A great deal of people claim, that Puffy Mattress is undoubtedly, among the most comfy mattresses out there. They compare it to like sleeping on a cloud. Additionally, customers suffering from back pain, say they believe relief with Puffy's Adaptive Flexible Cloud Technology. With Puffy, you get both a 101 night sleep trial, along with a lifetime warranty.
Incredible mattress for the money. Very top quality mattress. It does take two days until the Puffy Mattress is shipped; because the mattress is made to order.
Another fantastic mattress choice, is the popular DreamCloud mattress. Possessing a superior latex coating that is natural, DreamCloud supplies shape that is additional, and a bounce.
Some highlights of this mattress aside from the tufting are stitched handles along the side, a price of $ 1,199 to get a queen size and flax yarns and cashmere blend. To get all these features you may expect to spend north of $5,000.
DreamCloud is a luxury hybrid mattress, offering an entire year sleep trial; versus the normal 100 night trial. New pocket coil technologies permits the manufacturing price to be more economical, as well as the savings are passed directly to the customer.
The milder side of the mattress is composed of 3 inches of aluminum infused memory foam. It's a 3.5lb density, and is an extremely comfortable coating. This is a layer of memory foam, which can be a soft cloth that will permit the sleeper to sink for pressure relief.
Nest Bedding indeed holds the award for the the Best Rated and Best Ranked brand online. They thrive off of their client satisfaction. They offer a lifetime warranty, along with a lifetime comfort guarantee.
Nest Bedding comes in a number of different firmness choices. Too many. They consist of a latex, two memory foam and 3 hybrid mattress choices in their lineup. To be certain, you can get the mattress that is the best alternative for you.Therefore it isn't important if you're lighter, lighter, sleep on your side, or you deal with chronic pain. Nest may match your preferences.
The Nature's Sleep mattress differs from several mattress manufacturers on the marketplace, as it's produced using 4 layers of foam. These four layers give a hand in helping support individuals that are heavier. It helps out by motion transfer that is decreasing.
Nature's Sleep has a coating of Vitex Foam Foam. This aids support along with gives pressure relief. This aids for an excellent evenings rest.
Plushbeds are latex mattresses, where they just use natural, organic materials. Plushbeds have a total of three mattress variations in their lineup: Every mattress has a total of 6 different firmness levels. In the King and Cal King you could also divide the firmness levels.
Loom & Leaf mattresses all come with a 120 night sleep trial, along with a 15 year guarantee. Leaf & Loom offers you a complete refund if you are ever unsatisfied for whatever reason.
Nectar is possibly the most popular and hottest mattress accessible at the time of this writing. It relaxation doesn't leave you frustrated. The support of Nectar is great, and it does not have sinkage.
Saatva is an eco-conscious company which uses environmentally friendly substances during their mattress. As a choice that was green, Saatva has also cornered the market with White Glove delivery that was free establishing themselves as one of those pre-eminent, direct-to-consumer luxury mattresses.
The two largest aspects when seeking to purchase a new mattress, is comfort and also support. There are a couple things that should occur when you lie . You want contour and the sinkage to be appropriate.
You also need a mattress to support your body, as you sleep at night. It is critical to have appropriate alignment as possible sleep.
This is imperative to make sure you get a rest that is healthy, also to guarantee you're decreasing your back and neck pain. While being supportive of your body, a suitable mattress must give stress relief.
The stress points in your body are what's accountable for you thrashing through the day. Memory foam mattresses have made their way by being comfy, but as both supportive.
This is along the very same lines, as when we speak about comfort and support. Just like a mattress should not be too challenging, it should also never be overly soft.A mattress should be as neutral as it could be, to ensure both your spine and body stay in a neutral position.
Too much rigidity at a mattress will irritate the stress factors, making nerves, in addition to the blood. If you find that a good deal of those times you awake, with the sensation of getting pins and needles this is a indication. And when your mattress is too soft, this may create a effect, somewhat like a hammock.
While this occurs, you can wind up with back pain, because of your backbone not being correctly aligned. That is why it's crucial to find a mattress that's close to neutral. You want your mattress without being soft, soft at the correct places.
One of the very overlooked attributes of a mattress is the breathability or temperature neutrality of the mattress material. Possibly the very best attribute of memory foam mattresses is their ability to have the ability to adapt to your body. Irregardless, foam mattresses which have reduced layers are well known to trigger what's called"the toaster outcome".
A mattress grabs your fever,forcing one to break hot. |What happens at a nutshell, is that a mattress absorbs the body heat; inducing one to sleep hot} Most mattress companies nowadays utilize modern technology, to make materials.
It's not a big surprise, so that if you're in the market for a top excellent mattress, it usually comes with an excellent cost tag.It's a big investment to create, so once you purchase one, it's vital to find a mattress which will certainly last you for ages.

GCMulti-Component, Time-Lapse Seismology for Monitoring Reservoir Production Processes*
Robert D. Benson1 and Thomas L. Davis1
*Adapted for online presentation from the Geophysical Corner column in AAPG Explorer September, 2001, entitled "S-Waves Detect Reservoir Flows," and prepared by the authors. Appreciation is expressed to the authors, to R. Randy Ray, Chairman of the AAPG Geophysical Integration Committee, and to Larry Nation, AAPG Communications Director, for their support of this online version.
1Reservoir Characterization Project, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado ([email protected]).
Improving reservoir performance and enhancing hydrocarbon recovery are critical to the future of the petroleum industry -- and to do this, it must be possible to characterize reservoir parameters, including fluid properties, their movement and pressure changes with time. Multi-component, time-lapse seismology has great potential for monitoring fluid movements in reservoirs. The main reason is simply the presence of fluid-filled fractures.
Shear waves (S-waves) are much more sensitive than compressional waves (P-waves) to the presence of fractures or microfractures and the fluid content within the fracture network. Seismic shear wave anisotropy in the reservoir causes two shear modes to form (S1 and S2) and to propagate with different velocities. The faster mode (S1) propagates with its particle motion parallel to the open fracture direction, perpendicular to the minimum horizontal stress (S3) in the reservoir -- a phenomenon called S-wave splitting, or birefringence (Figure 1). Seismic shear wave anisotropy is key to monitoring fluid property changes in fractured media.

