Greenbaum was a member of the \"Warlock Gang\", followers of composer and music critic Peter Warlock (Philip Heseltine). Others were Cecil Gray, E. J. Moeran, Constant Lambert and Leslie Heward. It has been suggested that Heseltine's influence led to Greenbaum's heavy drinking habit. At the beginning of 1929 Greenbaum and Sidonie moved to a larger flat on the top floor of 5, Wetherby Gardens, SW5, which became a regular meeting place for an expanded circle of hard-drinking musicians, also including Arnold Bax, Patrick Hadley, Spike Hughes, Alan Rawsthorne and William Walton. Stage and television. From 1930 until 1934 he was a music director for C. B. Cochran on London productions such as Jerome Kern's \"The Cat and the Fiddle\" (March 1932, 219 performances), George Kaufman and Edna Ferber's \"Dinner at Eight\" (January 1933, 218 performances), Kern's \"Music in the Air\" (May"}, {"text": "1933, 275 performances) and Cole Porter's \"Nymph Errant\" (October 1933, 154 performances). In the early 1930s he also joined Decca as a recording manager. In 1936 Greenbaum applied for the post of Musical Director, BBC Television Service, and with support from Adrian Boult was appointed. He founded the BBC Television Orchestra, which played on the inaugural programme when regular British television broadcasts commenced on 26 August 1936 to an estimated 123,000 viewers. This was the first high-definition standard (405 lines) television test transmission, with the orchestra broadcasting from Alexandra Palace to the Radiolympia exhibition being held at Olympia London. The orchestra also played on the official opening day of BBC Television's high-definition broadcasting on 2 November 1936. Its repertoire was wide, ranging from music for drama productions through to a televised adaptation of \"Tristan und Isolde\" (in two one-hour sections) on 24 January 1938. Greenbaum, with a group of others at the BBC (including Stephen Thomas, Dallas Bower, Desmond Davis and members of the British Music Drama Opera Company), presented an astonishing 29 operas on television between 1936 and 1939.

The BBC Television Orchestra was disbanded in September 1939 at the outbreak of World War II when television services were suspended. Greenbaum and his wife moved to Bristol, living with Alan Rawsthorne and his first wife Jessie Hinchcliffe at the Clifton Arts Club. This was bombed in November 1940, and many of Rawsthorne\u2019s manuscripts were destroyed. Greenbaum used a nucleus of the Television Orchestra members to form the BBC Revue Orchestra, playing light variety music for BBC radio from its base in Bangor, North Wales. According to Sidonie he \"hated Bangor and he hated variety work. Away from me he was tempted to drink more and more. He lived in a pub and once set his bed on fire there.\" However, there were occasionally chances to record more challenging repertoire for the BBC Symphony Orchestra. For instance on 19 November 1941, at the insistence of Adrian Boult, he conducted Franz Liszt's symphonic poem \"Orpheus\""}, {"text": "and Ferruccio Busoni's Violin Concerto. The following day he conducted a studio concert in Bedford featuring Bartok's \"Divertimento for Strings\". Greenbaum died of alcohol-related problems, one day after his 41st birthday, the alcoholism fueled by his career difficulties and depression resulting from the still birth of their only son. Cecil Gray wrote: \"There is no more tragic figure than the great interpretive artist who has never been given a chance to reveal his powers. Such was Hyam Greenbaum.\" Composition and orchestration. As a composer, Greenbaum achieved some recognition with his \"Parfums de Nuits\", three miniatures for oboe and orchestra written for Leon Goossens and performed at the Proms on 12 October 1922. He then conducted the premiere of his orchestral piece \"A Sea Poem\" at the 1923 Proms, repeating it the following year. However, his greatest contributions to contemporary music came from his conducting and orchestration work, and from helping other composers at difficult times in the composition process.

Anna Strasser was born in St. Valentin, a small country town near Linz, Austria. She was the twelfth of her parents' children and had two half-siblings from her father's first marriage. Her father, Johann Strasser, worked for an insurance company and died in 1938.

The depot was close to the camp and Strasser started taking a walk past the camp during her lunch break. She began carrying basic supplies with her, such as bread, sugar, biscuits, sewing needles, twine and buttons. Sometimes she dropped them where inmates might find them, and inmates learned to watch for her lunch break walks. On one occasion she received a letter of gratitude that the inmates had managed to send using the postal service. The store manager, Franz Winklehner, began purchasing maize, turnips, cabbage and potatoes from farmers making deliveries to the depot, exchanging them for fertilizers and settling the balance.

The pair joined and revived the London Underground Church. The church met in fields in summer and houses in winter, from 5am, sometimes worshipping all day. They rejected written liturgy as 'babbling in the Lord's sight' and allowed any member to preach. According to a visitor, 'In their prayer, one speaketh and the rest do groan or sob or sigh, as if they would wring out tears.' The underground church, as taught by Barrow and Greenwood, believed that churches had to be voluntary communities of committed believers, and that the Church of England, which coerced the whole population into joining, was therefore not a true Church. They published their ideas in numerous books, printed through an illegal smuggling operation, in the Netherlands.

Its splendor was between the 12th to 14th centuries, in which two important Torah centers flourished in Barcelona and Girona. The Catalan Jewish community developed unique characteristics, which included customs, a prayer rite (\"Nusach\" Catalonia), and a tradition of its own in issuing legal decisions (\"Halakhah\"). Although the Jews of Catalonia had a ritual of prayer and different traditions from those of Sepharad\",\" today they are usually included in the Sephardic Jewish community. Following the expulsion of 1492, Jews who did not convert to Christianity were forced to emigrate to Italy, the Ottoman Empire, the Maghreb, North Africa and the Middle East. Early history. Historians affirm that Jews arrived at the Iberian Peninsula before the destruction of the Second Temple although the oldest gravestones date from the third century. \"Aspamia\", derived from \"Hispania,\" refers to the Iberian Peninsula in Roman times. At the beginning of the 5th century, the peninsula was conquered by the Visigoths.

