Taiwan is often times left out when visitors map out their epic Asia trip but more people are realizing that this little island is actually an excellent travel destination.
Taiwan has a bit of everything and it's efficient transportation system, low cost of travel, security and kindness of locals are just a few reasons why it's becoming a popular destination.
You can find a great amount of resources online for traveling in Taiwan but there are a few things to know before you go that will help make your trip go a lot smoother.
We spent two months traveling around Taiwan and as a Taiwanese-American with lots of family there, I can give you some insider Taiwan travel tips.

Important Things to Know Before You Go
- What to bring – Read our post on packing for Taiwan for any time of the year
- Taiwan does not take USD, Canadian dollars, euros or any type of foreign money so make sure you exchange it. Banks open at 9 AM and you need your passport to exchange money. Some hotels can also exchange money. Exchange rate is currently 1 USD to 32 New Taiwan Dollar or NT.
- Taiwan uses the same voltage as United States, 110V. If you're coming from Europe or somewhere not 110V, get an adapter.
- Tipping is not part of the culture in Taiwan. In fact when I tried to tip my hairdresser when I got a hair cut, she got offended.
- It is incredibly safe in Taiwan. It is even safe for a woman to walk the streets at midnight because of the many night markets and 24 hour restaurants. But as always, use your common sense.
Getting Around
- If you are lost, don't know which bus to take, or need a ride, call 0800-024-111. It is a toll free 24 hour tourist hotline in Chinese, Japanese and English and they can help you with whatever you need help with. In case of emergency, call 119
- Write down some of the important travel words in Mandarin (traditional) like bathroom, how much, I'm lost, etc. Many city locals speak a degree of English and will help you to the best of their ability but it's good to have the words written down or bring a Mandarin phrasebook. When Yeison was by himself, they didn't hesitate to speak English to him.
- To rent a car, you have to have an international driving permit for the first 30 days you are in the country. You can get one at the American Automobile Association or theMotor Vehicles Offices in Taipei(check requirements). Longer than 30 days you must apply for an extension.
- If you take the public bus in Taiwan, you must have exact change if you don't have a happy card. Tell the driver where you are going and he will tell you how much it is. Write your destination down because most drivers don't speak a lick of English.
- To rent a YouBike, you must have a happy card and register it at the kiosk. Great way to get around Taipei!
- Taxis are pretty cheap in Taiwan but like bus drivers, make sure you write down where you are going (or learn to say it in Mandarin). Make sure they use the meter and buckle your seat belt – they drive a bit crazy!
- The MRT is super easy to use as well as their train system. If you don't have a happy card, you must use the machines to purchase a token each time you use the MRT and train. Find out how we traveled all of Taiwan by train.
Staying in Touch
- If you want a prepaid sim card for your phone, you can go to any phone company office and buy one. All you need is an unlocked phone, your passport and pay in cash. We got a 30 day sim card loaded with 100 TWD for calls and unlimited data for 900 TWD (~$30) from Chunghwa Telecom. Read our full guide to getting a sim card in Taiwan.
- Wi-Fi in Taiwan is easy to find, in fact the island is like one giant hot spot. There are 4,400 free iTaiwan hot spots for foreigners and all they need is a local number to register.
Food and Drink
- Food is very cheap in Taiwan… if you eat local. If you don't like Taiwanese food, be prepared to pay for it because it costs more to eat Western food like pizza, sandwiches or pasta. Eat local and you can spend less than 300 TWD ($9.50) a day per person for all three meals and dessert. Eat something different and you're looking at paying at least 200 TWD ($6.50) per person per meal.
- Taiwan has some of the best food in the world so I highly recommend trying some local dishes. Find out the best dishes to eat in Taiwan.
- If you want to eat something more Western for a cheaper price, look for a brunch or breakfast place in Taiwan. They usually have omelets, hamburgers, sandwiches, hash browns and toast for local prices (50 – 100 TWD).
- Only eating on a budget? Avoid the mall and look for places that sell lunch boxes which are really cheap, usually less than 60 TWD (~$2). You get rice, a meat, vegetables and soup.
- If you are allergic to shellfish/shrimp/seafood, write it down and show your waiter. Yeison is deathly allergic to shrimp which is commonly used in well, almost all their dishes so I made sure to ask every single time we went out to eat if it had shrimp.
- Hotel rooms are more expensive on Saturdays, they can be up to twice as much or more. Sign up for hotel website newsletters for insider deals. I used Hotels.com and Agoda when booking hotels in Taiwan and got great deals.
- If you find yourself in need of a cheap hotel room, look for a motel. Even though most of them are technically love motels, they are actually a good deal if you're without a place to stay. Most are 1000 TWD ($31) a night and some even have a spa and massage chairs.
- Airbnb is getting big in Taiwan so take a look for good deals.
Meeting Other Travelers
- If you're interested in meeting up with other travelers, join the Taiwan travelers Facebook group. There are a lot of people who are looking for people to travel with.
- One of the best place to meet people besides hostels is in the clubs. When I went clubbing on my first trip to Taiwan by myself, I met so many people from all over the world at the night clubs. The clubbing culture in Taiwan is actually fairly healthy and for an introvert who doesn't drink, I had a blast. Some popular ones are Myst, Roxy and Spark. Unfortunately my favorite, Luxy has closed.
Things to do in Taiwan
- Night markets. One of the most popular things to do in Taiwan. Make sure to sample the food, play some games, eat, shop for cheap stuff and oh did I mention eat? Feel free to barter which is common but if you look like a foreigner or "外國人", expect to pay more.
- Hike. Taiwan is mostly covered by mountains with phenomenal hiking. Many of them lead to panoramic views and great spots for the sunrise/sunset. Some of the popular places are Teapot Mountain, Yushan and Beidawushan.
- Eat. I can't stress enough how much amazing food there is to try in Taiwan.
- Hot springs. Taiwan has over 100 hot springs and has one of the greatest concentrations in the world. Best places to go are Beitou and Yangmingshan.
- Drink. Taiwan's Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique was named the best single malt whiskey on earth in 2015 (I've tried it, it is good). Taiwan tea (green, oolong and black) is one of the best in the world and their oolong tea accounts for 20% of the world's production. Taiwan made the list for top 10 best coffee destinations in the world in 2015.
- Shop. Forget the malls, hit the old streets in Taiwan where you can find unique souvenirs and arts and crafts. Read our guide to the old streets in Taiwan.
- Rent a scooter. Once you get to Taiwan, you'll understand why. The scooter culture in Taiwan is insane and it is a great way to see the country!
- Read our post for things to do in Taipei if you're staying primarily in the city.
Top Destinations
- Taipei. As the capital city, there is so much to do in Taipei (don't forget New Taipei). Go shopping, eat, visit the zoo, hike, visit memorial halls and museums, go to the night markets and so much more.
- Taipei 101. The previous ruler of tallest building in the world where visitors can eat, shop and go up to the top for amazing views. Or watch the many protests that occur and learn more about the current political conflicts surrounding Taiwan.
- Hualien. Hualien county holds some of the most beautiful natural landscapes. Taroko National Park and Quingshui Cliff are just a couple favorite spots.
- Sun Moon Lake. This famous lake in Nantou county is the largest body in Taiwan and is one of the most popular tourist destinations due to the shape. The east side of the lake resembles a sun while the west side looks like a moon, hence the name and has spectacular sunrises.
- Kenting National Park. This national park sits in the southern part of the island where visitors can visit the southernmost point. The road through the park offers beautiful scenic viewpoints, surfing, beaches and is a favorite vacation destination for city locals.
- Alishan. A mountainous area of Taiwan, Alishan is known for hiking, stunning mountain views, waterfalls and tea plantations.
- Jiufen. The city with the old street that inspired the movie Spirited Away, Jiufen is the gateway to some of the best hikes on the island.
- Yushan. For hiking lovers, this is a must. Yushan is not only the highest point in Taiwan, but in all of East Asia at 12,966 feet.
My best tip for enjoying these destinations and any other in Taiwan? Get there early. To enjoy these places in peace and quiet, get there early as soon as they open.
Visiting Taiwan
Every person I know who has visited Taiwan always leave with a good impression and love their time there. In fact, something that every single one of them has said to me is that Taiwan is fun. With lots of attractions, cultural sites, outdoor activities and delicious food and drink, Taiwan will make any visitor fall in love with the beautiful island.

