White trumpeter swans make an impressive comeback
by Caitlin Williamson | Apr 9, 2016 | Wildlife | 0 comments
Wisconsin has an astounding number of adult white trumpeter swans. These animals are the largest native waterfowl species in North America, and they're quite the sight—beautiful white birds that stand five feet tall and weigh up to 35 pounds. As their name suggests, one sure way to know you are around a trumpeter swan is if you hear their loud trumpeter call.
While the species may be thriving now, it has not always been that way. In the late 1880s, market hunting and demand for their beautiful feathers almost brought white trumpeter swans to extinction. Twenty years ago, Wisconsin had a mere 75 individuals. The Wisconsin DNR and other organizations worked relentlessly for years to raise the species up to more than 200 breeding pairs by 2009, at which point it was removed from the state's endangered species list. By 2010 the population had seemingly taken off, reaching 672 individuals.
However, this was just the beginning of a great comeback story. Sumner Matteson and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources have recently conducted studies using aerial transects (surveys done by air over certain geographic areas) to show that the state's current estimated trumpeter swan population is at an incredible 4,695 individuals.
A Herculean effort for trumpeter swans
Matteson first got involved in the project in the late 1980s. He was originally directed by his then-Nongame Section Chief, Randy Jurewicz, and former Endangered Resources Bureau Director Ron Nicotera to write a trumpeter swan recovery plan. They completed the plan in 1986, and Matteson began coordinating recovery efforts for the state. The Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin helped to fund the project, which is today regarded as one of the most successful conservation recovery projects in the state's history.
Between 1989 and 1997, biologists from Wisconsin, including Matteson, flew to Minto Flats in Alaska, a half-a-million-acre refuge that is the nesting area for the largest group of wild trumpeter swans in North America. There, they collected 385 swan eggs. Matteson says that each egg was four and a half inches long,three inches wide, off-white in color and weighed about a pound.

"The WCC plane was a Cessna Citation 560 twin-engine jet," Matteson says. "I think we flew at around 35,000 feet. The Citation's passenger cabin was compact and comfortable–I could touch both sides of the cabin with the wingspan of my arms, but could not stand."
Matteson also recalls the striking views he was able to catch a glimpse of on the first part of this journey:
"The flight over the Rocky Mountains was spectacular, with its snow-covered peaks, and the trip toward Juneau was equally stunning, as we had clear views of the long, immense tongues of glaciers. In all, the flight to Fairbanks took about nine hours, with our landing in Fairbanks near midnight local time. But this was the land of the midnight sun, so it was twilight when we landed. Landing at Fairbanks, Terry Kohler taxied the Citation jet to a parking area and shut down the engines. All of a sudden three police vehicles arrived on the scene with their sirens blaring and lights flashing. Travelling with us was Joe Johnson, head of Michigan's Trumpeter Swan Program. He exclaimed: 'They think we're drug smugglers!' As it turned out, the plane was parked in the wrong spot and was pointed in the wrong direction," says Matteson.
Even after the long flight, there was no rest for the weary.
"The morning of the collection day, I remembered conflicting advice from friends about how big a meal I should eat before going up in an Alaskan bush plane. I chose a small breakfast: one lonely hash brown potato and a glass of orange juice. I promptly lost that within the first 30 minutes of what turned out to be a 13-hour egg-collection trip!" Matteson says.
Although that could be described as a less-than-ideal first day, the researchers were finally doing what they came to do: collecting eggs of a dwindling species. Special precautions had to be taken to ensure the safety of the precious eggs, so the researchers used padded suitcases.
"The timing of the trip was important because we wanted to collect the eggs when they were 20 to 25 days old—an older age when the embryos should travel well and survive the long flight to Milwaukee. But the real concern that gripped our minds was two-fold: not overheating the eggs, but making sure also that they weren't becoming too cool," Matteson says.
The trumpeter swan comeback
The vast majority of the eggs the researchers collected hatched at the Milwaukee County Zoo and were placed in two release programs: decoy-rearing and captive-rearing. During 1989 through 1997, the group collected 385 trumpeter swan eggs, of which 356 (93 percent) hatched, an improvement over the wild hatch rate of 60 to 80 percent.
In 1993, NRF members participated in the decoy-rearing program as part of a Foundation field trip.
Many of the researchers experienced doubt from others that the project could succeed. Becky Abel, the UW-Madison graduate student who was in charge of the decoy-rearing program, says she remembers being told that she would be "killing all of those swans" because they wouldn't migrate without a parent to lead them south.
It wasn't until the year 2000 that breeding pairs in the wild became well-established–despite the threats of shooting, lead poisoning and power line collisions–and then increased markedly to their present number. Matteson claims the population is now stable (and in fact continuing to grow), so there's no need to augment the population through additional means.
Matteson describes how conservation strategies have evolved to create such a rise in population number:
"Conservation strategies over time emphasized an increasing educational awareness program to inform hunters about the difference between swans and geese, but the marked increase in statewide numbers mirrored a regional population explosion in trumpeters as they occupied wetland habitats, successfully produced young and completed successful migrations," says Matteson.

When the swan population finally stabilized, Matteson recalls feeling relieved. "I was absolutely elated and full of gratitude toward the many public and private partners who had taken the risk and put in the time to make the program successful," Matteson says.
The project has shifted from conservation and recovery strategies to a monitoring phase with statewide aerial surveys every five years now that the population is no longer endangered. These aerial surveys focus on three populations based on where they breed and winter. The Pacific Coast population includes largely Alaskan birds that winter along the coasts of British Columbia and Washington. The Rocky Mountain population is composed of two sub-populations: the Canadian flock of Alberta and northwestern Canada that migrates to Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, and secondly a year-round resident flock of U.S. birds from that same tri-state area. The final population is the interior population, including all restoration-project trumpeters east of the Rocky Mountains.
Researchers conducted the last Wisconsin aerial surveys in mid-May of 2015. The resulting trumpeter swan breeding population estimate was 4,695 individuals.
"The public continues to embrace trumpeters as part of our natural heritage once lost and now restored," Matteson says.