The areas under Islamic rule were called \"al-Andalus\" (in Arabic: \u0627\u0644\u0623\u0646\u062f\u0644\u0633). While little is known about the history of the Jews at the beginning of Islamic rule, we know the Jews began to use the term Sepharad. In a process of territorial reoccupation called Reconquista, the Christian kingdoms progressively conquered all Islamic territories, from north to south. With the Christian Reconquista, the territories occupied by the kingdoms of Castile and Portugal were also called by the Jews Sepharad, while Catalonia and the other kingdoms of the north were called \"Edom\" or named after \"Esau\". The reconquest of Catalonia began under the auspices of the Frankish kings, who forced the Muslims who had managed to cross the Pyrenees at the Battle of Poitiers in 732 to retreat to the south. All the lands freed from the Islamic domain became counties and remained under the administrative organization of the Franks. The Catalan counties, led by the counts of Barcelona, slowly broke free from the Franks and began to govern themselves independently.

The fact that many of them spoke Arabic and also the vernacular Romance languages enabled them to serve as translators and acquire important positions in both Muslim and Christian governments. Jews owned fields and vineyards and many engaged in agriculture. In this early period, the Jewish scholars of Catalonia who sought advanced Talmudic studies studied at Talmudic academies (\"yeshivot\") in the South. Those who wished to study science or linguistics went to Sepharad, as did Rabbi \"Menachem ben Saruq\" (920-970), who was born in the Catalan city of Tortosa and moved with his family to Cordoba to study the Hebrew language under the patronage of Governor \"Shemuel ibn Nagrella\". Barcelona and Girona were known as important Jewish communities from the 9th century CE. In the 11th and 12th centuries there was a rabbinical court \"(Bet Din)\" and an important center for Torah study in Barcelona. During this period, Barcelona became a link in the chain of transmission of the teachings of the \"Geonim\"\".\" Important Catalonian Rabbis from this time are Rabbi \"Yitzchaq ben Reuven al-Bargeloni\" (1043 -?), Rabbi \"Yehudah ben Barzilay ha-Barceloni\","}, {"text": "called \"Yehudah ha-Nasi\" of Barcelona (late 11th century, beginning of the 12th century) and Rabbi \"Avraham bar Chiyya Nasi\" (late 11th century, first half of the 12th century).

The kings of the Crown of Aragon extended their domains to the Occitan countries. 12th and 13th centuries. In the 12th and 13th centuries the Catalonian Talmudic academies thrived.

During this period, Rabbi \"Yona Girondi\" (1210-1263) and his famous disciples Rabbi \"Aharon ben Yosef ha-Levi\" of Barcelona \"(Reah)\" (1235-1303) and Rabbi \"Shelomoh ben Adret (Rashba)\" (1235-1310).

We can say that at that time Barcelona became the most important Talmudic study center in all of the European Jewry. It was also during this time that certain Catalan Jewish families occupied key positions in the Catalonian economy, such as the Taro\u00e7 family of Girona.

In the 14th century Christian fanaticism prevailed throughout the Iberian Peninsula and there were many persecutions against the Jews.

In 1370, Jews of Barcelona were victims of attacks instigated by a blood libel; a few Jews were assassinated and the secretaries of the community were imprisoned in the synagogue for a few days without food. Following the succession of John I of Castile, conditions for Jews seem to have improved somewhat. With John I even making legal exemptions for some Jews, such as Abraham David Taro\u00e7. The end of the century brought the revolts of 1391. As a result of the riots, many Jews were forced to convert to Christianity and many others died as martyrs. Others succeeded in fleeing to North Africa (such as \"Ribash\" and \"Rashbatz\"), Italy and the Ottoman Empire. It was the end of the Jewish communities of Valencia and Barcelona.

From day seven of the month of \"Av\" (Sunday, 9/7/1391), they extended to other communities of the Crown of Aragon: Valencia, Barcelona, Lleida, Girona and Mallorca. During the 1391 attacks, the majority of the Jewish communities of Sepharad, Catalonia and Aragon were destroyed. During the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the kings of the Crown of Aragon expanded their territories to the lands of the Mediterranean; they conquered Sicily (1282), Corsica (1297-1516), Athens (1311), Neopatria (1318), Sardinia (1323-1326) and Naples (1435-1442). 15th century. The fifteenth century was very hard for Jewish life in the Iberian Peninsula. The communities that survived the 1391 riots faced great pressure on the part of the church and the Christian population.

In 1469 King Fernando of Aragon (1452-1516) and Queen Isabel of Castile (1451-1504) married and unified the two kingdoms.

Many of the Catalonian Jews arrived in Italy and found refuge in Sicily, Naples, Livorno and the city of Rome. Sicily. We know that Jews from the Iberian Peninsula settled in Sicily since the 11th century. The famous Kabbalist Rabbi \"Avraham Abulafia\" (1240-1291), who studied many years in Catalonia, settled in Sicily, where he wrote most of his works. Sicily had been part of the Catalan-Aragonese crown for many years and the Jewish communities remained on the island until the end of the 15th century, with the expulsion edict of the Jews of the island on June 18, 1492. We know of the existence of a Catalan Jewish community in the island thanks to the identification of a manuscript of the 14th century as \"siddur\" \"nusach\" Catalonia.

Catalonian Jews were also exiled to the city of Rome. In 1517 the Catalonian Jewish community of Rome was well organized and built a synagogue following the \"minhag\" Catalonia (\"Schola hebreorum Nationis Catalanorum\"). In 1519 Pope Leo X (1475-1521) granted them a permit to widen the community and move the synagogue to a new location, allowed them to remodel and adapt it into a house of prayer according to their rites and customs. By the end of 1527, the Catalonian community and the Aragonese community decided to merge. The joint synagogue of Catalonia and Aragon changed its location again in 1549. In 1555, the community approved the expenses for the construction of another synagogue. The Catalan-Aragonese community fought to avoid merging with the Sephardic communities.

Since then we have no information about the Catalonian community. Settlement in the Ottoman Empire. The exiled Jews of Catalonia also migrated to the Ottoman Empire where they were organized in communities according to the place of origin that were called \"Qehalim\". There were Catalonian \"Qehalim\" in Istanbul, Edirne, Salonica and Safed, among others. The Catalonian Jewish Community of Salonica. The Jews of Catalonia formed a community in Salonica that was called \u201cCatalan\u201d. Despite being a minority, the Catalonian Jews fought to avoid merging with the Sephardic communities and maintained their ancient customs. The religious leaders of the holy communities of Catalonia in Salonica received the title of \"Marbitz Torah\" and not the title Rabbi.

