The Captains and the Kings Depart:1Talking About Donald B. King
By Jennifer Jackson, JD (Family Law News, Judicial Survey, Vol. 19, No. 1) Judicial Survey
If he be not fellow with the best king, thou shalt find the best king of good fellows. SHAKESPEARE, King Henry V, act V, sc.ii, l. 259
That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution. Sir William Blackstone 1723-1780, Commentaries [1765-1769], introduction, bk. III, ch. 17.
This judicial survey celebrates the career of Donald B. King, retiring Justice of the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Division 5, in the words of his judicial cohorts2. In speaking with them, I was struck by Justice King's ability to instill a sense that he had taken a special interest in each person, that he had advanced each career and that he had enriched each life in a very personal way. This is a gift, which Donald King has passionately applied to the advancement of our field. Let's hear from his colleagues on the bench:
The Hon. J. Clinton Peterson
Justice of the Court of Appeal for the State of California, First Appellate District, Presiding Justice, Division 5
We will really miss him. I've known Don King since 1988, and have worked closely with him since 1992, when I became presiding Justice of our division. Don is one of the most highly regarded members of our court and has been very active in internal administration, serving among other things as chairman of the personnel committee. He is one of our senior people, with an interest in - and a long history with - development of court policy. Don is so easy to work with, always finding ways to ameliorate our initial differences in a given case. In all the time I've been in this division we have only had one or two dissents, which is quite remarkable. Of course, Don is our family law guru. We remembered the days when you had to make a pitch for extreme cruelty in order to get your divorce, which could constitute anything from eating crackers in bed to hitting someone over the head with a baseball bat. Those were hard times and these tactics generated a lot of animosity, between the parties and toward the practice of family law itself. Don has given respectability to that practice, focussing a lot of attention on a very critical area of the law that was somewhat ignored.
You might not be aware that Don is quite an athlete. He played on the same USF basketball team with Bill Russell and Casey Jones, I believe, and fondly recalls a barnstorming mission with the team playing basketball all through Central America. Don is also a swimmer and loves the Russian River: he and Nikki have a lovely place in Healdsburg which they share generously with their friends. One particular summer afternoon on the Russian River comes to mind when I overturned my canoe with Mike Hanlon in it. I guess the best thing I could say is that he's the kind of guy you'd like to go fishing with. I consider him one of my best friends and I'm really sorry to see him go.
The Hon. Harry Low
Retired Justice of the Court of Appeal for the State of California, First Appellate District, Division 5:
I've known Don for more than 30 years now, not only as a colleague but as a friend. Don and I campaigned for his close friend Leo McCarthy together in 1963, when I was president of the Chinese American Democratic Committee. Don and I were at San Francisco Superior Court together and then went on the appellate bench together in 1982, assigned to the same division for nine years with Justice Hanning. Don's office was next door to mine; we talked several times a day and went to lunch 2 or 3 times a week. Don is one of the more active social promoters at the court. In addition to rounding everybody up for lunch two or three times a week to keep us in close touch with one another, he believes in the importance of staying involved in outside social activities that preserve our connections with the Superior Court and the community at large.
Don likes to talk about his basketball days at USF and to put things into basketball terms. For example, every once in a while we'd get a lousy opening brief from one side, which invariably produced a lousy responsive brief. Don would always remind us that "when one team plays poorly the other team seems to fall to that level". We had one of the more livelier divisions and we had one of the more current divisions in terms of case management, in that our common goal was to get cases off our desks. Of course whenever we got a case in family law it was always Oh this one's yours, Don. We had a wonderful working relationship; we had a marvelous ability to reach consensus and it was rare that we had a dissent.
Don's work in family law is legendary, and his impact is probably going to be felt for many many decades. His impact through the Rutter programs is statewide, national, and maybe even international. This legacy will endure. Don't forget that he has written some very fine decisions in non-family procedural, environmental and other areas of law, which are lead decisions and often cited. In addition to his judicious fair decisions, his skills as a good manager have resulted in so many innovative ideas that are taken for granted: let's create a program for mediating custody matters; let's have early control of a case and avoid duplication and high costs; how about using the telephone for conference call; let's have meetings that will short cut the proceedings; let's get reports to guide us and special masters to help us and so forth. What makes the ideas successful has been his ability to put the ideas into practice and show that they work.
The Hon. Zerne P. Haning III
Justice of the Court of Appeal for the State of California, First Appellate District, Division 5:
I can't imagine what it will be like to lose Don. He is just a wonderful guy to work with, and his management skills are quite extraordinary. We've been together since 1983, when we started Division 5 with Harry Low. When we came aboard, the court had an enormous back log; many of the cases that were given to us had been fully briefed for over four years, most for at least three years. It was a nightmare. Lawyers were dead, laws repealed. But somehow we did it. You might not be surprised to learn that we did it by disregarding the prior conventions of the court - we just took it over and did it the way we wanted to. It did not take us long to get to where the court is now: before a case is fully briefed we are calendaring it for oral argument.
But much more importantly, there is Don himself. When you work with someone day in and day out seven days a week for thirteen years you get to know him. Our offices are next door. We don't pass a lot of paper around; we spend a lot of time talking together. We have had vigorous debates over cases but they've always been honest discussions and differences of opinion rather than verbal fistfights. This is they way it ought to be: thirteen years without a harsh word or a hurt feeling.
Ideally, you want to work with someone you trust, someone you respect, someone who does his homework, an intellectual with whom you can discuss legal issues and strategy and explore the law, someone who does the job properly. You want to be able to walk away and not worry about what's happening "back at the ranch". You want someone who will carry his full share of the load up to the last day. If I could say anything that sums up my feelings it would be that if I were going out tomorrow and reopening my law office I'd want Don to come with me.
The Hon. J. Anthony Kline
Justice of the Court of Appeal for the State of California, First District, Presiding Justice, Division 2.2
Don and I were appointed to this court on the same day, so I've known him for a quarter of a century. In my opinion, Don's extraordinary influence in family law has its genesis in one of the idiosyncracies of the San Francisco Superior Court. Because it serves a small county, San Francisco is the smallest of metropolitan superior courts. When, as was the case in here, there is only one judge in the department, this judge can exert extraordinary influence in the whole practice area. And Don did just that. First by longevity - simply by his duration on the family law bench. Second but more significantly by articulating in a very visible way what his policies were. Once everyone knew the rules, conflict significantly diminished. After awhile, other judges in the Bay Area began to take their cues from him, and his views generally became influential.
