Belstaff expands to Canada & Japan

Belstaff has opened its first standalone shop in Canada and while continuing its expansion efforts in Japan.

The British retailer’s debut Canadian store will be located in Yorkville Village, Toronto, and will open on September 1.

Billed as a pop-up by Belstaff, it will stock the heritage brand’s full menswear range, including outerwear, denim, footwear, accessories, eyewear and leather goods.

On the other side of the Pacific, Belstaff opened its fifth retail space in Tokyo, Japan with a concession in department store Hankyu Men.

It’s the latest opening for the retailer, which launched in Japan 18 months ago.

“Both openings represent the further strengthening of the roll-out of our strategy,” Belstaff chief executive Gavin Haig said.

Ackman's Pershing Square trims holdings of Beam

Ackman's Pershing Square trims holdings of Beam

BOSTON (Reuters) - Hedge fund manager William Ackman sold 7.3 million shares in Beam Inc this week, according to a regulatory filing on Friday, trimming his holdings three weeks after the share price spiked on news of a planned takeover by Japanese whiskey maker Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd

William Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management, speaks at the Partner Connect 2013 conference, sponsored by Thomson Reuters, in Boston April 5, 2013. REUTERS/Brian Snyder

Ackman’s $12 billion Pershing Square Capital Management sold 6 million shares of common stock at $83.28 on Thursday and sold 1.3 million shares of common stock at $83.36 on Friday, according to a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission late on Friday.

Pershing Square had been the single largest holder in Beam, the liquor unit spun out of Fortune Brands in 2011, owning 20.8 million shares at the end of the third quarter.

The share price spiked 25 percent on January 13 when Suntory offered to pay $13.6 billion in cash for the maker of Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark.

After this week’s sales, Pershing Square owns 8.3 percent of Beam’s outstanding shares, down from 12.7 percent previously.

Ackman saw his 3-1/2 year old investment in Beam pay off big this month when he and his investors earned roughly $375 million in one day after the acquisition news.

As an activist investor, Ackman invests in no more than one dozen companies at a time and often starts pulling his money out after certain targets are reached. Last year, he began paring his position in Canadian Pacific Railway, a big gainer in his portfolio.

LA Dodgers can sell media rights in blow to Fox

LA Dodgers can sell media rights in blow to Fox

WILMINGTON, Delaware (Reuters) - The judge overseeing the Los Angeles Dodgers bankruptcy said he will allow the team to begin a multibillion-dollar sale of future rights to broadcast the bankrupt team’s games, dealing a blow to its current broadcaster, Fox Sports.

Fox Sports spent two days in Delaware’s bankruptcy court trying to prove that the Dodgers’ move could destroy their regional sports network in the country’s No. 2 media market, which Fox argued was worth $1 billion.

Judge Kevin Gross said he would issue an opinion explaining his decision.

Fox’s attorney Gregory Werkheiser said the company would appeal.

The Dodgers expect the sale of the media rights for games beginning in 2014 to boost the value of the team, which is being auctioned in the coming months.

The team argued Fox was unharmed and the Dodgers were merely starting the sale process 10 months earlier than stipulated in its current media contract.

The media rights sale was put in motion by last month’s agreement by team owner Frank McCourt to put the Dodgers on the auction block to end a bitter feud with Major League Baseball. In return, MLB agreed to drop its opposition to the team selling its media rights.

Gross said he might issue a short stay of his ruling to give Fox time for an appeal.

With the judge’s ruling, the Dodgers will enter an exclusive negotiating period with Fox, a unit of News Corp, until January 14. After that they will open negotiations to other parties.

The team is keen to drive up bidding for the media rights by pitting Fox against arch-rival Time Warner Cable, which recently snatched rights to Los Angeles Lakers basketball games from Fox.

At the same time, initial bids for the team are due next month in what could be one a $1 billion sale, making it one of the priciest in baseball history.

Potential bidders include basketball legend Magic Johnson, hedge-fund titan Steven Cohen, media mogul Mark Cuban, California financier Ron Burkle and sports agent and Los Angeles businessman Dennis Gilbert, sources have said.

The judge said it was a “tremendous irony” that just months ago Fox and the Dodgers were allies.

The two reached an agreement in June worth an estimated $3 billion to renew Fox Sports contract. That deal was rejected by baseball’s commissioner, Bud Selig, and days later the team filed for bankruptcy, unable to make payroll.

