Stephanie Moreno
Editor in Chief, Distiller
As spirits buyer of one of the most regarded spirits shops in Manhattan, ergo the country, Stephanie was afforded an opportunity most only dream of: to be paid to taste alcohol. Tasting products from bottom shelf vodka to 50 year-old single malt Scotch, she has tasted it all. There are, however, those spirits that speak a bit louder to her and they are often of the brown persuasion. Her love for Scotch in particular was etched permanently on her heart while visiting and touring distilleries throughout Scotland. These are the spirits that truly drive her to drink.

John Rankin
Wine & Spirits Expert
John's affair with spirits started long before his 21st birthday while he was a stockist in the alcohol liberal state of West Virginia. Although he wasn't legally allowed to taste the bottles, the variety of labels, styles, and levels of quality greatly intrigued him. Shortly after moving to New York, he landed at a premier wine store that was in need of a spirits specialist. Looking through the field of distillates with the lens of an oenophile, he quickly became attracted to booze that showed a sense of place and tradition. Scotch whisky, rum, and tequila all have this in spades, but for value and terroir France's brandy regions take the cake. He does his best to promote cognac, armagnac, and calvados as fantastic alternatives to more trendy brown spirits.

Being from The Netherlands, he feels a particular sense of pride when it comes to genever, but really anything that has seen the inside of a still is of interest. However, whisky will forever remain his first love. A trip to Scotland turned his already existing love of Scotch into an obsession, and he since hops on an airplane to cross the narrow North Sea every chance he gets, visiting distilleries and conducting interviews for Dutch and international publications.

Philippines' national dress, the Barong Tagalog enjoys a distinction all its own. Its fine needle or hand-painted designs in cool cotton or handwoven piña or jusi have given it a flair that has won international recognition and acceptance.
President Ferdinand E. Marcos, who wore the Barong Tagalog with such impeccable grace and searing devotion, underscored its prestige when he issued in 1975 a decree proclaiming Barong Tagalog Week (June 5-11) and more significantly, officially designating the Barong Tagalog as "the national attire". The presidential act was meant to focus nationwide attention on the Filipino national dress to promote its wider use and enhance its export potential.
As it is, both the wide use and export potential of the Barong Tagalog have been explored, its full impact just a matter of time. What deserves another look is the manner the Filipino national costume has evolved and grown, picking up and shedding features fashion-related or otherwise, it its journey from pre-Hispanic native wear to national dress.
But first, a few things have to be straightened out. Barong Tagalog is properly referred to as the Baro ng Tagalog (dress of Tagalog) and it cannot be contracted to simply Barong, one realizes, means "dress of". If one wishes to shorten the phrase, then it would be Baro or "dress". Yes, the Barong Tagalog is a dress, a garment, a coat in itself. It is not a "shirt". If it were, then it would need a coat or jacket over it to qualify as formal wear and would have to be worn tucked inside the trousers.
The earliest known fact on the Baro ng Tagalog discloses that the native of Ma-i (the Philippines as it was called before the Spaniards re-discovered the archipelago), and in particular, the Tagalogs, who lived in the island of Luzon, wore baro. The Tagalog males wore a sleeve-doublet of rough cotton cloth called canga, reaching slightly below the waist, collarless and with the opening in front.
Depending on their social rank and badge of courage, the doublet was either red, black, blue or white (red for the chiefs and brave men, black or white for the ordinary citizens). Their loins were covered with a sort of colored pagne called bahague which hung between the legs to mid-thigh. The Tagalog women also wore a sleeve-dress of the same color as the men's although their clothing was shorter than the men's. too they wore a cotton pagne attached to the waist and reaching to the feet but a colored belt accented the grace and suppleness of their figures.
Other historical sources describe the personal attire of the Tagalog men, presumably those of the upper crust, as made of fine linen or Indian muslin which barely reached the waist. It was a short loose jacket (chamarreta) without collar and fitted with short sleeves. For breeches or pants, they wore "a richly colored cloth, which was generally edged with gold, about the waist and brought up between the legs, so that the legs were decently covered to the middle of the thigh from there down; feet and legs were bare. Called saluales, they were also worn loose and wide and made of linen. These were not open in front, but fastened on one side.
A Franciscan friar, Fray San Francisco de San Antonio in his Cronicas added that the men's baro was "loose to the wind, with wide sleeves and without cuffs." For church functions and other official ceremonies, the chiefs and others wore a black woven smock reaching to their feet with sleeves fitted to the wrists over said clothes. They called this barong mahaba or long baro, a very modest and proper dress also worn loose.
A little after the eighteenth century, the baro, as shortened and the Elizabethan collar was replaced by a short one, sans lace. The loose trousers were likewise changed. They became tight and adorned with big military stripes which were then in vogue. These loose trousers, however, made a comeback in 1750, this time, trimmed with laces or embroidered at the edges, a fashion that lasted till the first quarter of the 19th century. Moreover, it had not buttons and to fasten it around the waist, there were three openings, one in front and two at each side, with silk strings. During this period, the handkerchief, usually of colored silk and inspired by the European cravat, was introduced to go with the attire. By the 1840s the trousers that the Indios wore together with the baro assumed the shape and fit of real honest-to-goodness pants as they are known today. The men wore plain, long-sleeved loose shirt made of handwoven cotton, silk, sinamay, jusi and lupis.
Interviews with some authorities on Philippine costume or fashion history yield the popular belief that the baro is not tucked in because it simply looks better it is tucked out. Aesthetically speaking, the baro with its loose style, handwoven embroidery and sheer fabric is for display, for exhibition. How in the world would the baro attain full radiance, so to speak, it if hides beneath pants and belts?
Anyhow, the tradition of wearing the Barong Tagalog tucked out has been with us for centuries and Filipinos are not exactly anxious or even bothered about the rationale of such fashion style.
In coat form, though of much cruder fabric and done less expertly, the coat-style baro was worn by the teniente del barrio or gobernadorcillo. Originally termed pinukpok, (perhaps because it was made of beaten abaca fibers called pinukpok), this coat-styled baro was long-sleeved.