He has enhanced that influence by his willingness to go on the lecture circuit. He'll go to an opening of an envelope if it has family law written on it. And of course, the benefit of his knowledge and experience has been invaluable to the appellate court. If I have a difficult family law issue, he is often just a few steps away and always willing to talk. While we don't delegate the decision-making process, his views in this area are routinely sought out by other justices who are faced with a difficult family law issue. There is no question but that in this sense he has had an enormous influence on the law being made at the appellate level. Equity is given a lot more play in family law than in other areas, and one of the things contributing to Don's influence is the perception that he has pretty good judgment about what is fair. Don is not just an abstract thinker, he is a fine human being. I'm going to miss him.
The Hon. Isabella Horton Grant
Judge of the San Francisco County Superior Court [Probate; formerly Family Law]
Don and I had cases together as lawyers [and settled them all], then I practiced before him, and then I succeeded him as Domestic Relations judge in San Francisco. When he was first appointed to the San Francisco Superior Court in 1976, you can't imagine the chaos: family law matters were only heard on Fridays, and assigned out to four or five judges. When we heard about his appointment, members of the family law community invited him to my house for a drink and to plead with him to take and to keep the domestic relations assignment. Don followed our advice [I like to think we had something to do with his career], took the appointment and stayed until 1982, when he was elevated to the Court of Appeal and I succeeded him to the family law bench. The department had been set up beautifully for me. Don had devoted all of his time and energy to the job instead of just treating it as a poor stepchild. He did absolutely marvelous things with the department, and his impact was statewide. Whatever is good about the family law department in San Francisco is due to him. For example, he and Jeanne Ames started the custody mediation process, which became mandatory for all California. It was a joy to practice in front him: he was consistent, he'd thought about your case, he liked the job, and he realized how important it was. It was a joy to follow in his footsteps, and it is a joy to be his colleague and friend.
Jeanne T. Ames
Former director, San Francisco County Family Court Services
I knew Don King when he was a young lawyer in the West Portal district. We worked on several cases together and I found him to be hard working, conscientious and concerned about children. We started working closely together when he was appointed to the domestic relations department in 1976, and I was a staff member.
When I began working in 1970 with Family Court Services (then known as the Domestic Relations Commissioner's Office), I thought I had the ideal job. But the only things available to people were marriage counseling and custody evaluations from the counselors, or court orders from the bench. I began to realize that we were doing tremendous damage to families. But there wasn't anyone very interested in changing the system. Then Judge King took the bench, and began sending people to us to "negotiate a settlement" on behalf of the children before he would make any permanent orders or permit evaluations. It just worked out great; we had amazing results. People around the state started to do some of the same kinds of things, and Don and I and many others actively encouraged legislation that would make mediation mandatary prior to a judge making any permanent order about children's custody. This became the law on January 1, 1981. Don, Judy Wallerstein, Isolina Ricci and I then traveled all over the state of California telling people what mediation was and how to do it.
Judge King was also part of a group of us who set up a three day retreat at Vallombrosa in Menlo Park in September of 1982; this was the first time judges and mediators had come together to talk about mediation and child development. After that we organized this on a yearly basis to educate people about mediation and problems for parents going through the court system, and this was the genesis of the Family Court Services Coordinator's Office.
When I first started in Domestic Relations, the assignment of family court judge was bottom of the barrel, the new kid on the block, and the least prestigious thing to which you could be appointed. During the time Don King was on the bench, it became an appointment that judges were seeking all over the state. He gave stature and importance to what happened to people going through divorce and what happened to their kids.
One of the things that made him such an effective judge was the fact that people felt they were heard. He had the capacity to listen to people, to absorb what they were saying and to let them know that he had considered what they thought and what they felt in making his decision. We were able to see this directly as clients would tell us "Maybe I didn't like his decision but he listened to me, and I know he thought about what I said." This led to acceptance by parents, but also led to a family court that was very predictable. Lawyers knew what to expect and how to prepare clients, and client felts like they were fairly treated. He gave people dignity.
Don began writing and speaking, and commanded national and international attention. He was able to bring leadership to the field, to network with people of like interest around the state and the country, to get judges into dialogues about these matters as well as family court mediators, counselors and evaluators. Don and I were a good combination at the right time with similar interests and a dedication to the proposition that things could be better for kids and for parents.
The Hon. Roderic Duncan
Judge of the Alameda County Superior Court [family law], retired.
When we were both young lawyers, Don King and I were active in San Francisco Democratic politics together. Those were the great days when the democrats ran the state and young lawyers were very much in demand, standing around spouting wisdom for politicians. When I was appointed by Jerry Brown to the muni court and completely jazzed about being a judge, Don and I had lunch to discuss what it was like and whether or not he should accept an appointment himself. My glowing hyperbole turned out to be a bit irrelevant, in that he leaped right over me directly into Superior Court. Don became a family law judge, while I spent the next 11 years in criminal and civil court. When I finally became a family law judge, I felt like Rip Van Winkle hearing lawyers rattle off buzz word case names that stood for Don's propositions. While I was looking the other way, Don had mapped the whole territory.
Don King has elevated the status of family law by the opinions he has authored, by his dedication to the education of lawyers and judges on the subject, and by his leadership. His article urging family law reform was the major impetus for Family Law 2000, which is the subject of the Quinton Kopp bill and the judicial council family law committee project on reform. My only reservation about Justice King relates to the unnecessary footnote 6 in his opinion in In re Marriage of Smith, where he drones on about what a great trial judge Agretelis is - or was. It was true, of course, but it has made Judge Agretelis even more difficult to live with[!] My personal favorite is In re Marriage of Stevenot. Who else could have written an opinion describing the OSC scene and the pressures of a crowded family law motion calendar? Who else ever bothers to do more than decide only the minuscule point raised in an appeal, leaving us all hanging about what we do in a case with a slightly different fact pattern? Rejecting that annoying practice, Don's opinions provide guidance about related issues that need definition and interpretation. It's such a contrast to the recent Burgess decision. Here the Supreme Court comes out with a major decision for which everybody has waited months, and now we're all walking around shaking our heads wondering what did they mean? You never leave a Don King decision saying what did he mean?