Fleshgod Apocalypse Picks Your Poison (Nuclear Blast Records, May 24, 2019)
May just kept getting better for us. Well… for the Klown at least because another one of his favorites returned with their highly anticipated fifth album, Veleno. Although two unexpected departures happened about two years ago, Francesco Paoli traded his tubs for a 6-string and a return to the vocals since the band's 2009 debut LP, Oracles.
The album starts out really strong with "Fury" and sounded like something that came from King. It is then preceded by the album's current hits "Carnivorous Lamb" and "Sugar." The Klown enjoyed "Carnivorous Lamb," the track starts off somewhat melodic with sounds reminiscent to that of bagpipes and transitions to some fast-paced death metal that is infused with Veronica Bordacchin's iconic operatic vocals. This song's chorus line, however, is solely dominated by bassist/vox Paolo Rossi and Francesco Ferrini classical piano.
"Monnalisa" tones down and has "The Praying Mantis' Strategy" serve as its intro for a brilliant one-two combo. "Monnalisa" made the Klown smile even more when he heard the bitchin' guitar solo from Paoli which was accompanied by Bordacchini's vocals. One of the Klown absolute favorites was "Absinthe"and not just because it's a drink but also because it was well balanced. It was technical and erratic but also had room for its iconic piano score and manages to smoothly incorporate Bordacchini and Rossi's vocals to the chorus. "Absinthe" finishes up with a guitar solo and picks up the tempo for a grand finale.
"Pissing on the Score" was a great song that begins with Ferrini's exquisite opening which catalysis an immediate breakdown. Bordachinni takes the lead with her mezzo-soprano vocals in a duet "The Day We'll Be Gone," her voice even dominated Paoli's screaming vocals. Seeing as how Rammstein was a topic of conversation in the previous review, the Italian collective paid homage to them by closing out with a cover of "Reise, Reise" which they made their own. As you can all see, the Klown really loved this album and could basically go on and on. If you haven't checked it out yet, do so you'll get Oracles, King and Agony combined in one.
6 out of 6, "I Forge the Soundtrack of Your Decay"
Death Angel Issue the Soundtrack of Demise (Nuclear Blast Records, May 31, 2019)
What else can the Klown say about one of the OGs of the Bay Area Thrash scene that he hasn't said before? The Klown can only surmise this record to one word, "unwavering" because he can't really think of an actual adjective, adverb or verb to best describe Humanicide. The quintet's latest release picks up even more than the previous The Evil Divide. It's not a bad thing but it does showcase an evolution of sorts that Death Angel has demonstrated since their comeback in 2004. Unlike the previous album, this current installment doesn't let up. What does the Klown mean? Good news to those who hate ballads, there are none in this album. Hooray?
The album opens with the title track and features Rob Cavestany's wailing guitar and Damien Sisson's bass before it's accompanied with Mark Osegueda's unforgettable vocals. "Divine Defector" not only picks up more speed but also adds more aggression to the mix. The style carries and settles down a tad with "Aggressor" and picks right up again with "I Came For Blood." After a span of 18 years, rhythm guitarist Ted Aguilar finally gets a song of his own called "Alive & Screaming," and after hearing that track, the Klown is hoping that Aguilar gets more input. Yes, it was an awesome song. The album closes with "The Days I Walked Away" which was not only slow but felt like a fitting end. The Klown definitely recommends you check out the album especially if you fancy yerselves thrashers.
6 out of 6 "Tell You What is I Need. Brace Yourself, You Won't Believe."
Darkthrone Gives Us the Sounds Old as Gold (Peaceville Records, May 31, 2019)
Over two years ago, the Klown had the good graces of reviewing Arctic Thunder. It. Was. Beautiful. Sure, "Thundra Leech" was overshadowed by the Metallica single that same August day but the Klown digresses and so did most, if not all, of the trves. Either way, we were the winners since it came out a month before Hardwired… To Self-Destruct. This year, Darkthrone overwhelmed the Klown's ears and whatever remnants of his heart are left. This May kicked major ass and to sign off on it, Darkthrone's latest Old Star, joined the fray.
The best way to describe this album's concept: old is new. From the moment "I Muffle Your Inner Choir" begins it takes you back to the early '90s where it all began in Norway. Which was then followed by the band's current single "The Hardship of the Scots," which incorporates some doom elements to the mix which can be said about the majority of the album. The album gains momentum again with "Duke of Gloat" and wraps up with "The Key is Inside the Wall." Plain and simple, it was a great album. This record gave both old and new listeners a newfound sense of appreciation and respect for Darkthrone. They continue to pioneer the misunderstood and chaotic black metal subgenre.
6 out of 6 "Click your Shit Boots Together. We are Not in Hell Anymore"

America is doomed, part 414: millions of armed individuals may revolt if Trump doesn't win in 2024
That's the short version; here's a longer excerpt:
If armed violence erupts the 2024 elections, quelling it could fall to the U.S. military, which may be reluctant to take arms against U.S. citizens. In that case, the fate of the nation might well be decided by a simple fact: a big subset of one of the two parties has for years been systemically arming itself for this very reason.
"I hope it's just too crazy to happen here," says Erica De Bruin, an assistant professor of government at Hamilton College, who studies coups around the world. "But it's now in the realm of the plausible"....
[T]he small newspapers in the rural, red-state areas that are the core of the Republican party's rank and file are giving voice to a simpler picture: Politics are dead; it's time to fight. "Wake up America!" reads a September opinion piece excoriating Democrats in The Gaston Gazette, based in Gastonia, N.C. "The enemy is at our gates, God willing it is not too late to turn back the rushing tide of this dark regime." The piece goes on to quote Thomas Paine's exhortation to colonists to take up arms against the British. "We are in a civil war," a letter published in September in The New Mexico Sun likewise warns Republicans, "between the traditional Americans and those who want to impose socialism in this country and thus obtain complete government control of its citizens"....
Gallup found that half of all Republicans own guns, nearly three times the rate of gun ownership as among Democrats. Gun owners are overwhelmingly male and white and are more likely to live in the rural south than anywhere else. Those demographics mesh neatly with the hard-core segment of the Republican party....
What might lead to large-scale armed threat or even violence around the 2024 elections? There may be only one narrow path to avoiding it: A comfortable, incontestable win by Trump, assuming he's the Republican candidate. Democrats might despair at the loss, but it's not likely that they will go into mass protests against what could be seen as a legitimate election win.
But if Trump loses, by any margin, and is unable to overturn the results through legal or political means, it seems likely Republicans will declare the election fraudulent. In 2020, the conviction—against all evidence—that Trump had the presidency stolen from him brought an insurrectionist mob to the U.S. Capitol. The mob was mostly unarmed, undoubtedly thanks to Washington D.C.'s strict gun-control laws....
In 2024, that sort of mob, which will have been fed for four years on false claims of a "Big Steal" and exhortations to fight back against tyranny, will likely be far, far larger. If gun-control laws are weakened by the Supreme Court, they will also likely be heavily armed. In addition to Washington, D.C., the ACLED report found that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Oregon face the largest risk of armed uprisings in contested elections, followed by North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, California, and New Mexico....
Whatever the circumstances that might bring on large-scale protests from Democrats in 2024, their presence in the streets could bring out armed Republican counter-protesters bent on protecting Trump's nominal win and, in their minds, defending democracy against left-wing mobs. "It's a fair concern that If Trump called on them to come out and suppress the mobs, they might respond," says Lindsay Cohn, associate professor of national security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College....
If police can't or won't deal with an armed uprising, the last hope for a peaceful resolution would probably be the National Guard and military. Only the governor can call out the National Guard in a state, and only the president can deploy the military. To send in the military to quell disturbances on U.S. soil, the president must invoke the Insurrection Act, last used in 1992 by then-President George H. W. Bush to help restore order during the Los Angeles riots....
The National Guard or military would almost certainly prevail in shutting down the worst of the violence and protecting the government. But two key questions arise: Would military leadership accept Biden's orders to deploy against an armed uprising? And if it did, would the rank and file follow their commanders' orders to take up arms against fellow Americans whose motivations might resonate with many of their own?...
As for the possibility that the Guard or military rank and file might refuse to follow orders to take up arms against armed Trump supporters, the Naval War College's Cohn deems it unlikely. "There isn't a ton of evidence that the rank and file are solidly behind Trump," she says. "But whatever their beliefs, they're highly professional. No more than a tiny percentage would refuse."

