A blog about random things and sometimes about my work translating and developing KDE and anything

i18n as second citizen in KDE
Programmers are treating bugs reported against i18n as non critical when effectively they are making their program unavailable for lots of users.
You may think this is a personal perception, but let's mention some examples:
* Plasma: Category names ("Application Launchers", "Astronomy") in the drop down box of the "Add Widget" dialog are untranslatable. Plasma developers excuse themselves saying i18n is not their best aptitude
* Places names are set after first use and don't follow the user locale https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=177536
* KMail view names have a similar problem, can't find the bug number right now
* Places names for devices are not translatable http://lists.kde.org/?t=123937583500004&r=1&w=2
* Amarok: Items in the playlist layout editor are not translated https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189750
* Amarok: Default layout names are not translatable https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189751
These are just some examples, don't feel finger pointed if your app is here.
You'll notice that some of this bugs/reports have patches or suggestions on how to fix it, yet nothing has been done to fix them.
So please, don't treat i18n as second citizen, you *really* don't want to alienate so much users from your program.

Well. Kubuntu has proven that even if you break translations horribly for years, you can still be successful.

"Well. Kubuntu has proven that even if you break translations horribly for years, you can still be successful."
Successful among who? How many german speaking people are using Kubuntu?
I wouldn't call Kubuntu successfull

I couldn't agree more with you.
Bad or missing translations make the system look unprofessional. Being embarrassed because of bad translations when showing your desktop to other people isn't a good feeling :(
Why is this so difficult? Just *never* -- and I mean *never* ever write any text in your code without making it translatable. Only exception should be code comments :)

let me share something with you about influencing people: if you would like to see change, try discussing it with them instead of sniping them behind their back as your first move.
so let me set the record straight:
"Plasma: Category names ("Application Launchers", "Astronomy") in the drop down box of the "Add Widget" dialog are untranslatable. Plasma developers excuse themselves saying i18n is not their best aptitude"
i happen to use an english language desktop environment. i don't get to see what isn't translated; i actually sort of rely on others to notice these things and bring them to my attention.
so when someone did that, just today, i noted that that was why i haven't noticed it. then i asked if those .desktop entries are being translated (again, i don't know: i don't translate!) and he said they weren't.
my suggestion was that we could move to Keywords= instead of X-KDE-PluginInfo-Category= because Keywords= is apparently translated.
that was exactly (to the minute, oddly enough) 7 hours ago.
and for that we get sniped on your blog on planet.kde.org. for ONE set of entries in a combobox in ONE dialog.
let's recap that one again in slow-mo:
* i'm not aware of an i18n problem
* we're asked why they aren't translated
* i say "i wasn't aware they weren't being translated"
* we figure out a possible solution
* seven hours later i read your blog

- Aaron J. Seigo said...
oh, and i might add that this is a problem that exists in KPluginInfo, which makes the Category field completely unusable for user visible text, not something we intentionally did or did not do in Plasma.

@aaron: let me share something with you about influencing people: Once you've discussed with them and they have done nothing you've not much option left than what you would call *trolling*
Also it's quite amusing you don't reached the part where i said "These are just some examples, don't feel finger pointed if your app is here." and you had to explicitely do a blog on your own accusing me of premature protestation
I'm sincerely wondered by the fact that ANY critic you get on plasma gets the critic person on your shooting radar
And then you go on and accuse me of just complaining before proposing fixes, when almost all the bugs i posted contain either patches or comments on how to fix the situation
- Friday, May 01, 2009 11:24:00 AM
I'm posting here because I don't have/want a blogger account, but i am commenting on Aaron's post in response to this entry:
Aaron, your posting feels a bit like "do as I say and not as I do." You are asking someone to not lash out harshly by... well... lashing out harshly. As a third party observer who is not privy to the background of the issue, Albert's post seemed like anything but an attack on Plasma and your work. Instead it seemed to me like a fairly balanced rally cry to highlight the importance of translations. Yes, it could have been worded better, but then again so could your posting. In fact, I can tell you that Albert's post has already had a good effect because since reading that posting I have put more effort into translations for my own application, so at least a little good has come from it.
- Friday, May 01, 2009 8:20:00 PM
While I certainly understand that you might have felt slighted, there is no need for the kind of personal attack that you included in your comments on Albert's blog and here on this one. Just as you suggest that you would be happy to send a "re-written version of your blog entry that says exactly the same thing without the damaging nature of your approach" we could all do very much the same thing for this blog post. You can get your point across much better without needing to single someone out. I know that you mean well, and I believe that you are neither malevolent nor destructive, but I think if you stand back from the issue for just a few moments that you will see that you are being hypocritical in this posting.
That being said, thanks for all the great work on KDE and Plasma... my desktop would not be so pleasant without your great work. Just try not to react so harshly to criticism, especially when it it is not really directed at you.
- Friday, May 01, 2009 8:21:00 PM
- Jeff D said...
I think it's pretty well understood that, if not a majority (i'm not sure), at LEAST a very large percentage of KDE devs don't reside in an english-is-the-primary-language country. Many prominent devs are in Germany, France, Norway and Poland.
OSS, in general, is VERY receptive to i18n needs-- much more so than proprietary software. So, in short, I just don't believe you. You sound like you have a little pet bug, and are now developing a chip on your shoulder.

