Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
A book about the history of the shipping container? At first, one has to wonder why. (An eventuality not lost on the author, who muses "What is it about the container that is so important? Surely not the thing itself...the standard container has all the romance of a tin can.") The catch, though, is that Levinson, an economist, "treats containerization not as shipping news, but as a development that has sweeping consequences for workers and consumers all around the globe." That latter statement drives this book, which is about the economic ramifications of the shipping container-from the closing of traditional (and antiquated) ports to the rise of Asia as the world's preeminent provider of inexpensive consumer goods (distributed, naturally, using mammoth shipping containers). Levinson maintains his focus on the economics of shipping vast quantities of merchandise, organizing the book into snappy, thematic chapters on different facets of shipping ("The Trucker," and "Union Disunion," for instance), an approach that lends itself well to spot-reading. Throughout, the writing is clean-more informal than rigidly academic (union boss Teddy Gleason is "a voluble Irishman born hard by the New York docks")-making the book suitable for casual readers as well as students looking for a different take on the evolution of 20th-century world economics.

Levinson's well-researched treatment of a seemingly pedestrian subject works effectively to show that the world is not flat. The original dust cover of Friedman's best-selling book shows a tall-masted ship going over the edge of the 'flat' earth, confirming flat earth society members' discarded beliefs but distorting and mischaracterizing globalization. Levinson's rich, detailed, data-filled work shows the stark difference between Levinson's work with The Economist and Friedman's with The New York Times. Levinson uses a thorough, comprehensive economic and technological analysis, while Friedman flies around the world with a consistent "gee whiz" attitude of surprise. Levinson traces multitudes of disparate events and finds common links where Friedman finds common links and illustrates them with cursory events. Levinson is an economist; Friedman is a journalist. Friedman mixes metaphors and hyperbole; Levinson mixes in a wide range of colorful characters and challenges. Levinson is an editor; Friedman needs one. People who want to understand the recent history, impetus and infrastructure of globalization need to read "The box."
Fifty years ago, maverick southern trucker Malcolm McLean devised a method for a quantum leap forward in the handling of cargo in transit. At that time, the process of loading and offloading of ships had not changed much in hundreds of years. Loose cargo, irregular, unpredictable and back-breaking work, light-fingered workers, corrupt stevedores, poor management, and mob-controlled unions were the order of the day and most orders changed on a daily basis. The workers probably suffered the most, but the hidden impact on global trade was severe as well. Some small and expensive products -- whiskey, watches -- could not be shipped reliably and safely when subject to massive pilferage. While containers started as a domestic solution, their global use worked miracles in reducing the costs of getting products thousands of miles, and not just on what came to be huge, fast new ocean sailing ships. Railroads and truckers participated in this transformation. Markets opened up. Ports like Felixstowe (England) and Singapore emerged rapidly, displacing older, intransigent ports. Military shipping in containers from America's west coast for the Vietnam War made return trips with stop offs in Japan a cheap, added source of shipping revenue. Cheap-to-ship Japanese products flooded America. Ports sprung up where investors and governments were willing to build cranes, re-build docks and dredge canals. Corrupt, inefficient labor could be bypassed and eliminated, no matter how powerful the union or onerous the contracts. Free trade multiplied.
Sometimes global revolutionary change is not sexy. It's not even computer-driven. Maybe the computer chip spurred globalization, but it was the container ship that made it possible. The idea is to make trade fast, reliable and inexpensive, not just to make the world flat. Containers are like computer chips; they hold lots of stuff in a well-organized fashion. Without the containers, the global transportation network would be running much slower and more costly than it does today. Levinson catalogs a history of shadowy billionaires, entrepreneurs, and a few enlightened governments (the demise of London and New York City ports under much less enlightened leaders is especially painful) that produced a true global revolution. This book is a greater tale of globalization.
I only wish Levinson had included some photographs and more drawings. Some of the technical and industry-specific language can be dry and hard to visualize through verbal descriptions alone.
Enter the shipping container, 1956.
But wait: the container requires different infrastructure. The story of the shipping container is also the story of ports where governments chose to support the companies investing in the container. In New York City, the story is governed by the decisions of the Port of New York Authority (now the Port Authority of New York), which was looking to expand its bureaucratic territory. The piers on the New York side had all the business they could want and politicians to defend that turf. The only reason they remained viable was the fact that the ICC required railroads to charge the same for freight delivered on either side of the port, in effect a requirement to throw in the trans-Hudson part of the journey for free. That was not trivial, since it involved either removing freight from trains and loading it on barges, crossing, and then re-loading into warehouses to wait for a ship.
Much of the history revolves around boy genius Malcom (not Malcolm, he dropped the second l to differentiate from his father) McLean, who started in the trucking business. Shipping something from a factory via truck to a railroad and then (via truck again) to a port, loading it on a ship, and reversing the process at the far end cost plenty. It cost time in transit, storage, and management; it cost labor at each change of mode; it was extremely expensive because of pilferage and breakage because of the frequent handling and the subsequent insurance; and of course the shipping cost money. Malcom realized the problem and the potential money to be made from rationalizing the shipping process.
