National Spam storm event – 25/07/17
Following what our email security partner described as a "national spam storm" this morning, we are advising our customers and followers to be extra vigilant when actioning emails.
We were advised that following an influx of spam detections on its servers, a global policy was deployed to all customers of our mailsweep product at approximately 10.15 this morning. This meant that emails matching the global rule that had been set-up would be marked "Fusemail Global Block" and would not be automatically delivered.
Hopefully the event has now passed and no one will have been caught unawares. But, our advice as ever, is to be extremely vigilant with all email communication.
Unfortunately, as brilliant as email can be as a means of communication, there are increasingly those out there that are trying to use it for malicious purposes. And, as our anti-virus and email security products get more and more adept at keeping us safe, those that wish to do us harm use increasingly sophisticated methods in order to trick us.
So what can you do to mitigate the risks? Vigilance is key, a lot of the phishing attacks, particularly by email, usually have some tell-tale signs:
- From and Subject – if you don't recognise the sender's email address, or if the email address is from a suspicious looking domain (for example faceebook.com – see "spoofing" for more info), or the subject has little relevance to the body text. Be wary of opening it. (Take a look at Mailsweep, our hosted email service which protects your network from viruses, spam, advanced email threats and accidental malicious data leakage via email, in the office or on the road, no matter what device you are using.)
- Spelling and bad grammar - a lot of phishing emails usually have poor spelling and grammar within them. It is always worth having a good read through if you are slightly suspicious.
- Links - if you are suspicious of an email then you definitely shouldn't click on any links within it. Hover over the link with your mouse (but don't click) to see if the address matches the link that was typed in the message. You will often find that the actual link is going somewhere else entirely. If you are concerned about links have a look at our clicksweep product, as this may be something you may be interested in adding to your email client.
- Threats – a lot of phishing emails will contain threats in the hope that the receiver will be more likely to take action. The most common threats are that your account will be suspended or closed down if you don't take action within a set time. Other popular threats are that your PC has a virus and you should click a specific link in order to remove it. Whereas the reality is, in clicking that link you may well be activating a virus.
- Spoofing – this is where a 'phisher' will use the name, and usually the logo, of popular websites or companies. The email appears to be connected to a legitimate website or company but were you to actually click on a link, you would be taken to a fake site or pop-up window. Apple, Facebook and Microsoft are favourites often used by attackers as they are the sites most recipients are likely to use. Remember, an email from a legitimate company or website will almost certainly include your name and / or your username. Again, if you have suspicions use the things above to assess whether it is a legitimate email or not.
- Attachments – be wary of attachments, especially .zip and .exe files as these could potentially contain code and programs that could automatically execute on your computer and network if you open them.
If you have any concerns please call us on 01905 758900 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

text: This is a Used set of 2018 Womens Atomic Vantage X80 Skis with Atomic Warden Bindings that adjust to fit US Adult boot size 5-12. The new Atomic Vantage X 80 CTI is an awesome ski for the strong intermediate to expert skier looking for a lightweight and easy to steer ski for the groomers. Atomics Carbon Tank Mesh uses a woven structure over the Light Woodcore that makes the ski very smooth and stable at high speeds, while actually reducing the total weight of the ski. A Titanium Backbone adds to the stability and power of the Vantage 80 CTI. The Exo Profile uses a 3D Profile that lowers the swingweight for a high amount of maneuverability and fatigue free skiing. Atomics Firewall sidewall construction absorbs negative vibrations and creates a firm edge hold on hard snow conditions. This Ski was used in a high end ski shop rental or lease program and is a C Condition Ski which means it will have heavier scratches and scuffs, and chips larger than 1/2 inch. Some of our C Condition skis may have Ptex/Epoxy repairs as well so please view the condition picture to see a close up detail of the type of ski you will receive. The scratches etc will not affect the use of the ski, it is merely cosmetic. We generally have inventory of most listed skis so your set will be in similar condition as the ones show in the pictures. This set has the mountain rental company name and length etched into the topskin. Make sure to view our wide range of winter sports inventory in our Store.

Walt Disney World Resort - Magic Kingdom, Part 5
|Big Thunder Mountain from The Liberty Belle on the Rivers of America.
Liberty SquareLiberty Square is themed to Early America, where 13 disparate colonies united against a common foe, and made America an independent country. What this has to do with the Haunted Mansion I don't know, but it does seem to fit the theme!

Liberty Square - Liberty Tree TavernLiberty Tree Tavern might be the best table service in Magic Kingdom. Of course, I've never tried the character meals, since I generally try to avoid character meals...
Anyway, we ate in the Thomas Jefferson room, perhaps my favorite founding father next to Ben Franklin. The food was good. I'd recommend the place. You'll have to make reservations, the place is usually full.
Liberty Tree Tavern

Liberty Square - Rivers of AmericaAll right, so the theme of Liberty Square might be Early America, but the Liberty Belle Riverboat on the Rivers of America is a steam paddleboat. So we're at least into the early 1800's. It was the paddleboats of the day that went upstream just by burning a fuel source, that started the obsolescence of the horse. It also made roads like the Natchez Trace obsolete, except for those who lived along its path.
The Liberty Square Riverboat takes a lazy lap around the "River", and it gives you a right-nice tour of some of Tom Sawyer's Island and the back of Big Thunder Mountain. It's narrated by Sam Clemens. Who else?

Liberty Square - Columbia Harbour HouseArguably, the Columbia Harbour House has the best counter service in Magic Kingdom. 'Course, I like the fish/shrimp/fries basket... Heh. BTW, the second floor has some excellent seating, and it's usually much nicer than the first floor...