Singer-songwriter John Prine in critical condition after contracting coronavirus
Date: March 30, 2020Author: godalone40 0 Comments
Singer-songwriter John Prine has contracted the coronavirus. According to a message posted by the Prine family on his official Twitter account, the 73-year-old is in condition is critical.
"After a sudden onset of Covid-19 symptoms, John was hospitalized on Thursday (3/26)," explains the message. "He was intubated Saturday evening, and continues to receive care, but his situation is critical. This is hard news for us to share. But so many of you have loved and supported John over the years, we wanted to let you know, and give you the chance to send on more of that love and support now. And know that we love you, and John loves you."
Prine began his recording career with his self-titled 1971 debut and over the years has won four Grammy awards. His fans include Bob Dylan who in a 2009 interview with the Huffington Post said "Prine's stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mind trips to the ninth degree."

1. Full Moon in Leo with Sun in Aquarius: this will be at 0.34am.
2. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: The Sun, Earth and Moon will be aligned happily. The Earth's shadow will be on the Moon creating a Lunar Eclipse which will be visible from Europe, most of Asia, Africa & most of North America. It will begin at 10.34pm on February 10, peak at 0.43am & end at 2.53am on February 11. The Moon will gradually turn dark as the Earth's shadow passes over the Moon and the Sun shines it ray on the Earth, causing the shadow on the Moon. Earth in the middle with Sun and Moon on either side. With the Penumbral Lunar Eclipse we see the Earth's shadow is on the Moon – how auspicious. This is very grounding and powerful. A very grounding experience. When you see your shadow do you ignore it or do you greet it? Do you play with it or do you talk get angry with it? Are you afraid to look at your shadow?
3. Comet 45P / Honda-Mrkos-Pajdusakova: a few hours after the Eclipse, Comet 45P makes its closest approach to Earth. It is known as the New Year Comet. It will be 7.4 million miles away. It will be visible in the sky in the constellation Hercules. Binoculars or a telescope could be helpful. Watch for a bright blue-green "head" with a tail. It will be visible in various points of the night sky until the end of February. It will next be in our skies in 2022. We will be working with the colour GREEN and HERCULES Energy. Along with the lunar eclipse, Comet 45P will make its closest approach to Earth this weekend. The comet makes its way back to the inner solar system roughly every 5 years, and has a bright bluish-green 'head'.
What is so nice is we also have the Jewish celebration of the birth and planting of trees for tithing purposes: Happy Tu B'Shevat. The Comet 45P oozes a green colour and we have the planting of trees – Mother Earth united in Oneness with the Universe and Cosmology. I love it. And man planting new trees. How lovely. And of course, Josei Toda's Birthday, 1990-1958 (Buddhism).