Huawei Australia's chairman has said a national cyber security centre should be built to test technologies for infrastructure projects, such as the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The company's proposal is in response to a recent US congressional report that issued a warning about potential backdoors that could be exploited by Chinese state agencies and the ban on Huawei participation in construction of the NBN.
In a speech to the National Press Club today, John Lord said developing effective cyber security frameworks is not just a challenge for Huawei and it should be approached collaboratively.
"Nobody has got it right yet, and as the ICT industry continues to develop so rapidly, it will continue to be a challenge for agencies to keep up with the pace of change…" he said.
"Huawei is proposing the establishment of a national cyber security evaluation centre, to test the security credentials of technologies being implemented into critical infrastructure projects."
The centre would include testing products and equipment for critical infrastructure projects, including the NBN.
The centre could be funded by vendors and operated by Australian citizens who had passed security clearance, Lord said. He said the cost of setting up such a centre would depend on the centre's level of sophistication and that Huawei had not yet spoken to other non-Chinese vendors about whether they would behind such a project.
Huawei was banned from participating in the construction of the NBN because of security concerns.
Lord said that while Huawei was "disappointed" that it was unable to participate in the NBN, "we have accepted the government's decision and we have moved on".
"Of course we stand at the ready if the situation changes, but we respect the government's right to make such determinations," Lord said.
Lord took also a swipe at the US government's House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence which recommended US telcos avoid deploying technology from Chinese vendors such as Huawei and ZTE because they may pose a security threat.
"We sincerely hope that in Australia, we do not allow sober debate on cyber security to become distorted the way it has in the US," Lord said.
"The US committee report must be called for what it really is – protectionism, not security."
Some observers have sided with Huawei, stating that the security concerns are paranoia and that the company is too big to risk its business this way.

April 29, 2010
Santa Barbara, Calif. - After finishing the Big West conference schedule with a strong 6-2 record, and ending the season with three straight victories, the Gauchos look to build on their success with a win Friday morning. UCSB will face the No. 7 seed UC Davis in a quarterfinal matchup, after winning the first meeting 5-2 on February 26th. The Gauchos will be the No. 2 seed in the tournament. Head coach Pete Kirkwood knows that the seeding can be significant, even though every team has a chance to win it all.
"The seeding is important because it allows us to play the morning match on Friday," said Kirkwood. "If we advance to Saturday, we will have more recovery time than our opponent."
In the first match against Davis, the Gauchos swept the doubles point and won the Nos. 3 through 6 singles matches to take the victory. Despite the outcome of the first meeting, Kirkwood is not looking past the quarterfinal matchup.
"We expect a tough battle," Kirkwood said of the date with Davis. "You can count on the Gauchos playing with heart, determination, focus, and intelligence."
UCSB will have a different lineup than it did in the first meeting, as Jill Damion was still recovering from her shoulder injury. Damion figures to play a big role for the Gauchos this weekend in both singles and doubles.
"Jill and Tova Hausman have both come up big in the past as did Sofia Novak last year," said the Gaucho head coach. "But it will take everybody to win it all."
Luckily for the Gauchos, depth has been the strength of the team all season, especially at the bottom of the lineup. Bryanna Ojeda finished the season with a dual match record of 13-0, but she was not the only success story. Hausman finished with an impressive mark of 12-3, while Jordan Dockendorf was 11-8, and freshman Annabel Gledden was 13-7. The Gauchos will also be banking on the doubles efforts of Hausman and Ojeda, who ended the season with a record of 5-1, after taking over the No. 1 spot in late March.
If the Gauchos advance on Friday, they would then play in the semifinals at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, taking on the winner of UC Irvine and the University of the Pacific. The Gauchos won the first meeting against both teams, beating the Tigers 4-3 on March 6th and the Anteaters 5-2 on March 12th.
The championship match will be on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m.

Over the years, we have often had fun with the ignorance shown by reporters and editors of the New York Times with respect to literature, history, geography, and especially math and science, as reflected in the paper's corrections section. Today's corrections include a classic of the genre. It concerns this photo, which was part of an article about an environmental controversy in Maine:
A picture caption on Saturday with an article about concerns over a proposed liquid petroleum tank in the Maine coastal town of Searsport described incorrectly opponents of the tank who were shown standing in a circle and holding hands. They were demonstrating the tank's circumference, not its diameter.
Don't you wonder, sometimes, how the Times's reporters and editors did on their SATs? Just remember, next time that paper tells you the science on some topic or other is settled, that you are getting that assurance from people who don't know the difference between diameter and circumference.

BALTIMORE – For the first time in school history, UMBC is sending three individual track and field athletes to the NCAA Preliminaries as junior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), sophomore Brandan McGee (Hiram, Ohio/Crestwood) and freshman Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) head to Jacksonville, Fla. for this weekend's meet. Each athlete won his individual event title at the America East Championships earlier this month, but also qualified for the regional meet by recording a top-48 finish in the East Region.
Deller, a six-time shot put champion in the America East, travels to the Sunshine State as the first UMBC field athlete to make the regional meet since Ashley Fauntleroy back in 2008. After winning both the shot put and weight throw and earning the title of Most Outstanding Field Athlete at the conference indoor meet in February, the junior extended her reign in the shot put with another title at the outdoor meet at Maine. Deller's winning toss of 14.81m (48'7.25") at the championships slots her second on UMBC's all-time list, trailing only former NCAA Champion and multiple-year Olympian Cleopatra Borel.
In the steeplechase, McGee looks to continue to break records and set new standards in the school record book. Already the UMBC record holder in the event with his time of 9:01.73 at the America East meet, McGee is the first steepler in school history to make the cut for the regional meet. In addition he is the first UMBC male athlete to qualify for the meet since Adrian Arthur and Antonio Thomas did so during the 2009 season.
Just a rookie, Jackson earns the trip to the First Coast after a remarkable freshman campaign in which she became a two-time America East champion and was named the Most Outstanding Rookie at both the indoor and outdoor meets. She is the first UMBC female sprinter to qualify for the NCAA regional meet in addition to being the first athlete to earn qualification in two events.
In her very first collegiate meet, the Bison Opener in December, she broke the school record in the 60m dash. Later in the season she would break her own mark (7.49) and added the top time in the 200m (24.00) to her claim. At the indoor conference meet, the sprinter won the 60m dash while earning a silver medal in the 200m event.
Moving outside, Jackson continued her assault on the record book, duplicating her indoor feat by breaking a school record in her first meet, this time the 100m dash at the Weems Baskin Invitational in South Carolina. Through the spring she was unrelenting in her chase for history, setting new UMBC records in the 100m (11.66) and 200m (23.80), as well as anchoring the 4x100 (46.47) and 4x200 (1:38.04) relays to school-best times.
The NCAA East Region Preliminary meet will be held on the campus of the University of North Florida and will begin on Thurs., May 24 and run through Sat., May 26