Bosque Mexico City
45-story tower development in prime residential neighborhood in Mexico City.
Puerta Bosques is a forward purchase transaction with a highly respected development group in Mexico City. Located on a prime site of the Mexico-Toluca freeway, the project is in one of the city's premier residential and business neighborhoods, close to many multinational companies such as Pfizer, Bain & Company, and Unilever. Residential development in the Bosques submarket is limited due to the scarcity of land, and the majority of the existing residential product consists of single-family homes or larger condo units, making this project an attractive opportunity for Greystar.
Puerta Bosques is a 45-story tower development offering 455 units, with roughly 322,000 square feet of total leasable area. The building is part of a master plan that includes condos and office components with eventual retail and hotel in additional phases. The project will be completed in Q1 2021.

This isn't official but it came from a tweet by HTC's European representative. The roll out is reported to begin with the HTC Desire today in batches due to limited bandwidth.
Last month, we mentioned that HTC Desire, Legend and Wildfire are expected to get Froyo in Q3, so the release is pretty much on time, if it really comes true. Leaked version for the HTC Droid Incredible with HTC Sense had surfaced yesterday which lead us to believe that HTC should have its Android 2.2 Froyo update ready by now.
Let's hope this is not a miscommunication of another HTC Staff. Previously HTC Singapore had mentioned that HTC Legend is not getting Froyo but had deleted that comment after getting substantial attention.

April 4th, 1901
Mrs. E. C. Banks.
As noticed in the Register of last week, Mrs. Banks died suddenly at her home on the night of March 27th. The cause of death was heart failure. She was born upwards of seventy-two years ago, at Nictaux. Her maiden name was Dodge. In 1854 she married E. C. Banks and not long afterwards went with him to Stewiacke to make their home. Here they remained twenty-two years when they came to this county and settled at Waterville. Mrs. Banks was the mother of five children, four of whom survive her.
During a great revival in 1853 under the labors of the late Rev. W. G. Parker, Mrs. Banks united with the Baptist church. Her life since then has borne abundant testimony to the genuineness of her conversion. She has shown the adornment of a meek and quiet spirit; a piety, unobtrusive, but deep. In her home she has ever dispensed a large hospitality, especially to ministers of the Gospel. Her home life has been in many respects ideal. Possessing good conversational powers and a cheerful disposition, she has always been able to make the home circle exceedingly pleasant to family and guests. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Her funeral on Saturday last was largely attended. Her pastor conducted the service and spoke briefly from Rev. 14:13. Revs A. Chipman and E. O. Read also spoke appropriate words. Evangelist Gale and Miss Hall were present and took part in the service. Miss Hall sang two selections with tenderness and power. The interment was at Berwick.
April 4th, 1901
Death of Miss Lizzie Hibbert.
On Friday morning Capt. W. Hibbert was shocked to receive a telegram conveying the sad intelligence that his daughter, Miss Lizzie, had passed away during the night. A letter had been received from her the previous evening, stating that she had secured leave of absence from her duties as a teacher in one of the Yarmouth schools and would be with her parents in a few days to remain for some months. The news of her death under these circumstances was especially startling. The manner of her death was particularly sad. On retiring on Thursday evening she told the lady with whom she boarded that she was suffering from an attack of indigestion. This was not unusual and no thought of anything serious was entertained. In the morning she was found dead in bed, having passed away alone during the night. Capt. and Mrs. Hibbert and Max left by Saturday mornings train for Yarmouth.
Miss Hibbert was thirty-six years of age. She had been for many years a popular and very efficient teacher of one of the primary departments of the schools of Yarmouth, and was also a prominent worker in Methodist church circles. She was well known in Berwick, having usually spent her vacations with her parents since their removal to this town. Sincere sympathy is felt for Capt. Hibbert and family in their bereavement.
The funeral took place on Wednesday, having been postponed from Monday on account of an unusual appearance of the body, which seemed to imply the possibility that life was not extinct.

Charles Krauthammer, the longtime columnist for The Washington Post, said in a statement published on the newspaper's website on Friday that he is battling cancer and has "only a few weeks left to live."
Mr. Krauthammer has been absent from The Post, where he began writing columns in 1984, since August, when he had a cancerous tumor surgically removed.
Despite "a cascade of secondary complications," Mr. Krauthammer, 68, was preparing to return to writing, but recent tests found that the cancer had aggressively returned, he said in the short statement.
"My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live," Mr. Krauthammer wrote. "This is the final verdict. My fight is over."
Mr. Krauthammer, who is also a Fox News commentator, thanked his doctors, caregivers, friends, employers, colleagues, readers and viewers, and sang the virtues of "honest debate and rigorous argument."
"I am grateful to have played a small role in the conversations that have helped guide this extraordinary nation's destiny," he wrote.
He concluded by saying that he had no regrets.
"It was a wonderful life — full and complete with the great loves and great endeavors that make it worth living," wrote Mr. Krauthammer. "I am sad to leave, but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the life that I intended."
In a separate piece titled "Fridays without Charles" — a reference to the timing of Mr. Krauthammer's weekly columns — that was published concurrently, the newspaper's editorial board praised him for writing with "breathtaking range and intelligence and integrity."
"We know we speak for many of you when we say that nothing and no one can replace him," the board wrote. "Charles wrote for the right reasons."
In a statement, Rupert Murdoch, the executive chairman of Fox News, praised Mr. Krauthammer as an "inspiration for all of us at Fox News."
"His always principled stand on the most important issues of our time has been a guiding star in an often turbulent world, a world that has too many superficial thinkers vulnerable to the ebb and flow of fashion, and a world that, unfortunately, has only one Charles Krauthammer," Mr. Murdoch said. "His words, his ideas, his dignity and his integrity will resonate within our society and within me for many, many years to come."
Mr. Krauthammer won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1987 for his columns on domestic issues.
Before his career in writing, Mr. Krauthammer graduated from Harvard Medical School and practiced for three years as a psychiatry resident at Massachusetts General Hospital.
He was a speechwriter for Vice President Walter Mondale in 1980 and helped to "direct planning in psychiatric research for the Carter administration," according to his Washington Post biography.
Mr. Krauthammer was born in New York City.

Hi Godly Play Teachers!Welcome to Faces of Easter VI: Remembering Jesus At the Last Supper, our lesson for April 13.
This Sunday at our church our first - fifth grade choirs will be singing in worship, so our time with most of our kids will be shorter than normal, so I know you'll want to get straight to the story. This is a perfect week to let the children respond to the story by gathering things from the Godly Play materials in the room that they feel help tell the story. I hope you'll be able to jot these down for me, along with their thinking on this, so that I can share it with the parents. I'll also have the following wondering questions for you in case that works better for your class, or if you have time to do both:
Wondering Questions:
1. I wonder what part of the story is your favorite.
2. I wonder what part of the story is the most important.
3.In the parable Jesus taught in the temple about the old woman's offering, I wonder who really gave the most, the old woman or the rich man.
4. When Jesus had the supper with the disciples and broke the bread and shared the wine, I wonder what they thought it meant.
5. I wonder how the disciples felt when the guards took Jesus away.
6. The Bible says that the disciples ran away. I wonder what thoughts were going through their minds.
7. I wonder what thoughts were going through the mind of Jesus.
We'll have some non-choir children who'll have time to respond to the story creatively, so here are some ideas to add to your own:
1. Retell the story in sections. The story can be divided into scenes, with children working on different ones in pairs or individually. These can be hung together in your classroom if you like. Scenes would include the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, Jesus teaching in the temple, an illustration of the parable of the widow's offering, the Last Supper, Jesus praying in the garden, Jesus' arrest.
2. Act out the last supper.
2. Make more ornaments for your Jesus (Easter) tree. Children could make donkeys or palm branches, representations of the widow's offering, bread or chalices of wine, praying hands or a praying Jesus, or bags of money, representing the 30 pieces of silver Judas was paid to betray Jesus.
3. Palm art. Here are directions for palm crosses for older children. You can use green ribbon too.
4. See more ideas of Palm Sunday crafts here.
Enjoy! I hope you have a very meaningful Sunday!