The first container ships required their own cranes because standard dock cranes were not capable of lifting the containers, much less taking advantage of their standardization and the potential savings in ship loading times. Thereafter, however, the cranes became part of the port infrastructure, along with rail sidings, truck terminals, deeper and wider ports, and computer controls. The industry, in other words, became more capital intensive, and some of that capital came from state and local governments. Those who made the commitment, such as the Port Authority in New Jersey and Port Elizabeth, became the winners, while those who didn't, such as New York City, did not.
The government did not only take sides in the wars between technologies and shipping companies. As it became clear that automation was going to cost not only cushy jobs, but real ones too, the various unions found themselves at odds not only with shippers, but with governments as well. The City of Los Angeles chose sides when longshoreman at first refused to unload Matson's shipping container ships; the city threatened to take over the port and make their jobs civil service, prevented by law from striking. The Federal government stepped in repeatedly on the side of shippers against the East Coast union strikes. Eventually, the Longshoreman's unions on both coasts struck deals with shippers, trading generous contributions to retirement and unemployment funds in return for acceptance of the technology and more productive work rules. I'm not sure which side I come down on in that dispute: yes, there were aspects of the trade that sound cushy, such as rules that allowed each of the two teams working a ship to take a half day off with pay, and the day laborer aspect meant that senior union members could work or take the day off as they desired. On the other hand, the corrupt day labor culture enabled organized crime and allowed rampant pilferage to persist, not to mention the fact that jobs were described as incredibly dangerous and literally back breaking. In the old paradigm, workers had to live in slums near the docks to make themselves available; today, the crane operators are guaranteed a regular 40-hour-per-week job, and can afford to live anywhere, but have to get permission to take off. In any event, government was neither impartial referee nor friend of labor in these struggles.
So this ends up being a very complex story in which government starts out standing against change in the status quo that had persisted since roughly the 1920s, and then steps in to tip the playing field toward the shipping container. Levinson argues that the shipping container may not have been the only factor, but it certainly was *a* factor in accelerating the globalization of the economy. Before the shipping container, it was extraordinarily expensive to ship anything overseas; today, it may be less expensive to ship goods overseas by rail and ship than across the state by truck. Remove time and distance as factors or advantages, and suddenly labor costs become the more important factor.
Two final factors radically altered the trajectory of shipping. The first was Viet Nam. The Army suddenly found itself in a situation where it needed lots of supplies shipped in to a place with no infrastructure or railroads. McLean was the man on the spot, winning the contract by offering to build all of the necessary port infrastructure. The remarkable increase in efficiency forced the federal government into the pro-container camp, but also had an unexpected effect. With the Army picking up the ship's entire journey, westbound and eastbound, but only shipping freight west, this left Malcom with a *pure* profit opportunity: ships returning from Asia in the late 1960s with no cargo. A stop in Japan for loads of televisions and automobiles solved that "problem". Incidentally, by rationalizing shipping by making it predictable and fast, the container contributed to the development of the inventory-free manufacturing method of Just In Time.
The other final factor was the phasing out of the WWII surplus ships and the phasing in of dedicated container ships in the middle of the first oil embargo era. The shipping industry thus completed the transition from labor-intensive to capital-intensive. The enormous ships, some of which no longer fit in the Panama Canal, have to keep moving just to keep paying for their own financing. The cost of shipping plummeted, and the size of ships continues to expand. The Molucca Straits have overtaken the Panama Canal as the limiting factor on size.
Because of the plummet in shipping costs, the resulting increase in dependence on shipping, the pressures of the oil embargoes, and the changes in finance and capital requirements, the shipping industries were "deregulated" in the late 1970s. That deregulation was, of course, not complete. Levinson notes some exceptions, and I found that some of the rules were still in effect when I tried to ship something to Hawai'i a few years back.
Marc Levinson cites W. W. Rostow's "Stages of Development" argument early in the book regarding the importance of the railroad to American and English development, noting that the container is a modern equivalent in global development. Rostow in fact made two claims: one, that the railroad was essential, and two, that government investments were also crucial. Levinson's history of the shipping container would seem to support Rostow's claim. Many of the Asian Tiger economies - Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore - invested heavily in port infrastructure to bring the shipping container to their shores; they were literal cargo cults. To the extent that it worked, they have reaped the benefits.
But Levinson provides some counterexamples. England adapted to the shipping container very poorly, and to the extent that they did, it was because of a private port at Felixstowe; England has arguably done quite well for itself in the past 30 years despite missing both of the Rostovian requirements. Further, much of the investment in American ports was private, though government has also played a role. Finally, the Rostow argument only makes sense when you accept that people are unequivocally better off when they adopt capital intensity. Yes, the increase in measurable wealth is notable, but I am curious about the intangibles and the change in quality of life, pace, direct control of one's life that result from acceptance of the modern.