President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday told the Tourism Bureau to remove the simplified Chinese version from its Web site, saying all government agencies should use traditional Chinese characters in official documents and on the Internet.
The president's instructions came in the wake of a dispute over the use of simplified characters to cater to an expected influx of Chinese free independent travelers (FITs).
The Tourism Bureau had provided simplified Chinese among other languages on its Web site. The simplified Chinese version was removed yesterday morning.
"To maintain our role as the pioneer in Chinese culture, all government bodies should use traditional Chinese in official documents and on their Web sites, so that people around the world can learn about the beauty of traditional characters," Presidential Office spokesman Fan Chiang Tai-chi (范姜泰基) quoted Ma as saying.
On Tuesday, the Executive Yuan urged retailers and other businesses to refrain from replacing traditional characters with simplified characters in product descriptions or on menus to cater to FITs.
Opening Taiwan to FITs is the latest move by Taiwan and China to enhance cross-strait exchanges. On Sunday, Chinese National Tourism Administration Chairman Shao Qiwei (邵琪偉) announced that the program would start on June 28 and would initially be open to residents of Beijing, Shanghai and Xiamen.
China's unilateral announcement of an official launch date caught Taiwan by surprise. On Monday, Mainland Affairs Council Deputy Minister Liu Te-shun (劉德勳) said work still needed to be done, adding that if everything proceeded smoothly, FITs would be able to visit before June 28.
Fan Chiang yesterday repeated the Executive Yuan's call for businesses to stick to traditional characters, saying Taiwan has opened its doors to Chinese tourists for three years and most have no trouble reading traditional characters.
"Chinese tourists come to Taiwan to experience the different culture and traditions here, and we should not take this experience away from them," Fan Chiang said.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Errick Bethel scored a career-high 31 points in the Coker men's basketball team's 100-89 season ending loss to the Anderson Trojans in the semifinals of the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Championship on Saturday (Mar. 8).
It was a tightly contested, physical game from start to finish, as there were 19 lead changes and eight ties in the 40 minutes of action. There were also a combined 55 fouls, resulting in 63 total points for both the Cobras and the Trojans from the free throw line.
Coker took the lead, 40-33, heading to the locker room at halftime. Anderson quickly responded with a 7-0 to tie the game at the start of the second half. The Cobras and the Trojans exchanged baskets over the next eight minutes, keeping the score within three points, until Anderson used a 9-1 run to take a 70-59 lead with just under nine minutes left in the game.
The Cobras continued to battle down the stretch, cutting the Trojan lead to just four points, 86-82, thanks to 15 straight points by Bethel, with three and a half minutes remaining. Unfortunately for Coker, a 14-5 Trojan run closed out the game at 100-89.
Bethel's career high 31 points included six three balls and a perfect 7-for-7 from the charity stripe. In addition to Bethel, the Cobras spread the wealth as three other Coker players scored in double figures. Julian Nelson finished the game with 16 points, five rebounds and three assists, while Eren Moses had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Trey Marshall added in 10 points, three rebounds and five assists as well.
Nelson finishes his career as a Cobra with 1,418 total points. Good enough for fourth all-time at Coker.
The Cobras close out the season with a record of 15-13 overall, finishing seventh in the SAC standings with a record of 11-11 in league play.