The Number 3: Looking back as we entered February we see the first three days of February come in with 3 powerful energies from around the world. On first February we had Vasant Panchami, which begins the Hindu Spring season. On second February we celebrate Setsebun Sai, day before Spring in the Shinto religion. On third February we had Imbolc / Lughnassad, Southern Hemisphere (Wigan/Pagan).
What arrangements are you making in threes? This month seems to like threes. Organise things with 3 people, with 3 tasks for each project, etc.
As we build up to the run to the Full Moon Eclipse, are you experiencing dramatic feelings and feeling unclear and lost? Great you are entering the Eclipse energy coming with this Full Moon. Do you suddenly feel you need healing and need to see someone for help or do something different to help you get 'better', centred and back to yourself? Welcome to this energy of no relaxation and no deep breathes because your fears do not fly away they just seem to visit and stay. There is a feeling of needing to change and not so sure what to do and who to trust. There is also a feeling of grabbing things to do that will 'fix' us. What have you 'grabbed'? A networking event, a new dress, a new friend, an old habit that seems to leave you in a circle? Full Moon Eclipse with Comet does not prepare you for your life at this time. It forces you with sudden change and sudden activities that almost hinder your 'progress' or your life. AND YET, you are not sure as you question, as you journey through the LABYRNTH OF YOUR MIND, the real possibilities for you and your happiness.
This really is a time to be CONSCIOUS and AWAKE though you many not feel awake or conscious. A true contradiction. So you make an agreement and it all seems fine and then someone comes in with a different point of view and wants to shift the goal post. Do you agree or stick to your guns? Do you get clear about what you agreed and what you want or do you get manipulated, by the energy? The challenge is to see your weakness – maybe show it – but then find your volcano in you – your fire of passion and focus – your volcano voice that speaks with clarity and power and rumbles gently your decision and your spoken words are heard effectively and strongly. You begin to stop feeling pain as you realise that your determination to suddenly feel nothing and then get a clear decision surprises even you! I love the Divine intervention of all this synchronicity happening in your life. Events just happen and they have not discernible causal connection yet they begin to have meaning in your life.
2017 is definitely a different year for us all. So many changes – we have no idea what is coming this year. The Leo Full Moon is a golden Full Moon with many portal gateways and openings and closings. Are you ready for your change? Are you ready for your transformation? Are you ready for your shift? Are you ready to be carried by the flow of the Energy of Now or are you going to resist? So what do you notice you are ending or closing the door on? What will you be opening to? With an ending always comes a beginning. What surprises have you had leading up to the Eclipse? What surprises during and after? A time to nice surprises and shocks as we move into the energy of the eclipse. How will you cope?
I love the numerology of 11 and the date 11 February for the Eclipse. I am finding that even if you do not like were you are, you have to face were you are. You have to do the journey and go through the TUNNEL OF YOUR MIND. I am looking forward to hearing your experiences. Please share them. What ACTIONS and RESULTS are you manifesting with this Full Moon? What is showing up for you really in your life. Really go through the bumpy ride and make sure you have your seat belt on. Safe Journey. Time to really see your truth and your life.
Walk around and look around you and say – I Am That Everywhere you look is God / Divine. Say: I AM That – that is.
Thank three people you know personally – not your family or blood. For example, I was guided just before the Full Moon Eclipse and Comet to give three people at my doctor's surgery who have looked after me for a few years. I went to Marks and Spencer and bought three different types flowers for each person. When I handed them the flowers they could not believe that I had chosen exactly what they would like. I took pictures of their smiling faces holding the flowers. You will each picture being used under an Invocation Blessing. I felt so happy when I was walking home – like I was floating.
Write down a list of all the shadows in your life: all the fears that eclipse your feelings of being joyful; all the people, events and feelings that get you down or make you feel you're not loved or protected or happy enough.
Stand outside under the moon at the start of the eclipse (22.34) and light the paper making sure you burn all of it.
Take the ashes and smear them on your third eye as a reminder to yourself that you have let these all go.
Write down a list of all the things you are grateful for in your life.
Write down a list of all the the things that have manifested in your life over the past 2 weeks.
'I invoke thankfulness (pause & really feel it in your heart), appreciation (pause & really feel it in your heart) and gratitude (pause and think back to everything on your lists above and feel the gratitude in your heart).
Write down what you were doing 5 years ago when this particular comet last visited us. And what significant events, 'good' and 'bad' have happened in your life since then.
'I am grateful for all that has happened to me, good and bad, as both have brought me to this moment in my life right now.' And close your eyes and really see and feel how the so called bad things made you make changes that have brought you to new places inside your self and in your world.
Then place this and your full moon lists in a special envelope, seal it and write on it: 'Only To Be Opened in Feb 2022' and give it to someone you know will keep it safe for you till then.