This book hits somewhere in between detailed Fogelian economic history and story-telling, so I gave it 4 rather than 5 stars. It is certainly more accessible than a dry investigation of the numbers, but does manage to highlight many aspects of the technical, cultural, social, economic, and political issues at the nexus of which was The Box.
It turned the world upside down. It probably had as much to do with the success of Waikiki as the jet airliner, introduced in 1960.
The story has a hero, Malcom McLean, and it plays out, for him and for many others, as tragedy.
In "The Box," Marc Levinson makes business history read like a novel. Well, almost.
Like many simple, everyday things, the shipping container is more complicated than it looks. Just how do you design a steel box that can hold 20 tons but also has to be picked up without being touched by human hands and moved from ship to truck in less than a minute?
McLean, a North Carolina boy who founded a trucking empire in the days of heavy regulation in order to save $3, took the plunger's approach. In the Pacific, Matson Navigation Co. was also interested in converting from expensive breakbulk cargo handling, but it took the systems approach.
McLean beat Matson by two years, but Matson is still around (as the principal subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin Inc.), while McLean's SeaLand survives today only as a subsidiary (a very large one) of a Danish business that didn't exist until 1973.
McLean did not imagine he was going to restructure the world economy, but his idea did that, which is why this book deserves a wider audience than business histories usually get.
The container killed off New York and London as important shipping ports. New York City now handles only a little more cargo each year than Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia, which did not exist in 1990. Most of Britain's international trade now moves through Felixstowe.
Since most of the cost of moving a container comes while it's passing through a port, shipping costs are not materially affected no matter how long the at-sea leg is made. Hence, globalization.
The cheap labor of China was always there, it just wasn't accessible before McLean.
Although "The Box" barely refers to Hawaii, it is an obvious conclusion that a resort like Waikiki, which imports nearly everything except aloha, could not have offered cheap vacations to middle class American families if ocean transportation costs had remained as high as they were in the '50s.
Besides different business approaches on the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, the two oceans featured vastly different reactions by unions to the problem of adopting dock labor to containers.
In the Atlantic, the International Longshoreman's Association was antagonistic. The approach was suicidal, for its members and for their communities.
In the Pacific, commie bogeyman Harry Bridges forced conciliation on his reluctant membership, saving the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union and opening the gates to a boom in Southern California.
Bridges, long dead, remains a name that American rightwingers use to scare the children into good behavior. If Republicans understood economics, they'd have built a statue to him in every port (except San Francisco, which did not benefit from containers because of its awkward railroad connections) in western America and Canada.
Levinson, a one-time journalist, knows how to write a book that can be read with pleasure. And profit.
=== The Good Stuff ===
* Marc Levinson takes a stab at a rather complex topic, and in some areas does quite well. The introduction of containerized shipping is also the death knell for powerful longshoremen's unions; the need for huge capital investments in port facilities, something that was always an afterthought; and the need to change the way just about every company does business.
* The author also does a reasonable job of describing the changes brought upon the world by the growth of the shipping container. Freight rates fell, which changed the way business was done in the world. But there were also changes in waterfront neighborhoods, creations of entirely new cities, and the decay and decline of what had always been major seaports.
* Malcolm Mclean, the founder of SeaLand, is profiled in this book, and he comes across as a interesting, if somewhat unfamiliar character. I definitely got a feel for his risk-taking, betting his company numerous times on what were little more than hunches about how shipping should work. There is also brief profiles of a few labor leaders, and their futile struggles to delay the loss of jobs to automated material handling in ports.
=== The Not-So-Good Stuff ===
* While Mclean is profiled, I never really got a feel for the man. He stays aloof throughout the book, although his accomplishments and strategies are discussed numerous times.
* The book repeats itself quite a bit. As an example, the text must have stated 25 times that there are few useable records of shipping costs prior to 1980. OK, I got the point. And while on the subject, surely there are ways of estimating these.
* I am a bit of a geek, and was hoping for more insight on how the system really works. Who tracks all the containers? Who owns them, and how are they paid. How exactly does the process work by which a container is picked up by a truck at a factory, shipped by rail, loaded on a ship, shipped again by rail, and finally delivered by truck. Who manages the whole flow? How are the containers tracked? Is this what logistics companies do? Does it cost extra for your container to be safely in the hold rather than deck cargo? None of these types of topics were even hinted at, a major disappointment for me.
=== Summary ===
The book was OK, but came up short in my opinion. There was so much more I would have liked to know about how containerized shipping really works, none of which was included. The book is more a history of how port facilities were planned and developed to support containers, with some analysis of the global effects of this technology. If you are interested in how shipping and globalization influence each other, this is not a bad book. If you are mostly interested in how containers actually travel, you will be disappointed.