Writing and Solving Equations
To solve an Equation we need to find the values which will fulfill the condition stated in the form of an equation. To find Solutions of equations, one or more variables are expressed as unknowns. The solution is the value of the unknown variable that is true for the equality in the equation. In other words, a solution is such that, when substituted for the unknowns, the equation becomes an identity.
Following are the steps to translate word problems into equations:
1. To find out what the problem is asking to find, read the problem carefully.
2. Assign a variable to the unknown quantity to be found out.
3. Express what the variable represents.
4. Read the problem again and write an equation for the quantities given in the problem.
5. Solve the equation.
6. Answer the question in the given problem.
7. Check the solution.
Hook Questions:
1. What is Algebraic Equations?
2.How do you solve Word Problems in Algebra ?

I have three accounts. i created the other two shortly after realizing, if i was going to start my own corporation, that i needed blueprints if i was ever going to fulfill my ideal corporate mission of logistical support.
I'm still not sure if it's a viable niche market to break into. lol
Never become a CEO. All your ingame profit gets sucked down this blackhole...this maw of cthulhu like proportions. madness.
To make a long story short, i came upon a low sec system about 10 jumps from my main center of operations which was also a great NPC commodity trade hub for electronic parts. That's another story. I'm pretty much out of that business, even though i've had a freighter for over a year or two.
Kourmonen system (near Mynxee's hangout in Amamake) had the good fortune to be a pirate haven. Good fortune because the MuffinFactory [TORY] corp kept all the lazy carebears away, which means great commodity prices and cheap laboratory slots. Of course, then along came Faction Warfare and the muffinmen left in a huff. Luckily, nothing has really changed for prices/lab slots.
Hourly costs for most of the stations there are 8-10isk (that's massively lower than what you'll find in high sec) and wait times i usually find for material efficiency research to be a week on a good day, with copy slots having less than a week wait.
Time is the killer, so 3 accounts = 9 characters = 90 lab slots going at once. It's enabled me to upgrade a portfolio of tech1 BPOs any industry carebear would drool at.
Sadly, i don't have any battlecruiser BPOs to my name yet. I'm torn between a harbinger and a prophecy. Harby for just plain building it for use, or the prophecy for invention purposes. I'm new to invention, but that's yet another story.
When i first started upgrading blueprints i first found myself lost as characters flew between stations to upgrade or 'deliver' blueprints and i started delivering other characters' bpos and forgetting who had to begin more upgrading.
My second attempt had characters focused on one station, which failed because i only had so many blueprints and got lost in the minutae of what blueprint to put where (sometimes the best way to upgrade was to start your ammo/drone bpos first and work your way up to ships.) Not to mention corporate security loopholes made multiple station keeping a nightmare if you wanted to shift blueprints around at times.
My third try at keeping myself sane was to move all the blueprints to one station and make it my HQ (thus securing my BPOs from potential corp thefts)...that worked out okay since i found i really didn't spend the time to check up on my lab jobs that often, so having increased wait times for upgrades really didn't matter that much (besides it was always dirt cheap)
This evolution took about 3 years..i ended up moving the HQ to the bottom station and creating a rather large petition as completed blueprints disappeared during the change-over.
My final (hopefully) iteration happened about 2 years ago when I shifted my HQ to it's current location in Amod and locked down my entire blueprint collection. The irony is that i know the exact date i did this on because CCP decided in it's wisdom to screw up a patch note that fooled me into thinking this was the perfect time to try 'lockdown', and ended up creating a huge petition mess.
Eventually, everything got sorted and it's fine now. All my original blueprints are locked down in 4 of the 5 stations in the system. I now simply fly my labrat characters between stations upgrading as i see fit. I know enough about pvp and pve now that i can make educated decisions on what and how much to upgrade/copy.
It's even at the point where i have my 'mains' researching my newly purchased BPOs at low sec POS labs i have at my deathstars in Fua. i found the temptation of just one basic mobile lab per tower to be low enough that i'm not painting a big bullseye on my towers (i avoid advanced mobile labs, maintenance bays and corporate hangars like the plague)...besides, my idea of POS defense has evolved enough that i should be good enough to deter most folk from even trying for my large towers.
Besides, it's fun to play with Scientific Networking skill finally (i'd avoided it in the past simply to keep me from delivering a 'job' in one kourmonen station, that i wasn't at currently, and then forgetting about it)
One day i hope to start buying BC and above blueprints...i think my short term goal is to get the prototype cloaking device bpo.
Oh, and i find ME 100 on ammo, ME 50 on ships...with PE of 20...to be just fine for my uses. to be honest, i've never even tried figuring out "perfect ME" for my blueprints. Nor have i really looked into what blueprint would be best to manufacture for sale...I would like to research which blueprints need what type of minerals. that would be fun.

Did someone say there was no such thing as the Easter Bunny!?
Pft… I don't know what she is talking about!
Easter is usually filled with lots of candy, chocolate, and other goodies, so I loaded up on a healthy breakfast before heading to Tampa.
I had a bowl of apples and cinnamon oatmeal, with a green egg from yesterday's coloring adventures.
Look what the bunny brought! A GIANT Reese's Egg.
It just wouldn't be Easter without Candy for breakfast. I had a little nibble. 🙂
Upon arriving to Tampa, I was greeted by my family.
Michael, my little brother, was bouncing off the walls after consuming copious amounts of refined sugar…
…My dad showed off his mad skills on the wii guitar…
…and Lexie was her usual silly self.
They make me laugh. I love them! 😀
Let's not forget about Belle!!
Mark came along for the Easter celebration to meet my family. I'm really glad they got along, but what's not to love?!
Seriously… I feel like if he can deal with this…
…he's a keeper! 😀
It was such a gorgeous day outside. There was not a cloud in the sky and the weather was warm. We sat on the porch and munched on some snacks while everyone arrived.
Don't be fooled. I ate this plate times five.
It's always fun to see my family members. Most of my family lives in Tampa, and as I get closer to graduation, I can't really imagine moving too far from them.
As it got closer to dinner time, I was getting annoying with the camera. I seriously think that my family thinks I'm trying to get a job as paparazzi. Sorry, guys!
I was just getting hungry… sheesh.
Dinner was fabulous! I always leave feeling absolutely stuffed to the brim. It's worth it, though. I never deprive myself on Holidays, or ever really.
I had a little of everything. My stepmom is becoming quite a chef!
- honey glazed ham
- squash casserole (made my grandma!)
- mashed potatoes and gravy
- green beans with special seasoning
- citrus salad
- challah bread chunk
After dinner, it was time for the annual egg hunt!
The kids had a blast! I miss Easter egg hunting. It was always so much fun growing up.
By the way, Mark's
mirrors sunglasses make for some awesome photography!
After all the eggs were found, we came inside for some delicious dessert. I had a little bit of everything…
- chocolate chip cookie
- cheesecake/pecan brownie
- devil's food cheesecake (EPIC!)
I am really glad that I went home for Easter, it just wouldn't be the same without my family.
I'm off to get ready for the week ahead! I actually have a little bit of free time tonight, which is so rare. Enjoy your night!
Happy Easter!