Figure 1. Shear-wave polarization and splitting in a fractured material. As an S-wave with an arbitrary polarization direction enters an anisotropic material, the wave splits into S1 and S2 components with different polarizations and different velocities. The wave polarized parallel to the fractures travels faster and is less attenuated that the wave polarized perpendicular to the fractures. After the S-waves emerge from the anisotropic material, they continue to propagate as two S-waves with different polarization directions.
Figure 2. Type log for the Vacuum field area. The San Andres Formation is at an approximate depth of 4,300 feet and is the primary producing formation in the Vacuum Field.
Figure 3. Time-lapse shear-wave velocity anisotropy differences. Phase I) CO2 injection occurred at the CVU-97 well with a prominent S-wave anisotropy anomaly detected to the south. Phase II) CO2 injection occurred at the six offset injectors (indicated by triangles). In the case of the miscible CO2-oil bank, the S2 velocity increased and S1 velocity decreased (purple), whereas, in the case of water injection, the change in effective stress causes the S2 velocity to decrease and S1 velocity to increase (blue).
Figure 4. Phase II seismic anomalies. The upper diagram shows the time-lapse P-wave velocity differences while the lower diagram shows the time-lapse S-wave velocity anisotropy differences. Overlain on each diagram are the S-wave polarization direction differences (areas that have changes in the S-wave polarization direction). Areas of the reservoir that have P-wave velocity and S-wave polarization direction anomalies correspond to zones of the reservoir with pressure changes. Areas of the reservoir that have S-wave anisotropy anomalies correspond to zones with fluid saturation changes.
First 4-D, 9-C Seismic Survey
The first time-lapse (4-D), multi-component (9-C) seismic surveys were acquired at Vacuum Field in Lea County, New Mexico. At the Vacuum Field, shear wave (S-wave) and compressional wave (P-wave) seismic data were used to monitor reservoir fluid property changes associated with a carbon dioxide (CO2) tertiary flood in the Permian San Andres carbonate. Reservoir fluid properties -- including viscosity, density, saturation, and pressure changes -- occur in response to CO2 injection. Changes are caused by CO2 and oil becoming a miscible phase with the oil in place.
These fluid property changes alter the interval velocity and attenuation of S-waves passing through the reservoir interval by up to 10 percent, but cause little (1 to 2 percent) or no measurable change in P-wave velocity and attenuation on the surface seismic data. The Reservoir Characterization Project of the Colorado School of Mines (RCP) has conducted two studies at Vacuum Field:
Phase I efforts centered on monitoring the injection of CO2 from a single wellbore (Benson and Davis, 2000).
Phase II is the dynamic reservoir characterization of a six-well CO2 injection program, which includes the Phase-I wellbore (producing during Phase-II) (Wehner, et al, 2000).
The Vacuum Field was discovered in 1929 with the drilling of the Socony Vacuum State 1 well in Section 13-T17S-R34E of Lea County. The Vacuum Field produces predominantly from the San Andres Formation in a shallow-shelf carbonate depositional setting (Figure 2), which structurally is positioned on the shelf edge of the Northwest Shelf of the Permian Basin. The structurally high shelf crest is located just west of the RCP study area.
Porosity and permeability within the productive zones average 11.8 percent and 22.0 md, respectively. The San Andres gross pay zone can reach 600 feet in thickness, and is divided into two main pay zones: Upper and Lower San Andres. The Lovington Sandstone, a silty interval, segregates the two zones.
Reservoir Characterization
At Central Vacuum Unit (CVU), S-wave splitting is the key to monitoring production processes associated with carbon dioxide (CO2) flooding. Fluid property changes produce variations in the velocities of the split S-waves passing through the reservoir interval. Reservoir fluids change in response to CO2 and oil becoming a miscible phase in the presence of in-situ fluids. Injected CO2 also can create areas of anomalous reservoir pressure. Both fluid and pressure changes are detected by S-wave splitting and velocities, because they are extremely sensitive to the local stress field caused by the natural fracturing in all rocks, especially carbonates.
Distinguishing Injected CO2 From Injected Water
S-wave splitting can distinguish between effective stress changes associated with abnormal fluid pressures and fluid property change. During Phase I of this study, a prominent S-wave splitting anomaly was detected to the south of a cyclic CO2 injection well (CVU 97). This anomaly corresponds to the CO2 flood bank that developed south of this temporary injection well (Figure 3, Phase I).
Noticeable around the periphery to this CO2 anomaly are anisotropy anomalies of opposite sign related to offset wells that were used to contain the CO2 bank through water injection. The sign change of S-wave anisotropy occurs because the relative velocities of the split S-waves reverse. In the case of the miscible CO2-oil bank, the S2 velocity increased and S1 decreased, whereas, in the case of water injection, the effective stress causes S2 to decrease and S1 to increase. Similar effects were observed during the second phase of the monitoring study (Figure 3, Phase II). These results imply that S-wave anisotropy can be used to monitor secondary (water flooding) as well as tertiary (CO2) methods in a spatial context beyond the wellbore.
The greatest need of tertiary recovery operations is to monitor and control the areal and vertical distribution of injected CO2 in the reservoir. Controlled injection can maximize contact with the oil and optimize sweep efficiency so that oil is not bypassed. A spatial image of the tertiary flood-front was visualized by observing time-lapse anisotropy differences. This enables the lateral sweep efficiency of the reservoir to be monitored.
The vertical sweep efficiency can be detected through amplitude differentials of split S-waves. S2 amplitude difference anomalies between the pre- and post-surveys occur dominantly in the Lower San Andres. This is highly encouraging, because S-wave anisotropy may provide higher vertical resolution, enabling a visualization of changes approaching the individual flow-unit scale.
The time-lapse seismic interpretation of the Phase II seismic data showed a differential seismic anisotropy anomaly between the baseline and monitoring survey that coincides with the tertiary flood bank (Figure 3, Phase II). This anomaly was measured over the entire reservoir interval, and is shown as a velocity anomaly where S1 velocity decreased and S2 velocity increased.
Figure 4 shows the correspondence between time-lapse P-wave velocity, time-lapse S-wave polarization direction and time-lapse S-wave velocity anisotropy anomalies. Using this information, it is possible to separate the effective stress changes associated with changing fluid pressure from the fluid saturation changes associated with the tertiary flood bank. As a result, the tertiary flood bank -- and its growth over time -- can be monitored by this technology.
The study indicated that shear wave analysis provided higher resolution than (P-wave data) static reservoir characterization, allowing for visualization of inter-well distribution of secondary porosity, permeability, and fracture zones. Due to rigidity changes associated with fluid replacement in the reservoir, dynamic monitoring with shear wave data provided a means to follow actively the displacement of reservoir fluids with CO2. This dynamic reservoir characterization will provide the industry with the ability to be more proactive, rather than reactive, in the management of reservoirs.