Now the Dodgers want to use the latitude of bankruptcy to break its Fox contract to jumpstart the media rights sale and drive up the value of the business.

Robert Thompson, a former president of Fox Sport national networks, testified on Thursday that changing the sale timing was creating uncertainty among Fox’s advertisers, production companies and talent.

The dispute comes as regional sports networks have become hot media properties thanks to the unique programming offered by sporting events.

If Fox lost the Dodgers, cable distributors such as Comcast might drop one of Fox’s two Southern California networks, according to Thompson.

“It would have a broad impact on our business, not just in Southern California, but across the country,” he said.

The Dodgers attacked Fox’s contentions and argued their claims of harm fell away under questioning.

“Their grand, broad statements all disintegrated with the slightest pushing,” said Bruce Bennett, the Dodgers attorney.

“All we’re doing is shifting the timing.”

The bankruptcy case is In re: Los Angeles Dodgers LLC, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No.11-12010.

Russia and Georgia have no diplomatic relations. There are no commercial flights between Moscow and Tbilisi. And the Kremlin has made no secret of the fact that it wants to remove Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili from power.

But nevertheless, one of Russia's top public figures plans to visit Georgia soon and will no doubt be greeted with all the pomp and circumstance of a head of state. That public official is Patriarch Kirill. No date has been announced for the visit yet, although the Moscow Patriarchate says it will happen "by the end of this year."

Visiting Georgia so soon after his high-profile trip to Ukraine earlier this month is anything but subtle. Both countries are governed by pro-Western leaders who are desperately trying to navigate their way out of Moscow's orbit, and both have large, devout, Orthodox Christian populations.

Writing in "The Moscow Times" this week, Fyodor Lukyanov, editor in chief of the journal "Russia In Global Affairs," argues that with his visit to Ukraine, Kirill has emerged as an important new weapon in the Kremlin's foreign-policy arsenal:

The visit by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church showed that there's a new public figure in Russia whose political weight and diplomatic skills surpass those of the secular authorities. He combines tact and kind civility with a firmness of his ideological positions, and his address to worshippers calling for unity and reconciliation is a demonstration of the 'soft,' non-state power that Moscow has long been criticized for lacking.

Shortly after Kirill returned from his visit, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev wrote a blisteringly critical letter to his Ukrainian counterpart Viktor Yushchenko informing him that Moscow would hold off on sending an ambassador to Kyiv.

The next day, Lukyanov notes, Kirill sent his own letter to Yushchenko -- thanking him for his hospitality during the visit:

Not only did Kirill thank the Ukrainian leader for his attention and help in organizing the visit, he also noted that 'despite all of the difficulties, Ukraine is successfully consolidating its statehood.' His letter to the president concludes: 'May God’s blessing be with the people of beautiful Ukraine, with its leaders and military, and with all of us.'

The patriarch's visit to Ukraine was hardly free of controversy. Thousands protested, arguing that he was using an ostensibly spiritual visit as cover for a political mission to further the Kremlin's political agenda.

Kirill did little to allay these fears when, in a speech on Ukrainian television on July 28, he argued that Russians and Ukrainians were one people. He also implored Ukrainians not to sacrifice their common values with Russia in the pursuit of closer ties with Europe, a clear reference to Kyiv's efforts to join NATO and the European Union.

Nevertheless, I think Lukyanov is right about Moscow's strategy, which is more sophisticated than a simple game of good cop-bad cop:

The patriarch addresses his congregation, which by its very definition should not be divided by citizenship or state loyalties. Medvedev appeals directly to the Ukrainian people, letting them know in no uncertain terms that the dialog with their political elite has become unproductive. In fact, the symbolic meaning of not sending a new Russian ambassador to Kiev also ties into this desire to reduce official dialog to a purely technical level.

And there are strong hints that a similar gambit is on the horizon with Georgia.

Back in July, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin met a Georgian Orthodox Church delegation in Moscow. Here's the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on that meeting:

"In the current, uneasy situation existing in relations between the two countries, cultural-humanitarian ties between the churches of Russia and Georgia continue to be an important channel for maintaining tradition of friendship and mutual understanding between our people."

The delegation also met with Kirill, who called their visit "a new positive step towards brotherly relations of our churches and improvement of relations between our countries."

The phrase "brotherly relations," of course, has historically meant very different things for Tbilisi than it has for Moscow.