|Gracey Manor, on the way to returning the ghost that followed me home the last time I was here...
Liberty Square - Haunted MansionOne of the original attractions at Magic Kingdom, Paul Frees hosts the 999 happy haunts, and is always looking for that someone special to fill the 1000 slots they have. I was with a friend of mine who's ex-marriage was going badly, and he kept volunteering, but he was still with me at the end of the ride...
There is some really bad video of the attraction here. Read the description on the video page, it'll explain how the video was mixed.
Now, if someone who's never been on Haunted Mansion goes on it, then isn't there 998 haunts left because one followed the newbie home? (I assume that veteran HM guests return the one they took home last time, and pick up a new one at the end, so it becomes a net gain of zero by the end of the day...)
There's also the problem of whether or not it's one ghost per doom buggy, or one ghost per person. Makes a difference.
Yeah, these are the types of things you think of when you drive 1200 miles to get there...
Haunted Mansion
Back to Top
Liberty Square - Haunted Mansion (Old Cemetary)The old cemetery is mostly gone, since it was replaced with a new one in 2011. Leota is still there, and still takes a peek at the guests coming in... Have to know how to shill the mark, donchaknow.
Old cemetery
Back to Top
Liberty Square - Haunted Mansion (New Cemetary)The new cemetery is an interactive queue. It's really part of the next-gen initiative Disney has, to keep the guests entertained even when waiting in line.
Since the queue is new, and there's all sorts of things to see and do, the line to Haunted Mansion can get quite long. Thankfully, there's a bypass to go from the queue right to the antechamber.
There are very cool things here. A musician's tomb, where he will happily play an instrument if you touch it, books that pop out of the book case, a chance to speak to the nearly departed (really, try it, they answer back), and more jovialities one would associate with a graveyard.
There's also whodunnit in the queue, involving all the new grave markers. Between the epitaphs and the statues, you're supposed to be able to solve the mystery of who killed all these people and how. I have yet to do this...

|Purpose: Despite the use of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based adjuvant treatments, a large proportion of patients with high-risk stage II/III colorectal cancer will relapse. Thus, novel therapeutic strategies are needed for early-stage colorectal cancer. Residual micrometastatic disease from the primary tumor is a major cause of patient relapse. Experimental Design: To model colorectal cancer tumor cell invasion/metastasis, we have generated invasive (KRASMT/KRASWT/+chr3/p53-null) colorectal cancer cell subpopulations. Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) screens were used to identify novel proteins that underpin the migratory/invasive phenotype. Migration/invasion was assessed using the XCELLigence system. Tumors from patients with early-stage colorectal cancer (N = 336) were examined for AXL expression. Results: Invasive colorectal cancer cell subpopulations showed a transition from an epithelial-tomesenchymal like phenotype with significant increases in migration, invasion, colony-forming ability, and an attenuation of EGF receptor (EGFR)/HER2 autocrine signaling. RTK arrays showed significant increases in AXL levels in all invasive sublines. Importantly, 5-FU treatment resulted in significantly increased migration and invasion, and targeting AXL using pharmacologic inhibition or RNA interference (RNAi) approaches suppressed basal and 5-FU-induced migration and invasion. Significantly, high AXL mRNAand protein expression were found to be associated with poor overall survival in early-stage colorectal cancer tissues. Conclusions: We have identified AXL as a poor prognostic marker and important mediator of cell migration/invasiveness in colorectal cancer. These findings provide support for the further investigation of AXL as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in colorectal cancer, in particular in the adjuvant disease in which EGFR/VEGF-targeted therapies have failed.

Make going to the dentist a habit for your children early on.
Establishing a good dental relationship early on in a child's life can determine whether they have good dental hygiene and habits that will continue with them into adulthood. Choosing a children's dentistry office that is comfortable for both you and your child is a must. It is recommended that children visit a dentist early on in their lives, even as early as their first year, if for no other reason than to make the experience of going to the dentist something familiar to your child.
What We Offer
At Amberwood Dental Centre, we offer children's dentistry to residents of Newmarket, Ontario and surrounding areas. We understand that visiting a dentist may be something that causes your child fear or uncertainty, so our staff will work extra hard to make sure they feel comfortable and welcome in our office. We have a children's play area, so you can bring the children to their appointments and let them play first, allowing them time to acclimate to the office before we take them back for their check-up. We want to set a comfortable tone with your child that will influence their future dental health.
Preparing Your Children for a Trip to Our Office
Even though children's dentistry is one of our specialties, we realize your children may still be hesitant to take a trip to the dentist. To acclimate them to the idea of receiving dental care before their arrival, we recommend doing the following:
- Simply talking about what will happen at the dentist can go a long way in making a trip to our children's dentistry office a good experience. Sit down with your children a few days before and let them know about what will happen when you bring them to our office.
- Even though filling cavities is a painless experience for most children, many can still struggle with it. To prevent cavities, make sure you're brushing and flossing your children's teeth, or helping them take care of these tasks if they're older.
- You should also make an effort to bring your children to our office for routine dental check-ups on a routine basis. This will help them feel more at ease with going to the dentist, especially as the process becomes more familiar.
Don't hesitate to let us know if your children have struggled with going to the dentist in the past. Our role is to make the experience a positive one with our friendly environment and compassionate staff members. Ultimately, we want to make coming to the dentist a lifelong habit, and that starts with regular trips to our dental office!
Schedule Your Appointment Today
We offer weekend and evening hours, as well as emergency services in children's dentistry, since kids have busy after-school schedules and don't always choose the best times of day to get hurt and need a tooth checked. Children's dentistry is important to us, and we work hard to make sure our youngest patients feel as important and included as our other patients. We will take the time to answer questions– both yours and theirs! Contact us today at Amberwood Dental Centre for a children's dentistry appointment.
At Amberwood Dental Centre, we offer high-quality children's dentistry services for residents of Newmarket, Aurora, Richmond Hill, Holland Landing, and Mount Albert, Ontario.

- iranscamAsked on August 02, 2016 at 04:08 PM
Currently, my form's background page is completely transparent so I can view the background image I'd already set in place. The actual form itself uses a background image of the lightly-shaded company logo with white filling in the remaining space. Is there a way to alter the opacity of form with the background image still in place? The rest of my site features semi-transparent grayish boxes floating over a consistent background image on the page, and I'd like to keep this form consistent with that theme.
I've included an example of an identical feature, as well as how my form currently looks on my site. I'd like to get that grayed-out transparent-ish effect on the form's background image.Page URL:
- victorAnswered on August 02, 2016 at 06:05 PM
You can't really change the opacity of the form it self, but if you have a transparent background you can modify the opacity of the fields using the following code
.form-textbox, .form-textarea {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;
The first three digits allow you to select the color of the field, while the 4th enables you to adjust the opacity.
Please let us know if that helps.