Rapid Weight Gain
Rapid Weight Gain: A Common Presentation of Adipose Tissue Disorders
Weight gain has long been assumed to be a consequence of impaired energy balance due to poor feeding habits and low physical activity. We examined 40 patients who were referred for rapid weight gain or difficulty losing weight without obvious endocrine or non-endocrine causes. Most of the subjects also complained of fatigue and chronic pain that localized to the subcutaneous fat tissue. We examined our subjects systematically for subcutaneous adipose tissue accumulation in the upper back, deltoid regions, upper arms, trunk, abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs. We also palpated for lipomas and fat nodules, and assessed abnormal or exaggerated fat distribution in unusual locations. Discrete lipomas in the abdomen, hips, buttocks and upper arms were frequenlty found in patients with rapid weight gain. More than half of our subjects have a painful adipose tissue disorder, adiposis dolorosa, (Dercum's disease), mostly the nodular subtype. Three subjects had bilateral mastectomy because of mastalgia, 2 subjects have sciatic pain from lipoma growth in the spine, and 2 subjects had been hospitalized for panniculitis. The majority of the subjects have concurrent lipoedema, causing hip and thigh pain. History of previous surgery to remove lipomas is common, and tissue removed surgically in 3 subjects revealed angiolipomas. Other subjects who present with rapid weight gain have non-painful multiple symmetric lipomatosis, familial multiple lipomas, or generalized obesity. In conclusion, many subjects who present for rapid weight gain have abnormal lipomatous growth, which needs to be distinguished from generalized obesity. Dercum's disease, or painful adipose tissue disorder, is a generally unrecognized condition that presents as rapid weight gain usually with chronic pain. The etiology of adiposis dolorosa remains to be determined.

As Africa was broadcast on BBC One in the United Kingdom, the six episodes are each an hour in length, comprising the main programme and a 10-minute featurette called Eye to Eye which details the filming of a particular event.
In the United States, Africa was broadcast as a seven-part series on the Discovery Channel from starting from 8 January 2013. While the first five episodes are redubbed in the American version as Forest Whitaker gives narration, the sixth ("Africa: The Future") is left untouched as David Attenborough presents the episode on-screen. The seventh is a compilation of the Eye to Eye making-of featurettes.
In China, it was broadcast on the Chinese language version of CCTV-9.
In Singapore, only five episodes of Africa are broadcast on Mediacorp Okto on Animal Nights. The Animal Nights from 15 July 2013 to 24 July 2013 was used to broadcast the documentary. Each telecast was on the Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays of the week from 9pm-10pm.[1]

|The series opens in Africa's south west corner and features the wildlife and landscapes of the Kalahari and Namib deserts. Starlight cameras reveal previously unfilmed nocturnal behaviour of black rhinos as they socialise at a Kalahari waterhole, and super slow motion footage captures a fierce battle between two male giraffes. Other sequences show Namibia's famous and mysterious fairy circles, how a fork-tailed drongo's talent for mimicry allows it to steal a meal from a meerkat clan, how ostrichs help their chicks find water, and how red-billed queleas defend their nests from marauding armoured bush crickets. Also, for the first time, cameras enter the world's largest underground lake in Dragon's Breath Cave and film the critically endangered golden cave catfish. Eye to Eye looks behind the scenes of the rhino and giraffe filming.

|East Africa is the subject of the second programme, from the glaciated peaks of the Rwenzori Mountains to the savannahs and caustic soda lakes of the Great Rift Valley. The filmmakers focus on the life and death decisions animals must make in this ever-changing region. On the savannah, agama lizards play a game of dare as they approach a sleeping pride of lions to catch flying insects. Ancient forests in the Savannah are now roamed with mountain gorillas. A shoebill chick is filmed attacking its weaker sibling, forcing the parents to abandon it. On the plains of Amboseli, the worst drought for 50 years claims the life of an elephant calf, one of hundreds which perish from starvation. Their resilience and adaptability is highlighted by the returning rains, which bring together large herds to socialize. In Eye to Eye, cameraman Mark Deeble discusses the ethics of filming the dying elephant calf.
|16 January 2013
|7.97 million viewers[2]
|The third episode visits the Congo basin and features some of the creatures which inhabit its two million square miles of jungle. In the canopy, a chimpanzee is filmed extracting honey from a bees' nest using a variety of branches as tools, whilst underground, a female African rock python incubates her eggs by coiling her warm body around them. Rare footage shows the nesting behaviour of Picathartes and a gathering of forest elephants at Dzanga bai. Other sequences show African skimmers, leaf-folding frogs and luminous fungi. Loango in Gabon is one of the few remaining places where the jungle meets the ocean. African forest buffalo, hippo, elephants and red river hogs emerge from the forest to sunbathe and swim. Eye to Eye shows the difficulties of filming in the Congo.

|The fourth instalment shows how Southern Africa is influenced by two very different ocean currents. The warm Agulhas Current generates rainfall in Mozambique's interior, where butterflies gather on the summit of Mount Mabu to court and breed. The cold Benguela Current influences the Western Cape, where little rain falls. The intense heat makes incubating eggs a difficult prospect for African penguins. In spring, as Namaqualand is transformed into a desert garden, the drama of a monkey beetle's love life plays out in a single flower. Springbok dance in the rainy season for joy. Great white sharks, a school of dolphins 5000 strong, and a 15 m Bryde's whale are filmed in the rich feeding grounds of the Atlantic. Eye to Eye reveals how the opening sequence, documenting the first few minutes of a green turtle hatchling's life, was constructed.
|30 January 2013
|6.52 million viewers[2]
|The penultimate episode opens in the cedar forests of the Atlas Mountains, where Barbary macaques have become isolated from other primates by the expanding Sahara. Aerial photography shows the Sahara is a landscape dominated by rock. Animals featured include Grévy's zebra and naked mole-rats, each found on the desert's fringes. Two million barn swallows are forced to cross the Sahara on their migrations, congregating at a poisoned oasis to feed on flies. The last remaining freshwater pools are home to stranded desert crocodiles, filmed hunting tilapia fish. Macro photography reveals the struggles of dung beetles and silver ants, the latter able to survive exposure to the brutal midday sun thanks to their reflective body coating. Eye to Eye shows how an 18-month time lapse sequence of Libya's sand dunes was filmed.
|"The Future"

|The theme of the final programme is environmental issues affecting Africa's wildlife, including poaching, habitat loss, climate change and human population growth. Attenborough profiles the work of conservationists and scientists across the continent, drawing attention to projects which are helping to protect threatened species such as the black rhino and the mountain gorilla. He visits a Maasai tribe to feature a project which is helping to reduce human-lion conflict, an underpass used by elephants to move between feeding grounds and a sea turtle rehabilitation centre. A civil war ravaged Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, but concerted efforts are now being made to restore the whole ecosystem. Eye to Eye follows Attenborough on his Africa shoot, culminating in an encounter with a blind baby rhino.
The series received critical acclaim.
DVD and Blu-ray
The series was released in the UK as a three-disc DVD (BBCDVD3741) and Blu-ray (BBCBD0227) box set on 18 February 2013.[3][4] Region 1 DVD and Blu-ray box sets of the Discovery series were released on 26 February 2013.
An accompanying hardcover book called Africa: Eye to Eye with the Unknown (ISBN 9781780879147) was published by Quercus on 6 December 2012. It was written by Michael Bright, a former BBC Natural History Unit producer, with a foreword by David Attenborough. The book is divided into chapters which correspond to the six programmes in the TV series. A separate chapter explains how the series was made.[5]
A soundtrack (silcd1421) was released on 18 March 2013.

Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21, 1897 - May 12, 1963) was an American Protestant pastor, preacher, author, magazine editor, Bible conference speaker, and spiritual mentor. For his work, he received two honorary doctorates.
Among the more than forty books that he authored, at least two are regarded as Christian classics: The Pursuit of God and The Knowledge of the Holy. His books impress on the reader the possibility and necessity for a deeper relationship with God.
Living a simple and non-materialistic lifestyle, he and his wife, Ada Cecelia Pfautz, never owned a car, preferring bus and train travel. Even after becoming a well-known Christian author, Tozer signed away much of his royalties to those who were in need.
Prayer was of vital personal importance for Tozer. "His preaching as well as his writings were but extensions of his prayer life", comments his biographer, James L. Snyder in the book, In Pursuit of God: The Life Of A.W. Tozer. "He had the ability to make his listeners face themselves in the light of what God was saying to them", writes Snyder.
Tozer himself produced the works:

<firstimage="//static.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/2011-08-14_145022.jpg" />I finally got my first Android handset, a good old HTC EVO 4G, with Android 2.3.3 pre-installed and it's been great. Two things that are slightly annoying though are first, the battery life and second, the fact that taking a screenshot takes a bit of setup.
I've been able to remedy the first problem with JuiceDefender, an app I found in our Top 100 Android Apps page The Best Android Apps on the Google Play Store for 2019 Looking for the best Android apps for your phone or tablet? Here's our comprehensive list of the best apps for Android. Read More , but the second one -I thought the process would take too long – so I didn't bother to learn the process. That was until I found out the article that Ryan authored at the end of 2009, detailing how to capture screenshots on an Android device How To Capture Screenshots With Your Android Mobile Phone Read More with the Android SDK Manager and the built-in screenshot tool, Dalvik Debug Monitor. It turns out, it's really not that hard after the initial setup.
The Dalvik Debug Monitor from the SDK manager is a good way to get screenshots of your Android handset, but I've found another tool that makes things a lot easier if you find yourself needing Android screenshots quite a bit.
AShot, is an open-source screenshot and screencasting tool. You can easily view what's on your Android handset on your computer screen and more. Read on to find out more about what makes this a good alternative to the built-in Dalvik Debug Monitor.
Setting Up
For the purposes of this article, you'll need the Android SDK Manager, an USB sync cable, AShot, and your phone, of course. For more details on what to do after installing the Android SDK Manager, you can consult Ryan's article How To Capture Screenshots With Your Android Mobile Phone Read More . To summarize it, here are a few tips:
- You don't actually have to download the executable file.
- The zip file of the SDK Manager will do just fine. Just extract the contents, make a note of the location where you extracted the android-sdk-windows.
- Right-click on the SDK Manager and select Run as Administrator.
- Install and update the first entry, Android SDK Platform-tools. For the other entries, simply choose Reject, which will ensure a speedier download for the actual components that you need.
- Also, select the Google USB driver from Third-party Add-ons in the Available Packages tab.
- Connect your phone to your computer via the USB sync cable. If it's your first time plugging in your phone to your computer, you might be prompted to install the necessary drivers, which you should. Once that's done, on your phone, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and check the box for USB debugging.
- Now run the ddms.bat file in the tools folder.
- Make sure this windows pops up, with your Android phone listed on the left panel. This will ensure AShot runs properly.
- Now, download and install AShot. When you first launch it (it will show up in the Start menu as Android Screen Capture), it will ask you to choose the location of your android-sdk-windows, which you made a note of in the first bullet point. Once you browse to that location and click on OK, you'll be able to see what's on your Android phone on your computer screen.
What You Can Do With AShot
How is AShot different from using the Dalvik Debug Monitor, you ask? With AShot, screen capturing requires minimal effort. There's no need to click on the refresh button every time your Android handset's screen changes. AShot displays what's on your device on your computer screen in real-time, with just a little lag. There are also keyboard shortcuts for things like going fullscreen, rotating clock- and counterclockwise, etc.
You can also set a capture folder and click on the Start Capture button to automatically log all of your handset activity in screenshots.
To record a screencast The Best Settings & Formats for Capturing Videos for YouTube Read More , I'd suggest using Camstudio A Thorough Look At CamStudio As An Effective Screencasting Tool Read More for Windows or the web-based How to Create a Screencast Like a Pro with These 6 Online Tools Read More Screenr, both of which support screencasting in HD resolution.
If you get stuck in any step, simply go to the AShot developer's instruction page or ask in the comment section below.

Ahead of London Collections: Men, the British Fashion Council commissioned the V&A to write a report on men's fashion, which uncovers London as a trend-setting capital since 1528.
BY Keren Protheroe | 11 June 2013
Photo: Rex
As London gears up for its biannual showcase of British menswear brands, the V&A has delved into the fashion archives to dig up the sartorial history of the capital.
READ: London grows while Milan groans
As London Collections: Men is about unmasking the cultural landscape that menswear brands build upon for their fashion lines, it seems timely that the V&A should uncover the rich heritage of British fashion, from Charles II's creation of the three-piece suit to the Duke of Wellington's namesake rubber boot.
Joining those global trends that originate in Britain are timeless pieces such as the brogue, the trench coat and bowler hat; and lesser known British staples, the bondage trouser and floral tie.

London: Home of Menswear The History and Heritage
In its more than 300 year history British menswear has been a well-source of style and innovation. Its spectrum of achievement has provided the clothes and the attitude to dress every sort of gentleman. Kings, aristocrats, rebels and bohemians; all have fulfilled their sartorial destinies in the showrooms and fitting rooms of London's tailors and retailers. This legacy of excellence continues to resonate across the globe. Its influence can be seen today on city streets, catwalks and stylish men the world over.
The origins of the three-piece suit
London has been a cultural hub and a centre of luxury trade since the sixteenth century. When Henry VIII granted a Royal Charter to the Clothworkers Company in 1528 it joined a group of prestigious merchant companies which represented London's community of mercers, drapers, haberdashers and tailors.
In the 1660s Paternoster Row, in the area behind St Paul's in the City of London, housed the mercers, tailors, silkmen and lacemen who supplied the richly ornamented clothes of London's wealthy political classes and aristocratic elite. The diarist Samuel Pepys was the son of a tailor and a discerning and frequent customer of London's mercers. In 1666 he recorded that he had bought himself a 'velvett for a coat, and Camelott (camlet) for a cloak' in Paternoster Row.
The earliest origins of the three-piece tailored suit can be traced to the same year. It was Pepys who recorded Charles II's adoption of 'the new fashion' which was intended to replace the male uniform of doublet and breeches with a new combination of tunic, breeches and vest. It was described by Pepys as 'a long Cassocke close to the body, of black cloth, and pinked with white silk under it, and a coat over it, and the legs ruffled with black riband like a pigeon's leg'. Fellow diarist John Evelyn commended the King for his rejection of the French mode which he noted had been 'hitherto obtain'd to our great expense and reproach.'

Life at the Royal Court determined fashionable taste during this period. Tailors made clothing for men at all levels of society but only those at the highest levels could afford the luxury textiles and fine trimmings which characterised court dress. Sumptuary laws in the sixteenth century determined that the use of velvet for gowns and coats should be limited to those with £200 or more per year. In the1600s silk was only available as an expensive import, a factor which maintained the dress distinctions of those at the top of society. The sartorial excesses of the Restoration Court attracted moral censure. Charles's choice of cloth (wool) for his new 'vest' can be seen as an early gesture of restraint in the history of the English suit and a royal endorsement of the English woollen textile industry.
At the end of the seventeenth century Huguenot immigration into Spitalfields and Bethnal Green triggered the development of the English silk weaving industry. James Leman and Anna Maria Garthwaite were notable Spitalfields designers; Garthwaite's botanically-influenced design gave a peculiarly English slant to the designs of London silk. Portraits painted in the early eighteenth century show waistcoats of embroidered or woven silk providing a decorative focus in a style of more relaxed tailoring. Sir Godfrey Kneller's portraits of members of London's Kit-cat club show how the formalities of court dress were being rejected by an increasingly powerful political class. Kneller's portrait of Charles Mohun, ca.1707, shows his rich brocade silk waistcoat contrasted with simple linen and worn with a collarless, loosely cut, velvet coat which has voluminous sleeves and evenly spaced silver buttons. Although made of rich materials, the simple lines of Mohun's clothing illustrate a further move towards decorative restraint.
By the mid-eighteenth century knee-length waistcoats, often made of silk, were a common form of fashionable display for wealthy gentlemen. The market for such fashionable goods was supplied by London's new West End following its development as a high class residential and shopping area around St James Fields from the 1660s.
Town and Country
Commerce, rural pursuits and the development of London's shopping districts all influenced English tailoring between1750 and 1830. A suit of waistcoat, breeches and coat, usually but not always in the same fabric, was the basic form of male dress, yet influences from military and equestrian clothing also informed the style and cut of gentlemen's clothing. Portraiture and printed sources of the period document a shift in cultural hegemony from the aristocracy at Court to the landed gentry and mercantile middle classes. As early as 1726 Cèsar de Saussaure remarked:
Englishmen are usually very plainly dressed, they scarcely ever wear gold on their clothes; they wear little coats called 'frocks', without facings and without pleats… You will see rich merchants and gentlemen thus dressed and sometimes even noblemen of high rank.
A painting of Richard Arkwright, by the artist Joseph Wright of Derby, portrays the northern industrialist wearing a 'suit of dittos' made of the same-coloured cloth across coat, breeches and waistcoat. Many of Wright's subjects were leaders in the world of science and industry who lived in Britain's centres of manufacturing rather than fashion. The rationalization of men's dress in the eighteenth century ran concurrent with the increasing professionalisation of commerce and manufacturing which fuelled Britain's economy. By 1700 London was already the largest city in Western Europe and by the end of the century its shopping and leisure areas formed a backdrop to fashionable display and consumption. Formal dress in the 1780s was worn for visiting friends for tea, walking in the park or shopping. It comprised of a cloth dress coat and matching waistcoat, often decorated with embroidery or military-style frogging (braiding).