Main Global Media Punxsutawney Phil says winter is over!
For the past 133 years, Punxsutawney's famous, weather-forecasting groundhog, Phil, has been fetched from his burrow mid-winter February 2 by members of the Inner Circle and raised overhead his thousands of worldwide followers who rely upon his prediction. However, some will hold to their winter wonders, as there's always a mixed bag of expectations for Phil on his big day. The VR game is a sequel to the 1993 Groundhog Day movie, taking place many years after the events of the film. Meanwhile, he has not seen his shadow just 19 times - counting this year - meaning an early spring. This qualified as an early spring for many people.
The Groundhog Day traditions were observed as usual in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on Saturday, despite the temperature of 2 degrees Fahrenheit. Phil's handlers said that the groundhog has forecast an early spring.
As legend has it, when the groundhog wakes and doesn't see his shadow, spring is on its way - but if not, you better keep the winter coats and mittens at hand.
It may be hard to believe as a large swath of the USA thaws out from a bitter polar vortex, but spring is coming early, according to handlers for some of the country's most famous prognosticating groundhogs. The group believed the act would bless the household throughout the winter.


As spear-phishing tactics continue to evolve, attackers are using these threats with greater frequency and severity, making spear-phishing attacks the top threat vector for many organizations, according to a new report from Barracuda Networks.
Despite increased awareness of the types of threats they face, companies continue to fall victim to spear-phishing campaigns because attacks are becoming more tailored, with malicious actors leveraging social engineering tactics such as urgency and brevity, the report found.
Attackers often exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in brand-impersonation attacks, which makes it easier to bypass traditional email security because they come from reputable senders and are typically hosted on domains that weren't previously used as part of any malicious attack, the report said.
The attacks are not randomly deployed, as the report found that cyber-criminals carefully time their attacks, with one in five emails delivered on Tuesday. In addition, cyber-criminals also take advantage of the holiday season, knowing that there is a greater likelihood of security weaknesses.
The report found that the week before Christmas saw a 150% spike in spear-phishing attacks.
Barracuda will discuss findings from this research in the Infosecurity Magazine Online Summit keynote, next Tuesday, 2:30–3:00 pm GMT. Register to attend at https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/online-summits/online-summit-emea-2019-1-1-1-1-1/.

Increased belowground biomass and soil CO2 fluxes after a decade of carbon dioxide enrichment in a warm-temperate forest.
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have risen 40% since the start of the industrial revolution. Beginning in 1996, the Duke Free-Air CO2 Enrichment experiment has exposed plots in a loblolly pine forest to an additional 200 microL/L CO2 compared to trees growing in ambient CO2. This paper presents new belowground data and a synthesis of results through 2008, including root biomass and nutrient concentrations, soil respiration rates, soil pore-space CO2 concentrations, and soil-solution chemistry to 2 m depth. On average in elevated CO2, fine-root biomass in the top 15 cm of soil increased by 24%, or 59 g/m2 (26 g/m2 C). Coarse-root biomass sampled in 2008 was twice as great in elevated CO2 and suggests a storage of approximately 20 g C x m(-2) x yr(-1). Root C and N concentrations were unchanged, suggesting greater belowground plant demand for N in high CO2. Soil respiration was significantly higher by 23% on average as assessed by instantaneous infrared gas analysis and 24-h integrated estimates. N fertilization decreased soil respiration and fine-root biomass by approximately 10-20% in both ambient and elevated CO2. In recent years, increases in root biomass and soil respiration grew stronger, averaging approximately 30% at high CO2. Peak changes for root biomass, soil respiration, and other variables typically occurred in midsummer and diminished in winter. Soil CO2 concentrations between 15 and 100 cm depths increased 36-60% in elevated CO2. Differences from 30 cm depth and below were still increasing after 10 years' exposure to elevated CO2, with soil CO2 concentrations >10000 microL/L higher at 70- and 100-cm depths, potentially influencing soil acidity and rates of weathering. Soil solution Ca2+ and total base cation concentrations were 140% and 176% greater, respectively, in elevated CO2 at 200 cm depth. Similar increases were observed for soil-solution conductivity and alkalinity at 200 cm in elevated CO2. Overall, the effect of elevated CO2 belowground shows no sign of diminishing after more than a decade of CO2 enrichment.