It's kind of funny that I'm today's entry is about the flowers I planted earlier this week, because it might be going down to 30 degrees tonight and I have to bring the plants in. *sigh* Oh, North Country. This is also why I do container gardens.
I decided to go with a red-orange-yellow color scheme this year. Usually, I go with pink-purple-blue, but I went something more gender neutral since John is home, haha. I bought them from Walmart on Monday and planted them while The Munchkin was in hourly care. It was such a gorgeous day, and it was awesome to be outside doing something besides going to the playground. I've been wanting to plant flowers for a while now, but didn't feel confident that the cold would stay away until earlier this week. Irony!
For my birthday after The Munchkin was born, John got me this yard sign with our little family on it. I need to get another little boy now, but I don't know who makes it. 🙁 The company name isn't on it anymore. Does anyone recognize it? Please let me know if you know where I can get more people for it. Thanks!
I had some extra flowers left over, so I planted them in the pot out in the back by the garbage cans. This pot originally came to live there because it doesn't match the blue pots on the front porch and looked silly all alone in the back yard. So I stuck it in the back of the house because it had also filled with mud and kind of smelled. Well, I dug out all of that stinky mud and planted the flowers. Much improved! Pansies for the Panzers. I still have some left over, actually, but I'm out of pots…maybe I'll just plant them in the ground out front?.
Speaking of out front, I also put a couple of little solar powered globes at the end of the walkway. I haven't actually checked them out at night to see if they work though, haha. Peeking out the window right now, they don't appear to…but it could be that the BRIGHT FREAKING STREET LIGHT right outside of out house is making them think that it's still day time. Seriously, those lights are horribly bright.
Most of the flowers don't quite stick out of the pots…I guess I didn't add enough dirt, but didn't notice until I had finished planting them all and ran out of dirt. Hopefully they'll keep growing taller and look pretty from the street? Right now you can only see them if you're at the door, heh. Is there a color thumb that's in between a green one and a black one? That's the color I have.

6TB helium filled hard drives are the biggest consumer storage drives available on the market right now, with both Seagate and Western Digital offering products in this category. Seagate are still opting for a traditional build on their drives, but the Western Digital HGST drives are hermetically sealed with a helium environment to reduce friction on their drives. Regardless of their methods, both companies are already pushing the limits again for the next generation of mechanical and SSD drives.
Seagate are already pushing for 10TB drives, and have stated in their recent quarterly conference call that they've already delivered shipments of 8TB HDD units to customers for cloud storage and other high capacity applications.
This means that we should see 8TB hitting enterprise markets by 2015 and I expect the more consumer friendly end of the market towards the end of 2015 and start of 2016 – by which time it is expected that 10TB+ drives will be deploying to cloud servers and other applications, much like they're currently doing with the 8TB drives.
Thank you Forbes for providing us with this information.

Then And Now Series : Madonna
I shot these two photos nearly a of a quarter of a century apart. I remember when Madonna was the hottest female in pop when I was a teen in '85…and I am not just talking about her music. Her dazzling face and body graced the cover of just about every magazine on every news-stand in the world. Now, 23 years later, she is even more dazzling.
I was lucky enough to sneak a handful of timeless photos during her infamous Virgin Tour in 1985. And just earlier this month, I had the privilege to be officially approved to shoot Madonna's Sticky And Sweet Tour when it rolled through Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
Some things just get better with time…these photos are the living proof.
One Response to "Then And Now Series : Madonna"
hi . you are right . some things gets better with time . that is the queen madonna . as a fan for nearly 23 years now . i can tell you that madonna got the power of ruling things and the power of keeping on . thanks for sharing your lovely pics with us .

Out-of-School Youth
For the purposes of the MEP, the Department considers the term "out-of-school youth" to mean children through age 21 who are entitled to a free public education in the State and who meet the definition of a "migratory child," but who are not currently enrolled in a K-12 institution. This term could include students who have dropped out of school, youth who are working on a high school equivalency diploma (HSED) outside of a K-12 institution, and youth who are "here to work" only. Enrollment in school is not a condition affecting eligibility for the MEP. Therefore, out-of-school youth who meet the definition of a "migratory child" are eligible for the MEP.

For the first time in 14 years at least, the auto sales of China had been slower than the growth in the U.S. China's sales became sluggish in 2011 after the government's stimulus measures ended and as the country's economic growth indicated signs of easing. The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said that the total vehicle sales, including cars, trucks and buses, increased by 2.5% to 18.5 million when compared with the 3% median estimate of the five analysts that Bloomberg surveyed. The industry group said that China is still the biggest vehicle market in the world for the third consecutive year.
It is projected to have an 8% growth in demand this year. The rate of delivery is slower compared to the 32% growth in 2010, after China ended a two-year package of tax breaks and rebates that is partially credited for making China outperform the U.S. Sales also suffered due to higher interest rates and restrictions on new vehicles in Beijing as well as interruptions in the supply that pushed Honda Motor Co. to record the first time that sales dropped in China.
Jenny Gu, an analyst at industry researcher LMC Automotive in Shanghai, said that China's auto sales growth won't get anywhere close to the figure attained in the last two years as it gets into a pace that's more sustainable. The government incentives had raised sales during the last few years. The automakers' association said that passenger-car sales increased by 5.2% to 14.5 million, compared to the 33% growth reached in 2010. Meanwhile, 4.03 million units were sold in its commercial vehicle segment, including buses and trucks. This stands for a 6.3% decrease.
Audi A6 continues to be a best seller in China! The new Audi A6 is designed with its side dominated by how the hard and precise lines interact with the soft surfaces. There is a tornado line that is under the edge of the window and goes through the whole side before shaping to be a more pronounced shaded edge. This allows it to give the shoulders of the body that needed strength. There is also a dynamic line that is positioned just on top of the side sills which go slightly upward. Meanwhile the area around the windows is highlighted with a high-gloss package.
Finally, one can see that when compared to the greenhouse, the body of the A6, made of sheet metal, is around two times as tall, a signature of the brand. The new A6 brings with it an athletic elegance considering how the sweeping roofline, short overhangs, and long engine hood, come together in harmony. Unlike the previous model, the new A6 is shorter with overall length of 16.14 feet (4.92 meters) but is wider at 6.14 feet (1.87 meters). It is also lower with a height of 4.79 feet (1.46 meters). Finally, with respect to the wheelbase, the one in the new A6 is larger measuring 9.55 feet (2.91 meters). As mentioned earlier, on the side runs an elegant line which ends in the tail end where a spoiler edge, though subtle, has been placed.
Since the A6 is an Audi vehicle, the surfaces of its tail end come in a three-dimensional shape. The two-part tail lights meanwhile come with a style that mirrors the headlights and its trapezoid shape. For the exhaust system, the A6 has a pair of round and large tailpipes which have a diffuser insert in matt black. On the front section, the single-frame grille, though large, is placed in a low position.
The grille is painted in high-gloss black and has the beveled upper corners combining cleanly with the sculptured front end. With the louvers being positioned horizontally, it helps highlight not just the low and wide air intakes but the width of the A6 in general. The light pattern being displayed by the new A6 is also amazing as the xenon lights and LED headlights in the front plus the LED tail lights result in a three-dimensional effect.
On the rear section, the lighting system comes out with a visually continuous band by forming a U-shaped curve. Meanwhile there are incandescent lamps that help light the fog lights and in the rear and the back-up lights. The turn signal lights meanwhile form a strip that goes throughout the model's upper edge.
For customers who want the A6 to have a more athletic appearance, Audi will be making available an S line exterior package which includes a diffuser inserts, grills on its air intakes, and more pronounced bumpers. Both the door sills and the fenders will have the S line badge. Meanwhile the sill panels will have the same color as that of the body, the front spoiler's center edge and diffuser will be in gray.