Functionality informed the style and cut of outdoor sports clothing. Thick wool fabrics had a sculptural quality which allowed closeness of fitting on even the most utilitarian garment. By the early nineteenth century the equestrian riding coat, cut high under the arm for ease of movement, had developed stylistically into a tailcoat with a double-breasted row of metal buttons, a high collar and a steeply cut-away front. In this new form the tailcoat crossed the divide between country sportswear and urban fashion; it was adopted by a set of self-consciously fashionable, young male consumers who were taking advantage of the new leisure opportunities provided by London's parks and shopping.
Tailcoats were worn with buff coloured breeches, riding boots and one of the many fashionable interpretations of an intricately tied cravat. Their wide revers (turned-back collars) and simplicity even influenced women's tailoring in England and France. The 'redingote' became a prominent style of riding habit worn by aristocratic women. In its most exaggerated form, the English tailcoat defied the authority of French style leadership when it informed the flamboyant dress of Paris's decadent Incroyables. A reputation for fine tailoring was at the heart of the Anglomania which swept Paris at the end of the eighteenth century.
Traditionally in Britain the aristocracy had led public taste, yet the style leadership of Britain's Hanoverian monarchy would emerge only the beginning of the nineteenth century under the influence of the Prince Regent. Such was his reputation for dress that following his ascension to the throne in 1820 he wore a kilt on a state visit to Scotland and tartan became a fabric of fashion.
The Prince was powerfully influenced by a man outside the ranks of the aristocracy, George (Beau) Brummell. Brummell's contribution to the history of British menswear lies in an approach to dress which has become synonymous with the notion of the English dandy. Brummell's restrained and perfectly observed sartorial code advocated a simplified form of tailcoat which he wore with long 'pantaloons', in direct precedent of the modern day suit. His fashionability demanded the highest standards of cleanliness, the most expensive and highest quality tailoring, and accessories which he sourced in Mayfair's shopping streets.
By the early nineteenth century Bond Street was an exclusive thoroughfare, home to tailors, jewellers, hatters, perfumiers. The Burlington Arcade opened in 1819 and Regent Street's sweeping façade was completed in 1825. Many tailors and bootmakers were located in The Strand with the most exclusive and renowned working in the streets of St James's to the north of Piccadilly. John Weston of Old Bond Street and Meyer of Cork Street are both names which have been associated with Brummell. Although traditionally silk had been the most costly, and therefore the most exclusive sort of cloth, the dense mouldability of woollen cloth gave it a superior edge when used in tailoring which demanded absolute perfection of fit. By the turn of the nineteenth century London's tailors' skill of working with the subtlety of wool cemented their reputation internationally as the finest tailors in the world.
IN PICTURES: 10 menswear icons Britain gave the world
So prevalent was the self-conscious dressing of the men who employed London's tailoring talent, that Pierce Egan's Life in London of 1821 satirized the sartorial pretensions of London's dandies in illustrations which caricatured the relationship between fictional Regent Street tailor Richard Primefit and his precocious young clients. Yet Brummell's significance lay in his ability to mobilise personal style in order to make fashion out of an essentially rural form of clothing. In doing so he elevated functional, understated design through attention to detail, cloth, cut and fit. Christopher Breward has written of Brummell:
No other sartorial philosophy has come close to wielding such influence on either the day-to-day process of dressing or the more rarified consideration of dress as an idea… [his] unsettling style has sustained a dandified mode of living for almost two hundred years, inspiring, subverting and critiquing urban modes and manners with surprising consequences for the character and direction of modern British fashion.
The Gentleman and his Tailor
During Queen Victoria's reign Britain was the wealthiest country in the world and patterns of work and property ownership increasingly stratified British society into discrete social classes. The London Season structured the social engagements of aristocratic society and created employment for London's tailors, but Britain's reputation for military tailoring was also a significant force in the development of Savile Row.
Clothing the military at the end of the eighteenth century forged the reputations of several tailoring firms whose names are now synonymous with London's most famous tailoring street. James Gieve worked in Portsmouth for the firm which tailored Lord Nelson's and Captain Hardy's uniforms at the Battle of Trafalgar. Military cap maker Thomas Hawkes held Royal Warrants from King George III. By the time Gieves and Hawkes united on Savile Row in the 1970s their individual reputations had secured high profile commissions and Royal Warrants from across Europe. Military tailoring and Royal commissions were also important to the firm of Henry Poole & Co which, following a commission from Queen Victoria to design a new style of court dress, opened its first showroom in Savile Row in 1846.
A reputation for strident respectability has given men's tailoring in the nineteenth century a reputation for sober uniformity. Despite this, fashion historians have argued that the bespoke system of tailoring allowed men to experiment with new forms of clothing and to explore a range of masculinities through dress. Stylistic development in London tailoring followed the three-piece conventions of the previous century. Decorative waistcoats offered opportunity for self-expression, as did novelty cravat pins and selective use of stripes and checks. Appropriateness in dress was annotated in editions of The Gentleman's Magazine of Fashion and in the publications of Benjamin Read. Read was a London tailor who recognised the value of depicting the tailoring details of new fashions in dress set against a backdrop of the city's fashionable landmarks and streets. The double-breasted frock coat, with its high buttoning and military shaping, remained the hallmark of respectability throughout the nineteenth century. From the 1860s the lounge coat, originally worn only for sports and leisure, became more acceptable as a garment for informal public occasions.