The Hon. Kenneth A. Black
Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court [family law]
Truly more than any other individual, Don King has impacted the way family law is actually practiced. He is the leading thinker in this area; his decisions are treatises of the law which go well beyond just deciding the issue in a perfunctory fashion. These decisions educate California lawyers and quite frankly California judges about where the law is, where it is going, and why it is going there. His decisions are insightful. Smith, for example, encapsulating a major source of hostility that can't be avoided [where the paying spouse says "I can't afford to pay support" the supported spouse says "I can't afford to live on my support" and Don says they're both right]. His decisions teach: such as his elucidation of the competing policies of temporary and permanent support in Olson. His decisions govern the daily operations of family court: such as the Hebbring endorsement of dealing with conversion, the limits on and possibilities for delegating authority, and other practical approaches to things that burden the trial court in what is already an overly hostile situation. Without the Stevenot procedure [being able to question litigants from the bench] trial courts could not function. Don gave us Richmond orders as the trial judge in that case. Don gave us Cream, which lays out thirteen different ways to divide property [I like to think I contributed one of those methods, which came from choosing up sides for stick ball when I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn.] His decisions are provocative. Baker for example, suggests that there might be a situation where you can modify spousal support without changed circumstances. His Fini criticism of guidelines as a disincentive to working more and increasing the pie is right on target; his comments about the micromanagement of people's lives by the courts needed to be said.
Don teaches us by example that " no one said that judging was easy - sometimes you have to bite the bullet and do what you have to do; as to what you can't do, you should try to get the litigants to let you do it anyway".
The Hon. Leonard P. Edwards
Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court [formerly Family Law], Juvenile Division
Don was my first teacher in family law. When I was a new Superior court judge, he was the guru who took a special interest in me and taught me what family law was all about. He helped me understand what family dynamics were and how courts can help families deal effectively with their cases. We've been friends ever since. We have worked together with the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, both presidents at different times, and we've worked on innumerable projects together, although one of my pet projects wasn't exactly one of Don's, who saw court consolidation as the coming together of two under-resourced courts.
Don King is the judge who made family law a distinguished practice in California. He's the one who was able to bring energy, organization and solid thinking to an area that was not popular with the judiciary and still isn't very popular. But he moved it up a number of notches in the esteem of his colleagues so that it is now a respected field. He is probably the most important person behind the support for mediation in family law, probably because he thought so highly of and worked so well with Jeanne Ames, who was the person in his mediation unit up in San Francisco. We now have mediation all over the place; it is now an integral part in what we do not only in family law but in dependency as well. He was there at the start. He is the pioneer. And I thank him.
The Hon. Rex Sater
Judge of the Sonoma County Superior Court
I got to know Don when he was still a trial judge: he became and continues to be a mentor for me. He gave me various ideas about how to handle the calendar quickly, and techniques for handling the cases effectively. He got me started on having young law students screen these files the day before the hearings; he suggested various techniques to deal with things on the OSC calendar without bogging down. His assistance and encouragement has had a lot to do with my staying on in a family law capacity.
Don King is the leading thinker in this area and just about wrote modern family law. He advanced it like crazy, moving it up in terms of the level of expertise required to handle it properly, its prestige, and the need for committed judges. You can't measure his contribution; its hard to say we are losing him, since I am sure he will carry on - teaching and proselytizing. In any case, it is always good to know that Don is there.
The Hon Jill Robbins
Commissioner of the Los Angeles County Superior Court [family law], retired.
I have had a lot of fun over the years teaching Rutter group programs with Don; I am invariably the designated reporter on Don King decisions, which frankly are our major signposts. Just about every time you pick up an important family law opinion, Don King has written it. You can usually tell after the first two paragraphs. There are very few appellate opinions that break new ground, but he seems to be in the forefront. He's an important person in the rear flanks as well. It's hard to think of anybody more knowledgeable...for that matter, more difficult to turn around to your own point of view. In any case, he is just remarkable.
The Hon. Barbara J. Miller
Commissioner of the Alameda County Superior Court [Family Law]
Even though we fondly refer to him here in Alameda as King Don, the thing that always strikes me about him is that he is a man who has handled the ascendency to his position of power graciously. Even though he is so highly respected and so revered by so many people he treats everyone with great dignity and respect, even if the person might be new to family law. Don is always interested in hearing new and interesting opinions, always interested in what you think and why you might think differently than he does. He doesn't sit in his ivory tower spewing forth his decisions; he still has contact with people who do this every day - judges, lawyers and even litigants. He never acts like the icon he's become.
The Hon. Richard E. Denner
Judge of the Los Angeles County Superior Court [Family Law]
Mr. Family Law. Don is such an impressive guy. He just gets people to do things. I once asked him how he was able to get the San Francisco family law bar to let him do all the things he was doing when he was the Family Law Judge. His answer? "You know, I just did them and they went along with it as though it would be the most natural thing in the world". If I had tried to do any of these things in my courtroom there would have been people marching out front with pickets and torches.
When I first ran across Don he had this odd but interesting little book he was selling [proceeds, by the way, donated to the Bar Association]. It was an exposé if you will of all of his personal tendencies on the bench. It had to have been enormously conducive to settlement; a lawyer could sit her client down and say "look...there's no point in pushing this issue because the judge is going to do this." He liked to lure people away from the standard adversarial type proceeding and convince them to in effect let him run their cases, telling them it would be cheaper and more efficient and a lot less painful. But this is a big responsibility for a judge, who then doesn't have the checks and balances the system provides. I think he kind of downplays his own personal power: Don King can make this work, but can anyone else? To this he says "Oh come on, anyone can do case management." That's Don King.
The Hon. James W. Stewart
Judge of the Santa Clara County Superior Court [Family Law]
I have done Rutter Group updates with Don King for about six years. We are doing our current update program for five weekends in a row, 9 hours of presentation each weekend. I am just exhausted, while he seems unfazed. He has a level of energy that is just incredible
He is the intellectual leader in the area of family law. His retirement will be a great loss: other judges and even other appellate divisions have been willing to defer to his expertise. I am afraid that now we will not have a single defined leader on the bench to whom people can address questions and who will champion their concerns. I would have to say that his biggest frustration is that unlike his fellow justices, legislators tend to ignore people who have knowledge and experience in the area [i.e.: himself.] Instead, legislators listen to their constituents, whether it be a fathers' group or a mothers' group - or worse, try to remedy their problems with their own divorces. However, at our last Rutter Group presentation his wonderful sense of humor about all of this came through: "I expect the legislature to move right away to "correct" the Burgess case. None of the legislators can leave the State of California and now their spouses can move away with their children!".