A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces a small amount of beer. Exact definitions vary, but the terms are typically applied to breweries that are much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries and are independently owned. Such breweries are generally characterized by their emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique.[1][2]
The microbrewing movement began in the United Kingdom in the 1970s—although traditional artisan brewing existed in Europe for centuries—and subsequently spread to other countries. As the movement grew and some breweries expanded their production and distribution, the more encompassing concept of craft brewing emerged. A related term, "brewpub", refers to a pub or restaurant that brews its own beer for sale on the premises.[3]
The term originated in the UK in the late 1970s to describe the new generation of small breweries that focused on producing traditional cask ale independently of major brewers or pub chains. The first successful example of this approach was the Litchborough Brewery founded by Bill Urquhart in 1974 in the Northamptonshire village of the same name. Urquhart had been the final head brewer at the large Phipps Northampton brewery, when it was closed by owners Watney Mann in May 1974 to make way for Carlsberg Group's new UK lager brewery on the site. Alongside commercial beer brewing, training courses and apprenticeships were offered with many of the UK movement's early pioneers passing through Litchborough's courses prior to setting up their own breweries.[4]
Although the term "microbrewery" was originally used in relation to the size of breweries, it gradually came to reflect an alternative attitude and approach to brewing flexibility, adaptability, experimentation and customer service. The term and trend spread to the U.S. in the 1980s, where it was eventually used as a designation of breweries that produce fewer than 15,000 U.S. beer barrels (1,800,000 liters; 470,000 U.S. gallons) annually.[5]
In the USA, award-winning homebrewer K. Florian Klemp wrote in 2008 that the craft beer movement was revived in 1965—subsequent to an earlier American era—when Fritz Maytag acquired the Anchor Brewing Company in San Francisco, United States (U.S.), thereby saving it from closure.[6]
In a June 2014 interview, the owner of an Oregon, U.S.-based microbrewery explained: "You've got to do more than just make great beer. It's really about innovation, creativity—stepping outside the box of traditional beer marketing", while an employee explained that "heart and soul" is the essence of the operation.[7]
Furthermore, microbreweries have adopted a marketing strategy that differs from those of the large, mass-market breweries, offering products that compete on the basis of quality and diversity, instead of low price and advertising. Their influence has been much greater than their market share, which amounts to only 2% in the UK,[8] indicated by the introduction by large commercial breweries of new brands for the craft beer market. However, when this strategy failed, the corporate breweries invested in microbreweries; or, in many cases, acquired them outright.
The turnaround of the Anchor Brewing Company in 1965, after it was acquired by Maytag, is considered a turning point for American beer, due to the revival of craft beer in the U.S., where microbrewing boomed after then-president Jimmy Carter de-regulated the beer market in 1979.[6][10] During the same period, others turned to homebrewing and eventually a few of these brewers started to produce on a slightly larger scale. For inspiration, they turned to the centuries-old tradition of artisan beer and cask ale production that was continuing in the UK, Germany and Belgium.[11]
The New Albion Brewing Company was founded in 1976 and served as a blueprint for American brewers to build small-scale commercial breweries.[12][13] The popularity of these products was such that the trend quickly spread and a large number of small breweries were founded, often attached to a bar (known as a "brewpub") where the product could be sold directly. As microbreweries proliferated, some became more than microbreweries, necessitating the creation of the broader category of craft beer.
American microbreweries typically distribute through a wholesaler in a traditional three-tier system, others act as their own distributor (wholesaler) and sell to retailers or directly to the consumer through a tap room, attached restaurant, or off-premises sales. Because alcohol control is left up to the states, there are many state-to-state differences in the laws.[14] Following the federal U.S. government shutdown on October 1, 2013, craft beer producers were forced into an activity lull due to the closure of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), an arm of the Treasury Department. The TTB is responsible for granting approval for new breweries, recipes, and labels.[15]
Microbreweries gradually appeared in other countries, such as New Zealand and Australia. In Canada, microbreweries flourished mostly on the West Coast, in Québec and Ontario, where a large domestic market was dominated by a few large companies. Many of Ontario's microbreweries subsequently formed the Ontario Craft Brewers association. The UK also has a large number of small commercial breweries making cask ale, the smallest of which are known as microbreweries, and they can be found in small spaces such as domestic garages. In the UK, a lesser divide exists between the microbreweries and the large companies, as breweries of all sizes exist to fill the gap.
In Japan, microbreweries in the early 1990s, used to be known as Ji Bīru (地ビール), or "local beer." An early boom in small regional microbreweries followed Japan's 1994 revision of tax laws allowing the establishment of smaller breweries producing 60,000 litres (13,000 imp gal; 16,000 US gal) per year. Before this change, breweries could not get a license without producing at least 2,000,000 liters (440,000 imp gal; 530,000 U.S. gal) per year.[16] In the late 2000s more well-regarded microbreweries in Japan have chosen to emphasize the term Craft Beer (クラフトビア) to mark a break with the short-lived Ji Bīru boom, and emphasize the traditional brewing skills and reverence for ingredients that characterize their products.
In Germany, there were 901 small breweries in 2010. The Federal Statistical Office defines a small brewery as a brewery with a production of less than 5,000 hectoliters beer p.a. Small breweries pay a reduced beer tax. The total market share of the small breweries is less than 1%.[17] 638 of them have a production even less than 1,000 hl p.a. and can be considered as microbreweries in a narrow sense. The figures apply to commercial breweries only and do not include hobby brewing. About one third of the small breweries have tradition going back up to 500 years, most of them in Franconia. About two thirds were founded in the last 25 years. The vast majority of small breweries operate in combination with a brewpub.
In Spain in 2011, the newspaper El País reported a "revolution is occurring in craft beer" (cervezas artesanales)[18] and more recently that by 2013 the trend had extended to the regions of Cataluña, Valencia, País Vasco and Madrid.[19]
In Stefan Persson, the CEO of Swedish clothing chain H&M, has his own microbrewery on his estate in England.[20]
Craft beer and microbreweries were cited as the reason for a 15 million liter drop in alcohol sales in New Zealand over 2012, with Kiwis opting for higher-priced premium beers over cheaper brands.[21]
Microbreweries have also increased in number in Asia. China, the world's largest beer consumer as of July 2013, is home to a growing craft beer market, with brands such as Slowboat Brewery, Shanghai Brewery, and Boxing Cat Brewery.[22] Cambodia's first microbrewery, Kingdom Breweries, opened in 2009 and brews dark, pilsener, and lager beers. In Sri Lanka, over strict laws made it almost impossible for any craft beer to be brewed. On the remote East Coast, however, "Arugam Bay Surfer's Beer" managed to maintain a small, but popular brew pub. Established back in 1977 the Siam View Hotel escaped regulations due to the long civil war and it's remoteness. For two years running, the Daily Telegraph[23] "Best of British" awarded the SVH the "Best Pub in Sri Lanka" medal.[24]
Brewpub is an abbreviated term for a "brewery" and "public-house". A brewpub can be a pub or restaurant that brews beer on the premises. Some, such as those in Germany, have been brewing traditionally for hundreds of years. Others are modern restaurants. By July 2013, the number of brewpubs in Shanghai, China had doubled since 2010.[22]
Beer arrived in Australia at the beginning of British colonisation. In 2004, Australia was ranked fourth internationally in per capita beer consumption, at around 110 litres per year, though considerably lower in terms of total per capita alcohol consumption. The most popular beer style in modern-day Australia is lager. The oldest brewery still in operation is the Cascade Brewery, established in Tasmania in 1824. The largest Australian-owned brewery is the family-owned Coopers, as the other two major breweries, Foster's and Lion Nathan are owned by the British-South African SABMiller and the Japanese Kirin Brewing Company respectively. Foster's Lager is made mostly for export or under licence in other countries, particularly the UK.
In 1984, changes to outdated liquor control laws allowed Paul Hadfield, a former architect, to open the Spinnakers Gastro Brewpub and Guesthouse in Victoria, British Columbia. Hadfield then expanded into "brew-inspired" jellies, chocolates, baked goods and vinegars.[25]
General beer consumption reached 50 million liters in early 2013 and an increasing interest in craft beers developed accordingly. The Great Leap Brewing Company is one example of numerous microbreweries that have been recently established, with a localization strategy leading to the use of traditional Chinese ingredients and spices in the Beijing brand's beer production process. China's largest brewpub is located in Suzhou and is managed by the Taiwanese brewing company Le Ble D'or, while craft beer consumers are both ex-pats and native Chinese.[22]
In France, a chain of American-style brewpubs operate under the name Les 3 Brasseurs.[26] There is also a chain of about 7 brewpubs called Frog and Rosbif, which blend British and French traditions. ('Frog' is the English nickname for the French, and 'Rosbif' or roast beef the French nickname for the English).[27] The pubs are decorated in a broadly British style, and serve a selection of ales, stouts and wheat beer. Around 600 microbreweries are now presents in France.