House Committee Probes Sexual Abuse In Sports Following Larry Nassar Revelations
WASHINGTON ― A congressional committee is demanding information from major sports organizations, including USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee, about policies against sexual abuse as lawmakers probe how gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar got away with preying on young athletes for decades.
Reports of Nassar's sex crimes "raise serious concerns about protecting athletes from abuse and mistreatment in organized sports," House Commerce Committee Chair Greg Walden (R-Ore.) said Friday in a statement announcing the probe. He called Nassar's actions "abhorrent."
A Michigan judge this week sentenced Nassar to 40 to 175 years in prison for sexual assault. More than 140 women and girls, including multiple Olympic gymnasts, have come forward to accuse him of abusing them under the guise of medical treatment. Many said they brought their complaints to USA Gymnastics or Michigan State University, where Nassar also worked, but were silenced or ignored.
The House investigation also will include taekwondo and swimming, where athletes also have alleged sexual misconduct and a lack of oversight from the sports' governing bodies.
"These organizations must have mechanisms in place to ensure complete oversight and prevent such abuses from occurring," Walden said. "As we move forward in gathering the facts, this committee intends to hold a hearing in order to investigate these critical issues further."
The committee also sent an inquiry to Michigan State University.
Nassar's crimes have forced the resignations in recent days of several top officials at USA Gymnastics and at Michigan State, including the university president and athletic director. The U.S. Olympic Committee on Thursday threatened to strip USA Gymnastics' certification as the sport's governing body unless its entire board resigns by next week.
Members of Michigan's congressional delegation who serve on the Commerce Committee earlier called on its leaders to investigate the USOC, USA Gymnastics and Michigan State.
Senate lawmakers have also sought to address Nassar's serial crimes, and the broader issue of sexual abuse in sports.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Tuesday will hold an event with several of Nassar's victims, including Rachael Denhollander, the first gymnast to publicly accuse him of assault.
Feinstein plans to demand a House vote on legislation requiring sports governing bodies to immediately report sexual abuse claims to law enforcement officials. The Senate passed the legislation in November.

Trailside Sign Gone from the Proposed Heights Hike-and-Bike Development
by John Nova Lomax
Houston Heights, Proposed Developments, Uncategorized
Over the weekend Surge Homes removed the sign promising "future development" along the Heights Hike-and-Bike Trail. Workers took the recently-installed bike-scaled billboard Saturday morning. It appears that the sign had been squatting on a public right-of-way.
Around the same time, the newly-created Surge Homes released lots of new information for the trailside colony. Surge is run by the same principals involved with Canada's Group LSR who closed on the property in 2004. Sporadic attempts to develop the site have so far borne no fruit.
Aerial views show that the project would take quite a bite out of the pocket forest currently on the site; access would come via a lengthened E. 5th St., not a trail-crossing extension of Frasier St., as in an earlier proposal.

Here's the sign that a reader says went up earlier this week along the south side of the Heights hike-and-bike trail just south of the Freeland Historic District, at the ends of Frasier St. and E. 5th 1/2 St. Does the promise of "future development" mean that another developer is taking a turn trying to develop the 1.4-acre parcel of land where a proposed 80-plus-unit condo project known variously as Emes Place or Viewpoint at the Heights stirred up a fair amount of neighborhood opposition when it was last in the news a couple of years ago?

The Canadian developers behind an on-again-off-again 84-unit condo project planned for a 1.4-acre wooded property at the end of E. 5th St. adjacent to the Heights hike-and-bike trail have withdrawn their variance request to build a private street for a new Emes Place subdivision. But neighborhood opponents of the project, called Viewpoint at the Heights, may like Group LSR's newest plans less than the ones they had been fighting against. The Planning Department's Suzy Hartgrove tells the Leader's Charlotte Aguilar that the developers of the Serento and Piedmont at River Oaks now plan to construct a public street over a bridge and build their own cul de sac. The latest plans make no mention of the size of condo the company is proposing. And if the new design meets city standards, the city's planning commission wouldn't have an opportunity to require any site changes on the project when it comes up for approval this Thursday.

Freeland Historic District, Houston Heights, Neighborhood Disputes, Proposed Developments
Neighbors in the Freeland Historic District who imagined the nationwide economic downturn and neighborhood protests a few years ago would have been enough to kill a threatened 65-70-condo development on a wooded tract next to the new Heights hike-and-bike trail have been buzzing about the project's apparent reappearance. On the agenda for this week's planning commission meeting: the Emes Place Subdivision, which will give the long-landlocked site access by connecting Frasier St. and E. 5th St. across the trail, just north of White Oak Bayou. The subdivision plat is listed as a "consent item," meaning its approval is not scheduled to be put up for a separate vote.
Viewpoint at the Heights, slated for that subdivision, is a project of Canada's Group LSR, which goes by the name Inner Loop Condos in Houston. The company developed the Serento Condominium near the Med Center and the Piedmont sorta near River Oaks. Freeland residents have heard the building being proposed for the 1-acre site will be 4 or 5 stories tall.