Another \"chacham\" from the Catalonian Jewish community was Rabbi \"Moshe Almosnino\", \"Marbitz Torah\", exegete and philosopher, son of \"Barukh Almosnino\", who had rebuilt the Catalonian synagogue after the fire of 1545. In 1515, the community was divided into two \"Qehalim\" that were called \"Catalan yashan\" (Old Catalan) and \"Catalan chadash\" (New Catalan). In 1526, the \"machzor of Yamim Noraim\" (Days of Awe), known as \"Machzor le-nusach Barcelona minhag Catalunya\" was first published. According to the colophon, the impression was finished on the eve of \"Yom Kippur\" of the year 5287 (1526). Catalonian Jews published several reprints of the \"machzor\" in the nineteenth century. In 1863 they printed an edition titled \"Machzor le-Rosh ha-Shana ve-Yom ha-Kippurim ke-minhag qahal qadosh Catalan yashan ve-chadash be-irenu zot Saloniki\". This edition was published by \"Yitschaq Amariliyo\". In 1869 the \"Machzor ke-minhag qahal qadosh Catalan yashan ve-chadash\" was printed.

The Catalonian Jewish community of Salonica existed as such until the Holocaust. In 1927, they published a numbered edition in three volumes of the \"machzor\", entitled \"Machzor le-yamim nora\u00efm Kef\u00ed Minhag q[ahal] q[adosh] Qatalan, ha-yadua be-shem nusach Bartselona minhag Qatalunya\"\".\" In the second volume \"Tefillat Yaaqov\", there is a long historical introduction about the Jewish community of Catalonia and the edition of the \"machzor\" written in Judeo-Spanish; the same summary introduction is found in the first volume \"Tefillat Shemuel \", written in Hebrew. Below is a fragment of the translation of the Hebrew version: \u00abOne of the most precious pearls that our ancestors brought from the exile of Catalonia, when they had to leave as exiles, was the old order of the prayers of \"Rosh ha-Shana\" and \"Yom Kippur\", known as \"the 'nusach Barcelona, minhag Catalunya\"'.

The Jews of Catalonia were the most prominent among their brothers in the rest of the Sepharad countries and their wisdom and science were superior. The distinguished communities of Barcelona always took pride in the fact that great Rabbis and personalities from their community illuminated the eyes of the whole Jewish diaspora. There was a saying that Sephardic Jews used to say: the air of Barcelona, it makes you wise. \u00bb The Catalonian Jewish community of Salonica was totally annihilated in the Holocaust.

In general, the Jews of Castile went to Morocco, while the Jews of Catalonia, Valencia, Mallorca and Aragon went to peesent-day Algeria and Tunisia. The Jews of Algiers. The Muslim rulers of the central Maghreb received the Jewish exiles with open arms. As soon as the Christian authorities saw that Jews and converts fled to the Maghreb, they forbade them from leaving the country, increased their persecution and flight became more difficult.

Peninsular refugees contributed to raising the country's economy thanks to commercial activities with European lands and also improved the level of Torah studies. Two of the great later \"Rishonim\", Rabbi \"Yitzhaq bar Sheshet Perfet (Ribash)\" and Rabbi \"Shimon ben Tzemac\u1e25 Duran (Rashbatz)\" fled to the Maghreb. \"Ribash\" had long been the grand Rabbi of Catalonia, and \"Rashbatz\", despite his great preparation and knowledge of the Torah, had been dedicated to the medical profession. After a while, \"Ribash\" was named \"Mara de-Atra\" (maximum rabbinical authority) and head of the Rabbinic Court of the Algiers community, and \"Rashbatz\" was appointed \"Dayan\" (judge) to his court. When \"Ribash\" died, \"Rashbatz\" occupied his place. The Jews of the central Maghreb accepted the authority of these two great Rabbis, who were followed by the descendants of \"Rashbatz\", his son Rabbi \"Shelomo ben Shimon (Rashbash)\" and his disciples. Throughout the generations, the Jews of the central Maghreb have faithfully and meticulously maintained the spiritual legacy and customs that came from Catalonia. Until today, \"Ribash\", \"Rashbatz\" and \"Rashbash\" are considered the main Rabbis of Algiers.

In fact, the Jews of Algiers followed the \"halakhic\" dictation inherited from the Catalan \"Bet Midrash\" of the \"Ramban\" and the \"Rashba\". Thus, for example, Rabbi \"Avraham ibn Taua\" (1510-1580), grandson of \"Rashbatz\", responded to a question asked by the Rabbis of Fez on a matter referring to the laws of \"Shabbat\": \u00abAnswer: Dear Rabbis, God guard you; know that we are [descendants of] the expelled from the land of Catalonia, and according to what our parents of blessed memory used in those lands, we also used in these places where we have dispersed because of our sins.

Therefore, you do not have to question the customs of our community, since as long as you cannot find any of the issues explicitly mentioned in the books, it should be assumed that they followed the custom according to these great Rabbis. \u00bb Also, regarding the order of prayers and \"piyyutim\", the Jews of Algiers were strictly conservative with the customs that came from Catalonia. \"Machzor minhag\" Algiers, for example, arrived from Catalonia around 1391. In the eighteenth century, scholars questioned some of the ancient customs saying that they contradicted the dictates of Rabbi \"Yitzchaq Luria Ashkenazi (Arizal)\" (1534-1572). The old custom that came from Catalonia consisted of reciting \"piyyutim\" (and also prayers and supplications) in the middle of prayer. They argued that the custom of the city had to be changed. So, they began to change the \"nusach\" of the prayers that had been in force in Algiers since ancient times. The Algerian Rabbis opposed this development, arguing that the old custom could not be changed, but in the following generations, most synagogues in the city of Algiers did change the rite of prayer and adopted the custom of the \"Arizal\" (known as the"}, {"text": "custom of the Kabbalists, \"minhag ha-mequbalim\"). Only two synagogues maintained the ancient custom (known as the custom of literalists, \"minhag ha-pashtamim\"): The Great Synagogue and the synagogue \"Yakhin u-Boaz\" (later renamed Guggenheim Society). The \"piyyutim\" mentioned above, which are recited on special \"Shabbatot\" and festivals, etc., were edited in a book called \"Qrovatz\". The Jews from Algiers have maintained the texts and melodies that arrived in Algiers during the period of the \"Ribash\" and the \"Rashbatz\" until the present day. According to the tradition, these are the original melodies that arrived from Catalonia with the two great Rabbis. In 2000, the annual Ethnomusicology Workshop was held, which focused on the customs and liturgical tradition of the Jews of Algeria. Algerian cantors from France and Israel attended. The workshop was recorded and today the recordings can be listened to on the website of the National Library of Israel. The liturgy of \"Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, Yamim Noraim\", festivals, fasts and \"piyyutim\" for various celebrations were recorded.