Self-Healing Cities: Using IoT for Infrastructure Repair
Photo: Melanie McMullen
The rise of megacities such as Tokyo and Delhi, India, are quickly becoming the new reality across the globe. According to a new urban population report from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, 80 percent of cities worldwide are showing signs of fragility. The report notes that because cities such as London, San Francisco and New York City are engines of global economic growth, they are at a tipping point and set to be transformed by disruptive technology such as broadband, 5G, sensors, IoT, Big Data, cloud and AI.
Officials in these megacities face increasing pressure to repair and beautify cities through financially and physically sustainable mechanisms. Self-healing cities could be the technological solution that addresses the concerns associated with the rise of global megacities and other densely populated urban cores.
The self-healing city concept, a five-year project funded by the UK's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), has been jumpstarted by Rob Richardson and Phillip Purnell, two academics at the University of Leeds in the UK, as well as local technology firms. Additional partners for the project include local city councils, industrial representatives and academics from University of Birmingham and University of Southampton.
The group envisions an urban landscape where robots with sensors can "identify, diagnose and repair street-works through minimally invasive techniques" to meet the UK's Great Challenge of zero disruption from street works by 2050. Theoretically, a robot would be able to address an infrastructure problem as soon as a report of a problem has been noted.
According to a report in the Institute of Making, Richardson says that robot-run repairs would "increase overall precision level and drastically decrease the amount of disruptions to daily commutes, rush hour and other high traffic times for these self-healing cities."
The IoT Patch Team
Specifically, the project is focused on developing three case study concepts that will help planners create a sustainable, efficient self-healing city. Those include:
● Perch and repair. Drones will perform minor repairs, including remote maintenance and street light modernization.
● Perceive and patch. Groups of autonomous flying vehicles will perform inspections, run diagnostics and prevent and repair highway issues, such as potholes.
● Fire and forget. Various task-oriented robots will operate for an indefinite amount of time via live utility pipes. These hybrid robots can conduct inspections, metering, reporting and repairs. In terms of size, these robots will range from as small as the average worm or insect to as large as birds.
As part of this project, the Institute of Making will research materials and 3D-printing technologies for minimally invasive sensing, maintenance and repair of city infrastructure. This includes assessing non-conventional materials for additive manufacturing that may be suitable in 3D repair of infrastructure and mechanical testing of materials for 3D printing, scaffolds and inserts.
Robotic Repairs
Partners of the project have noted that the use of robots to create self-healing cities will have many positive effects on communities, which include:
● Increase in overall well-being, happiness, health and economic success of people who live in these cities, due to a decrease in impact of manmade infrastructure on these natural systems.
● Increase in innovative insights and techniques employed by UK researchers in urban planning and architecture, by researching sensing and automated repairs.
● Increase in types of technology that can autonomously prevent, detect and diagnose problems with old and new infrastructure.
Smart Materials
Self-healing cities will go beyond drones and innovative robots. Constructionists would also incorporate different types of resilient materials for buildings and other types of infrastructure within these urban centers. These materials include self-healing concrete that contain bacteria capable of repairing cracks and holes. The water-activated bacteria eat food within the concrete mix and patch up breaks and ridges within the building material. Similarly, researchers at Cambridge are currently looking into how a combination of bones and eggshells can be a substitute for steel and concrete.
These alternative forms of materials can be a valuable antidote to the increasing risk of infrastructural impact of natural disasters, since they provide a unique form of structure and resistance to external damages.

Life in the Pacific of the 1700s - (ENGLISH)
This substantial documentation of the past and present Pacific Islands was published to accompany an exhibition at Honolulu Academy of Arts which then moved on to Canberra, Australia, where it is presently on display. Captain James Cook's three journeys to the Pacific (1768–1779) proved to be a valuable resource to the world beyond his explorative purpose. On his journeys he both traded and received gifts of works produced before the islanders had any contact with Europeans, and this compilation contains more than 350 artifacts that he brought home as part of his legacy, which eventually came to rest in the German city of Göttingen. Volume 1 contains the collection, illustrated mostly with one image per page. The bulk of the collection is utilitarian objects such as weapons and tools for everyday use, jewelry and ornaments, clothing, etc. The volume is well organized in its division both of regions and of the different purposes of the artifacts. Volume 2 offers essays on the Pacific Islands written from Western perspectives. It also includes detailed descriptions of the artifacts featured in volume 1. Volume 3 is a testament to the identity of the indigenous islanders and includes their accounts of traditional stories, legends, and poetry, providing insight into the identity that is so important to both the society and the individual. The three volumes truly compliment each other and allow considerable perspective on the Pacific Islands, past and present. An article on the exhibition and its background by Stephen Little can be found in the Spring 2006 issue of TRIBAL Magazine.
Links to the Past: The Work of Early Hawaiian Artisans - (ENGLISH)
Links to the Past reunites for the first time more than a thousand-eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Hawaiian artifacts from over seventy institutions and collections worldwide. The book is divided into twenty-one sections (wooden bowls, gourds, stone vessels, etc.), each introduced with color photographs, quotes from contemporary sources, and brief historical and technical information. These are followed by line drawings (more than 1,400 in all) based on actual artifacts or photographs and drawn to scale within each object category. Together they support and enhance learning about object shapes, patterns, sizes, and, in some cases, changes over time. Accurate and detailed illustrations reproduce gourd, basket, and mat patterns—now faded and almost invisible on the objects themselves—as clearly and vibrantly as when they were first created. Links to the Past is unique in bringing together hundreds of traditional Hawaiian objects into one publication. In the case of fans, helmets, and patterned water gourds, almost every known artifact is represented. Numerous pieces presented here have rarely or never been seen in print. Sadly, while meticulous and accurate, the drawings do little to express the vibrancy and immediacy of Hawaiian art. This deficiency is doubtless less the author's fault than that of the protective copyright practices of many museums. Nevertheless, the book will prove invaluable to those involved in the study and creation of Pacific art and visual culture as well as readers interested in early cultural exchange and pattern and design among indigenous cultures.

