Softing DTS.monaco is an extensive offboard diagnostic tool for the engineering sector which covers the entire range of application cases from ECU testing through to vehicle release. It is easily integrated into the test sequences and corporate processes, not least because of its flexible interfaces which can be configured to suit the relevant test step.
Softing DTS.monaco is the flagship of the Diagnostic Tool Set, the expert tool for professional diagnostics that has grown over the decades. It is based on the Softing Diagnostic Base System and thus benefits from crossmanufacturer experience in offboard diagnostics throughout the entire vehicle life cycle. New solutions are continuously being integrated into the stable and scalable tool base for the latest E/E architectures and security mechanisms.
The name MONACO – Modular Analyzer for Vehicle Communication – already clearly indicates one advantage of the application: modularity. Thanks to the di vision of the interfaces into fixed and flexibly configurable parts, it is possible to arrange working steps required for the tes ti ng process logically and efficiently. What are referred to as layouts in the Monaco workspace help the user to sort the topics. In turn, the specially developed diagnostic control elements can be placed within these freely configurable interfaces.The delivery scope also includes a few examples of widelyused application cases (OBD, WWHOBD, J193973), thus considerably facilitating getting started with Softing DTS.monaco.
Monaco Controls are available for typical application cases. Users without indepth knowledge can take advantage of these intuitively. The diagnostic commands and communication parameter behind those controls are preconfigured by experts at diagnostic service or diagnostic job level. Furthermore, diagnostic sequences can be directly incorporated in OTX (ISO 13209) and started. These are created using Softing OTX.studio.
Fundamental analysis of diagnostic and on-board communication at bus level in hexadecimal notation.
Data verification and communication test with full access to functions and sequences of the database for experts.
Analysis of diagnostic communication at the application level in symbolic notation.
One-off or cyclical execution of list control for diagnostic services in service or parameter notation.
Execution of complex diagnostic or test sequences in compliance with ISO 13209 (OTX).
Visualizing tests with pictures, text or link to RTF/PDF/CHM files.
Automated setup and tear-down of communication to ECUs.
Monitoring and influencing the communication state of ECUs.
Activation / deactivation of a switch, each starts a sequence of services (e.g. change ECU state).
Recording/saving ECU variables (list, instruments or oscilloscope) and modifying them (actuator).
Reading out and clearing the ECU error memory.
Reading out the identification information of individual ECUs or an entire vehicle.
Programming of individual or multiple memory areas of ECUs.
Validation and release of OBD self-diagnosis and the different modes for K-line and CAN protocols.
Running sequences of services, jobs or sequences using buttons.
Fast determination of vehicle status as regards ECU identification and error memory.
Powerful expert tool for coding individual ECUs.
* Configuration must be adapted to relevant ODX authoring guideline!
Softing DTS.monaco is used in numerous engineering departments all over the world to take care of diagnostic tasks. The range of ODX and expert application cases extends through ECU release to the commissioning of HiL systems and test benches. The tool is also regularly used for updating and validating vehicles during onroad tests.
Regardless of the integration level of software and ECUs, communication problems along the OSI communication layers result in specific challenges for diagnostic experts. These problems are critical for the remaining life cycle of the vehicle because, for example, in manufacturing, this behavior can lead to delays in or an entire absence of vehicle programming. The debugging of this kind of defective communication behavior thus necessitates an interface which both sends out services and jobs individually or cyclically to the test system and interprets information from offboard communication in detail and records onboard messages. The complexity of this kind of analysis is growing increasingly in the latest E/E architectures and their security measures against undesired external tampering attempts. Softing DTS.monaco is always up to date here and reliably supports corresponding protocols and mechanisms. This is supported in particular by the control units "Diagnostic Service", "Symbolic Trace", "Bus Trace" as well as the "Logical Link List" with reliable information on the status of the connection and the representation of the relevant services and bus communication. The DoIP monitor integrated in the new DTS generation 9 is particularly helpful in this respect!
During the life cycle of an ECU/vehicle, various diagnostic services and functions specified by the OEM or legislator have to be supported. Softing DTS.monaco can be used for a first step in this partly approval-relevant validation. With the "Diagnostic Service" control (see figure above), it is possible to test the relevantservices and responses for their correct implementation in detail in the diagnostic database (ODX 2.0.1 or ODX 2.2). The tool also offers a special control unit with underlying ISO-compatible database for OBD validation. Here it is possible to reliably test the different modes and functional command groups of the OBD specification. No expert knowledge is necessary for this as the procedure is determined by the user interface. This simplification means that a result can be quickly and efficiently determined with the HiL system or vehicle.
The identification of a test unit as well as the reading out of the error memory are activities which are repeated throughout the product life cycle. Regardless of whether HiL, test bench or vehicle – the versions as well as any error memory entries which might occur must be acquired and documented in every test sequence. The most important aspect here is a simple and intuitive operation as well as reliable documentation (in part with a direct central link to IT systems). This kind of identification and error report can be generated and stored by Softing DTS.monaco. An XML file format for reports is expedient here. This is supported in particular by the control units "ECU Identification", "DTC" and "Tool Quicktest".
The visually meaningful representation of measurement parameters and their thresholds is necessary particularly at the test bench and in vehicle validation. Softing DTS.monaco helps visualize various states regardless of whether a NOx sensor has to fulfill its values within a certain time or if it has to be indicated that pressure or temperature has reached a threshold value. Corresponding services and parameters can be configured for this in a data server and reused. Naturally interaction with actuators is also possible. To ensure this is all documented, Softing DTS.monaco contains a recorder which records and can reproduce data reliably.
ECU and vehicle updating is an important application area for Softing DTS.monaco, as an accompanying measure in the engineering process to validate various software versions, but also to prepare the automated flash procedure for manufacturing and after-sales service. The compatibility to all kinds of methods and file formats is just as important here as simple and reliable operation. A process usually consists of several substeps as well as an initialization routine – now often additionally safeguarded with the Seed & Key procedure. Naturally, with its "flash" control element and numerous configuration possibilities, Softing DTS.monaco offers sufficient flexibility to be able to support complex procedures. In other words: ODX-D + Flash Job (with reference in ODX-F), External Flash Files (HEX, MOT, BIN, S3 and S19), Flash Sequences, Security Access, Latebound Flash Files, Flash Files > 4GB ("64-bit Flashing"), among others, are supported.
Softing DTS.monaco All-in-one engineering tester DTS8 Monaco for diagnostic and control functions of vehicle ECUs which covers vehicle diagnostics in entirety in the areas engineering, testing and the preparation of tests and can be flexibly adapted to suit all kinds of tasks and user groups. With basic function scope (HMI controls of the communication library) incl. OTX runtime environment. There are limitations to the configuration of HMI controls when released by the creator of the workspace. Based on the Diagnostic Base System.

Sample Workspace Extensive Monaco sample workspace as introduction to the main functions based on the sample database in the delivery scope.


