, on an abandoned ancient site, at this time. The 6th Duke of Bedford died at Rothiemurchus in 1839.
In 1848, Sir William Grant succeeded; he became Governor of Bengal from 1859-1862 and Governor of Jamaica 1866-1873. In 1877, the mansion house was again extended, being heightened to three storeys by the architect John Lessels. By 1882, the estate contained 9,895ha (24,457 acres).
In 1900, a monument was erected to Dr James Martineau. The estate continues in private ownership.

Tapio Sadeoja Appointed Senior Editor-in-Chief of Ilta-Sanomat
Tapio Sadeoja, Ilta-Sanomat's chief news editor, acting Editor-in-Chief, has been appointed as Senior Editor-in-Chief of the paper. The Board of Directors of SanomaWSOY made the decision to appoint Sadeoja today.
"We will continue along the lines drawn by Hannu Savola, my predecessor. He once determined that we take 'a few steps towards a more matter-of-fact policy'. We'll stick to this progress. We believe in good journalism and found our success through it, in both the paper and online editions. Ilta-Sanomat is an interesting, reliable and quick newspaper, and also the leading conversational medium in Finland," says Sadeoja.
According to Sadeoja, the development of the IS brand in all distribution channels continues by applying the following principle: more facts, sports and entertainment.
"Ilta-Sanomat has developed in a good direction lately. A healthy balance between matter-of-fact journalism and entertainment has been developed. A good tabloid has interesting content. Sadeoja has successfully led Ilta-Sanomat reforms. I am convinced that the strong story of Ilta-Sanomat will continue under his leadership, to the readers' benefit," says Mikael Pentikäinen, President of Sanoma Osakeyhtiö.
Forty-eight-year-old Sadeoja has worked at Ilta-Sanomat since 1981. He has led news editing since 1997, and worked as the paper's chief news editor since the autumn of 2006. He started as acting Editor-in-Chief in January 2007.
A second Editor-in-Chief for Ilta-Sanomat will be selected through a public application process, which will be started immediately.
Ilta-Sanomat is part of SanomaWSOY's newspaper division Sanoma.

Lovey allows herself to be chased from her childhood home in Oxford, Mississipi by her older sister Bitsy's inexplicable animosity. Though she calls foul on sibling rivalry, her parents don't back her up, making Lovey feel damaged. When their mother's garden shed burns to the ground after their friends Fisher and Finn barely make it out, Bitsy blames Lovey and no one protests, leaving her alone for years wallowing in the injustice. Bitsy uses Finn's injuries to fuel Lovey's guilt, prompting her move to another state, another life, away from his brother Fisher, who asked Lovey to marry him. Emotions run rampant through Lovey as she tries to balance her current life and the one she ran scared from decades ago. Her parents convince her to return home for their 50th wedding anniversary party. She complies, facing her lost love and antagonistic sister. When she's called to return to work to resolve a hostile takeover by the boss of her ad campaign project, her father changes her mind when he confesses that her mother is terminally ill. She stays, determined to treasure every last moment with her mother, making a truce with her sister, and dealing haphazardly with Fisher's current "it's complicated" relationship status. Lovey continues to bond with her mother over their shared love of gardening, with life lessons inspired by gardening and favorite local writers Welty and Faulkner sprinkled throughout the book by both parents. Religious themes run a bit strong in this story and can be distracting, assuming that readers are Christian and accepting of religiosity as part of the lessons. Lovey makes a breakthrough with her father after a particularly hurtful encounter with Bitsy, which starts her healing process. She is home. This is her home. Everything comes together, albeit some of it a bit too easily, as there are decades of pent-up hurt to be worked through, especially for the sisters.
This novel lays a family bare across the lush backdrop of a Mississippi farm, with floral imagery cascading over it all, a tragic history made bigger by time, southern literary greats explored, and long ago loves who may not be lost.

August 11, 2012 Shem Radzikowski No Comments
With the rising sun the stillness and peace of the night gives way to hammer-drills, screeching machines and a sea of fluorescently coloured construction workers precariously clinging to the most recent addition to Dubai's skyline. A marriage of glass and steel, polished until the reflection of distant sea waves can no longer be distinguished from the true horizon.
Indians, Pakistanis, Nepali and Sri Lankans — destitute people trapped in a cycle of debt and indentured servitude — workers without whom the city would grind to a screeching halt. They came seeking fortunes, a better life and prosperity for those they left back home — people of hope, of dreams and optimistic smiles.
The hot air makes the smallest of tasks an exhausting inconvenience. Even the birds, perched high up on the unfinished balconies, sit still and in silence while hugging any available slither of shade. Their beaks slightly ajar in an attempt to stay cool, panting as though they were dogs. Flying down for a mouthful of water is somewhat deceptive. There are fountains and swimming pools with plenty of water, but the unforgiving sun and lack of shade makes any such expedition counterproductive. Anything that lives here is stuck in a mode of perpetual survival, trapped between the sun's mighty sting and the moisture-sucking desert air.
Day after day the sun wages a never-ending assault on the waters of the Persian Gulf, until they too surrender the life-giving fluid that eventually covers the city as a thick white fog. Only the tallest of buildings are able to penetrate the blanket of fog and jut out into the sky like ribs of unfortunate animals that perished under the desert sand.
Dubai Fog as seen from an Aircraft
Construction is everywhere, on every corner, on everyone's backyard. It's wise to keep an eye on the direction of the desert wind. Miscalculate and there's a strong chance you'll be breathing in a plume of cement so great that it proves too difficult to dislodge from the back of the throat.
Conservation of fluids and energy is of utmost importance. Everything moves slowly, even the passage of time seems to take its cue from the sound of safety boots sluggishly shuffling across the sand-covered pavements. With Ramadan upon us, so ends the consumption of food and water during the day, and with temperatures frequently hitting fifty degrees Celsius, one can only imagine the conditions under which the workers continue with their donkeywork.
Bodies that were brisk and nimble now move about like water-starved zombies, ready to collapse at any time. Their shoulders slump forward and the once high spirits lie destroyed by a system of oppression and corrupt middlemen who extorted large sums of money for the promise of a well-paying job. Out of pocket and until the costs of passage are repaid, there is no hope of returning home. Many have had their passports confiscated by the job-brokers in fear that once the true nature of Dubai's working conditions is revealed, there would be a mass exodus.
Overseeing these withered men as they continue to lift a metropolis of biblical proportions from a desert as unforgiving as the masters they serve, is a Mao-sized mural of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the constitutional monarch of Dubai. His well-manicured face is splashed across the neighbouring skyscraper in an attempt at giving the entire construction zone a boost of regal morale.
What little wages they make, whatever is left over from the cost of life, they send to feed families that probably no longer remember their long departed faces. Home is as distant a memory as the promise of ever going back.
Decades pass, the skyscrapers grow and the tourists just keep on coming — oblivious to it all.