When last Swamplot visited the tiny Freeland Historic District at the foot of the Heights almost a year ago, Samantha Wood and her husband, architect Jack Preston Wood, had just given up on plans to purchase a little bungalow at 536 Granberry St., demolish it, and replace it with a new 1-1/2-story bungalow. The Woods' earlier plans — to build two 4-story townhomes on the property — stirred up protests from neighbors and a rejection from the city historical commission.
Did all that hullabaloo in the newly-minted historic district scare off potential buyers? A Freeland neighbor says no — and suspects most of the neighborhood's new attention is coming from builders:
525 Granberry Street (now listed on the tax rolls and MLS as 525 E. 5th 1/2 Street) went on the market last week. So many offers have been received they ask that final bids go in tomorrow, April 16.
Why would builders be so interested in this property?

And it's . . . off! The building designer who had planned to demolish a 1920 bungalow in the newly designated Freeland Historic District and build two 4-story townhomes in its place has now backed out of the deal completely. In a letter to neighborhood residents, Jack Preston Wood and his wife, Samantha Wood, say they've canceled their purchase contract for 536 Granberry, in the soppy southern reaches of the Heights.
What made them change their minds? Maybe . . . the gentle encouragement of their would-be neighbors?
We received mean spirited mail, emails, blogs, and visits to our business website all because we were planning on tearing down a house in very poor condition and replacing it with a new compatible home.
The Woods say that after the city historical commission rejected their demolition and construction plans in mid-March, they abandoned the double-townhouse idea and decided instead to replace the bungalow with a new 2800-sq.-ft. 1-1/2-story bungalow. But the neighbors kept at it:
Even though we had sent a response that we were not going to build our original plans and we were working on new plans the neighborhood still held a protest and plastered Freeland with signs. As we watched the news clip on the protest we began to realize that any new home, no matter how compatible, would not be accepted because the Freeland mantra was to remain an "intact" neighborhood. . . .
About three weeks into the six weeks, we realized that we had become the "Poster Child" to deter and slowdown development in the area.
Lots more fun in the full text of the Woods' letter, reprinted — along with a neighbor's response — below:

Jack Preston Wood: Making an Impression in the Freeland Historic District
House designer Jack Preston Wood has apparently had second thoughts about his plan to build two 4-story townhomes where this bungalow now sits in the Freeland Historic District. The city historic commission turned down both his new-construction and demolition plans last month, and neighbors have been writing him letters and protesting every weekend since.
Freeland Historic District is a collection of 35 bungalows, marked down from the original 37, on two blocks south of White Oak Blvd. at the damp end of the Heights. There's been no new construction in the district — which was designated just last fall — and residents have been working hard to keep it that way.
Wood tells Chronicle reporter Robin Foster that neither the Realtor nor the owner of the house told him that the house at 536 Granberry was in an historic district before he signed a contract to buy it:

Q&A: Jim Beveridge, Johnnie Walker master blender!
Master of Malt Blog
We're drinking…
Kristiane Sherry
2 Comments on Q&A: Jim Beveridge, Johnnie Walker master blender!
He looks after more casks than there are people in Scotland, leads a blending team of 12, and creates the world's best-selling blended Scotch whisky… Meet Johnnie Walker's Jim Beveridge!
Newsflash: Johnnie Walker, already the most popular Scotch whisky name in the world, has returned to triumphant growth. According to Brand Champions figures, released by trade magazine The Spirits Business this month, the brand saw volume sales soar by 5.2% to 18.3 million 9-litre case sales in 2017. That's a LOT of whisky. And it's the most the brand has shifted since 2013. In other words, Johnnie Walker is ON.
The secret to its success? It's impossible to narrow it down to just one. But the team producing the stuff, led by master blender Jim Beveridge, should get a shout out. They preside over millions upon millions of casks, maturing all across Scotland, and it is their expertise that brings expressions such as Black Label, Blue Label, the experimental Blenders' Batch releases and even the luxurious Odyssey to life.
We catch up with Beveridge to find out how he keeps his eye on so many expressions at once, get the lowdown on recipe development, and make him pick out just one Johnnie Walker dram…
MoM: Give our readers an insight into a typical day on the blending team…
Jim Beveridge: There's a small team of 12 whisky-makers who are responsible for all of the whiskies in the Johnnie Walker portfolio. On any given day, there are a range of projects on the go so it's hard to describe a 'typical' day, because many of those projects are at different stages of completion. Some blenders will be nosing or innovating with samples from our stocks of over 10m casks to choose the right malts and grains for our new and experimental whiskies, while others will be working on our established range. Others could have meetings with brand ambassadors or Johnnie Walker colleagues to discuss things as diverse as tasting notes, research and development, upcoming events, new product initiatives, and media enquiries. Or we could be on the road visiting our wider teams in distilleries and warehouses the length and breadth of Scotland. Our priority is making exceptional whisky and nowadays, to do that, it takes all these jobs and more.
Precision stuff…
How is the team structured? Do some of you look after different expressions/areas of NPD, or do you all pitch in on every project?
I lead a team of 12 very passionate and skilled people, who bring a tremendous amount of craft and knowledge to the table. So, it's very much a collaborative process and as a team we nose hundreds of samples in a week, sharing ideas and building knowledge together. Each member of the team has their own interests, which I am always keen to encourage, but ultimately we work as a team exploring flavour – always trying to push the boundaries of what is possible in whisky.
How many casks do you have an eye on at any one time?
We oversee the development of more than 10 million casks from over 30 distilleries in every region across Scotland. That's more casks than there are people in Scotland!
Some of the ingredients for a classic blend
How do you balance stock from so many distilleries simultaneously?
I try not to think about the numbers. It's hard to appreciate until you see casks in a warehouse, to see the space that it takes up. Instead, the way we approach things is to concentrate our minds on the pursuit of flavour. When you come from that point of view it's a lot more manageable.
How do you develop a new recipe for a Johnnie Walker blend? Do you have certain distilleries in mind, or do you work back from having a finished character in mind?
Whatever we do is always in the pursuit of flavour – sometimes we have a very clear picture of what we want to achieve when we begin. Then at other times it is the process of experimentation that opens new flavour routes. So, I suppose it's a bit of both really.
What's your go-to Johnnie Walker expression?
I love them all but if pushed, right now I am enjoying Johnnie Walker Black Label. It goes so well in a Highball, Johnnie Walker Black Label and soda, it's a very refreshing drink but what I like about it most is that it showcases the whisky. It's a brilliant way to taste the richness of Johnnie Walker Black Label.
Jim and some of his creations
Interest in premium-plus blended Scotch whisky is having something of a resurgence. What do you think is driving the renewed interest?
Whisk(e)y is on fire right now – there's a real surge of interest and that's great to see. People want great tasting whisky that has passion and expertise behind it, whether it is premium or otherwise. They're keen to know the provenance of what they're consuming. Happily, our focus has always been on taste, the authenticity and the quality of our Scotch. We've always been immensely proud of the craft that goes into creating each one of our whiskies. It's wonderful to see people appreciating great whisky more than ever.
How will you communicate your blending work at the new Johnnie Walker visitor centre? It's incredibly exciting!
Like you, I'm incredibly excited about the new Johnnie Walker Experience. When it is complete, it will tell the story of the art of whisky making, from distilling to blending, bringing to life the unique people, heritage and places that goes into making great Scotch whisky. Johnnie Walker is made up of the finest Scotch whiskies from a wide range of distilleries. So, while it is a Johnnie Walker experience, it will also build knowledge and engagement with the world of Scotch whisky more broadly. Unfortunately, I can't tell you anymore just yet, but I can't wait for people to see it!