Illinois Appellate Court Reverses Trial Court’s Finding Regarding Borrowed Employee Status; Hastings v. Jefco Equipment Co., Inc.

Deirdre Hastings was an ironworker employed by Area Erectors Inc.On March 5, 2007, Hastings was unloading steel beams from the bed of a flatbed truck. The steel beams were hooked to a 90-ton hydraulic crane, which would move the steel onto the building that was being constructed.

The crane was rented from the defendant Jefco Equipment Co. The crane was being operated by Greg Windbiel, who performed the work for Jefco, although he was  employed by Area.

As the beam was being guided by Hastings, the beam struck her on the chest, knocking her to the ground with the beam falling on her right leg, breaking it.

In the lawsuit that followed, Hastings alleged that Jefco was liable for her injuries. Jefco moved for summary judgment, which was granted by the trial judge stating that Windbiel was a borrowed employee of Area making Area, not Jefco, liable for Windbiel’s actions. Secondly, the trial judge stated that Area was liable because of the legal principle of premises liability.  From that order, Hastings appealed to the Illinois Appellate Court.

The appellate court found that there were genuine issues of material fact as to whether Windbiel was a borrowed employee for purposes of employer liability.

The appellate court looked at six factors in Windbiel’s employment with Area:

  1. The right of Area to discharge Windbiel or of Jefco to substitute an employee;
  2. The manner in which the performance of Windbiel’s duties were directed;
  3. The terms of the contract between Jefco and Area;
  4. The method by which Windbiel was paid;
  5. The duration of employment; and
  6. The level of skill that the employment required.

Area was not free to fire Windbiel. Area rented the crane from Jefco, and Jefco made certain that if Area had been unhappy with Windbiel’s performance,  it could have hired another company in order to get a new crane operator.  That fact alone would defeat a borrowed employee status.

Second, the court found that Windbiel was following instructions from Jefco. This too defeated the argument against borrowed employee status.

The contract in question between Area and Jefco specified that Windbiel was under Area’s “exclusive jurisdiction, supervision and control.”  Although this contract language was not considered conclusive, it argued for borrowed employee status.

Since Jefco received the money for the crane work and paid Windbiel with benefits, the argument would be against borrowed employee status. Lastly, Windbiel was a highly skilled and short-term employee, which would tend to mean that he was less likely to be a borrowed employee. Long-term employment or short-term employment with a low level of training required are better indicators of borrowed employee status.

Although the appellate court concluded it was not certain as to whether Windbiel was a borrowed employee, it did state emphatically that summary judgment against the plaintiff was inappropriate. There was ample evidence that Windbiel never left the employment of Jefco, making him an employee of Jefco rather than of Area.For those reasons, the decision made by the trial court granting summary judgment was reversed and the case remanded back to the trial court for further disposition.

Road Incompatibilities

There are many types of vehicles on the road, including multi-wheel trucks, smaller trucks, SUVs, sedans, smaller cars, and motorcycles. Research has shown that the mere fact that there are different types of vehicles on the road makes for dangerous driving conditions. This is a problem that appears to be resistant to interventions. The accidents are caused by larger vehicles not seeing smaller vehicles, larger vehicles taking over the right of way of smaller vehicles, and larger vehicles not able to gauge the speed and distance between the larger vehicle and the smaller vehicle. This isn’t, of course to say that larger vehicles are the cause of most motor vehicle accidents. Smaller vehicles have an equally difficult time judging the distances between larger vehicles as well as judging their distance.

The two vehicles that are known to be the most incompatible with one another on the road are automobiles and motorcycles. A crash between a motorcycle and an automobile generally yields significant trauma to the motorcyclist. Trauma can include closed head traumas, cervical trauma, chest and abdominal blunt trauma, pelvic fractures and tibial/fibular trauma.

The problem is that the same road conditions are interpreted differently by automobile drivers and those who drive motorcycles. There are simply different cognitive interpretations of the road by drivers of cars and drivers of motorcycles. This cognitive difference tends to get better when the individual is driving on fast roads, such as freeways and highways. This likely means that more collisions between cars and motorcycles occur on slower urban roads with more stop signs and stoplights. The other high risk areas are country roads and at junctions. These places generate stereotypical behavior that is unfavorable to motorists anticipating the presence of motorcyclists in the area.