Tarzan in Los Angeles: The Legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs
by David Silon
When considering which author I should investigate, I figured the best place to start is right in my own backyard. But since my apartment does not have a backyard, I would have to use someone else's backyard. So this brings me to the town of Tarzana in the San Fernando Valley just north of Los Angeles. What makes this place so unique among all other places on this planet, is that Tarzana is the only place named after a literary character deemed so by the author himself.
The author, of course, was Edgar Rice Burroughs, born in 1875 in Chicago, the son of a businessman. In 1919, he purchased, for the handsome sum of $125,000, 540 acres of land in the Valley at the northern edge of the Santa Monica Mountains from the estate of General Harrison Gray Otis, former editor of the Los Angeles Times, who had died two years earlier. The quiet and seclusion of the area were two of the main factors that drew Burroughs to this place. It was also only a short drive from the glamour of Hollywood. On the former Otis land, Burroughs built a large ranch house and named it after his creation that brought him so much success – "Tarzana Ranch" – located on one of the first hills that form the northern edge of the Santa Monica Mountain range. It was behind this house, that the 1929 film Rio Rita, starring John Boles, was shot. The landscaping, represented by trees of all types, which one can still see today, was the work of General Otis who had imported many rare species from various parts of the world.
This beautiful ranch home was the culmination of years of struggle and drifting. Back in 1911, after seven years of low wages, he was working as a pencil sharpener salesman in Chicago. In his spare time, he began reading pulp magazines during which, he was reported to have said:
If people were paid for writing rot such as I read in some of those magazines [then] I could write stories just as rotten. As a matter of fact, although I had never written a story, I knew absolutely that I could write stories just as entertaining and probably a whole lot more so than any I chanced to read in those magazines.
Then he began to write, focusing primarily on the pulp market. His first story "Under the Moons of Mars" was serialized in All-Story magazine in 1912 and earned him $400 (today's rough equivalent of $7600).
Burroughs soon took up writing full-time, mainly in the science fiction/fantasy genre, and by the time the run of his "Moons of Mars" serial had finished he had completed two novels, one of which was Tarzan of the Apes which was published later that year, the first in his Tarzan series. As it turned out, Tarzan became a cultural sensation and he was determined to capitalize on its popularity in every way possible, mainly through Tarzan comic strips and merchandise. Experts warned against this, noting that these different venues would just end up competing against each other. Burroughs went ahead, anyway, and proved them wrong. His Tarzan character remains one of the most successful fictional characters to this day. Several more stories were written, besides the Tarzan stories, before he began his flirtation with Hollywood– "The Gods of Mars," "At the Earth's Core," " The Lost Continent," "Sweetheart Primeval," "The Girl From Fariss," " The Oakdale Affair," and "The Land That Time Forgot."
His connection with Hollywood began back in 1917 when the Selig Polyscope Co. produced one of his earliest novels The Lad and the Lion. By 1918, Hollywood began to take an interest in his Tarzan serials and that year, Tarzan of the Apes was produced by the National Film Corporation of America. It opened on Broadway and was a huge success, becoming one of the first Hollywood movies ever to gross over $1 million. Apes was followed later in the year by The Romance of Tarzan.
Because of the success of these two films, Hollywood planned to produce more of his Tarzan stories. Subsequently, he and his family moved out to California and purchased the ranch that became the Tarzana Ranch. In 1923, Burroughs subdivided a portion of his land for homes and this subdivision became known as the Tarzana Tract growing into the town of Tarzana in 1928 when it was incorporated.
In 1923 the author set up his own company, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and began printing his own books which he continued to do throughout the 1930s. He and his family lived in the ranch house where he wrote, until about 1925 when the El Caballero Country Club was developed adjacent to the ranch property and, by agreement, the ranch house then became the clubhouse. (Burroughs would, eventually, build another house on nearby Mecca Ave.) On the newly-developed golf course, the Burroughs family would often play rounds of golf with their friends, and in 1927, the Los Angeles Open Golf Tournament was held there.
The next decade proved to be a difficult time for Burroughs. During the Depression years, the club went broke and he had to assume the mortgage, operating the club property as a public course, renamed Tarzana Golf Course, to help in the payments. However, he was unable to pay off the mortgage and ended up losing this property to the bank. During this time, he often fought the illegal poachers and hunters who often invaded his former homesite. By 1934, he found himself divorced. In 1936, he put his former homesite up for sale.
Burroughs was living in Hawaii when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred, and subsequently enlisted as a war correspondent, becoming the oldest war correspondent for the US during WWII. After the war, he moved back to California and bought a house in Encino, just down the road from Tarzana Ranch where he died of a heart attack at the age of 74. During his lifetime, he had written almost 70 novels.
Tarzana Ranch still exists today. The surrounding town of Tarzana has become a chic town which forms a row of other chic towns along Ventura Blvd. that could possibly be compared to Beverly Hills. But Tarzana stands out from the rest as, chic, with a hometown feel to it, even though, the part of the town south of Ventura, is the abode of the super-rich, with estates as big as Monaco, not unlike the Ranch itself. The neighborhing houses are built in either Spanish, California tract, Midwestern, or European styles. After World War II, the El Caballero has been revived and is now situated in approximately the same place as originally. As for Tarzana Ranch itself, the property that cost $125,000 in 1919, is worth much more today. In 2004, it was sold for $3.5 million. As of this writing, the ranch is, once again on the market selling for $8 million.
I tried my best to pay a visit to the ranch house to get a feel of Edgar Rice Burroughs' life during his time there. Since I did not think anyone was living there at the time, I considered calling the real estate office to ask for a tour. But then again, since their whole purpose was to sell the ranch house, I did not think they would be too happy just to show this writer the property. So with my pen and notepad in hand, I walked along the edge of the estate, trying to find out where in the world the entrance was. But the challenge was, how to do that in a residential area without the residents or police becoming suspicious of me. It just so happened, no one really cared so I just went about the business at hand.
I finally found the entrance around the corner on Mecca Ave. But at the corner of the block, outside of the ranch property, a new mansion was being constructed. In addition, the driveway leading up to the ranch house was being paved, and the entire area was cordoned off. In the distance, on a tree, was a big sign that read "Security Dog on Property." Of course, I saw no dog. Therefore, I proceeded up the driveway. Then I saw the dog and he did not look too friendly. So I decided to change my mind and not go up the driveway after all thus keeping a respectable distance between me and the ranch house and most of all, the dog. But even from this distance, I could see a little bit of the house – a huge 2-story, built in the Spanish style, and its coloring was a light beige. It was most unfortunate that I could not go inside of the building, but perhaps, if there is a future sequel and if circumstances permit. . .