History of Belgium
Belgian wine
Coordinates: 50°50′N 4°00′E / 50.833°N 4.000°E / 50.833; 4.000
Belgium ( i/ˈbɛldʒəm/; Dutch: België [ˈbɛlɣijə]; French: Belgique [bɛlʒik]; German: Belgien [ˈbɛlɡiən]), officially the Kingdom of Belgium, is a sovereign state in Western Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts several of the EU's official seats and as well as the headquarters of many major international organizations such as NATO. Belgium covers an area of 30,528 square kilometres (11,787 sq mi) and has a population of about 11 million people.
Straddling the cultural boundary between Germanic and Latin Europe, Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups: the Dutch-speaking, mostly Flemish community, which constitutes about 59% of the population, and the French-speaking, mostly Walloon population, which comprises 41% of all Belgians. Additionally, there is a small group of German-speakers who live in the East Cantons located around the High Fens area, and bordering Germany.
Belgium is a federal constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. Its two largest regions are the Dutch-speaking region of Flanders in the north and the French-speaking southern region of Wallonia. The Brussels-Capital Region, officially bilingual, is a mostly French-speaking enclave within the Flemish Region. A German-speaking Community exists in eastern Wallonia. Belgium's linguistic diversity and related political conflicts are reflected in its political history and complex system of government.

The history of Belgium stretches back before the origin of the modern state of that name in 1830. Belgium's history is intertwined with those of its neighbours: the Netherlands, Germany, France and Luxembourg. For most of its history, what is now Belgium was either a part of a larger territory, such as the Carolingian Empire, or divided into a number of smaller states, prominent among them being the Duchy of Brabant, the County of Flanders, the Prince-Bishopric of Liège and Luxembourg. Due to its strategic location and the many armies fighting on its soil, Belgium since the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) has often been called the "battlefield of Europe" or the "cockpit of Europe." It is also remarkable as a European nation which contains, and is divided by, a language boundary between Latin-derived French, and Germanic Dutch.
This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/History_of_Belgium
Belgian wine is produced in several parts of Belgium and production, although still modest at 1,400 hectoliters in 2004, has expanded in recent decades.
Belgian wine first appeared in the Middle Ages, around the 9th century. It is unlikely that wine was made in the area now known as Belgium before that, since the climate was not suitable and Gaul was covered with thick forests. However, there are mentions of Paris vineyards in the 4th century. From that time, vine cultivation spread northward and in the 8th century the banks of the Rhine were covered with vineyards. The first attempts at viniculture in Belgium were made around the same time. Moreover, the vineyards were already well established in Amay. The vineyard at Vivegnis, in the north of the province of Liège, was already considered old in the 9th century, as well as the vineyard at Huy, which belonged in part to the Bishop of Liège. The edges of the Meuse River were intensively cultivated because they offered well-exposed hillsides.

Q: Show all systemd services which are enabled, but not running How can I show all systemd services which are enabled, but not running?
AFAIK "not running" can happen in two cases:

*

*the service has crashed

*the serivce was stopped.

In my current case I it does not matter if the services has crashed or it was explicitly stopped.

A: I think you are looking for this command :
systemctl list-units [-all] [--state=xxx]

I think this two commands show what you want to see :
systemctl list-units -all --state=inactive
systemctl list-units -all --state=failed

For more detailed explanations, you can refer to this answer :
https://superuser.com/questions/896812/all-systemd-states
Have a nice day.

A: (I guess the o.p. has been doing what he wanted to do a long time ago, but for others searching for this)
MathieuR's answer pointed me in the right direction, but I found the best way (for me at least) to be
systemctl list-units -all | grep -Ev 'loaded  +active'

i.e. list all units except those with lines containing loaded followed by at least two spaces and then active.