Every successful multi-year software project that I've ever seen has had some sort of documentation.
Whether it's a user manual, deployment guide, sample usage code, wiki, a run book for operations, release notes, javadoc, usage documentation for a REST API, or something else, there's always some sort of documentation somewhere.
My views on documentation for software projects are roughly in line with the agile manifesto, which states "[we value] working software over comprehensive documentation". This seems to be a very popular point of view in the agile community, if only because many developers would rather not write documentation in the first place. In general, with documentation (as with code), less is more.
Unfortunately, "less" usually doesn't mean "none". The truth is that other developers, operations teams, and architects almost always need at least some documentation. This is especially true for a consultancy like Equal Experts, because people will need this information when we're gone.
And all forms of documentation have the same key weakness: they need to be maintained and kept up to date. Documentation that isn't actively maintained is often worse than no documentation at all — many agile developers have had to recite the phrase "documentation lies" so often that it becomes a mantra.
In order to be successful, your project needs documentation, and you don't want to end up accidentally lying to your users, so this documentation will need to be kept accurate and up to date over time. How do you do this without a painful manual review1 stage as part of every release? This is especially important when you practice continuous delivery: reviewing documentation for each release when you release several times a day adds so much overhead that it's basically impossible.
If your project has javadoc, make javadoc generation part of your CI build, so that referencing a parameter that doesn't exist in javadoc causes your build to fail.
Does your documentation have examples or sample code? Execute them as part of your build, and (automatically) check that each one still works, and still emits the expected results.
Automatically generate as much of your documentation as possible. For example, generate REST API documentation from source code annotations.
Use libraries and patterns (Such as our own opslogger library) that make it easier to automatically generate documentation.
This tactic can help with heavy handed technical change management requirements as well. Need a detailed change request with every release to keep corporate operations happy? Automatically generate it from your git logs and issue management system. I was once on a team where we built a system that automatically compiled the list of JIRA issues that had been fixed since the last deployment. It was really simple (just a text file with JIRA issues and CI build numbers checked into git, really), but it made our operations team happy, and once we had it running it took us almost no effort at all to maintain.
In general, quality assurance for documentation (and make no mistake, that's what documentation maintenance is) is just like all other forms of agile quality assurance: automate as much of it as you possibly can. You'll find that the upfront investment in automation pays for itself, and then some.

Sir Austen Chamberlain and Charles Gates Dawes received their Nobel Prize one year later, in 1926.
Prize share: 1/2
For Reconciliation between Germany and France
Austen Chamberlain shared the Peace Prize for 1925 with the American Charles Dawes. They received it in 1926, together with the Laureates for that year, the Frenchman Aristide Briand and the German Gustav Stresemann. The four Prizes were awarded for work aimed at ensuring peace between the arch-rivals Germany and France.
Austen Chamberlain grew up in a family of well-known British politicians. His father, Joseph, was a member of several Governments and an eager "empire builder". His half-brother, Neville, was Prime Minister when Hitler started World War II in 1939.
Austen Chamberlain studied in France and Germany before entering politics in the Conservative Party. He joined the Government in World War I, and took part in the peace negotiations at Versailles in 1919. Chamberlain became Foreign Secretary in 1924, and gave Britain's support when the German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann initiated negotiations in the Swiss town of Locarno aimed at Franco-German reconciliation.

End of the world prophecies on or about 2012-DEC-21
Some specific predictions of (mostly)
destructive events sometime in 2012.
None of them actually happened.
Predictions of the world's end sometime in 2012:
2012: Patrik Geryl predicted a pole reversal. This is not the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles where the North Magnetic Pole relocates to the South Magnetic Pole. This has happened many times in the past. Geryl is predicting that the North Pole and South Pole will reverse and cause the Earth to start rotating in the opposite direction. He does not explain from where the required energy will come. The Earth functions as a gigantic gyroscope. The energy required to rotate the poles would be immense. There aren't any levers or forces in the solar system that could produce such a transition. 1
2012: Michael Drosnin, author of "The Bible Code," found a hidden message in the Pentateuch (the first five books in the Bible). It predicted that a comet will crash into the earth in 2012 and annihilate all life. As a minimum, I suspect that at least one species would have survived: cockroaches. They seem immune to all environmental disasters. If evolution is true, then we need not worry too much. As long as some species of life survives, one or more intelligent species will eventually evolve. They will probably have opposable thumbs, large brains, two ears and eyes. But they probably would not look much like present-day humans.
2012: Kev Peacock predictd that the Sun's magnetic field will reverse, and induce a reversal of the Earth's magnetic field. This would have caused massive geothermal and tectonic catastrophes. Something may happen to the mythical island of Atlantis which many people believe disappeared beneath the waves many thousands of years ago. Presumably, it will surface.
2012: Vijay Kumar predicted that World War III was most likely to happen around 2012, and that this would have been followed by a permanent state of spiritual elevation. "Beyond 2012 it shall only be harmony and peace all over." It will be called "the golden period." However the transition would result in the deaths of millions of people -- both innocent and those guilty of crimes. Bhagwan Kalki, a spiritual master of the highest order, was predicted to deliver humanity from today's ills. 2
2012-DEC-09: John Kinyanjui predicted that within 1335 days after that date will: "... bring global earthquake and tsunamis. That interval concluded about mid January in 2013 without any major disturbance. Kinyanjui believed that when the destruction occured, any time after the new moon, then the Serpent would take credit and misguide many into error. The devil knows scripture and believes prophecy. In the years when the 1260 years began their countdown, he believes that the Devil created his own countdown now known to us as the Mayan prophecies. The Lord will be testing us if we know and love the Lord God. The Lord will find the hearts of men deluded and misplaced. In jealous rage, God will cause a terrible destruction against all who are therein deceived." 6
Apparently, although God the Father and Jesus continually promoted forgiveness by humans toward other humans, this behavior does not extend to God.
Predictions of the world's end specifically on 2012-DEC-21:
Planet X: This was the name given by astronomer Percival Lowell to a planet that he believed existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. Although his calculations were off, and the discovery of Pluto accounted for his observations, some have suggested that a new Planet X -- "... an unseen object at least as large as Jupiter and possibly a brown dwarf" 3 -- might be disturbing the orbits of long period comets. Others have speculated that this may be evidence for a brown dwarf star existing as part of a binary system with our sun. (Most of the stars in our galaxy are binaries.) They suggest that interaction between our sun and the brown dwarf may be increasing the temperature of the sun, generating global warming on Earth, and will cause an increase in the severity of the next peak in the 11 year sunspot cycle in the year 2011-2012. These influences may destroy the Earth's magnetic field, and induce what Emmanuel Velikovsky called a ELE: an Extinction Level Event. 4
Terence McKenna: He is webmaster of "The Final Illusion" web site. He predicts that on 2012 at "the moment of the [winter] solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase." The results of this "ultranovel event" are difficult to predict, but may include "Hyperspatial Breakthrough, Planetesimal Impact, Alien Contact, Historical Metamorphosis, Metamorphosis of Natural Law, Solar Explosion, Quasar Ignition at the Galactic Core." Some of these don't sound too healthy for life on earth. 5 I am personally hoping for the latter, because it would take about 50 millennia for any effects of that ignition to impact earth -- long past my life expectancy.
Email: A visitor to our web site predicts that three days after the solstice, on DEC-24, one third of the Oort cloud will rain down on the earth. The Oort cloud is a massive collection of comets that encircle the solar system beyond the ex-planet of Pluto. Devastation would be total. It is unclear why such a large part of the Oort cloud would suddenly implode and zero in on the Earth's location.
Email: Another visitor suggests that a new cosmic cycle will begin after midnight on DEC-24. The sun will collide with another sun made of antimatter producing a "humungous nuclear explosion" which will turn every living entity -- from humans to microorganisms on Earth to ashes or dust. The 4th dimension will be "thrust upon Earth right after midnight." You might want to make certain that your insurance policies are paid up to date!
Email: Ric Steiner wrote: "On December 21st, 2012, the ZODIAC will be in perfect alignment for the first time in some 24,000 years. Those who worship Lucifer and Satan are already anticipating that he will manifest bodily on Planet Earth on or near that day. Even the top guns of those huge radio and television pulpits now have their sticks in the pot. 'Maybe,' they say, 'it just might be coincidental with the Second Coming.' So, in toying with it, they keep it on the back burner or even place it on the top shelf."
Email: The "Moksha with Kalki" team sent us an Email saying that Kalki has returned as his second incarnation to prepare 144,000 descendents of the original Hindus of ancient India. The latter came with him on his first incarnation. Those of this select group who wish to attain Moksha (release from the endless suffering of being trapped in endless reincarnations) are referred to www.MokshaWithKalki.org website for further instructions. Unfortunately, about 99.998% of the world's population -- those who aren't included in this small group -- were predicted to be exterminated on 2012-DEC-12 when the world is destroyed.
Webmaster's comment:
Needless to say, like all previous predictions of the end of the world, none of these ocurred. As I am writing this near the end of 2020-JAN, the world is still functioning.