As director of strategy and corporate development for a leading Silicon Valley software company, I also happen to be interested in disruptive technologies and business concepts, innovations that totally remake or create industries, the type of stuff that Harvard Business School's Clayton Christensen often writes about. Thus, Marc Levinson's "The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger," was the perfect book for me and, as it turned out, one of the most enjoyable, enlightening reads I've had all year.
In short, Levinson argues that containerization, which was introduced by the transportation pioneer Malcolm McLean in the early 1950s, did more than lower the cost of shipping. It fundamentally changed the world economy. And it did so in several ways.
First, it redefined the meaning of a port city. In the era of break bulk shipping, all-purpose cargo ships that are manually (and slowly and expensively) loaded and unloaded by longshoremen, it made sense to have manufacturing close to the docks to save on transportation costs. Once the container began to dominate shipping, the only purpose of a port was to load and unload containers as rapidly as possible using labor saving cranes. Associated industries like light manufacturing, insurance, freight forwarding and other services, once co-located with the docks, were no longer relevant to the waterfront. Such a change spelled the end of shipping as a major operation in numerous traditional port cities, from Baltimore and San Francisco to Liverpool and London. In the busiest port in the US, New York City, the massive new container facility operation across the harbor at Newark and Elizabeth wiped out the long established docks of Brooklyn and Manhattan with a suddenness that shocked politicians, labor bosses and shippers, alike.
'The primary reason for this change is that the container turned shipping into a capital intensive industry that thrived on economies of scale, making the once sleepy shipping industry look a lot like the hyper competitive US railroads of the 1850s. In the break bulk era, dockside labor accounted for the major part of operational costs and the expense of overland transportation made numerous port city venues necessary. The economics of the container ship, requiring regular debt payments to finance their construction and only earning revenue while underway, dictated that fewer ports were visited and more cargo was loaded at each. Suddenly, small port cities like Mobile and Tampa were simply passed by, devastating the local longshoremen unions and others reliant on the shipping industry. Meanwhile, upstart ports like Oakland, Singapore and Felixstowe in the UK emerged as major container shipping terminals.
Second, it changed the geography of global manufacturing. The efficiencies of container shipping reduced transportation costs so dramatically that they no longer figured significantly influenced end user prices, whereas in the break bulk days the cost of transoceanic shipping acted as a double digit tariff on imported goods. Suddenly, it made economic sense to relocate manufacturing facilities in distant, low labor cost countries and simply ship the goods halfway around the world in container ships.
Third, the economic revolution of the container was slow in coming. The real revolution didn't happen until the shippers (i.e. the makers of TVs, refrigerators, etc.) centralized operations and began to take advantage of container efficiencies, which also really weren't available until deregulation opened up opportunities for big shippers to save with long term contracts and steep bulk shipping discounts. Process innovations like Toyota's "just in time" supply chain, which gained popularity in the early 1980s, saw large corporations invest unprecedented time and energy to improve their logistics operations. Levinson writes that by the time the container dominated transoceanic shipping -- over 80% of all goods traveling by container -- the vast majority of cargo were not finished consumer goods but rather "intermediate goods," parts and supplies used for final manufacturing.
Several additional themes emerge from "The Box." One is that organized labor and government regulation, no matter how well meaning, are often the most powerful inhibiters to business innovation, which comes with an enormous price tag that is ultimately passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices for inferior goods. Next, few people present at the creation ever "get" (and profit from) the full affect of sweeping change that new technologies and processes like intermodal shipping. Unions failed to appreciate its potential impact and suffered dearly because of it. It took governments decades to figure out that they shouldn't be in the port management business and leave the extensive capital outlays to private investors. And most private sector investors were wrong about the speed at which the container would alter the economics of international shipping. RJ Reynolds foray into the business through the acquisition of McLean's Sea Land ended in disappointment for everyone, their shareholders foremost among them. And even McLean himself, the godfather of the container and a man lionized by Levinson, got the container very wrong on several occasions, including the 1980s bankruptcy of his acquired US Lines, which sought to establish a round-the-world container transportation route. Most intriguingly, those that did profit from the revolution, such as Hong Kong-based Evergreen and Denmark-based Maersk Lines, were no early movers or bleeding edge innovators. Indeed, they didn't get into the container shipping business until the 1970s.
As fascinating and compelling as the argument presented in "The Box" may be, it is only a hypothesis. Levinson has almost NO quantitative evidence to defend his claims. There are very few graphs and data tables in this book, although one gets the distinct impression it was not for lack of trying on Levinson's part. "The technical problems involved in measuring shipping rates during the 1960s and 1970s are so great that reliable measures of the container's price impact are unlikely to be developed," he glumly concludes.
I loved this book. You may, too, if you find the basic themes interesting -- innovation, globalization, and market disruption.