Description 228:175 mm., 4°, age and damp staining, corners turned, bound in contemporary boards, rubbed and torn. Not in CD-EPI.
Description Sefer ha-Yashar is a medieval retelling of biblical stories arranged according to the weekly parshah, written in a contemporary (medieval) style. The text of the title page begins that it is a work including many stories and midrashim from the rabbis of blessed memory on the Torah, and the books of Joshua and Judges. It is written in a clear and pleasant style that draws a person's heart to recognize the wonders of the Lord and His kindness. The text is in a single column in rabbinic type. Sefer ha-Yashar is not to be confused with the work of the same name attributed to Rabbenu Tam. The anonymous author of Sefer ha-Yashar is presumed to have liven in the 11th century in Spain. He retells, at great length, the story from the creation to the time of the Judges. It is the most complete example of this type of medieval writing using biblical motifs, aggadic material, and fictional innovations to weave a new and captivating story. The literary scope of the work was unequaled by any later medieval writing.
The author of Sefer ha-Yashar, together with the author of Jossipon, is credited with adding another aspect to the medieval story about biblical times: they attempted, and frequently succeeded, in incorporating non-Jewish legends, history, and mythology into the biblical story. The Jews of the Byzantine Empire, Italy, and Spain accepted the legends and history of the people among whom they lived as being part of the history of the world, and argued that as such they form part of the Bible which was believed to include all the important events in human history. These authors, and others, therefore, developed a system of synchronization and analogy to establish a connection between non-Jewish stories and biblical heroes and chronology.

Onopenko is from Vinnytsia Oblast. He graduated the Kharkiv Law Institute in 1975 and later a candidate dissertation in 1994. In 1976-1981 Onopenko was a judge of the Lityn Raion court, later in the Chernihiv Oblast court. In 1985-1991 he was a judge of the Supreme Court of Ukraine.

In 1992 he was appointed a Minister of Justice of Ukraine (Kuchma government, Second Masol government). At the post in 1994 Onopenko created own political party, the Party of Human Rights. Sometime in 1995 his party was united with Social Democratic Party of Ukraine and Ukrainian Party of Justice into Social Democratic Party of Ukraine (united). He was elected the chairman of the newly created political party. Due to inadequate investigation of events of July 1995 (related to burial of Volodymyr (Romaniuk)), in August 1995 Onopenko resigned.

Soon after being elected to Verkhovna Rada at the 1998 parliamentary elections, Onopenko was excluded from SDPU(u) and created yet another party the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party joining the "Independents" group in parliament and then "Batkivshchyna". In 1999 presidential elections he ran for the President of Ukraine post.

During the 2002 parliamentary elections Onopenko returned to parliament on the party list from Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc being #4 on the list. Soon after being elected, for a short time he was unaffiliated, but then rejoined the parliamentary faction.

For the 2006 parliamentary elections he again ran on the party list from BYuT listed #4. Later Onopenko resigned as a parliamentary (People's Deputy of Ukraine) after being elected to chairman of the Supreme Court of Ukraine. At the end of 2006 his son-in-law replaced him as a leader of the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party.

Onopenko quit the Ukrainian Social Democratic Party after Nataliya Korolevska changed it to Ukraine – Forward! in 2012.

In 2012 parliamentary elections Onopenko ran as unaffiliated and unsuccessful.

