English Theatre Words Translated from Broadway
To you all, theatremonkey says welcome and enjoy.
You were the inspiration for this site. The following bits of information don't fit elsewhere, but have been asked so often of this monkey by visitors that here seems a good place to put it all. Please add to this list Contact Us.
One reader produced a summary of this experience, which they hope will help
The monkey helps these pages will help you too...so here are its own list of tips:
Help the Box Office Clerk
As a rule, most expensive seats are in the Stalls and Dress Circle, with a few rows at the back a bit cheaper. Third and fourth prices are in the Upper Circle, with the balcony the cheapest. Restricted view seats and boxes are often at a discount. Do note that seats in boxes are often individually numbered, and if you don't buy all of them, then the other tickets will be sold to other people.
If you are shown a seating plan, the Stalls (Orchestra Stalls to Americans) and any circles / balconies, are divided off by thin lines. The Stalls is always the largest block of seats with the most rows in it. Row A (or a letter close to it) is the front row in every section of a theatre, stalls or circles / balconies. Pillars often show up as black dots on seating plans, and an unusual white space in among a row of seats is also a giveaway. A wide white space between rows often means an aisle - and in the Circles this can also often mean a wall or bars in front of the next row of seats...
Monkey has had reports that both online booking systems and telephone sales clerks have been splitting small parties by placing one or more members away from the rest on the other side of the aisle! The monkey advises scrutiny of the seating plans to make certain this does not happen to you. Also, do remember that some plans are more detailed than others, so do check more than one if you are not sure.
A reader also advises always considering phoning the theatre as an option as
the choice of seats and prices can vary. The reader writes in February 2007,
Another reader says,
Please also be aware that if an event is
cancelled, refunds may be limited to the price of the ticket only, with the
'booking fee' not refunded. This applies particularly to pop concert events.
Accepted Credit and Debit Cards
Debit cards are also usually fine, if issued by Mastercard or Visa.
The Official Half Price Booth at Leicester Square takes Visa, MasterCard, Amex and debit cards. It also accepts Euros currency.
The actual cardholder MUST be present and produce the credit card used to make the booking, when collecting tickets at the box office counter on the day of the performance. VERY IMPORTANT: Sometimes, when your credit card expires, the new one will have a different number. IF YOUR CARD IS DUE TO EXPIRE BEFORE THE DATE YOU ARE BOOKED TO GO TO THE THEATRE, KEEP YOUR OLD CARD TO MAKE IT EASY TO COLLECT YOUR TICKETS.
Theatremonkey's American friend Brian McKinney (of late Goodshow.com renown)
says that,
Sound advice, thinks the monkey, who would also add that if you are going to
make a large transaction - half a dozen "premium priced" tickets for example -
it can be worth anyone anywhere notifying their card company in advance.
Ticket Insurance
You are also covered if your car breaks down en-route, or if public transport fails due to industrial action or breakdown. With huge ticket prices, this is a great way to protect your investment. It is a useful option to consider where offered, feels the monkey.
There are several to choose from, either offered as you buy, or as an annual policy.
Dress at the theatre
Monkeyesses as usual have a sartorial minefield to negotiate. Dress for comfort and to embarrass any hairy companion to look good for you. As for theatremonkeys, casual is fine at most performances, dresses, slacks, jeans and sweatshirts all acceptable. First nights require a smart but comfortable evening attire, not elaborate unless you are a celebrity though! Weekend evenings too can be a bit dressier than a weekday.
One tip though, if sitting anywhere but the Stalls, monkeyesses should consider skirt length carefully. Your knees will often be at head height to the person in front. A monkeyesse of the theatremonkey site's acquaintance wore a microskirt and spent the performance in mortal terror of offering a view to the gentleman in front which he hadn't reckoned on. This is passed on purely for information. But Theatremonkey thinks it is worth knowing.
In general London nights are cool, even in summer. It is worth remembering a warm garment if you have a long journey home after the evening performance as temperatures will have plummeted while you enjoyed the show. This tip also beats an over enthusiastic air conditioning system too.
Taking Photographs and Recordings
For copyright reasons cameras are often confiscated and images erased before return. If you want production photographs, buy the souvenir brochure (see below). The pictures will be better than the shadows your own camera will return anyway. Photographs of the auditorium should be taken only with management permission. Ask.
Recording is also strictly forbidden as it again infringes copyright. Buy a commercially available soundtrack from a high street shop (not the foyer, which sells at full price). Illegal recordings of all shows exist, up to your conscience to decide if you are going down this route. Theatremonkey doesn't.
Other Noise
One reader opines, though:
That Ringing Bell
It warns you to take your seat as the show is about to start. It also notifies the theatre staff to check that the restrooms and foyers are clear. This ensures that the curtain does not go up until almost everyone in the audience has been seated, since in the event of a problem, backstage staff can hold off the start for a few minutes if necessary.
At the Royal National Theatre, a civilised announcement is made - but the bells are so much more traditional thinks theatremonkey!
A standing ovation is usually saved until the end as the cast takes their final bows. Feel free if you are really impressed. Theatremonkey does.
I'm larger than average, can you help on locating suitable seats?
Car Parking
If you choose the "Theatreland Parking Scheme", you must get your car park ticket validated at the theatre's box office counter (the theatre attendant will insert the car parking ticket into a small machine which updates the information held on the magnetic strip on the reverse, thus enabling the discount). When you pay using the machines at the car park, 50% will be deducted from the full tariff. You may park for up to 4 hours after 12 noon, using this scheme and it is endorsed by the Society of London Theatre.
For a full list of car parks and theatres that participate in the 50% off theatreland scheme see http://www.q-park.co.uk.
English Theatre terms translated:
1) Auditorium
Dress Circle…. Mezzanine or first mezzanine…Seats in the first balcony. Best in the theatre. Some theatres call this the Royal Circle or something else. Check on this site under theatre descriptions. Few London Theatres have a Rear Mezzanine, and when they do, it will just be considered part of the Dress Circle.
Upper Circle…Second Mezzanine or Balcony…Seats in the second balcony. Mostly quite high up and sold at similar prices to the rear stalls.
Balcony or Gallery… Gallery or second balcony… Seats in the third level balcony. Not all theatres have them. Where they do, they are very high up - often 100 feet or more from the stage, vertically! The audience is caged in behind elaborate safety bars.
2) General
Usher/ette… Attendant… Found in the foyer and in the auditorium. They do NOT expect a tip to show you to your seat. In fact, you will not usually be shown at all, just pointed in the approximate direction.
Touts… Scalpers… Avoid, see Avoiding Touts and Scalpers.
Seating Plan...seat map or seating chart.
Day Seats... Rush seats. Tickets held back for sale on the day of the performance to personal callers at the theatre box office. Common in subsidised theatres like the National, rare in the commercial West End. For hit shows, lines may start before 7am. If getting in line, make sure you have both cash and credit cards as different payment policies may apply each time - sometimes depending on whether tickets are true "Rush Seats" or simply "Returns" (unwanted tickets sent to the theatre for re-sale).
The 'programme' usually priced about £5, sometimes up to £10 if no "Souvenir Brochure" is issued and a combined glossy effort happens instead - contains a cast list and brief biographies, list of scenes and settings, sometimes a plot synopsis, a couple of photographs, a few articles about the author/play and a history of the theatre. Ushers inside the auditorium itself, and occasionally in the foyer sell it.
A glossy 'Souvenir Brochure' priced around £7 - £10 is sold in addition to programmes at the big musicals. This is sold in the foyer, in order to shift the stock before the cheaper option is discovered inside the auditorium. This brochure contains large colour pictures of the show, and a few articles about its' creation. It does not contain a cast list, list of songs, or anything specific to that actual performance - for that you need… the programme.
In 2016, the monkey was fascinated to find out that "Breakfast At Tiffany's" at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, was charging £6 for a programme Monday to Thursday, and £8 on Friday and Saturday! "Dynamic Pricing" of souvenirs, has to be a first, it thinks!
Subsidised theatres - The Royal National Theatre, Royal Court and Royal Shakespeare Company make a free cast list available at the door. Look for the dispenser rack just beside the auditorium entrance. Generous Cameron Mackintosh makes these available in the Prince Of Wales and Prince Edward Theatres too. Almost making up for introducing booking fees.
Other souvenirs are available, see Making Your Visits Fun.
Opera Glasses
Magnification is not bad, and, where available, the glasses are worth using. Arrive early to get a set, and if you must try another row to get some, take them from the ends of the row as they will be easier to return at the end of the performance.
Do not forget to return them, they are loaned, and theatregoers have been prosecuted in the past for theft. If you cannot return them to a holder, hand them to a member of staff or leave them on your seat top.
Keen theatremonkeys buy their own, but you have to see a lot of shows to justify the cost.