The Hon. Thomas J. Mellon, Jr.
Judge of the San Francisco Superior Court [Family Law]
I first met Don and Nikki in the course of a political campaign in 1976, when I was running for school board. We didn't have much contact after that until I took the bench, but since then he has been extremely helpful and encouraging. Don has a wonderful ability to let a new, inexperienced judge feel confident. You never get the impression that he has anything going on except talking to you. He wants to be helpful when you want help, but he doesn't want to tell you what to do. The speed with which he can zero in on a problem is truly amazing. In essence he has taught me that I am dealing with a whole bundle of considerations that are simply quite different than what you find in a civil trial department, and these need to be handled quite differently. He emphasizes the importance of letting people - especially the parties - have their say, and then letting them know that you have listened to what they said. Don King has a great combination of skills. He maintains a tranquility about it all that is very reassuring. This is an effective counterbalance to the undercurrent you pick up from a lot of fellow judges, who have this impression that family law is a special place in hell where you are constantly dealing with ridiculous and annoying complaints. Instead, Don gives us a very strong sense of the importance of family law and its positive aspects, and gives it rationality and coherence. He comes at teaching with the same gentle easy assurances with which he approaches everything. With a brand new lawyer, he is collegial and encouraging. With a new judge he's wonderfully practical, emphasizing the importance of the role of the decision maker and in making your policies known to those who would appear before you. Don is a person who is really very much at peace. He enjoys life and has a good sense of humor and balance. He enjoys what he does, he enjoys what he's done, and he looks forward to what's next.
The Hon. J. E. T. Rutter
Judge of the Orange County Superior Court [Family Law], retired ["I'm going to see if Don wants to join me in my retirement just sitting here on the beach throwing rocks in the water."]
Some years ago "King IRMO the First" earned this awesome appellation by walking across the San Francisco Bay to the courthouse where he rendered dissolution a more pleasurable experience by elbowing the lawyers aside. Thereafter, his brief love affair with legislators [and their staffs] caused him to propose the ultimate cure for a presently chaotic system: He seeks to make it so simple that legislators and lawyers cannot understand it. My hat is off to this courageous oracle of common sense, planted like the sphinx amid the sandstorms of social politics and conceptual confusion worse confounded.
In Closing...
As Queen of the South to his King of the North, Don's counterpart sums it up quite nicely:
Hail to the king
Can you imagine, can you believe?
Far reaching opinions on subjects from needs to hidden assets
Not satisfied with just published cases,
Who will replace him and ascend to his throne?
So I join with the others wishing Donald King a retirement fine.

It has taken me a month but I have completed week 6. I felt I was flying after week 5, then hit a brick wall on wk6 R2, I injured my calf and ankle and generally made lots of excises for stopping, too busy went on holiday working away and all that.
I managed to tear myself out of bed last week, then again on Sunday and went back to the start of wk6. Today was the last run and I made it. I took it very slowly and to be honest didn't find it nearly as hard as I thought I wouldn, No idea what distance I covered but it wont be huge.
The really great bit is that I felt able to lift the pace a bit for the last 5 mins then again for the last min, so I am sure I can do the full 30mins with a couple more weeks training. The whole 5k thing might be a bit different though!
Actually looking forward to wk 7 now and hopefully I will be able to lift the pace a little by the end of the week.
Thanks to all for the support and motivational words, it really does make a difference

The purpose of newspaper headlines is to capture reader attention … to target reader interests by telling them briefly what a story is about. Headline writing is an art. Editing them is a responsibility.
Having sat at a copy desk at a newspaper once or twice in my career, I remember being trained to tell the story concisely by drawing the most important element from the story and writing a headline that fit the available space and told the reader what to expect below.
When newspapers either don't take the time or no longer have the resources to assure that headlines are doing that, the threads of journalistic responsibility begin to unwind because headlines are often the only thing most readers take with them. Many people take the headline and nothing else to their conversations around the water cooler, or use them as the fuel for their calls to the sewer of the airwaves (talk radio) or their posts on the sewer of the Internet (newspaper comment boards). Uninformed, they simply parrot what they saw atop a story they never read.
Here's a blatant example of a newspaper not editing headlines.
On what you might now call the "op-obit page" of the Orlando Sentinel today is a headline that you'd expect to see on the "op-ed page" … one decrying rascally Republicans as uncaring about those who might benefit from the relief of misery through legalization of marijuana. (Personal note: I think we ought to legalize marijuana, although very carefully, but this commentary has nothing to do with that.)
The headline ("GOP's compassionate conservatism missing on medical marijuana") is nowhere reflected in the story. No one is quoted as alleging Republicans are not compassionate. Clearly, whoever wrote the headline saw an opportunity to make a political point or two.
When newspapers allow this lack of quality control, is it any wonder why people distrust the news media? All of us in the world of public relations have to deal with reporters on a regular basis, but we can't blame them for headlines like this … written by invisible headline writers on the copy desk.
A better headline for this story might have been "Sides split on wording of medical marijuana amendment." That would have protected the reporter, Jim Saunders of News Service of Florida, from the ridicule of readers who often don't realize that reporters don't write the headlines. By the way, on its website, News Service of Florida's headline was far more appropriate: "COURT FACES SHARP DIVIDE ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUE."
Interestingly, I can't find the story anywhere on OrlandoSentinel.com.

Raf Simons, formally of Jil Sander, will be replacing John Galliano at Dior. After many months of speculation, many say that the official announcement will come from the couture house on Wednesday. Many can rejoice because Raf Simons seems to be a great fit for the house of Dior. His last collection for Jil Sander for the Fall 12 season was a massive hit with critics, and looks to be a precursor to what Simons may design for Dior now that he is on board. I wonder what is going to happen to Bill Gaytten. He was Galliano's lackluster assistant that took over after Galliano was fired from Dior. Photos from Style.com.

Shoe of the Week- Christian Dior Couture
Paris Fall 2011 Couture Part 1
The Paris Fall 2011 Couture Shows are here again and beauty is among us. I am totally loving what I have seen so far. Alexis Mabille and Christian Dior brought the dramatics. If you are looking for a fantastical ball gown, stop there first. Anne Valerie Hash and Bouchra Jarrar showed the finer side of suiting for women by experimenting with neutral and bright shades. Giambattista Valli fell into a gap in between the other four designers by designing cake-like couture in a white, black, and pink palette.