Description. \"Barony\" is a fantasy role-playing game outlined in three books: The game also includes a cut-apart tarot deck printed on three letter-sized pieces of cardstock, and a gamemaster's screen printed on paper, which reviewers noted was too flimsy to stand up on its own. Gameplay. Character advancement. Characters gain a new level or stage for each adventure completed successfully, and choose advancement in any one of the four beginning professions. If a player chooses to advance the character along the same profession path, the character can reach the highest possible level after as few as eight adventures. Moving a character from profession to profession will slow the rate of advancement down. Skill resolution. Skills have four categories: Gifted; Learned; Practiced and Patient; and Physical and Combat. For a character to complete a task, the referee assigns a Difficulty to the task (Simple, Difficult, or Tasking), and the player rolls two eight-sided dice to determine success. Combat. There are no exact weapons in this game, only the character's combat skill. There are no hit points \u2014 both characters and their opponents have a list of adjectives"}, {"text": "describing their health, divided into four columns corresponding to the severity of the wound received (Bruise/Cut; Bleeder; Vicious; and Spirit).

When the last adjective has been removed, the creature is dead. There is also a completely separate combat system for battling dragons. Magic. Rather than casting a pre-printed spell, the player simply tells the referee what effect is desired, and which of six \"laws of nature\" is being broken. The referee judges if the request is reasonable, and decides to what degree the laws of nature are being broken. The player then makes a skill roll for each law being broken, the difficulty being dependent on the degree to which the law is being broken. If the player is not very successful, the character will either have to pay a cost in Magic Points, or if the character has no Magic Points, the player rolls dice to determine a Major Mishap that will inflict the character.

But in the late 1980s, small independent game designers started to create games that were less about rolling dice and more centered on the story narrative. Two such designers were Joseph Hillmer and George Rahm, who created two \"rules light\" role-playing games: the science fiction RPG \"Era Ten\" and the fantasy RPG \"Barony\". Both implemented a much simplified rules system that used tables and a deck of cards to resolve all action in the game. \"Barony\", featuring the artwork of Todd Pickens, was published by Better Games of Burbank, California in 1990. Better Games also produced several supplements for \"Barony', which were published on their website and in the pages of \"Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer\". Reception. Stewart Wieck, reviewing both of Better Games' RPGs, \"Barony\" and \"Era Ten\", in \"White Wolf\" #26 (April/May, 1991), liked the rules system, calling it \"an outline that relies little on actual rules, and more on gamemaster initiative.\" But Wieck was not impressed by the poor editing, noting \"the choppy writing (innumerable sentence fragments) makes the text tiresome to follow.\" Wieck was also distressed by the lack of organization of the rules.

Smith found a certain \"lack of polish\" in the product, with small, dense text with no chapter headings, and a writing style that \"ranges from mildly difficult to nigh impossible to read in places, and evinces a near complete lack of awareness of the simplest technical writing tricks to make text easy to comprehend.

According to Aaronson and her colleagues, this decline has been significant and is likely to persist. Moreover, this trend has important consequences for the labor supply in the American economy. Her research explains the relative importance of"}, {"text": "cyclical and structural factors in causing the recent decline. Her findings suggest that changes in the business cycle had a greater impact on the decline in labor force participation in the early 2000s, as the observed decline corresponded with the 2001 recession and relatively poor economic conditions. However, the continuation of the decline is better explained by structural demographic factors. Most notably, these include the increased portion of the population in older age groups, as they are more likely to have lower labor force participation rates. In addition, their findings also emphasize other structural factors, such as the stabilization of the female labor force participation rate, the decreased labor force participation rate for adult men, and the effect of young people entering the labor force at a later age due to increased years spent in school. Aaronson and her colleagues have since extended their analysis of the long-run trend for the American labor force participation rate.

The most significant of these changes is the aging of the Baby Boomer generation which they argue can account for approximately 50% of the decline.

They note that neither of these effects have been offset by the rise in labor force participation among older workers due to improvements in health and longevity. Using this data, they project that labor force participation will continue to decline, to as low as 61% by 2022. The business cycle and the labor force participation rate. Similarly, Aaronson's research has contributed to the understanding of how changes in the business cycle affect labor force participation among different groups of workers in the U.S. economy. This research adds to the findings of economist Arthur Okun in 1973. Okun's research looked at the relationship between a \"high pressure\" economy and upward mobility. He found that economies characterized by high rates of expansion supported the upward mobility of workers in that economy.

In addition, they found that the further expansion of an already strong economy still increased labor force participation among certain groups, particularly African American women with less than a college degree, and that these benefits held over time. The exchange rate and employment instability. Related to labor force participation, Aaronson has also done research on the relationship between the exchange rate and employment instability. This research takes into account the impact of economic globalization on labor force participation in the U.S. economy. Aaronson and her colleagues looked at how fluctuations in the exchange rate affect workers likelihood of changing jobs or switching industries. Their findings showed that the effect varies between employment sectors, and also depends on whether the movement in the exchange rate occurs on"}, {"text": "the import or export side. In manufacturing sectors, appreciation of the U.S. dollar makes it more likely that workers will keep their jobs and remain in the industry in which they are currently employed. For non-manufacturing sectors, the effect depends on whether the fluctuation in the exchange rate occurs on the export or import side. An appreciation in the export exchange rate increases job stability, whereas an appreciation in the import exchange rate makes worker movement between industries more likely. Additional research. Aaronson and economist Andrew Figura investigated the consequences of inaccurate measurements of the number of hours worked over the business cycle on important macroeconomic phenomena, such as the markup of price over marginal cost and increasing returns to scale, as well as its implications for previously published research. They note that most research currently uses data from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, which measures the number of hours paid as opposed to the aggregate number of hours worked. They argue that there is a significant discrepancy between these two measurements that may bias the results of existing research, in particular when accounting for the number of hours worked by salaried employees. Because research has relied on the"}, {"text": "number of paid hours instead of the number of hours worked, they find that current data understates the total number of hours worked by 5%. It also misstates cyclical movements in the workweek by 27%. Taking these inaccurate measurements into account, they find that productivity growth between 2000 and 2004 has been understated, while productivity growth between 1994 and 2000 has been overstated. These findings have significant implications as they affect the accuracy of data used in academic research and policy making decisions. Media coverage. Aaronson's research has been cited in a number of prominent American news publications, including \"The New York Times\" and \"The Economist\". Both publications reference Aaronson's research about the observed long-run trend of declining labor force participation in the U.S..