Phoenix, the Southwest's favorite poster child for the plague of urban sprawl, has been sprawling for a lot longer than most people imagine―about 800 years.
The attraction for the Hohokam was a desert river that flowed year-round and a warm climate that spread harvests and the gathering of wild food throughout the year. When the civilization dissolved, the Hohokam left behind a lot to ponder ― architecture, rock art, pottery, jewelry, and the enormous, enigmatic platform mounds that the Hohokam built and expanded during their final 300 years in the Sonoran Desert.
Prehistoric petroglyphs pepper the hills and mountains ringing the city, although why the Hohokam chose to cluster them around certain sites is debatable. And scholars are still pursuing their meaning.
"One of our goals is to have people get comfortable with not having answers," says Peter Welsh, director of the Deer Valley Rock Art Center in northwest Phoenix. "The one thing we're fairly sure of is that it's not trivial―people make rock art with serious intent." Welsh ticks off the theories: the glyphs may be records of clan migrations, initiations, territory markers, or efforts to summon supernatural help. Whatever the petroglyphs represent, Deer Valley has the best collection near Phoenix: more than 1,500 glyphs were pecked into the basalt boulders.
The most astounding remnant of Hohokam architecture is the "Big House" at Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, 50 miles south of Phoenix. No one knows why the Hohokam built three- and four-story structures, although Casa Grande, the only one still standing, has openings in its walls that align with solstices and equinoxes. Solar calendars would have helped farmers stage their plantings and harvests, but the calendars wouldn't have needed to be in high-rises―unless this knowledge was protected as a shamanic secret.
In the desert northeast of Phoenix, the little-known Sears-Kay Ruin crowns a tall hill, raising the question that surrounds so many late pre-Columbian villages in the Southwest: did the Hohokam build for defense? A wall of boulders enclosed the 40-room compound, suggesting a defensive posture―but it would have been a long walk to the wash below for water, exposing the water carriers to ambush.
The current dispute in Southwestern archaeology is about prehistoric warfare. Harvard University archaeologist Steven A. LeBlanc believes that the cultures of the Southwest were engulfed in struggles over territory and natural resources for centuries, especially after 1200. He feels that natives had no choice; survival was on the line. "Just because we live in an era of senseless wars does not mean war was always senseless," LeBlanc writes in his 1999 book, Prehistoric Warfare in the American Southwest.
Still, some profoundly serious social reorganization occurred in the Hohokam heartland around 1200. This theory could help explain why there's a football field-size platform mound rising up to 15 feet high outside Bostwick's office at Pueblo Grande Museum.
Beginning around 1150, the Hohokam elevated structures in their villages by heaping dirt into enormous, honeycomb-like series of rectangular cells. They surrounded these platform mounds with walls of caliche, granite, and adobe mortar―apparently to restrict access―and then built adobe compounds on top.
Like other Southwestern cultures, Hohokam civilization collapsed long before Europeans arrived. The Akimel O'Odham and Tohono O'Odham, likely Hohokam descendants, were living a much simpler and less urbanized life by the time Spaniards reached today's Arizona in the 1500s. Archaeologists argue about the cause of the Hohokam society's collapse, imagining soil salinization, droughts, floods, warfare, and epidemics.
But the most likely reason is the simplest: the population outstripped the natural resources of the land. Imagine what 50,000 people harvesting firewood would do to the Salt River Valley's slow-growing stock of mesquite or to its small game animals. Archaeologists know from skeletal studies that the Hohokam suffered from malnutrition; their high-carbohydrate diet left them protein-starved.
Even in prehistoric times, the desert did not suffer urban sprawl gladly.

Researchers at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital have found a new link between low vitamin D levels and immune functioning in infants. These latest findings add to the now rapidly growing body of evidence suggesting that extra amounts of this vitamin, naturally obtained principally through sun exposure, may be needed by many of us to promote optimal health. Other studies have highlighted the importance of vitamin D in a number of critical health areas, including bone health, weight management, immune functioning, brain health, and even cancer and multiple sclerosis prevention.

A Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg a Duna–Ipoly Nemzeti Parkban található Vértes hegységben, Száron lévő egyik barlang.

Leírás

Szár külterületén, a Vértesi Natúrpark fokozottan védett területén, erdőben helyezkedik el a barlang. A Fáni-völgy K-i végét lezáró sorompótól a műúton Ny-ra, kb. 300 m-t haladva, a völgy É-i oldalában, 254 m tszf. magasságban, az úttól kb. 20 m relatív magasságban van a barlang bejárata. Aránylag nagy méretű, 2,3 m széles, 2,6 m magas, természetes jellegű, íves, vízszintes tengelyirányú bejárata sziklafalban kb. 3 m magasságban fekszik. Turistatérképeken jelölve van a barlang helye barlangjellel és nevének feltüntetésével.

A barlang egyetlen vízszintes, alagút jellegű szelvényű üregből áll. Befoglaló kőzete vastagpados triász fődolomit. Az üreg kifagyásos kőzetaprózódás és korrózió miatt jött létre. Falain, mennyezetén több helyen szép oldásformák, gömbüstök, korróziós lyukak jöttek létre. Néhány kis méretű borsókő is látható benne. Alja szálkő, melyet humusz, avar, valamint kőzettörmelék fed vékonyan. Rendszeres használatára utal a benne található friss tűzhelymaradvány, a falakon lévő koromnyomok, firkálások, és némi szemét. Muflonok nyoma szintén előfordul a barlangban. A nehezen járható (meredek) terepen megközelíthető, könnyen, utcai ruhában járható barlang megtekintéséhez nem szükséges engedély.

1979-ben volt először Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üregnek nevezve a barlang az irodalmában. Előfordul a barlang az irodalmában Fáni-völgyi 6.sz. barlang (Egri 2003), Fáni-völgyi 6.sz. üreg (Bertalan 1976), Fáni-völgyi-barlang (Kordos 1984) és Fáni-völgyi–barlang (Kocsis 1975) neveken is.

Kutatástörténet

Az 1962-ben kiadott, A barlangok világa című könyv szerint a Vértes hegységben lévő Fáni-völgyben, a pataktól 10–12 m-rel magasabban kis barlangok vannak. A Ferencvárosi Természetbarátok Sportköre Barlangkutató Csoportjának váltott tagokból álló egyik csoportja, melyet Horváth János vezetett, 1968-ban folytatta a Vértes hegység bejárását és a hegységben lévő barlangok háromsíkú felmérését. Ez a csoport a Fáni-völgyben felmért kilenc, részben korábban ismert (I–IX. jelzésű) sziklaüreget. Az FTSK Barlangkutató Csoport 1969. évi jelentése szerint Horváth János az 1968. tavaszi-őszi barlangfelmérések felhasználásával 1969-ben elkészítette a Fáni-völgy (Vértes hegység) 9 üregének térképét. A térképeken 1:100 méretarányban vannak bemutatva a barlangok.