text: Akira Takayama / Port B (Tokio): European Thinkbelt 2016-2018 In his research and project series European Thinkbelt, Japanese theater artist Akira Takayama adapts the utopian plan of a decentralized and mobile university by British architect Cedric Price. His "Potteries Thinkbelt" from 1966 is today regarded as a key approach to post-industrial structural change. Takayama revisits these theories to develop a series of projects as models for the dissemination of education and knowledge in the context of exodus and migration. Together with his collective Port B, he investigates and charts spaces and sites of change, individual trajectories and central routes, while also questioning European strategies of demarcation and identity construction.

Why this phone don't have IR & AutoFocus.
If it has thats a very good phone
looks like n73, just dat it hasnt got 3.2 megapixels. And the designs r very similar. Though i find nokia N95 and E90 the BEST!!!
i wonder if it gets satilite from america. if it does then wats the use of cable?
I am abuse of Nokia and the battery is not long. Many many calls are they make before not breaking, and fine.
something rocking... to all those having n77 must be fully satisfied .. i had ever seen the speed with this nokia n77..go ahead.. rock...
I like This One But Still Its Not Confirm That When This Mobile Will Cam yar I am so Hungry Of this One Yar
Its Marvelous And Dude
well nokia phones basically are phones that for us its awesome or what we call a phone to die for... well its all business... phone manufacturers like nokia and any other brand there is in the market won't even produce a phone that says it makes it all..there is always lacking or worst they will just add or remove features to have another model unit... what a crap... but the most important thing is that we consumer must be wise enough in choosing the best phone for us. a phone that is not that expensive but have all we need and besides we are just tech know hows hahaha. i'm not commenting to any suggestions in here..i'm just trying to weigh things up, think up before you buy a phone not just for you to boast up.
EDGE is something like GPRS but it is faster by 3 to 5 times. You can stream videos via EDGE. if i am not mistaken earlier Nokia phones eg. 6600 and 3660 uses a combination of HSCSD and GPRS for streaming stuff. so, EDGE is better than GPRS or HSCSD
Battery life - guys get real, it has the same battery as n73, if the n73 has a 4-5 days stand-up time and with a 3,2mp camera, almost same screen size -- 16M screen won't eat 2 days from the battery life. GSMArena is wrong it should be around 300 h. (at least 265). E65 has a weaker battery and still gets 265 h. Don't believe everything you read.
n series phones are rubbish i wouldnt give it my dog to chew.... cant beat a nice nokia like 7373. lovely looking handset who needs all this crap... a camera is a camera stop wasting your upgrade on a brick.. and tell them upgrade people you just want a descent phone they are great at their jobs they will send you the best phone
i will put it so that anyone could understand it..HSCSD is over the air information(data) transfer service provided by your mobile operator; it's similar to EDGE but much slower and when you're browsing the internet you pay depending on the amount of time you stay conencted. EDGE it's faster and the bill depends on the data traffic and not the time you stay online (obvious it's a better sollution).T9 it's a predictive dictionary that helps you gain some time by finishing the words for you when you're writing an SMS for example. you input the first letters and word magically apears..Autofocus it's a camera function that make's the image sharp and clear without you making some other adjustments. And finally, RDS means radio data service.have you ever wonder, when you're listening to radio, why the station name and other info regarding it appears on the radio display ? :)
hi guys!! im a beginner in the fone searching. just wanna ask few thngs here:
what r the main definition and function of the ff;HSCSD,EDGE,T9,and autofocus, RDS in Radio???
hope someone will answer me appropriately, and i will thank you very much!!
just email me tnx again guys!!
Do u think that it would be necessary to know which country u are from, before anyone can give u an answer ?
This is not a localised site, its worldwide.
Don't get a N Series phone if u can't even diffrentiate this.
Its people like u that make comment about how bad N Series phone are later when u buy them.
Sorry, but this is the fact
I want to ask few question on this phone does it take better pic than my nokia 6233 how about speaker are they louder and what about music ? i am looking between N77 and rizr Z8 which would be better i am going to buy one of them in next month so please help me
hey guyz..this mobile set is one of my favourite mobiles that i had used or i am using now a dayz..every thing is perfect...i think u can compare this hand set to N73 in sound..and in camera quality...
its a nice fone....
one cant argue about the features...
the cam is good enough for a tv fone, and for heaven's sake, its a camera fone, not a fone camera!!!
nokia is capable of makin the "perfect cellfone", but they hav got commn sense not to do so....
cuz if they do, they will go on loss!!! why???
2 main reasons...
1. what about the other fones lik 8800sirocco, n73, n95, n93 etc...? they will have no buyers at all!!!
2. perhaps the most important point, the price will be too high, and the budget users will boo the model only & only due to the price...

When I was studying tavernology at UWA back in the 80s the place didn't have a fine arts department. No, sirree. UWA was where MEN went to do engineering or chemistry, or perhaps medicine if they were a bit effeminate. It was a blokes' uni back then, sharply evidenced by the controversy that ensued when a woman had the temerity to enroll to do engineering.
With no art student chicks around, things at UWA were pretty dire for a young man on the make. Luckily for me, however, my sister was doing fine arts at the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT) at the time, so I hung out with her crowd who were a hell of a lot groovier than the UWA squares. Actually, "edgier" may be a better description of that bunch; substance abuse and mental health problems being two of their defining characteristics.
And the art? Back in those days, for fine art to really be fine art, it had to include nudity, dead animals, bodily fluids, an element of self-harm – or preferably, all four together.
Little wonder then that I was ready to put on my rain-coat for the recent UWA fine arts graduate exhibition. But as it turned out, such protective clothing was unnecessary, as edginess was completely absent from this show.
The first sign that the zeitgeist of fine arts study had changed irrevocably over the last twenty years was that the (free) bar still had booze to serve a FULL HOUR after the show opened (even more incredibly, they STILL had booze left when I departed TWO hours later!)! Not only was booze consumption shockingly down, there was no smell of cannabis in the air. And even more incredibly, it looked like the students had washed their hair and none of them were smoking roll-up Champion Ruby cigarettes. No one was vomiting! What had happened to the proud and noble (and some would say vitally important) tradition of the fucked-up artist?