Lookback: a new way of exploiting parallelism in discrete event simulation
Discrete event simulation
In discrete-event simulation (DES), the operation of a system is represented as a chronological sequence of events. Each event occurs at an instant in time and marks a change of state in the system . For example, if an elevator is simulated, an event could be "level 6 button pressed", with the resulting system state of "lift moving" and eventually (unless one chooses to simulate the failure of the lift) "lift at level 6".

Parallel computing
Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently ("in parallel"). There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction level, data, and task parallelism.

Lookback option
Lookback options are a type of exotic option with path dependency, among many other kind of options. The payoff depends on the optimal (maximum or minimum) underlying asset's price occurring over the life of the option. The option allows the holder to "look back" over time to determine the payoff. There exist two kinds of lookback options: with floating strike and with fixed strike.

Process (computing)
In computing, a process is an instance of a computer program that is being executed. It contains the program code and its current activity. Depending on the operating system (OS), a process may be made up of multiple threads of execution that execute instructions concurrently. A computer program is a passive collection of instructions; a process is the actual execution of those instructions.
more from Wikipedia
Synchronization is timekeeping which requires the coordination of events to operate a system in unison. The familiar conductor of an orchestra serves to keep the orchestra in time. Systems operating with all their parts in synchrony are said to be synchronous or in sync. Some systems may be only approximately synchronized, or plesiochronous. For some applications relative offsets between events need to be determined, for others only the order of the event is important.

Communications protocol
A communications protocol is a system of digital message formats and rules for exchanging those messages in or between computing systems and in telecommunications. A protocol may have a formal description. Protocols may include signaling, authentication and error detection and correction capabilities. A protocol definition defines the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication; the specified behavior is typically independent of how it is to be implemented.

