Apple, China Mobile sign deal

‘IMMEDIATE BOOST’?：Analysts say a key issue is whether the deal would lead to additional sales for Apple or only prompt existing users to switch to China Mobile

Tue, Dec 24, 2013 - Page 15

Apple Inc and China Mobile Ltd (中國移動) yesterday announced a long-anticipated agreement to bring the iPhone to the world’s biggest phone company.

The deal might help boost iPhone sales in a market where Apple Inc faces intense competition. The iPhone is available in China through two smaller carriers, but the latest deal links it with a bigger network and state-owned China Mobile’s marketing power.

The iPhone is popular with Chinese customers who can afford it, but it has been eclipsed by lower-priced smartphones from Samsung Electronics Co and local brands.

The iPhone 5S and 5C will go on sale in Apple and China Mobile stores beginning on Jan. 17.

The companies did not announce pricing or the terms of the agreement. The deal comes a month before China’s Lunar New Year holiday late next month, a big gift-buying season.

That “will provide an immediate boost to Apple’s share in China,” said analyst Nicole Peng (彭路平) of Canalys, a research firm.

Forecasts of possible increased iPhone sales under a deal with China Mobile vary widely, from 10 million to 40 million. A key issue is whether it leads to additional sales or only prompts existing users to switch to China Mobile.

The iPhone will help China Mobile promote a new 4G network that received government approval this month. However, analysts say that Apple needed the agreement more than the Chinese carrier. That gave China Mobile leverage in negotiations over how to split costs, which for the high-priced iPhone usually includes subsidizing handset sales.

The iPhone faces tough competition from cheaper smartphones running Google’s Android software. Collectively, Android phones far outsell Apple’s iPhone.

Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook told the official Xinhua news agency in January that he expected China to surpass the US as its biggest market.

About 50 million iPhones have been sold in China in the past two-and-a-half years, according to analyst estimates.

Apple’s share of China’s smartphone sales declined to 6.2 percent in the third quarter from 7.9 percent a year earlier, according to Canalys. Samsung’s share expanded from 14.1 percent to 21.2 percent over the same period.

Samsung’s advantages include being able to offer carriers a mix of phones priced as low as 1,000 yuan (US$150), while Apple competes only in the highest market tier, Canalys said.

China Mobile has more than 750 million mobile accounts. However, a survey by Bernstein Research said some China Mobile customers use smaller carriers for data service. Apple already has agreements with China Telecom Ltd (中國電信) and China Unicom Ltd (中國聯通), which have about 455 million mobile accounts.

As for subsidies, Unicom pays 2,500 yuan of the iPhone’s 5,499 yuan cost in exchange for a customer signing a two-year contract to pay a minimum of 186 yuan per month.

Analysts say China Mobile will have to match those terms to achieve significant sales.

China Mobile wants to have the world’s largest 4G network. It plans to have 4G services available in 16 cities by the end of this year and to provide coverage for 340 cities by the end of next year.

 Innovative approaches to foster inclusive economic growth - Taipei Times

Innovative approaches to foster inclusive economic growth

By Stefano Scarpetta

When the benefits of economic growth are distributed very unequally, social bonds fray. Those losing ground, especially the young, may well grow disaffected, then resentful. This was a key factor behind the Arab Spring revolts. As protests in Chile, Brazil, Israel, Turkey and India have shown, social tensions stemming from inequality are mounting around the globe.

To be sure, income inequality has been increasing worldwide for decades. While many developing and emerging economies lifted millions of people out of extreme poverty, the perception that growth meant greater inequality was always bubbling below the surface. However, now persistent unemployment and underemployment are giving new impetus to the rise in inequality, as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) reported to the G20 in July.

Indeed, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, youth unemployment now averages 16 percent in countries with advanced economies and exceeds 40 percent in some European countries.

As a result, the challenge of inclusive growth has moved to the top of the global economic policy agenda. Indeed, according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Agenda Outlook, widening income disparities will be the second-most important world trend next year, behind only Middle East tensions.

Income gaps are growing for many reasons, ranging from “skill-biased” technological progress to corruption. Whatever its causes, putting people back to work at productive, rewarding jobs can help a great deal, and this demands the best efforts of governments, employers and civil-society groups on many fronts.

For starters, it means providing populations with access to quality schooling and healthcare: a healthy, educated person is an employable person. In many countries, this remains a major challenge. However, the large strides already made in some low-income countries reveal great potential.

Consider Brazil, which enjoyed a long boom in the 2000s, during which income inequality actually declined. One contributing factor was the bolsa familia (family grant), now a decade old. This monthly cash payment goes directly to mothers, provided that they keep their children in school and send them for regular medical checkups.

This innovative program is not only a human-capital investment in millions of children, it also allows mothers to work. Such well-designed subsidies for socially useful behavior can lift millions out of poverty.

However, education and health are just the first step. For practical and political reasons, redistributive programs, while essential, are not enough to ensure inclusive growth by themselves.

It is often said, for good reason, that the widening income gap largely reflects technological change, which has drained many economies of blue — and even white — collar jobs, while channeling the fruits of improved productivity to highly skilled elites. But the digital revolution can also enable inclusive growth. Internet applications and other communication advances are spreading knowledge and information to millions of poor people.

Consider Babajob.com, started by a Microsoft researcher in India to bring better job opportunities to the country’s informal sector by connecting employers and job seekers via the Web, mobile apps, SMS and voice services. Likewise, in Kenya, as cellphones became widespread, network operators introduced M-pesa, by which anyone with a mobile phone can transfer money quickly and cheaply — a boon for the smallest enterprises in particular.

Pop Stop

Compiled by Jules Quartly  /  STAFF REPORTER

Young, cute and rich, Rainie Yang is changing the cultural landscape.

As anyone with even the most superficial understanding of Taiwan will know, cuteness rules. Evidence of this simple truth is seen in the accessories hanging from most people's mobile phones and the popularity of Hello Kitty products at 7-Eleven.

The new Queen of Cute is undoubtedly Rainie Yang (楊丞琳), the singer (of sorts) and variety show TV host. Her greatest asset, however, is a baby-doll face that has earned her over NT$10 million in endorsements. Ads featuring just her visage have included those for fruit tea, yogurt, silver pendants, earrings, hair products, contact lenses and most recently an electric toothbrush.

A Chinese-language daily reported this week that she earns up to NT$3 million for each promotion and estimated that her face will earn NT$15 million by the end of the year.

This is serious cash for someone who is most famous for pursing her lips and looking like a squirrel. But to be fair to the 22-year-old signed by music giant Sony BMG, she has changed the cultural landscape.

