After the Fear was Over? What Came After Dictatorships in Spain, Greece, and Portugal
Helen Graham and Alejandro Quiroga
What Spain, Greece, and Portugal have in common in the twentieth century is the manner in which their internal processes of change – rural to urban, agrarian to industrial – were intervened in and inflected at crucial moments and with enduring effect by the force of international political agendas. By the 1960s, in all three countries, the fearful imaginaries of traditionalists still saw a disguised form of communism in the 'godlessness' of Americanisation, social liberalisation, and anti-puritanism. This article adopts a tripartite structure (1945: survival; 1970s: transition; after 1989: memory) in order to explore why, how, and with what consequences Southern European political establishments with clear Nazi links or empathies not only survived the collapse of Adolf Hitler's new order, but were also able to persist as dictatorial and authoritarian regimes into the 1970s. It then interrogates the nature of the subsequent transitions to parliamentary democracy, paying particular attention to the continuities. It is remarkable, even today, how few Western European or North American commentators understand the brutality beneath the burlesque of dictatorship in Southern Europe.
Brothers, Strangers and Enemies: Ethno-Nationalism and the Demise of Communist Yugoslavia
Cathie Carmichael
In the forty-five years after World War II that Communist Yugoslavia existed, judgements as to the success of the experiment differed widely. Unlike the first royalist Yugoslav state, which had been dominated by the Serbian Karadjordjević Dynasty, the new country eventually gave recognition to all nationalities within the limits of its own authoritarian ideology. The creation of the second Yugoslavia united Bosnian Muslims, Albanians, Serbs, Montenegrins, Macedonians, Croats, and Slovenes with significant Hungarian, Roma, Italian, and Turkish minorities into a single, nominally Leninist state. What united it was the charismatic authority of its wartime leader Josip Broz Tito and a very large and politically significant army. After the break with the Soviet Union in 1948, the Yugoslav Communists veered on an uneasy path between centralisation and republican autonomy. The Communists showed little respect for traditional culture and religion when they came to power. This article focuses on ethno-nationalism and the demise of Communist Yugoslavia.
A Continent Bristling With Arms: Continuity and Change In Western European Security Policies After the Second World War
Leopoldo Nuti
Since the end of World War II, Europe has known an unprecedented period of peace that has profoundly altered the political landscape of the continent. Yet at the same time, for much of the postwar period, this peace has been accompanied by frightening preparations for a global nuclear war – in the 1960s, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) planned to deploy in Western Europe 7,000 tactical atomic warheads of different yields – and by a number of recurrent crises that repeatedly threatened the stability of the postwar order. Nor should one neglect the fact that two European powers – France and Britain – still field the third and fifth largest nuclear arsenals in the whole world respectively. This article explores the post World War II evolution of defence and security policies in Western Europe, as well as the role of nuclear weapons in European security and the shifting perceptions of war in European public opinion and mentality. After considering colonial empires, decolonisation and nuclear issues, it discusses the last years of the Cold War.
East, West, and the Return of 'Central': Borders Drawn and Redrawn
Catherine Lee and Robert Bideleux
Western Europe has not only met but also married Eastern Europe, even if there are rumours that it was a marriage of convenience, consummated in 'EU Europe'. Nevertheless, a significant outcome of the cohabitation has been the resurgence of debates about the status, location, and distinctiveness of 'Central Europe'; the changing nature of borders and borderlands; and the emergence of 'new' East/West divides. Because World War II was predominantly fought on the Eastern Front, almost 95 per cent of Europe's fatalities of war and genocide were in Central and Eastern Europe (including Germany and Austria). These mass killings, combined with the paramount role of the Soviet Union in the defeat of the Third Reich, led to substantial reconfigurations of the borders and ethnic compositions of European states. This article examines the reconfigurations of European territories at the close of World War II, the drastic redrawing of European borders during 1945–1948 and again in the late 1980s and 1990s, the impact on European borders of the European Union and its 'deepening' and 'widening', and Europe's new East/West divide.
Eastern Europe
Bernd Stöver
This chapter examines the role and experience of Eastern Europe in the Cold War. It explains that the history of East Central Europe's Cold War began with the gradual dissolution of the anti-Hitler coalition at the end of World War 2 and that the transition to the officially declared Cold War was accompanied by various official statements. The chapter describes how the Cold War escalated with the Eastern bloc uprisings between 1953 and 1956, and argues that the construction of the Berlin Wall represented the main watershed in the history of the Eastern bloc as well as in the evolution of the Cold War.
Europe's Cold War
Jussi M. Hanhimäki
In 1945, much of Europe was in rubble, following an orgy of violence and genocide unprecedented in recorded history. This alone provides one explanation for the phenomenal rise of Soviet and American power in Europe after World War II. And given the ideological differences, material capabilities, security interests, and contrasting personalities of those in power, it was no wonder that any possibility of cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States vanished after the common objective of defeating the Axis powers had been achieved. While the Cold War may not have been inevitable, it would have been difficult to avoid. This article explores the evolution of transatlantic relations during the Cold War, with particular emphasis on Geir Lundestad's thesis about 'empire by invitation'. It then turns to the other side of the Cold War divide and evaluates the supposed omnipotence of the Soviet Union over its client states. The article also examines the cracks in the Iron Curtain – the evolution of relations between, beneath, and beyond the two blocs in Europe.
European Integration: The Rescue of the Nation State?
Robert Bideleux
Rejecting claims that European integration has been inimical or antithetical to nations, states, and 'national' interests, Alan Milward's The European Rescue of the Nation-State (1992) argues that the relationship between European integration and the nation-state has been mutually beneficial and supportive. This article discusses the European Union's 'rescues' of small and sub-state nations, languages, cultures, and minorities; EU state-building and 'rescues of the nation-state' in the post-Communist East Central European, Baltic, and Balkan regions; transformations of the states in need of 'rescue', focusing on 'embedded neoliberalism'; the EU and 'the nation-state' after the Lisbon Treaty of 2009; the 'Great Recession' of 2008–2009 and the eurozone crises of 2010–2012; and the decade-long 'money illusion' of economic prosperity in Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain.
'Gentlemen, you are Mad!': Mutual Assured Destruction and Cold War Culture
Ivan T. Berend
In the year after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the historian and critic Lewis Mumford made a dramatic attack on the insanity of the nuclear age. In his article entitled 'Gentlemen: You are Mad!', Mumford said: 'We in America are living among madmen. Madmen govern our affairs in the name of order and security'. According to Mumford, the modern superweapon society, for all its technological supremacy, was unable to recognise the looming disaster. People were sleepwalking towards the abyss of atomic war. The Cold War arms race created and served to maintain what Winston Churchill termed 'the balance of terror'. By the end of the 1960s, both the United States and the Soviet Union had more than enough nuclear weapons to withstand a first strike and still be able to retaliate. This article explores how mutual assured destruction (MAD) was reflected and refracted in European culture and society from 1950 to 1985, and shows how film and fiction played a key role in highlighting the potential effects of MAD – a global nuclear holocaust.
Making Postwar Communism
Mark Pittaway
The Soviet Union's victory in World War II offered both Moscow and Communists in Europe the opportunity to break out of the isolation that had afflicted them during the interwar years. With the end of the war in Europe in 1945, the Soviet front line traversed Central Europe from Germany's Baltic Coast in the north to the Yugoslav–Italian border in the south. By the mid-1950s, the enhanced influence of communism had been both consolidated and contained. Explaining the paradoxical consolidation and containment of communism's influence across the continent is fundamental to grasping the contours of politics in Europe during the postwar period. The dominant strand in the historiography that approaches such an explanation is informed by the perspective of international history. The pressures of survival during the precarious situation for the Soviet Union that persisted throughout 1942 reinforced the non-participatory, bureaucratic Stalinism which emerged during 1939–1940. The launch of Barbarossa underpinned an escalation in the radicalisation of Nazism.
Power and Culture in the West
Christopher Endy
This chapter, which analyzes the Cold War culture in the West, suggests that there are three major forms of western Cold War culture. These include the culture of anti-communist repression, the culture of progressive reform and inclusion, and the culture of popular resistance to elite-driven Cold War mobilization. The chapter provides a definition of culture and "west," and highlights the role of Catholicism in Latin America in Cold War culture. It also suggests that an analysis of western Cold War culture should start in the mid-1940s when the surge in leftist politics led moderate and conservative elites to pursue appeasement, repression, or a combination of both.
The Truth About Friendship Treaties: Behind The Iron Curtain
Douglas Selvage
The basic, legal building blocks for the Soviet sphere of influence during the Cold War were the bilateral 'Treaties of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance' between the states of East Central Europe and the Soviet Union. Germany was the main potential enemy, but the treaties also applied to any state allied with it or any third state in general – most importantly, the United States. This article traces the evolution of the East Central European states' limited sovereignty from the origins of the friendship-treaty system during World War II through to its final reformulation in the mid-1970s. In terms of the Soviet bloc friendship treaties, one can speak of three periodsm the first of which began with the establishment of the system of friendship treaties under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin, 1943–1948, and ended with his death in 1953. A second period began after Stalin's death in 1953 and the eventual assumption of power by Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev, whose removal ushered in a third and final period for the friendship-treaty system under his successor, Leonid Brezhnev.
Western Europe
Andreas Etges
This chapter explores the role and experience of Western Europe in the Cold War. It explains that Western Europe is not a precise political or geographical entity, and that its role in the Cold War can only be understood in the context of its changing internal dynamics and changing relationship with the United States, the Soviet Union, and countries of Eastern Europe. The chapter argues that Western Europe both shaped and was shaped by Cold War in a political, economic, military, cultural, and ideological sense, and also considers the German question, Franco-German rapprochement and European integration, and military aspects of the Western alliance.
What Comes After Communism?
Michael Shafir
Was it communism or socialism that succumbed in 1989? Was communism dead in 1989, when the 'Sinatra Doctrine' ('each does it his own way') replaced the Brezhnev Doctrine in East Central Europe? Or did the patient agonise until the official dismemberment of the Soviet Union in 1991? Twenty-seven countries share a communist past in Europe and Asia. Of the surviving five, not all would pass the 'Leninist test'. Which legacies affect post-communist systems has been an issue under debate since shortly after the fall of the Old Regimes. Claus Offe pointed out that post-communist regimes are faced with a 'dilemma of simultaneity', amounting to a 'triple transition': the process of having to cope concomitantly with unconsolidated borders, democratisation, and property redistribution. While other authors have often wondered which legacies 'count' in post-communism (those of communism itself or the ante-communist heritage), it is Herbert Kitschelt's merit to have pointed out that the modes of communist rule have been in turn influenced by historical antecedents.