With such a tame bunch, it was pretty hard to find any element of danger in the show, but thanks to the innovative placement of her metal rod sculptures, Jenna Sanders' pieces were inflicting some nice scrapes and rips on the legs of unsuspecting visitors. No doubt the med students over the road were doing a brisk trade in tetanus boosters.
The only other hint of menace I managed to identify was in Patrick Quick's interactive video pieces. The danger coming not from the works themselves (which involved doing some tricky video processing stuff with perspective), but from the headache-inducing explanatory notes that accompanied them. "Is it art if it takes three pages of notes and diagrams to explain it?" I asked a woman who was gawking alongside me. "Maybe the notes ARE the art," she replied. Touche, madam!
Easier on the brain were Jenii Scott's two pieces made out of old VHS video tape. She had knitted a sweater which I would venture was the only piece of clothing made from non-fabric that I ever wanted to put on. It left me with the nagging question of what was on those tapes that she had used to construct the jumper.
I wasn't crazy about the train of video reels attached to the jumper but I'm not sure such fickle fashion questions are relevant in the context of such a beautiful analogue media garment.
The night also featured live music from a couple of bands, most notably five guys who call themselves Apricot Rail. These fellows churned out a fine blend of instrumental post-rock in the mold of Mogwai with the lovely lilting nuances that The Dirty Three are renowned for. Delightful stuff and well worth checking out.
While the band noodled away with their glockenspiels on the outside lawn, Jane Kagi noodled away next to them with some liquid-mixing that was projected onto one of the building's walls. Aha! This was more like it. Finally, some fine art that feels like fine art; a vaguely hallucinogenic lava-lamp bubble type of colour effect accompanied by the melodious sonic meanderings of Apricot Rail. Fack, who's got the acid, man?
Projection also featured in Anna Cocks' piece "Earth Installation," the most interesting work in the show. Anna covered the four walls of a room with a single heavily processed and posterized girly pin-up image which was printed on a multitude of A4 sheets and then wallpapered around the room. The floor was covered with leaves and worm castings (no idea, sorry) and broken glass was arranged in the center.
There was also a performance element to the piece where Anna sprinkled some powder and liquid on an overhead projector to variously illuminate the imagery on the walls. I hit Anna with some probing questions after the ecstatic applause from the audience had died down. "Was there a feminist motif in her choice of imagery?" "No," she said. "What were all the leaves on the floor about?" I asked. "They're to provide a boundary," Anna carefully explained. Right, well that's cleared up that then.
Call me old-fashioned, but this, to me, is really what fine art is all about. It may not have had nudity, dead animals or bodily fluids, but it was high concept with a bafflingly incomprehensible aesthetic quality. Encouragingly for the future, Anna has teamed up with a couple of other UWA students to form the Inter collective. I thought collectives were passé in the art world but I guess such retro stuff is becoming cool again, or then again, maybe it's a post-collective. Whatever, but bring it on anyway. We need 'em more than ever in this soulless town. Now, if they can just get their drug intake up and their pants down we may well have a genuine home-grown arts movement in this town.

Google Embraces Expanding Ads
Rich media units to be available on all AdSense network sites that now carry image ads.
Rich media units to be available on all AdSense network sites that now carry image ads.
Google has kicked its rich media ad menu up a notch with the addition of third-party expanding ads to its AdSense network. Advertisers can now create units that, on being clicked, enlarge to display content like film trailers, video game clips, or multiple views of a product, Google said.
For the time being, the expanding ad option is only available to U.S. advertisers already participating in Google's third party ad serving program, a group that numbers in the hundreds. Those brands are placing ads on handpicked sites in the AdSense network using Google's placement targeting option, the company said.
Expanding ads can be produced by either DoubleClick Rich Media or Eyeblaster. To prevent accidental expansions that aggravate consumers and Web site owners, Google does not allow ad expansions to be triggered by roll-overs.
As with other image ad offerings from Google, the units can be purchased on either a cost-per-click or cost-per-thousand basis. Expanding ads are available immediately on any AdSense-ready sites that already accept image ads. Those properties are not permitted to opt out of expanding ads without turning off all image ads.
Rival ad sellers like Platform-A, Microsoft, and Yahoo have long offered expanding ads. Google has been slower than its competitors to offer rich ad formats, partly owing to its legacy of text-based ad listings and partly to its emphasis on providing a clean user experience. It first began testing traditional banners in 2004, and since then has gradually rolled out other visually elaborate ad options, including its multi-function Gadget Ads, video ads, and hybrid units that combine content and advertising within publisher ad space.
An earlier version of this story said Google's expanding ads can be produced by any of Google's approved rich media vendors. In fact, only Doubleclick Rich Media and Eyeblaster are certified to create expanding ads for placement on the AdSense network.

Pop quiz, hot shot. What do Jose Canseco, Dennis Rodman and Terrell Owens have in common?
If you said that they all competed for Donald's Trump's love and affection on "The Celebrity Apprentice", you'd be absolutely right. If you said they all wanted to talk to you via video message, you'd, ummm, well…you'd be right as well.
For the low, low price of $300 (not a misprint), you can get a "customized, personalized, and unique" video message from the former American League MVP. Sure, you could buy a lot more with your $300, but if there's even a chance that Canseco might also give you financial advice…isn't it worth it?
Now, in the effort of full disclosure, it needs to be pointed out that if video messages are your thing, your $300 could last you a lot longer with the assortment has beens and one-hit wonders (looking your way, Homer Bush or the guy who played Greedo), but hey…none of them once hit 40 home runs and stole 40 bases in a season, am I right?

Adapted from Tone Every Inch
Ah, it hurts so good (just keep telling yourself that). While sharp or shooting pain usually signals an injury worth listening to, feeling more general body soreness a day or two after a tough workout is perfectly healthy. Here's how getting stronger works: When you push your body to do something it's not used to, like use an 8-pound dumb-bell for an arm exercise you used to do with a 5-pounder, the extra push actually damages your muscle, creating little microtears.
More: 5 Foam Rolling Mistakes to Avoid
But don't worry—that's not a bad thing. The healing process that follows is what leaves your muscle stronger and more toned than when you began. Unfortunately, nothing but time can heal those sorenessinducing tears, but there are some things you can do to feel better in the meantime.