City Stock Blog – Dear Prudence – Urban Farm Onlinerabbit, putting rabbit to sleep, arthritis in pets, audrey pavia, city stock blogDeciding to put a pet I've cared for and loved for years is one of the most difficult decisions a pet owner must make.
Prudence, when she was young and before severe arthritis took away her quality of life.
Yesterday, I had to do one of the hardest things I've ever done; I had to say goodbye to my sweet bunny, Prudence.
At the age of 10, severe arthritis had rendered her nearly unable to walk. For the past month, she'd spent most of her days huddled in her bed, only leaving to get a drink of water and nibble on some hay. She was so uncomfortable, she didn't even want to use the litter box, so she soiled herself. Despite my daily washings, urine scalds appeared on her legs, making her pain worse.
I tried everything to make her better: I bought yoga mats to give her more traction on the floor of her pen. I cut down the litter boxes so she wouldn't have to jump to get in them. I had her examined by a vet, X-rayed and put on painkillers. I ordered a special joint supplement that I'd heard could perform miracles.
But no matter what I did, her symptoms seemed to worsen. When she finally stopped eating the "miracle" joint supplement only two days after I started giving it to her, leaving me no choice but to force-feed it to her, I had to stop and think. What was her quality of life? Was she enjoying being alive? Her existence had become one of pain and fear. She hated it when I washed her bottom and when I forced medicine into her mouth. And now I'd have to hold her down and pour the joint supplement into her, against her will?
morning, I found her sitting in her urine-soaked bed. I took her out and put her on the floor. She pivoted around in circles, unable or unwilling, to walk. That's when I decided it was time to let her go.
Prudence was a precious little creature with an amazing gentleness about her. She had a sweetness that was almost hard to comprehend. She was so innocent and tender. She seemed almost too pure for this earth. Could such goodness even exist on this deeply flawed planet?
For all these reasons and more, it was so hard to say goodbye. I have never been good at making The Decision when it comes to an ailing pet, but no matter how hard it was this time, I had to find the courage so Prudence wouldn't suffer anymore. She could no longer be a bunny. She couldn't hop, jump or groom herself. She couldn't play with her toys. Her spirit needed to be set free, and she needed me to have the guts to do that for her.
Today as I cleaned up the pen she had shared with my other bunny, Smokey, I truly felt her loss. I kept seeing her out of the corner of my eye, but of course she wasn't really there.
I am not alone in my grief. I'm also sharing it with Smokey, who just lost his best friend. Somehow we both have to find a way to go on without the love of our sweet, dear Prudence.

Q: How to make gridlines visible when cell background is black in Excel? I am using Microsoft Excel 2016. My objective is to have dark mode in Excel to make Excel more friendly to my eyes.
I changed the default cell background colour from white to black. I changed the default cell text from black to white. However, one problem that happened is that the gridlines have disappeared. I know I can change gridlines colour in File > Excel > Options. However, this changes the gridlines in all the worksheets in the Excel file. I only want to change gridline colour in a specific worksheet. Can this be done?

A: Just make the the borders white

Select All Cells and click On borders button and select line color white, or the lightest shade of grey you can find which is near to white (some versions of Excel may not allow borders which are true white). Hope this helps.

Hyperdata are data objects linked to other data objects in other places, as hypertext indicates text linked to other text in other places. Hyperdata enables formation of a web of data, evolving from the "data on the Web" that is not inter-related (or at least, not linked).

In the same way that hypertext usually refers to the World Wide Web but is a broader term, hyperdata usually refers to the Semantic Web, but may also be applied more broadly to other data-linking technologies such as microformats – including XHTML Friends Network.

A hypertext link indicates that a link exists between two documents or "information resources". Hyperdata links go beyond simply such a connection, and express semantics about the kind of connection being made. For instance, in a document about Hillary Clinton, a hypertext link might be made from the word senator to a document about the United States Senate. In contrast, a hyperdata link from the same word to the same document might also state that senator was one of Hillary Clinton's roles, titles, or positions (depending on the ontology being used to define this link).

Semantic Web
The Semantic Web introduces the controversial concept of links to non-data resources. In the Semantic Web, links are not limited to "information resources" or documents, such as the typical Web page. Hyperdata links may refer to a physical structure (e.g., "the Eiffel Tower"), a place ("Champ de Mars" where the Eiffel Tower stands), a person (Gustave Eiffel, the man responsible for the tower's construction), or other "non-information resources".  It is worth noting that the links in this article are hypertext, not hyperdata, and they all lead to documents which describe the entities named.