Before Yang there was just ke ai (可愛), or cute. But since Yang has reigned zhuang ke ai (裝可愛), or “fake cute” has become the pop norm for aspiring starlets. To achieve this look try looking like a frightened animal and pronounce ke ai as kou ai (口愛).

The former queen of cuteness, Jolin Tsai (蔡依林), this week paid US dance instructor Link the princely sum of NT$1 million for three days work to ensure she's in shape for her upcoming concerts in Hong Kong.

Local gossip rags also reported that her record company has insured her pins for NT$50 million. Pop Stop guesses they won't be wishing her luck in Hong Kong with the traditional saying, “Break a leg.”

Someone in need of a break this week is Cyndi Wang (王心凌), who has been mercilessly slated for her acting in the soap opera Pasta. Over the weekend Wang popped on a baseball cap and went to Taipei's Xingtian Temple (行天宮) to pray for good reviews and the arrival of “Mr. Right” in her life.

This trick worked once before. Before the release of her debut album, which sold a respectable 100,000 units, she took time out from her promotional schedule to pray for success at a temple in Penghu. The Gods may have smiled on her then, but on this occasion the press pack related that she entered and exited the temple from the left side, rather than leaving stage right, as suggested by temple staff. Having missed her cue, they conjectured, the Gods may not look so favorably on her plight this time.

Finally, some good news for follicly challenged young men. Asia's top stud muffin, the immaculate Rain appears to be losing his crowning glory. On his visit to Taipei in April this year some scribes remarked on what appeared to be his receding hairline.

A recent shot of the South Korean singer and actor at the poolside indulging his passion for dried noodle snacks got the commentators going again. They brought up the case of a 29-year-old Taiwanese who was said by skin specialists to have lost his hair because he ate only instant noodles for a year.

Rain, they opined, should give up his noodle munchies to avoid a similar fate.

Armstrong cut from event

A global business forum has dropped disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong from the list of speakers for its Mexico City event next month, organizers said on Thursday. The US rider was cut from the World Business Forum in light of the “strong accusations and numerous evidence” of doping against him, World of Business Ideas events marketing director Nicolas Heller told reporters. Armstrong’s image still appears on street posters promoting the Nov. 14 and 15 event in the Mexican capital, whose speakers include former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe. However, the forum decided to drop Armstrong last week and replaced him with former American football star Joe Montana, the quarterback who led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl wins.

All Whites to play China

New Zealand will play China in a friendly in Shanghai on Nov. 14 as the New Zealanders seek to bridge a gap in their World Cup qualifying campaign in Oceania. The match at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium falls during the FIFA window for internationals, allowing New Zealand to call on its overseas-based players. New Zealand is unbeaten after four matches in the third stage of Oceania qualifying for the 2014 World Cup. It played Tahiti earlier this month and will not resume the four-team qualifying series until March. Football New Zealand said the Nov. 14 match will also be part of celebrations of 40 years of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and China. China and New Zealand drew 1-1 when they last met in March last year.

Guirado called up for Tests

Hooker Guilhem Guirado has been called up by France for the November Tests after Christopher Tolofua was banned for six weeks by European Rugby on Thursday, the French rugby federation said in a statement. Tolofua, 18, was sent off while playing for Toulouse in their Heineken Cup match against Italian side Treviso last Saturday for a dangerous tackle on Fabio Semenzato. Toulouse said they will appeal against the decision which rules the hooker out until Dec. 3. “Guilhem has had a good league start and has joined us to replace Christopher,” France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. Guirado has won 15 caps and was part of the France squad at the World Cup finals last year, playing in one group stage game against Canada. France play Australia at Stade de France on Nov. 10, then Argentina a week later in Lille. Samoa are last up back in Paris on Nov. 24.

Curl surrenders to police

Richard Curl, banned for life last month by USA Swimming, surrendered to police on Thursday after being charged with child abuse over allegations of a four-year sexual relationship with a teen swimmer. Curl, 63, was released on US$50,000 bond and faces a Nov. 16 preliminary hearing in Rockville, a Maryland suburb of Washington. The felony charge would bring Curl up to 15 years in prison if he is convicted. Curl co-founded the Curl-Burke Swim Club, which has since changed its name to the Nation’s Capital Swim Club. Among his most famous pupils was Tom Dolan, a gold-medal swimmer at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and 2000 Sydney Olympics. Former Curl-Burke swimmer Kelley Davies Currin claims Curl began touching her inappropriately at age 13 in 1983 and his actions became more extensive over the next few years until her parents learned of the relationship.

Stern to step down in 2014

National Basketball Association (NBA) commissioner David Stern will stand down from his role in February 2014, after 30 years at the helm, the league said on Thursday. Glen Taylor, chairman of the NBA’s board of governors, told a news conference the board had authorized negotiations with NBA deputy commissioner Adam Silver to succeed Stern, who is the league’s longest-serving commissioner. Stern, 70, has presided over a period of expansion and growth for the NBA, both domestically and internationally, and last year concluded a new collective bargaining agreement with players after a five-month lockout. “I feel great, I am enjoying my job, but I am looking forward to doing other things. I’m standing down, not retiring. I told them that it’s been a great run, it will continue for another 15 months, that the league is in terrific condition,” Stern said during a news conference in New York. Stern’s departure date will mark the 30th anniversary of his takeover as commissioner from Larry O’Brien.

Farah eyes different double

Britain’s double Olympic champion Mo Farah could attempt a 10,000m-marathon double at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, his coach Alberto Salazar said. Farah thrilled a home crowd at the London Games in August when he became only the seventh man to complete the 5,000m-10,000m Olympic double. Salazar told BCC Sport that Farah, who will be 33 in four years’ time, could have lost a “little speed” over the 5,000m by then. “My guess is he will do a 10-marathon double. At Rio, that would be a good shot. We will have a look at the schedule, but if the 10 is first, he would go 10,000 and marathon,” Salazar said. Farah is to attempt to replicate his Olympic double at next year’s world championships in Moscow and could then make his marathon debut in the 2014 London race. However, Salazar added that there was no guarantee that Farah would move up to the marathon.

COA to tighten farmers’ subsidies rules

SUBSIDY REGULATIONS:：Following reports that subsidies account for up to 86 percent of the council’s annual budget, legislators called for checks on the fairness of the system

By Lee I-chia  /  Staff reporter

Tue, Dec 11, 2012 - Page 4

Council of Agriculture (COA) Minister Chen Bao-ji (陳保基) yesterday said that the council would propose an amendment to require elderly farmers to have engaged in active farming for at least six years before they can join the farmers’ insurance system and become eligible for the elderly farmers’ subsidies.