Sports clothing was strongly associated with Victorian masculinity and this allowed it to be an area of experimentation without fear of the taint of effeminacy or accusation of inappropriate preoccupation with personal appearance. The Norfolk Jacket was adapted from military clothing in the 1860s to become a standard shooting costume. Often made in Harris Tweed or homespun cloth it was worn with matching knickerbockers. An 1888 edition of the Tailor and Cutter suggested it was especially suited for bicycling, business and fishing.
The 'Coke' or bowler hat has become synonymous with the look of the London City gent. It was created in 1850 by London's oldest and most prestigious hatter, James Lock & Co, as working wear to protect the heads of Norfolk farmer William Coke's gamekeepers. The Coke hat's rural and lower-class status changed only after it became associated with the dress of British aristocracy at the turn of the century. The Coke was worn by Edward VII and later popularised by the Edward, Prince of Wales.
Descriptions of Poole's showrooms in the 1880 describe a lavish and immersive environment furnished with mahogany tables, piled high with dark-coloured cloths. It had palatial fitting rooms furnished in gold and satin. Luxury was also becoming available in the new department stores being built on Regent Street and Piccadilly. The expansion of Liberty & Co on Regent Street catered to London's most artistic clientele. It providing smoking jackets, decorative accessories and oriental silk pyjamas made from imported Indian silks or fabrics printed in Liberty's own printworks at Merton in south London.
By the end of the nineteenth century London was a global city in both its population and its vision. Its tailoring industries, including those in Savile Row, relied heavily of talents of a skilled immigrant Jewish workforce which operated out of the East End producing goods to sell in the luxurious outlets of the West End. Its manufacturers and retailers worked to meet the fashionable public's enthusiasm for goods which exploited the colours and patterns of fabrics imported from the Empire.
Edwardians to New Edwardians
We ourselves now realise that the traditional British jacket, rather long in the skirt with a vent or vents at the back, is an admirable foil to narrow trousers. It is a style eminently suitable to the big-boned Englishman. It looks well in the beautifully balanced checks which only our weavers in Yorkshire and Scotland understand how to plan in such a way that the traditional is never obscured by the fantastic.
The First World War dismantled a golden period of Edwardian refinement but the democratisation of fashion in the interwar years created an increasingly visible London menswear industry. The relaxation of styles and the opening of new menswear outfitters injected an adventurous glamour into shopping. New forms of clothing were introduced and marketed as essential components in the pursuit of an idealised leisured lifestyle. Savile Row continued to serve the country's most newsworthy elite, including Winston Churchill, who was a regular customer, and more discreetly its overseas royal commissions.
Thomas Burberry's innovation of waterproof twill-weave gabardine gave his company a competitive edge in the early twentieth century. Burberry's first London store opened in 1891 on Haymarket, the busy thoroughfare leading to Piccadilly. By the 1910s Burberry's outdoor wear was clothing Britain's early expeditions to Antarctica and the South Pole. In 1901 the firm was commissioned by the War Office to design its officers' uniforms, a charge which would develop in 1914 to create its most iconic product, the Burberry trench coat.

Beyond heroic association with the battlefields of Flanders, the Burberry trench coat represents a peculiarly British modern sensibility. Traditional craft values of quality workmanship and robust materials combine in a garment whose stylistic associations have varyingly been military, county and high fashion.
After the First World War Royalty became an international advert for English tailoring as the Prince of Wales became the first cosmopolitan English monarch. The Prince's easy elegance found expression in a more relaxed style of tailoring. His ability to effortlessly combine British plaids and tweeds, often in clashing spots and stripes, in stylish sporting attire made him an ambassador for the British traditional textile industry.
Royalty's sanction of Britain's regional cloths and clothes has been intrinsic to its long patronage of bespoke tailoring. Prince of Wales check is eponymous to Edward VII, and Prince Albert borrowed on tartan's rural authenticity when wearing a kilt in recreation of traditional Highland dress at Balmoral. The modern 'brogue', a term referring to the process of punching holes in the leather upper, originated in rural Scotland at the end of the eighteenth century. In similar transition to the Coke hat, when the Prince of Wales wore brogues on his golfing trips to Scotland their rural associations crossed into urban fashion. In the sometimes outlandish sartorial experiments of the 1920s - which culminated in Oxford Bags in 1924 - the Prince's ability to elegantly co-ordinate Fair Isle and Argyle knitwear with tweed and homespun plaid, bore testimony to his Brummellian restraint. The Prince bought his shirts from Turnbull and Asser on Jermyn Street and his shoes from John Lobb at 6 St James Street.
Beyond the rarefied, bespoke world of royalty, menswear ready-to-wear retailing was modernising between the wars. Austin Reed introduced 'The New Tailoring' at his Regent Street menswear department store in 1926 and opened its first international outlet on the transatlantic liner RMS Aquitania in 1929. Simpson's of Piccadilly, with it DAKS range of tailoring and sportswear, opened in 1936. These firms, amongst others, responded to the democratised desire for stylish and well-cut fashion. After the War, Savile Row also modernised. The arrival of Hardy Amies, best known as the Queen's couturier, in 1945 introduced the notion of fashion and challenged the overt masculinity of the street. In addition to serving his bespoke customers Amies designed collections for the Leeds firm Hepworths. The prototypes of their 'made to measure' suits were often cut by Amies' neighbour, Norton & Sons, at 16 Savile Row.
By 1951 The Ambassador magazine was promoting English fashion abroad by evoking a nostalgic sense of Britishness and by framing the practice of bespoke tailoring as able to transcend the forces of mechanisation. In an article titled, 'This Casual Elegance', its author noted:
There is an idea that the well-dressed Englishman is the epitome of studied disarray… This is an inversion of the truth. It is not a planned disorder but an unconscious elegance… While mass production methods have forced the cobbler from his traditional squat, the bespoke tailor sits today as he always has.
By the 1950s a bohemian London coexisted with the still authoritative voice of the conservative establishment. Ex-guardsman and inveterate dandy Bunny Roger employed the precision skills of Savile Row to recreate decorative waistcoats and the slimline silhouette of its early-century tailoring. Yet, Roger's neo-Edwardianism sought to the preserve the distance between nineteenth century codes of class and behaviour and the socially destabilising forces of modern democratised shopping. In London's less prestigious districts Teddy Boys were a new class of dandy asserting their influence by paying local tailors up to four weeks' wages to appropriate the neo-Edwardian codes of Savile Row; their 'stovepipe' trousers, velvet collared coats and reputations for street violence made them insubordinate arbiters of style.
Street style
Greater democratisation of fashion in the second half of the twentieth century made London into a fashion city. The development of British street-style and subcultural taste changed the look and the social rules of menswear. From the 1960s key streets in Chelsea and the West End developed new and dynamic retailing strategies which targeted a generation of young male consumers.
Of all London's historic fashion districts none has retained its temporal resonance as much as Carnaby Street. Between 1963 and 1970, John Stephen, Lord John, Take 6, and I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet were names synonymous with a style and attitude in modern menswear which has become emblematic of 1960s sub-cultural exuberance. Carnaby Street's evolution from a drab and inconsequential Soho backwater to Swinging London's colourful and entrepreneurially assertive 'peacock alley' has undoubtedly played its role in the mythologisation of 1960s London. Yet the style leadership and social change played out in its boutiques and street life, and the ambition of its key protagonists, cemented Carnaby Street's reputation as an internationally recognised icon of English style.
The Glaswegian John Stephen's influence on the rise of the street has been ascribed to his talent for sharp styling, innovative retailing and recognition of the prevailing mood which rejected stereotypical masculinities in clothing. Opening his first shop at 5 Carnaby Street in 1956, within a decade he owned more than ten others including Mod Male, Domino Male and Gear Street all selling Stephen's flamboyant take on traditional men's tailoring to an audience for whom novelty and detail were key. The exacting sartorial aspirations of London's Mods were met by Stephen, who introduced hipster trousers and slim-cut shirts manufactured in limited production with high, soft, buttoned or tabbed collars. Decorative fabrics in bright or pastel colours were promoted to be worn with wide lapelled velvet frock coats and kipper ties. Throughout the decade the tailoring talent in Soho's upstairs workrooms were able to provide short runs of suit jackets and coats in traditional suitings, plaids and wide pinstripes, individualised and embellished with trimmings, lining, buttons and embroidery freely available from wholesalers nearby.