Anemia, Aplastic
Anemia, Aplastic is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Clinical Consult.
To view the entire topic, please sign in or purchase a subscription.
Medicine Central™ is a quick-consult mobile and web resource that includes diagnosis, treatment, medications, and follow-up information on over 700 diseases and disorders, providing fast answers—anytime, anywhere. Explore these free sample topics:
-- The first section of this topic is shown below --
- Pancytopenia due to hypocellular bone marrow without the presence of infiltrates or fibrosis; classified as acquired (much more common) and congenital
- Acquired aplastic anemia: insidious onset; due to exogenous insult triggering an autoimmune reaction; often responsive to immunosuppression
- Congenital forms: rare, mostly present in childhood (exception is atypical presentation of Fanconi syndrome in adults; 30s for males and 40s for females)
- The occurrence of specific mutations in genes of the telomere complex in acquired aplastic anemia has blurred the distinction between the congenital and acquired forms.
- System(s) affected: heme/lymphatic/immunologic
- Synonym(s): hypoplastic anemia; panmyelophthisis; refractory anemia; aleukia hemorrhagica; toxic paralytic anemia
- Early intervention for aplastic anemia greatly improves the chances of treatment success.
- Hematopoietic growth factors require close monitoring in newly diagnosed patients.
Geriatric Considerations
The elderly are often exposed to large numbers of drugs and therefore may be more susceptible to acquired aplastic anemia.
Pediatric Considerations
- Congenital forms of aplastic anemia require different treatment regimens than acquired forms.
- Acquired aplastic anemia is seen in children exposed to ionizing radiation or treated with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents.
Pregnancy Considerations
- Pregnancy is a real but rare cause of aplastic anemia. Symptoms may resolve after delivery and with termination.
- Complications in pregnancy can occur from low platelet counts and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria-associated aplastic anemia.
- Predominant age (1): biphasic 15 to 25 years (more common) and >60 years
- Predominant sex: male = female
- 2 to 3 new cases per million per year in Europe and North America
- The incidence is 3-fold higher in Thailand and China versus the Western world.
Etiology and Pathophysiology
- Idiopathic (~70% of the cases)
- Drugs: phenylbutazone, chloramphenicol, sulfonamides, gold, cytotoxic drugs, antiepileptics (felbamate, carbamazepine, valproic acid, phenytoin)
- Viral: HIV, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), nontypeable postinfectious hepatitis (not A, B, or C), parvovirus B19 (mostly in the immunocompromised), atypical mycobacterium
- Toxic exposure (benzene, pesticides, arsenic)
- Radiation exposure
- Immune disorders (systemic lupus erythematosus, eosinophilic fasciitis, graft versus host disease)
- Pregnancy (rare)
- Congenital (Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia)
- The immune hypothesis: activation of T cells with associated cytokine production leading to destruction or injury of hematopoietic stem cells. This leads to a hypocellular bone marrow without marrow fibrosis.
- The activation of T cells likely occurs because of both genetic and environmental factors. Exposure to specific environmental precipitants, diverse host, genetic risk factors, and individual differences in characteristics of immune response likely account for variations in its clinical manifestations and patterns of responsiveness to treatment.
- Telomerase deficiency leads to short telomeres. This leads to impaired regenerative capacity and hence a reduction in marrow progenitors and qualitative deficiency in the repair capacity of hematopoietic tissue.
- Reduction of natural killer cells in the bone marrow
- A somatic mutation of the PIGA gene underlies the clonal disease paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH): There is direct evidence that the expansion of the PIGA mutant clone results from Darwinian selection exerted by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-specific autoimmune attack (2).
- Telomerase mutations found in a small number of patients with acquired and congenital forms. These mutations render carriers more susceptible to environmental insults.
- Mutations in genes called TERC and TERT were found in pedigrees of adults with acquired aplastic anemia who lacked the physical abnormalities or a family history typical of inherited forms of bone marrow failure. These genes encode for the RNA component of telomerase.
- HLA-DR2 incidence in aplastic anemia is twice that in the normal population.
Risk Factors
- Treatment with high-dose radiation or chemotherapy
- Exposure to toxic chemicals
- Use of certain medications
- Certain blood diseases, autoimmune disorders, and serious infections
- Tumors of thymus (red cell aplasia)
- Pregnancy, rarely
General Prevention
- Avoid possible toxic industrial agents.
- Use safety measures when working with radiation.