Last week, the Control Yuan rebuked the Executive Yuan, the council and the Ministry of the Interior, for having for overly lax qualifications regarding eligibility for elderly farmers’ monthly subsidies –— for which farmers older than 65 are eligible once they have paid into the farmers’ insurance system for at least six months and own at least 0.1 hectares of farmland.

Whether the farmers engage in farming is not taken into account.

The system has led to exorbitant expenditure, contravenes the original spirit of the pension, has caused an unbalanced deployment of social welfare, eaten into budgets for agricultural development and increased the nation’s economic burdens, the Control Yuan said.

It also said that since the elderly farmers’ pension was initiated in 1995, in accordance with the Temporary Statute Regarding the Welfare Pension of Senior Farmers (老年農民福利津貼暫行條例), the number of farmers receiving subsidies has increased from about 360,000 to about 680,000 last year, pushing expenditure to about NT$49.6 billion (US$1.7 billion) each year.

At a meeting of the Legislative Yuan’s Economics Committee yesterday to review the council’s budget, several legislators criticized the council for the loose standards of the farmers’ pension system and asked the minister for solutions.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Ting Shou-chung (丁守中) questioned how the council could promote agricultural development when it spends about NT$49.6 billion on elderly farmers’ subsidies and NT$11.3 billion on fallow farmland subsidies each year — about NT$61 billion on subsidies alone, which accounts for nearly 86 percent of the council’s budget.

Among the 160,000 farmers that have applied for the fallow land subsidy, 58 percent are not qualified to join the farmers’ insurance system he said, adding that he suspects some of these “farmers” are only keeping their land to earn a living solely through subsidies.

Other legislators questioned how many farmers receiving the elderly farmers’ subsidy were engaged in farming, and urged the council to carry out a thorough check of farmers’ qualifications.

Chen said that while the fallow farmland revitalization project is scheduled to begin next year, the council will submit a proposal in the next legislative session to change regulations to require elderly farmers to have been members of the farmers’ insurance system for at least six years to qualify for a subsidy.

 Tunisia seeks way between unrest and uncertainty - Taipei Times

Tunisia seeks way between unrest and uncertainty

Nearly five months after a popular uprising swept former Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali from power in the first days of the “Arab Spring” Tunisia looks to rebuild an economy mired in political uncertainty.

Tunisia, used to posting at least 5 percent annual growth, faces stagnation this year as the authorities try to meet rising aspirations, hold elections and limit the fallout from unrest in neighbor Libya.

Unemployment, which ultimately drove the unrest against the old regime, could reach 20 percent of the workforce this year, up from 13 percent last year, the government admits.

“The revolution is making existing problems even worse in dramatic fashion at a difficult time,” Tunisian economist Mohamed Ben Ramdhane said. “Instability is hurting tourism and investors don’t like unstable conditions.”

Since Tunisia’s popular revolt sparked the region-wide Arab Spring, the country has regained relative calm, but tensions remain: There are strikes, fear of al--Qaeda and of the Libyan crisis on its borders bringing thousands of refugees.

On the political front, a transitional government is still in place, but is at pains to meet electoral deadlines and hand over power.

The longer the uncertainty remains, the slower the return of tourists, who supported about 400,000 jobs in a sector accounting for nearly 7 percent of GDP.

With official numbers forecasting a 41 percent drop in tourists and a 48 percent drop in revenues, this year’s tourist season will be sluggish.

Foreign investors are skittish. Direct foreign investment, a key driver for job growth, crashed 25 percent over the first four months of the year compared to the same period last year, according to the Tunisian foreign investment agency.

Some analysts say there are positive signs despite the problems.

Exports — electrical goods, agriculture, textiles — increased 11 percent in the first quarter of the year and the harvest outlook seems promising.

Meanwhile, the international community has promised US$40 billion to support democratic change in the Arab world.

Here's a Smartphone You Can Wash - With Soap

Fear Not, Germophobes: This Kyocera Smartphone Is Soap and Water Friendly

Do you ever think about the fact that you touch your smartphone all day long and set it on unfamiliar surfaces — and rarely do anything to clean it except to wipe it on your sleeve? It's a nightmare for germophobes, but this new phone from Kyocera is designed to hold up to the vigorous washing every smartphone likely needs.

The Digno Rafre(we're not sure what it means) is designed with an extra-tough glass front and "self-healing" back panel to minimize scratches, and the screen can even be used with wet hands — so you can answer texts while in the middle of a wash. It's definitely waterproof, of course, and the coatings used are safe against hand soap.

Unfortunately, this particular device is only availablein Japan on carrier KDDI — but if the idea of having a phone in the bubble bath appeals to you, maybe you can have it imported.

How to extend an Android’s battery life

AndroidPhone_Apr17_BAndroid phones are turning the smartphone industry on its head with a bundle of great new features and functionality. However, many of the features and applications available on the Android device are real battery drainers. Even though Android phones’ batteries are growing bigger with every passing year, they are simply not keeping pace with all the power-hungry applications and hardware. If you want to prolong your Android phone’s battery life, you need to manage your device’s power consumption. Here are some tips to get you started.

Adjust display settings

Are you using auto-brightness display? While it sounds convenient to have your Android phone adjust the brightness on its own, this feature actually sets the brightness level higher than you really need. Save your battery by setting the brightness manually – you can always tweak it when you have to. Reduce the screen timeout display, too, so that your phone screen goes back to black faster when not in use, saving even more power.

Activate power saving mode

This is a pretty handy feature found in high-end Android phones. Power saving mode automatically limits your phone’s processor and display to use as little power as possible without turning off critical functions. You’ll still have access to basic apps, such as texting, calling, the calculator, web browsing, and Facebook. And this feature can be set to automatically activate when your Android phone’s battery drops to a certain level, so make sure you use it!

Uninstall apps

When was the last time you actually cleaned up your Android device’s installations? Navigate to Settings and Apps to find a complete list of all your applications. You can save a huge amount of storage space by getting rid of unused apps. This, in turn, will stop the processor from running these apps in the background, giving your battery a little more life.

Organize the home screen

Most Android phone users don’t realize that a cluttered home screen sucks away their battery life as well. Stash away the widgets you don’t need and ditch the live wallpapers, since animated backgrounds consume a lot of power.