A Kocsis Antal által írt, 1975-ben megjelent kiadványban az van írva, hogy a Fáni-völgyi–barlang (Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg) és a Fáni-völgyi–fülkesor (Fáni-völgyi 7. sz. üreg, Fáni-völgyi 8. sz. üreg) ugyanazon a völgyoldalon található. A Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üregnek a fülkesortól DK-re, 30 m-re, kissé lentebb, nagyrészt összefüggő dolomitsziklafalban 3 m magasan van a bejárata. A szabályosan kialakult, barlang típusú üreg 5,5 m hosszú, 2,6–4 m széles, magassága pedig 1,6–2,2 m között változik. Rétegesen repedezett a barlang fala, amelyen karsztvízszivárgás és lyukasan korrodált elváltozások vannak. Algatelepek, rovarok és pókszabásúak fordulnak elő az üregben. A kiadványban lévő térképmellékleten látható a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg földrajzi elhelyezkedése. A térképen 26-os számmal van jelölve a barlang.

Az 1976-ban befejezett, Magyarország barlangleltára című kéziratban az olvasható, hogy a Vértes hegységben, Száron helyezkedik el a Fáni-völgyi 6.sz. üreg. A barlang bejárata a Szár felé haladó sárga jelzésű turistaút elágazásától 310°-ra, kb. 750 m-re található. A völgy ÉK-i szikláiban van a barlang majdnem félköralakú bejárata. A barlang 5,5 m hosszú, 3,7 m széles és 2,3 m magas. A tág bejáratú, félbevágott tojás formájú barlangnak félgömbszerű, oldott kőzetfalai vannak. A kézirat barlangot ismertető része 1 irodalmi mű alapján lett írva.

Az Alba Regia Barlangkutató Csoport által 1979-ben készített kézirat szerint a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg (F6) az OKTH barlangleltárában, amelyben a Vértes hegység barlangjai között a 15. számú barlang, a fenti névvel van ismertetve. A Kocsis Antal által írt kiadványban Fáni-völgyi–barlang a barlang neve és 26-os a száma. Horváth János szpeleográfiai terepjelentésben ismertette az üreget. A barlang Szár szélén (Fejér megye, Bicskei járás) helyezkedik el. A barlang a Fáni-völgy ÉNy-i végén található útelágazástól az üzemi úton 1,1 km-t haladva közelíthető meg. A barlang a völgy ÉK-i oldalában, 240 m tszf. magasságban, a völgytalptól kb. 20 m-rel magasabban fekszik. Egy nagyrészt összefüggő sziklafalban 3 m magasan van a 2,3 m széles és 2 m magas barlangbejárat. A bejárat alatt két kis fa nőtt.

A vízszintes, száraz és tág sziklaodú befoglaló kőzete vastagpados triász fődolomit, melynek dőlése 360°/22°. A kőzet breccsás szerkezetű törései mentén. Kitöltése, mely néhány kődarabból, humuszból áll, valószínűleg vékony. Néha víz szivárog törései mentén. Alapvetően réteglapok mentén jött létre kettős törés, kifagyás, mállás és utólagos korrózió miatt. Korróziós eredetű kis lyukak, szép ívű, üstösen, simára oldott félformák figyelhetők meg benne. Néhány borsókő és rózsaszínű-vöröses falrészek láthatók a barlangban. Aljzatán régi és friss tüzelés nyomai egyaránt előfordulnak, falain pedig olvashatatlan firkálási nyomok észlelhetők. A barlangban néhol algásodás van. A helyi jelentőségű üreg néhány ember számára megfelel kellemes bivakhelynek. A barlang vízszintes kiterjedése 5,6 m, magassága pedig 2,3 m. Megtörtént a barlang azonosítása a helyszínen, leírása, felmérése, fényképezése. Kutatni morfológiai jelenségei miatt érdemes. Az üregben az Alba Regia Barlangkutató Csoport tagjai 1979. február 3-án, barlangkataszterező munka során jártak.

A csoport szerint a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreget a rendkívül zavaros és vázlatos leírás alapján nem lehet topográfiailag azonosítani. Valójában a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg nem létezik, illetve azonos a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreggel. Indoklás: 1. A csoport kétszer kereste fel a helyszínt, de alapos átvizsgálás után sem találták meg a barlangot. 2. A Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg DK-i irányból haladva tényleg (a barlangleltárban leírtak szerint) a Fáni-völgyi 8. sziklaeresz és a Fáni-völgyi 8/a sziklaeresz előtt, azokhoz közel található. 3. A Fáni-völgyi-barlang név Kocsis Antaltól származik, akinek leírásában az a 26. számú barlang, amely viszont biztosan azonosítható a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreggel. 4. A Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üregként leírt barlang méretei alig térnek el a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üregétől. 5. A barlangleltárban, a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg céduláján nincs hivatkozva sem a barlang másik nevére, sem Kocsis Antalra. Így Kocsis Antal szerzőként csak 7 db üregnél van említve, pedig 8 db (a csoport által is azonosított) üreget írt le. A hiányzó 1 leírás éppen az általa 26-os számmal jelölt Fáni-völgyi-barlang leírása. A tényeket összevetve a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg nem létezik, mert azonos a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreggel.