A: I found the existing answers interesting, but somehow I'm not a machine and don't want to search hundred lines of output and make my eyes bleed.
Coming from Gentoo/open-rc, I was really missing the rc-status command on Centos 8.
So I've made a one-liner, you just have to add an alias to your ~/.bashrc.
for i in $(cd /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants && ls *.service); do script -q -c "systemctl status -n 0 --no-pager $i" |head -n 1; script -q -c "systemctl status -n 0 --no-pager $i" |grep --color=never "Active: "; done;

This show all enabled services and print their status on next line.
If you use a colored terminal, you will easily spot the inactive ones.

Open science: data from largest meta-analysis of antidepressants available
Authors of a major study in The Lancet have made their dataset freely available on Mendeley Data
By Naomi Lee, MD Seil Collins
March 6, 2018 2 mins
Network meta-analysis of eligible comparisons for efficacy of antidepressants. The width of the lines is proportional to the number of trials comparing every pair of treatments. The size of every circle is proportional to the number of randomly assigned participants (i.e., sample size). (Source: Andrea Cipriani et al, The Lancet)
A study comparing data on 21 commonly used antidepressants from 522 randomized controlled trials with more than 100,000 participants has found that all antidepressants are more effective than placebo for short-term treatment of acute depression in adults. The network meta-analysis, published in The Lancet, is the most comprehensive assessment of antidepressants to date and enables comparison of data for all commonly used antidepressants.
There has been considerable debate about the effectiveness of antidepressants as a group in both the media and scientific literature, and this trial therefore represents a significant contribution to the clinical evidence base. By enabling comparison of efficacy among medications and with placebo, this analysis provides the best vailable evidence to guide treatment decisions for clinicians and patients.
The authors, an international collaboration with contributors from seven countries, have made their datasets available online using Mendeley Data, a free, secure online repository for research data. The full dataset, the results of 6 years' work, comprises not just a comprehensive review of published studies but also large amount of unpublished data obtained by the authors through contacting study authors, regulatory agencies and pharmaceutical companies directly. By making the full dataset freely available, the authors are allowing others to replicate the analysis to further inform clinical practice.
One of the lead authors, Dr. Andrea Cipriani of the University of Oxford, told The Lancet:
As a group of authors, we strongly believe in open science. The data we have collected includes an unprecedented amount of previously unpublished data on antidepressants, which we sourced from pharmaceutical companies, original study authors, and regulatory agencies. By making the dataset available online, we encourage other researchers to replicate and improve on our work, in order to inform and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
The authors say further work is underway to look at individual-level data to better understand the effectiveness or acceptability of antidepressants in relation to age, sex, severity of symptoms, duration of illness and other individual-level characteristics.
The work of Dr. Cipriani's team highlights the complementary roles The Lancet and Mendeley Data play to support open science, reproducibility, and publishing the best evidence to inform clinical decision-making.

Q: SOSL use FIND with bind list of Strings - Specified search expression can not be converted to string I have a list of strings (phones) which I'm trying to use inside my SOSL Find clause and its giving me issues:
List<String> phonesList = new List<String>();
for(Account acc : acclist) {
        phonesList.add(acc.Phone);
}
System.debug(phonesList.size());
System.debug(phonesList[0]);

Until this point I can see the string, let's call it: 1112223333
When I try to use the phonesList[] inside a SOSL like this one:
List<List<SObject>> searchList = [FIND :phonesList IN PHONE FIELDS Returning Account(Id, Name)];

I'm getting the next error in Execute Anonymous:

Specified search expression can not be converted to string

The Anonymous error line refers to the SOSL line.
Thank you for your help.

A: The only way I can think of achieving this with SOSL is to pre-build the searchQuery as if it was using the OR operator.
You will need to do some cleansing before you start building the searchQuery, additional characters may need to be substituted depending on your data. If not complete, I expect you to receive an exception along the lines of System.QueryException: line x:xx mismatched character ....
List<String> phonesList = new List<String>();
for(Account acc : acclist) {
    phonesList.add(acc.Phone.replace('-', ' ').replace('+', ' '));
}

Now it's time to work through your phonesList and start building the searchQuery. You may wish to tidy this logic up with another loop variation. We are expecting a result like numberOne OR numberTwo OR numberXX.
String concatenatedNumbers = '';

for (Integer i=0; i<=phonesList.size()-1; i++) {
    if (i == phonesList.size() - 1) {
        concatenatedNumbers = concatenatedNumbers + ' OR ' + phonesList[i];
    } else if (String.isEmpty(concatenatedNumbers)) {
        concatenatedNumbers = phonesList[i];
    } else {
        concatenatedNumbers = concatenatedNumbers + ' OR ' + phonesList[i] + ' ';
    }

In the seven-plus years I've worked here, I never knew the original title of this publication was actually Magazine San Diego. The chamber of commerce had produced a promotional pamphlet called San Diego Magazine, and even though they discontinued it when World War II began, they didn't want to let go of the name.
Ours was the first independent city and regional magazine in the United States, and it was launched 70 years ago this month. Two boyhood friends each put up $1,000 to get it rolling. In October 1948, Mission Valley was farmland, Coronado had no bridge, and streetcars toddled down Broadway, where our present-day office is located. I'm extremely proud to be a part of this magazine, and of its history—so proud that I often find myself browsing through the vintage covers in our archives. You can take a tour through the decades and see some of that retro style, too.
This is also our annual Top Doctors issue. Every year, the San Diego County Medical Society recognizes peer-reviewed physicians. All 717 of them, in 88 specialties, are listed. We also interviewed five of these top docs to find out how they deal with delivering difficult diagnoses, how they stay strong for their patients, and what they do with all the emotion they bring home at the end of the day. I will warn you, I always read everything in the magazine multiple times, and these raw, candid stories yanked on my heartstrings. A few of them made me cry on every single read.
And now, with the serious stuff behind us, I'd like to look toward the future. We just launched San Diego Magazine Insiders, a membership program that's like a big psst to the smart people who sign up. You can read all about our perks at sdmag.com/insiders, but the biggies include two free members-only happy hours each month, front-of-the-line entry to all our events, and great deals curated by the editors and friends of the magazine. There will also be invitations to unique experiences, like dining with our food critic, Troy Johnson, and access to a private Facebook group where you can get recommendations from our staff.
Thank you for supporting us for 70 years—for reading our stories, attending our parties, listening to our podcast, subscribing to our newsletters and, hopefully, for becoming an Insider. See you on the inside—or inside the next issue!