Foreign Language Assistance
Gift Vouchers
Theatre Tokens is a non for profit scheme run on
behalf on the UK theatre industry and is administered by The Society of London
Theatre. Theatre Tokens never expire unlike other similar vouchers and are
available in £5, £10, £20 and £50 denominations. Change is also given in Theatre
Tokens should the tickets be less than the Theatre Token you hold.
Large agencies also issue their own tokens for
purchase through their own companies.
In fact, Ticketmaster do accept SOLT tokens for most shows - BUT users should be careful to use only the booking numbers listed in the gift voucher folder that comes with the tokens as they don't accept them for all... AND try and call weekdays 9am to 6pm when it is most likely the agency tokens office staff will be available to help (often the general telephone team don't know about tokens and can cause the kind of chaos the reader described above). Also, if you do have a problem redeeming SOLT tokens, calling Tokenline on 0870 164 8800 can help resolve issues.
....... Luckily, it prefers bananas anyway.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss
The Uncharted series has made its debut portable effort on Sony's newest handheld, and despite the fact that a different team is handling the release there is little difference to the standard affair expected from a Nathan Drake adventure. Large, immaculate environments shift from panoramic vistas to crumbling ruins with ease, all spliced together amongst the usual assortment of cover-based shooting. At the same time there's also this tremendous interest in the new technology and how the player can interact with the world better using it, though most of the time this interaction takes a turn for worse.
Golden Abyss is a stand-alone title for the series that takes place before the events of Drake's Fortune, and for that reason doesn't necessitate having played the console iterations first. Aside from Nathan Drake himself, there are only four characters he interacts with over the course of the whole game, and only one that's familiar to the series. Newcomer Chase fills the obligatory female adventurer role, Dante takes over the obviously corrupt ally of sorts, and Guerro is a caricature of a former General, providing the least interesting villain in all of the Uncharted games combined.
Like the console versions, there's a strong emphasis on storytelling, and though this has the relatively weakest story for the series, that doesn't mean it's bad. While Uncharted 3 was busy employing tricks such as flashbacks and mind trickery, Golden Abyss is happy to send Nathan on a straightforward romp on the search for another fabled city.
Along the way there are collectible artifacts, not necessarily to expand the plot but to provide a little more "history" to the world that he explores. It's a more detailed version of the previous treasure system, and includes much more to do this time around. Some artifacts are torn notes that need to be pieced together again and made whole. He can even play travel journalist of a sort, taking photographs of key locations and structures.
There's an equally strong pull towards the new technology of the Vita. It comes with two touch screens and motion sensing, and Golden Abyss is the kind of game that wants to use it all, as much as possible. It wants to be a game and it wants to be a technical demonstration of what the Vita can do at the same time.
And it does manage to pull out a few neat tricks. While climbing through the environment, the touch screen can be used to create a path for Drake to follow. When jumping from one ledge to the next, leaning the Vita slightly will get him to lean towards the other ledge, ready to jump. During photography, or while sniping, the touch screen provides a slider for its zoom function.
Then there's also the tricks it tries to pull, but are thankfully ignorable due to secondary methods of control. The motion sensing can be used to aim your weapon, just move the Vita around to aim, but it doesn't function better than the analog stick and can be turned off. You can climb up or down ropes using the rear touch screen, but it's not like that's any better than using the left analog stick. There's an icon on the screen that can be tapped to reload, but it's farther away from the d-pad and can be ignored.
But not all of its new features turn out well or can be turned off. Some of these features are so integrated into the gameplay that they depreciate the events around them. Nearly every time Nathan approaches a thin, beam like structure to walk across he will most likely lose his balance, something that can only be corrected by tilting the Vita appropriately until he feels the need to continue again. Objects in the world that need closer inspection are rotated by using the rear touch screen, which is highly unintuitive.
The worst of all of the new "tricks" that are brought into Golden Abyss is its quick time events. And they're not just any QTE's, they're slightly worse: they're touch screen based QTE's. An arrow appears in the direction in which it wants you to drag your finger across in order for Nathan to succeed at punching. Scattered use of touch screen based QTE's is bad enough on its own. The true horror comes later on the game when there are not one, but two boss fights that are entirely done with QTE's, and the boss fights aren't quick. These are lengthy, two to three minute affairs of only QTE's.
Despite its flaws the platforming and cover-based shooting are on par with its console peers. There is fun to be had with Uncharted: Golden Abyss, regardless of how badly it fumbles with its new technology.

