Election Rant: Stay Away From Georgia Until At Least Wednesday
If you have traveled to the state of Georgia during the past couple of months, you might have noticed an inescapable onslaught of incessantly constant electioneering for two seats in the Senate of the United States which can decide whether the majority is comprised of Democrats or Republicans — to the point where the landscape is literally littered with literature, posters, and signs in an effort to attempt to sway votes in the favor of two of four candidates.
As a legal resident of the state of Georgia, I am beyond fed up with the constant and unceasing barrage of advertising — whether it is via television, the Internet, e-mail messages, text messages on my mobile telephone, voice messages, and even door hangers — of the lies and untruths of four candidates in what has become an unapologetic politically bloody battleground:
Jon, who has worked his Ossoff to become a member of the Senate of the United States
Kelly, who is even Loeffler than Gary Leff of View From the Wing — which should be a hint as to the correct pronunciation of her last name
David, who some believe is a fowl candidate even though he does not operate a poultry business despite having the last name of Perdue
Raphael, whose last name is intentionally pronounced Warlock by a friend of mine

I cannot even go to BoardingArea to escape this election garbage.
Just thinking about the tens of millions — perhaps even hundreds of millions — of dollars which already has been spent on this runoff election that could have assisted those in financial need due to the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic sickens me. All of the efforts which have already been expended in an effort to seize power and control could have instead been used for volunteer work to help people get on their feet. To me, that proves that none of them — nor their financial backers, of which many are not even from the state of Georgia — care about the plight of the average person.
The level of greed and selfishness which has been displayed by members of both the Democratic Party and Republican Party is significantly beyond the point of unacceptable, in my opinion — and to say that the lack of professionalism in the form of flagrant sniping and blatantly attacking each other is a colossal embarrassment is a gross understatement. As of the time I am writing this article, I cannot in good conscience vote for any of the four candidates because of how I feel — but I still plan on going to the polls tomorrow because I believe in the far-from-perfect election process, which sorely needs to be improved…
…and as for the individual candidates themselves, I am not about to go into why each of them are wrong for the office for which they are campaigning — nor am I even going to begin to touch upon the peurile controversy of the counting of votes between Donald Trump and Brad Raffensperger, who are the current president of the United States and secretary of state of the state of Georgia respectively. This article is already too political in context; and I just needed to vent with this rant. Thank you for listening — or, at least, reading.
If you plan on traveling to the state of Georgia, please do yourself a favor and wait until at least Wednesday, January 6, 2021 — which is when the election will have been over and the results will likely be known — so that you will not be subject to this non-stop ridiculousness and instead enjoy the many things which the state of Georgia has to offer, which include but by all means are not limited to:
Tubin' the 'Hooch North of Atlanta
Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park to Charge Entrance Fee to Visitors — and My Trip Report
Run Five Kilometers on the Fifth Runway at Airport — Atlanta, Georgia

I may live in GA but know it's the Democrat Party, not the Democratic Party.
Brian Cohen says:
I simply went with what members of the party officially call it, Max Gross:

So. Very. Much. This.
Georgia has been overrun by insanity throughout this entire election cycle… the costly and hate-filled runoff is just the latest in a series of ridiculous actions. If everyone, on all sides, who does not live here full-time would just keep their money and opinions out of our state we would all be better off.
While I can proudly say I voted for none of these buffoons in the November election, I must now decide to forego my right to cast a vote tomorrow… or pick the least offensive of the evils presented. What a waste.
In 27 hours or so, this will all be over… we will figure out how to go forward with whoever wins and the barrage of sensationalist ads will stop!
GUWonder says:
$830+ million dollars spent over 2 US Senate seats in this run-off. Just peachy, Georgia. Just peachy.
So incredibly sad, eh? If only ANY of these politicians could find a way to sacrifice their egos for our well-being.

I began to write this post on February 20, 2014. It was a birthday of my grandfather, who would have become 87 this year if he was still alive. Unfortunately, he passed away several years ago, in October 2005.
…this sums up my Berlin travels so far. Adventures, discoveries, new experiences. Feeling alive… it is a very special place, and it has its own place in my life and my memories.
San Francisco is a very special city for me. In this post, I reflect on how the dream to visit it was born, how it happened and what feelings it left afterwards.
Going to sleep on the night of October 1st/2nd, I realized that it had been exactly a year since my first cross-Atlantic flight landed in São Paulo, with several hours still separating me from my destination – a town called São Carlos, where I would spend the next month of my life… I decided that the "anniversary" could be used as a reason to write about that experience – and share some photos from that month!
Here are some photos from a day trip to Harz/Brocken.
The products get critiques for their glossy screens, and people get irritated because of all these fingerprints on the screen and difficulties to see through them… But what if we look at them?..