A hyperdata browser (also called a Semantic Web browser), is a browser used to navigate the Semantic Web. Semantic Web architecture does not necessarily involve the HTML document format, which typical HTML Web browsers rely upon. A hyperdata browser specifically requests RDF data from Web servers, often through content negotiation or conneg, starting from the same URL as the traditional Web browser; the Web server may immediately return the requested RDF, or it may deliver a redirection to a new URI where the RDF may actually be found, or the RDF may be embedded in the same HTML document which would be returned to a Web browser which did not request RDF. The RDF data will generally describe the resource represented by the originally requested URI. The hyperdata browser then renders the information received as an HTML page that contains hyperlinks for users to navigate to indicated resources.

I know that by writing this, I am inviting political attack. ... But demagoguery is the last refuge of the spineless politician willing to do anything to win the next election.
Failing to raise the debt limit could trigger a whole bunch of problems--the Treasury would eventually run out of money and have to figure out which bills to not pay--whether it's grandma's social secruity benefits or interest on the debt. But as Rubio notes, President Obama himself voted against raising the debt ceiling when he was a senator in 2006. Why? Because he was sure it would pass without him. Then-White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told ABC's Jake Tapper in January that "based on the outcome of that  vote... the full faith and credit was not in doubt." Obama only wanted "to make a point about needing to get serious about fiscal discipline….His vote was not necessarily needed on that." So is Rubio's op-ed a similar bit of empty symbolism? Maybe not, given the strength of the Tea Party crowd.
Tending to the Base Rubio's stand "should ingratiate him with the Tea Party crowd," National Journal's Sean Sullivan writes. Rubio rode that activist wave to defeat the eastablishment pick, then-Gov. Charlie Crist, in the GOP Senate primary in 2010.
Those Against Raising Have a Point "We're told that if Congress doesn't increase the debt ceiling it will be imperiling the full faith and credit of the United States," National Review's Mark Steyn muses. " But, if Congress simply approves in a routine vote an increase in the ceiling, the implications are just as profound: We'd be telling the world that we're simply unserious when it comes to spending. If you're planning on running trillion-dollar-plus deficits in perpetuity, you have no intention of paying it back, and eventually the rest of the planet starts to operate on that assumption."
Predictable But Dangerous, Rep. Peter Welch, a Vermont Democrat, writes for Roll Call. Playing "political football with the occasionally necessary vote to raise the nation's debt ceiling is as predictable as a Twitter rant from Charlie Sheen.The predictability of this debate should not, however, detract from its seriousness. Holding the nation's full faith and credit hostage for political gain could imperil a fragile economic recovery and sow the seeds of a global economic meltdown."
Tricky Calculation, George Will explained in January on ABC's This Week. Though the vote is "purely symbolic," Will says, "The trouble is it's suicidal if you should happen to miscalculate and have all kinds of people voting against it as a symbolic vote and turn out to be a majority. Because if the United States defaults on its sovereign debt, the markets will be--well, it will be stimulating."