So long as we do not define the format of the argument to :lang, there is nothing to say about this. It is assumed other specifications define in effect a boolean function Compare(Element, LanguageIdentifier), and whether that considers "en" and "EN" the same, or "Deutsch" and "German" the same, or 1033 and en-US the same, is entirely up to the definition of the comparison function. Of course it usually leads to confusion to specify the behavior of pro- cesses, rather than intrinsic semantics, so specifications will often rather say "de" and "DE" both denote the same language. By saying that an attribute value takes a BCP 47 language tag, you say exactly that (an element in 'de' is also in 'DE' and 'dE' and 'De') so your question should almost never arise, and where it does come up, we wouldn't really know the right answer independently of the specific case. So I do not think we need to change either specification in this regard. In theory, and last I checked implementations disagreed a lot, the same is true for attribute values aswell, although the selector specification only talks about case-sensitivity there, when a specification says that example='X' is the same as example='x' then [example='x'] is supposed to match in both cases and the same goes for the other selectors. Saying that example=' X ' and example='X' are the same, is not supposed to have effect on whether selectors match, however (unless perhaps, say, the two end up exactly the same in the DOM). -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.

Changes to Sightstone/Support Items coming to PBE
Hello! I'm Lowbo, a systems designer on the Game Systems team, and I'm here to talk to you about changes to Sightstone and the core support items! The requirement to buy Sightstone has long existed as a tax on the support position, and while vision is an important element of the game, the way it delivers this has been a drain on satisfaction for a long time. We'd like to lift the obligation while still empowering Supports to be heavy participants in the vision game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Quick explanation of change** * Sightstone and all of its upgrades will be removed from the store. * Support items will gain Sightstone's active as their quest reward. * Support Tier 3 items now build out of Tier 2 and a Ruby Crystal, and give you the same stats as their respective line's "Eye of the ____" upgraded Sightstone on live. * For more context, read below. I'll go through the goals and reasons behind these changes, and then give the complete changelist. * NOTE: Current names and icons for Tier 3 are temporary. We'll have new names and icons for all three lines for Tier 2 after quest completion, and Tier 3 both pre and post quest completion. **Goals of Change** * The main drive behind these changes is that we want supports to be more free to pursue their own build paths. Without a mandatory 800 gold purchase in the early game, Supports will be able to make more choices and have more agency over how their power is expressed. We will try to keep Sightstone timings and general support economy to be close to their live values. * One thing we've learned from Ardent Censer over the summer is that Support players greatly appreciated the ability to rush impactful items - they were able to feel like a bigger participant in the game. We've also learned that the game still functions well without a Sightstone rush - in other words, the game doesn't break down from a lack of early vision. * We would still like Sightstone times to be a reflection of the support player's skill, so we are putting it on the quest reward rather than just giving it out at a specific game time. We found that for most players, the existing quest rewards were very low satisfaction relative to their power level. We hope that gaining this active is a much more noticeable and satisfying reward. * Unfortunately, having an active as the quest reward requires us to remove the active branches of the item chains - Frost Queen's Claim, Face of the Mountain, and Talisman of Ascension. Some of the actives provided important options, and so we'll be looking at ways to bring Frost Queen's Claim and Talisman of Ascension back in modified forms. Face of the Mountain's active will likely not return in the immediate future. **More Detailed Changelist:** * Sightstone and Ruby Sightstone have been removed from the store. * The quest reward from all three gold income item lines is changed to grant Sightstone's active. * You will still be required to upgrade to Tier 2 to finish your quest. * Quest reward thresholds are reduced to 500 gold. * Your Tier 3 item will build out of your Tier 2 item and a Ruby Crystal, and will give you the same stats as an upgraded Sightstone on live. There is no longer a branching path to Tier 3 - the active variants of the items have been removed. Upon quest completion, your Tier 2 item will have a maximum of 3 wards between trips to the store. Upgrading to Tier 3 will give you a maximum of 4 wards stored. **Timing and Future Work** * We expect these changes will go out in 8.2, but they might be delayed a patch or two if we hit bugs or snags with implementation. * We're still going to be ironing out some details - whether you have to return to the store to stock up on your first ward charges, around what time do we want the rewards to activate, whether this makes Spellthief's line too risky (as you can get locked out of income generation if laning phase ends early), things like that. We will also be closely monitoring poaching by other laners and junglers. Thanks for reading! I'll be around to answer questions.