The saga first appeared as a published dissertation which stated in an introduction that it was edited from parchment fragments found by the dissertation's author, Lucas Halpap. The text of the fragments was apparently written in runes, reproduced for the reader by Halpap along with a translation into Swedish. The language presented in the runes is similar to Old Norse but with a haphazard grammar and a vocabulary which at times is closer to early modern Swedish. The dissertation aroused the interest of a number of antiquarians, and the saga came to be edited on two more occasions within fifteen years of its appearance. While some scholars had doubts about its authenticity right from start, it finally came to be definitively exposed as a fake when Carl Gustav Nordin published a thesis on it in the late eighteenth century, showing how the saga contained borrowings from late seventeenth-century saga editions."}, {"text": "While Halpap clearly played a role in the appearance of the forgery, there has been disagreement as to who was the intellectual author, although most agree that it stems from the circle of scholars close to Olof (or \u201cOlaus\u201d) Rudbeck (1630\u20131702) at Uppsala University (see below, Theories about Authorship). Synopsis. The saga begins with Hjalmar and Ramer setting out on an expedition from their home in Thulemark (probably roughly equivalent to modern-day Telemark). They go to Bjarmaland where the defeat King Wagmar. Hjalmar thus becomes king there and settles down, marrying Wagmar's daughter.

After Halpap's edition appeared in the form of his thesis in 1690, Sweden's Riksantikvarie (\u201cState Antiquarian\u201d) of the time, Johan Hadorph, was eager to see the manuscript which Halpap had based his edition on. Halpap had, however, travelled abroad for studies. It was only in 1694 that a manuscript appeared in Stockholm, by which time Hadorph had died. The new Riksantkvarie, Johan Peringski\u00f6ld, produced a new edition based on the manuscript, this time with a runic text, a transrunification and both a Swedish and Latin translation. No date appears in the edition, but it is believed be from 1701. The manuscript was eventually transferred to the Kungliga Bibliotek (\u201cRoyal Library\u201d) in Stockholm, where it is still found today under the shelfmark V. r. 1a. Peringski\u00f6ld's edition also served as the basis for the text which appeared in 1703 in George Hickes' \"Linguarum vetterum septentrionalium thesaurus grammatico-criticus et archaeologicus\". Theories about Authorship. Vilhelm G\u00f6del, in his article on the matter, says that Halpap was probably too young"}, {"text": "and inexperienced to have produced the forgery on his own.

(I must however be permitted to say that there may well be reason to direct one's suspicions at Lundius, who in so many of his dealings was so untrustworthy.) Carl Lundius (1638\u20131715) was a friend of Olof Rudbeck and thus shared many of the ideas associated with Rudbeckianism. Henrik Sch\u00fcck agreed with G\u00f6del, pointing out that Lundius had written a thesis on Zalmoxis, a figure mentioned in Herodotus' Histories, whom Lundius believed had been the first lawmaker of the ancient Goths (i.e. the ancient inhabitants of Sweden and ancestors of the Swedes). Lundius' thesis, entitled \u201cZamolxis Primus Getarum Legislator\u201d, had been published just three years prior to the appearance of Halpap's dissertation, namely in 1687. It connects to the manuscript which Halpap claims to have found, since a few lines of a story appear before the beginning of Hjalmars och Ramers saga there, and among those lines we find mentioned \u201csamolis\u201d who came from the Greeks (presumably intended to be the same"}, {"text": "as Zamolxis/Zalmoxis). On this basis, Sch\u00fcck says: Inf\u00f6r dessa fakta synes det om\u00f6jligt att f\u00f6rneka Lundius' skuld, ty att fyndet just var avsett att styrka hans uppgifter om Zamolxis. (Faced with these facts it seems impossible to deny Lundius' culpability, since the find was precisely calculated to strengthen his information about Zamolxis.) Nils Ahnlund, however, speculated as to whether a forger named Nils Rabenius might have played a part in the creation of the saga: [...] i episoden med den uppl\u00e4ndske allmogemannen, som \u00f6verl\u00e4mnar manuskriptet till Halpap, erinrar icke s\u00e5 litet om Ullspegelsynnet hos den person, som \u00e5tminstone i tv\u00e5 s\u00e4rskilda fall bevisligen anv\u00e4nt Lundius som sin kanal.

There were few rooms, so most of the artists boarded elsewhere in the town. Its most famous resident was Paul Gauguin who stayed several times between 1886 and 1894. Today the building houses a bookstore, gallery and exhibition space. Artists discover the village. Pont-Aven was \"discovered\" in 1864 by the American painter Henry Bacon (1839\u20131912). Two American art students, Earl Shinn (1838\u20131886) and Howard Roberts (1843\u20131900), arrived in Paris in the spring on 1866 and applied for admission to the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts. Their teacher in Philadelphia, Robert Wylie (1839\u20131877), had encouraged them to visit Pont-Aven in the summer. Word spread, and about twelve American and English artists spent the summer of 1866 in the village.

Proprietors. The Pension Gloanec was opened in 1860 by Marie-Jeanne Gloanec (1839\u20131915) and Joseph Gloanec (1829\u20131906). Marie-Jeanne Morvant, later known as \"La M\u00e8re Gloanec\", was born on 8 February 1839 in Pont-Aven, daughter of a tailor and a chambermaid. Some time later her father opened a small inn, where Marie-Jeanne learned the trade. Her future husband was born on 10 March 1829 in Pont-Scorff. Both Joseph and Marie-Jeanne Gloanec were almost illiterate. Joseph Gloanec worked as a sawyer and mill repairer before they opened the inn.

There were few rooms for rent, and most of the artists lived elsewhere in the town and only ate at the pension. The auberge had only two rooms on the ground floor. At the front the kitchen-living room was entered from the square, and had a large fireplace. Corwin Knapp Linson (1864\u20131959) said the kitchen had two great Breton beds on either side of the fireside in which the mistress and her maids slept. He wrote that the \"time honoured fireplace was framed in a blazonment of brass and copper utensils which blinked, flashed, glowed according to ever changing humour of light.\" Behind the kitchen was the dining room, where food was served \"to fatten you on the spot\".