Don Shadow | distinct vision.
For those in the Horticultural industry there are few men as well known or as respected as Mr. Don Shadow from Winchester, TN(shown above with Taxodium dis. "Falling Waters"). His status is legendary as are the many stories, new plant introductions and animals under his care. I have been fortunate to have know Don my whole life (our families have know each other through the industry for four generations). Outside of working at our family nursery from a very early age Don was my first mentor and employer in Horticulture. He instills in everyone he meets a passion for the new and useful plants he is constantly bring back from around the world as well as plants that have been available for years. I have as much respect and admiration for Don as anyone I have ever met. He is truly a Renaissance man from East Tennessee. I am copying an article from Horticulture Magazine written by his good friend Paul Cappiello of Yew Dell Gardens in Oldham County, KY.
With just one step into the office, it's obvious that you're not in just any old nursery. Sure, there's the usual clutter, the endless stacks of tags, catalogs, invoices, and a few odd flats and pots. The dirt clods on the floor, the grafting knife on the sill, and the half-eaten breakfast on the desk wouldn't be out of place in any nursery in Mobile, Minneapolis, or Monterey. But a quick second look at that desk provides an immediate clue to the uniqueness of the surroundings. There, in the middle of the piles of paper, sits a journal with the following name:Swine Taxonomy. That's pigs, folks, not some newly discovered family of cold-hardy begonias!
The proprietor of this Serling-inspired bit of incongruity is the legendary Don Shadow, proprietor of the wholesale Shadow Nursery, acquirer and grower of the most diverse and numerous life's collection of horticultural holy grails, a man with a nose for rare plants, a Pachydermic memory, and a Tennessee twang so sharp it could slice the shine off the mornin' dew.
Shadow is known around the world as one of the most connected of plantsmen and as the most active acquirer of unusual plants. The letters strewn across his desk come from across town and around the globe. People write with pictures of possible introductions."Send cuttings, send seed," he responds. They write for advice on what to do with a new plant that's been discovered in some remote swamp or hollow. "Send cuttings, send seed," he responds. They write looking for the rarest of the rare and the oddest of the odd. "I've got cuttings, I've got seed," he responds.
Shadow's nose for rare plants is so great that he's been known to pluck them out of thin air. On a trip to Japan, during dinner with a few skittish Japanese nurserymen, he inquired as to the location of their weeping Acer buergerianum. The locals tossed accusatory looks at each other, and then, after a long, uncomfortable pause, one of them got up and led him to the great find, never knowing that Shadow had made up the plant. He had never seen, heard, or read of it. He just had a feeling.
The Shadow Nursery booth during trade shows never fails to draw a crowd to see what the master thinks to be his most special new acquisitions—a weeping this, a variegated that, and often a young grandson or two, to boot. At lectures, he is virtually unstumpable. At one talk by the equally unredoubtable Dr. Mike Dirr, Shadow stood in the back of the room, half listening and half talking to others. Upon Dirr's brief description of a plant that he'd met in an English garden, without Shadow's ever looking at the screen, that unmistakable piercing twang rose up from among the masses with the answer: Orixa japonica 'Variegata'! There were no other guesses from the crowd.
And then there are the animals. The Damara zebras, red pandas, blue-tongued skinks, and sugar gliders at Shadow Nursery command as much, if not more, attention than do the plants. Shadow rises long before the crack of dawn to check the facilities, which rival those of many well-known zoos, and feed the tenants. His wife, Mary, would say that the only time Don sits down is to watch an occasional Sunday afternoon wild-animal show on PBS. Most of his forays across the nursery involve at least several stops to inspect a fence, check a newborn, or just sit and take in the view of one of his favorite subjects. And no tour would be considered complete without a visit to Shadow's beloved Mr. Ed, an apparently 12 billion–pound water buffalo that, when called by name, comes crashing across the field and skids to a thunderous halt at the master's feet—for a pat on the head and a kiss on the nose.
And so it is with this Tennessee farm boy. Be it his animals or his plants, he uses a caring touch and an appreciative eye to preserve and share the best, the rarest, and the most sublime.
Here are some pictures from my most recent trip to see Don.
A new variegated Rohdea japonica brought back from a collecting trip to Japan. Note that even the fruit is variegated. Very unusual.
This is an as of yet unnamed seedless double Hibiscus syriacus.
This is a new weeping and cut leaf Acer saccharinum 'Born's Gracious'.
New Callicarpa americana. This has not been named or introduced yet. Look at the size of the fruit compared to my lens cap!
This is Don showing how strong the stems are on the new Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' out of the Netherlands. This plant is more or less a much stronger stemmed version of 'Limelight'. This is a new Hydrangea cultivar with tons of potential.
Here are some of the animals that Don has in breeding programs. Many of what he has are extremely rare and endangered; some of which no zoo in America have. Just like the plants Don's real passion and goal is not as a collector but as a conservationist.