Whereas in other countries, microbreweries and brewpubs have risen in reaction to the mass production and marketing of beer, in Germany, the traditional brewpub or Brauhaus remains a major source of beer. This is mainly true for the South of Germany, especially the state of Bavaria. Upper Franconia, a district in the Region Franconia in the north of Bavaria, has the highest density of breweries in the world. Upper Franconia has about one Million inhabitants and ca. 200 breweries. Many of them are microbreweries or brewpubs.[28]
In recent years, many microbreweries have opened in Italy, due to increasing beer popularity among young people.
History of beer in Singapore dates back to the mid-19th century.
Following the introduction of American microbrews in 2012, the popularity of craft beer bars in Thailand—primarily Bangkok—increased fairly rapidly and in January 2014, the fourth global location of Danish microbrewery Mikkeller was launched in Bangkok. The brand partnered with an already established beer distribution company and seeks to capitalise on the higher earning capacity of Thai people in the second decade of the 21st century, as well as tourists. At the opening, one of the owners explained: "... and we thought it was about time to elevate the level of craft beer available in Thailand and, hopefully, expand throughout Southeast Asia." A total of 30 beers are served at the venue, including two microbrews exclusive to Thailand.[29][30][31]
Before the development of large commercial breweries in the UK, beer would have been brewed on the premises from which it was sold. Alewives would put out a sign — a hop pole or ale-wand — to show when their beer was ready. The medieval authorities were more interested in ensuring adequate quality and strength of the beer than discouraging drinking. Gradually men became involved in brewing and organised themselves into inns and taverns ceased brewing for themselves and bought beer from these early commercial breweries.[32]
However, there were some brewpubs which continued to brew their own beer, such as the Blue Anchor in Helston, Cornwall, which was established in 1400 and is regarded as the oldest brewpub in the UK.[33][34] In the UK during the 20th century, most of the traditional pubs which brewed their own beer in the brewhouse round the back of the pub, were bought out by larger breweries and ceased brewing on the premises. By the mid-1970s, only four remained: All Nations, The Old Swan, the Three Tuns and the Blue Anchor.[35]
The trend toward larger brewing companies started to change during the 1970s, when the popularity of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)'s campaign for traditional brewing methods, and the success of Michael Jackson's World Guide to Beer encouraged brewers in the UK, such as Peter Austin, to form their own small breweries or brewpubs. In 1979, a chain of UK brewpubs, known as the "Firkin" pubs, started,[36] running to over one hundred at the chain's peak; however, the chain was sold and eventually its pubs ceased brewing their own beer.
Some British brewpubs specialise in ale, while others brew continental lagers and wheatbeers. The Ministry of Ales, Burnley;[37] The Masons Arms in Headington, Oxford;[38] The Brunswick Inn, Derby (in 2010, half of the beers sold by the establishment were brewed on-site);[39] The Watermill pub, Ings Cumbria;[40] and the Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds[41] are some examples of small independent brewpubs in the UK.
The city of Bristol was identified by The Guardian in May 2014 as an area where the microbrewery industry had flourished. Ten brewpubs, such as The Tobacco Factory, Copper Jacks Crafthouse and The Urban Standard, were identified as thriving Bristol craft beer establishments.[42]
Interest spread to the U.S., and in 1982, Grant's Brewery Pub in Yakima, Washington was opened, reviving the U.S. "brewery taverns" of well-known early Americans as William Penn, Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry. Growth was initially slow—the fifth U.S. brewpub opened in 1986,[43] but the growth since then has been considerable: the Brewers Association reports that in 2012 there were 2,075 regional craft breweries, microbreweries and brewpubs in the U.S.[44]
"Craft brewing" is a more encompassing term for developments in the industry succeeding the microbrewing movement of the later 20th century. The definition is not entirely consistent, but it typically applies to relatively small, independently-owned commercial breweries that employ traditional brewing methods and emphasize flavor and quality. The term is usually reserved for breweries established since the 1970s, but may be used for older breweries with a similar focus.[3]
Craft brewing is most established in the U.S., where changes to U.S. law laid the foundations for the expansion of craft brewing. The 1978 Carter homebrewing law allowed for small amounts of beer and wine, and, in 1979, Carter signed a bill to deregulate the brewing industry, making it easier to start new breweries.;[10] although, states could still enact local restrictions. As a result of deregulation, homebrewing became a popular hobby in the 1980s and 1990s, and, in the mid-1990s, homebrewers launched business ventures based on home-based hobby brewing.
In 1979 89 breweries existed in the U.S.—the Brewers Association reports that in March 2013 a total of 2,416 U.S. breweries were in operation, with 2,360 considered craft breweries (98 percent—1,124 brewpubs, 1,139 microbreweries, and 97 regional craft breweries).[44][45] Additionally, craft brewers sold more than 15,600,000 US beer barrels (1.83×109 L; 480,000,000 US gal) of beer, which represented approximately 7.8% of the U.S. market by volume.[46] In 2007 the largest American craft brewery was the Boston Beer Company, makers of Samuel Adams.[47]
The Brewers Association defines American craft brewers as "small, independent and traditional": "small" is defined as an "annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less"; "independent" is defined as at least 75% owned or controlled by a craft brewer; and "traditional" is defined as brewing in which at least 50% of the beer's volume consists of "traditional or innovative" ingredients.[48] This definition includes older microbreweries, which traditionally produce small quantities of beer, as well as other breweries of various sizes and specialties.[49]
The Brewers Association defines four markets within American craft brewing: microbreweries, with an annual production less than 15,000 US beer barrels (1,800,000 L; 470,000 US gal); brewpubs, which sell 25% or more of their beer on site; regional craft breweries, which make between 15,000 US beer barrels (1,800,000 L; 470,000 US gal) and 6,000,000 US beer barrels (700,000,000 L; 190,000,000 US gal), of which at least 50% is all malt or contains adjuncts that are used only to enhance flavor; and contract brewing companies, which hire other breweries to make their beer.[50]
In March 2014, the Brewer's Association (B.A.) updated the definition of craft beer to remove any references to the use of adjuncts in the brewing process. The change allows long-established breweries, such as Yuengling, to be defined as craft beer. The B.A. statement read:
The idea that brewers who had been in business for generations didn't qualify as "traditional" simply did not cohere for many members. Brewers have long brewed with what has been available to them. (Since the Brewers Association doesn't define craft beer — that idea remains up to the beer drinker — the definition doesn't differentiate on what type of beer craft brewers brew, as long as the majority of what they make is beer.) The revised definition also provides room for the innovative capabilities of craft brewers to develop new beer styles and be creative within existing beer styles. The revised definition removes the subjective assessment by Brewers Association staff of whether adjuncts "enhance" or "lighten" flavor in a particular beer.[51]
The B.A. decision also included an updated mission statement and market share goals for the industry. Association members committed to strive for a goal of 20 percent market share by the year 2020 and Gary Fish, owner of Deschutes Brewery and 2014 chair of the BA Board, explained:
The 20-by-'20 objective is an aspirational goal for our craft community, with an inspiring symmetry. I'm convinced this goal is within our reach if we, as an industry, continue to focus on our strengths and passions—making and delivering high-quality, innovative, full-flavored beer to craft beer enthusiasts ... Additionally, by noting a commitment to quality and clarifying the place of homebrewers and brewing enthusiasts, we further acknowledge the critical role each plays in the health and growth of the craft brewing industry.[51]
According to Russ Phillips, author of Canned!: Artwork of the Modern American Beer Can (2014),[52] the use of cans by craft brewers in the U.S. has doubled since 2012, with over 500 companies using cans to package their beverages. Previously associated with the major brewing corporations, cans are now favored by craft brewers for numerous reasons: canned beer cools more quickly; beer-degrading light does not affect canned beer; canned beer is more portable and less room is required for storage or transportation; and cans have a greater surface area for wraparound designs and decorations.[53]
A representative of the Rhinegeist craft brewery, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S. explained in June 2014 that the perception that bottles lead to a taste that is superior to canned beer is outdated, as most aluminum cans are lined with a polymer coating that protects the beer from the problematic metal. However, since drinking directly from a can may still result in a metallic taste, most craft brewers recommend pouring beer into a glass prior to consumption. In June 2014, the B.A. estimates 3% of craft beer is sold in cans, 60% is sold in bottles, and kegs represent the remainder of the market.[53]
The website The Food Section defines a "nanobrewery" as "a scaled-down microbrewery, often run by a solo entrepreneur, that produces beer in small batches".[54] The U.S. Department of the Treasury defines nanobreweries as "very small brewery operations" that produce beer for sale.[55] Cervezería de MateVeza in San Francisco brews in a 20-U.S.-gallon (76-liter; 0.65-U.S.-beer-barrel) system.[56]