A kéziratba bekerült a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg alaprajz térképe, hosszmetszet térképe és 2 keresztmetszet térképe. A térképek 1:100 méretarányban ábrázolják a barlangot. Az alaprajz térkép használatához a térképlapon jelölve van az É-i irány. Az alaprajz térkép bemutatja az egyik keresztmetszet elhelyezkedését a barlangban. Az egyik keresztmetszet térképen a barlang bejárata van bemutatva. A térképek elkészítéséhez a barlangot Szolga Ferenc, Gönczöl Imréné, Koch Zoltán és Zentai Ferenc mérték fel 1979. február 4-én. A térképeket 1979. február 22-én rajzolta Szolga Ferenc. A kéziratban látható a Fáni-völgy térképe (kb. 1:10.000 méretarány). A térképen jelölve van az É-i irány. A térképen megfigyelhető a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg (a térképen: F6) földrajzi elhelyezkedése. A kéziratban van három olyan fénykép, amelyek szemléltetik a barlangot. Az első fényképen a barlang bejárata, a második fényképen a barlangból látható környezet, a harmadik fényképen pedig a barlang végén lévő törés van bemutatva. A fényképeket Zentai Ferenc készítette.

Az FTSK Barlangkutató Szakosztály 1980. évi jelentésében meg van említve, hogy a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg befoglaló kőzete, formája hasonló a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üregéhez és a Fáni-völgyi 1. sz. üregéhez. Az FTSK barlangkutató csoportja 1968. március 31-én mérte fel a Fáni-völgy üregeit. A Vértes hegység 1978-ban készült barlangkataszterében tagadva van a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg létezése, illetve az van írva, hogy a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg azonos a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreggel. Az 1980. évi MKBT Beszámolóban publikálva lett az 1980. évi csoportjelentés Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreget említő része.

Az 1984-ben kiadott, Magyarország barlangjai című könyv országos barlanglistájában szerepel a Vértes hegység barlangjai között a barlang Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg (Fáni-völgyi-barlang) néven. A listához kapcsolódóan látható a Dunazug-hegység barlangjainak földrajzi elhelyezkedését bemutató 1:500 000-es méretarányú térképen a barlang földrajzi elhelyezkedése.

A Béni Kornél és Viszló Levente által írt, 1996-ban napvilágot látott könyvben szó van arról, hogy 10 barlang van a Fáni-völgyben. A völgyben megfigyelhető sok barlang miatt a völgy a Kőlik-völgyhöz hasonló. Ugyanolyan dolomitbreccsa a felépítő kőzet is. A Fáni-völgyben lévő barlangok kialakulásának esetében is a fagyaprózódásos kimállás játszotta a főszerepet. A völgy üregeire jellemző a borsókő előfordulása és gyakran pirosas elszíneződésű falak vannak bennük. Ennek oka ismeretlen. Az üregek lényegében három helyen koncentrálódnak, de ezek közül kettő egymással szemben, a völgy É-i és D-i oldalán fekszik. A völgy mindegyik barlangja a kisebb méretű barlangok közé tartozik.

Az Alba Regia Barlangkutató Csoport 1997. évi évkönyvében közölve lett, hogy a Vértes hegység 1978-ban készült barlangkataszterében tagadva van a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg létezése, illetve az van írva, hogy a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg azonos a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreggel. 1997. október 12-én Szolga Ferenc és Harmath Zoltán a helyszínen megbizonyosodtak arról, hogy a Fáni-völgyi 9. sz. üreg és a Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg két különböző barlang.

A barlang 2003. május 1-jén, BTI kataszteri felvétel alapján készült nyilvántartólapja szerint a 4522-32 barlangkataszteri számú Fáni-völgyi 6. sz. üreg (Fáni-völgyi 6.sz. barlang, Fáni-völgyi-barlang) a Vértes hegységben lévő Száron (Fejér megye) található. Az üreg bejáratának koordinátái (Trimble Geoexplorer 3): X: 606318, Y: 235287, Z: 254. Hegyoldalon lévő sziklafalban, erdőben van a barlang 2,3 m széles, 2,6 m magas, természetes jellegű, íves alakú és vízszintes tengelyirányú bejárata. A részletesen felmért barlang 5,6 m hosszú, 2 m függőleges kiterjedésű, 2 m magas, 0 m mély és 5,6 m vízszintes kiterjedésű. Triász dolomitban húzódik az üreg. A barlang kialakulását előkészítette a tektonika és a rétegződés. Az üreg kifagyásos kőzetaprózódás és korrózió miatt jött létre.

A sziklaodú térformájú barlang vízszintes, és jellemző szelvénytípusa az alagút. Gömbüst és borsókő figyelhető meg az üregben. Szervetlen, helyben keletkezett törmelékkitöltése kőzettörmelékből áll. Talaj, humusz, avar, alga fordul elő benne. Növényevő nagyemlős látogatja az üreget. Az üreg antropogén maradványai: tüzelőhely, korom, hulladék, feliratok. Barlangleltári szám: 15. Tematikus feldolgozás: térkép, fénykép, kataszter, leírás. 1975-ben lett először említve a barlang az irodalomban (Kocsis Antal). A kissé megváltoztatott barlang ásványkiválásai gyakorlatilag érintetlenek, aljzata pedig taposott. A nehezen járható (meredek) terepen megközelíthető, könnyen járható barlang megtekintéséhez nem szükséges engedély. Illetékes természetvédelmi hatóság: Duna–Ipoly Nemzeti Park Igazgatóság. A barlang felszínének védettsége: Vértesi Tájvédelmi Körzet (19/1976. OTvH határozat).