A popular Plymouth chippy has won two awards at a prestigious Fish and Chips ceremony.
Harbourside Fish and Chips, based on the Barbican, were named as the third best independent chip shop in the whole of the UK, while head chef Andy Hillier came third in the Young Fish Fryer of the Year competition.
It's the highest that the Plymouth venue has ever ranked in this competition and they aim to build on this success for the rest of 2018 and beyond.
Co-owner Sarah Lock said: "We are absolutely delighted. We've all worked really hard at all aspects.
"Hopefully next year we can win the whole thing!
"But, most importantly, we just want to keep giving out great fish and chips for our wonderful customers."
Following a rigorous judging process which saw Harbourside rank as the best in the South West back in September, the Southside Street venue then competed against nine other 10 businesses nationwide to get the top prize.
"It's an honour to be recognised for our hard work and devotion to the fish and chip industry," Ms Lock added.
"Our success in getting this far is, without a doubt, down to the dedication and hard work of our staff who work as a close-knit team.
"We truly are a family-run business and we pride ourselves on our family ethos, but most importantly we have such a passion for fish and chips."
It's also a special day for Mr Hillier who was named as the UK's third best young fryer of the year.
After three previous attempts, Mr Hillier finally qualified for the national finals following an impressive year at the venue.
In addition to having to pass an exam and various telephone interviews to get on to the national stage, he then had to undergo a skills based assessment and take part in a judging day at the National Federation of Fish Friers (NFFF) Training School in Leeds.
Harbourside were also highly commended in both the 'Good Catch – The Sustainable Seafood Award' and the 'From Field to Frier Award'.

Foundational Research
Baseline Study
To ensure the project effectively capitalizes on existing work—whether in cultural heritage or other relevant fields, such as analytical chemistry, forensics, or digital imaging—a baseline study will be performed. The study will summarize relevant existing projects' aims and scope, milestones, progress-to-date, pitfalls and limitations, and lessons learned during the projects' development and execution. Additionally, models for open-source and open data projects will be reviewed.
Use Cases
To ensure that the data integration environment ultimately developed meets the research needs of the different potential user groups (stakeholders), comprehensive use cases will be prepared. Use case analysis is a technique commonly employed in software development to identify the necessary functional requirements through an analysis of the needs of each group of potential end-users. For the cultural heritage research community, end-user groups will include practicing conservators, scientists, and curators, as well as academic research partners and other constituents active in cultural heritage research.
Review of Standards and Software Tools
Successful data integration will also require the development of common metadata standards and standard ontologies, agreed upon by the international cultural heritage community. Therefore the project team will undertake a review of existing relevant standards for the core data (i.e., technical conservation images and scientific data) and associated metadata, as well as existing relevant dedicated vocabularies and ontologies necessary to enable a linked open data approach to data integration.

Both liquid funds and debt funds are types of Mutual Funds.
Liquid Funds are Debt Mutual Funds. They invest in money market instruments with a maturity of a maximum of 91 days. Therefore, they earn the lowest interest rate among debt funds. The best thing about Liquid Funds is that they are highly liquid.
Therefore, Liquid Funds are one of the best mutual funds to earn good returns in a short duration if you have idle money in your bank account.
Debt funds are invested in a portfolio of debt or fixed income instruments like money market instruments and bonds (government, corporate) for a longer period of time. Debt funds give a steady income with lower risks as compared to equities. Liquid funds, ultra short-term funds, short-term funds, dynamic bond funds, long-term income funds and gilt funds are the different types of Debt Funds.

You May Also Watch:
Debt funds are categorized as:
1. Short-Term Debt Funds:
Short-Term Debt Funds are also called Money Market or Liquid Funds. These are invested for a period of not more than 91 days. The absence of mark to market for securities less than 60 days to maturity, makes them less volatile.
2. Ultra Short-Term plans:
Ultra Short-Term plans invest in money market instruments and short-term securities with a maturity of 365 days. Short Term Plans invest most of your money in short-term debt securities. However, a small portion is invested in long-term debt securities.
Although short-term funds give higher returns than liquid funds and ultra-short term funds, these are highly risky as they are exposed to higher mark to market risks. Short-term securities give interest income and long-term securities, capital gains.
3. Long-Term Debt Funds:
Long-Term Debt funds give both interest income and capital appreciation. The price of securities in Long-Term Debt Funds may go up or down and hence, the total returns are volatile compared to short-term debt funds. This is because market interest rates and price of a bond are inversely related.
SEE ALSO: How to Invest in Liquid Funds?
Income Funds are invested in both short and long-term debt securities. The investment may be spread over Government, Public sector and Private sector companies
5. Gilt Funds:
Gilt Funds are invested in medium and long-term government securities. As it is the government securities in question, risk element is low, liquidity is higher and the prices are sensitive to interest rate changes.
In case of Dynamic Debt Funds, there are no restrictions on the types of securities or their maturity period. When it comes to interest rate risk and credit risk, management of Dynamic Debt Funds are flexible and dynamic.
7. Floating Rate Funds:
As the name goes, Floating Rate Funds primarily invest in floating rate debt instruments. The coupon rate of such securities are not fixed for the term of the instrument. The reset period of such securities is at the time of issuance of the bond. Be Wise, Get Rich.