Do: Drink milk
Refueling ASAP after your workout with a combination of carbohydrates (to restock your muscles' stores) and protein (to help muscles heal and grow) has long been accepted as the best way to avoid energy dips later in the day and make sure you're on top of your game for tomorrow's workout. Now a series of studies have suggested that milk specifically chocolate milk—might be the best choice, thanks to an ideal protein and carbohydrate blend that muscles can slurp up and use quickly to rejuvenate. Turns out sipping the white stuff (or its chocolaty cousin) after a strength workout might help to reduce muscle soreness over the subsequent 48 hours, perhaps because it seems to spur more rebuilding of muscles, say scientists at Northumbria University in Newcastle, England.
Don't: Get in the hot tub
It may sound soothing, but hot water can actually increase inflammation and soreness in already-compromised muscles—and this goes for the heat brought on by any hot bath, hot tub, or even saunas and steam rooms. However, if you can't resist the tub, toss in some Epsom salt (available at drugstores), which some believe helps reduce inflammation and pain.
More: The Top 15 Bloat-Busting Foods
Do: Bring on the ice
A bag of frozen peas can do wonders for easing inflammation and soreness, but for ultimate relief (after the initial shock) try an ice bath. A common trick of elite athletes, dumping a bag (or a couple trays) of ice into a bathtub filled with cold water can help to minimize soreness. The cold causes your blood vessels to constrict, which limits the increase in bloodflow to the damaged muscles initially (like kinking a hose). Then, when you get out of the cold tub and warm up, the blood gushes through with healing nutrients, helping to flush out some of the soreness-causing agents in the blood, explains Greg Ranalli, an athletic trainer in Wayne, Pennsylvania, who has published several studies on the effects of body cooling for athletes. Still prefer to sip your ice water, not sit in it? Try a cool shower instead of a hot one.
Don't: Stretch (too much)
While some light stretching feels good on sore muscles thanks to what some experts describe as an analgesic effect, overdoing it could actually do more damage than good and even prolong your recovery, says David Geier, MD, an orthopedic surgeon and the director of sports medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
More: 6 Exercise Excuses a Sweat Session Can Solve
Do: Pop an anti-inflammatory
If you want to, that is. NSAIDs, including ibuprofen (Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol), and naproxen (Aleve), can help to ease soreness and inflammation, as well as lower levels of an enzyme that signals muscle damage. They can help you feel better, but they won't get you back to your A-game any faster than simply waiting it out. If you are going to pop pills, stick to the recommended dosage on the bottle, and keep taking them as recommended for a couple of days. Take 'em just once and you won't realize the inflammation-squelching benefits.
Do: Get a massage (or give yourself one)
While research is mixed, a good rubdown has been shown to reduce swelling and lessen soreness by as much as 30 percent, and we're willing to take these odds. While an hour-long professional session is great if you have the time and the bucks to pay for it, studies suggest as little as 10 minutes on a sore muscle can do the trick. If you can't get to a pro, a DIY leg massage is wholly within your (or your husband's) talents: Alternate between gliding palms over the length of the muscle, kneading in small circles, and drumming up and down the length of the muscle to increase healing bloodflow.

An Under-Penetrated Market Ready for Activity
As featured in our Q3 2012 Capital Ideas Newsletter. An article by Eduardo Berdegue, Managing Director of our San Antonio/Austin office.
Over the past decade, the surprising evolution of the Mexican economy has been greatly overlooked by the impact of crime-ridden headlines unjustly concealing a vastly more encouraging reality. Improving economic conditions has poised Mexico for a substantial increase in cross-border M&A activity, and is quickly coming to the attention of private equity groups.
As indicated by Richard Fischer, Chair of Dallas Federal Reserve, in the Financial Times last May, it is a mistake to see a country that is outperforming the US in many economic areas through the lens of immigration and drug trafficking. "Mexico has a sound macroeconomic footing and is addressing the microeconomic problems still holding it back" adds Fischer, "The same can not be said for the US."
At 113 million, Mexico's population is 3 times larger than that of Canada. It has the 11th largest economy in the world, and the 5th among emerging countries, only after the more touted BRIC group. The country's GDP is expected to grow between 3.5% and 4% in 2012, while inflation is being maintained at around 4%. In comparison, Brazil's expected GDP growth rate for 2012 is only 2.2% with an inflation rate unlikely to remain under 5% this year. Moreover, Mexico's public debt/GDP (33%) and unemployment rate (5%) are far better than those of most, if not all, industrialized countries.
As a potential market for goods and services, Mexico's young and vibrant demographic composition (median age is 26), and the steady rise of the country's middle class to economic prominence (54% of population) is changing many of the stereotypes that helped define the country's consumption patterns in the past. Much like their peers elsewhere, Mexico's educated and overscheduled "soccer-dads" travel by plane, spend on cars and gadgets, eat out more adventurously, live longer, and max their credit cards. Unsurprisingly, opportunities abound in the food, education, leisure, health, and financial services sectors among many, many others. Mexico's imports are $317 billion, 55.5% of which originate in the US.
As a manufacturing base, Mexico has much to offer. For one, proximity to the US and easy access to the Pacific rim countries represent an enviable location that is strengthened with the dozen free trade agreements offering Mexico preferential relations with 49 countries (Mexico is the 2nd country with most trade agreements in the world). The country's pool of engineers grows by 115,000 each year helping Mexico rank in the top 20 in economic sophistication according to a joint publication of Harvard and MIT. More recently, Mexico's competitiveness has been positively impacted by continuous labour cost increases in China. In fact, some estimates suggest that if the existing trend of increases in wages, yuan strength, and fuel cost continues, China may lose any competitive manufacturing advantage over Mexico by 2015. Mexico's exports are $316 billion, 82% of which go to the US.
In spite of such reassuring economic conditions, the challenges facing the government of Enrique Pena Nieto after he takes office in December are not small. Security, actual and perceived, is still an important issue, as are corruption and the ever growing informal market. Moreover, how he maneuvers to get congressional approval to execute a controversial Energy Reform approved in November of 2008 that would open up Mexico's State monopoly in the oil sector; and how he addresses the financing and construction of badly needed infrastructure will determine whether additional opportunities for foreign investors loom in the horizon in sectors traditionally reserved for national oligopolies.