Ex-Sistar member Hyorin strikes out solo
Published : Sept 10, 2017 - 14:05
Updated : Sept 10, 2017 - 14:05
(Hyorin's Instagram)
Hyorin, formerly of now-defunct K-pop act Sistar, has decided to go without an agency for now.
On Saturday evening, the singer posted a handwritten letter to her Instagram page explaining she plans to strike on her own as an independent artist, instead of following the footsteps of her former bandmates who have signed contracts with new agencies. Following Sistar's disbandment in May, Soyou and Dasom left the group's original label Starship Entertainment, while Bora moved to Hook Entertainment.
"I've been thinking about my future for a long time, and I wrote this letter to finally share how I plan to shape my musical career from now on," wrote Hyorin.
"For the past seven years, as a singer and Hyorin of Sistar, I was able to stand where I am right now thanks to Starship Entertainment and my Sistar bandmates. I will return with good music to repay them."
Hyorin also expressed that she feels both afraid and excited about her new future as she has to stand on her own two feet.
Following its 2010 debut, Sistar made its mark on the K-pop scene with hits such as "So Cool," "Loving U," "Give It to Me," "Touch My Body" and "Shake It." The group bid farewell to fans with its last single album "Lonely," on May 31.

The relationship between our land and people is crucial, particularly at a time when demographic, social, economic and environmental change is being experienced in rural areas across Scotland; from rural towns and their hinterlands, to coastal areas and islands. SEFARI research focuses on the resilience and wellbeing of Scotland's rural communities and provides vital support and a wider view for other SEFARI work on environment, land-based industries, food and health. SEFARI research is designed to help people living in and using the rural landscape; it helps identify policies which can enhance community wellbeing and resilience; and it considers the role of empowerment, local participation and democracy.

Does floodplain restoration help to reduce extremes of water availability and improve biodiversity?
Healthy, intact floodplains play an important role in mitigating extremes of water availability (droughts and floods) expected under climate change. Compared to other ecosystems, intact floodplains also support a disproportionately high biodiversity.
Taking the scenic (and sustainable) route - exploring public engagement strategies to decarbonise transport in UK national parks
The climate emergency presents a double challenge for public bodies as they reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and learn to adapt to the already changing climate.
Assessing the impact of different management interventions on perceived woodland benefits
The importance of ecosystems and biodiversity to human well-being is now well established as they provide benefits such as timber, pollination and coastal protection.
Comparing Biodiversity Predictions by People and Computer Models for Woodland Management
Combining local, contextualised knowledge with generalised, scientific knowledge is seen as best practice in decision making for biodiversity management. However, there is the potential for conflict if these two knowledges do not concur.
Going underground: testing the potential of citizen science and DNA to explore alpine soil biodiversity
Soil biodiversity is critical to ecosystem functioning, but our understanding of the richness and distribution of soil organisms lags far behind that of biodiversity above ground.
Nature-based Solutions – how should we plan and evaluate them?
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) have been defined many times, but these definitions can be summarised as "solutions to societal challenges that are inspired and supported by nature".
Ecosystem resilience – woodland establishment on heather moorland and carbon budgets
Woodland expansion is a key part of the Scottish and Westminster Governments' plans to meet net zero carbon emission targets by 2045 and 2050 respectively. Here, we use replicated experiments to study the changes that occurred on heather dominated moorland when birch and Scots pine were planted.
Recommendations for landscape-level adaptive management for ecological, economic, and social outcomes
Improving the management of Scotland's natural assets at a landscape-level for ecological, economic, and social outcomes is a priority for the Scottish Government and its partners.
The cost of peatland restoration in Scotland
Peatland restoration could make a considerable contribution in achieving national emission targets and is a vital part of Scotland's strategy in moving towards net zero emissions.
Not all roots are equal – so what?
Soil is, and always will be, a very valuable resource. Soil is critical for food production and regulating several services to the wider environment, such as flood regulation and storing carbon.

Spontaneous synchronization has long served as a paradigm for behavioral uniformity that can emerge from interactions in complex systems. When the interacting entities are identical and their coupling patterns are also identical, the complete synchronization of the entire network is the state inheriting the system symmetry. As in other systems subject to symmetry breaking, such symmetric states are not always stable. Here we report on the discovery of the converse of symmetry breaking–the scenario in which complete synchronization is not stable for identically-coupled identical oscillators but becomes stable when, and only when, the oscillator parameters are judiciously tuned to nonidentical values, thereby breaking the system symmetry to preserve the state symmetry. Aside from demonstrating that diversity can facilitate and even be required for uniformity and consensus, this suggests a mechanism for convergent forms of pattern formation in which initially asymmetric patterns evolve into symmetric ones.

Q: If possible--how to use an irc server (like gmail chat or facebook) to establish ssh connection between two hosts behind firewalls I have been looking around for a solution that implements this, but google always gives me tutorials on establishing a live chat over an ssh tunnel--not the other way around.
I suspect this can be implemented just using tunnels (if it is possible at all), but I am not sure how.
I am sorry if this has been asked, but after looking through the related questions, but I have not been able to find one that I can be sure will work for my particular needs (i.e. I cannot create an ssh session directly with gmail.com etc.) If I am wrong, please just post a link to the applicable question.

A: If you can establish connections between peers via your IRC channel, then there is a solution.

*

*Don't try to fiddle with IRC itself, but build a solution on top of it.

*Use ssh yourself on top of IRC.

*I mean create a SSH/SSL connection to a dummy socket you can use to intercept the data sent by SSH. Transform this data (if necessary) to make it transportable via IRC. And send it to the remote peer via IRC.

*On the remote peer, intercept your data, un-transform it before giving it to your ssh/ssl connection listener. And proceed the same way to send response.

*If the connection is successful ssh will tell you and your can start pouring your data through this secure 'channel'.

Your data going via IRC will be safe, because ssh is.