3 Must-See Holiday Festivals
The birth of Christ in Bethlehem is among the most celebrated moments in world history. Editor Emeritus Janine Pumilia gives us a history lesson on the holiday's history and evolution, reminding us of the true reason for the season.
In his 1847 oil painting "The Romans of the Decadence," French artist Thomas Couture depicts his vision of drunken, morally corrupted revelers at a pagan festival like the December Saturnalia in the Roman Empire.
The Christmas season is a steady heartbeat in our lives, predictable and lavish with rituals that tie us to ancestors recent and ancient. Like a giant sparkly snowball, it's been rolling around the globe for nearly 17 centuries, following pathways blazed by Christianity, picking up shiny bits of time periods and cultures along the way. Some of those bits are pagan and pre-date Christ by many centuries.
It's easy to celebrate Christmas without knowing it began as a Roman Catholic Holy Day, the Feast of the Nativity, by edict of the Roman Empire in the 4th century. If we search for the most constant core element of Christmas, we find it in the story of Jesus Christ's birth as recorded in scripture. When we wish people "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays," we're really wishing them "Merry Christ's Mass" and "Happy Holy Days," whether or not we realize it. The customs associated with Christmas, however, are another matter.
Today we hang greenery and light candles and give gifts in mid-winter, just like our great-great grandparents did and just like ancient pagans celebrating winter solstice did. Our greens may be plastic, our candles may require two AA batteries and our gifts may be purchased online, but we're following ancient customs just the same.
Where did we get them? From our European ancestors. Where did they get them? From the Roman Empire, which stretched across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North Africa at the time Christ was born.
We mimic medieval recipes and trot out imagery and carols from the Victorian 1800s, with lyrics that make little sense to us – what's figgy pudding? How does an angel "hark?"
We love 1940s Christmas films and we string LED lights invented in the 1980s and we hunt down the hottest toys of 2020. Christmas is the ultimate mash-up of time periods.
Christmas Conflict
The Dec. 25 holiday set by Roman leaders some 350 years after Christ's ascension has always stirred conflict. Through the centuries, people have accused Christmas of being too pagan, too Catholic, too subversive, too commercial and too bawdy. Governments have banned it, including our own Plymouth Colony. But Christmas has persisted.
Christians and pagans celebrated Dec. 25 for different reasons in the 4th century and winter solstice festivals were popular centuries before Christ was born. The solstice marks the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Greenery was hung, candles were lit, wreaths were fashioned from evergreens, and feasting, drinking, dancing and gift-giving took place.
"The hanging of mistletoe and holly was a reminder that spring would come again, that the darkest day of the year was passing and light would return to the world," explains Cait Dallas, curator and exhibit developer at Old World Wisconsin, in Eagle Wis., a living history museum operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. "The roots for a winter holiday were pre-Christian. The common theme among them was placating the deities. You wanted the gods on your side so that next year's crops would come in well."
Many upper-class Romans celebrated a nativity festival for Mithra, a pagan god of light birthed from a rock in ancient Iran. Soldiers brought Mithraism to Europe from the Middle East and it became the primary rival to Christianity in the Roman Empire.
Some Romans associated Mithra with Deus Sol Invictus, "the unconquered sun," and celebrated the god Saturn during the winter solstice, while Christians celebrated a different Unconquered Son.
Early Christians were still being persecuted by the Roman Empire in 274 AD when Emperor Aurelian declared Sol Invictus to be an official religion. By 313, however, Emperor Constantine issued the Edict of Milan, which ended Christian persecution. Just 10 years later, he made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire.
The transition to monotheistic (one God) Christianity didn't happen overnight, however. Many Romans continued to celebrate pagan gods.
Why Christian leaders in the Roman Empire declared Dec. 25 as the date of Christ's birth is still debated, since it's not mentioned in scripture. Some scholars believe it was a political tool to help merge Christian and pagan cultures peacefully. They note that shepherds and sheep would not have been in fields in December. Others point to concepts in Judaism that link a prophet's date of death to the date of his or her conception. Christian antiquity held that Jesus died March 25, so was conceived on March 25 (the "Annunciation") and Dec. 25 followed nine months later, they reason.
Christmas declined along with the Roman Empire but made a big comeback when Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne (also called Karl or Charles the Great) as emperor, at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, on Christmas Day 800 AD.
Charlemange, whose ancestry we'd call French today, sought to unite all people of Western Europe and convert them to Christianity. Those who refused him were killed by his armies.
Charlemagne protected Roman Catholic tradition, including Christmas. Power struggles among his warring grandsons gave rise to independent countries of Europe we know today, all of which formed their own Christmas customs and legends.
By the 11th century, two branches of Christianity existed: Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, the latter having rejected the pope's authority in 1054.
In 1534 England, after the Roman Catholic Church refused to annul King Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, Henry established the Church of England and put himself in charge of it. He wasn't the only one rejecting Catholic authority in the 1500s. After failed attempts to reform the Catholic church, various protesters – Protestants – split from the pope, proclaiming that scripture, not church tradition, was their ultimate authority. Among these Reformation leaders were Martin Luther in Germany, Frenchman John Calvin in Switzerland and John Knox in Scotland. In 1604, England's King James VI commissioned the King James Bible, which drew heavily from the work of Reformation leaders. Bible scholars still reference it because words added to the Greek text by translators are italicized in it.
English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries worked to "purify" (hence "Puritan") the Church of England by ending what they viewed as its corruptions rooted in Catholicism. Some believed Christmas was among those corruptions, and it was banned for decades in England and Scotland.
Christmas returned to English tradition in 1660 under Charles II but its reputation was tarnished. The very concept of "holy days" offended Puritans, since only the Sabbath was named holy in scripture. "They for whom all days are holy can have no holiday" they said. They nicknamed Christmas "Foolstide" and rejected both Church of England and Roman Catholic authority.
Expanding literacy and the newly invented printing press made it possible for Christians to read the Bible firsthand rather than relying solely upon religious officials to guide them.
English Puritans were persecuted for holding views apart from the Church of England and many relocated to less restrictive Holland for this reason, including 18-year-old William Bradford. An avid Bible student since youth, Bradford and like-minded Puritans lived together for 11 years in Holland before setting sail in September 1620 from Plymouth, England. They were bound for the New World on a crowded merchant ship called Mayflower.
Pilgrims departing Plymouth, England, bound for the New World 400 years ago. They hoped to leave Christmas behind them, along with other "bad habits." Painting by British artist Bernard Gribble.
Mayflower carried not only Puritans, but also people loyal to the Church of England; not all Pilgrims shared the same beliefs.
Once they landed on Cape Cod in 1620, the 102 Pilgrims formed Plymouth Bay Colony in today's Massachusetts. Nearly half of them died during the first winter. By fall of 1621, Bradford orgnized a celebration of the colony's first crop harvest, inviting the Native American Indians who'd helped the colony to survive. This gathering would later inspire our Thanksgiving holiday.
As a Puritan Separatist, Bradford hoped to prevent Christmas and other "bad habits" from taking root in the New World. He believed Christmas lacked a scriptural basis, was too heavily influenced by paganism and had devolved into an excuse for drinking and lewd behavior. And, like all Puritans, he rejected the basic concept of holy days.
In his journal, later published as "Of Plymouth Plantation," Bradford recalls how he found non-Puritan citizens "in a state of joyous bedlam" playing a rowdy cricket-like game in the streets of Plymouth mid-day on Dec. 25, as had been their custom in England. He told them that if they wanted to spend Christmas praying quietly at home, that was OK, but there should be no revelry in the streets while Puritans put in a regular day of work.
It was an early example of New World religious intolerance. The Puritans who risked their lives in search of religious freedom weren't keen on granting that same freedom to others. This fact was not lost on our founding fathers who would, some 150 years later, guarantee the right of all Americans to practice their beliefs free from government interference.
From 1659 to 1681, Plymouth Colony outlawed Christmas altogether, fining violators. Christmas couldn't be stopped, however. As more Europeans arrived, they brought their Christmas traditions with them. Americans still bicker about Christmas. This is nothing new.
Frontier Christmas
Christmas persisted in the early settler years but was by no means the blow-out fixture it is today.
"Christmas didn't really ramp up until after the 1830s in the U.S.," says Dallas. "We start to see advertisements in newspapers for toys and other Christmas-related items in the 1840s and '50s. Even in the earliest days of the frontier, people could get newspapers and magazines from nearby towns and these carried news from the East."
Diaries, letters, cookbooks and literature provide clues about frontier Christmas customs in our region.
A visit to friends or relatives, sharing special foods and singing carols were Christmas staples some people enjoyed. Some hung fresh greenery, lit special candles and enjoyed dancing, singing and other homespun fun typical of all festive gatherings.