One helpful thing is to include signs that warn drivers of events behind them as well as in front of them so they know when to anticipate the presence of hills and valleys that might hide the presence of a motorcycle. They also feel that practical measures of cross-mode training and route drivability.

The other issue with having different types of vehicles on the road is that some vehicles are less conspicuous than others. There has been some research that indicates that increasing the conspicuousness of smaller vehicles and motorcycles makes them easier to see and easier to judge things like speed and time to approach. Speed and time to approach are important when it comes to judging when to make a turn in front of the oncoming vehicle. If this is misjudged, the larger vehicle can turn in front of oncoming smaller vehicles, causing an accident.

The same is true of vehicles trying to cross a railroad track. Because trains are so large, they are perceived as moving slowly. Because they appear to move slowly, vehicles start to cross the railway, thinking they have enough time when, in fact, they do not. This is how many motor vehicle and train accidents occur and why motorcycle and automobile accidents tend to occur.

Pedestrian Injuries and Accident Investigation (Part 2)

What injuries do pedestrians typically suffer motor vehicle accidents?

A Study of pedestrian injuries and  trauma in Los Angeles from 1993-2003 involved 5838 pedestrian injuries of which 962 or 16.6 percent were considered severe.
The extent of an injury suffered by a pedestrian depends of 4 factors, primarily:
-Age of Pedestrian
– Speed of Motor Vehicle at Point of Impact
– The objects carried by the Pedestrian and
– The Main area where the pedestrian was struck

Additionally, LTVs (Light trucks) were associated with 3.0 times higher risk of severe injuries in comparison with passenger vehicles. Deaths from LTV-Pedestrian collisions were 3.5

times as likely as that of pedestrian-auto collisions.

The risk of various injuries depends greatly on the age of the pedestrian.

For example, 7.4 percent of children under 14 suffered head trauma compared to 23.7 percent of adults over 65.

5.1 percent of all injured pedestrians had spinal injuries. However, the risk of spinal injuries were 21X greater in the over 65 population, than those experienced by the 14 and under

Pelvic injuries displayed also varied greatly in incidence. Overall, 12.8 percent of pedestrians suffered pelvic injury of some sort. Those under 14 suffered 6.3 percent of pelvic injuries

while those over 65 had a 22.5 percent chance of a pelvic injury,

In terms of frequency of all injuries tibial fractures were the most common injury at 25.9 percent. Children were less likely to have tibial fractures, however, and more frequently

suffered a femoral fracture.

Pneumothorax or haemothorax injuries were also frequent…8.5% in patients over 65…much more rare in children.

Overall mortality rate from pedestrian collisions is 7.7 percent.

The age disparity in terms of mortality is severe.

Fully 25.1% in the over 65 Group suffered a fatal injury while for children under 14, the mortality rate was only 3.5 percent.

Learning To Learn: 7 Dimensions Of Effective Learning

Learning To Learn: 7 Dimensions Of Effective Learning | TEACHING ENGLISH FROM A CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE | Scoop.it
Guy Claxton is professor of education at Bristol University, and author of Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind How Intelligence Increases When You Think Less (1997). Among other concepts, he is interested in how people learn.

Via Mary Perfitt-Nelson
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's curator insight, April 13, 2013 7:59 PM

More than anything else, the concept of self-directed, entrepreneurial learning and transfer stand out. Learning how to learn is very different than learning content. In the 21st century, access to content and resources is no longer in short supply, but rather access to learning pathways, and authentic reasons to learn, which is where meaning making, critical curiosity, and resilience come in. Making that shift in your own mind is important for these dimensions to be relevant.

The shift is from learning content to learning how to learn.

The takeaways for teachers probably start with the role of the student in the learning process: voice, choice, personalization, self-direction, project-based learning, and other low-hanging fruit of current trends in learning.

Some thoughts on PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. By Marta Braylan

It often occurs that we get confused with the concept of prior knowledge and its relationship to construction of new learning. It would only seem logical to always find out what the students know before delivering a class or a course of any discipline. However, the difference resides in what information we would be looking for and the purpose of retrieving that data.

When we work with CLIL projects it is necessary to spend enough time in the process of exploring previous knowledge through different tools. The links that students can make to their personal experience and lives, the hypotheses and ideas they may have incidentally acquired about a certain topic will all contribute to set their always curious minds to work.