Schreiben Sie den ersten Kommentar zu "The Taming of the Shrew".
The Taming of the Shrew is a wonderful comedy written by a prominent English playwright William Shakespeare. We observe a story of a courtship of a generous nobleman Petruchio to a proud, self-willed Katherina. Only he knows what is hidden inside the disobedience of this shrewish girl.
This comedy wasn't published while Shakespeare was alive, and for the first time it appeared in the post-mortem publication in 1623. This funny, playful, mischievous and insightful story about shrewish Katherina has been performed in the theatres for about four centuries already.

Richard also appeared in two Carry On films, playing a cameo role in Carry On Matron and a supporting part in Carry On Girls.
Very sorry to learn about her death. I enjoyed her character in "Are You Being Served." Another sad loss. The roles she played and the person she was are part of a Britain that is gone.
Yup. She was quite talented.

Q: input() e raw_input() Segundo a documentação do Python 2.x, recomenda-se o uso da função raw_input ao invés da input. De forma contrária, na documentação do Python 3.x, a função raw_input nem mesmo aparece. Então será que a função input no Python 3.x substitui a função raw_input?

A: Sim, o input do Python 3.x é o raw_input do Python 2.x. Essa mudança pode ser encontrada no changelog da versão 3.0:

PEP 3111: raw_input() was renamed to input(). That is, the new input() function reads a line from sys.stdin and returns it with the trailing newline stripped. It raises EOFError if the input is terminated prematurely. To get the old behavior of input(), use eval(input()).

Para mais detalhes, veja a PEP 3111.

A: No Python 2 existem as funções input e raw_input, mas a primeira raramente é usada porque ela só aceita literais sintaticamente válidos, ou seja, números, ou strings entre aspas, etc. A função raw_input é muito mais útil: ela aceita qualquer string, e fica sendo sua responsabilidade lidar com ela.
No Python 3 a função raw_input passou a se chamar input, e a velha função input praticamente inútil foi removida.
No Python 3 aconteceram várias "limpezas" deste tipo.

We consider the places where man has left his mark on the planet and then conduct the necessary research to identify locations (and the corresponding geo-coordinates) to convey that idea.
In honor of Australia Day - the country's national holiday celebrated annually on January 26th - we wanted to share this breathtaking Overview of Bondi Beach in Sydney. One of the city's most popular destinations, the beach gets its name from the Aboriginal word "Bondi" that means waves breaking over rocks.
Today we are doing a feed takeover for @theworldpost with a selection of Overviews from around the globe, including this one of Bourtange. This Dutch "star fort" was built in 1593 during the Eighty Years' War when William I of Orange wanted to control the only road between Germany and the city of Groningen. Star forts were constructed in the manner you see here so that an attack on any of its five walls could be aggressively counteracted from the two adjacent star points.
On cold, rainy day here in New York City, we're dreaming about the overwater bungalows of the Intercontinental Bora Bora Resort in French Polynesia. Situated on a coral island, guests stay in one of 83 villas with private pontoons where they can relax and take in the sun.

Busy B's Bakery | Who's Cooking for Kacey?
Cake Balls: Love Them or Leave Them?
I've noticed that these tiny balls of icing, cake, and chocolate coating can spark quite strong feelings in consumers. Some love that their icing/cake combination is unique to the cupcake and others would not choose them if they were the only dessert on the table. They have the potential to be a little extra moist in the center and this has been known to turn off the texture sensitive.
Busy B's Cake Balls ("Bites")....they are round and "ball" sure seems to describe them better, so I'm using it. Flavors featured are Italian Cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Raspberry Almond.
I for one, prefer the cupcake to the ball, unless of course we're talking about the Chocolate Peanut Butter cake balls at Busy B's off the main street in Midlothian. No undue moisture in here…these babies are perfect! These delicious little nuggets remind me more of a truffle, from their cake-like, candy-like center to their hard chocolate coating. These charming little goodies have accompanied me to a friend's baby shower and a few work events and are always a hit. I am sure to take one and set it aside because these little chocolate peanut butter delicacies will be gone before their white chocolate coated cousins even get a second look.
Now don't think you can just waltz on in to Busy B's and expect the Chocolate Peanut Butter Ball to be waiting for you. One can always hope, but your best bet is to place an order beforehand, or at least call ahead and see what flavors they have on hand that day. While you're in there, you'll also want to grab a cookie or two for later…because let's be real, it is sooo hard to walk out of a bakery with only one item. You need at least two different treats for sure, one for now and one for later.
I'd love to know what you think! Take the quick survey below.

Great blog! We ARE in a world that loves and encourages self promotion; a world telling us we are solely responsible for our destiny. Really, from a practical point, I find that on days where I ask Him to embolden me for the day ahead and to inspire me and to give me confidence, that I am far better off and more at ease with finding the confidence and positivity throughout the day. I can remain positive if I ask Him to help me be positive. Worse case scenario, I can have faith that everything will be ok if I keep a healthy spiritual perspective focused on Him. Conversely, I often fail tremendously at being positive when I don't rely on God first.
Oh boy, I DO know, Brother! I thought of Anti-Gravity Gains when I wrote about this too!

The Power of Oldness is a new video campaign highlighting the value of older workers, exposing the discrimination faced by mature workers, despite the skills and strengths they offer.
Age Discrimination Commissioner, Susan Ryan says "We are living through a massive demographic change, yet community attitudes, employer practices and business strategies seem to ignore where we are now. The Power of Oldness campaign will, we hope, prod everyone to recognise and act to stop age discrimination.".
Minister for Employment, Senator Eric Abetz, says the campaign is a way of promoting the value of older workers, to people of all ages around Australia. "The video juxtaposes reality and perceptions in what I consider to be an active, pacey and poignant presentation," he said.