Light Shines On Thier Pupils They Close To Slits.

Today we added 160 gladiolus corms to Coppertop beds! Their name is Latin for "little sword," fitting for these upright summer blooms.
Varieties dug into the border outside the veggie garden fence: White Friendship, Black Beauty, and Sunrise (pink with peach centers). These will complement the glads we added there last year, Espresso and Fiorentina, pictured below. All are 50″ glads.
Varieties dug into two raised beds near dahlias and the border inside the veggie garden: Grande Passion (plum purple with white center), Safari (yellow with a splash of red), Magma (vibrant orangey red), Purple Mate, and Vista (plum, white, and lavender blend).
Most of these beds already contained gladiolus corms in need of invigoration. We planted the new corms 4″ deep and will add another 1-2 inches of compost on top. Although glads are happy at just 4″ deep, we leave ours in the soil over winter, so it's best for their protection to plant them deeper. As they sprout and grow tall, we'll support the beds with low wooden slat fences, as we did the last two summers. Planting corms a few inches apart allows the plants to lean on each other as a mass. The tighter groups of flowers are also gorgeous.
Love glads and nice use of the slat fences. I have a bed of glads against the house and struggle with toppling–I may use this design!
The low black wood fences have worked well as supports all around these gardens and are easy to move. The previous owners left a couple dozen in varying lengths, but we will add to them this year as some are showing rot and we're expanding the dahlia beds! An inexpensive fix I heartily recommend.
Ohhhh…I desperately need to come up with something for my dahlia beds. My stakes and garden twine contraption looks pretty ridiculous.
They are such magnificent flowers.
I've grown to love gladiolas since moving here. They're easy and striking — a great combo.

Mad Money with Jim Cramer
Cramer's Covid-19 Index
Cramer's Soundboard
Avoid 'Stupid' Speculation

Speculation is a great way to make money, Cramer said Tuesday, but buying a stock because you got a tip and the product seems sexy is just stupid.
Not every company can be an Apple , Cramer explained. Shares of Sirius Satellite Radio, for example, was endlessly pushed by people. Many retail investors said it had to be bought because it was sexy, low-priced product that would soon wipe out traditional radio. Those who bought shares of the company five years ago at $6.08 have watched it fall 77 percent to its current share price of $1.35.
Those losses were entirely avoidable, Cramer said. If investors had done their homework—at least one hour of research per week—they would have realized Sirius was a "lousy" investment. The satellite radio seemed cool, but Sirius wasn't making any money. The company was spending money and accumulating debt. To stay afloat, it announced plans to merge with competitor XM Radio. Government regulators held the merger up for 17 months until it finally closed at end July 2008. It was the heart of the financial crisis and money was hard to come by. The merger wasn't profitable and had to be bailed out by John Malone's Liberty Media, which ended up with a 40 percent stake in the company.
When a stock is being touted, you should be suspicious. It's not fun, but you have to examine the aspects of the company's balance sheet. Cramer recommends looking for stocks that pay big, juicy dividend yields. That way, you know your investment is going to put money in your pocket year after year.
CenturyLink is a great example of a dividend paying stock. With headquarters in Monroe, La., it is the largest rural telephone company in the US. The stock pays a $2.90 annual dividend, which yields 7.3 percent. So while a stock like Sirius could lose you money year over year, CenturyLink pays you cash just for being a shareholder.
In the last five years, CenturyLink's stock went from $31.90 to $39.70 for a 24 percent jump versus a 2 percent decline in the S&P 500 during the same time. Cramer thinks CenturyLink has more room to run. The company has survived recent consolidation in the industry, continuing to provide phone, Internet and television services in 33 states. The business isn't exactly exciting, but Cramer thinks the stock's dividend is worth it. CenturyLink raised the dividend this year and he thinks it's likely to raise it again sometime soon.
"At the end of the day, you need some speculative picks," Cramer said. "But be smart when you speculate, don't just blindly follow tips. We saw where that gets you with Sirius."
When this post was published, Cramer's charitable trust owned Apple.