Turn off vibrations

Vibration lets you know about incoming calls, messages, and notifications. But in some cases too many vibrations can be an unnecessary battery killer. You can eliminate redundant vibrations such as keypresses by turning them off on the Language & Input settings screen. While you’re at it, turn off the sound on keypress to boost saving capabilities further.

Hide notifications

As in the case of vibrations, sometimes notifications can burn away your battery, especially if you have installed a number of applications that are desperate for your attention every few hours. So ask yourself these questions: Do you need to know every time someone posts to or comments on your Facebook page? Do you want to hear about the latest deals and offers from your application? If not, do your battery justice and turn off the needless notifications.

Use location services wisely

Some apps like Google Maps require you to turn on location services to display your surroundings and give you directions. But location service chips away your battery life very quickly and you should turn it on only for as long as you need to. Either switch to lower accuracy or turn it off, and you can save a lot of power.

Battery shortage can be a frustrating issue for Android phone users. In extreme cases, you can invest in a spare battery to ensure continued use. To learn more about how to preserve battery life on your Android devices, give us a call.

You read that right, researchers at the Tokyo University of Science in Japan have developed a way to create batteries using sugar. It's an alternative power source for batteries that may soon replace the common lithium ion batteries used today. Current rechargeable battery designs, like those found inside smartphones, are typically made from lithium, a finite resource, but high demand and its scarcity drives prices up. Furthermore, the process to obtain lithium isn't very good for the environment to say the least. However, by heating sugar at extremely high temperatures, it can be converted to hard carbon, which can then be used to create sodium ion batteries. Continue reading for a video and more information.

According to the research group: "The supply of sodium is unlimited. Also, sodium ion batteries can be made using iron, aluminum, and sodium, rather than cobalt or copper as before. What's more, our results show that battery capacity can be increased simply by using carbon made from sugar as the anode. The Komaba Group on Tokyo has achieved a 20% increase in storage capacity using sugar over traditional lithium batteries. Sodium ion batteries won't be commercially available for at least five years, but we say: bring on the sugar."

The impending fall of the earth was quick.
You saw the end coming so you licked your lips,
Said " if I'm going out like a light, then I'm going out with a bang,
Put the gun to the sun's head and one single shot rang,
The universe collapsed from the explosion of the stars,
From planet x to Pluto to Jupiter to mars,
Everything burned without an atmosphere,
And id do it ll again just for you my dear.

Valentine's, Love

January 19, 2009
More by this author
Broken, destroyed, smilies of mine.
My heart says keep close, while my body unwinds
I've forgotten to love and how that works
It feels like a deadly, diseased curse.

The season changes with my love
It's wings bright white, like those of a dove
Sometimes difficult to see, and often forgot
I often wonder what its like to be lost

The pieces of broken hearts surround like a sea
All the while, it rushes through me
Showing what its like to be free, and unseen
Often, it's wrong to even be a little keen

Every time on this day, I lay a rose on your grave
Wishing to god that the light would shine from my darkened cave
There's not enough wishes to grant mine, so that I could say
Happy Valentine's, my love. Enjoy another lonely day.

To Ponder

November 28, 2010
Sunny days,

I view with darkness.
Cloudless nights,
I see no beauty.

There is something remarkably un-markable,

that comes from fear.

A certain unrecognized beauty.

Us people...

Tend to point out the obvious,

As if we had to go through deep thought,

In order to come to our conclusion.

While in reality,

At least a thousand people

Have already thought that thought,

Or just said what we've just heard ourselves say.

Looking at a flower,

And pointing out its beauty,

Isn't remarkable.

Its ugly in its cliche!

Flowers reveal its true beauty all on the outer layer,

And you can nurture them with the proper amounts of water, soil, sugar...

But it still dies.

While on the other hand

A tree will be passed a hundred times,

And not looked at once.

And we wonder why the willow weeps ? . . .

Trees can take care of themselves.

They are strong, and never work only to fulfill their own benefit.

And yet,

We don't give them a glance to admire their beauty,

We don't invite them to play,

We cut them down,

And never even count their rings...

Trees in every angle hold beauty...

The strong planted roots,

Which holds it in place.

The steady trunk,

Which carries pureness to the life of the tree.

And the leaves,

Which sees only the view of land we wish we could see.