In anticipation of continued stability and growth, M&A activity in Mexico is regaining the momentum lost after the 2008 crisis but at around $10 billion in transaction value per year, it is still very small in proportion to the size of the country's economy. Likewise, Mexico's private equity industry is clearly under-penetrated. Approximately 43 funds, mostly local, manage some $8 billion in assets and, proportionately to each country's GDP, have invested 6 times less than Brazil's private equity groups. This is a situation likely to change in the near future as small/middle market focused PE groups and strategic acquirers in the US and Canada start to reconsider their view toward Mexico. There are approximately 40,000 firms with revenues between $7 million and $65 million, many of which are strongly positioned for sustained growth, and would likely welcome partnerships with strategic or financial backers.
In spite of the challenges and risks, Mexico appears to be posed to consolidate an economic model of fiscal responsibility and monetary prudence that were unheard of not too long ago. The country's population is young and vibrant and its middle class growing stronger. It's privileged location, skilled workforce, and trade partnerships worldwide make it an attractive, low-cost manufacturing base for many industries. As New Growth Fund's Rene Fernandez enthusiastically put it in a recent event on Private Equity and Investment Opportunities in Mexico organized by the Dallas office of HaynesBoone, "Mexico is in the best shape it has ever been but if the country had a branding chief, he or she should be fired."

Could he become a brand spokesman?
Vice President Joe Biden's affection for Ray-Ban sunglasses is well-known, and CNN even says his looks has become "somewhat iconic" over the years.
Now the politician is joking about a possible future with the eyewear company.
During a campaign speech on a recent sunny day in Tampa, FL, he received cheers when he put on his sunglasses, CNN reports.
That prompted him to crack: "Sorry, I'm doing this because maybe when I need a job, Ray-Ban may have me as a sponsor." (Scroll down to watch a video of the moment unfolding.)
Biden says he's been wearing the populator aviator sunglasses since age 15. The Skimm has quotes him saying he has to get new Ray-Bans several times a year, as when he puts his sunglasses down, "sometimes people steal them for souvenirs."
The vice president was on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reversed a District Court decision and rejected the lawsuit by Murray Energy which argued that EPA had a non-discretionary duty under § 321(a) of the Clean Air Act to:
conduct continuing evaluations of potential loss or shifts of employment which may result from the administration or enforcement of the provision of this chapter and applicable implementation plans, including where appropriate, investigating threatened plant closures or reductions in employment allegedly resulting from such administration or enforcement.
The Court concluded that this language "does not impose on the EPA a specific and discrete duty amenable to" judicial review. As the Court noted:
Section 321(a) calls for evaluations without, for the most part, specifying guidelines and procedures relevant to those evaluations. Furthermore, Section 321(a) establishes no start-dates, deadlines, or any other time-related instructions to guide the EPA's continuous evaluation efforts.
I'm not surprised by the outcome. Notwithstanding my usual reluctance to speculate, I did go a short way out on a limb and state that the District Court "probably got this one wrong." The more interesting question is why the current administration pursued the appeal. It says something about the havoc that this would have caused that even Scott Pruitt did not want to deal with judicial review over a continuing obligation to evaluate potential job losses resulting from EPA regulations.

GOOCHLAND, VA (WWBT) - Today is the final day of operation for 18 rest stops along Virginia interstates -- and it's unknown if or when the facilities might re-open.
After seven years on the job, Evelyn Beard is making her cleaning rounds at the Goochland rest area for the last time.
"I love this job. I love the people. So, what can we do? Pack up and go home," said Evelyn Beard.
A moving truck waits to carry her supplies away at the end of the day and orange barrels stand ready to block the entrance at the stroke of midnight. It's a sad day for Evelyn and her co-workers.
"Today there was a few hugs, and it made me feel bad for them," Beard said.
The closures are bound to affect travelers as well. Jake Arthur and his wife Mary stopped here for a picnic on their way from North Carolina to New York. For them, it was a much needed break.
"This was a destination we were shooting for," Arthur said. "If it would have been closed I would have had to pull over and do my business on the side, which is not safe and not legal."
When Evelyn looks toward the future, she worries. She's worried for her co-workers.
"A lot of the people who work here, this is their livelihood," she said.
She's worried about the vending machine company, which will have to find somewhere else to do business. And she's worried about the truck drivers who stop here to rest.
"They make their living like that, and this is going to put such an impact on them," she said.
The only thing Evelyn doesn't seem worried about, is her own future.
"I'm gonna clean somebody's restroom. I hate to leave it."

GIOVANNI BATTISTA VIOTTI (1753-1824), Italian violinist and musical composer, was born at Fontanetto in the province af Turin on the 23rd of May 1753. He learned the rudiments of music from his father, a blacksmith who played the horn; and in 1764 Giovannini taught him the violin for a year. Two years later he was placed at the cost of the prince de la Ciserne under the violinist G. Pugnani at Turin, where he became violinist in the court chapel. In 178o Viotti, having already made himself a name, travelled through Germany and Poland to Russia, where the empress Catherine honoured him with marks of extraordinary favour. He next appeared in London, in company with Pugnani, and at once achieved a brilliant and lasting reputation. In 1782 he was equally successful in Paris. Two years later he was appointed leader of the prince de Soubise's private orchestra; and in 1788 he undertook the direction of the opera, raising the performances, with Cherubini's assistance, to a very high level. He had also started an Italian opera in co-operation with the barber Leonard, which was opened in 1789 in the Tuileries, being subsequently amalgamated with the Theatre de la Foire St Germain in 1790 and finally merged in the new Theatre Feydeau in 1791. In 1791 the Revolution compelled Viotti to fly to London, where he took part in the Hanover Square concerts; but being suspected to be an agent of the Revolutionary Committee in Paris he was compelled to retire for a time to the neighbourhood of Hamburg, which he subsequently quitted, although the date of his departure, often given as 1795, does not seem probable. It is possible that he was already in 1794 in London, where he took shares in a wine business, and he resided almost uninterruptedly there until 1819, whenhe once more settled in Paris, resumed the direction of the opera, and retired in 1822 with a pension. He died in London on the loth (or 3rd) of March 1824. Viotti's playing was distinguished by an extreme purity of style, a magnificent tone, and an inexhaustible variety of poetical and imaginative expression. Among his works are 29 violin concertos, a series of symphonies concertantes for two violins, 45 duos, 18 trios and 21 quartets, and a great number of sonatas, notturnos and other instrumental works. His school was worthily perpetuated by his pupil Rode.End of Article: GIOVANNI BATTISTA VIOTTI (1753-1824)