Lev Vygotsky said " Learning always proceeds from the known to the new. Good teaching will recognize and build on this connection."

Some tips to explore prior knowledge:

-Use various tools individually or in groups such as: incomplete phrases or sentences, brainstorming, short multiple choice questionnaires, graphic organizers, cartoons, short videos, pictures, parts of stories and others.

-Accept all the opinions without judging or correcting, stating that you are in an exploratory stage and that all ideas will be welcomed.

-Keep a record of students' ideas to use at a later stage.

-Refrain from correcting or indicating the right response.

-Use your observations and collected information to decide on the project's future path.

Good CLIL lessons should initiate by favoring risk taking to express ideas through drawings, writings and brainstorming allowing for different views and tolerating wrong or hilarious answers avoiding any judgment.

It will be throughout the process of experiencing the unit/project that the students together with appropriate teacher's interventions and class discussions will be able to reflect on their own ideas. Teacher's tolerance, observation and confidence in students' possibilities are of crucial importance to set the atmosphere of high challenge and high support classrooms.

Scottish wildcat sanctuary to double in size

A “SAFE haven” which may provide the best last chance to save endangered Scottish wildcats from extinction is to double in size.

A location on the remote Ardnamurchan peninsula was designated a protected area for the endangered cat - nicknamed the Highland Tiger - last year.

It is being extended to taken in parts of Morvern to now give the haven a total coverage of 500 square miles.

Wildcat Haven in Ardnamurchan and Sunart was established in 2008 by the Scottish Wildcat Association with US grant funding but is now a standalone project made up of a team of ecologists, wildlife experts, vets, teachers and landowners.

Domestic cats in and around the wildcat green zone are being neutered to prevent them breeding with pure wildcats.

Mixing with domestic cats, disease and loss of habitat have led to wildcats becoming an endangered species.

Last year there were warnings that numbers of pure-bred wildcats may have fallen to about 35 individuals - less than a tenth of previous estimates - and 70 times rarer than the giant panda.

A team put together by the Scottish Wildcat Association reviewed 2,000 records of camera trap sightings, eyewitness reports and also road kills.

Other research has estimated that there could be less than 400 pure-bred cats.

And a report on a project funded by Scottish Natural Heritage has calculated that there were 150 breeding pairs left.

Under the new initiative, by 2019 the partnership project aims to have identified and secured at least five stable populations of Scottish wildcats in the wild.

It also aims to promote in these areas greater awareness of the threats to wildcats from feral cats, domestic cats and hybrids; ensured that householders and others in wildcat ‘hot spots’ recognise the importance of having their cats neutered and vaccinated and have a better understanding of wildcat distribution, numbers and the extent of hybridisation with domestic cats.

The Morvern project involves scientist Dr Paul O’Donoghue and Kent-based charity the Aspinall Foundation.

They believe wildcats’ best chance of surviving is in the remotest parts of Scotland.

Ardnamurchan and Morvern include some of Scotland’s wildest landscapes and few human residents.

The main communities in Ardnamurchan - Acharacle and Strontian - have populations of about 560 and 350.

The haven project is separate from one involving six priority areas for Scottish wildcat conservation identified following research commissioned by SNH.

Thee Angus Glens, Strathbogie in Aberdeenshire, Strathavon in Moray and Morvern, Strathpeffer and Dulnain in the Highlands are the six areas.

The research suggested these were where wildcats had the best chance.

Nine areas were assessed as part of the multi-agency Wildcat Action project.

Last year, after five years of neutering and vaccinating feral and pet cats, Wildcat Haven established a 250 sq mile area on the Ardnamurchan peninsula that was free from feral cats and feline diseases.

Called Wildcat Haven, this is now the only place in Scotland where the Scottish wildcat can breed without the risk of hybridisation.

Field work began this week with teams of vets and biologists.

Emily O’Donoghue, director of the Wildcat Haven project, said the backing of the local community is essential.

She said: “The support from the local communities has been fantastic and central to our work.

“We are fortunate to work with a diverse range of stakeholders, from landowners to the local schools and without them we could not save the wildcat.”

Nick Morphet, head vet for the Wildcat Haven, said: “We are very excited about the current fieldwork season and we are putting out an appeal to all the residents on the Ardnamurchan and Morvern peninsulas.

“If they have any wildcats or feral cats that visit their gardens or have a pet cat that they want neutering or micro-chipping free of charge, then we would love to hear from them.”