We're all aware of the developmental process children go through from birth to young adulthood. Many of us, however, don't carefully consider the ways in which we continue to develop and grow throughout the lifespan, into our greatest years of wisdom in later life. That process of growth and development is a natural one, and happens with or without our participation. With our participation, we can create a depth of meaning for our lives that allows for us to thrive in our strengths and gifts.
Sometimes, unexpected and difficult events speed that development along in ways that we struggle to handle. Often, we become concerned about symptoms of anxiety and depression, when those may simply be a sign that we are growing more fully into our true selves. When we change, it is always in the direction of our own growth. The unfamiliarity of the new ways in which we relate to the world with newly acquired skills can be disorienting, and can affect the dynamics of our relationships.
Our therapists support you in the process of coming fully into your best self. This can happen either through your own increased desire to participate fully in your own evolution, or when you've experienced a life event that has sped things up in ways challenging to keep up with. Madison is a community that fully supports the type of positive change we at Westside believe occurs for all of us as we travel through life. Allow us to support you to make the most of your life experiences and become your best self.

This is a remarkable book. I came to it fresh as someone who has not read much JKG and found it's message amazingly timely: It would not be a stretch to say the book predicts the recent financial upheavals. I found the satire deliciously acidic at times and nicely sustained - no one expects JKG to have a full-time novelist's top-to-bottom polish, and he doesn't, but I still found it a delightful read.
This quote about sums it up: "Tenure was originally invented to protect radical professors, those who challenged the accepted order. But we don't have such people anymore at the universities, and the reason is tenure. When time comes to grant it nowadays, the radicals get screened out. That's its principal function. It's a very good system, really -- keeps academic life at a decent level of tranquillity."
This book was a fun bit of satire on the markets in the late 80s and early 90s. It suffered particularly from clunky writing at times and problems with timeline and flashbacks. A quick read.
This must have been very funny when it was written, but reading it now, after its most outrageous predictions about "irrationality" in the stock market and our inability to legislate PACs have come to pass, it's uncannily prescient but not amusing. The fact that it's so smart makes me want to read some of his economic tomes. It's a shame he died before the current "behavioral economics" revolution.
I had to let this one go. I thought it would be a sarcastic peek into academia, and it is thatbut it's also really fiction for economists at its core, and if you don't remember anything about your econ classes from college, much of it makes no sense at all. Too bad. If I were going to recommend a good book about the university tenure race, I would recommend "MOO" by Jane Smileya book that made me laugh out loud!
Published in 1990, this book is not "timeless." I should have known how dated it would be when I read the following in the preface: "As this book goes to press, the President and the Congress of the United States are contemplating reform as regards Political Action Committees, the PACs. Whatever the outcome, the solution here offered is preferred." Let's just say that Galbraith's "solution" did not prevail.
Very cute. Satirical. Enjoyable. Quick romp through Harvard and through US economics of the 80s.My only real question is how come this was a new [hardback] book at my public library when it was published 25 years ago. I looked to see if it had been re-published, but didn't see where it had.It reminded me a lot of one of my favorites, "The Rosie Project," but wasn't nearly so good.
A short satire written by the noted Keynesian economist Galbraith that pokes fun at two of my favorite topics for lampooning: academic snobbery and investment folly. You can tell Galbraith isn't a novelist at heart, but he manages to keep the plot moving anyhow.
This book foresaw the coming of behavioral investing. Very cleverly written although the marriage relationship of the main characters are just sketches; it seems that the author wanted to do something about it, but in the end gave up and left it in its unfinished form.
Surprisingly funny and brutally honest look at wealth and power among the American elite during the Reagan era that (unfortunately) could have been written today. And you do NOT need knowledge of economics nor academia to appreciate Galbraith's satirical genius.
Really liked the one-liners about academia. Did not understand most of the economics lingo.
This book had been on my list forever. Economics, politics and finance are not my favorite topics. But what an interesting story of the greedy protecting their flanks.
Great start and premise. I enjoyed the tone and the characters. But to truly enjoy this book, one must need to also enjoy economics and finance, neither of which are my cup of tea.
Academic satire. Mildly funny. A great book for economics fans, especially those with ties to academia.
Reminded me of a Christopher Buckley book smart, sarcastic commentary of academia that is still completely relevant today.