Imagine that the mind is an ocean. Thoughts come to us like waves crashing on a beach, one after the other, a relentless pounding of the sand. At times more tranquil, at other times riled and roused by storms of intensity, each thought is influenced however slightly and indirectly by the wave-form before it; no wave is ever precisely the same, and once it has crashed its specificity is broken and lost, subsumed into the next wave, and so it goes.
When we think of the mind and its experiences through metaphors of natural phenomenon, like an ocean or spring or fountain, its personal qualities fall away, and we are more attentive to its rhythms and flows, its liquid structure, rather than its specific content. A primary way in which the body interacts with the mind is through changing the mind's structure. Running is a specific example of this; one reason that runners run is that the structure of their minds becomes altered when they do it.

Situation Of Human Rights In Kashmir Post Article 370: Interview with Khurram Parvez
By Sajad Rasool in Human Rights, Interviews, Kashmir
More from Sajad Rasool
We at Kashmir Unheard, recently spoke to Khurram Parvez, a prominent human rights activist from Kashmir about the overall situation of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir post abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian constitution, which granted special status to the territory.
Highlights from this Interview:
The government used its military might post 5 August, 2019, after the abrogation of Article 370, to enforce silence in J&K. They arrested hundreds of people, businessmen, lawyers, activist and politicians, internet and phone connections were banned. The number of encounters has increased, and people allege that disproportionate force is being used.
Three young men were also recently killed in a fake encounter, which appears to be done for rewards by the forces.
The government has criminalised politics over the past years; the police summon people who voice something on social media.
Every opinion other than the opinion of the government is being criminalised, that is not how the democracies work.
Highlights from the Annual Human Rights Review 2019, published by JKCCS
Killings: At least 366 killings in different incidents of violence took place across J&K in 2019. The year witnessed extrajudicial executions of at least 80 civilians in J&K, besides the killings of 159 militants and 129 armed forces.
Among 80 civilians killed in 2019, 12 were women. The year also saw targeted violence against non-local workers post the abrogation of Article 370 on 5 August, during which unidentified gunmen killed at least 14 non-local workers and several others were injured. Out of the 80 civilians killed, 19 were killed by the armed forces, 17 were killed in cross LOC shelling between Indian and Pakistani armed forces.
Encounters: A total of 87 encounters took place in Jammu and Kashmir leading to the killings of 150 militants and 29 personnel from Indian armed forces and J&K Police.
The abrogation of Article 370 has also lead to the winding up of various Commissions including the Jammu and Kashmir State Information Commission (SIC) and the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) and Consumer Commission. This again has led to the closure of the information and justice sought by people which in turn lead to the continual denial of justice to the people.
In 2019, five political activists and one relative of an elected Sarpanch were killed in various incidents of targeted violence in J&K.
Highlights from the Bi-Annual HR Review: 1 January to 30 June 2020
In the first half of 2020, 229 killings took place. Government forces conducted 107 search operations. Internet was shut down 55 times, while 48 properties were destroyed.
Children and women continued to be victims of violence in J&K as three children and two women were killed in the first half of 2020. From 1 January to 30 June, at least 107 Cordon and Search Operations (CASOs) and Cordon and Destroy Operations (CADOs) were conducted in J&K which resulted in the killing of 143 militants.
At least 57 encounters took place between Indian armed forces and the militants following CASOs in the first 6 months of 2020. During CASOs and encounters, vandalism and destruction of civilian properties were reported.
The report further states that about 200 jail inmates contracted coronavirus.