Lords of Creation The Origins of Sacred Maya Kingship - (ENGLISH)
With a cover as intriguing as its contents, this book jumps right out at you. Mayan urban societies in what is today southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and western Honduras, 2,000 years ago developed a strong system of sacred kingship that allowed the culture to develop power and stability. This book delves into the ancient customs and rituals of the Maya, and also follows the developmental patterns that have led to the present-day inhabitants of the region. Informatively and aesthetically, this book offers insight into rituals and belief systems, and invites a deeper and broader understanding of important aspects of Mayan life. Fully illustrated with masterpiece after masterpiece, this book expands knowledge and sparks interest for this pivotal culture. Lords of Creation is published in conjunction with the traveling exhibition of the same name, currently at the Dallas Museum of Art through May 7, 2006, and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City from June 11–September 6, 2006.
Lower Congo Whistles - ()
Are musical instruments decorated with miniature figures or abstract designs utilitarian objects or are they sculptures that produce sound? This question is particularly relevant to the whistles of the Lower Congo because so much importance is attached to their form. They are composed of two elements: a small wooden sculpture and an antelope horn, nshia, the actual whistle that is either embedded into the sculpture by its tip or bound together with fiber cordage. These objects are testaments to the creative talents of the Bakongo artists who are dispersed across a vast area, which includes the enclave of Cabinda in the south western part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and northern Angola. These interesting works, which were used in various contexts and have been long and avidly sought after by Western collectors, are now the subject of a monograph for the first time. The origins of the project lie in the aesthetic eye of art dealer Alain Lecomte, who, with the collaboration of Raoul Lehuard, is presenting a revised edition of the standard text on the subject by Swedish musicologist and former director of the Stockholm Museum of Ethnography, Bertil Söderberg. This originally appeared in 1975 in issue 9 of Arts d'Afrique Noire. Lecomte does not merely update the text. He also presents the results of his work to create an inventory of this type of whistle. Photographs of the objects, many of which have the advantage of being reproduced actual size, include examples from private collections as well as from museums such as the Musée du Quai Branly, the Musée d'Angoulême, and the Musée d'Art Moderne de Troyes in France, and the Musée Royal d'Afrique Centrale in Belgium.
L'Allée des Rois - (FRENCH)
This book is a gallery of fifty-three portraits, each a full- page illustration, of the principal traditional chiefs of Burkina Faso. These include the Mossi Emperor Mogho Naba Ban Oogo, Mossi ministers and kings, and chiefs of the Lobi, Fulani, Dagara, Gan, Senufo, Bobo, Gouin, Marka, Samo, Bisa, Gurma, and Gurunshi. Photographed in their traditional ceremonial attire and holding the objects that mark their rank, the wisdom— and often the humility—of these leaders is plainly evident in these sensitive portraits. In his introduction to the book, Duniwangada Haruna Ouédrago, a retired government administrator from Burkina Faso, explains the organization of traditional leadership in that country. At the end of the book, each portrait is reproduced again in a smaller version, accompanied by proverbs in the local language, also translated into French, all of which relate to the Zinga Naba of Noaka, most important of the Mossi fetishes: "Vine sap cannot be mother's milk to an orphan." Realized between January and August 2004 by Belgian photographer Jean-Dominique Burton, this project was produced by the Belgian company Altitude Graphic, with the support of the French Community of Belgium and the Burkinabe government. The images were exhibited in large format at the Tenth Francophone Summit Meeting in Ouagadougou.
L'Amazonie disparue, Indiens et explorateurs 1825-1930 - (FRENCH)
Toward the end of the nineteenth century, dozens of European expeditions assaulted the Amazonian forest. In the name of the advantages of progress, explorers charted the thousands of Amazon tributaries, identified "unknown" plant and animal species, and encountered Indian tribes that no one in Europe had suspected existed. This epic exploration is examined by the author, a specialist in contemporary history, in this richly illustrated book, full of period photographs, sketches and maps, drawn from the archives of libraries and ethnographic museums. With contributions by novelist Michel Braudeau, ethnologist Patrick Menget, scholar Séverine Charon, and journalist Tinka Kemptner, the book clearly depicts the insanities and atrocities that accompanied the conquest of the "green continent" at the beginning of the twentieth century. These include the pacification of hostile tribes in order to lay 5,000 kilometers of phone line, the West's desperate need for rubber, the enslavement of Indian populations, and the construction of a railroad, of which it is said that the laying of each tie cost a human life. Amazonian Indians are still fighting today to preserve their traditional cultures and to stave off the destruction that modern civilization threatens them with.
L'art aborigène - (FRENCH)
For more than 40,000 years, Australian Aborigines have produced art that both reflects the forces of creation of the Dream Time and acts as their primary means of expression of identity. The first chapter of this work discusses the history of the colonization of the island-continent and the Western discovery of Aboriginal art. The author then goes on to analyze the artistic output with a thematic approach. From rock art to contemporary aboriginal art, the author thoroughly examines the relations of art to religion and the Dream Time, the mythical epic of the ancestors. He also discusses the aesthetics and the rituals associated with art and the role it plays as a means of survival in contemporary aboriginal society. The goal of the Art&Idées series is to present and place the world's art, from prehistory through present times, within its cultural and ideological context. Howard Morphy, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University College of London and Dean of the Council for Australian Research at the University of Canberra, is among the world's leading experts in Aboriginal art and is the author of numerous reference works on tribal Australian art.
L'Art Africain - (FRENCH)
First published in 1988, this monumental work today appears slightly dated but is still of considerable interest. Twenty years ago, authors Jacques Kerchache, Jean-Louis Paudrat, Lucien Stéphan, and Françoise Stoullig-Martin sought to provide the first truly comprehensive work on African art in Art et Grandes Civilisations (Art and Great Civilizations), published by Citadelles & Mazenod. The volume has now reappeared, reworked and enhanced with around a hundred pieces, predominantly from the collection of the Musée du Quai Branly, many of which are well known and have already been repeatedly published. African objects are presented here in contrast with one another, highlighting both their similarities and differences. Straddling the border between a weighty piece of research and a beautiful photo album, this book remains an important reference work in the field of African art.
L'Art Colon - (FRENCH)
An African art form that has long been neglected because it has been considered anecdotal or even decadent is what is commonly called "colonial art." This is an art style that is marked by influences from the European world, both from an iconographic point of view and in terms of materials and manufacturing techniques. The art owes its existence to the demand generated by expatriates in Côte d'Ivoire in the 1970s for keepsakes and mementos of their African experience. While certainly syncretic, this art can be interpreted as an adaptation of traditional art made to ensure its survival. Denise and Michel Meynet have put together the playful and intriguing collection of the colonial art that this book is about. Between its covers, they examine the objects from various perspectives, without prejudice and in such a way that the originality of these sculptures might at last be recognized and celebrated.