It's a bittersweet time to be a fan of Spartacus. The hit Starz series is inching ever closer to its epic season 3 - subtitled War of the Damned - and while the season will mark the series' swan song, it is sure to pack plenty of action and memorable showdowns, even if there are undoubtedly more stories to tell in the world that the series has created.
During this final season, Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) will lead the slave rebellion against the forces of the Roman army, including Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells) and young Gaius Julius Caesar (Todd Lasance). We've already seen some behind-the-scenes footage of the upcoming season, which will premiere early next year.
Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, we now have our first glimpse of the new poster for War of the Damned. Check it out it below:
It's remarkable how far a fierce expression and blood-dripping weapon can go in making McIntyre come across as a menacing force of nature. Couple that with the army of battle-crying warriors behind him and the dramatic skyline, and this poster gives fans a strong idea of the intense conflict they can expect in this last season of Spartacus. However, if recent talk is any indication, the final moments of War of the Damned may not truly be the end.
According to Deadline, executive producer Robert Tapert is considering a spin-off centered on Julius Caesar. As mentioned, that character will play a major role in this upcoming final season of Spartacus, and the conclusion of that series could easily set the stage for a show revolving around Caesar's rise to power in Rome. Given the fact that Caesar is a recognizable (and highly marketable) historical figure, it would be easy for Starz to rein in additional interest in a spin-off series, in addition to retaining loyal Spartacus viewers.
Of course, any prospective spin-off would likely depend on how the character is received during his appearances on Spartacus. The character's rise to power from Roman general to eventual dictator would likely capitalize on the political intrigue of the time and follow the civil war that arose from Caesar's refusal to surrender his military command. If Lasance and, more importantly, Caesar himself manage to strike a chord with Spartacus viewers, expect Starz to get this one going sooner rather than later.
Would you be interested in a spin-off centering on Caesar? Are you looking forward to the final season of Spartacus? Let us know in the comments.
Spartacus: War of the Damned premieres January 25th, 2013 @9pm on Starz.

Struggle Of Peace
War has ravaged the continent of Khorvaire for the past hundred years. Now the once unified nation of Galifar is split into five nations. The beautiful country of Cyre has been completely destroyed, leaving the desolate Mournland in its place. The shock of this tragedy prompted the other nations into an unsteady peace – something no one has experience for over a hundred years.
Sharn is the largest city in the known world. Located on the coast of Breland, it is home to a wide diversity of races and nationalities. There has been peace between the five nations for the past two years. However, peace has not ended the daily turmoil within City of Towers.
A favorite local saying is that all important stories either begin or end in Sharn. Certainly, the city has enough conflict to feed a thousand tales. The city is still a hotbed of international intrigue, with spies and assassins lurking in every level of society. Wartime profiteers seek to spread the seeds of discontent. Government officials and members of the Dragonmarked Houses look to consolidate their power. Meanwhile, gangs compete for control over the streets and unexplained horrors occasionally creep from the underground underbelly of the city. This is where our story begins…

Earlier this week Daddy, Top Ender and Big Boy went to Asda for a few supplies for our trip to Camp Bestival and decided to buy some ice-creams for themselves as a treat to eat on the way home. When they got home Big Boy came and sat on the sofa in the living room and we filmed this...
(Video can be seen at http://youtu.be/xwQAa94EQvo)
As you can see even Willow (the cat) was pleased when Big Boy finally gave up and I got to eat the end of the ice-cream!
Yay for late summer nights!