Dwayne Bowe isn't ready for training camp.
Fresh off a big, long-term contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs, Bowe landed on the non-football illness (NFI) list, according to the NFL's official transaction report released Friday.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid later said during a news conference that Bowe has a chest virus and is congested, KCSP-AM reported. Reid said the illness is unrelated to the rib injury Bowe sustained in December.
The coach expects his top receiver "back pretty quick."

My soundtrack
We all have certain songs that transport us to specific moments. I mean, if I hear the Zoom theme song, suddenly I'm four and pretending I'm Edith and have a Boston accent. Or I hear Beyonce's All the Single Ladies and it's two years ago and I'm in a hotel room watching her video on TV - and Sage starts shaking it (in a CUTE way, I swear!).
Anybooty, these are the songs that stick me in a particular place in time. My soundtrack.
Top of the World, The Carpenters: I am 5. I walk on a street near our house with my sister, who's 11, and her friends. I feel awesome because I'm hanging with the Big Kids. We walk, and sing, at a volume that belongs only to the young or the very drunk, "I'm on the top of the world looking, down on creation and the only explanation I can find, is the love, that I've found, every since you've been around, your love puts me at the top of the world." And that's exactly how happy I am. Until we see a dead bird in the gutter at the side of the street. I, for some reason, poke it with my finger. Everyone tells me how disgusting I am and that I probably now have rabies. I'm devastated and slink back home.
Day O, Harry Belafonte: I am 7 or 8. I am obsessed with Harry Belafonte. Obsessed! I find an old record of my parents and play it over and over again. "A beautiful bunch of ripe bananas!" Not sure if they do this at the new place, but when I used to go to the old Yankee Stadium, sometimes they'd play just the "DAY O" part and it would echo, right before the crowd yelled it. Always made me smile.
Hard to Say I'm Sorry, Chicago: I am 13. I put this 45 on repeat, turn off the lights and close the door of our family room. I lie on the couch and listened to this over and over and over. I loved it. Loved it, even though it did not at all apply to anything in my life. Finally my brother complains because really? No one should ever have to listen to this song. Especially 91 times in a row. My parents make me turn it off. What they must have thought..
Live from Hollywood Bowl, the Beatles; Doors Greatest Hits: All was not lost when I was 13. I discover both the Beatles and the Doors. In eighth grade my best friend Paula and I do a report on the Beatles. We make paper bag puppets for John, Paul, George and Ringo and dance them around to I Wanna Hold Your Hand from the Hollywood Bowl album. How fun was THAT? Let's just say the Doors fit in with my mood swings back in those days.
More Than a Feeling, Boston: I am 16. I love me some Classic Rock. Still do. I wear out my Boston tape listening to it constantly in the car. We cruise around - I wasn't driving, I swear! - and drink ice cold Budweiser and play area guitar and blast this. So now when I hear this song I'm taken back...and then I burp.
Faithfully, Journey: I am 17, hanging out at the Homecoming dance. I wear a soft rose-pink Laura Ashley dress that was my most favorite dress ever. I feel pretty. I don't dance with anyone, just hang on the bleachers. And watch everyone else make out and wonder if it would ever be me.
Crazy on You, Heart: I'm 19. A guy friend who lives above me in my dorm blasts this on particular mornings. We know it's time to wake up and start drinkin'. I still remember exactly how it sounded, muted by the floor/ceiling separating us, but loud enough to make me bolt upright. It may or may not have actually been noon rather than the morning..
Diamond Girl, Stevie B.; Brown-eyed Girl, Van Morrison; Just a Friend, Biz Markie; U Can't Touch This, MC Hammer; You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Gap Band; All Around the World, Lisa Stansfield; Fascinated, Company B., Cecilia, Simon and Garfunkel; Red Red Wine, UB40; Add it Up, Violent Femmes: More college. Different friends, different bars, different music. I could tell you about each song, but that would be VERY boring. You're welcome. Let's just say they involved drinking and dancing and loud drunk singing. It was college, y'all!
These are the Days, 10,000 Maniacs; True Companion, Marc Cohn: I am 32. I wear a beautiful ivory dress, with beadwork on the bodice and a band a silk satin around the hem. I peer down from the balcony as the music starts. The setting sun reflects gold sparks on the ocean. The people seated below radiate love for us and are there, together, from all over the country to share our happiest day. "Never before and never since, I promise, has the whole word been one as this.." ... The sun has just set, and I hear the sound of the waves from the beach 20 yards away. It is still warm. In the high 70s, maybe, and I can't believe how gorgeous the orange-red-pink sunset was. How perfect the ceremony. And now I hear the words, "Baby I've been searching" and David and I are dancing, and crying, and dancing. We're married. Each to our true companion.
Hark the Herald Angels Sing: I am 34. Sawyer is born Dec. 13. The next day, I'm in the hospital room with a friend. David and her husband leave so my friend can help me with the whole nursing thing. A nurse comes in and mentions carolers are walking around, and did I want to keep my door open? I soon hear them singing about glory to the newborn king. I'm not Christian or religious or anything, but I look at my beautiful, perfect newborn. MY newborn king, and the tears fall.
Beautiful Day, U2; Sexyback, Justin Timberlake; Chump, Green Day; Pump It, Black Eyed Peas; Alive, Pearl Jam: I am 38 and training for my first marathon. These are the songs that get me through another mile, another hill, another few feet. These songs are still on my shuffle today, and they motivate me to go faster, harder or, some days, just to finish.
Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Michael Jackson: I'm 41. I'm hold X. Sage and Sawyer play. David starts the music, and just like that, it's a family dance party. We spin, we shimmy, we booty shake. We sing. X screams with delight. Or maybe it's with fear from my singing. The older kids want to be picked up and bounced and spun, too. The stress of the day melts away. We are laughing and singing and dancing til we're breathless. Then we do it again.
Thunder Road, Bruce Springsteen: I am 17. 21. 30. 37. 41. I am driving, and roll down my window to let the breeze blow back my hair at just the right moment. This is absolutely my all-time favorite song. Why? Because it has the best lyric ever written: "Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty but hey you're alright." You may be all, "The eff?" at that, but it speaks to me. And that's what music's about, right? How it touches us and moves us and makes us feel.
I'd also like to take this moment to thank my husband for attending two shows with me, despite him not being a fan. Because he knows how much I love The Boss, and how his music makes me feel. That's what love is, people. That's what love is.
So I'm dying to know: what's on YOUR soundtrack?