Mid Century pattern design and the Sheila Bownas Archive
Images courtesy of Chelsea Cefai
By Jo-ann Fortune
In 2008, Arts Development Officer Chelsea Cefai came across the mid century pattern designs of artist Sheila Bownas at auction, and bought up the collection of more than 200 works. The vast body of work had in fact only been discovered the previous year, in an old drawer in a Yorkshire Dales studio after the death of artist Sheila Bownas. It was the quality of these designs that led Chelsea to devote her time to bringing Sheila Bownas' midcentury patterns back to life through limited edition reproductions and carefully considered collaborations.
Mid century pattern design: a lesser known name
Sheila Bownas grew up in Yorkshire, attending Skipton Art School from 1941 to 1946 and then gaining a county art scholarship to study at London's Slade School of Art, where she won several prizes. Although she gained early recognition for her paintings, with five of them accepted at The Royal Academy of Arts, Sheila was drawn to designing surface patterns for textiles and wallpapers as a more comfortable alternative to selling her paintings. Living in London during the late 1950s and 1960s, Sheila worked on numerous commissions for some of the most established wallpaper and textile manufacturers.
Unlike mid century pattern designers like Lucienne Day or Jacqueline Groag, Sheila Bownas isn't a household name. Chelsea explains that although Sheila Bownas' work was just as much a "signature of the time" as her contemporaries, it was perhaps due to her reserved nature that she remained unknown. "Although her designs were sold at high-street stores, they were not named. While Sheila Bownas was very much in tune with what was going on, she was a very private person."
Mid century pattern design: the Sheila Bownas archive
The 210 prints in Chelsea's collection include commissions for Marks and Spencer, Liberty of London and Crown Wallpaper. They have been meticulously catalogued by year and pattern, and now live in tissued archive boxes in Chelsea's home studio. So far just 22 of the colourful 1950s, 1960s and 1970s designs have made their way into the public domain, through carefully reproducing her designs as prints, cushion and upholstery fabric, and on furniture. Chelsea chooses which prints to release based on current interior design trends. "I take out a few at a time, I lay them side by side and I look at them for a few days, then I change them around. I want to create little families of prints that work together."
Mid century pattern design: collaboration with contemporary designers
To date, Chelsea Cefai and her husband, who helps out with the business side of things, have formed close working relationships with the Glasgow School of Art, who produce fabric by the metre, cushions, and pads for Bertoia chairs, and small independents like lighting designer Zoe Darlington and bespoke furniture maker Parlour. Chelsea explains, "People will also soon be able to buy linen fabrics in eight designs, courtesy of Classic Textiles, who work with iconic design archives including that of Lucienne Day."
Chelsea explains to us that she gives a lot of consideration to which designers and makers she collaborates with. "I try to imagine what Sheila was like, as I want to faithfully and sympathetically restore the collection in a way she would have approved of", says Chelsea, with the sincerity that underlines every aspect of this all-encompassing project. "I think about who she would have wanted to work with and I make sure that the collaborators understand what Sheila was about."
Mid century pattern design: a personal quest
It's clear that no element of this unique business ever comes close to being a chore for Chelsea and her family, for whom Sheila Bownas has become an integral part of life. "It's very much a family affair and a labour of love – my husband comes to meetings with me and my two girls, who are nine and eleven, love what I do so much that they ask if they can work for me when they're older. It's important to me that family and work knit together naturally."
Six original Sheila Bownas designs hang proudly on the walls in her own kitchen and Chelsea lists among her favourites Sheila Bownas' floral designs and a more abstract work she has named 'Gilbert', admitting that these often change based on the pieces she's working with at the time. "I fall in love with particular designs all over again". She adds, "Really what I want to do through this project is allow others to do the same."
And in this venture, we wish her all the best, which makes it very pleasing to see sheilabownas.com listed as one of the best new online interior shops by the Sunday Times magazine this month.

Q: Rails 3.1 ActionMailer Custom Template Path? Is it possible to customize the template path for Rails 3.1 ActionMailers? By default, Rails looks in:
/app/views/[mailer_class]

for the mailer view templates. However, I'd much rather organize them in:
/app/mailers/views/[mailer_class]

or at least:
/app/views/mailers/[mailer_class]

I know this was possible in 2.3 via ActionMailer's template_path config parameter, but that seems to be deprecated as of Rails 3. Is this kind of customization no longer possible?

A: This sort of customization is possible still.  There is a couple different ways to do this depending on how your mailers are written.
If you have the format blocks such as format.html you can pass render '/path/to/template'.
Or if you are just calling mail() there are two options for setting the path and template name, which you should just need to pass the path option:
mail(:template_path => 'mailers/[mailer_class]', :template_name => '[mailer_method]')

You should check out the Rails Guides for more detailed info.