|"Yoda's species"
|Average height
0.7 meters
|Skin color
|Average lifespan
Unknown (at least several hundred Standard years)
|Famous members
The Jedi Master Yoda was the best-known member of a species whose true name is not recorded. Known in some sources simply as Yoda's species, this species of small humanoids produced several well-known members of the Jedi Order during the time of the Galactic Republic.
The name and homeworld of this species remains unknown. Members of the species were very small, most standing below 70 centimeters, but had extremely long lifespans lasting many hundreds of years (though because all known members of the species were Jedi, who are known to generally have longer lifespans than what is ordinary for a species, the exact average lifespan of the species is unknown). Adult members of the species were characterized by sharp, elfin ears, ridges on their foreheads, tridactyl hands and (most commonly) anisodactyl feet. Their leathery skin and blood was light green. Their sharp teeth pointed to a carnivorous diet. The diet of the most famous member of the species, Jedi Master Yoda, consisted of nutriment most other beings considered disgusting. Most of them, though not all, spoke an idiosyncratic dialect of Galactic Basic Standard, utilizing non-standard grammar and formalized sentence construction.
All three known members were very wise and had extraordinary Force potential. Yoda, the most famous member of this species, was the Jedi Grand Master during the time of the Galactic Republic for over two centuries and one of the most powerful Jedi in the history of the Order. Master Yoda died from natural causes at the age of exactly 900 standard years.
Two other Jedi, Yaddle and Vandar Tokare, were also powerful Masters who both sat on the Jedi Councils on Coruscant and on Dantooine respectively. There was also a statue of an unknown Jedi of this species inside the Valley of the Jedi on Ruusan.
A fourth, lesser known Jedi of this species was the Jedi Knight Minch who served the Jedi Order in the time around 700 BBY. Although very little is known about him, he proved himself to be quite able in the ways of the Force when he single handedly defeated a Dark Jedi Master in combat. In contrast to the above mentioned masters who had all shown exceptional calmness and self control at all times, Minch was of a slightly more fiery temperament and was known to once have lost his cool when subjected to Dun Möch.
This species bore resemblance to the Lannik species, primarily their short stature, large pointed ears, and, as in the case of Yaddle, a topknot of hair. Whether or not this species was related to the Lannik is uncertain, though Yoda had at least once been mistaken for a Lannik. It is highly unlikely that there was a genetic connection between the species though, because Lannik were much more humanoid in appearance and seemed to have a different evolutionary history than that of Yoda and Yaddle's species (Lannik appeared to have evolved from simians, while the unknown tridactyl species had features that could point to an amphibian or reptilian ancestry).
For reasons unknown, George Lucas maintains a strict policy of keeping the history, name, origin, and whereabouts of this species secret. This policy has resulted even in certain works being canceled. A significant example of this policy was when Lucasfilm (likely at the direction of George Lucas himself) ordered the pulping of the entire print run of a yet-to-be-released Star Wars trading card depicting a group of the unknown tridactyl species worshipping a larger-than-life-size statue of one of their number, led in prayer by an individual who may have been intended to be Yoda.
Prior to the creation of Yaddle for The Phantom Menace, Lucasfilm actively discouraged licensees from exploring Yoda's species, wishing to avoid confirming that an entire species of Yoda-like individuals even necessarily existed.
When asked what species Yoda is, Lucas has only joked, "He's a frog." In the documentary "From Puppets to Pixels", he even joked that Yoda is "The illegitimate child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy".
Many fans have speculated this unknown species are the Whills (as in the Journal of the Whills), but in an interview, George Lucas has denied this. Additionally, in lines cut from Revenge of the Sith, Yoda speaks of the Whills as though they were a separate species. Some fans have also been known to call them "Yoda things" or just "Yodas." The New Essential Guide to Alien Species simply refers to the species as "Yoda's species."
Another, similar fanon misconception is that Yoda is a Whill from the planet "Grentarik." This rumor originates from the fan fiction fansite run by "SuperShadow."
When The Essential Guide to Characters was published, Yoda's homeworld was listed as Dagobah, leading some fans to believe that they were from Dagobah in origin. However, new material released states that Yoda was not born there.
Because of their three fingers on each hand and three toes on each foot, some have called Yoda a "tridactyl". Actually, the Dutch version of Wookiepedia lists Yoda's species as 'Tridactyl species'.
Santa Claus appears to be a member of Yoda's species (as shown in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8), though this is a easter egg and therefore is non-canon.
There is actually a considerable lack of clarity as to the exact number of toes that members of this species possess (at least canonically speaking), as this significant anatomical feature has been inconsistently portrayed over the course of the Star Wars franchise, notably including the films themselves. Strictly speaking, a truly tridactyl foot would only have three toes, but this version has actually only appeared once, in The Phantom Menace, whereas the puppet used in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as the digital model from Revenge of the Sith, all have four toes.
In The Empire Strikes Back, there is a shot of Yoda rummaging through Luke's supplies where the soles of his feet are seen. Although there are definitely three forward-facing toes, there is also an additional digit clearly protruding in the opposite direction. This is ambiguously either a fourth toe or perhaps a prehensile heel of some kind (if such a thing is even anatomically possible); the clear presence or absence of a fourth toenail would settle the matter, but the angle of the ESB shot makes it impossible to see if this is the case. If the fourth, rear-facing digit is a toe (which seems likely), then technically Yoda's species have anisodactyl feet.
The first discrepancy appears in The Phantom Menace, where the puppets of both Yoda and Yaddle feature three forward-facing toes and a blunted Human-like heel instead of the original puppet's anisodactyl arrangement, thus being the only appearance of the species with truly tridactyl feet. However, when the TPM puppet was replaced by the fully-digital version used in Attack of the Clones, Yoda now apparently possessed five toes, arranged somewhat like a star shape and all separate from a blunt humanoid heel, although this is not actually visible in the film itself. This was revealed in the exhaustive book Star Wars Chronicles: The Prequels, which displays multi-angle views of the digital model—so, although there are no adequate close-up shots in AotC to definitively confirm that this model made it into the final film, it is highly likely that it did.
At any rate this was clearly no longer the case for the upgraded digital Yoda used in RotS, which features a full-circle return to the ESB and ROTJ puppet's anisodactyl design, as seen in shots of Yoda plummeting to the Senate Rotunda floor at the conclusion of his battle with Darth Sidious and also when jumping down into Bail Organa's speeder shortly afterwards. One earlier shot of Yoda lying momentarily stunned on a senate pod during the battle also seems to display a rearward fourth toenail, thus indicating that the fourth digit is indeed a toe rather than some kind of prehensile heel, however the shot is not adequately clear at DVD resolution to be definitive.
Likely as a result of the above confusion, various Hasbro action figures of Yoda produced since Return of the Jedi have featured either three, four or five toes in a variety of arrangements, although none of which precisely matched the anisodactyl appearance of Yoda's feet in ESB until RotS figures were produced. Interestingly, these RotS figures molded a toenail onto the ambiguous rear-facing fourth digit of the ESB design, clearly indicating a belief that the digit was indeed a toe. Whether Hasbro based this on a detailed RotS digital model or access to the original ESB puppet, or if this was mere speculation on their part is unknown. Naturally, these varying designs are generally not evident unless directly viewing the underside of the figures.
The controversy was notionally solved with the release in 2006 of The New Essential Guide to Alien Species, which, on page 216, states that Yoda's species had "five-toed feet, with three toes in front and two toes in back." However, as the five-toed arrangement is not actually visible in any film, this statement contradicts the more common anisodactyl version featured in the majority of the films (which naturally possess a higher level of canonicity). As a result, the definitively canonical number of toes possessed by this species remains unresolved.
To subsequently perpetuate the confusion, the 2008-released film and animation series The Clone Wars uses a CGI model of Yoda that has evidently reverted to the formerly one-off tridactyl arrangement seen in The Phantom Menace, with three forward-facing toes and a blunted heel. The episode Ambush has shots of Yoda's feet as having three forward toes, and one in back, as a pointed heel. At any rate, the aforementioned notionally official five-toed version thus remains the least used in any incarnation of Star Wars media.