Congress approves a $15 billion federal aid package for the battered US airline industry, and sets up a government fund to compensate 9/11 victims' relatives. [Los Angeles Times, 9/22/2001] However, relatives are only allowed to sue US-designated terrorists, and if they sue anyone else, they are not entitled to any compensation money. The law also limits the airlines' liability to the limits of their insurance coverage—around $1.5 billion per plane. [Los Angeles Times, 1/17/2002] Nevertheless, some later sue entities that make them ineligible for the fund, such as the Port Authority, owner of the WTC.

Some of the 9/11 victims' relatives hold a rally at the US Capitol to protest what they fear are plans by the Bush administration to delay or block their lawsuit against prominent Saudi individuals for an alleged role in financing al-Qaeda. [Washington Post, 11/1/2002] US officials say they have not decided whether to submit a motion seeking to block or restrict the lawsuit, but they are concerned about the "diplomatic sensitivities" of the suit. Saudis have withdrawn hundreds of billions of dollars from the US in response to the suit. The Guardian previously reported that "some plaintiffs in the case say the Bush administration is pressuring them to pull out of the lawsuit in order to avoid damaging US-Saudi relations, threatening them with the prospect of being denied any money from the government's own compensation scheme if they continue to pursue it. Bereaved relatives who apply to the federal compensation scheme must, in any case, sign away their rights to sue the government, air carriers in the US, and other domestic bodies—a condition that has prompted some of them to call the government compensation 'hush money.' The fund is expected, in the end, to pay out $4 billion. They remain, however, free to sue those they accuse of being directly responsible for the attacks, such as bin Laden, and—so they thought—the alleged financers of terrorism."

The deadline arrives for 9/11 victims' relatives to apply for government compensation. [Toronto Star, 12/23/2003] By receiving an award from the fund, families give up their right to sue the airlines, airports, security companies, or other US organizations that may be faulted for negligence and inadequate security measures. [CBS News, 3/7/2002; USA Today, 7/13/2003; Washington Post, 9/10/2003] Relatives may still sue "knowing participants in the hijacking conspiracy" without losing compensation. [USA Today, 7/13/2003] Ninety-seven per cent of the 2,973 eligible families apply to the fund; compensation averages about $2.1 million per family. However, 70 families decide to forego the fund, and instead sue various government agencies and private companies for alleged negligence. [New York Times, 6/16/2004; Guardian, 6/16/2004] Widow Beverly Eckert explains her decision: "I am suing because unlike other investigative avenues… my lawsuit requires all testimony be given under oath and fully uses powers to compel evidence. The victims' fund was not created in a spirit of compassion.… Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the September 11 fires still smoldered."

A report by the 9/11 Commission on the FAA and 9/11 is publicly released. The fact that the report reveals nearly half of all FAA daily briefings between April and early September 2001 mentioned al-Qaeda, bin Laden, or both causes headlines (see April 1, 2001-September 10, 2001). However, the report was actually completed in August 2004 but was held up by the Bush administration. Some speculate that the publication of the report was delayed until after the November 2004 presidential election to help Bush get reelected. For instance, 9/11 victim's relative Carol Ashley states, "I'm just appalled that this was withheld for five months. That contributes to the idea that the government knew something and didn't act, it contributes to the conspiracy theories out there." Representative Henry Waxman (D-CA) asks for a hearing on whether the Bush administration played politics with the report's release, but the Republican-controlled House of Representatives does not allow such a hearing. [Associated Press, 2/11/2005] Additionally, the released version of this report is heavily censored in some areas. The 9/11 Commission asserts that the whole report should be released, but the Bush administration is blocking their efforts to release the censored portions. Politicians, 9/11 victims' relatives, open-government advocates, and others call for the release of the entire report, but to no avail. [New York Times, 2/11/2005]

[Source: Ron Sachs/Consolidated News Photos]Philip Zelikow, formerly the executive director of the 9/11 Commission, will serve as a senior adviser for Condoleezza Rice in her new position as secretary of state. His position, counselor of the United States Department of State, is considered equal to undersecretary of state. [Richmond Times-Dispatch, 2/28/2005] Rice says: "Philip and I have worked together for years. I value his counsel and expertise. I appreciate his willingness to take on this assignment." According to author Philip Shenon, Zelikow tells his new colleagues at the State Department that it is "the sort of job he had always wanted." [Shenon, 2008, pp. 418] 9/11 victims' relatives groups had demanded Zelikow's resignation from the 9/11 Commission, claiming conflict of interest, including being too close to Rice (see March 21, 2004).

When two brothers fell in love with a clock in the Renaissance Building of Piazza San Marco on a trip there, they instantly wanted to bring to life the beauty of the clockwork and distribute it in timepiece form. The clock used 16th century watchmaking mechanics, and fearing that this beautiful mechanic was going to fall into obsoletion, they recreated it in each of the Meccaniche Veneziane watches.
The Meccaniche Veneziane watches offer you three different choices when it comes to unique collections, letting you find the watch that best suits your style. These collections are the Redentore, the Arsenale and the Nereide. The Nereide collection takes its cues from a Venetian submarine called the Nereide, its classic design made specifically for the Royal Arsenale in 1913. With the Redentore, the influence comes from a building designed by a famous Venetian architect, Andrea Palldio. The Arsenale gets its inspiration from the ships in the Royal Shipyard situated inside of the Serenissima Republic.
Your interest in purchasing any one of these Meccaniche Veneziane watches will take you to their official website. There, you can browse all three of the watch collections mentioned here to find the perfect one for you. The prices range anywhere between EUR 519 and EUR 879 across all three collections. Purchase one of the watches that are immediately available on the site or preorder any of the styles that will be available at a later date. No matter which path you take, each one of these watches comes with free shipping to anywhere on the globe.