In Rain,
Is happiness,
In Clouds,
Is potential,
And in fear,
Is L O V E <3

The last 10 seconds of advertising is Jordan's "Walk in the Clouds", even though the audience had never seen a basketball game, also lamented in his superb skills. This ad is not only proof of Jordan has a special ability to fly, also hinted at his feet and the shoes are also necessarily linked to this. In this ad, that magical guy is the famous NBA sports star Michael & middot; Jordan, his feet a pair of sneakers is the famous brand "Nike." Before retirement, Jordan ???????: "Phil & middot; Knight and Nike turned me into a fantasy figure." This is the inside of the Knight "Nike," the founder, he put a small company into a large group, the once unknown superstar Michael Jordan pushed to the position. failing athletes 1938 year an ordinary boy born in the United States, and then, like most of their peers, he likes sports, playing basketball, baseball, running, his name is Phil & middot; Knight, as a general ordinary young man, his Adidas, Puma brand is very familiar with this kind of sports, but the unexpected is, is this extraordinary young man, after creating a The new brand - Nike, Adidas dominance even more than in the sports field. Knight always liked Retro jordans for sale sports, his high school paper almost entirely with sports-related, and even universities have chosen is the headquarters of the US Track and Field - University of Oregon. Although Knight likes sports, but only a mediocre score of 1 mile Runners, his worst score of 4 minutes 13 seconds, almost did not enter the ranks of world-class athletes (score of 4 points), and like him almost Too many people! But fortunately so, otherwise we would not see today a great entrepreneur. In Oregon, Knight met his lifelong mentor, is his coach Bill & middot; Bowerman. Bowerman 1950s had a row to break the world marathon record, Eugene, Oregon, and thus also famous. He is extremely ambitious man, bent to make their sports teams than any other team. Training and competition, the athlete's foot disease is the most common offenders, Bowerman he wanted to design a shoe, the bottom light and sound support, small friction and stability, thus reducing athletes foot pain, get a good result. So, Bowerman designed the pieces of sneakers pattern. He found several shoe companies, but no one cares about him, ask yourself altogether stubborn Bowerman cobbler, learned shoemaking, in the last Games, the athletes put on his handmade by his appearance ugly but lightweight and comfortable shoes, ran the results are good ranking than any previous game. After graduation, Knight continued to pursue MBA degree from Stanford University, and Bowerman continued to do track and field c cheap jordans for sale oach and athletic footwear design in college. 1960, the Knight graduated. During his investigation report mentioned in a lot of sports star and ordinary athletes actually have a common goal: to defeat Adidas, so that more and more athletes wear the Japanese production of high quality and low price of running shoes --TIGERS (Tiger cards ??. Knight after graduation decided to look for an opportunity to Japan. exhibition in Japan, Knight met in Japan Tiger sports shoes manufacturers, he claimed to be from the United States. " Blue Ribbon Campaign Company, "Tiger just need an agent to enter the US market, so he took the agency gave the inexperienced young man. got to find the right agent Knight Bao immediately Coleman, both of them contributed $ 500, consisting of a real blue ribbon sports company, to become the exclusive distributor of Tiger sports shoes in the United States, began the initial start. This "Blue Ribbon" is the "Nike" predecessor. brilliant Nike has just started, there was no warehouse, Knight Knight father put stock in the basement of the house, he and Bowerman two people a tube of finance, a tube designed to co-ordinate very understanding proved, he predicted the market is correct, this low-priced athletic shoes sold well in the first year they sold $ 8,000 worth of goods. 1968 years after Martin Coleman had CORTEZ restructuring Tiger sneakers shoes become the best-selling products, and Knight for the company's developmen Cheap air jordan 12 ovo t and lay a solid financial foundation. The company's business began to improve them. soon, Japan's total Company products sell well aware, we ask them to transfer after delivery. As a result, Bowerman their cost will be greatly improved, and had to redouble their efforts to sell. But Japan is also often not on time delivery, and even the first-class product secretly stay in Japan sales, the defective to the United States. Once they receive a number of shoes Bowerman, customers wear two weeks, on the separation of the upper soles and they had to swallow in order to maintain credibility, timely returned to the customer. even more exasperating is that Tiger also sent representatives to Eugene, Bowerman offered to buy 51% of the company shares, and accounted for two seats in the five directors , if you deny this request, immediately stop the supply. Nissho create difficulties suffered unbearable Bowerman and Knight, flatly rejected the non-parts requirements. Knight and Bowerman decided to open one of their own company, he named Nike, which is based on the name of the Greek god of victory and taken while NIKE name, in the eye of the West was very lucky, easy to read and easy to remember, you can scream loud They quickly launched a "Nike" name sports shoes, and mesh beautifully designed trademark of the famous Nike "a hook" trademark eye-catching, with a visually appealing, as well as sports shoes and other sporting goods should has the kind of Cheap air jordan 12 for sale online free shipping dynamic, a symbol of strength and speed. In order to do publicity, Knight and his wife hand-printed T-shirts to Nike Olympic preliminaries of the field distribution, but saw people ask : "Who is NIKE? "But in the game, Knight a little way out of the limelight, to be persuaded to use this new shoes marathon athlete finished fourth to seventh, while wearing Adidas shoes, athletes are eligible for the top three in qualifying . name in the sports shoe industry, Nike is facing fierce competition Knight and Bowerman aware of: If you can not develop a product better than it is now a new product, we did not want to increase market share. And, so far, the US footwear manufacturers produced far less than the former Federal Republic of Germany, Adidas shoes foreign company. 1975 year on a Sunday morning, Bowerman in baked waffle iron mold playing a kind of urethane rubber, used it to make a new type of shoe soles, in this waffle-style shoes fitted with small rubber round nails, making this the sole elastic than the market Elastic other popular shoes are strong. This looks very simple product improvement, become the starting point for Knight and Bowerman career. 1976, Nike $ 8.3 million the previous year soared to $ 14 million. It's like wildfire, as developed, the company developed a new style running shoes and spend huge amounts of money. In these improvements, Nike Air gives the left a deep impression. Nike Air heel is used to embed the inflata cheap jordans online ble cushion, it is technically a trump card shoe company. It kept longer than the elastic foam sponge or rubber. Wear comfortable, smooth. Now, almost all Nike produced authentic Nike sports shoes are fitted with such cushion. Interestingly, consumers are not aware of this mystery, however, but this is exactly what Nike high-quality, high-performance high quality lies. how to do it? sales planners then moving on advertising some brains, and soon a very unique yet attractive posters appeared in a Nike shoe heel open two "windows", people through the "window" to see the soles of Nike Air. painting posters greatly attract consumers, and enable them to understand at a glance than at Nike sneakers came out on top of the other. next two years, "Nike" followed on sales quadrupled to late 1970s, Nike has nearly 100 researchers, many of whom have biological, chemical, biological experiments science, engineering and technology degree, industrial design, chemistry and a variety of related fields. This strong research strength developed more than 140 different styles of products, many products are the most innovative and market the most advanced technology. These styles are Depending on the foot type, weight, running speed, training programs, gender and skill level designs. these different styles, different prices and multi-purpose products, attracting thousands runners and make them feel Nike is to provide the most complete variety of running shoes manufacturer, millions all kinds, runners of all abilities have a notion. never rely stop corporate philosophy, to the 1979 Nike through the planning and the strong market for new products to sell, the market share of 33%, and finally squeezed into the original by the Adidas, Puma and TIGER built "iron triangle", a sales star. By 1981, its market share even reached 50 percent, ahead of Adidas, while Knight himself running into the "Forbes" magazine coveted US 400 list of the richest people. & nbsp; Nike culture "sports, performances, free and easy freedom of sportsmanship" is the pursuit of personalized Nike's corporate culture. This has the distinct characteristics of the corporate culture from the traditional concept of corporate image, Nike adventurous pioneering companies in their verdant company is located in Oregon, has been cultivating a well-designed culture, a veteran manager of Nike once recalled: "It was like working in a environment full of hand, foot and brotherhood happy to drink with colleagues, stop talking about sports, and active and self-proclaimed anti-traditional. characters. "Every six months, the Knight of the management team to meet and discuss strategy. The quarreling parties to "tit for tat" with. Knight always encourage confrontation, or even encourage confrontation, and he, like everyone else, to accept other people's loud accusations. Nike business location, like the campus, have a forest, jogging trails, lakes, football field. Knight wanted to create a peaceful working environment, he thinks the world has confused enough, working hours should like home free. of the famous Nike ad strategy, also showed vitality different from others. Type of Nike athletes looking different from Adidas, they maverick, strong personality, irritability, aggressive,. Such as tennis star John McEnroe, people always see his rage on the tennis court, with the authority of their quarrel. There are tennis star Andre Agassi, his beard, long hair disheveled, the jeans cut pants as tennis, tennis and this denim pants will become Nike's specialty products. With these big sports stars QUICKER advertising, Nike sports shoes are no longer just a sports shoe, and became idols and symbols of social status. 1984, Nike endorsers strategy began to re-establish their own image. He and Jordan signed a five-year contract, but also the conditions to grant Jordan Nike's stock, as well as an unprecedented courtesy, to use Jordan's name on the Nike sports shoes. Almost all of them think that this is a fool talented, but a spokesperson for it. But Knight insisted on doing so, the impact of Nike Jordan is enormous. Jordan, who embodies the energy, the prestige, the superb level of competition and exciting sports spirit, his ideal weight than any Nike logo. With the Jordan, Nike has created a new brand, "soar Jordan" (AIRJORDEN), producing colorful basketball shoes and matching apparel. Advertising campaign "soar Jordan" is the success, but also the brand war victory in the first annual sales as high as $ 100 million. Jordan first wear the sneakers have been subjected to the prohibition of NBA officials, who believe that a violation of the league's dress code. Nike keenly feel this is a golden opportunity to conduct public relations activities, then launched an advertising solidarity, declared that "soar Jordan" was banned because it "revolutionary design." Results Nike and "soar Jordan" boarded the cover of countless newspaper headlines, NBA siege. Finally ending in favor of Nike ended. Advertising with athletes is that many people will think of, but the most successful, only Knight! And that countless people familiar "JUST & nbsp; DO IT", the first "JUST & nbsp; DO IT" hero advertising is sitting in a wheelchair track and field athlete of Clegg & middot; Brown Xiu, advertising slogan that appears in the black background of anti-white. Slogan did not read aloud, but it evokes a generation resonance. It is reminiscent of an obese man to postpone his weight loss plan, staff were busy by other things that upset the fitness activities and participate in sports activities dream was all the affairs of man interrupted. It was like Nike urging people to exercise, immediately go to action, to achieve. The secret of success style star made clever use of the model of the business strategy. respected "Care & Share" humanistic management philosophy.