Could cloud acquisitions send the Alibaba share price sky high?
China's anti-monopoly crackdown has weighed heavily on the Alibaba [BABA] share price in 2021 thus far. the Alibaba share price is down 7.7% in the year to date, closing at $214.76 at the close on 15 July. Furthermore, it has fallen 21.7% from its 2021-high of $274.29, recorded in February and 32.7% from its all-time high of $319.32, set on 27 October 2020.
In mid-April, Beijing regulators levelled an RMB18.2bn fine at the Chinese e-commerce titan, accusing it of anti-monopoly violations. This led to it reporting its first quarterly loss since going public in 2014.
RMB18.2billion
Valuation of Alibaba's fine from Beijing regulators
Alibaba accepted the fine and vowed that it will change. But while there is optimism that the stock can make a comeback in the long term, the near-term impact on the Alibaba share price hasn't been pretty. Since the fine was issued the stock has fallen further, recording a 52-week low of $198.26 on 8 July.
As with many of the other US-listed Chinese big tech stocks, the Alibaba share price has continued to drop due to geopolitical tensions between the two countries and the threat of stocks being delisted.
Head in the cloud
Of course, Alibaba can't control what further crackdowns might come in the future, but it can continue to diversify its business away from e-commerce.
One segment that appears to be going from strength to strength is its cloud business. For the third quarter, 2021, Alibaba reported that Alibaba Cloud had turned profitable.
Towards the end of last year, its year-over-year growth was outpacing that of Amazon [AMZN] Web, however. Cloud growth did slow in Q4 2021 due to the loss of a major customer — identified by Nikkei Asia as TikTok owner ByteDance – but there are reasons for optimism.
Alibaba is reportedly one of a number of parties linked with the purchase of a $7.7bn stake in cloud computing infrastructure firm Unisplendour [000938.SZ]. According to Reuters, Tsinghua Unigroup Co is seeking to sell its 46.45% stake in Unisplendour due to debt issues — the former was one of the biggest defaulters in China in 2020.
There's no information as to why Alibaba is eyeing up the acquisition or what it'll mean for the business if it goes ahead, but it's undoubtedly a sign that Alibaba is looking to strengthen its cloud segment.
Attempting an acquisition amid China's crackdown on big tech may seem a bit risky but Alibaba will have been buoyed by the regulators approving Tencent's [TCEHY] buyout of China's second-largest search engine Sogou [SOGO]. The two will combine to make a super game-streaming platform.
Diversification is food for thought
Away from the cloud, the online grocery business, including online food delivery, is expected to be a key driver for the Alibaba share price.
Vincent Yu, senior analyst at Needham, believes the stock is an attractive buy and has set the Alibaba share price a target of $330, which implies a 58% increase from its 13 July closing price.
In a note to clients seen by Benzinga, Yu said Alibaba's recent restructuring of operations to combine digital mapping platform Autonavi, online travel business Fliggy, and local services platform Ele.me, will help Alibaba to go head to head with on-demand local services and food delivery giant Meituan [3690.HK].
Another tailwind, noted Yu, is the speed of Ele.me merchant onboarding, which has been increased due to diminishing competition. This has come about as a result of antitrust regulators stopping food delivery operators from forcing merchants to sign exclusivity contracts.
"While the regulatory environment is challenging, we think the worst period is over for Alibaba and further downside [for the Alibaba share price] is limited," said Yu.
"While the regulatory environment is challenging, we think the worst period is over for Alibaba and further downside [for the Alibaba share price] is limited" - Vincent Yu, senior analyst at Needham
Given the ongoing uncertainty about further crackdowns from Beijing, it's unsurprising that some of the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold Alibaba have been trading at or around their lowest price for a year. For example, the KraneShares CSI China Internet ETF [KWEB] has a dismal year-to-date return of -20.54% — the fund has assigned Alibaba a 9.23% weighting.
The iShares MSCI China ETF [MCHI] has a daily total return of -4.4% and Alibaba has been allocated 13.2% of its total assets.
ETFs in which Alibaba has a less heavy weighting and take a more global approach offer better returns. Invesco RAFI Strategic Emerging Markets ETF [ISEM] has returned 10.2% so far this year and the SPDR Global Dow ETF [DGT] has returned 16.6%.


The easiest possible way of telling the app where it is running will be in Web.config. There is already a bunch of custom setting in there, so why not just have one more. When the time comes based on the Environment information we can decide if we will still spit out single un-minified files for a development environment or serve one minified file for lightning fast production performance.
So, the idea with the helper is: we use it to include every single file that we need on our page. When it knows that we are on Production it will replace imports with one, plus potentially minify it and compress. So I created a class called JSHelper.
So, as you can see it will also eliminate potential errors of including the same JS file twice.
Now to solve next problem. The JSHelper needs to be a single instance per Web Request. It needs to be as it holds the state of all the files to be imported. Having a static means that it is shared across all web requests, not good. It has to be an instance for a every server thread. Controllers are save place for our helper to be, plus they can put stuff to a ViewData. As you might or not be aware this is accessible in aspx View template.
This code will create new instance of JSHelper and put it into your ViewData for usage. Because we also extend MVC.NET base class we can have JSHelper accessible in every View we got in the application.
So, the example of a View with JSHelper looks like this.
Now we can put into use our Web.config file and change IncludeAllJs method to serve files based on environment we are in. Not posting implementation as it could be achieved in many ways.
So, when we are serving JS on production environment we can serve one single file prepared before as a deployment task or we can dynamically prepare it by pointing web browser to another controller that will combine all the files and minified it on a flight.

Posing for a wedding photo with the black and white concealed underneath your jacket and shirt, going for a day of hard graft and wearing your colours with pride, running the New York marathon with the Bianconero there for all to see.
We've come to expect such fantastic support from our fans but yesterday's birthday wishes, tributes, selfies and celebrations on Twitter and Instagram via the hashtag #JuventusDay in honour of our first national holiday, underlined the true depth, strength and passion of the Bianconeri family.
But it wasn't just the grandest gestures that caught our eye, after all, as establised by the Juventus Nation constitution, every citizen is welcomed to support their team anyway they can.
From opportune photos with J, to getting the whole family together in their Juve Sunday best, yesterday was an occasion to be cherished by Old Lady followers of all shapes and sizes.
So, you may have seen your respective news feeds painted black and white over the last 24 hours and in that, you certainly weren't alone.
On Twitter alone, the numbers were staggering: with an estimated 278 million potential impressions, 30,953 examples of the #JuventusDay hashtag from 17,080 unique users and a spot among Italy's top trending topics for a total of nine hours, you certainly made your voices heard.
The story was much the same over on Instagram as a remarkable 11,000 images were captured, filtered and published on the world's premier photo-based social network. As for Facebook, well, the 35 million Juventus Day content views, 22,000 comments, 439,000 likes and 50,000 shares speak for themselves.
To Bianconeri everywhere, we thank you all once more for a 118th birthday to remember. Fino Alla Fine, Forza Juve.