The \"patronnes\" would often extend credit to the artists, or accept paintings as payment, and the artists were proud to have their work accepted and displayed. In this way, the Gloanecs acquired a major collection.

Thomas Hovenden stayed in the pension at that time, as did the American brothers Alexander and Birge Harrison. Henry Blackburn's \"Breton Folk: An Artistic Tour of Brittany\" (1880) described the pension as a quaint little auberge down by the bridge. The signboard was painted by one of the inmates, and the panels of the rooms were also decorated with works of art. It was the true Bohemian home in the town where lodgings and two good meals per day with cider could be had for \"sixty francs\" a month.

Marie Jeanne Gloanec, \"la m\u00e8re des peintres\", earned enough from her painters to build a larger hotel in the town square. In 1892 the establishment was transferred to the Hotel Gloanec on the town square, later renamed the Hotel Le Glouannec.

The aspirations of the traders of Carlisle were more local, as they wanted improved facilities for ships bringing goods to Carlisle from Liverpool, Ireland, and Scottish ports. In 1795, three ships carrying around 35 tons each were regularly running between Liverpool and Sandsfield, about from Carlisle, from where some 1,000 tons of goods per year were carried by road to the city.

He estimated that it would cost between \u00a390,000 and \u00a3100,000 to build, but conceded that a terminus near Bowness on the Solway Firth would be cheaper. \u00a340,000 would pay for a canal suitable for 45-ton boats, but a larger canal, suitable for 90-ton boats that could cross the Irish Sea or reach the Forth and Clyde Canal, would cost between \u00a355,000 and \u00a360,000.

In 1824, they kick-started a trade in bricks, by importing two boat loads, which they sold from the quays at Carlisle. Suspecting that the reservoir might not be adequate for the number of boats using the canal, they built a feeder from the river, with a water wheel to raise the water to the level of the canal. There were attempts to avoid the tolls on the canal, with some ships carrying timber waiting for favourable tides, and using the river to reach Rockcliffe, where the timber was loaded into carts.

The steamer service to Liverpool began at about the same time, although the packet boat only ran in the summer months to begin with. As well as passengers, the steamer also carried goods, and these were carried along the canal by lighters. The Solway Hotel opened in Port Carlisle soon afterwards. In August 1824, there were public meetings in Newcastle, to consider again the idea of a canal to Carlisle, or possibly a railway. William Chapman, who had surveyed a route for a canal in 1796, suggested that the route was also suitable for a railway, and was asked to cost both options. He quoted \u00a3888,000 for a canal and \u00a3252,488 for a railway. A company was created to build a railway, although they did not obtain the Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Carlisle Railway Act 1829 (10 Geo. 4. c. lxxii) until a couple more years had past.

Tolls had averaged \u00a32,905 for the three years to 1835, but by 1840, they had reached \u00a36,605. Receipts from the packet boat had also climbed steadily, to \u00a3829 in 1850, and the company had been able to pay dividends to shareholders, starting at 1 per cent in 1833, and rising to 4 per cent by 1839. Further progress was made. In early 1832, several shipowners had placed buoys in the Solway Firth, to mark the channel, and started collecting funds from ships to cover their costs. They asked the canal company to take over responsibility for this, and they did so. In 1833, the Carlisle and Annan Navigation Company asked for a berth at Port Carlisle for their new service to Annan and Liverpool, and one was built.

The old packet boat, \"Bailie Nicol Jarvie\", was sold for \u00a37 12 shillings (\u00a37.60), and the company also started an omnibus service between Carlisle basin and the town centre. To improve the water supply, William Fairbairn was paid \u00a31,391 to construct a new waterwheel and pumps, and these were commissioned in 1835. However, they pumps did not work as well as anticipated, and Harvey's of Hoyle provided a steam engine and pumps in 1838, at a cost of \u00a33,700. These supplemented the waterwheel, being used when river levels were too low to drive it, or when the reservoir needed filling. The Admiralty surveyed the Solway Firth in 1835, and were asked for advice on buoys to mark the channel. The berths at Port Carlisle were dredged, and plans for an inner and outer dock were formulated. John Hartley of Liverpool had produced designs by November 1835, and an act of Parliament, the (6 & 7 Will. 4. c. lx), was obtained. It allowed the company to borrow another \u00a340,000, and included powers to light and buoy the Solway Firth.

Traffic on the canal increased with the arrival of the railway at Carlisle basin. This included coal from Lord Carlisle's mines, and also from the Blenkinsopp Coal Company, who were based at Greenhead. The company decided to carry coal in barges, which were towed by a tug when operating on the Solway Firth, although they had initially considered using boats or rafts onto which the loaded railway wagons would be shunted. A second packet boat was obtained from Paisley in July 1838, and tolls on the canal and railway were reduced in 1838 and 1839, to encourage through traffic. The increase in traffic was sufficient that the men who worked as bridge and lock keepers were paid extra amounts in view of their increased workload.

However, the boom did not last long, and the company found that it was in competition with the railways. The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway was authorised in 1844, and was a direct threat to the steamer service and canal. The Maryport and Carlisle Railway had been authorised in 1837, but its opening was delayed until 1845 by financial difficulties. It was extended to Whitehaven in early 1847 by the opening of the Whitehaven Junction Railway, and at the end of the year the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway opened. The Caledonian Railway opened in February 1848, running northwards from Carlisle to Scotland.

They entertained the directors"}, {"text": "of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway in May, and in July were instructed by the shareholders to begin negotiations with that company, or another of the railway companies with lines to Carlisle.

Despite the sale of the packet boat \"Clarence\" in 1847, and the withdrawal of the steamer service from Port Carlisle to Annan, passenger traffic remained good, but in April 1850 was affected by the introduction of cheaper fares to Liverpool, using the railway from Carlisle to Whitehaven, and a much shorter sea voyage from there to Liverpool. In March 1852 the company decided that the best option was to convert the canal into a railway, raised some money from shareholders and loan holders, and sought an act of Parliament. Work began in June 1853, although the Port Carlisle Dock and Railway Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. cxix) was not obtained until 3 August.

They produced numerous publications on this topic, almost all published jointly, which remain the classic reference works on the Portuguese and Spanish megalithic. They developed a systematic method of research based on direct observation, drawings and photographs, coupled with the discussion of available sources. Over several decades, they visited, studied and described hundreds of megalithic monuments throughout Spain and Portugal.