SexyBack is one of MY running tunes too!! Gets me going EVERY TIME! And Journey? Well, who doesn't feel compelled to sing to Journey? Although it does bring back faint memories of hours spent in the orthodontist's chair as well....
- Paula said...
Hey, that's me! ;-)
I have a long moto mix playlist on my phone, and I could only tell you very, very few of the titles, because you can't look at your phone's screen and ride at the same time.
But I am so cool listening to that soundtrack, riding fast, and singing very, very loudly in my helmet!
- Cheryl said...
Kirsten - The song is great not only because it's got a fast beat, but also because it's really freaking long so I it lasts for more than half a mile. Never saw an orthodontist, so luckily I don't have that association!
Paula - I wondered if you'd see this! That was the best report - EVER! And you are ALWAYS cool, my friend!
- Karen Mortensen said...
I think that is so wonderful that you have songs for each stage of your life. I wish I could do that. Music and me have just been more of aquaintences. But my husband on the other had could do this.
- caroline said...
OK Cheryl, you had me at The Carpenters! Again, you've inspired me to make a summer playlist. Keep up the intensely awesome writing you've been doing lately! You have set the bar high for this summer.
- Cheryl said...
Karen - I don't so much have a song for each stage (well, except for my wedding) as I just associate certain songs w/ those stages. If that makes sense!
Caroline - I'm blushing. Thanks! You must share your list once again.
- Amy said...
the only song that I am sure about in the soundtrack of my life is "Walk on the Ocean" and it was a very powerful song to me when I was 21 and my best friends and I were all headed to different parts of the world. It still brings those memories flooding back.
Your soundtrack would be great on the ipod. :)
- Cheryl said...
Amy - Oh! By Toad the Wet Sprocket? LOVE it!
- The Empress said...
People will think I'm nuts, but there are a few eminem songs tht move my butt like no other:
first and foremost'"Love yourself." Try it, and see...
- Aging Mommy said...
Wonderful songs and stories Cheryl, but the one that almost made me cry was Hark The Herald Angels. I'm not religious either but I still love carols and I can imagine hearing that song with a newborn in your arms was quite magical.
First of all I heart Heart! Also my husband wants you to know that he saw Bruce in 2004 in Toronto and after the show as he was walking to the car Bruce's vehicle drove by and Bruce was in it with the window rolled down and the hubs yelled "Great set, Bruce" and Bruce gave him the thumbs up sign. He's a total nerd and might have been taking herbal supplements but his friend who was there says the story is legit. That is are one and only brush with fame.
- citymouse said...
Stopping by from SITS to say hi. I am impressed that you could come up with such a great list. I love music, but I think I might be challenged to have such a well thought out list. I smiled when you mentioned the Zoom song. I loved that show and haven't thought about it in ages.
- MeCassieMarie said...
I love seeing the variety of songs here! This was such a fun post to read. Hope you are having an amazing day!
Stopping by from SITS! :)
- Cheryl said...
Empress - Love eminem!
AM - It really was. I was a little mortified b/c my friend was there, but it was really moving at the time.
Mombshell - One time I was covering a World Series I was in a room listening to the Baseball Comissioner - while outside at the batting cages? Bruce! And I missed it! Ack!
CM - Zoom was the best! I so wanted to be on that show!
MCM - Thanks!!
- Tonya said...
Great list and I love all the memories. Thank you for sharing. I chose this prompt too and it was hard... There are so so many songs that take me back to good, bad, indifferent, wonderful, heartbreaking and unforgettable memories.
- hezro said...
I've been thinking that I need to switch out the music on my MP3 player because right now it's not all good stuff for exercising. I had just been using it for some "peace and quiet" while cleaning up the house. (And then I would pretend I couldn't hear the fifteen requests for this and that non-important things from my little ones. *hehe*) But it's not a good mix for exercising. Need to switch out the tunes.
- Cheryl said...
Tonya - It was hard! I could've added a lot more!
Hezro - You totally need some booty shaking music!
- Rachel said...
I also have certain songs that reminds me of certain times in my life. Madonna's Crazy for you was a song I listened to when I was infatuated with a friend, under pressure reminds me of the stresses i went to in gradschool. but if i were to choose one song as my theme, it would be Dust in the wind. :)
Dropping by from SITS! :)
- Pamela said...
What a great idea for a post! I had an hour or so to myself this morning & started popping in some old cds that totally started bringing back the memories. I love how we all have our own special "soundtracks":)
- Hagler Happenings said...
I've been thinking about this post. I have SO many songs I could include. We all have soundtracks of our lives. The one that keeps coming to mind is Dave Mathews Band - Under the table & Crash. Those CDs came out when I was in college... brings me back every time. :)