Henry Dobson, conservation officer for Forestry Commission Scotland, said it is committed to helping halt the decline of the Scottish wildcat and recognises the importance of Morvern for the endangered animal.

“Wildcats range over large areas and face a number of threats so we realise the importance of working with different groups to give the wildcat the best chance of recovery,” he said.

New Lockerbie appeal to be launched ‘within weeks’

A FRESH application for an appeal against the Lockerbie bomber’s conviction will be launched “within weeks” by relatives of British victims of the atrocity.

Dr Jim Swire, speaking at a screening of a new documentary on the original investigation, said they were tired of waiting on the Scottish Government.

It will now be up to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission, which previously identified six grounds for appeal, to decide whether it is in the public interest to refer the case back to the Court of Appeal.

The Scotsman revealed last year that British families were considering making this move.

They had delayed to see if the Scottish Government would launch an inquiry, or if the family of the late Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al Megrahi – the only person convicted of the bombing – would trigger an appeal.

However, Dr Swire said more than 25 years after Pan Am 103 exploded over Scotland, killing 270 people, the families had “decided enough is enough”.

Speaking at a screening of al-Jazeera’s Lockerbie: What Really Happened? in the Scottish Parliament yesterday, Dr Swire said: “The content of today’s production seems to match, very closely, the information we have as relatives. But there’s limits to what we can do.

“The Scottish Government has repeatedly been asked to launch an inquiry into this and we know they have the power to do so. Some British relatives have decided enough is enough and we will be applying within weeks for a further appeal.

“That should raise this to another level.”

Dr Swire’s 23-year-old daughter, Flora, was killed in the Lockerbie tragedy.

The documentary once again pointed the finger at Iran, saying it funded the attack, which was carried out by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC)).

It says it has seen US intelligence cables, which read: “The execution of the operation was contracted to Ahmad Jabril, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command (PFLP-GC) leader. Money was given to Jabril up-front in Damascus for initial expense. The mission was to blow up a Pam Am flight.”

The documentary heard from CIA agent Robert Baer, who said an “executive decision” was taken, emanating from the White House, to focus on Libya.

It also heard from Jessica De Grazia, author of the Bird Report, commissioned by Megrahi, and former senior Iranian intelligence official, Abolghasem Mesbahi. He claimed the Lockerbie bombing was retaliation for the shooting down of Iran Air Flight 655 by the USS Vincennes in July 1988, which killed 290 people.

Mr Mesbahi said: “Iran decided to retaliate as soon as possible. The decision was made by the whole system in Iran and confirmed by Ayatollah Khomeini. The target of the Iranian decision-makers was to copy exactly what’s happened to the Iranian Airbus.”

Mr Baer said: “The Iranians went to the PFLP-GC, the break-off faction and said, alright you guys know how to bring down planes, bring down five, five civilian airliners.”

The Crown Office, which is still treating Lockerbie as a live investigation and has signed information-sharing agreements with Libyan prosecutors, dismissed the documentary as old news.

“There is nothing new in these claims and some of the accounts of the evidence reported are inaccurate,” a spokesman said.

“The only appropriate forum for the determination of guilt or innocence is the criminal court, and Mr Megrahi was convicted unanimously by three senior judges.

“His conviction was upheld unanimously by five judges, in an Appeal Court presided over by the Lord Justice General, Scotland’s most senior judge.

“As the investigation remains live, it would not be appropriate to offer further comment.”

Duncan Bush
Publication Date:
Monday, October 5, 1998
No votes yet

From the threshold of his own fiftieth year, Duncan Bush returns to the ’Fifties of his youth as a springboard from which to explore the second half of the twentieth century in ways often more autobiographical than anything we’ve seen from his prizewinning previous collections.

A vivid series of viewpoints starts with memories of a post-war Britain, a childhood obsessed with reading and American cinema, and moves forward to less personal experiences and then to married life and fatherhood, middle age, and the view from ’mainland Europe’ at the end of the ’Nineties. In a prose essay, this most committed of individualists also writes of individual and national history; and, in memorable poems, on gardening, landscape, BSE and the crisis in farming, and - compellingly - on the televised funeral of Princess Diana.