Located in Tampa's main service building, it houses about $1 million worth of high-tech diagnostic equipment and computer software and is staffed by a dedicated team of oil lab technicians ― five in Tampa and one in St. Augustine ― who process anywhere from 400 to 500 fluid samples each and every day!
Taking samples of oil, fuel and coolant to diagnose a machine's operating condition is a good way to prevent component failures and unplanned downtime. Much like conducting biometric screenings to diagnose a person's state of health, analyzing fluids is an accurate, reliable way to detect and resolve potential problems before they become major issues.
But putting 60+ samples an hour through a battery of sophisticated chemical tests without mixing them up is, by itself, no small feat.
Each fluid sample undergoes five tests ― depending on the fluid type and the preliminary results, some might require seven ― to check for viscosity, contaminants and wear metals. Think about that for a minute: That means our oil lab technicians must conduct and record the results for anywhere from 300 to 400 or more chemical tests every hour.
Add to that the extreme care that must be taken to ensure the validity of the test results ― measuring precisely, calibrating the equipment, following set procedures, keeping accurate records ― and you've got a real challenge.
Fortunately, our oil lab technicians are up to it.
Their days begin at 5:30 a.m., when Dennis Buckner brings in the sample bottles and sorts them by machine and fluid type. By 6:00, Sheri Delgado is hard at work, entering each sample into the LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) database according to the tests it requires while Alice Martinez begins checking and calibrating the equipment, monitoring the operating procedures, and verifying the data entries. By 6:30, Amelia Cullen and Travis Veitch are running the samples through the gamut of chemical tests and by 8:00, Eileen Garcia is at her computer in WCC, evaluating and interpreting the new data, comparing it with established baselines and previous results to look for trends.
Working in the oil lab takes commitment, integrity and ― above all else ― teamwork.
A basic knowledge of engines, hydraulics, transmissions and power trains is also helpful. Our oil lab team keeps up on equipment technology via online studies; Eileen, who interprets the test data, and Sheri, who backs up Eileen, must be recertified by Caterpillar every two years for this important job.
We applaud our team of topnotch oil lab technicians for their commitment to excellence. In March, they processed 10,638 oil samples, setting a new record and putting them on track to beat last year's total. It's easy to see why Ring Power has been at the forefront for fluids analysis since 1974.