P:R Approved: More of Kevin Wada’s X-Men Coutoure!

Note: One of the most popular posts in recent memory has been Kevin Wada‘s high-fashion take on Marvel’s mutants, and he’s back again with a new line of outfits featuring some classic (and surprising) faces from the X-Men corner of the Marvel U. Pay special detail to the fine detail put into each piece… and enjoy! – Chris A.

Kitty Pryde / Shadowcat

17 comments on “P:R Approved: More of Kevin Wada’s X-Men Coutoure!
  1. Maybe I’m too low brow or something, but these don’t do much for me at all. They’re fine artwork to be sure but are just too far removed from the comic book style that I prefer. I guess Kitty Pride is OK, but are those colored squares part of the outfit or just some weird representation of her powers? Also, the tone in some of these seem a bit erotic…almost at Barbarella levels.

  2. Awesome stuff! I particularly like the take on Lilandra and Callisto (Callisto’s shoes are seriously superfab)

  3. Don’t know about the designs as fitting reflections of the characters, but the illustrations themselves are great.

    So is #3 supposed to be Psylocke? If so, is that a psychic parasol she’s carrying?

  4. Wow, I love these. There are subtle and dramatic hints about their characters. Masterfully drawn. I like Kitty’s – although I wish there was a hint of dragon in there too!

  5. I need Callisto’s snake boots in my life, and Lilandra’s hair translated into an avant garde headpiece is inspired. I like these a lot, but Kitty’s is perhaps too literal. This would make for such a cool challenge. Most of the time, practicality and personality are key judging points, but a take on what a character represents rather than what they would necessarily wear would be interesting to see, especially if you put it into a high fashion context.

    Or maybe I’m just suffering from withdrawal from a extremely unsatisfying season of Project Runway.

  6. I love Kevin’s work.
    I think it’s worth noting, however, that he was doing this X-Girl-fashion-illustration project in conjunction with another artist named Max Wittert (who was his table-mate at the Alternate Press Expo in SF last month), and that Max’s drawings are also really excellent.

    You can see his contributions on his blog at:

  7. While I think the art is quite good, I don’t think it fits the characters much. Callisto would not wear those heels. Too hard to fight in. I also don’t think Karma would wear such a short skirt. Especially with the artificial leg.

Texas Tech football camp

June 3rd was the 4th anniversary of Terrell Daily Photo.

Texas Tech held a football camp Sunday in Rockwall, TX.  The temperatures were near 100 degrees, so I was only out there for about 30 minutes. The camp attracted athletes from all over the Metroplex and northeast Texas.  Here are a few shots from the camp and there are more on the Facebook page.  On New Years Day I was able to photograph the Tech bowl game played in the Cotton Bowl.

Tomorrow night the Kaufman 7 on 7 passing league begins. Terrell will have two teams playing.  It will be interesting to see who is out there for Terrell.  They graduated their top receiver's and their top underclassman  transferred.

Looking for pictures from Friday nights Terrell High School graduation ceremony?  Contact Don Johnson at Tribune to purchase photos of the special night.

Skin infections in dogs, known as pyoderma, are usually caused by a type of normal skin bacteria known as staphylococcus intermedius. This bacteria is always present on the skin and the mucous membranes but in some cases it becomes rampant on the skin and leads to severe infections. Often these conditions include an immune related disease in the dog, malnutrition, injury or trauma or other change in the dog's environment or diet that causes the dog to become stressed.

There are several different types of pyoderma that can be found on a dog. They are categorized by the level of tissues they involve and range from the surface infections known as surface pyodermas to the very deep infections that can be caused by excessive scratching and biting of the infected area. They are also determined to be primary, or the cause of the infection, or secondary, the result of some other condition or wound that then allowed the bacteria access to the dog's skin.

Surface pyoderma is first noted as scaling of the skin, often around the area where the hair emerges from the skin. The scaling may seem to be attached to the hair and often can be slid off down the hair follicle. There may be small pimple like pustules on the area or the dog may even experience hair loss where the scaling is heavy. Surface pyoderma is more common in short haired breeds and typically the infected or inflamed area of the skin is on the head, neck and body, not on the legs or tail. The inflammation of the skin causes the hairs to stand up very straight, even if they normally were flat against the dog's skin. In addition the hair can easy be pulled from the skin with just the fingers, and this is important in diagnosing this condition from other skin conditions such as flea allergies. In the longer haired collie breeds the same trends can be noted but there are rarely the pustules associated with the red scaly patches. Hair loss will occur across small and large areas of the body and head.

In deep pyoderma caused by the staphylococcus intermedius the area will be crusty, have a discharge of puss and blood and be very horrible smelling. The skin will be very painful and sensitive and the dog will be highly stressed with the condition. They areas affected by deep pyoderma will lose hair but will also have lesions, swelling and inflammation and be very hot to the touch.