Why I travel
09 March 2013
I travel very much for the same reasons as Professor Santayana: to escape 'into open solitudes'. I have this rather primordial desire to be where few people have been and where I can be by myself. It was for this reason that for most of my life as a traveller I went alone. The late and much lamented Saneeya Hussain, my friend and first editor at the Star, used to call me Lone Wolf. I have to use the professor's words again to explain the urge to travel alone: 'running some pure hazard'. There is a great thrill in it. This is a thrill that tingles up and down the spine. Imagine a walk in pre-dawn darkness in Thar Desert or somewhere in the foothills of the Khirthar Mountains – both places where the infamous krait of the viper family, hardly noticeable because of its sandy colouration – lurks under the bushes and stones. If you are alone and bitten, there is no chance of survival. The poison attacks the nervous system and one dies within minutes.
There is also the 'taste of hardship' that Allama Iqbal has the parent shaheen telling the shaheen child: 'sakht koshi say hai talkh e zndagani angbeen.'
But really the fundamental reason is to see what others before have seen. It has happened on countless occasions when walking in lonely places I have imagine how it would have been long before our time. I have a very wild imagination (I am not a spiritual person) and I even start to see people. This is not a physical presence, I just see, imagine would be a better word. And that is the purpose of all my explorations.

When you prepare your house for selling, you want to create the dream ambiance around it. In order to do that, you must make clients picture the life they would have there. If you had trouble selling your house in the past year, these property marketing tips will get you going. In case you still can't sell it after all the staging tips you find here, you should learn how to find a cash buyer to purchase your house quickly. This is the best alternative if the house doesn't have the greatest potential to be sold. First of all, make sure you try these style-up measures:
Fresh paint is a must
Start by changing the color palette. This small change will make a huge difference when it comes to increasing a house's value before selling it. In fact, all you have to do is choose neutral color palettes and the ambiance in the house will instantly be renewed. Clients prefer this fresh look when they view a house, so make sure to invest time and some resources in this one step.
Invite natural light in
As mentioned before, the ambiance must be perfect when clients are interested in viewing your house. For this, you must find ways to invite natural light in the house. Natural light makes the place more welcoming and warmer, which is exactly what most people look for in a property. See if you can play with mirrors as well – they make the rooms look bigger and brighter, which is a style-up trick you can't miss.
Transform the kitchen
The kitchen is the central point of the house. Every person who visits the house will take a second look at the kitchen. Make sure to renovate it before selling, even though it might be a costly change. The value of the house will be increased tremendously, and that is surely worth it in the long run. If you want to sell the house very fast, look up We Buy Houses Cash and see if you can arrange something for a decent offer.
Dress your windows
Investing in quality curtains is a must, as they offer the house's interior design a luxurious touch. The more prepared the house seems for immediately moving in, the higher the chances to sell it fast. Pay attention to all the windows in the house, clean them and embellish them with curtains or invest in wooden blinds. During the house view, don't forget to bring natural light in, as presented previously.
It's quite obvious that clutter doesn't have a role in selling a house. Hire a professional team to clean the space perfectly or take your time to clean it yourself. No matter what option you choose, remember that uncluttered houses are attractive to buyers, even though the other details might not be on point. Let the buyers enjoy the experience of viewing the house at its fullest.

Aces Ballpark is a baseball venue located in Reno, Nevada, and the home of the Triple-A Reno Aces in the MiLB Pacific Coast League. Aces Ballpark is located next to the Truckee River and is the centerpiece of a planned downtown Reno redevelopment effort, named the Freight House District.
The drive to build a stadium in the Reno-Sparks area began in 2002, with Sierra Nevada Baseball's purchase of land near the Sparks Marina. In 2003, Nevada state Legislature passed a Washoe county rental car tax surcharge to partially finance the new stadium. However, Sierra Nevada Baseball's plans fell through when they were unable to secure the private financing portion of construction, as well as the cost to purchase and relocate a Triple-A team.
In 2007, SK Baseball stepped in and proposed a new stadium plan, redeveloping an eastern portion of downtown Reno. They entered into an agreement with the county in May 2007, secured financing, and bought the Tucson Sidewinders with the intent of moving them to Reno by the 2009 season.
Ground was broken on February 25, 2008, for what was tentatively called Sierra Nevada Stadium. It was later renamed Aces Ballpark once the Reno Aces were named. The stadium was constructed on an accelerated schedule, with only 1 year, 50 days between breaking ground and opening day.
On Friday, April 17, 2009, the Reno Aces played their first home game in Aces Stadium, to an over-capacity crowd of 9,167. They beat the Salt Lake Bees by a score of 11–1.
Aces Ballpark has an official capacity of 9,100, with 6,500 fixed individual stadium seats, and the rest through general admission. The park has a berm beyond right field, and has standing room surrounding the entire field. In addition, there are two "party zones" with picnic table seating, 22 luxury skyboxes, a 150-person club suite, and two 15-person luxury dugout suites located immediately behind home plate. Due to the flexibility of party zones, skyboxes and large general admission areas, game attendance can regularly be above the official stadium capacity. Four concession stands are staggered throughout the stands. Great Basin Beer is served on premises.
Aces Ballpark has a very deep field, 339 ft (103.3 m) at its shallowest point and 424 ft (128.9 m) at its deepest point. Therefore, despite Reno's high elevation, home runs are less likely to occur, and line drive triples are more likely. Trent Oeltjen hit the park's first triple on opening night, but there were no home runs. The next night, Josh Whitesell hit the park's first home run in the bottom of the 1st inning, and went on to hit the park's first grand slam in the bottom of the 7th inning.
Aces Ballpark has no parking, though a 9-story privately owned parking garage (which is currently charging a flat rate of $10) is located immediately behind the stadium. Additionally, downtown Reno casinos have many parking garages available within walking distance of the stadium.
Freight House District
On September 15, 2009, construction began on phase 2 of the stadium, the Freight House District. The grand opening coincided with opening day of the Reno Aces 2010 season.