Then, as now, "Christmas isn't the most important holy day in the Catholic church," notes Dallas. The pre-eminent Catholic holy day is Easter, a celebration of Christ's resurrection. Unlike Christmas, the timing of the resurrection is undisputed since it coincided with the Jewish Passover in scripture.
"If we step back and look at it, how you celebrated Christmas on the frontier really depended on your resources and situation," says Dallas. "Some people had spending money, others not. It made a big difference. There was a lot of poverty on the frontier. And no matter what, the litany of regular chores still needed to be done on Dec. 25 – milking the cows, feeding the animals, cleaning the clothes and so on."
Some pioneer families had a year-round habit of gathering in the evening to read aloud from the Bible. At Christmastime they read about the birth of Jesus.
A church was often the first community building erected in a settlement, doubling as a general meeting house. Worship services held in homes or churches were important then as now.
"Some frontier communities had traveling priests or ministers who served a large geographic area," says Dallas.
Our region mostly was settled by "yankeees" from New England and New York, largely Protestant. Waves of European immigrants soon followed, most entering Chicago by railroad or the Erie Canal, then moving west by rail or animal power. Some Scandinavians landed in Rockford simply because it was the western end point of the rail line when they arrived.
"Church services were held in native tongues – Swedish, German, Italian, Greek Orthodox – just as we see services in Spanish today," says Caitlin Treece, educator at Midway Village Museum in Rockford. Gift-giving was a modest affair on western frontiers.
"Gifts were often handmade," says Treece. "Dolls made from fabric scraps, maybe a quilt someone had worked on all year long, hand-made socks, sweaters, wooden toys, maybe something you ordered from a Sears and Roebuck catalog at the General Store. A child might receive a treat like a cookie or candy cane or a piece of fresh fruit."
This 1848 engraving of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, with their nine children gathered around a decorated Christmas tree, helped to transform the image of Christmas from a drinking holiday to a family-friendly season.
Why is so much of our Christmas imagery influenced by Victorian Europe? Because a Christmas makeover was among the projects guided by British Queen Victoria during her long reign from 1837 to 1901. America was forming its own Christmas tradition then and followed the queen's lead.
"Yankees who could afford it were traveling to Europe and back, seeing new Christmas customs and liking them, such as decorated Christmas trees," says Dallas. "They brought these concepts home with them."
Christmas trees, candy canes and advent calendars, already popular in Germany, became popular in Great Britain after German Prince Albert married Victoria in 1840. The couple reshaped the holiday in other ways, too.
"For a long time, Christmas was really more of a drinking holiday in England," explains Treece. "Albert and Victoria had nine children. They set an example for a much more family-friendly, child-centric Christmas."
A now-famous 1848 engraving of the royal family gathered near a Christmas tree influenced Brits at a time they were already re-examining the holiday's meaning.
Another Christmas game-changer was the wildly popular 1843 Charles Dickens novella, "A Christmas Carol."
The transformation of Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge from a greedy miser to a man capable of compassion for the needy struck a chord with the British and U.S. public. Christmas evolved to reflect not only self-indulgence, but also love and generosity to one's community.
"Dickens set the image for what a real British Christmas with the trimmings looks like and this influenced the American Christmas," says Treece. "It became a time to give and share of what you have."
In the U.S., the yearning for a home-and-hearth family Christmas deepened as the nation faced its bloodiest chapter. Yankees and Confederates alike coped with homesickness, separation and devastating loss in the early 1860s.
"Christmas customs from Europe took root here more slowly because the Civil War was smack dab in the middle of the Victorian Era," says Treece.
As we face a Christmas diminished by a pandemic, we can remember Americans who have faced very difficult Christmases before us. This 1863 engraving for "Harper's Weekly" Magazine, by Thomas Nast, conveys the heartache of separation and loss at war time. American nostalgia for a family Christmas ramped up during the Civil War and has grown ever since. Not until five years after that war did Christmas become a federal holiday.
Both Illinois and Wisconsin contributed large numbers of troops to the Union Army and homefront folk worked hard to keep farms going and supplies flowing to soldiers.
"During this time, mailed Christmas cards grew very popular," says Treece. "Christmas was described as 'the saddest day on the battlefield.' Soldiers tried to do little things to keep up traditions – maybe saved a letter from home to read on Christmas Day or sang carols or attended a church service – something to remind them of a normal Christmas."
In 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant made Christmas a federal holiday in hopes of uniting Americans around something both sides cherished.
"By then, Rockford was a pretty big city with a lot of stores," says Treece. "There were many options for shopping here. If you had the money, you could buy most anything."
Christmas became a bigger event with each passing decade, propelled by retailers and marketers as the middle class grew and could afford to buy gifts, by now widely produced by factories. A uniquely American version of Christmas folklore solidified. It starred Santa Claus ("santa" means "saint"), a figure we took from the Old World, refitted with a better personality, and exported around the globe.
Santa's Evolution
As Dickens did for England, our own creative class helped to shape the U.S. Christmas we know today. American Santa Claus got his start in an 1822 poem written by Clement C. Moore for his children, titled "A Visit From St. Nicholas," also called "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."
"…He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread…"
Skinny Santas and green-suited Santas and elf-like Santa figures populated Europe for many centuries under various names, probably informed by ancient deities like Rome's Saturn or the Norse Odin, who appeared as magical, white-bearded old men, says Dallas.
As Christianity grew, these figures were conflated with a real-life defender of the Christian faith, a Roman Catholic bishop named Nicholas. He lived during the 3rd and 4th centuries in the Mediterranean Sea town of Myra, Lycia (now southwest Turkey) and had a legendary reputation for generosity. He remains a patron saint of children and sailors in today's Roman Catholic church.
Moore described America's Santa as a plump, white-bearded old man in a red suit who travels the night skies by reindeer-pulled sleigh. The poem's line, "Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread" is important, because some countries had Santa and anti-Santa figures who were indeed dreadful.
"These myths have a dark and scary side in some places," Dallas says. "For example, the Krampus figure takes a 'be good, or else' tone toward children."
Krampus is a menacing, horned, half-goat, half-demon mythical creature known to people in the Alpine region of Austria. He may drag naughty children to Hell or eat them for lunch.
Our kindly Santa became a Yankee hero during the Civil War when cartoonist Thomas Nast illustrated him in 1863 handing out gifts to Union soldiers. Nast updated Santa for an 1881 cover of "Harper's Weekly" magazine, using Moore's poem as a guide. That image hasn't changed much in the 140 years since, although Coca-Cola tweaked it the 1920s.
"Most Santa figures around the world are kindly males with magical powers," says Dallas. "They fly through the sky and reward children with free treats if they behave well. Italy's Befana is an exception, a kindly old woman riding a broomstick."
Children in the Netherlands anticipate Sinterklaas, who rides a white horse named Amerigo.
In Iceland, childrens' shoes placed on windowsills are filled with goodies by Juletide Lads.
German-American illustrator Thomas Nast drew this Santa in 1881, taking his cue from Clement C. Moore's 1822 poem, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." Moore and Nast solidified the image of American Santa Claus.
Before Victoria showed him the error of his ways, England's "Father Christmas" was known as a red-robed party animal more concerned with adult revelry than children.
Central European nations like Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and Croatia celebrate Christkindl, a blonde, sprite-like child with wings, an image Reformation leader Martin Luther encouraged.
Hungarian and Polish folklore includes Mikulas, whose evil assistant, Krampusz, leaves behind raw potato pieces or a wooden spoon for naughty children.
Children in Norway know of Joulupukki and the Yule Goat.
Russians and Ukrainians celebrate Ded Moroz, or "Old Man Frost," who carries a magic staff and gifts children on New Year's Eve, bringing his granddaughter, Snegurochka, with him.
"We also see elf-like characters, like the Julenisses," Dallas says.
Nisses are Scandinavian pixies (think garden gnome) who help with a family's household and farm chores. They evolved into Christmas gift bearers in about 1840 and became "Julenisses."
In the end, Christmas is what we bring to it. The spiritual reflection, social and family traditions, commercialism and generous impulses of Christmas play out each year as familiar fixtures in our lives and world. In this pandemic year, Christmas will be different, but it will still be Christmas.
"During the Civil War, people yearned for peace, family and hearthside," says Dallas. "Our ideas about Christmas evolved a lot during that time of great stress. People today also are feeling nostalgic as they face separation from loved ones."
All we want for Christmas is normalcy, but we're getting a lump of coal instead.
This, too, shall pass.
Christians can find comfort in the unchanging core story of Christmas. Perhaps a less hectic holiday will allow more time for reflection on the key concept of love taught to us by Christ.
Christians believe the Son of God came into the world through humble circumstances, showed us what love can be, forgave our human failings and ultimately triumphed over evil and death. This is the steady heartbeat of Christmas, no matter the state of the world.
Merry Christ's Mass and Happy Holy Days!