As usual for girls at the time, the focus of her education was the study of music and painting. Georg Leisner's father came from a merchant family in Eckernf\u00f6rde to the northwest of Kiel. His mother came from an old family of Kiel master craftsmen. Georg spent his childhood in Kiel, where he completed pre-university studies in 1891. In the same year he joined the Bavarian Army.

In 1928, at the age of 62, Georg earned his doctorate on megalithic tombs in the Spanish region of Galicia, under the supervision of Gero von Merhart. Since Vera had not yet graduated, they were faced with a choice of whether she should first obtain a degree or begin field work with her husband immediately. They chose the latter. They travelled for seven months in 1929 and 1930 through the Iberian Peninsula, including the Algarve in Portugal, where they visited the Megalithic Monuments of Alcalar.

The Leisners travelled three times to the south of the Iberian Peninsula up to 1934 to study and document all megalithic tombs in Iberia.

Initially working in southern Spain, they began systematic mapping of the megalithic tombs of Andalusia.

In the couple's travels over many years they visited the sites of megalithic graves, drew new plans and discovered many hundreds of sites that had been completely unknown. With limited resources they had to rely on their network of contacts to provide local connections and logistical support and accommodation for the numerous journeys made by train, bus, car, horse wagon, donkey, mule, bicycle or on foot. With the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War they were forced to return to Germany, where they produced the first volume, \"The South,\" of the planned work, \"The Megalithic Tombs of the Iberian Peninsula\" (\"Die Megalithgr\u00e4ber der Iberischen Halbinsel\"), which was published in the middle of World War II.

They were in Portugal when they learned that their Munich apartment had been destroyed by an Allied bombing raid, with the loss of important documents and research material. As a consequence they decided to stay in Portugal's capital, Lisbon, where they lived until their respective deaths. What was expected to be a two-month visit, for which they had a visa, was repeatedly extended, but not without some problems with the Portuguese security authorities. This was a time of considerable economic hardship but the \"Instituto de Alta Cultura\" (Institute of High Culture) of the Ministry of Education gave them some research assignments and, for a time, they also had a scholarship from the Siemens company.

This made it possible to understand their reasoning. Besides photographs, their drawing of plans of tombs (mostly dolmen) can still be used today. Some are especially useful as the structures have since been destroyed. The same observations can be made about photographs and drawings of artifacts, grouped by each tomb studied.

Data General later purchased rights to a much-expanded BASIC which was released as Data General Business Basic. This added powerful database functionality and largely replaced Extended BASIC on DG platforms. Description. Mathematics. The internal floating point number format normally used two 16-bit words for a total of 32-bits, stored least significant bit first. Bit 0 was the sign, 1 through 7 was the exponent stored in excess-64 format, and 8 through 31 the mantissa stored"}, {"text": "as hexadecimal digits. Numbers could alternately use a double-precision format that extended the mantissa only, adding another 32-bits. That meant the double-precision format did not extend the range of numbers that could be stored, only the accuracy of those numbers. Possible numbers ranged from 5.4 to \u22127.2. Numbers with less than six digits were displayed as decimals, while those with more were displayed in exponent format. Variable names could consist of a single letter, or a letter and a single digit. Two-letter names were not allowed. Arrays could be med in 1 (array) or 2 (matrix) dimensions, and the lower bound was always 1. As was common at the time, variables with no defaulted to a 1-D array of 10 elements. Confusingly, if a variable \"was\" ed, it was not the same as a variable with the same name that had not been ed; and might be the same or different variables depending on how they were created. Mathematics operators were the standard set, with the addition of a unary plus. Relational operators for comparisons were also the standard set, there was no for not-equals as found in some contemporary BASICs. Matrix math.

These were, in essence, macros that performed operations that would otherwise be accomplished with loops. The system included a number of pre-rolled matrixes, like for a zero-matrix, for a matrix of all 1's, and for the identity matrix. Most mathematical operations were supported, for instance, multiplies every element in A by 2. takes the determinant, and inverts it. Strings. String literals (constants) were entered between double-quotes. Characters within strings could be escaped by placing their ASCII value between angle-brackets, for instance, String variables, like their numeric counterparts, consisted of only a single letter, or one letter and one digit. As is the case for all variables in Extended BASIC, string variables were normally allocated ten spaces, but could be extended up to a maximum of 32 k with an explicit . Because the array syntax was used to declare the length of the string, string arrays were not possible. Assigning a string to a variable that was too small too hold it resulted in any excess being truncated. String manipulation was carried out using array slicing syntax. referred to the substring from position 10 to the end of the string, while referred to"}, {"text": "characters 10 through 20. Concatenation used the comma, so added to the end of . This was an uncommon syntax, even when it was being introduced, most BASICs using slicing used that for concatenation as well, for instance, would append at the end of , while those using string functions, like Microsoft BASIC, already widely used the plus sign for this operation. This syntax change was because Extended BASIC allowed math operators to be applied to strings, up to the first non-numeric character. For instance, would put 3579 into A, without the need to explicitly convert them to numerics. In most dialects, this task would require both numbers to be converted to numbers using the function, like . Non-numerics were simply ignored, put 1234 into A. Extended BASIC lacked the command from Dartmouth that converted an entire string to or from ASCII values in an array, for instance, which results in B being assigned 10 numbers, each one an ASCII value. This system was replaced with the slicing system. Statements. Extended BASIC is otherwise similar to Dartmouth and Microsoft BASIC in the variety of commands it supports and their syntax.