And a pair of earring backs. (Ask any craft store for this if you can't find it in the jewelry section. I have seen them at JoAnn's. Michaels, Roberts, and Hobby Lobby).
I didn't want my earrings to have holes and look like an actual button (although that would be cute if it were your style) so I bought buttons with the hole on the back of the button.
My husband has a drill that will take the backs off easily, but for those who don't have access to a drill, I have also removed the back with a hammer. No trick here, just hit the back of the button with a hammer until the back breaks off. (Warning, do not do this on important tables, you will dent the table. Instead place the button on a book you don't care about or on carpet).
Then you super-glue your button to the earring back.
You will have so many options. I have even painted some of mine for fun!
I love these. I have done something similar in the past. Another great source is sweaters that are missing buttons that you are going to replace anyways.
Oh my, these are super cute!! I have seen button earrings with the holes and I am not a big fan. I am going to give these a try. I love big round earrings and like you I just spent way to much on my last pair. This makes me want to rummage threw the buttons I have today. Thanks.
my sister-in-law taught me this trick 20+ years ago. I can make earrings to match my outfit's buttons. sew nice.


A TU BOLA A meatball restaurant sound odd, but that's because we aren't aware of all the delicious possibilities that concept bring us. You can choose between a great diversity of meatballs and accompaniments, enjoy the little restaurant atmosphere in the middle of El Raval and just spend 10-15€ tops.
EL TIANGUIS If there are any better tacos in Barcelona, we don't know about it. This Mexican restaurant in La Eixample seems to use the finest ingredients without letting the client pay for it. Besides, it's a very colorful place where everything looks extremely delicious. You'll feel full for 10-15€.
LA INFORMAL Located in one of the main streets in El Raval, this burger restaurant offers you exactly the burger you look for. You can choose the bread, the meat, the cheese, the sauces… Burger and drink for less than 10€.

READ BY EMILIA FOX. Our endearing duo are thrilled to be taking an exciting trip to town. Little Green Croc just can't wait to rush off into the bright lights and bustle of the city, but the slightly more worldly-wise Melrose advises caution – the crowds are big and Croc is a very small crocodile, and if they are not careful, he might end up…LOST! Thankfully the friends are reunited for a happy ending.
This entertaining urban adventure for the loveable pair is sure to amuse children and parents alike, and shows the dazzling potential of the Melrose and Croc series.

Stay-at-home vs shelter-in-place: Here's what they mean
Cities and counties around the country are considering and adopting both stay-at-home and shelter-in-place measures to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Author: Chelsea Tatham
Published: 12:37 PM CDT March 25, 2020
Updated: 5:11 AM CDT March 26, 2020
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Stay-at-home. Shelter-in-place. Safer-at-home.
These are terms often used in local and national emergencies and enacted by state and local governments to keep people safe. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, they're becoming commonplace as nations try to slow the spread of coronavirus.
But, do they all mean the same? The short answer is no.
However, one city's stay-at-home order may be exactly the same -- or wildly different -- than another city's or county's.
"Stay-at-home" and "Safer-at-home" are the most similar depending on the exact verbiage of the order being enacted. And, many of these orders around the country have similar rules and guidance.
RELATED: These states have issued stay-at-home orders. What does that mean?
RELATED: Where can I go? What does a 'stay-at-home' order mean?
What is a stay-at-home order?
Depending on the exact wording of the order, it requires everyone living in the city, county or state to limit travel outside the home only to essential activities and for outdoor exercise.
At least a dozen states have issued stay-at-home orders. And, some cities and counties have issued similar orders. These orders are not total lockdowns as federal law lets each state, city or county to decide its own rules when requiring residents to stay home.
So far, most stay-at-home orders have similar exemptions that let residents get groceries, go outside for fresh air and exercise, go to doctor's visits and the pharmacy and provide essential infrastructure and utility services.
What is a safer-at-home order?
Again, depending on who is drafting and issuing the order, safer-at-home mostly means the same as a stay-at-home order. Governments like Pinellas County's named their order "Safer-at-Home" but still requires residents to stay at home as much as possible.
However, unlike similar measures around the country, Pinellas County's safer-at-home order allows non-essential businesses to remain open so long as they self-police when it comes to social distancing.
What is a shelter-in-place order?
A shelter-in-place order is typically used by local authorities during or right after an emergency. For example, one can be issued during a mass shooting or a tornado. It usually means you should stay inside the building, room or car you are in until further notice, according to the CDC.
However, some shelter-in-place orders issued during the coronavirus pandemic don't require people to stay in certain buildings or prevent them from going outside.
Similar to a stay-at-home order, San Francisco's shelter-in-place order has exemptions for essential businesses like grocery stores, health care facilities and restaurants with delivery. And, airports and most public transportation are still open, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
On Friday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the term "shelter-in-place" can invoke panic. On Tuesday, the New York Times editorial board wrote "all Americans need to shelter in place" and "it's time for a national lockdown."