The following appeared in the September 2000 issue of Rock & Rap Confidential.
This article also appears on riffage.com:
Is It Stealing or "Fair Use"?
In his song "Pablo Picasso," Jonathan Richman recites a litany of things that Pablo could get away with (and Jonathan couldn't) because he was the coolest person in the universe and drove an El Dorado.
If Picasso were working today, he would lose his privileges and be labeled a thief. Picasso practiced the art of expropriation. His collages contained work he didn't draw or paint -- stuff you could say he sampled. They even included trademarked, copyrighted images from bottles of booze and cigarette packages.
Anyhow, that's how we treat people who do the same stuff with music now. Which resulted in a dilemma for the folks in the Droplift Project. Their project is a CD featuring the work of 29 sound collage artists -- people you've never heard of like Tim Maloney, Turntable Trainwreck, Project Data Control and EMP-T, working with bits picked up from TV shows, radio broadcasts and records, among other things. The collagists tweak these bits, sometimes adding noises they've made themselves using instruments, sometimes just playing with sound-altering devices like samplers.
Although the best of these collages are fascinating, it's not exactly the most commercial genre, so the Droplift gang decided to distribute their CD themselves. But record stores refused to stock it, fearing they'd get busted for copyright violations.
See, there is a concept called "fair use" in the copyright law, which lets artists expropriate bits and pieces of previous creations so long as what they're doing results in a distinctively different work. But the record industry cartel, along with other large-scale purveyors of what is revoltingly known as "intellectual property," doesn't like fair use, because it doesn't make them any money. So they've constructively abolished fair use by having their lawyers insist on payment for every James Brown wheeze and P-Funk sneeze. Artists can only resist to the extent of their own ability to fund a lawsuit. Mostly, they cough up.
But the artists on Droplift don't have the economic clout of even a baby gangsta rapper. Several years ago, the great audio collagists, Negativland, were nearly driven out of business when U2 and Island Records pursued them for "uncleared samples." So what could the Droplift gang do?
Because they are creative geniuses, they figured it out. They took discs into stores and sneaked them onto the shelves. They could even decide which area to file them under. Should it be hip-hop for the beat? Electronic music for the tweaks? Avant-garde for the process? Rock & roll for the attitude? D for Droplift? P for Project? How about all of the above?
Of course, when shoppers tried to buy a Droplift disc, commercial havoc ensued. How much could the store charge for a record it might not even own and which could be a lawsuit in the making at any price? Mostly, the clerks asked the managers and the managers said, "Just let 'em take if they want it," and sent the stock boy to see if he could figure out where the pranksters had put the rest of the contraband.
In 1912, Pablo Picasso nearly was arrested for possession of two stolen Iberian sculptures. His pal Apollinaire took the fall without ratting on his pal. If this anti-shoplift movement catches on, will the first person the FBI's anti-piracy division arrests on behalf of the Recording Industry Assn. of America (RIAA), be so loyal?

Top 10 Things I Don't Understand About Overly Religious Nominal Christians
I plan on writing a few 'top ten' lists over the next few weeks. Maybe they will stir some thoughts on important spiritual issues. Some will hopefully be hysterical. Some will be serious. I'll try to squeeze a little of both into each…
Here are the top ten things that after 38 years of church attendance and 20 years of pastoring churches… I still don't understand about many overly religious nominal church folk.
Remember, my attempt is to be slightly funny…
So take this with tongue in cheek…
10. How easy it is for most to separate themselves from the sacrifices required to help the church be successful in spreading the gospel.
9. Why do you feel that your attendance in and of itself is a blessing to the rest of the church.
8. Why… instead of seeking the most biblical or even missionally helpful church, do you look for the church that will bring the most benefit to you personally.
7. Why is forgiveness so rare in your life?
6. Why so many see volunteerism as a sacrifice instead of enjoying acts of service.
5. How are you able to avoid noticing the plight of the lost world around you?
4. Why so many people who don't read Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic are so opinionated about specifically using the King James Bible.
3. How are you able to continue making choices that hurt others without any remorse, sorrow or life change?
2. Why do you listen to people who make a lifestyle out of griping and complaining?
1. Ill probably never understand why most nominal, overly religious people never personally express gratitude to the hard working ad committed church folk who serve faithfully to bless the church and the community.
Ok, so maybe a little funny. Sadly, it's quite true for many as well. So let's all consider wether or not any of this fits us. And then make positive changes accordingly…

Mount Artos is a mountain volcano at an elevation of 3.225m (10,580ft) above the sea level, located in Van Province in eastern Turkey. It's one of the highest roads of Europe.
The road to the summit is gravel, bumpy and rocky. 4x4 required. It's one of the highest roads of the country. This steep road can be closed anytime due to snow and ice. It's usually impassable from September to May. From Mt Artos you will have an amazing over the Lake of Van.

The evenings are turning darker and there's an undeniable chill in the air, which can only mean one thing: party season is once again upon us. Gentlemen, it's time to send off those RSVPs and polish your party shoes, Ted is here and he's truly surpassed himself with this year's collection of finery, with Christmas party wear and NYE outfit ideas galore. Whether it's a work social or black tie soirée, get in the mood for dancing and prepare to win that best-dressed crown – don't forget your comb…...Read MoreShow Less Shop Partywear
Eye of the Tiger
The Lowdown:
Parties are all about the mingling, so button up Ted's CHAT shirt for a guaranteed talking point – if you're stuck with what to wear to a company Christmas party, this is the piece for you. Florals and tigers combine in this eye-catching pattern, and you can breathe easy if things move into the dancefloor; its cotton composition means you'll stay cool and comfortable while you bust a move (or ten).
Strike a Cord
The Lowdown:
Versatile, warm and undeniably dapper, YORK is the party-goer's staple when it comes to a Christmas night out outfit. Corduroy brings a cosy touch to this smart piece, and if you look closely you'll notice subtle checked detailing all over – with Ted's signature in-built pocket square, lapel pin and luxurious printed lining, it's perfect for Christmas party clothes right through to your New Year's Eve outfit.
Dinner Plans
The Lowdown:
Of all the Christmas party looks, Ted believes every gentleman needs a smart dinner jacket in their repertoire, and ANTONJ was made to rise to every occasion, bash and shindig. Crafted from fine wool with contrasting detail at the lapels and pockets and an eye-catching printed lining, guarantee your status as best dressed guest at every black tie event this season (and perhaps the casual ones too…).
Blazer of Glory
The Lowdown:
Feel that? It's party material. The season for velvet is here, and Ted has you covered with the rather sumptuous CUOCO blazer, perfect for New Year's Eve party outfits or simply Christmas Day attire. Adorned all over with a sleek paisley print, simply slip it over a smart pair of trousers for a look that exudes dapper decadence, and enjoy those compliments.
The Showstopper
The Lowdown:
If you haven't sent your RSVPs back yet, you'd better do so, and quickly; Ted's DRAPER blazer was made to be shown off at every party you can get your hands on an invitation for. Boasting a shimmering jacquard pattern, go for an all-black ensemble underneath to let this piece do the talking and win the prize for the finest men's Christmas outfit.