In today's economy, controlling the spiraling costs associated with buying and maintaining equipment can be an important part of staying profitable.
Too often, equipment purchasing decisions are viewed as an unenviable dilemma: pay a premium for a new machine or deal with the long-term added service costs of buying used.
However, reductive thinking such as this can easily lead to paying too much when a less-expensive machine will do. Taking the time to research your purchase beforehand is essential. When it comes to used heavy equipment, knowing how to shop smartly will allow you to choose a machine that will deliver a lifetime of reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Why Buy Used?
The most obvious benefit to buying used construction equipment is the lower purchase price. When buying used, fleet owners can afford a higher caliber of machine than they would otherwise be able to afford if they were limited to new. This translates to increased productivity, greater fuel efficiency and lower operating costs overall. Some of the other benefits of buying used construction equipment include:
Is used construction equipment automatically a better value than new? Not always. For many contractors, buying new equipment represents an important investment in the future of their business. However, automatically dismissing a used machine as more expensive to operate and maintain can be a costly mistake. As with all things, exercising due diligence when shopping for machinery is essential. By looking critically at the value new machinery brings vs. the lower cost of buying used, you will be better positioned to evaluate your needs and make the best purchase decision for the long term.
The key to making a successful long-term decision involves knowing what to look for when shopping for used Cat equipment. We've gone into depth and created a general used construction equipment buying guide that will allow you to do just that.
How to Value Used Construction Equipment
Whether you're in the market for used construction equipment, used agricultural equipment or any other heavy machinery, your primary consideration is likely to be purchase price. When setting your budget, you should consider how you will arrange financing, what the long-term implications of an equipment lease will be to your operating budget, and what the anticipated operating costs will be for a given piece of equipment.
Obviously, your goal should be to choose the machine that will offer the best long-term value. While there are clear advantages to paying extra for a newer or better-equipped machine, exceeding your budget by too much can limit your ability to grow going forward. When setting a budget, ask yourself:
How long do I plan on using this machine? How will it fit into my long-term business plan? Is buying outright really the best decision, or should I consider renting?
A hard look at these and other important questions is essential to thinking broadly about your used equipment needs.
Knowing What to Pay
Unlike cars and on-highway trucks, there's no particular resource for pricing heavy equipment. Because of the high degree of customizability for individual machines, those in the market for a used asphalt paver, used crane truck or other piece of heavy equipment can't simply turn to the equivalent of the Kelly Blue Book for high and low values.
A few online resources, including the Equipment Watch Green Guide and Fastline, will make your search easier. However, neither can be considered a comprehensive or authoritative used heavy equipment price guide. (The Green Guide, in particular, requires a $1900 annual subscription fee, limiting its usefulness to all but dealers and auction houses.)
When you're shopping for used heavy equipment, the only way to be sure you're getting a fair deal is to do the research yourself. Prices for different machines can vary considerably from region to region. Check with your local used construction equipment dealer and account for any additional work tools or other upgrades you may need to configure a machine to your specific purposes.
For in-depth assistance, contact a Ring Power representative today.
Factors Affecting Purchase Prices
Knowing how to value used construction equipment is an inexact science. A number of different factors will affect the price a given machine will command on the market — often in unpredictable ways. When performing market research or shopping for a used machine, bear in mind the impact the following factors can have on pricing:
The value of used construction equipment does not depreciate evenly over time. Instead, about a year after purchase, depreciation slows and values remain relatively consistent provided the machine stays in good condition. At this point, the number of hours on the machine begins to play a larger role in determining resale values. An older machine with low hours that has been properly maintained will fetch more than one that shows its age more evidently.
It should come as no surprise that the manufacturer's reputation plays a large role in determining the value of used construction equipment. One of the reasons why Cat equipment holds its value so well is because of the company's Certified Rebuild program. Thanks to modular components that can be reconditioned, rebuilt or replaced, Cat machines have a built-in "second life" that will continue to deliver productivity for years to come.
The ability to do more in the field is an important selling point for any piece of used heavy equipment. It only makes sense that a machine that is better equipped will command a higher price than a bare-bones model. However, it's important to remember that additional features will require additional maintenance and increased training time — don't be swayed by bells and whistles that won't add long-term value to your fleet.
The vendor selling a used machine can play an important role in determining its market value — especially when compared to the uncertainty of buying from an unknown vendor. For example, many of the used generators, skid steer loaders and other equipment for sale at Ring Power have been sourced from our rental fleet. As a result, individual units have a detailed service history verifying that all regular maintenance has been performed to the highest standards. A reputable used Cat equipment vendor will also allow potential buyers to inspect and test equipment, and will back up everything they sell with some level of warranty support.
You don't need a degree in economics to know that shifting market conditions play a role in how the value of a used construction machine or generator is determined. A slow economy means less money is being spent on construction and infrastructure development. In turn, this means fewer potential purchasers for used machines, which drives down prices and gives buyers more room to negotiate. Seasonal and location-specific variations can also have an impact on certain machines — during peak local construction and logging times, used heavy equipment will be in greater demand and will command higher prices.
Renting vs. Buying: Understanding Operating Costs
With the many factors that determine how to value used construction equipment, many fleet owners opt for the more stable costs associated with renting, particularly for short-term or one-off projects.
Is renting a better option for your business? The answer may not be as straightforward as you think. For an in-depth look at the bottom line costs associated with renting and owning used construction equipment, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers publishes a comprehensive Construction Equipment Ownership and Operating Expense Schedule that can be useful. The guide offers region-specific methodology for determining the operating costs of different types of heavy equipment, including local gas and diesel prices, electricity costs, import, tax and freight rates, and more. You'll be able to determine hourly operating costs, which can then be referenced against rental rates to determine the best overall option for a one-off job.
Making a Smart Purchase
Once you have identified your equipment needs and settled on a budget that's both realistic for the type of machine you want and within your means, you can begin the process of looking at potential purchases. Here, again, some research and a critical eye will be essential allies when making a decision.
To ensure you get a machine that delivers reliable performance and a solid return on your investment, you need to know a potential purchase is both mechanically and structurally sound. Any reputable used heavy equipment vendor will allow you to perform a thorough inspection before making a decision.
If you have the opportunity to try out the machine, check for visibility, vibrations through the seat or floor, noise and temperature levels, and any reflections, glares or other distractions. While many of these things may seem like minor nuisances at first, try to imagine yourself working an eight hour shift in the machine — what factors will impede your comfort and productivity over the course of the day? Can they be easily fixed or altered to provide a better user experience? If not, would a different machine be better suited to the task?
Get underneath the machine and inspect the undercarriage for damage, repairs or worn parts that will require replacing. Make sure you look for cracked windows and other cosmetic damages that haven't been fixed. While a well-used machine can be expected to display some wear and tear, the presence of potential safety hazards that are left unaddressed can indicate a lack of upkeep.
Start the engine and listen for any abnormal noises, look for smoke, and check to ensure all gauges are working properly and no error messages come up. Put the transmission into gear and see how smoothly it goes. Move the machine forwards and backwards, and listen for any squeaks or noises that may indicate worn-out rollers or other components. Lastly, step outside the machine and make sure exhaust emissions are properly vented and that all moving parts, hot surfaces and other potential safety hazards are guarded.
Ultimately, your experience and intuition as an owner/operator is essential when shopping for used machinery. Be sure to ask questions and bring along other team members with expertise in a given piece of equipment. The more trustworthy eyes you have on a potential purchase, the more informed you will be about its overall condition and future maintenance costs.
The Importance of Diagnostics and Service Histories
Evidence of regular maintenance is one of the most important roles in determining the value of used construction equipment. A machine that has been treated well will have fewer problems in the long term, making it worth paying extra for initially.
Ask to see all maintenance records and confirm that the engine, transmission, hydraulics, suspension and other parts have been maintained according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Take note of any major repairs that were performed, particularly if they appear to recur in a specific problem area.
While newly-replaced parts can be an important selling point, they may also indicate a history of improper use or neglect. Ask both why a repair was performed and how it was done — the use of OEM parts and the following of manufacturer's repair vs. replace guidelines all indicate an appropriate level of care has been taken.
One indicator that due care has been taken with a machine's maintenance is a record of regular oil analysis, such as the Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) protocol. The presence of metal particulates in a machine's engine and hydraulic oil indicates wear on replaceable components. Tracking levels of different metals provides a key insight into the condition of these parts over time. While oil sampling is most effective when performed at regular intervals, it can also be helpful as part of a pre-purchase inspection. Ask that a full report and analysis be provided before making any decision to buy.