The Adventurer's HandbookLife Lessons from History's Great Explorers

Chapter One
Getting Started
What makes an explorer?
Explorers come in all shapes and sizes, literally and metaphorically. Henry Morton Stanley was small and stocky, Fridtjof Nansen was tall and thin, Fanny Bullock Workman was round and tubby. The American explorer Robert Peary advised in his book The Secrets of Polar Travel that the ideal Arctic explorer should weigh 2-2 1/2 pounds (0.9-1.125 kilograms) for every inch of height and warned that tall men were a liability -- they ate too much, needed too much clothing, and took up too much space in a tent. He also added that, whenever possible, he had selected blonds for his expeditions, ignoring the fact that on all of his Arctic trips he had been accompanied by an Afro-American manservant Matthew Henson. Obviously Henson wasn't in on the secret.
It is equally hard to pin down the archetypal explorer. Some have been tyrants, others team players; some were solitary, others gregarious. Reading through the biographies of nineteenth- and twentieth-century explorers, it is hard to find many common threads. On the contrary, it is striking just how diverse their backgrounds were. They began their careers asengineers, missionaries, sailors, soldiers, journalists, and beekeepers the list goes on. Quite a lot came from the military for the obvious reason that the armed forces were keen on exploration. More intriguingly, a number of explorers came from troubled family backgrounds and several of them lost their fathers at an early age. Almost all of the polar explorers were men; female explorers seemed to be more interested in Africa and the Middle East.
Many were motivated by the desire for fame. At the age of 17, Edward Whymper, the Victorian mountaineer, confided to his diary that he was hoping to become "the great person of my day"; on the other side of the Atlantic, at the age of 29, a desperate Robert Peary admitted in a letter to his mother that he simply "must have fame." A lot of explorers professed in later life to have felt a sense of destiny, a sense that they were cut out to do important things. Others admitted that they "liked the life"; when the Scottish explorer John McDouall Stuart returned from his attempt to cross Australia, he had become so used to sleeping outdoors that he scorned his bed and took to sleeping in the garden.
Some explorers never hung up their rucksacks; others found that they could use their skills to carve out successful careers in completely different fields. Quite a few former explorers finished life as politicians. Their fame got them a foot in the door but their skills as communicators and organizers turned them into successes. Many of today's mountaineers and explorers have made a lucrative career as motivational speakers, spending more time speaking to businessmen than lecturing at the Royal Geographical Society. It is easy to be cynical about this, but to do so is to miss the point that, essentially, all expeditions are projects that have to be managed. Teams have to be selected, equipped, and motivated. Goals have to be set and crises have to be overcome. The physical risks may be greater and the rewards may be less tangible, but it all comes down to knowing what you want and giving yourself the best chance of getting it.
So what makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-belief, doggedness, curiosity, optimism, authority, hardiness ... but before all these come into play, you have to be good at raising money.
Raising Funds
I shall tell you what you will do. Draw a thousand pounds now; and then when you have gone through that, draw another thousand; and when that is spent, draw another thousand; and when you have finished that, draw another thousand, and so on; but FIND LIVINGSTONE.J. GORDON BENNET'S INSTRUCTIONS
When J. Gordon Bennet, the famous proprietor of the New York Herald, sent Henry Morton Stanley off in search of Dr. Livingstone, money was no object. There are few explorers who have had it so easy. Funding is, and always was, a perpetual problem. Getting over this first hurdle requires ingenuity, perseverance, and luck. It is one of those times where your people skills come to the fore: how do you persuade benefactors to part with large sums of cash to enable you to realize your dream?
Paying Your Own Way
The Duke of Abruzzi paid his own way, and that of a large retinue of supporters, to the Arctic, the Mountains of the Moon, and the slopes of K2. He was the grandson of the King of ltaly and money was rarely an issue. The British explorer Samuel Baker had a large private fortune that he used to fund his expeditions to Africa. He even paid for his own wife, Florence, after bidding for her at a Turkish slave auction. Their personal wealth gave Abruzzi and Baker a lot of freedom, but few twentieth-century explorers were so lucky; at one point or another, most of them had to tap an external source for money.
What Your Country Can Do For You
The Royal Navy funded many of the most glorious episodes in the history of British exploration. Cook, Vancouver, and Flinders are just three of the naval officers whose voyages of discovery helped to re-draw the map of the world. But the navy also funded some of the most inglorious episodes, the polar expeditions of Franklin and Nares being well-known examples. The problem was that naval patronage invariably came with strings attached. Patrons had to be indulged, officers had to be taken on who weren't suitable for the job, equipment had to be used because "that's how they did it" in the navy. On a smaller scale, though, the military is often worth approaching by independent explorers for equipment and sundry favors. Thor Heyerclalil was able to persuade the British and U.S. Military to donate equipment and rations to the Kon-Tiki expedition by offering to road-test them in the mid-Pacific.