Remember that one time when I told you all my favorite TV shows, and said that I might share my favorite movies? Well, you're welcome!
Grease (1978)
I honestly couldn't tell you how old I was when I first saw this gem, but I can tell you that I was hooked from the first instance. The singing, the dancing! Danny Zuko in those tiiiight jeans! Rizzo and her hot mess storyline, and sweet, innocent Sandy. I wanted to be a part of the gang.
This is probably why I became addicted to redemption arcs.
Hairspray (2007)
The body positivity and overall message of loving your brother regardless of race, size or social standing just tugged at my heartstrings. This is one of those shows that just stay with you forever.
Plus, it's a musical and musicals are my weakness…soooo…yeah.
Would it be obvious if I said the HP movies? Yes? Ohhhhh well…
Harry Potter (1 -7)
To this day there are very few books that I can say have resonated with me as with the HP series, and that love translates as equally to the movies. There is no particular time that I watch these movies, whenever it's on, I sit there and binge. Or sometimes the mood will hit and I'll have my own personal marathon.
I even converted mummy, so I feel like my life's work is complete!
Pretty Woman (1990)
Judge not, lest ye be judged. This movie taught me that lesson in the most real-world way imaginable. Also, the reason I love rags to riches tropes as well. You know what? That's going to be my next guilty pleasures list.
Pretty much any Molly Ringwald/John Hughes movie
Quintessential eighties nostalgia wrapped up in a movie. Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles…etc…, I love them all. Molly is the constant underdog who rises to the top…
Honorable mentions
Hocus Pocus (1993)
When is the second one coming? They've been teasing it for ages, and I'm only getting older and pining away. What are you doing to me???
Scary Movie 2 (2001)
Yes, it's hella problematic, but I just can't help it. I laugh at all the same places regardless of how many times I've seen it. What is wrong with me??
There are so much more than just these 2 but…if I don't stop here I'll make a list that's at least 20 movies long…
Until next time, keep reading/watching
Dee ^_^

This has been dashed off fairly quickly, I may add to it in 24 hours, as I think of other elements I want to address.
NB – I am a scholar, with a scholarly interest in fandom. I am not a lawyer, nor am I a publisher. But the opinions expressed below are based on things that I have read from people I respect, and people who *do* seem to know what they're talking about.
A day or so ago, Amazon announced their newest project, Kindle Worlds, an attempt to monetise, and 'legitimise' fan fiction. Almost immediately, my social media lit up with response. Some people were raving about the potential for this to see creators and fic authors get compensated for their work. Others were far less positive, and saw a number of concerning aspects to this move.
My immediate instinct was that something *felt* wrong about this idea. But I was really struggling to construct an argument that actually laid out the problems with it.
Here are the arguments that I've heard:
"This will legitimise fan fiction" – no. Fan fiction is already legitimate. As far back as we have storytelling, we have people taking known characters and worlds, and telling new stories with them. We have people taking existing stories, and telling them in new contexts, to make them relevant, to make them 'current', to make them speak to a new audience. This is not new. The form is legitimised in academia, and it is legitimised within fan cultures. Industry may not always be in favour of it, but that doesn't delegitimise it.
"This will make fan fiction illegal" – no. It will not change the legal space of fan fiction. The current legal status of fan fiction rests on the Fair Use statute (in the US – obviously, different national contexts have different copyright exemptions). The relevant parts of the Fair Use statute revolve around how much of the source material is drawn on, how 'transformative' it is, and crucially, how it will impact economically on the *original* text. Now, I don't think many people are reading Dr Who slash as a substitute for watching it on TV. But, either way, the legal status doesn't change with this.
"Fan fiction authors will lose the rights to their stories" – yes, but only in the way that every author with a publishing deal loses the rights to their stories. When you sign a publishing deal, unless you are a pretty powerful author, you are going to lose a lot of rights. You're not going to get a lot of say over things like cover design, possibly no say over translations of your work for different markets. I'm not hugely well read on publishing contracts, but I'm not certain how much say you would get on your material being licenced for other mediums, such as movie or TV adaptations. Publishing contracts are pretty restrictive for newcomers. Sure, if you're awesome like Cory Doctorow, or you find an awesome publisher who wants you, you might get more say in the distribution of your work. But odds are, if you're new to the publishing scene, you're getting told to sign a crappy contract, and be happy with it. This Kindle Worlds contract does not seem dramatically different.
"This will kill off real fan fiction/fanfiction.net/AO3" – can't see it happening. This argument comes in two forms, the "legal", and the "spiritual". Legally, I don't see why this makes FF.net or AO3 any more likely to be shut down (see the point above). It may, possibly, bring a little more scrutiny to the transformative nature of the work. But, coming to the "spiritual" argument, I think that those spaces will be fulfilling a very different goal than Kindle Worlds. Kindle Worlds is not going to be allowing cross-media stories, not going to be allowing stories which involve sex, and it will be interesting to see how they handle slash fic in general, with my guess being that they'll reject a lot. And there will be plenty of people who don't see KW as a space with which they wish to be involved.
"It will kill off jobs for media tie-in authors" – this was one of the concerns raised by John Scalzi in his blog post about this. Firstly, I just can't see this happening. Most media tie-in pieces, by virtue of being 'authorised', become canonical (not all, sure, there are exceptions). They hold a different place in the storyverse to fic, whether it's paid fic or not. And secondly, if that turns out to be true, I can't say that I'm all that upset about it. That may sound horrible, but the way of the world is that certain jobs disappear, and new ones appear. I'm not crying a little tear every time I send an email because I'm putting the postman out of business. I simply don't buy an argument about lost jobs if the model around their job means that it isn't needed any more. But, to reiterate, I don't see that happening.
"The producers can steal my stories and make money off them" – Yes, but. Yes, this contract means that the source text author has the right to take your plots and characters, and build them back into the source text with no additional compensation. But, and I realise this is a tricky point, there is very little that you could do to stop them doing this currently. It would be very very difficult to prove that a producer has stolen an idea or a character from a piece of fic. Given that fic authors are unlikely to be registered with a Writers Guild, I'm not even certain what protection they would have. So, yes, they can. But I'm pretty sure they could now, with fic authors having very little protection.
When it comes down to it, there are 4 parties involved here: Amazon, media creators/authors, fic authors, and fans/audiences/readers. So let's look at how this will affect each of these.
Amazon – well, Amazon are pretty damn happy here. It's win/win/win for them. They get to offer more content, to a possible new audience. They get to make their cut. They probably have very little in the way of overheads, although they may have to provide some work to ensure that the material meets the quality standards they've put in place.
Media creators/authors – mostly win here. They get to receive some money for something which is happening anyway. However, there is one important factor which has been mostly overlooked here. It is unclear whether Alloy Entertainment has sought permission from the likes of Sara Shepard, before making Pretty Little Liars one of the offerings, and whether they had any obligation to. Some authors will love this as an idea, and others will not. However, should this become successful, it is unclear how much say authors will have in whether their work is included in the 'authorised' list, or whether that decision will be entirely up to their distributor/publisher. While I'm completely fine with people writing fan fic about any text they like, if they're going to profit off it, I think that the original author deserves to have a say.
Fic authors – It's hard to tell what the ramifications are for fic authors. On one level, there is no compulsion to be involved, so it's completely up to them whether or not they sign up for the service. On another, it provides the possible (albeit remote) outcome of being discovered, becoming recognised for their work, and earning some money from it. On the flip side, this is not a contract that is friendly towards fic authors. They are surrendering the rights to characters they create, should the original author decide they want to incorporate them into the source text. They are surrendering further distribution rights, should Amazon want to make an anthology, or the like. But, these facts are all fairly well signposted in the contract, and have been widely discussed, so I do believe that writers will be fairly well informed going in.
Fans/readers – I really can't decide what this means for audiences. In some ways, it provides readers with a way to compensate/reward authors whose work they appreciate. In another way, it's asking people to pay for something they have previously received for free, which is always going to be a little problematic.
It seems to me that a lot of the ick-factor around this comes from ideals around a discourse of the purity of amateurism. There is a sense that, if you are doing something for no direct economic return, that you are doing it for the love, for the art. And if you start getting paid for it, that you've sold out, that you're working for 'the man', that you've become mercenary in some sense. Now, that's not to say that there won't be people who turn their hand to writing fic because they think they can make a quick buck. I'm sure there will be. And I'm pretty sure they will be sorely disappointed. But, I also think it's a mistake to immediately leap to the idea that it's somehow more noble to not get paid for something than to get paid for it.
So, what do I think is going to happen? Please note, this is *entirely* speculative.
I think a whole lot of people will sign up, and will upload a whole bunch of fic. I think that some people will pay a little money for it. I think that you will find a couple of stories, or a couple of authors, who find a market. This market may well not be people who have ever read fic before. Remember, one thing that Amazon does very very very well is its recommendation engine. Everyone who has bought Gossip Girl, PLL or Vampire Diaries content through Amazon is going to be getting this material recommended to them. So, it will open up new markets for fic, or at least attempt to convert existing markets.
I can see this material eventually being given a different term, something which distinguishes this from the fic which is available on FF.net or AO3. I can see the two existing side by side. I can see the number of contributions falling off dramatically, as fic authors realise that they aren't going to be able to give up their day job on the basis of this. I can possibly see one author becoming very well known off the basis of a piece of fic here, and possibly being picked up by one of the series to join the writing staff. But, I really don't see this changing the eco-system all that very much, at all. And I wouldn't be surprised if, in 2 years time, Amazon puts out a press release announcing that Kindle Worlds will not be accepting any more submissions, and it slowly fading away. Fic will still exist, authors will still exist, fans will still exist, and everyone will carry on their merry way.
Of course, I could be very wrong.