De Bernardinuskapel is een kapel in Heerlen in de Nederlandse provincie Limburg. De kapel ligt aan de Akerstraat en behoort tot het Bernardinuscollege.

De kapel is gewijd aan Bernardinus van Siena.

Geschiedenis
In 1912 werd er een klooster van de Franciscanen en RK Hogere Burgerschool gebouwd.

In 1931 werd de kapel gebouwd als kloosterkerk voor de Franciscanen naar het ontwerp van architect Jos Wielders en was een uitbreiding van het klooster.

Opbouw
Het georiënteerde bakstenen kerkgebouw is opgetrokken in een zakelijk expressionistische stijl en heeft in de hoofdzaak een rechthoekig plattegrond. De kapel wordt gedekt door een zadeldak en in de kapel buigen de pilaren vanaf de grond af aan naar binnen en vormen een spitsboog. Het schip heeft vijf traveeën en het apsis heeft een lagere noklijn. De kerktoren met naaldspits is aan de noordzijde in de frontgevel geplaatst. Aan de toren is een gevelbeeld van Sint Franciscus geplaatst, gemaakt door pater Renald Rats OFM.

Aan de noordzijde van de kapel ligt er een kloostergang die de kapel verbindt met het klooster. Aan weerszijden van de apsis zijn de sacristie en bijsacristie gebouwd. De kapel heeft een crypte onder de apsis, waarin zich ongeveer 20 graven bevinden die uit de periode 1934-1981 stammen.

Op 20 juli 1999 werd de kapel ingeschreven in het rijksmonumentenregister.

Kerkgebouw in Heerlen


I am the one who brought them back.
I am Raggart I am telling you this.
In cold light forever unbearable.
No more as the lost breath crumbles.
The kender small-boned as a hawk.
To the throat of the only castle.
As the tunnels melted red.
Bright steam freezing behind them.
That covers the ice as the sun bleeds whiteness.
Who suckled on murder in the lairs of ancestors.
As the wolves stalked in their master's eye.
In the reel of the hunt perfected.
Sent him seeking the warm lands.
All stood frozen except for Laurana.
And the wolves fell silent as the head collapsed.
The rest is short in telling.
Followed further followed to treasure.
(They let me hold it I brought them back).
The kender last small pockets bulging.


My heart-felt intention is to develop my clients' potential and help them to experience greater confidence and contentment. I am always looking for ways to facilitate learning whether it means stimulating new ways of thinking or simply creating the container for my clients to find their own best practices.
I've been through a number of injuries in my life and successfully used yoga asana, meditation, pranayama and yogic philosophy to heal my body and ease my suffering.
My broken ankle was the most impactful of my life. I had two surgeries, received 6 screws and a plate and couldn't walk for over 4 months.
On a personal level, it was humbling to be unable to do basic tasks and movements that I had been able to do all my life. Ultimately, as I regained capability, I gained greater confidence in my ability to persevere. I feel a sense of empowerment knowing that I can heal through my own actions informed by ancient wisdom and the research of modern-day specialists.
On a professional level, these challenging injuries have been extremely informative to my work. New ways to do the poses, new ideas about what yoga really is all about and greater empathy and compassion for myself and my students all emerged. My goal is to guide and assist my clients in their own empowerment and their capability to heal themselves.
I spent most of my life being overweight and through my journey of self-understanding and self-care I am now experiencing living in at my ideal weight. I am inspired to share my process with those looking for support and community.
Since I was a child, I had been overweight and struggled with my self-esteem. I used food and occasionally drugs to cope with the stress of life. In my early twenties, I remember going to my doctor and being told that I was technically obese. I was shocked and scared. After that, I started to become aware of the true potential of my yoga practice to elevate my physical and mental health.
As my spiritual practice grew my self-care practices also flourished. As I got more committed to my yoga and meditation practices, I was gaining greater awareness of my body and mind. I started to develop a healthier relationship with myself, greater awareness and better decision making around my eating habits and movement practices. My body began to grow fitter.
The yoga therapy components of my yoga and meditation instruction are based on the IAYT, not derived from my status as an RYT® with Yoga Alliance Registry.

Q: Rails upgrade from 2.3 to 3.2 javascript rendering as text Recently I am upgrading one of the rails app from 2.3 version to 3.2 version. And I am noticing a strange behavior in the javascript written in the html.erb files. This never happened before with other apps I have upgraded.
I am upgrading to
Ruby 1.9.3
Rails 3.2.14
Currently jquery version is 1.4 and I would upgrade it 1.9 or 1.10 once the application is fully ported.
Here is the problem. Whenever we have some JS written in templates and this JS has greater then condition at some point then any JS code written after that is rendered as text on the page without any JS errors in firebug. I have attached the screen-shot please have a look.
And when I remove that JS code into a .js file then this problem disappears. I think is something has to ERB template parsing as the same code working fine in the rails 2.3 application.

In the screen shot the JS code rendered something like
" 0) jQuery("#li_" + caab_jurisdiction_name).show();..."

it starts wth something like this
"if (jQuery("#mortgage_product_group_econveyance_editions").attr("value").indexOf(caab_jurisdiction_value) >  0) jQuery("#li_" + caab_jurisdiction_name).show();..."

A: Rails 3.0+ has XSS protection by default, whereas in Rails 2.3 you need to use the helper h in order of use it.
To avoid it, you can use String#html_safe or the helper raw.
You can read more about it in this railscasts http://railscasts.com/episodes/204-xss-protection-in-rails-3.