How to Get Rid of Hard Water Spots on a Tub. Cómo sustituir la sal en la cocina. Los hipertensos deben reducir al máximo o incluso suprimir por completo la cantidad de sal en la elaboración de sus recetas.
Nuestro paladar está tan acostumbrado a su sabor que, en muchos casos, esta medida hace que no se disfrute igual de la comida. Por ello, aquí os dejo unos sencillos consejos para sustituir la sal por otros condimentos y llenar de sabor vuestros platos: - Cocciones: las algas laminarias en el agua son ideales para dar sabor sin aportar sodio a la patata, el arroz o incluso la pasta. Igualmente, podemos cocer esta última con ajo, laurel y unas gotas de tabasco o una pizca de cayena en polvo. - Verduras: si han sido hervidas previamente, pueden condimentarse con nuez moscada y clavo, menta y estragón o pimienta y mostaza en polvo.
. - Ensaladas: se pueden condimentar con especias (orégano, cilantro, perejil...), con frutas secas (piña, manzana...) o aumentar el uso del vinagre o el limón. - Pescados: sazonar con limón, ajo, eneldo y, en general, cualquier especia.

A simple smiley This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons.
The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. Emoticons can generally be divided into two groups: Western or Horizontal (mainly from America and Europe), and Eastern or Vertical (mainly from east Asia). The most common explanation for these differences is how the different cultures value different parts of the face, i.e. eyes often play a bigger part in figuring out mood in the East while the West puts the eyes as equal to the rest of the face.[1] Western The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees.

Down on the stage, facing perhaps 15,000 fans, NFL and civic celebrities recalled Junior Seau.
Up across Qualcomm Stadium, facing the setting sun, Alex Dayton of Chula Vista was alone but for two strangers who saw him in the highest row of seats, and came to join him.
"My first Chargers game, my dad brought me here when I was this high," Dayton said. "It was up here. That was the first time I saw Seau play."