What's it like
A very surfable big hole under a bridge. In low water retentives are guaranteed, in big water it gets quite dangerous. Not recommended for absolute beginners.
The following part of about 1 km offers some great WW with big waves and holes, too. Try also the ride from Gmuend to Spittal. There are several great spots along the river (III-IV). Don't forget to get out of the river at a small house, because shortly after it there are 3 unrunnable drops!
Size at low water level: 1.3 meters; at high level: 2 meters (also done at 3 meters).
Best time: May-June and after rainfall.
How to get there
Leave the Tauernautobahn (Salzburg-Villach) at Knoten Spittal/Millstaedtersee and follow the directions to Spittal. Soon you'll cross the Lieser. The hole is right under the bridge.

Rating: NNN
Human Lanterns (Shaw Bros., 1982) D: Sun Chung, w/ Tony Liu, Lo Lieh. Rating: NNN; DVD package: NNN
That three-n rating is strictly for fans of vintage Shaw Brothers lunacy. It's all here except the bad dubbing. This is a handsome, newly struck print with good subtitles and no English track. Otherwise, we've got broad acting, bad wigs, sword fu, wire fu, mystic fu and hopelessly fake kung fu. This being a horror movie, we've also got bizarre lens work, gaudy lighting out of Mario Bava and a score ripped (possibly literally) from Hammer Films.
Somewhere in old China, two rich guys, Lung and Tan, loathe each other. They're both hung up on the same high-end hooker, and each is determined to crush the other in the upcoming lantern contest. Lung hires the town's best but grudge-crazed lantern-maker, and there's an assassin lurking in the dark. Meanwhile, some nutbar in a mask is dragging women to his secret underground lair and skinning them to make lanterns. A Grand Guignol finale ensues.
Somewhere in all this is an actor named Shaw Yin Yin who had a career because she'd take off her clothes and who lost it because someone called her a Communist agent. It's a strange story, and she tells it well in the extras.
EXTRAS Shaw Yin Yin interview, skin-peeling alternate take, more. Widescreen. Mandarin audio. English, Spanish subtitles.

Who knew he had a sexy drawl and looks pretty flashy in red! Listen to the audio interview recorded on October 3, with Ben Kieffer of The Exchange on Iowa Public Radio. Gary also did a reading at Prairie Lights Bookstore in Iowa City.
Seven Wheelchairs, his memoir, currently ranks at 77,822 on Amazon.
Way to go Gary!
Here's a copy of the review I posted at Amazon:
"I've been fortunate to read bits and pieces, essays and writings of the author's for several years as a fellow member of the Internet Writing Workshop, including much of what is his memoir. But it wasn't until I sat down to read the finished product that I realized what an emotional and insightful read it would be. It is a given that this is stellar prose. The writing alone is enough reason to buy the book and read -- and reread it.
But the truth and power of those words. He answers the questions I never thought to ask beginning with the memory of those last steps before polio took away his legs. He told of being confined in an iron lung, not with pity or melodrama, but through the eyes of a devastated, angry teen age boy who was confused and frightened. A boy who had gone from working on his lay up shots to a non-entity swallowed up by a machine. And we move forward with him. We see him making an independent living, but more than that we see him coming to terms with his physical limitations, learning the landscape, what it means to live with disabilities in plain sight, in mainstream culture. We see him moving beyond the anger to find something we all wish we could find -- his true niche where he belongs and can accept and be accepted for the man he is, not for the equipment he must use.
Since this is written in connected essays, much of the problem that arises in first memoir and fiction is left behind. No awkward transitions, no tap dancing to get from one important moment to the next. It is a tightly written, powerful book that takes readers inside of the world of disabilities as none before. And inside of the life of one very human, but determined man.
I met Gary Presley when I joined the Internet Writing Workshop. His writings, his self-deprecating sense of humor, his truth, and his generous supportive ways drew me to him. When my husband became disabled, Gary jumped right in and helped us find our way through that alien culture called 'disability.' Who knew better this new landscape than a man who had been wheeling through it for nearly a half-century!?
He's never maudlin nor melodramatic. It is a book that can be read in pieces or as a whole and the writing itself stands strong alongside the best. A must read for anyone who knows someone living a life fraught with disabilities. A must read for anyone who has ever seen a person in a wheelchair and looked away."
The photo was taken by Ruth Douillette's husband.