Product Description

The Cromwell tank, officially Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Cromwell (A27M),[a] was one of the series of cruiser tanks fielded by Britain in the Second World War. Named after the English Civil War leader Oliver Cromwell, the Cromwell was the first tank put into service by the British to combine high speed from a powerful and reliable engine (the Rolls-Royce Meteor), and reasonable armour. However the originally proposed dual-purpose high velocity gun could not be fitted in the turret and the medium velocity dual purpose gun fitted proved inadequate. An improved version with a high velocity gun became the Comet tank.

The name "Cromwell" was initially applied to three different vehicles during development. Early Cromwell development led to the creation of the A24 Cavalier. Later Cromwell development led to the creation of the competing Tank, Cruiser, Mk VIII, Centaur (A27L) design. The Centaur tank was closely related to the Cromwell, both vehicles being externally of very similar appearance. Cromwell and Centaur differed in the engine used. While the Centaur had the 340 hp Liberty engine, the Cromwell had the significantly more powerful 600 hp Meteor.

The Cromwell first saw action in the Battle of Normandy in June 1944. The tank equipped the armoured reconnaissance regiments of the Royal Armoured Corps, in the 7th Armoured Division11th Armoured Division and the Guards Armoured Division. While the armoured regiments of the latter two divisions were equipped with M4 Shermans, the armoured regiments of the 7th Armoured Division were equipped with Cromwell tanks. The Centaurs were not used in combat except for those fitted with a 95mm howitzer, which were used in support of the Royal Marines during the amphibious invasion of Normandy.

The Tao of Soto

In the days leading up to this year’s non-waiver trade deadline, Ranger fans anxiously anticipated (and in many instances wildly speculated) who the team might acquire for this season’s stretch drive.  A variety of names were tossed around, most of whom were fairly well-known to even the most casual observer.  But one name you never saw mentioned before the deadline was that of a weak-hitting catcher from one of the worst teams in the National League: Geovany Soto.

Yet he was one of the two players Texas traded for (in separate transactions) on July 31, along with his Chicago Cubs battery mate, Ryan Dempster.  While Dempster led his league in ERA at the time of the trade, generating at least a fair amount of excitement, Soto really had no notable bullet points on his résumé, other than a long-forgotten Rookie of the Year award.  Soto’s batting average in 2012 for the Cubs was a microscopic .199, below the dreaded “Mendoza Line,” and he had only managed to hit six home runs playing in one of baseball’s most HR-friendly parks.

Although his acquisition puzzled (if not actively irritated) many Ranger fans, it should be clearly understood by now that to question the personnel moves of Jon Daniels is a foolhardy endeavor bordering on outright heresy.  And though some of Soto’s more high-profile stats since becoming a Ranger don’t show much obvious improvement over his performance with the Cubs, he’s definitely made a positive impact so far in many other ways.

Perhaps no other single contribution Soto has made to this team is more important than his work with Yu Darvish.  Prior to Soto’s acquisition on July 31, Yu had lost three of his previous four starts, which would extend to a 1-4 stretch (one no decision) with Napoli remaining behind the plate for Yu’s first two August starts.  During those six starts before Soto’s first game catching Yu, the numbers were beyond ugly (24 walks in 30 innings and an ERA of 7.09).

Since then, Soto has been behind the plate for all four of Yu’s subsequent starts, and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.  Yu has gone 3-1 (the only loss being a well-pitched game in a 3-2 defeat) with only nine walks in 27.2 innings and a 2.98 ERA.  This isn’t to suggest that Soto is solely responsible for Yu’s marvelous turnaround, but it seems quite apparent that he is largely responsible for it.

And while he hasn’t revived his bat to its Rookie of the Year form, Soto has managed to increase his batting average and has even exceeded his RBI total from 52 games this season as a Cub in less than half that many (25) as a Ranger.  Even more noteworthy is that Soto’s offensive contributions for Texas have been quite timely, such as a three-run homer that really jump-started the Rangers’ offense in Yu’s latest win, where he took a perfect game into the 6th inning against the Royals.

Soto’s unlikely to ever be an MVP candidate or a perennial All-Star, but he’s already proven to be yet another in a seemingly endless series of brilliant personnel moves by Jon Daniels.

• Finally, I'd like to give you one last reminder about the Bills. They're the 14th-ranked fantasy defense this year and have an unbelievable schedule for the playoffs. They visit Jacksonville and Tampa Bay the next two weeks before coming home to host Miami in Week 16. Get them while you still can and ride them during the postseason.