Today, coffee shops serve as a niche within their urban cultures. While it was introduced earlier in history during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by Dutch and Portuguese traders, it rapidly gained popularity at the turn of the twentieth century. It supports the social aspects of Japan, serving both as a space to connect but also to alleviate oneself from social pressures. Coffee is also defined by class interactions and classicist behaviors and has economic influence through the mass amount of import of coffee and the mass consumption of coffee in Japan in its many different forms. History. Coffee first arrived in Japan via Dutch traders in 1700. The first shop opened in 1888 and was called Kahiichakan. It lasted five years before going bankrupt. In 1933, founded Ueshima Tadao Shoten in Kobe. Ueshima has since been dubbed the \"Father of Coffee in Japan\". During World War II, the Japanese established a ban on coffee imports until 1950. In 1969, Ueshima redeveloped and mass-produced the canned coffee making it a commodity to be consumed anywhere. Some canned coffee brands include \"Boss (produced by Suntory), Georgia (produced by"}, {"text": "Coca-Cola), Nescafe (produced by Nestl\u00e9), and (produced by Japan Tobacco)\". Following its brief stint in the Meiji period, coffee wove its way back into the Japanese markets in the 1960s. During World War II coffee import was banned in Japan as they were in conflict with the influential west. To measure its growth in consumption, Japan imported 15,000 tonnes back in 1960. Today, the numbers total over 440,000 tonnes. Japan's spike in coffee consumption can be linked to its fascination with western cultures leading to large investments. Mr. Ueshima also played a large role in the establishment of the in 1980. In the same year, Doutor Coffee opened the country's first chain furthering the consumption and turning coffee into a valuable economic resource. Part of Doutor's success was its on-the-go environment. This facilitated and encouraged people to take their coffee with them to work and to school. Types of coffee shops.

Bigger chains like McDonald's and Starbucks are rooted in the west and have pushed themselves upon the growing coffee market in Japan through storefronts and stands. Big or small, they both have been heavily influenced by the west. Smaller chains like Boss and Roots enlisted the help of prominent Americans Tommy Lee Jones (Boss) and Brad Pitt (Roots) to be their spokespeople and advertise for them. Bigger Chains like Starbucks emerged to capitalize on the new booming coffee industry in Japan. The first Starbucks opened in Ginza, Tokyo, in 1996. In 2005, they partnered with Suntory to sell their own canned coffee. Over time, Starbucks has grown to over 1,000 Japanese shops clustered around the cities. In response, McDonald's McCafe has sprouted up where instead of having a whole McDonald's store there is simply a stand selling McDonald's coffee. These standalone shops were officially established in 2007 and target coffee and small on-the-go treats. Tully's is a third foreign enterprise stemming out of Seattle, Washington.

Popular convenience store, Seven-Eleven, for example, currently sells 1.1 billion take-out coffees annually. Culture. Coffee culture in Japan is one of the most unique observed globally. One serving custom is that the cup handle is traditionally placed to the left of the drinker, while the spoon handle faces the right. Due to the product's foreign origins, Japanese coffee culture is heavily connected to the identity of being foreign or western. Coffee franchises such as Starbucks (whose first non-US location was in Japan) are viewed and enjoyed in the same way as the Disneyland franchise in Japan. The perceived westernness of coffee culture resulted in the beverage being banned during World War II. In postwar Japan, Western products and goods were indicators of the new Japanese middle class. High-grade coffee equipment, as well as ground coffee, fell into this category. In the world of post-war Japan, jazz caf\u00e9s and coffee they served were examples of Japan's efforts to modernize its culture and society in the vein of Western countries.

Coffee culture differs greatly from traditional Japanese tea culture. Coffee is primarily viewed as a solitary drink in the West, and Japan has a similar view of the beverage. In the 1960s and 1970s, coffee became popular with Japanese businessmen working alone in public. The social element of Japanese coffee itself is radically different from that of Japanese tea culture. In Japan, tea culture is a social, unifying event, expressed through the traditional Japanese tea ceremony, which is an expression of hospitality and respect towards friends and guests. Coffee shops and coffee produced there, on the other hand, serve a more disruptive social function. Coffee shops in Japan served as meeting places for social movements aimed at transforming and disrupting Japanese society during the 1970s and 1980s. These social movements include Japanese feminist groups and various anti-government movements. While serving as a symbol for Japanese businessmen as well as youthful activists, types of coffee products also serve to illustrate a divide between age groups. Instant coffee is viewed as common, while ground and fresh coffee beans are viewed as luxury goods.

Japanese coffee production is an international affair. Coffee beans sold and roasted in Japan are primarily grown in countries such as Brazil, Indonesia and other countries with warm climates. Between 1908 and 1924, roughly 35,000 Japanese citizens emigrated to Brazil to work on coffee farms. These Japanese Brazilians would then bring coffee back to Japan. Japan\u2019s coffee culture has also adopted the language and terminology used in English speaking Western countries such as roast and drip rather than create Japanese terms.

The line is still in use today by NI Railways and forms part of the Belfast to Derry-Londonderry main line. History. The Londonderry and Coleraine Railway was incorporated in 1845 and was opened in stages from 1852 to 1853.

Construction of which began in June 1846. The blasting of the tunnels the longest of which is at 275 metres long the longest in Ireland attracted a crowd of up to 12,000. The blasting of the tunnels took 3600 lbs of gunpowder. When the tunnel was complete a banquet for 500 people was held in the tunnel, the event became known locally as the Great Blast. In 1852 the first sections of the railway between Londonderry and Limavady were ready for use. The Board of Trade authorised the opening of the line to goods traffic in October but were initially reluctant to authorise passenger traffic. Eventually authorisation was given by the end of December that year. Work on the line continued towards Coleraine from Broharris Junction four miles from Limavady. From the mouth of Lough Foyle the line went east before following the River Bann into Coleraine. Initially the line terminated on the west bank of the Bann.

As well as the mainline between Londonderry and Coleraine there were some small branch lines. The first branch from the small town of Magilligan to Magiligan Point. Magilligan Point is a promontory in the mouth of Lough Foyle, and it was hoped a ferry service from here to County Donegal could be established and thus be an extra source of traffic. The four-and-a-half-mile line was built without parliamentary approval and appears to have been opened without Board of Trade authorisation in June/July 1855. It appears that it was unprofitable and was closed by October 1855 making it the shortest-lived passenger rail line in Ireland. Ironically a seasonal ferry service between Magilligan Point and County Donegal is in operation today. When the line opened between Londonderry and Limavady in 1852, construction work towards Coleraine started four miles from Limavady station.

The line was worked from the outset by the BNCR (who acquired the Londonderry and Coleraine) as part of the Limavady branch. The branch was completely closed to passengers in 1950 with goods ceasing in 1955. Despite the loss of its branch, Limavady Junction remained open to mainline trains until 1976. Amalgamation. The L&CR struggled with financial difficulties and from 1861 leased their line to the growing Belfast & Northern Counties Railway (BNCR).

These railcars were built specifically with the line to Londonderry in mind with the first 10 being allocated for express services between that city and Belfast. The railways of the UTA suffered neglect from government as a result many MPDs were (as were the earlier MEDs) constructed from older coach bodies and frames.