Superficial pyoderma caused by staphylococcus intermedius can be treated with topical and oral antibiotics usually prescribed for up to 30 days but chronic conditions may need 8-12 weeks of antibiotic treatment to ensure that the problem has been corrected. Deep pyoderma will require regular, frequent bathing with antibacterial shampoos, professional grooming to clip the coat and keep the dog free from any possible superficial pyoderma problems, oral and topical antibiotic treatments as well as testing for any other complications that may be leading to the development of the deep pyoderma.

Germany apologises for bugging Afghan minister

April 26th, 2008 - 9:41 pm ICT by admin

Berlin, April 26 (DPA) German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier phoned his Afghan counterpart Rangin Dadfar Spanta Saturday to apologise for the monitoring of an Afghan minister by the German foreign intelligence service, the BND. Both sides had expressed the view that the affair - the monitoring of e-mail correspondence between Afghan Trade and Industry Minister Amin Farhang and a German journalist - would not impact on “the good trusting relations” between Germany and Afghanistan, a foreign ministry spokeswoman said.

A week ago it was made known that the BND had spied on correspondence between Farhang and Susanne Koelbl, a journalist working for Der Spiegel news magazine.

BND President Ernst Uhrlau apologised to Koelbl for the activities of his agents, which experts insist contravenes German law.

In an article written before the Steinmeier-Spanta phone call and released Saturday ahead of publication, Der Spiegel reported that Spanta had in fact been outraged by the revelation.

“I am angry and repulsed by these methods that should not take place in a democracy,” Spanta told the weekly.

He expressed shock that Germany, which he saw as a close ally, could take action of this kind.

The German foreign ministry said Steinmeier was still seeking to contact Farhang, who studied in Germany and speaks fluent German, personally to express his apologies.

On Friday, Chancellor Angela Merkel ordered an inquiry into the affair and said that the officials concerned should be disciplined.

Three senior officials had been removed from their posts and Merkel had ordered an internal investigation, spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm said.

Another German daily, the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung, reported Saturday that other Afghan ministers feared they had been monitored as well by the BND, which had allegedly eavesdropped on Farhang’s phone calls too.

Six of the 20 Afghan cabinet ministers had spent part of their lives in Germany and spoke German, the newspaper said. Farhang holds a doctorate from the University of Cologne and taught at the University of Bochum before returning home.

Three changes as Ruddock's Ireland U20s aim to ruin France's Grand Slam

The Sean O’Brien-captained Irish are targeting their third win of the championship.

The promising Cian Kelleher has been moved to fullback.

IRELAND U20 HEAD coach Mike Ruddock has made three changes to his starting team ahead of the clash with France on Friday night.

The home side will claim a Grand Slam if they can overcome the Irish challenge at the Stade Maurice Trelut in Tarbes [KO 7.55pm Irish time], with Ruddock’s side focused on claiming their third win of the campaign.

Munster academy play Alex Wootten comes into the backline in place of David Busby, who started the previous four games at fullback. As a result of Wootten’s inclusion on the right wing, the impressive Cian Kelleher shifts into the fullback position.

Ruddock has gone for a new halfback pairing in Bruff scrum-half Jack Cullen and Lansdowne out-half Conor McKeon, who replace Nick McCarthy and Ross Byrne respectively.

Cullen is another Munster academy member, having joined the youth system at the start of the season after developing with Saracens. Similarly, Wootten is a product of the Exiles structure in England, having had a spell with the Northampton Saints’ academy.

The positional switch for Kelleher is an exciting one, given the manner in which he performed at fullback against Italy last weekend following a first-half injury to Busby. The Lansdowne flyer will look to pick up where he left off against this powerful French side on Friday night.

Ireland U20 (v France): Cian Kelleher (Lansdowne, Leinster); Alex Wootten (Garryowen/Munster), Dan Goggin (Young Munster/Munster), Peter Robb (Old Belvedere, Leinster), Adam Byrne (UCD, Leinster); Conor McKeon (Lansdowne, Leinster), Jack Cullen (Bruff, Munster); Peter Dooley (Lansdowne, Leinster), Max Abbott (Cork Con, Munster), Rory Burke (Cork Con, Munster); Sean O’Brien (Galwegians, Connacht, capt.), Ross Malony; Peadar Timmins (both UCD, Leinster), Rory Moloney (Buccaneers/Connacht), Jack O’Donoghue (UL Bohs, Munster).

Replacements: Sean McNulty (UCD, Munster), Denis Coulsen (Lansdowne, Leinster), Oisin Heffernan (Lansdowne, Leinster), Stephen Gardiner (Lansdowne/Leinster), Frankie Taggart (Belfast ‘Quins, Ulster), Nick McCarthy, Ross Byrne (both UCD, Leinster), David Busby (QUB, Ulster).

User Rating 3.26 (34 votes)

Flat Tummy Water

By listening to the name you must be guessing what is this actually! Is it a kind of cutter which cuts down extra fat or a water which washes away fat! Chill guys, it is nothing like a cutter. Simply you can call it a ‘Miracle water’ which helps in weight loss. It is nothing but simple water added with certain ingredients which highlight its properties. A fit and attractive body is the willing of everyone. Flat Tummy Water not only makes you look good but is also necessary to keep you free from diseases and discomforts.

As it is also said; “A sound mind is in a sound body.” It means who are physically fit and active; are always seen with a conscious and brilliant mind. Today we will be knowing about these things like what is a fit body and how to gain it. Before talking this, we will talk about obesity; so that it will be easy for you readers to understand.

What is Obesity?

Obesity is made from the word ‘Obese’ which can be defined as ; when ones body weight raises more than as calculated in BMI, then the person can be said to be obese. In this, the accumulation of adipose tissue in body is very high which extends your body drastically. The fat of thighs, tummy, arms even the face area also develops giving you an ugly look. In this case, your body is not self-able to carry your own weight which is very bad.  In addition to that, it also gifts you certain ailments like rise of blood cholesterol, heart problems, stokes, joints disorder and so on. Actually, obesity is the key of all ailments. So, it you want to stay free from ailments; then better make your body fit.

What is Fitness?

Broadly saying, fitness is not only a good-looking physique; it is meant to the physical, mental, social and spiritual goodness. It’s a fact, our body cells respond in accordance with our mindset. You must have observed, the day when you feel sad, lone or depressed then you will feel inertly sick and weak. In order to stay fit, one should have a balanced life with a smile on face and confidence inside.