Boyfriend charged with Morris murder

OXFORD – The Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's Department arrested an Ole Miss football player in connection with the death of 21-year-old student Courtney Morris.
Justin Landry, 22, of 234 Eagle Springs Road in Oxford, was taken into custody Tuesday morning and charged with first-degree murder. He is being held at the Yoknapatawpha County Jail, according to booking records.
A bond hearing is set for today.
Both Landry and Morris attended the University of Mississippi and had dated several months prior to her death. She was found hanged on Aug. 26 in her bedroom at Maplewood Apartments.
Landry was among the first named as a person of interest by detectives working the case.
"Mr. Landry provided our investigators with evidence during an interview this morning leading them to believe he committed the crime," said the department's spokeswoman, Elizabeth Jones, on Thursday.
Jones declined to provide additional details about the interview but said the department feels confident they have the right person in custody.
"All persons are innocent until proven guilty," she cautioned.
Also on Tuesday, the Yoknapatawpha County Corner's office released a preliminary autopsy report showing cause of death as "asphyxia due to ligature strangulation."
It's unclear when a full autopsy report will be made available.
In the meantime, Landry has been placed on suspension from the Ole Miss football team, said co-offensive coordinator Dave Wheeler.
"He's a good player and a good guy," Wheeler said of Landry, who played running back. "We are going to let the justice system handle things from this point on."
Teammates of Landry expressed shock on Thursday, saying he's not the type to commit murder.
"I can't believe that. No way," said Bo Brockman, a wide receiver. "They got the wrong guy is all I got to say."
A call placed to Landry's parents' house in Atlanta wasn't immediately returned.