Luosifen Lunacy
It seems that this weekend has been designated to be Luosifen promotion weekend. Promotional activities were held on the walkway over 广场路 Guangchang Lu outside the Bubugao building and in front of the nearby Lianhua Century Mart. Maybe other parts of the city, too. I don't get everywhere.
Strangely, the Bubugao Hypermarket in the basement took no part in the promotion but there were independent stalls lining both sides of the bridge.
Lianhua also had a stage (fortunately, I missed their show)
But what were they selling? These recently introduced pack of Instant Liuzhou Luosifen – Pot Noodles. Who in their right mind buys this shit?
I can understand maybe getting some to send to deprived locals, or even foreigners who have been to Liuzhou. I have Chinese friends in the USA and in the UK, who have been glad of some while very much aware that they are but a shadow of a shadow of an illusion of the real thing.
But if the locals are buying them to consume themselves, then they are in serious need of medical attention.
A single portion (above) costs ¥9.90 – around double the cost of a bowl of infinitely better fresh luosifen available round every corner of the city. You can save a negative tad by buying the larger boxes which contain 8 single portions for ¥79.50, which works out at ¥9.94 each!!! Looks like they haven't worked out bulk buying.

For one or two semester courses in the History of Photography. Mary Warner Marien has constructed a richer and more kaleidoscopic account of the history of photography than has previously been available. Her comprehensive survey shows compellingly how photography has sharpened, if not altered forever, our perception of the world. The book was written to introduce students to photography. It does not require that students possess any technical know-how and can be taught without referring to techniques in photography. Incorporating the latest research and international uses of photography, the text surveys the history of photography in such a way that students can gauge the medium's long-term multifold developments and see the historical and intellectual contexts in which photographers lived and worked. It also provides a unique focus on contemporary photo-based work and electronic media.

The backstage room at Oxford Art Factory always leaves something to be desired, it's certainly characterful and I've broken into it many times to steal words from the likes of Lydia Lunch and Alex Cameron. Yet speaking to Angus Andrew, the only original member of Australian-American rock band Liars (Mark E. Smith with manners), the room seems too small for the history and reputation of the group. Founded in 2000 with eight records under their belt, the sticky floored room does little to mirror the significance of the band, reflecting only the intimacy and immediacy one can share in conversation with Andrew. Engaging, enthusiastic and erudite, we back and forth about being married to the band and how landscape affects his art.
"Being in a band becomes very familial, I had a creative relationship that was completely intertwined. Everything is together."
Upon noticing my British accent, Andrew comments that I'm not from around here and we begin to talk touring, specifically in the UK. He asks his new drummer, Laurence Pike, "How are English shows compared to the rest of the world?" to which Pike's replies "Mildly forgettable." "It's a tough place to tour, it's one of the hardest for me," Andrew continues to explain, declaring the food and the cold don't help England's case. Stoke on Trent is very low down on the list of favourite places to play; "I had an opener there, who were a local band, and all the family and friends came to see these kids play, and the crowd was so into it that the opening band played their entire set again." The second set by this band was so powerful Andrew recalls rowdy family members tearing the bathrooms apart. After profusely apologising on behalf of the English we move onto Andrew's current image; the wedding dress.
"Its a confusing era," Andrew muses when I ask if he feels the pressure of the current sexual politics. "Since I started wearing a dress, I didn't think of it as a huge statement. I didn't think, stupidly, every interview I did would mention this. I'm shocked by the fact that in this day an age a man wearing a dress is such a talking point." I reference Kurt Cobain wearing a dress in the 90s, and ask Andrew if he feels times have changed. "It's so complicated now, probably even more so than when Cobain did it. Now I'm appropriating or speaking from a position that I'm not allowed to 'cos I'm utilising some feminine elements that I don't have a right to as a man, and that kind of thing." The discussion around Andrews' dress causes him to reflect on how his former lyrics could be construed now, using the example of It Fit's 'Dancing my way across your lawn'. "It's very stalker-y, and I'm going to come get you, and I wonder how people can frame that now?"
An acutely self-aware artist, Andrew tells me how at his most recent show in Melbourne a woman spent the whole gig trying to lift up his skirt. "Is it possible to think that if the gender roles were reversed in that scenario, could it have happened?" The female fan also got on stage at which point "we all got off stage". The band agree that it's very easy to get excited by the music, but "it's interesting to consider if things were [sexually] different, and maybe that's for a reason?" I joke that he should not be responsible for the thousands of years of Patriarchal oppression that one fan has sought revenge for on his wedding dress. The wedding dress, for Andrew, is less about sexual politics, more about commitment.
"The standard thing that I was thinking was that I, up until that point, had been pretty much married to my band mates. Being in a band becomes very familial, I had a creative relationship that was completely intertwined. Everything is together. So when that ended, I reflected and that image came to me, I also wanted to take control of that image in a more empowering way. And I think it's a strong image." As Liars toured in Europe, and Australia fought the 'Vote Yes' for marriage equality campaign, Andrew comments on how archaic it was to be asked about wearing a dress. "Are we back in the 50s? I was just shocked that it was even a consideration, and that late in the game too. Super conservative."
Conservative in places maybe, but not devoid of inspiration, Australia has its place in Andrew's creative world. We speak about music that influenced the band's latest record, Titles With the word Fountain, "A lot of Australian music, that's my focus, you name it I've heard it." The rest of the band confirm that he studies hard for the playlists that he makes.
"What's exciting to me about music [in Australia] is that there is a lot to find, there are not enough channels to get it out into the world."
Andrew feels that there must be something to Australian artists and their idiosyncrasies; a respect for music as a real trade or skill, which was so intimidating that he did not pick up an instrument until he left Australia. "What's exciting to me about music [in Australia] is that there is a lot to find, there are not enough channels to get it out into the world." But it's not just the people, rather the landscape which influences the creation of art. "When I was in L.A. I was interested in very sharp production and stuff made to a grid so it's all super in time, so that was Mess. And then when moved here to the bush, where I live, I just listened to the rhythms of the environment where, the wind and the water, and things come in and out of time in this beautiful organic way. Speaking sonically, I just wanted everything not to be as clean, things falling apart. Out of tune and out of time." Influenced by the undulation of cicadas, "there is wave. Where I live, people get pissed and wear earphones because it's so loud." Probably not as loud as watching Liars perform live, who command the stage with a prowess that only a seasoned band can, and the honest delivery of a reflective and present writer. Liars give us a true picture of an artist influenced by his not just his social environment, but his natural environment as well.

