John Buchan wrote The 39 Steps because he found himself in a similar position to Richard Hannay at the beginning of the play; bored, be-duodenal ulcered and stuck in Broadstairs, a place which proved a great deal more uninteresting than South Africa, where he had been working. He had exhausted his supply of airport thrillers to distract him during his recovery. And so, he resolved to write his own. What he produced was a thrilling, just-about-unbelievable-ripping-yarn; exactly the tonic he required to distract himself from the suppurating wound in his tummy. I can testify for myself just how effective it is; I first read this book as an ill teenager, and in an unprecedented and (ashamedly) only once repeated anomaly, I drank its 100 pages or so in on one sitting.

Many attempts have been made to adapt the book for television or film, however none has been so evocative as Alfred Hitchcock’s take, released in 1935. Robert Donat’s velvety good looks, Madeleine Carroll’s blonde feistiness and the dramatic backdrops, all more or less convincingly created in a studio, amounts to a spectacularly enduring and endearing adventure caper. This is the film which has been so seamlessly adapted for stage by Patrick Barlow and shall be ticked off hilariously in the Byre on Monday and Tuesday.                                                                                                 

This play recreates the Hitchcock classic with the utmost faith. The thrilling chase sequences are all there, the Forth Bridge, the aeroplane chase, the hair-raising denouement, but with five actors playing the nigh on 120 different characters. Or something; I mean I haven’t really counted but the ratio is definitely off.

The film, nor the play, is not an accurate depiction of the book whatsoever, but Buchan loved it nonetheless. This swashbuckling adventure story is irresistible. So come along next week; If you enjoy watching the thing nearly half as much as we have enjoyed working on it, we shall be ahead of the game!

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  18. Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Accreditation and its Stringent Standards
    COSC, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that verifies the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC validation is a sign of superior craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC certification, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own stringent criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO, reaching equivalent accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The core system of a mechanical timepiece involves the mainspring, which delivers power as it unwinds. This system, however, can be prone to environmental elements that may influence its precision. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo rigorous testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (five positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Typical daily rate precision between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, highest variation levels, and effects of thermal changes.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For timepiece enthusiasts and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated timepiece isn’t just a piece of tech but a demonstration to enduring excellence and accuracy. It symbolizes a timepiece that:

    Provides outstanding reliability and accuracy.
    Offers confidence of quality across the whole construction of the watch.
    Is apt to hold its value more effectively, making it a smart investment.
    Well-known Timepiece Manufacturers
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which showcase COSC-validated mechanisms equipped with cutting-edge materials like silicone balance springs to boost durability and efficiency.

    Historical Background and the Development of Chronometers
    The concept of the timepiece dates back to the need for exact timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the accreditation has become a yardstick for judging the precision of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-certified watch is more than an visual selection; it’s a commitment to excellence and accuracy. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC validation provides peace of thoughts, ensuring that each validated timepiece will operate dependably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-accredited timepieces stand out in the world of horology, bearing on a legacy of careful timekeeping.

  23. 로드스탁과의 레버리지 방식의 스탁: 투자 전략의 새로운 지평

    로드스탁에서 제공되는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 주식 투자의 한 방식으로, 상당한 수익률을 목표로 하는 투자자들에게 매혹적인 선택입니다. 레버리지 사용을 사용하는 이 전략은 투자하는 사람들이 자신의 자본을 초과하는 자금을 투자할 수 있도록 함으로써, 증권 시장에서 훨씬 큰 영향력을 가질 수 있는 기회를 공급합니다.

    레버리지 스탁의 기본 원칙
    레버리지 스탁은 일반적으로 자금을 대여하여 투자하는 방식입니다. 예를 들어, 100만 원의 투자금으로 1,000만 원 상당의 주식을 사들일 수 있는데, 이는 투자자가 기본적인 투자 금액보다 훨씬 훨씬 더 많은 주식을 구매하여, 주식 가격이 상승할 경우 관련된 훨씬 더 큰 수익을 얻을 수 있게 해줍니다. 그렇지만, 증권 값이 하락할 경우에는 그 피해 또한 커질 수 있으므로, 레버리지를 이용할 때는 조심해야 합니다.

    투자 계획과 레버리지
    레버리지는 특히 성장 가능성이 큰 회사에 투입할 때 도움이 됩니다. 이러한 회사에 상당한 비중으로 투자하면, 성공적일 경우 상당한 이익을 획득할 수 있지만, 반대 경우의 경우 많은 위험성도 감수하게 됩니다. 그렇기 때문에, 투자하는 사람은 자신의 위험 관리 능력을 가진 시장 분석을 통해, 어느 사업체에 얼마만큼의 투자금을 적용할지 결정해야 합니다.

    레버리지의 장점과 위험 요소
    레버리지 스탁은 상당한 수익을 약속하지만, 그만큼 높은 위험도 수반합니다. 증권 시장의 변동성은 예상이 힘들기 때문에, 레버리지를 사용할 때는 항상 상장 추세를 세심하게 주시하고, 피해를 최소로 줄일 수 있는 계획을 구성해야 합니다.

    맺음말: 조심스러운 결정이 필수입니다
    로드스탁을 통해 공급하는 레버리지 방식의 스탁은 막강한 투자 수단이며, 적당히 사용하면 많은 수익을 벌어들일 수 있습니다. 그러나 높은 위험성도 고려해야 하며, 투자 선택은 충분히 많은 데이터와 조심스러운 판단 후에 이루어져야 합니다. 투자하는 사람의 재정적 상태, 위험을 감수하는 능력, 그리고 시장의 상황을 반영한 균형 잡힌 투자 방법이 중요하며.