John Stephen and Michael Fish can perhaps both lay claim to the introduction of the tailored floral shirt and tie. When Jermyn Street shirt-maker, Turnbull & Asser, employed Fish to extend their classic lines into more flamboyant and youthful territory he created vibrant designs in quality tailored shirts and kipper ties. The exuberant florals found in the haberdashery department at Liberty & Co were also catalytic in this flowering of gender-defying pastoral expression. Liberty & Co's William Poole and Bernard Neville exploited the firm's richly decorative archive to create a range of modern fabrics in a luridly-colourful print-on-print celebration of 1930s florals and art-nouveau swirls.
Alistair O'Neil has written that 'Carnaby Street became synonymous with a masculine form of colourful peacockery not seen since the early nineteenth century, and made a spectacle of men being self-conscious in their consumption of fashion.' Yet it was not the only London street with a reputation for selling distinctive clothing which pushed the boundaries of masculine convention. Rupert Lycett-Green opened Blades in Dover Street in 1962, and Tommy Nutter arrived on Savile Row in 1968. Both combined fine detail and precision tailoring with a receptive approach to fashion and this marked their exceptional contributions to London tailoring in the 1960s and 1970s. Further west, on Portobello Road, I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet sold Edwardian militaria and sharply cut suits alongside Union Jack shirts and kaftans as popular trends moved away from flamboyant derivatives of Western tailoring towards ethnic and hippy styles.
The post-war prosperity and optimism which fuelled entrepreneurialism in 1960s Carnaby Street dissolved in the economic uncertainties of the 1970s. As the promise of long-term unemployment radicalised a generation of youth, dispossession exploded into the DIY aesthetic of punk which, between 1974 and 1978, created an 'anti-fashion' assault on the recognised notions of good taste. In 1976 the shop at 430 King's Road was renamed Seditionaries by its owners Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. Their collection of that year took the fetish-wear sold in their first shop Sex and subverted is meanings further in a new collection which included cloth bondage trousers with bum flaps, straps and zips, striped mohair jumpers and t-shirts with confrontational slogans. The Seditionaries collection quickly cemented McLaren's and Westwood's position as style leaders who epitomised the antagonistic spirit and style of English punk. McLaren's and Westwood's involvement in the radical sub-cultural activity which defined youth-culture in the 1980s was largely realised through their style-influence on London's music and club scene. Their first catwalk collection, 'Pirates' in 1981, combined barbed colourful prints with flounced shirts and tricorn hats in a display of swash-buckling histrionics which played out at street level in the New Romantic movement. Musicians and designers who further challenged orthodox masculinities in dress came together at the Blitz nightclub in Covent Garden. Culture Club, Spandau Ballet, Bodymap and Stephen Jones all shaped the look of British fashion in the 1980s.
Westwood has continued to work reflexively with fashion history by appropriating its symbols and allegiances and even revisiting her own contributions from the days of Seditionaries. Finely tailored bondage trousers in traditional British checks have featured in her later collections. In Harris Tweed (1987), Time Machine (1988), and Anglomania (1993) Westwood has borrowed the materials and meanings associated with English tailoring to offer a celebration of its heritage but also to expose what Rebecca Arnold has called 'the lie of a coherent single definition of Englishness' in which English tailoring and style assumes a solely aristocratic heritage. Paul Smith arrived in Covent Garden in 1979. He is another designer closely associated with London who playfully subverts the meanings and associations of Englishness in his clothing and in the 'gentlemen's outfitter' design of his shop in Covent Garden's Floral Street.

In 2013 London continues to be a fashion centre for British menswear. Just as the area around St James's was a hub of fashionable display and consumption in the early nineteenth century, so today the streets around Savile Row and Jermyn Street continue to offer bespoke and high-quality ready-made menswear and accessories. In recent years east of the City in the area around Shoreditch High Street, a culture of small-scale production and retail has transformed London's historical clothing manufacturing districts into a fashion centre notable for its migrant influence, cultural dynamism and menswear retailers. London's cosmopolitanism has been intrinsic to its international reputation. Across the world it is known for its innovative retailing and hybrid sense of style; a vivid expression of its rich fashion heritage.

Atlantic Cup Classic, Stage 2, New Bedford, MA, May 19th, 1999.
(courtesy Dave Pogue)
The Atlantic Cup Classic week of $2500 criteriums continued in the Whaling City on Tuesday night. A full field of 125 riders lined up to do battle on the cobbled hillside streets of New Bedford, Massachusetts, a town familiar with international bike racing from its years as host of the Whaling City Pro-Am in the 1980's. The riders faced a 1/2-mile, 4-corner circuit with a less-than-gentle incline through the start/finish and a 200-meter stretch of ancient, gnarled cobbles after the 3rd turn and into the sprint. It was a day of attrition which left a mere 26 riders left for the finish, and only Mark Walters (Navigators) and Chad Gerlach (Merlin/Hind) in contention for the win.
The danger of the cobbles was lost on no one, and many riders voiced their lack of motivation for a race that would obviously be so difficult. With that in mind, those willing to attack did so early; staying at the front and out of trouble, and thinning the field with every lap. The difference in ability required to glide over the cobbles compared to gliding up the hill meant a strange mix of riders who survived, and also seemed to prevent the cohesiveness required for a group to stay away. Short lived solo or two-up attacks netted riders like last year's winner Peter Wedge (Team Degree/Radio Energie) some cash in hand from the generous primes, but each time the small moves came back, albeit to a smaller field than the one they left.
Fatigue set in on the remaining riders once the halfway mark was passed, and each new attack stuck just a little longer than the once before. Finally, with 20 laps remaining, Dirk Friel (Merlin/Hind) launched the protagonistic move, followed shortly by Walters and last years overall champion Kevin Monahan (Breakaway Courier Systems). Before the three could settle in, however, word came that Friel's teammate Gerlach was on his way across. Monahan and Walters continued to work while Friel waited for Gerlach to catch.
No sooner was Gerlach on, though, that Walters realized he had a teammate on his way up as well. The next group of four contained Navigators' Todd Littlehales, along with Monahan's Breakaway Courier cohort Shawn Willard, race leader Sylvain Beauchamp, and the omnipresent Mark McCormack (Saturn). Walters sat on; soon the break was eight and the real action would begin.
Littlehales attacked immediately upon bridging. The group brought him back quickly, but were rewarded for their efforts with a counter-attack by Walters. This was the deciding move; Walters was free, and lapped the field solo with 4 laps remaining in the race."I didn't know how close the group behind was, or if anyone was coming, so I just went to the front of the field and tried to keep the tempo high until the finish. I didn't even put my hands up at the line because I still wasn't sure if I had won," Walters said. He had indeed won, though, beating a solo Gerlach by 32 seconds. Over a minute down, Littlehales took the remaining podium place over Monahan and McCormack, while a full lap down, Jon Page (Wheelworks/Cannondale) won the field sprint for 9th from Chris Fisher (Merlin/Hind) and Charlie Dionne (Team Degree/Radio Energie).The result left Monahan and Walters tied on points for the overall, but Walters was given the jersey based on his higher placing. Monahan was second the day before in Northampton. Former leader Beauchamp dropped to third.

As the curtains close on specialty theater record stores, a digital alternative for show-tune enthusiasts makes its debut. BwayTunes.com is your one stop shop for: digital downloads, sheet music, insight into upcoming productions, specially curated content from industry insiders, and much more.
We were lucky enough to be part of this project! We built this site on Drupal and over the past 8 months have watched it grow and evolve. Seeing BwayTunes.com come to fruition adds a new layer to our Think Work Media company motto: Web Done Differently. This was a project unlike others and it was fun to approach it that way. Our clients, Jim Russek and Erik Hartog, had an innovative idea that allowed us the opportunity to add our technical expertise. The collaboration was a positive learning experience. Mr. Russek brought his years of ad agency experience and great attention to detail to the designs he gave us. Mr. Hartog was essential in helping us understand and build upon his complex database.
BwayTunes.com is not your average digital music store. Here you can do more than download music — you can stream radio and take advantage of unique search capabilities. Whether your musical theater interest is limited to your high school production of "Oklahoma!" or you're an aficionado, BwayTunes.com has something for everyone. At this week's launch event, Mr. Russek said, "As the specialty music store was on the corner of a side street in a city, we're on every street corner in America." BwayTunes.com is bringing Broadway to you — and we're excited to see where it goes!
We're always on the lookout for cool and interesting projects. If there's something we can help you do differently, contact us. A big congratulations to our friends at BwayTunes.com!