Golf Sense
Practical Tips On How To Play Golf In The Zone
Roy Palmer, illustrated by Sophie Webber, FrontRunner Publications, 2010, pbk, 153pp
ISBN 978-0-956259-30-1, available from Amazon.
(First published in STATNews, January 2011)
Review by Martyn Jones
As a golf coach and Alexander teacher, I was asked to review Roy Palmer's new book Golf Sense. I have not met Roy personally and, when reading the Acknowledgements, found out Roy does not play golf. So I was intrigued to find out if this book could, in fact, help me find and consistently be in 'the Zone', the Holy Grail in golf, a place where one would like to be, but a place so difficult to find that many golfers never find it, and for the few that have experienced the phenomenon, so difficult to return to.
I have read many books on the mental side of golf. All have had a chapter on the Zone, all have similar ideas, but none goes into such detail as Golf Sense. I am looking forward to trying to find the Zone and playing in it, after reading the book. The book is nice to feel and easy to read, with simple illustrations which are easy to understand.
Alexander wrote, in The Use of The Self, a chapter on the golfer who cannot keep his eyes on the ball. He wrote: "Strange as it may seem, I have always found that a pupil who uses himself wrongly will continue to do so in all his activities". Golfers are, by nature of the game, severe end-gainers, as they are trying to get the ball in the hole.
Palmer starts by using a table of practical exercises which would be of great interest in a workshop on the Alexander Technique: the chair, head balance, semi-supine, spiralling, walking, and a number of ways to try to find 'neck free'. Getting into 'the Moment' is right on for 'neck free'. Where Palmer slips up is in mentioning the dreaded 'monkey' word, a horror in the golf world. Golfers do not like to 'do the monkey'. In the world of golf there is the 'set up', the position a golfer adopts when preparing to hit the ball. In our world it is 'the monkey'. Golfers are taught to do the movement, and when they can do the movement, they practise it over and over again to create a habit and put it in their memory banks, using what they call 'feel'. They try 'to feel' the swing.
Tom is an imaginary golfer working through the book: his thoughts in the last chapter are a non-stop check-out of instructions, making the mind totally confused. This is the opposite of what is trying to be achieved, i.e. of being in the Zone, a place of being able to maintain a relaxed concentration on what you are doing.
I asked a non-golfer to read the book and give me feedback: she said it was interesting, but it kept going over things in the same way. The book seems to make trying to do nothing very complicated, as we teachers all do, sometimes, when saying too much in an Alexander lesson. Moreover, there is a tendency to refer to pages yet to come and pages which have passed, which interrupts the thread of the reading.
Also, at the end of the book, under Useful Resources, there is a reference to audio instructions and videos which are available from Roy's website, but they had not been set up when I accessed the site. To use technology to your advantage, you must be sure it works.
What will be the reaction and understanding of the golfer when taking this book off the shelf? In my mind, they may find it complex and confusing. There are a number of practical exercises, including Playing in the Zone, Body Basics, Seven Experiments -all very complex to the golfer, who is, by nature of the game, an end-gainer.
Who would benefit from this book? I think it, and the work which went into it, is of great interest to all of the Alexander Technique community. It is a detailed study of Inhibition, and one I have not seen before in our world. We should all have a copy on our bookshelf, next to Alexander's books.
As for me, I can get into the Moment, and find the book very helpful for that, but the Zone is still a very occasional companion.

Praise for the Carlin Environment Clips
RUSH: Nina in Dallas, nice to have you, Nina. The last Nina was sort of off the charts. I hope you're better.
CALLER: Well, it's Nina, it's not Nina, I'm Nina. Okay, it's been a pleasure waiting on you, and I want to talk about George Carlin. And my son and I think that — well, whatever it was, what was it, was it a skit?
RUSH: Well, it was from one of his comedy acts, there were three sound bites here from one of his — I think it was probably from an HBO special that he did, might have been a stage show, but it doesn't matter. It was actually George Carlin on stage in performance.
CALLER: Yeah. Well, we think that you probably need to put that on every day.
RUSH: Really? Why, I'm not good enough?
CALLER: No. You need liberals to hear that crap. You know? They need to hear it.
RUSH: This isn't crap.
CALLER: I know, I know that.
RUSH: Oh, you think because Carlin's a liberal, that other liberals, if they hear Carlin, they might be more inclined to be persuaded than if they heard it from me?
CALLER: That's right.
RUSH: Well, I see. I get it. That means I should be a liberal for half the show.
CALLER: Oh, no, no, you're fine the way you are. But I was going to tell you that Tyler Cox up in Dallas and I, a bunch of people came up to see you, I don't remember what year, but we really enjoyed it —
RUSH: You came up to see the TV show?
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: So that would have been '93 or '94.
CALLER: Probably '94.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: That was the year that the Republicans took over the House of Representatives.
RUSH: Well, that's exactly what it was, 1994, they were crowned and began their reign on January of 1995.
CALLER: I ran up and down the hall, every time they'd come on, you know, some Republican beat a Democrat, you know, and I'd run down the hall to tell my son, which he's in bed with a stroke, and I'd run back, listen to the radio and all that stuff. And it was just wonderful. I just loved every second and then they just messed around and went back to liberal.
RUSH: Yeah, they got a little arrogant. They stopped teaching conservatism. They thought the whole country had gone conservative, and so they thought they'd stop teaching it. Fatal error. Let's listen to the George Carlin bites that she's talking about. We played them earlier in the week. As you know, he died, heart attack, heart failure, age 71. We have three. I think is it three sound bites? George Carlin on the environment. Here's number one.
CARLIN: Let me tell you about endangered species, all right? Saving endangered species is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature. It's arrogant meddling. It's what got us in trouble in the first place. Doesn't anybody understand that? Interfering with nature. Over 90%, over, way over 90% of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, ever lived, are gone. They're extinct. We didn't kill them all. They just disappeared. That's what nature does. We're so self-important, so self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails. And the greatest arrogance of all, save the planet. What?
RUSH: Exactly right. This next riff could have come right from behind this microphone.
CARLIN: I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is there aren't enough bicycle paths, people trying to make the world safe for their Volvos. There is nothing wrong with the planet, nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are (bleep) — difference, difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. It's been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? Planet has been here four and a half billion years. We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years.
RUSH: George Carlin on the environment. And another riff that could have come right from this program.
CARLIN: Two hundred years versus four and a half billion, and we have the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat, that somehow we're going to put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that's just a-floating around the sun? The planet has been through a lot worse than us, been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages, and we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. We are. We're going away.