So, on the upper paragraphs, we described what is obesity and fitness. In the present era, 7 out of 10 are obese or unhealthy. In the obesity case, the most common one is heavy deposition of fat on the tummy area. It is called “Tummy fat”. In this, the area around your tummy and abdomen rises giving you an ugly look. It is also very bad for health as it is made with bad cholesterol which is like poison for one’s life. Many women take protein powder to remain healthy and fit though.

Treatment in Allopath:-

In the today’s world, everyone wants a quick and fast result which can be hazardous even. When some suffer from obesity, they undergo some drug medications and other treatments. In addition to a painful procedure, they are not good at all for future references. You must have heard about ‘Liposuction’. It is a surgical process in which the extra fat is surgically removed. It is a very long process with several conditions. Many opt with this only; it is a painful process and hands you to stay hospitalized till gets treated. In addition to this, it also gifts your several medications, injections and many more. For many this process is unaffordable; as many who are not financially well can’t go with this. Now, we will be talking about the cheapest and the eco-friendly method to treat your balloon like tummy! It is none other than “Flat Tummy Water”. Firstly we will describe its preparation and then its benefits.

Recipe for Flat Tummy Water:-

recipe for flat tummy water

  • Drinking water- 1 liter
  • Cucumber- 10-12 slices
  • Lemon- 1 medium-sized
  • Grated ginger- 1 teaspoon
  • Mint leaves- 5
  • Basil leaves- 5
  • Rock salt- 1 teaspoon

Methods of preparation-

  1. Take a glass jug and fill it with water.
  2. Add all the ingredients in it and mix well.
  3. Stir well and keep for overnight.
  4. Next day, drink this water on a regular interval so that you complete it in one day.
  5. Same day at night, prepare the water and keep it ready for next day usage.

Benefits of Flat Tummy Water:-

  • The Basil present in it strengthens your cardiovascular system and strengthens your immune system.
  • Cucumber is very low in calorie intake and rich in water and roughage. It cuts down extra fat and makes your tummy look healthy and attractive.
  • Ginger is well-known for its infection resistance capability. It makes your body strong keeping you free from diseases.
  • It activates your body cells thus subtracting extra fat deposits from your body.
  • Being low in calorie intake, it quenches your thirst for junky food items making your posture look great.
  • It detoxifies your body system; acting as a cleanser to make it fit.
  • All the ingredients aids in liver cleansing; flushes out toxins keeping it healthy.
  • The ingredients present in it acts like a fat-cutter and cuts down extra fat from your tummy.

How to drink for the best results?

  • Stir well and strain it; have 2 glasses of this water after waking up.
  • 1 glass 30 minutes before a meal; most probably before lunch.
  • 1 glass before taking bath.
  • And 1 glass before going to bed.

How it works

They are low in calories and high in fiber, and help keep the body alkaline. Cucumbers are a perfect weight loss food.

Medical Research showed that when participants drank a hot beverage with ginger, they felt more full and had less chance of overeating.

They are high in pectin fiber, which helps suppress food cravings. It also helps the body eliminate waste products by cleansing and detoxifying it. Lemons are alkaline forming and will aid in weight loss.

You may not have thought of mint as an appetite suppressant, but it is. Not only will it give the water a refreshing flavor it will stop food cravings too.

Water is life. It keeps the body hydrated, which is important because dehydration can slow down the fat burning process. It lubricates joints and muscles during exercise and helps the blood supply oxygen to muscles. Water also helps feel full during meals, so we don’t overeat.

Does that flat tummy water really work?

I saw many people asking this question and one of the answers from Yahoo is actually what I wanted to share, so here is the answer:

In that, it’s probably a really tasty substitute for sodas, yes. But it won’t magically make the pounds come off; that happens pretty much solely through eating fewer calories than you exert. So obviously drinking fruit-infused water is going to be taking in fewer calories than, say, a can of cola (the FTW would have almost no calories at all, really).

But I wouldn’t use it as some sort of “I must have this and only this for a week” detox cleanse or something. For starters, the idea of detox is something of a myth – you have a liver which does a very fine job of doing that very thing anyway. And for seconds it would be an unhealthily low amount of calories to take in, and virtually no other nutrients. Yes, it would make you thinner because you’d be starving yourself. Duh.

If you were to use FTW let it be part of a balanced, healthy diet with the calories at least vaguely related to how much you exercise. It couldn’t do you any harm used that way.

It is the best way and sequence to have this Flat Tummy Water. One should continue it on regular basis and you will notice the results in the first month itself. Continue this as your daily routine and see the magic of this miracle water. So, take care and live well!

Shaun Hill @ the Walnut Tree, Abergavenny – Working with a Kitchen Great

When I was a commis I was given a book by a fellow chef. It was called ‘Cooking at Merchant House’, which is a fantastic book about the creations of Shaun Hill from his time in Ludlow. Roll on a few years and I’m reading ‘Tough cookies’. It’s a short informative read for any young aspiring chef. It has a brief bio and the four chefs talk about their kitchen tales. It shines light on the industry: the highs and more importantly lows. The book illustrates how the industry really is and in a gritty light it tells hardworking chefs tales.

The Walnut Tree

Roll on a few more years and my boss, Kit Chapman, who is close friends with Shaun, ate at the Walnut tree a few weeks back. On his return he described to me the food and his experience. I listened closely and when he suggested the idea of doing a stage I jumped at it.

The View from the kitchen window

I stayed at Ivy cottage beside the restaurant which is available as a holiday let as an extension of the Walnut tree. The restaurant and houses are surrounded by breath taking countryside and it is a very special destination. I worked for a day and half in the kitchen. If you’re serious about learning how to cook, the Walnut Tree is the place. No vac-pac machine, no water baths, no chemicals. It’s 100% cooking, passion, knowledge and execution. I was in awe of the cooking style and basic layout of the kitchen. It’s a small brigade comprised of 6 chefs, led by Shaun and head chef Roger. The whole team work very hard to create that special dining experience and the passion/pride is in every member of staff. The youngest person in the kitchen is 30 which made me feel young!

Our lunch was one of the best I’ve ever had- the flavours and cooking were spot on and it’s pretty amazing that Shaun is still cooking on the stove. His gentle manner comes across in the kitchen as it’s a great atmosphere to work in. I sometimes have chefs and waiters complain about long hours and here’s a man who smashes in lunch and dinner service, doing minimum 12 hour days. Shaun Hill, I for one take my hat off – for what you’ve done for the industry and what you continue to do at the Walnut Tree.