It is worth knowing about the best wine dispensers if you are a true wine lover. You know that each bottle you open is precious!
Once you open a bottle of wine, you have around 3-5 days to enjoy it, depending on its quality. After that, the wine starts going bad and taking on an unpleasant vinegar taste. Whether you're a casual drinker or a true wino, you certainly want to avoid this.
Moreover, you want to find a convenient way of pouring your precious wine without spilling it. The best way to achieve both is to look for the best wine dispensers money can buy.
But with so many options out there, how do you know which one is right for you?
Well, we're here to help you. We've selected some of the best wine dispensers currently available, so take a look at our top picks.
If you're looking for an inexpensive wine dispenser and aerator, Aervana has a great option for you. The MV6-1 wine dispenser will preserve the rich taste of your wine and dispense it in one touch.
It infuses air into the bottle while dispensing, which provides the wine with the oxygen necessary for preservation. It works perfectly with red wines as well as with some whites such as Bordeaux and Burgundy.
If you're a fan of Malbec or Pinot Noir, bear in mind that you might not achieve the best aeration. Of course, you still get to enjoy the convenience of dispensing them without the hassle. You can also avoid getting any wine sediment in your glass because this is the only wine dispenser specifically designed to keep sediment out.
One reason we love this is wine dispenser is the one-touch electric mechanism packed in a stylish body. Not only does it make pouring wine easy, but will look great on your table.
Click here if you want to learn more about Aervana's solution.
Boxxle has made one of the best box wine dispensers you can find right now. If you're into boxed wines, this appliance can be a perfect addition to your kitchen.
It can hold up to 3 liters of wine, and keep it fresh for up to six weeks from the moment you open it. It's great for anyone who doesn't serve wine only at parties but wants to enjoy it by the glass any day of the week.
Thanks to its unique technology that applies pressure from below, the dispenser ensures that you don't waste a single drop of your favorite wine. Pouring wine is quick and easy due to the dispenser's design, so you can enjoy a fresh glass of wine in no time.
Even if boxed wine isn't your thing, you can still use this appliance. You do have to buy a separate kit though. If you do, you'll be able to pour any bottle into the dispenser, so that you don't have to sacrifice quality for convenience.
Click here if you want to see more details on the Boxxle wine dispenser.
If you're looking for an all-in-one appliance that will let you get the most out of each bottle of wine, this can be a great solution.
You can store 13 bottles of wine, preserve their taste, and keep them cool and fresh for a long time. When you need a glass, all you have to do is press a button and a predetermined amount of wine will be poured.
The device uses argon gas cartridges to preserve your wine. It works for both red and white wine, so you can enjoy the rich taste of all of your favorite bottles. Your wine will be kept cool within a temperature range of 45-64 °F – you can always see the temperature on the LCD screen.
The cooling system is also very quiet and keeps vibration to a minimum, so you practically won't notice it's there. And if you're into various types of wine that come in different bottle shapes and sizes, the height adjuster will make sure you can preserve and dispense all of them.
Of course, all these features come at a price. If you choose this appliance, you'll have to splurge a bit. If money is no issue, this can be the right solution for you.
First off, this is more suitable for commercial use than for the home. But if you can afford it, and love wine, this would be pretty amazing to have in your kitchen or bar area.
The Wine Station is by far the best wine dispenser on our list. You can preserve four open bottles for up to 60 days. The argon gas preservation system and thermo-electric cooling system create an ideal environment for wine even after opening.
The system pumps wine out of the CleanPour heads directly from the bottle. The wine only passes from the bottle to the head. The system is easy to clean and doesn't require any flushing.
There are digital controls for each wine. You can display the name and vintage of each bottle in the system. You can also lock the system so only you can activate the wine dispenser.
The electronic controls allow you to dispense a measured amount of wine each time. You can set it to whatever amount you prefer to drink. If you are serving wine by the glass in a restaurant, you can control the amount your bartender pours.
For home use, this wine dispenser fits comfortably on the countertop or you can have it build into your cabinetry for a finished look.
Many wine enthusiasts don't enjoy the drink just for its taste. If you're among those who want to experience the full rustic vibe that surrounds fine wines, oak barrel dispensers can be a perfect solution.
Oak barrels are ideal for storing wines since they have the enzymes and trace elements that preserve their taste. You can pour up to 5l of wine into this one, ensuring that the wine will only taste better with time.
Of course, this dispenser is about more than just convenience and taste preservation. Its unique design will add a touch of refinement to your home and can become one of the most eye-catching appliances you own. It comes with a wood stand that enhances the rustic design and is just great for home use and events alike.
Another great thing about this dispenser is its versatility. Aside from wine, you can pour pretty much any other drink in it and serve them all with ease. All of this comes at a price that's more than fair, so it's worth considering this interesting product.
As you can see, there's a wine dispenser for pretty much everyone. Wine dispensers come in all kinds of styles and have a variety of features, so you can find the design and functions that serve your needs the best. Many options are also quite affordable, but you can always go for a top-notch dispenser if you're willing to spend more.
While browsing through the best wine dispensers, the most important things to consider are your budget, intended use, and the types of wine you enjoy the most. Once you can answer all of these questions, you'll be one step closer to finding the device that will keep your wines fresh and provide the convenience you need.

Courteney Cox: Craven Would Be Proud Of New 'Scream'
Let the screaming begin! And not just from the horror fans in the theaters–but apparently also from the cast and crew of the next Scream movie.
Both Courteney Cox, one of the original stars of the storied franchise, and creator/writer Kevin Williamson have been raising their voices in praise and anticipation of the new Scream, according to comicbook.com. And they seem sure that Wes Craven–the legendary director of the first four films in the series–would feel the same way.
Scream wrapped production just a couple of weeks ago–as reported here in Horror News Network–and Cox recently took to Instagram to express her feelings about the fifth installment in the series and also to offer an insight into how she remembers her former director.
"Scream just wrapped," Cox wrote. "This all started 25 years ago, directed by the beloved Wes Craven. Walking back on the set 25 years later, I wasn't sure what to expect. What I found was an incredible new cast and two uber-talented directors. I'm sure Wes will be so proud. Thank you Kevin Williamson for creating this legacy."
And speaking of Williamson–the writer of the original Scream film and executive producer of the current installment–he echoed Cox's sentiments during a recent virtual reunion event. Williamson said he was "blown away" by the new directors–Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett–but admitted he was nervous at the start "because nobody is Wes Craven. I was really hesitant to jump on board and be a part of it (but) I am glad I did because I think it's going to make Wes proud."
Craven, who passed away in 2015, helmed the first four Scream entries, with Cox, Neve Campbell and David Arquette in starring roles. The new film from Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures–written by James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider–Man) and Guy Busick (Castle Rock)–deals with a woman "returning to her hometown to try to find out who has been committing a series of vicious crimes."
The new Scream–due out in theaters Jan. 14, 2022–will follow in the wake of the first four movies in the franchise that has piled up more than $600 million at the box office worldwide.
Keep reading Horror News Network for all future updates on the new Scream.

The party may not be over for Julia Salinger. Neve Campbell confirmed she'd appear on the Party Of Five reboot during a Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen appearance on Tuesday, July 17. After starring as the sensitive Salinger teen on the '90s Fox family drama from 1994-2000, the actress said she's totally on board to get the party restarted after learning about the new angle of Freeform's upcoming revival.
"From what I understand … they're doing it with a Mexican family whose parents have been sent across the border, and they have to figure out how to stay together and be a family and raise each other. I think that's really poignant and important, so I'm really impressed. And if they want me to come and support somehow and do a scene in it, I probably would."
Cambell noted that she'd even already spoken to Party of Five co-creator Chris Keyser, who will also write the pilot for the series' re-imagination, along with fellow original creator Amy Lippman. While she and her onscreen Salinger siblings — including Scott Wolf, Matthew Fox, and Lacey Chabert — were orphaned after their parents were killed in a car accident, the new immigration-themed premise may not be as different from the original as it may seem, according to Campbell in the interview.
While promoting her new action film Skyscraper on July 7, she explained to Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frazier: "In the same way that our family lost their parents and had to find a way to survive, it's going to look at that story, which a lot of people are dealing with so I think it's really prevalent."
Before Deadline first broke the news back in January that Freeform was reviving the beloved series, which won the 1996 Golden Globe for Best Television Series — Drama, Campbell and onscreen big bro Wolf shot down the possibility of rebooting the show with the original cast.
Of course Freeform's new series won't be the first attempt at extending Party of Five's heartwarming TV magic. In 1999, Jennifer Love Hewitt who played Sarah Reeves on four or the show's six seasons, starred alongside Jennifer Garner in Fox's spinoff Time of Your Life. However, that show was cancelled after just one season and 19 episodes.
Hopefully Freeform's attempt will strike more of a chord with audiences though. And if producers take up Campbell on her interest in making a cameo, fans of the original are sure to tune in for a dose of '90s nostalgia.