Artful Jobs
Artful In The Press
Everybody in the Artful Team shares a passion for outstanding art and an ambition to bring it into people's lives in exciting ways. Hello, welcome and meet the team.
Rachel Hotchkiss – Founder and Curator
Rachel studied photography at New York University and has worked with leading photo agencies ever since. For over twenty years she has been privileged to work with many exceptional photographers, managing commissions from established artists and new talent.
Long appreciated as a fount of knowledge amongst friends wanting to buy photography, Rachel saw how out of touch the mainstream art market was for many people. Recognising an opportunity for a retail brand that could combine original curation, incredible quality and affordable prices, Rachel began work on Artful. With her wealth of knowledge and keen eye for talent, Rachel is our Head Curator.
Rachel lives in London with her partner and co-founder, two kids and an annoying cat.
Joshua Blackburn – Founder and Head of Customer Experience
Joshua spent ten years running the graphic design agency Provokateur, which he founded to help ethical organisations do good things. But after a decade of producing feisty and award winning work he decided his passion for design needed a new outlet. Like his partner Rachel, Joshua saw how the art world was inaccessible to many people and was interested in how the experience of buying art deserved a re-think.
For Joshua, the secret to Artful lies not only in the quality of the collection but in creating a better customer experience. Joshua takes care of all things digital as well as the neat touches that make the Artful experience what it is. He will also be curating Artful's collection of graphic design when it launches in 2014.
The annoying cat Rachel lives with is his.
Caroline Blake – Head of Social Media & Community Engagement
Caroline has edited books, magazines and websites for nearly 20 years. She has worked for companies such as Penguin, The Good Food Guide, Barclays and The National Gallery.
Caroline's interest in art began to flourish while working at Sotheby's. Having watched people bid in millions for Old Masters, Caroline decided to invest in graduate art and has acquired a personal collection that currently gives her great pleasure, but may well prove to be a decent pension pot in years to come.
Caroline lives in London with her partner, son and a recalcitrant dog. She'd swap it for the cat in a heartbeat.

TURNING POINTS: The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt. ~Max Lerner
It started as a game I'd play with my father, a hard-nosed drinker and long-time alcoholic, although it took years before I came to understand that. Dad would give me tastes, laughing at the faces I made, and quiz me on their names. Manhattan, Rob Roy, Daiquiri, Whiskey Sour, Gimlet, Old Fashioned, Black and White Russian. I learned them all. Early. Perhaps Dad believed in the Forbidden Fruit Theory: Become an educated drinker while young and avoid the abuse of alcohol as a teenager. But it's more likely he wanted to share his shame with someone who wouldn't judge him. And judge him I didn't until years later when I realized abuse was the operative word when it came to my father's drinking habits, an observation he chose to ignore. His relationship to liquor is an ambiguous legacy left on my soul, like an unattractive callus I can't scrape off but occasionally keeps gravel from stinging.
Dad's three-shelved liquor cabinet was above and to the right of the sink where clean dishes should have gone, alcohol being far more essential than any immediate needs of the kitchen. That cupboard was my father's savings and loan of satisfaction. He stocked-piled all kinds of liquor - scotch, rye, vodka, gin, whiskey, bourbon. Mixers and supplements - bitters, tonic, club soda, maraschino cherries. Stainless steel accessories - ice bucket etched with a penguin, cocktail shaker with a spout and handle, like an elongated coffee pot, strainers, slicers, stirrers, tongs. Everything necessary for the art of mixology.
When it came to alcohol, Dad took care of his own needs, even though he expected to be waited upon for pretty much everything else. With his a glass of ice, he'd stand in front of his booze bank, earlier and earlier each day as year melded into year, and pour - without measuring - the liquid desensitizer over the cubes; then swirl and clink and swirl some more before taking his first sip, right there facing the cabinet. Because he'd invariably have to add another splash of liquor-du-jour before settling into the recliner in the den or the other one on the kitchen porch and find something to gripe about.
Dad's winter drink was a Rob Roy. Dark, amber, tart, yet sickeningly sweet. Once at a restaurant, he ordered a perfect Rob Roy. "The bartender will do his best," I said. "What if it's not perfect? What are you going to do? Send it back?"
He lifted his head from the menu. "A perfect Rob Roy," he instructed, "is the name of a drink - it's a Rob Roy made with half-sweet and half-dry vermouth instead of all sweet. You'll learn," he said and receded into the menu to decide between surf and turf.
In the summer, Dad drank gin and tonics. Lots of gin, little tonic. He'd sit on the porch, gulp his drink, and watch humming birds flit around the bird feeders. "Damn," he'd say. "Those birds drink that sugar water too damned fast. I have to fill the damn feeders again." He never saw the irony.
At Thanksgiving and Christmas, Dad mixed Brandy Alexanders in the blender with vanilla ice cream and Hershey's chocolate syrup. Everybody - my dad, my two older brothers, my mother, who wasn't much of a drinker, and I drank them until the ice cream was gone. There was little concern for age or legality or liquor consumption or stomach contents. I guess our over-sized, carbohydrated turkey dinners sopped up the alcohol before it hit our brains. We'd sleep until early evening when it was time for turkey sandwiches - and more pie - and Crème de Menthe on ice, "as a digestive," Dad said.
On New Year's Eve, we drank rum-laden farm-fresh eggnog served in a crystal punch bowl with matching cups. No one I knew ever became sick from eggnog until Christmas, 1982, when my husband's eighty-something grandmother died of salmonella poisoning after drinking a tainted batch whipped up in the kitchen of her New Jersey county nursing home. I never drank eggnog after that.
As Dad approached his late seventies, he didn't bother with mixed cocktails anymore. He drank his scotch straight, not wanting liquid-filler to hinder the impact of his mood mollifier. By that time I had my own favorite - gin martini - which, whenever I visited, I drank just as quickly - to mollify myself as I suffered this aging man who had by then collected a myriad of new complaints.