Patriotic Necklace & Handmade Couture Gift Box
Create a stylish and patriotic jewelry piece that can be worn all year round. Want to give it as a gift? We've also got the perfect gift box die for you, easily personalized with die-cut letters. (Shhhh…these are all from the Couture Christmas range, but easily work for other holidays too!) – Sara Naumann
For the necklace, you will need:
- Ice Resin 8oz Kit
- Ice Resin Studio Sheet 9″ x 9″
- Metal bezel
- Ball chain
- Washi tape in blue/white pattern and red/white pattern: Doodlebug Washi Tape Candy Stripe would be perfect
- White paper or lightweight cardstock
- Circle punch
- Plastic gloves
- Clear glitter
For the box, you will need:
- Couture by Create and Craft Artistry Box – Multiple Closure Box
- Couture by Create and Craft Christmas Numbers and Letters
- Create and Craft Pack of 50 Satin Board Pastels
- Red and white card
- Pokey tool
- Die-cutting machine
- Silver ribbon
- Red gem
- Foam mounting squares
- Craft glue
Instructions for the necklace:
Remember that resin is permanent, so protect your workspace and, if necessary, your floor, with craft sheets.
1. Place strips of washi tape onto a piece of white paper or lightweight card, alternating the red/white pattern with the blue/white pattern. Use the circle punch to punch out a section.
2. Glue the punched circle inside the metal bezel. Let the glue dry.
3. Place the bezel on a flat, even surface. Tip: I use an old plastic cutting board so I can position the loop of the bezel to hang over the edge, ensuring the bezel is perfectly flat.
4. Mix the resin according to the package instructions and fill the bezel. Sprinkle with clear glitter. Let the piece set. Note: Your piece will be dry in about 8-12 hours; the resin will cure in 3 days. You can work with the piece once it's dry, but don't place it in an airtight container until it's completely cured.
5. Thread the bezel loop with ball chain and cut to your desired length.
Note: Before working with resin, be sure to wear an apron, roll up your sleeves and tie back long hair. Wear latex or latex-free gloves to protect your hands.
Instructions for the box:
1. Die cut the box shape from blue satin card. Fold on the score lines and slip the tab into the closure slot.
2. Wrap with silver ribbon and tie a bow on the top of the box.
3. Die cut U, S, and A from red card. Die cut three tags from white card and glue a letter to each tag. Add a red gem to the S tag and adhere to the box top with foam tape.

Title: SILK ITALIAN TECHNOLOGY FOR INDUSTRIAL BIOMANUFACTURING
Area: 1 – High-Performance Factories
Call topic: 1.2 – Innovative technologies for the carrying-out of components characterized by advanced functional features
Coordinating Institute: ISOF – Institute for Organic Syntheses and Photoreactivity (Bologna)
- ISMN – Institute of nanostructured materials (Bologna)
- IBIMET – Institute for biometeorology (Bologna)
Industrial Interest Group: INNOVHUB-SSI (ISSS) (Milan), Saes Getters – E.T.C. S.r.l (Lainate (MI))
Abstract: Silk fibroin from Bombyx mori cocoon is a promising biomaterial for the development of novel ecosustainable technologies intended for biomedical applications. The general aim of the project is to establish and control the whole-chain underpinning the silk fibroin-based technology, and to promote the up-scaling from the laboratory to industrial scale.
The main scientific objective of SILK.IT is to fabricate silk fibroin-based innovative lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices for fluorescence high throughput optofluidic biodiagnostics. Optically active silk fibroin substrates and devices will be engineered and fabricated starting from the production of the raw-material that will be naturally functionalized by feeding Bombyx mori cocoons with specific dye molecules. The fabrication of silk fibroin-based LOC devices will be a key building block towards establishing a sustainable and process-controlled silk-based bio-manufacturing of the future.
Ideas and solutions:
To reply to the demand of renewable and biodegradable raw materials and innovative environmental friendly manufacturing of the technology of the future, SILK.IT presents an innovative technology based on natural material, silk-fibroin, as main component in advanced optical devices for bio-diagnostics.
Follow up:
The results obtain within the project were the seed for following initiatives at European level focused on biomedical applications based on controller and tunable silk fibroin, produced in loco at CNR.
The results of the project were also presented in regional industrial contest with the partnership of Laboratory MIST E-R which is Laboratory of Industrial Research and Technology Transfer of the High Technology Network of Emilia-Romagna. These contest set the scenario for future implementation and exploitation of the results obtained.

The activity of import-export in Romania can be performed in most cases without any measure of control or supervision. This is a particular aspect of the international commercial liberty principle in Romania.
The importing-exporting of certain goods is however subject of some measures of control, if regarded as a general interest of the national economy. These are exceptions to the general rule, and as a result, if a certain operation is not explicitly categorized as being under supervision, then it is regarded being able to perform freely.
In the cases where measures of control and supervision are imposed, there are 2 types of approvals which can be granted: licenses and other authorizations.
Issuance of licenses
Licenses are granted only to commercial entities headquartered in Romania activating internationally. The request for licenses are to be made for each separate country, foreign partner and tariff position of the merchandise. The Romanian Ministry of Economy and Finance has the attribution to receive requests and grant the licenses.
Other Authorizations
In some cases, internal regulations impose the issuance from public
institutions of other authorizations (different from licenses) for cross-border transit of certain categories of merchandise.
The Romanian legislation requires, in certain special situations, import-export authorizations for commerce with the following type of products: animal and related products; plants and related products; drugs; alimentary and agricultural products; elements of the human body, medical and pharmaceutical products; guns, ammunition, toxic and explosive materials and nuclear products and technologies; waste admitted for import-export, products dangerous for the population and environment; goods part of the national cultural patrimony; tobacco and alcohol; genetically modified organisms; chemical products; precious metals and gems etc.
Granting of the authorization will be refused in the following situations: the entity does fulfil the legal conditions necessary for international commerce, as a sanction to the importer/exporter, the merchandise is subject to control and supervision from the Romanian authorities (or the authorities of the country of destination) and the conditions for the authorization are not fulfilled, the merchandise is forbidden to be imported or exported etc.