Ring Power Corporation proudly announces their 50-year, golden anniversary as a Caterpillar dealership in Florida. In 1961, L.C. Ringhaver, the owner of the world's largest shrimp boat manufacturer, Diesel Engine Sales, Inc. (DESCO), acquired the Caterpillar engine dealership rights from Jacksonville-based Gibbs Corporation. Originally established in St. Augustine, Fla., Ring Power Corp. was founded to sell and service Cat® marine engines to Northeast Florida's thriving shrimp trawler industry. Following the death of Cat dealer Lobrano Machinery Company's president and owner, Tom Lobrano, Ring Power Corporation was awarded the dealer territory in Jacksonville, Ocala and Tallahassee, Fla. for the full line of Caterpillar equipment in March of 1962.
In 1986, Caterpillar awarded the Central Florida dealership rights to the Ringhavers. Lance Ringhaver moved to Tampa, Fla. to start a new dealership, Ringhaver Equipment Company, while Randy Ringhaver took leadership of Ring Power Corporation in Jacksonville. For nearly two decades, both Cat dealerships continued to flourish, taking on new business opportunities and products such as an expanded power systems line, rental equipment operations, forklifts, cranes, air compressors and utility equipment, all backed by parts and product support.In 2004, Ringhaver Equipment Company and Ring Power Corporation officially merged into one consolidated company with Randy Ringhaver as Chairman and President of the new Ring Power Corporation. The combined Cat dealership territory now consists of 44 counties throughout North and Central Florida.
Ring Power Corporation, the North and Central Florida Caterpillar dealer, is headquartered in St. Augustine, Florida. Ring Power is comprised of eight divisions and has 50 years of experience servicing and supporting Caterpillar and allied equipment.

'Creating Organisational Insight for IT Project Foresight'
Only one in three IT projects will be successfully delivered, with one in four either failing or being cancelled, says Sarah Runge, author of Stop Blaming the Software.
Many other projects are "challenged" with massive budget overruns and are not delivering the required functionality.
Globally, the cost of IT project failures reaches US$6.2 trillion a year, she says.

Link: South Korea denies entry to peace activists
South Korea: Anti-THAAD protests
Reflection on the word crusade really tells the whole story here. On the one hand a crusade, for example a crusade for racial justice, denotes something noble and admirable, but on the other hand a crusade can denote a blind and unacceptable charge for conquest and domination. Sometimes the second type of crusade can develop as an excess of the first type. Sometimes we hear of victims of injustice or revolutionaries that successfully overturn oppression (I think here of the British during the blitz/ battle of Britain) making claims like "the war brought out the best in us" which tend to mean, as far as I can understand, that war and fighting brings people together and connects them with their national spirit. The danger of course is if after victory the intoxication and spiritual togetherness of the struggle becomes chauvinistic—if picking fights becomes the only way to sustain the momentum of unity and popular will.
From a social justice perspective this sort of chauvinism can express itself through ethnic or ideological co-option of privilege, in opposition to meritocracy. That is to say that where overcoming victim-hood can indeed sometimes require positively discriminating, once overcome there is of course the danger of sustaining a positive discrimination no longer entitled to the adjective i.e. sustaining just plain, simple and ugly discrimination. In other words when the fight against victim-hood allows positive discrimination to run beyond its original aims and past its desired victory, it gives birth to what we might call the victim-aggressor, or the victim oppressor.
And so history plays out cycles where one and the same kin-group can go through chapters of victim-hood followed by chapters of dominance, followed again by chapters of victim-hood and so on. For as long as ideologies persist that indoctrinate belief in a privilege chosen only for the culturally or ideologically superior/pure (rather than on meritocratic grounds) such conflict cycles— leveraging attitudes of 'positive discrimination' beyond legitimate remit— will ultimately drive destruction. Leadership and hope is found in forgiveness, collaboration, and self-reliance—not in chauvinism, score settling, or fear and domination of an 'eternal enemy'. Feigning leadership to court power is not leadership—Western society in particular must judge carefully when allocating privilege if peace, prosperity, and correction of past wrongs is to find a sustainable and balanced equilibrium. In sum, we need leaders who can think about beginning history, not concluding it!
Thought in process!
I will be on annual leave from July 1 through September 1 during which time I will not be posting to this blog or taking on new clients.
With kind regards and best wishes

Players will guide the powerful Protoss in the epic conclusion to Blizzard's award-winning RTS series and aim to unite the three races in the ultimate battle for survival against an ancient evil threatening all life in the universe. Featuring new units and the introduction of new cooperative and multiplayer modes, Legacy of the Void is the ultimate strategy experience and StarCraft at its finest.
It looks like we don't have any reviews for this game yet!
BroRockerNovember 18, 2015 @ 9:42 am
This was probably my favorite campaign of the three parts (although all 3 were great). I loved how they tied up all the story lines. Another aspect that I really loved was that, as a long-time Starcraft fan, they acknowledged and brought back characters and storylines from the original game and expansion. It was a bittersweet ending, and from where they left the story, I honestly don't know what could be next for this franchise. I think there are many more stories to be told in this universe and hopefully the demand will be there to do so.

Green Cars' is the term used for zero, low and ultra-low emission vehicles (ULEVs) - with pressure being applied to lower global emission levels, the need for "eco-friendly" vehicles is on the rise. Many countries now have plans in place to abolish the use of combustion engines before the turn of the century and so more and more vehicles we see on the roads will be Electric, hybrid or very low emission petrol and diesels.
Although beneficial to the environment, 'Green Cars' are also beneficial from a taxation view. The lower a vehicle's emissions banding, the lower the taxation placed against it. Many manufacturers have tapped in to this ever-growing market with their own offerings, however, Volvo were the first manufacturer to state that every one of their models will be either electric or hybrid options from 2019.

Innovation That Matters
eConsent Revolutionizing The Registration Process
The current process of documenting consent on paper meant that it took a lot of time to register the patients and resulted in a cumbersome paperwork reducing the efficiency. CliniOps introduced the FDA compliant eConsent procedure which helped our clients register the required patients in record time, while making it really easy to manage and archive Informed Consent documents.
Clients Addressing The Adverse Events in Real Time
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (AE/SAE) are critical for clinical trials and they can potentially shut down the trials if not handled properly. Many sites, especially in resource-poor settings, find it extremely difficult to adhere to the strict AE/SAE protocol requirements.
CliniOps provides trial administrators an ability to receive notification of an AE/SAE event in real-time from any of the trial sites across the world. One of our clients was exhilarated to see this innovation in action, which helped them respond to the situation in a timely manner with real-time access to AE/SAE reporting across all their sites'.