Airline licences lapse as carriers avoid taking to skies in slowdown3 min read . Updated: 31 May 2009, 10:52 PM IST
Airline licences lapse as carriers avoid taking to skies in slowdown
Airline licences lapse as carriers avoid taking to skies in slowdown
Several start-up carriers that were given licences have not been able to begin operations, leading to the expiry or revocation of such permissions. This has put a question mark over whether they will eventually be able to take to the skies.
Of the some 10 licences given out by the civil aviation ministry over the past three years to cargo and regional carriers, just three have been able to operate, and that too a limited number of flights, according to the ministry.
The failure by the others to even start operations comes at a time of falling air passenger and cargo traffic in the country, seized by an economic slowdown. Analysts estimate national carriers made losses of around $2 billion (around Rs9,500 crore) in the fiscal year gone by.
The country's airlines are largely divided into three categories: national carriers such as National Aviation Co. of India Ltd-run Air India and Kingfisher Airlines Ltd; cargo carriers such as Blue Dart Aviation Ltd; and the likes of Club One Air that are charter aviation operators.
In 2007, the ministry of civil aviation, buoyed by air passenger growth rates of 40%, introduced a new category for airlines to increase regional connectivity by offering licences for each of the country's four different regions.
But almost two years after the announcement, of the several companies that were granted permissions to set up infrastructure to start regional operations, only MDLR Airlines Pvt. Ltd and Jagson Airlines Ltd—both of which already were running charter operations before the regional airlines policy—have flights in operation.
Given the delay, several of the carriers are now seeing their licences being revoked. Aviation rules mandate that if a carrier has not been able to start operations within 18 months of the grant of licence, the permission stands cancelled.
Deccan Chronicle Holdings Ltd-promoted Flyington Freighters Pvt. Ltd, which had placed an order for 12 Airbus SAS-made A330-200F long-haul aircraft valued at $175 million each in 2007, was the first one to decide not to go ahead with a launch and has seen its licence lapse at end-February.
Now, the airline will need to submit a fresh proposal to seek a scheduled cargo airline licence under the rules. "Within validity period, they can seek an extension citing reasons for the delay," said a senior government official, who didn't want to be identified.
Deepak Parasuraman, managing director, Flyington Freighters, denied that the aircraft orders have been cancelled and said the firm plans to get its licence back. "All our Airbus orders are in place and we will be starting the cargo airline," he said, but did not reveal by when the airline plans to import the aircraft.
An Airbus spokesperson in an emailed reply said "there are no changes in (aircraft) delivery slots after first half of 2010".
Others, such as Quikjet Cargo Airlines Pvt. Ltd, part-owned by Infrastructure Leasing and Financial Services Ltd, Infrastructure Development Finance Co. Ltd and Tata Capital Ltd, has at least one aircraft grounded for many months now but no operations in place. Instead, the firm has sought an extension of six months until December to avoid the licence being cancelled.
Another start-up regional carrier, Star Aviation Pvt. Ltd, which was expected to start operations by now as reported by Mint earlier, too, has sought an extension of its licence until end-December. Jagson Airlines has moved its operations from a scheduled regional airline licence to a non-scheduled airline licence after its regulatory permit was not approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
Licences for start-up Avicore Aviation Pvt. Ltd and ZAV Airways Pvt. Ltd are likely to lapse by August, and Aryan Cargo Express Pvt. Ltd by October.
"It's lean season; economy is down, industry is down. In such a case, it is better to wait for positive signs of recovery and then launch," Aryan Cargo's managing director Mukut Pathak said, but added he is hopeful of launching operations soon.
The G.R. Gopinath-owned Deccan Cargo and Express Logistics Pvt. Ltd, which operates under the brand Deccan 360, is the only cargo carrier to have taken to the skies this year despite low cargo traffic both in the domestic and international market.
Pathak said he still would wait before launching operations. "We wish him all the best," he said of Gopinath's launch of the Deccan service in May. "We will learn from his mistakes."

Economists are buzzing today because the interest rate curve became inverted. For anyone who watches real estate, this little bit of economic arcania is worth learning about.
What is it? When you plot interest rates on various bonds and notes on a graph, the shorter term interest rates are usually lower than long term rates. That's because you have a better idea of what will happen to the economy in the near future than 30 years out. But today, the long-term rate dipped lower than shorter-term rates, hence the inverted rate curve.
Why do we care? Some economists think it signals a coming recession. Others, notably Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, claim it is no longer a reliable indicator.
What does it mean to my mortgage? It could mean that the interest rate on that interest-only adjustable mortgage drops. Interest rates in general could go lower as the Fed loosens up liquidity to keep the economy going. But it could also mean that you'll be out of a job and unable to pay your mortgage at any rate if the country goes into a deep recession.
There will be a lot written on this today. Here are a few links:

Subtle Energy Healing
Subtle energy has been seen and felt by healers and energy sensitive people for thousands of years. It has many descriptions - from the scientific, electromagnetic wavelengths; to the esoteric, rates of vibration, patterns of pulsation and energy vortexes. All of these describe the vital universal life force within us, the subtle energy that drives the body's functions - the very essence of life itself.
The body is much more than a collection of functioning parts, each part, no matter how minute, generates its own energy field which continually changes. If the "life force" is low or blocked then sickness or disease is more likely, but if it high and free flowing, then the bodies are healthy and well balanced.
Reiki is a specific type of subtle energy healing. Reiki provides the means to balance the aura - human energy field and chakras - energy centres to create harmonious conditions allowing the universal life force to flow where it is needed to bring the energy centres into alignment.
Reiki is truly a complementary therapy and is compatible with medical treatments and other therapies and is often used in conjunction with crystal therapy and aromatherapy.
Reiki is excellent for healing any physical, mental, emotional or spiritual issues as it works on all levels of a person. The Reiki healer is purely a conduit as the Reiki energy will direct itself to where it is most needed at the time of treatment. Everyone's experience is unique to them, some of the effects that may be experienced are:
- Physical – relief from aches and pains, insomnia, have more energy, deep relaxation to release tension
- Mental – stress relief, have more clarity of thought, more focus, calmness
- Emotional – a sense of well-being, of balance, helps release negative emotions and blockages
- Spiritual – a sense of purpose, connectedness, a 'lightness' of being, raises the vibrational frequency and aids spiritual growth
Long distance healing is an alternative, should the client be unable to travel to a healing session.
Subtle Energy Animal Healing
Reiki healing is now being applied to animals for disease treatment and general wellness. Many veterinarians use Reiki as a support in addition to conventional medicine.
Reiki healing for animals, as with humans, works on the chakras and is a gentle physical contact with the animal. Reiki is recommended for treating pain, anxiety and behavioural problems. The therapy can be calming and may help an agitated animal become a more acceptable pet. Reiki can also be used in conjunction with crystal therapy
As in the case of Reiki for humans, long distance healing is an alternative, should the animal be unable to travel to a healing session.