Fantasy hoops, like many fantasy sports, has a lot more to do with in-season management than preseason preparation. Sure, drafting a star-studded lineup can bring you fantasy glory, but most teams roll to victory through savvy waiver-wire additions well after the draft has ended. Almost every year, there are a few players who rise out of relative obscurity to win over our fantasy hearts. In recent years, the fantasy free-agent market has provided us with top-notch talents such as David West, Al Jefferson and Andris Biedrins. Who will win over our hearts this year? Well, that's where I come in. Each week I'll scour the wire looking for free-agent finds and hidden gems that might be available in your league. The talent on the wire is never as heavy as it is early in the season, as there's almost always a few players who should have been drafted, but weren't for one reason or another. Let's take a look:
Ronnie Brewer, SG, Jazz (18.5 percent owned):
Speaking of guys who should've been drafted, how about the starting shooting guard for the Utah Jazz? After all, Brewer did lead the Jazz in scoring in preseason action. Not only did he average 17.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.4 steals (yes that's a lot of 2.4's) on 60 percent shooting from the floor and 87.1 percent from the line, but he also clearly separated himself from the likes of Gordan Giricek, Morris Almond and C.J. Miles to earn the starting gig from coach Jerry Sloan.
Brewer didn't see much playing time last season, mostly because of Sloan's aversion to playing rookies, but that doesn't mean he can't breakout in his second season. In fact, I'm banking on just that; Brewer has earned Sloan's trust and looks to be in store for 30-plus minutes per game. With those type of minutes, he should be a major contributor in steals and field-goal percentage while adding around 14 points per game for the Jazz. He won't hit many 3-pointers or do much in terms of rebounds or assists, but his potential to create 2-plus steals per game makes him a highly attractive addition in fantasy leagues of all sizes. Think of him as a younger, more athletic version of Ruben Patterson, but with more upside.
Travis Outlaw, SF/PF, Trail Blazers (14.8 percent owned):
Outlaw has been on the fantasy radar for what seems like years, but his youth, inconsistency and a lack of minutes have really prevented him from becoming a household name. Now in his fifth season as a pro at age 23, Outlaw could be ready to step up with an opportunity for increased playing time in Portland. Over the years, Outlaw has shown some serious upside, especially in two of the more scarce fantasy categories, steals and blocks. He saw just 22.9 minutes per game last season, but was still able to average 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks on the season. That's pretty impressive, but even more impressive was his play when he was able to secure extended minutes. In the month of April (nine games), Outlaw posted 18.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks in 31.1 minutes per game. Not too bad. Not too bad at all. He's continued his solid play during preseason action, putting up 13.6 points, 4.1 boards, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks in seven contests. Outlaw looks to be ready to earn about 27-30 minutes per night as the first man off the bench in Portland. And while we're on the topic of small forwards in Portland, the man starting over Outlaw right now -- Martell Webster (9.6 percent owned) -- makes for a nice addition as well.
Craig Smith, PF, Timberwolves (0.0 percent owned):
Most folks are liking Corey Brewer and Rashad McCants in the wake of the "Ricky Davis trade", and I'm with them 100 percent, but I think a lot of people are forgetting the "other" Wolves player dealt in the trade -- Mark Blount. Blount's departure clears some space for yet another promising youngster in Minnesota, Craig Smith. The Wolves are pretty thin on their front line, so look to see Smith earning the majority of minutes at the power forward spot while Al Jefferson holds down the fort at center. Smith is undersized for an NBA power forward, but his lack of size doesn't hurt; the Boston College product excels at finding the loose ball and positioning his body under the glass for tough rebounds in traffic. Like many rookies, Smith didn't see much action in his first season as a pro, but he was impressive when he did finally start seeing the court for extended periods of time. In 10 April games, Smith posted 11.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and a steal in 30.6 minutes per game. Do not mistake him for a shot-blocker, but realize that Smith has the potential to be a nightly double-double threat with the ability to create about a steal per game.
If You're Hardcore
I've never been a big fan of the 10-team league format for fantasy basketball. What's the fun in that? Every team is stacked, and there's always a ton of quality guys sitting out on the wire. If you really want a challenge, put yourself in a 12-, 14- or 16-team league. That's where you'll really test your fantasy mettle. Heck, Eric Karabell and I are going to duel it out in a 30-team league this season. Now that's hardcore. And for those of you who are playing in deeper leagues, this is the section for you. Every week, we'll take a quick look at a few players who might not yet be ready for prime time, but definitely offer some value for those playing in deeper fantasy formats.
Andray Blatche, PF, Wizards (0.7 percent owned):
If you're looking for a high-upside gamble at the end of your draft, Blatche might be your man. I am fully convinced that it will be Blatche, not Brendan Haywood, who steps up in Etan Thomas' absence in Washington. The 21-year-old has already started to show glimpses of his potential averaging 10.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks in 25.6 minutes during preseason action.
Francisco Garcia, SG/SF, Kings (4.4 percent owned): There aren't many players in the league who could potentially average a steal, a block and a three-pointer per game, but Garcia is one of them. In his two-year career, Garcia has averaged just 18.6 minutes, and despite the lack of playing time, he's still been able to average 0.6 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.6 3-pointers per contest. With more minutes (he's likely to earn a bigger chunk this season, especially with Mike Bibby out for up to 10 weeks), he should be able to turn himself into one of those rare 1-1-1 guys, which would make him valuable in all fantasy formats, let alone deeper ones.
John Salmons, SG/SF, Kings (0.7 percent owned): Everyone is talking about Quincy Douby, who may start in Bibby's absence, but Douby is more of a point-scorer, while Salmons is better suited to distribute the rock. Both players will see a spike in value due to Bibby's injury, but Salmons, who has averaged 3.5 assists per game as a starter for his career, is the guy you'll want to add to your rosters in deeper leagues.
Jason Smith, SF, 76ers (0.7 percent owned): After Samuel Dalembert and Reggie Evans, there's simply not much depth in Philadelphia's frontcourt. And that means there's an opportunity for Smith to see ample minutes in his first season as a pro. Dalembert is still working his way back from a foot injury and Evans registers too many fouls to stay on the court for more than 25 minutes, so the Sixers might be forced to call on Smith early and often this season. I'm not super high on his prospects, but he's definitely worth a look given the situation in Philly.

Quite interesting.

Funny everyone!bashing story. Thank you!
| azphxbrd chapter 1 . 12/8/2010
All I got to say,Excellent forward to reading more future works of art.
| Cateagle chapter 1 . 12/8/2010
I loved the revenge on the traitorous Weasleys and Dumbledore; 'twas most fittingly done. Harry's revenge on Remus was more smoothly handled and I suspect therd'll be some very surprised folk. That everything was live was a beautiful way of making certain that Albus couldn't lie or manipulate his way out of his "reward". I'd say Harry's grades were impressive (I'd love to have seen the look on Hermione's face when his scores were announced, rather than just hearing that squeak). All in all, a most suitable revenge on Albus by living (very) happily ever after. It should be interesting to see what a post-Voldemort wizarding Britain does with itself.

this was an AWESOME story!