In high school, my friends and I went to Frank Kapok's Airport Inn, a bar-restaurant on the edge of town, across the road from a hanger turned Beanie's gas station and an airstrip turned hay field. We'd play the jukebox and drink Seven and Sevens, and Rum and Cokes, and Genesee Beer. We were all under 18, New York's drinking age at the time, but we were served anyway. Nobody cared. Nobody got caught - not the kids, not the waitresses, not the bartenders, and not Frank Kapok, who, I would learn years later, grabbed a high-powered rifle at 2:00 am when he heard what he thought was a prowler on his threshold and blasted through the back door, leaving a massive hole in the door and another one in his friend - who just wanted to sober up in Frank's kitchen before going home to his tea totaling wife - killing him instantly, giving the undertaker some work after a three-week hiatus. The courts, I think, did very little: a man's home being his castle - private property to protect - friend on doorstep notwithstanding.
If my dad had been using the Forbidden Fruit Theory to monitor my teenage drinking, it worked, because even though I went along with the crowd on our drinking escapades, I hated the getting drunk part. Once a bunch of us broke into a mountain vacation cabin in the middle of winter. We brought beer, cigarettes, flashlights, and battery-operated radios. After an hour or so, the beer bash got too wild for my comfort level, so I insisted one of the guys drive me home. They all made fun of me and called me a sissy.
The next day I stopped in Carl's diner, the local hangout for town gossips, and Carl, the biggest gossip of all, said, "I understand you got a lot of kids in trouble last night." I was stunned. How did he know anything about it? And who was the blabbermouth? Because I hadn't told anyone. I said as much to Carl. He didn't believe me, and no one else of the break-in bunch did either. I was persona non grata with that crowd for the rest of my senior year. It still sticks in my craw.
Although I've developed a taste for a good drink, I make it a point to keep alcohol a lower priority than food or clean dishes. A skinny cupboard below the junk drawer holds some liqueur and a bottle of top-shelf gin. And even though I vowed never to be like my dad when it comes to drinking, or anything else for that matter, every now and then, his personality manages to merge with mine.
A couple of months ago at a swanky restaurant, while waiting for a friend to meet me for dinner, I meandered to the bar and ordered a very, very, dry dirty martini – my current cocktail of choice - straight up – with blue cheese stuffed olives and a sprinkle of olive juice. No vermouth. Not a whisper. Vermouth makes gin taste, well, like vermouth – metallic, sour, acidic. Olive juice adds zip, spice, zing. Juniper and olive trees must grow side-by-side on breezy Mediterranean hillsides, flavors destined to be merged in an alcoholic mélange, the plants lovingly cultivated by Greek farmers who inherited plantations from their great-grandfathers on the promise to grow such fine fruit that Americans would pay a hefty price for a good martini. And then the blue cheese . . . the icing on the proverbial cake. Blue cheese adds heartiness. Must be the mold. Whatever it is, it's just the right extra that makes the martini almost a meal.
The patrons at the bar probably liked how I sounded. Knowledgeable. Competent. Confident. I knew my stuff. Pure class.
At first I was going to put my drink on a running tab, but I decided to pay for it right away. The bartender placed the over-full martini on a napkin in front of me. He didn't lose any of it – the slight rise off the rim didn't break. What dexterity, what finesse. He was good.
"How much?" I asked the bartender, pawing through my purse for a ten.
Parsimony derailed the sophistication I rode in on. "$12.50?" I blurted, scrunching my forehead. I expected $7.00 . . . maybe $7.50 . . . but $12.50?
My face screwed into a scowl and my brain switched into that lurking unused-but-never-lost Dad mode. And with it, suspicion - the kind he got when questioning the veracity of his sneaky children. You expect me to believe you didn't forge my signature? A red, bulbous nose, bolo tie, and beige shoes with Velcro straps would have completed the image.
"$12.50?" I repeated - even louder. Bar patrons lowered their stemmed glasses and watched my penny-pinching, unrefined outburst. Men with pinky rings and women in spaghetti-strap dresses ceased their intimate chatting to catch the remnants of this exchange with the bartender. "Isn't that a bit pricy?"
The bartender didn't look at me. "It's straight up." He swirled a glass in hot water, dried it, and placed it on a shelf. "You get more liquor when it's straight up." He stuck out his chin and squinted at me, as though the dim lighting made him half-blind. He made sure I understood this new language. "So. It. Costs. More."
I caught a glimpse of myself in an imaginary mirror. Pitiful. "Shut up," I told myself. "You're causing a scene. Stop before your knee highs bunch at your ankles."
How much is it on the rocks?" This was important.
He sauntered off to make a drink for a guy wearing a silk suit and tasseled loafers. "$8.50," he said over his shoulder.
A 20% tip added another $2.45, bringing my little diversion at the bar while I waited for my friend to a total of $14.95. Hell - might as well make it $15. I dug out another five and slapped it next to the ten on the bar. Practically half my dinner allowance.
Maybe I should have had him switch it to on the rocks. But it was too late to rectify the situation. Too late to regain my stature as a competent, confident, knowledgeable, classy, dirty-martini-chic woman-of-the-world.
My drink was filled so far to the brim I had to sip a dent in the surface before carrying the liquid platinum to a table. One tiny spill would have been equivalent to losing three buck's worth of booze, and I'd be obliged to lick it off the floor, destroying any lingering refinement that hadn't been trashed at the bar.
Did my alcoholic dad give me enough lessons as a kid to avoid misuse of liquor? I think so. I like alcohol. It tastes good. But I don't like getting drunk, and I don't like paying through the nose for it.
Have I abused alcohol? Occasionally.
Have I learned any lessons? Probably.
Will I repeat my mistakes? Can't say.
It's still all a game to me. But not like the one Dad played, who eventually lost the will to strategize.
Because, for the most part, I still win.