When you deprive people of using the internet, you are also depriving people of income generation capacity.
Demographic changes started in 1947. About 500,000 people were forced to migrate to Pakistan. The return of these people is an internationally recognised right; their properties are now mostly illegally occupied by people.
People in Ladakh and Jammu are also equally opposing these demographic changes.
Media has been under threat since the 90s. It was brazen then, now the government has tried to sophisticate its means of pressurising and controlling media and has again become brazen.
The people who want to resist are subject to torture and even killings.
On 28 October and 29 October, the National Investigation Agency conducted searches at several locations in Jammu and Kashmir in connection with a case related to the funding of "secessionist and separatist activities". Among those subjected to the raids was Khurram Parvez. This interview was recorded before the NIA raid.
The interview first appeared in Kashmir Unheard.

Q: Deliver files from a web server from outside the web app Is there anyway to server a file from a web server through the web, that is not within the web application.
I am using Tomcat and a Java servlets based application.

A: If you have the web-server fronting the Tomcat install then it is quite doable, just don't serve the files from the same Location has the Tomcat instance is running. Not so sure about Java, though again, if you have a web-server fronting the servlet instead of serving directly from Java itself that kind of redirection is quite possible.

The City of Sheffield Teachers' Choir was formed on Thursday, 7 November, 1968 by Sheffield's then Music Adviser, Dr. David Clover. It was a direct result of the daily choral sessions of his initial residential music course held at the Hayes Conference Centre, Swanwick. This was the first time that Sheffield music teachers had ever come together in this way and it was a historic occasion for Sheffield music.
The choir's first performance was the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in Sheffield Cathedral during Christmastide 1968.
For eleven years the choir flourished under David Clover's baton, raising much money for children's charities, both local and national, and giving opportunities for those connected, at that time, with the education service in Sheffield to come together and sing for the sheer joy of singing.
Since his death in January 1979 the choir has continued to perform both at home and abroad. It celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 2008 with a concert at St. John's Church, Ranmoor, on Friday 7 November.

Reading through their Archive I found all the details of the car which is still listed on the DVLA Data Bank.
However the Archive at A7CA indicates that the car is registered as a Red Ashley 750 Austin.
I'm assuming that the "Black" on the DVLA was the original 1937 ARR "New" Ruby Saloon colour.
The Archive at A7CA also confirm the Chassis number and gives the Engine number as 199807.

Dying Australian smoker wins landmark suit against tobacco company
MELBOURNE, Australia - A woman dying of lung cancer has become the first Australian smoker to win a lawsuit against an international tobacco company.
A six-member Victorian Supreme Court jury ordered London-based British American Tobacco to pay 51-year-old Rolah Ann McCabe 710,000 Australian dollars (dlrs 376,000) on Thursday. The multinational cigarette maker must also pay her legal costs. McCabe was diagnosed with the disease in 1999. She was awarded the money for pain and suffering as well as medical and home care expenses and loss of earnings. Physicians earlier testified that she would probably die before the end of the year. The company said in a statement that it would appeal the decision. "We believe we will be successful in the appeal," the company said, adding that it would decline to comment further. Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Eames criticized the company and its lawyers for destroying and hiding documents relevant to the case. He said a company policy known as "document retention" begun in 1985 "was to provide a means of destroying damaging documents under the cover of an apparently innocent housekeeping arrangement." Outside the court, McCabe said the company had lied about the effects of smoking, which she had taken up as a child because she thought it was "cool." "I was 12. They knew it caused cancer and they knew it was addictive," she told reporters. "I want to say to young girls today, don't make my mistake — don't get sucked in by the tobacco companies." Peter Gordon, a senior partner with law firm Slater and Gordon, said a class action on behalf of tobacco victims was again possible, and there would be many thousands of people with the same rights as McCabe. A class action brought by Slater and Gordon was rejected by the High Court in November 2000 when tobacco companies argued the legal action was too large, and that the discovery (news - web sites) of relevant documents would be too costly. Todd Harper, executive director of the anti-smoking campaign Quit Victoria, described the case as "a breakthrough and a landmark." "It has major implications in Victoria, nationally and overseas," he said.

I meant to mention this in my other comment on the podcast, but you said it again, and reminded me. I have to ask, what's this "English" you talk about when you mention swerving the ball? I heard an American mention this once before fairly recently, probably in Retro Gamer, and I was confused then, as I am now.
1959 Sunday Times 5 Apr. 4/5 The billiard term 'putting on the english', which Atticus states is current parlance in American bowling circles. The story goes that an enterprising gentleman from these shores travelled to the United States during the latter part of the last century and impressed the Americans with a demonstration of the effect of 'side' on pool or billiard balls. His name was English.