I can definitely relate to this story, and have a lot of the same ambiguous feelings about alcohol. This story really captures these feelings and makes me think about it. It is very pertinent to our generation, and extremely well-written! Thank you for sharing!

OpenSolaris (/ˌoʊpən səˈlɑːrɪs/) is a discontinued, open source computer operating system based on Solaris created by Sun Microsystems. It was also the name of the project initiated by Sun to build a developer and user community around the software. After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2010, Oracle decided to discontinue open development of the core software, and replaced the OpenSolaris distribution model with the proprietary Solaris Express.
Prior to Oracle's moving of core development "behind closed doors", a group of former OpenSolaris developers decided to fork the core software under the name OpenIndiana. The OpenIndiana project, a part of the illumos Foundation, aims to continue the development and distribution of the OpenSolaris codebase. Since then many more illumos distributions are available for use, continuing development in open or offering support.
OpenSolaris is a descendant of the UNIX System V Release 4 (SVR4) code base developed by Sun and AT&T in the late 1980s. It is the only version of the System V variant of UNIX available as open source. OpenSolaris was developed as a combination of several software consolidations that were open sourced subsequent to Solaris 10. It includes a variety of free software, including popular desktop and server software. On Friday, August 13, 2010, details started to emerge relating to the discontinuation of the OpenSolaris project and the pending release of a new closed-source, proprietary version of Solaris, Solaris 11.
OpenSolaris was based on Solaris, which was originally released by Sun in 1991. Solaris is a version of UNIX System V Release 4 (SVR4), jointly developed by Sun and AT&T to merge features from several existing Unix systems. It was licensed by Sun from Novell to replace SunOS.
Planning for OpenSolaris started in early 2004. A pilot program was formed in September 2004 with 18 non-Sun community members and ran for 9 months growing to 145 external participants. Sun submitted the CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License) to the OSI, which approved it on January 14, 2005.
The first part of the Solaris code base to be open sourced was the Solaris Dynamic Tracing facility (commonly known as DTrace), a tool that aids in the analysis, debugging, and tuning of applications and systems. DTrace was released under the CDDL on January 25, 2005 on the newly launched opensolaris.org website. The bulk of the Solaris system code was released on June 14, 2005. There remains some system code that is not open sourced, and is available only as pre-compiled binary files.
To direct the newly fledged project, a Community Advisory Board was announced on April 4, 2005: two were elected by the pilot community, two were employees appointed by Sun, and one was appointed from the broader free software community by Sun. The members were Roy Fielding, Al Hopper, Rich Teer, Casper Dik, and Simon Phipps. On February 10, 2006 Sun approved The OpenSolaris Charter, which reestablished this body as the independent OpenSolaris Governing Board. The task of creating a governance document or "constitution" for this organization was given to the OGB and three invited members: Stephen Hahn and Keith Wesolowski (developers in Sun's Solaris organization) and Ben Rockwood (a prominent OpenSolaris community member). The former next-generation Solaris OS version under development by Sun to eventually succeed Solaris 10 was codenamed 'Nevada', and was derived from what was the OpenSolaris codebase and this new code was then pulled into new OpenSolaris 'Nevada' snapshot builds. "While under Sun Microsystems' control, there were bi-weekly snapshots of Solaris Nevada (the codename for the next-generation Solaris OS to eventually succeed Solaris 10) and this new code was then pulled into new OpenSolaris preview snapshots available at Genunix.org. The stable releases of OpenSolaris are based on these Nevada builds."
Initially, Sun's Solaris Express program provided a distribution based on the OpenSolaris code in combination with software found only in Solaris releases. The first independent distribution was released on June 17, 2005, and many others have emerged since.
On March 19, 2007, Sun announced that it had hired Ian Murdock, founder of Debian, to head Project Indiana, an effort to produce a complete OpenSolaris distribution, with GNOME and userland tools from GNU, plus a network-based package management system. The new distribution was planned to refresh the user experience, and would become the successor to Solaris Express as the basis for future releases of Solaris.
On May 5, 2008, OpenSolaris 2008.05 was released in a format that could be booted as a Live CD or installed directly. It uses the GNOME desktop environment as the primary user interface. The later OpenSolaris 2008.11 release included a GUI for ZFS' snapshotting capabilities, known as Time Slider, that provides functionality similar to macOS's Time Machine.
In December 2008, Sun Microsystems and Toshiba America Information Systems announced plans to distribute Toshiba laptops pre-installed with OpenSolaris. On April 1, 2009, the Tecra M10 and Portégé R600 came preinstalled with OpenSolaris 2008.11 release and several supplemental software packages.
On June 1, 2009, OpenSolaris 2009.06 was released, with support for the SPARC platform.
On January 6, 2010, it was announced that Solaris Express program would be closed while an OpenSolaris binary release was scheduled to be released March 26 of 2010. The OpenSolaris 2010.03 release never appeared.
On August 13, 2010, Oracle was rumored to have discontinued the OpenSolaris binary distribution to focus on the Solaris Express binary distribution program. Source code would continue to be accepted from the community and Oracle source code would continue to be released into Open Source, but Oracle code releases would occur only after binary releases. Internal email was released by an OpenSolaris kernel developer but was unconfirmed by Oracle.
There was a post confirming the leak posted to the OpenSolaris Forums on August 13, 2010. Upstream contributions will continue through a new Oracle web site, downstream source code publishing will continue, binary distribution will continue under the old Solaris Express model, but release of source code will occur after binary cuts, and binary cuts will become less frequent.
On September 14, 2010, OpenIndiana was formally launched at the JISC Centre in London. While OpenIndiana is a fork in the technical sense, it is a continuation of OpenSolaris in spirit: the project intends to deliver a System V family operating system which is binary-compatible with the Oracle products Solaris 11 and Solaris 11 Express. However, rather than being based around the OS/Net consolidation like OpenSolaris was, OpenIndiana became a distribution based on illumos (the first release is still based around OS/Net). The project uses the same IPS package management system as OpenSolaris.
On November 12, 2010, a final build of OpenSolaris (134b) was published by Oracle to the /release repository to serve as an upgrade path to Solaris 11 Express.
Oracle Solaris 11 Express 2010.11, a preview of Solaris 11 and the first release of the post-OpenSolaris distribution from Oracle, was released on November 15, 2010.
OpenSolaris 2009.06 x86 LiveCD GNOME with terminal.
OpenSolaris was offered as both development (unstable) and production (stable) releases.
Development releases were built from the latest OpenSolaris codebase (consolidations) and included newer technologies, security updates and bug fixes, and more applications, but may not have undergone extensive testing.
Production releases were branched from a snapshot of the development codebase (following a code freeze) and underwent a QA process that includes backporting security updates and bug fixes.
OpenSolaris can be installed from CD-ROM, USB drives, or over a network with the Automated Installer. CD, USB, and network install images are made available for both types of releases.
OpenSolaris uses a network-aware package management system called the Image Packaging System (also known as pkg(5)) to add, remove, and manage installed software and to update to newer releases.
Packages for development releases of OpenSolaris were published by Oracle typically every two weeks to the /dev repository. Production releases use the /release repository which does not receive updates until the next production release. Only Sun customers with paid support contracts have access to updates for production releases.
Paid support for production releases which allows access to security updates and bug fixes was offered by Sun through the /support repository on pkg.sun.com.
A hardware compatibility list (HCL) for OpenSolaris can be consulted when choosing hardware for OpenSolaris deployment.
Extensive OpenSolaris administration, usage, and development documentation is available online, including community-contributed information.
Sun has released most of the Solaris source code under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL), which is based on the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 1.1. The CDDL was approved as an open source license by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) in January 2005. Files licensed under the CDDL can be combined with files licensed under other licenses, whether open source or proprietary.
During Sun's announcement of Java's release under the GNU General Public License (GPL), Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green both hinted at the possibility of releasing Solaris under the GPL, with Green saying he was "certainly not" averse to relicensing under the GPL. When Schwartz pressed him (jokingly), Green said Sun would "take a very close look at it." In January 2007, eWeek reported that anonymous sources at Sun had told them OpenSolaris would be dual-licensed under CDDL and GPLv3. Green responded in his blog the next day that the article was incorrect, saying that although Sun is giving "very serious consideration" to such a dual-licensing arrangement, it would be subject to agreement by the rest of the OpenSolaris community.
The first annual OpenSolaris Developer Conference (abbreviated as OSDevCon) was organized by the German Unix User Group (GUUG) and took place from February 27 to March 2, 2007 at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany. The 2008 OSDevCon was a joint effort of the GUUG and the Czech OpenSolaris User Group (CZOSUG) and look place June 25–27, 2008 in Prague, Czech Republic. The 2009 OSDevCon look place October 27–30, 2009, in Dresden, Germany.
In 2007, Sun Microsystems organized the first OpenSolaris Developer Summit, which was held on the weekend of October 13, 2007, at the University of California, Santa Cruz in the United States. The 2008 OpenSolaris Developer Summit returned to UCSC on May 2–3, 2008, and took place immediately prior to the launch of Sun's new OpenSolaris distribution on May 5, 2008, at the CommunityOne conference in San Francisco, California.
The first OpenSolaris Storage Summit was organized by Sun and held September 21, 2008, preceding the SNIA Storage Developer Conference (SDC), in Santa Clara, California. The second OpenSolaris Storage Summit preceded the USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST) on February 23, 2009, in San Francisco, United States.
On November 3, 2009, a Solaris/OpenSolaris Security Summit was held by Sun in the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, Maryland, preceding the Large Installation System Administration Conference (LISA).
PowerPC Port: Project Polaris, experimental PowerPC port, based on the previous porting effort, Project Pulsar from Sun Labs.
OpenSolaris for System z, for IBM mainframes: Project Sirius, developed by Sine Nomine Associates, named as an analogy to Polaris.
illumos, a fully open source fork of the project, started in 2010 by a community of Sun OpenSolaris engineers and the NexentaOS support. Note that OpenSolaris was not 100% open source: Some drivers and some libraries were property of other companies that Sun (now Oracle) licensed and was not able to release.
OpenIndiana, a project under the illumos umbrella aiming "... to become the defacto OpenSolaris distribution installed on production servers where security and bug fixes are required free of charge."
OSDyson: illumos kernel with GNU userland and packages from Debian. Strives to become an official Debian port.
SmartOS: Virtualization centered derivative from Joyent.

Mr. Charles Wagner
9401 Audubon Road
Chanhassen, Minnesota 55317-9410
RE: Safari Boots of Buffalo or Kudu Hide; U.S. Note 1(a) to Chapter 64; Welt Footwear
Dear Mr. Wagner:
This letter is in response to your request of August 16, 1996, concerning the classification under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA) of various styles of imported safari boots to be made in Zimbabwe. A brochure containing sketched representations and descriptions of the boots was submitted with your request.
The sketches and descriptive advertising indicate that four styles of lace-up, over-the-ankle boots in "The Courteney Collection," specifically identified as the "Selous," the "Pioneer," the "Scout," and the "Safari," have certain common characteristics. Each of four styles of boot is said to be hand-made with a double stitched welt, with uppers composed of leather (either buffalo hide or kudu suede), with rubber tire grip outer soles, and with full bellows tongues. Some styles will feature an impala skin collar and speed lacing. The boots are said to be designed specifically for use on the African veld (open grassland). The boots will be available in ladies' sizes 3 to 8, and in men's sizes 4 to 13, including half sizes. -2-
Whether the boots meet the tariff definition of "welt footwear."
LAW AND ANALYSIS:
Classification under the HTSUS is made in accordance with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI). GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative Section or Chapter Notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Explanatory Notes (EN) to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, which represent the official interpretation of the tariff at the international level, facilitate classification under the HTSUS by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI.
Chapter 64, HTSUS, covers footwear, gaiters and the like, and parts of such articles. Additional U.S. Note 1(a) to chapter 64, HTSUS, states that "For the purposes of this chapter: The term "welt footwear" means footwear constructed with a welt, which extends around the edge of the tread portion of the sole, and in which the welt and shoe upper are sewed to a lip on the surface of the insole, and the outsole of which is sewed or cemented to the welt."
The EN to chapter 64 indicate that the constituent material of the outer sole and of the upper, determines classification in headings 6401 to 6405. Heading 6403, HTSUS, applies to "Footwear with outer soles of rubber, plastics, leather or composition leather and uppers of leather." At the six digit level, subheading 6403.91, HTSUS, provides for "Other footwear: Covering the ankle." At the eight digit level, subheading 6403.91.30, HTSUSA, provides for "Welt footwear."
Based upon the submitted sketches and descriptions, particularly those which point out the presence of a "Double Stitched Welt" extending around the edge of the tread portion of the sole, the four styles of boots satisfy the definition of the term "welt footwear," and are classified in subheading 6403.91.30, HTSUSA, the provision for "Footwear with outer soles of rubber...and uppers of leather: Other footwear: Covering the ankle: Welt footwear." -3-
HOLDING:
The four styles of "Courteney Collection" boots, identified as the "Selous," the "Pioneer," the "Scout," and the "Safari," are properly classified in subheading 6403.91.30, HTSUSA, the provision for "Footwear with outer soles of rubber...and uppers of leather: Other footwear: Covering the ankle: Welt footwear." The general column one rate of duty is 5 percent ad valorem.
However, if upon importation it is determined that the boots fail to meet the tariff definition of "welt footwear," the boots, if American size 8-1/2 or larger, will be classified in subheading 6403.91.60, HTSUSA, which provides for "Footwear with outer soles of rubber...and uppers of leather: Other footwear: Covering the ankle: Other: For men, youths and boys."
If the boots fail to meet the tariff definition of "welt footwear," and are American size 8 or smaller, the boots will be classified in subheading 6403.91.90, HTSUSA, the provision for "Footwear with outer soles of rubber...and uppers of leather: Other footwear: Covering the ankle: Other: For other persons."
John Durant, Director
Tariff No.: 6403.91.30 - Footwear w/outer soles of rubber/plastics/composition leather & uppers of leather, covering the ankle, welt
Tariff No.: 6403.91.60 - Footwear w/outer soles of rubber/plastics/composition leather & uppers of leather, covering the ankle, n/welt, for men,youths and boys
Tariff No.: 6403.91.90 - Footwear w/outer soles of rubber/plastics/comp. leather & uppers of leather, cov. ankle, n/welt, for persons other than men/youths/boys


The Brothers Gibb arrived in the UK in February 1967 virtually penniless. They promptly signed with Robert Stigwood and - together with bandmates Vince Melouney and Colin Petersen - soon became the hottest new property in pop, fuelled by their own unique songs.
They performed their first BBC session that April, with several following over the next year, broadcast on BBC radio.
These are gathered here, together with background notes and images, offering a remarkable glimpse into one of the most legendary acts in pop history at its outset.

A: First possible approach (I would not recommend it): use frames or iframes -- the ancient solution for this.
Proper solution: use AJAX, with some library like jQuery that knows to execute