The study - which won an award at the recent British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences conference - assessed among other things the running, catching, and balance skills of 250 girls and boys between 6-11 years, categorising their FMS as either low, medium or high.
Researchers at Coventry University, working in collaboration with Middlesex University and the University of South Carolina, then cross-referenced the kids' motor skills with their body fatness to investigate the relationship between the two. The children's habitual physical activity was also taken into account.
there was no significant difference in body fatness across the low, medium and high FMS categories for boys.
"We know from previous studies that primary school children with a higher body mass index are likely to have poorer fundamental movement skills, but our research is aiming to understand this relationship in more detail - particularly how gender may play a role.
"What we've found is significant because it signals a need to review the strategies we have to enhance motor proficiency in girls, and means we should be engaging health practitioners and PE teachers to help explore and understand how additional opportunities or different techniques may be required compared with boys.
"The next big question - which we're continuing to research - is whether developmental delays in acquiring these motor skills, whether in girls or boys, may actually be the cause of children gaining unhealthy weight status."

Lady Reader's Bookstuff: Caroline Bock stops by to speak about Bullying & Giveaway.
I would step up and tell. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would stand up for the victim of the hate crime.
I would definitely try to stop it, and go to the authorities. Thanks!
If there were something I could do to possibly stop it at the time, I would try my best...immediately going to the authorities with detailed information would be objective #1 regardless of when/where I came across the incident - hate crimes make me nauseous!
If I could step in at the time, I would. And I would definitely go to the authorities with it. Hopefully with proof of the perpetrators.
I don't think I would be able to sleep at night if I didn't let the proper authorities know.
I like to think I'd speak up and either say something to the person committing the crime, or at least call for help and get the police or whoever to come and help the victim. I'd hate to think I'd let it slide. In fact, I don't think I could forgive myself if I did.
I would hope that I would speak up and find someone who could help with the situation. I would definitely want to tell the police about it and try to have as much evidence of it as I could. I couldn't just stand by and watch, I know I'd do something.
If you were a witness to a hate crime what would you do?
I would speak out, go to the defense of the victim and give what evidence is require.
I would have to report it. I don't know how I could live with myself if I didn't do something.
I certainly hope with all my training in criminal justice that I'd report it.
I work in public safety. If you don't tell, then no knows that help is needed (most of the time)! I would report it.
I would probably report it. I hope that I would have the courage to raise my voice against such acts.


Where to drink/buy cider in Copenhagen?
My last time in Copenhagen was almost three years ago and from what I remember, there was not much real cider around the city except the alco-pop produced by the Carlsberg Group. Now, three years later, cider significantly gained in popularity and is offered by many restaurants and bars. More to that, some restaurants list cider in the wine menu, not in the beer menu as almost the rest of the world does. So where you can find real cider in Copenhagen? Scroll down to see my recommendations.
Holm Cider is the absolute #1 in Copenhagen in terms of cider. Conveniently located in a very popular and apparently the coolest neighbourhood of Copenhagen, Vesterbro just behind the Copenhagen Central station and Tivoli Gardens with countless bars and restaurants. Holm Cider is a place that has a great atmosphere and offers a wide selection of cider on draught, by the glass or bottle to drink there or bring home. They will even make you a cocktail based on cider. If you are new to cider and don't know exactly what you'd like to have a very friendly and knowledgable staff will assist you with your choice. Sometimes Danish cider makers stand behind the bar. Hence, Holm Cider is a true cider gem in this part of Europe. As for cider producers, you will find mainly cider from local Danish producers such as Aeblerov, Ciderrevolution, Decideret Cider or Mergelsø. But also cider from many European cider makers such as Dunkertons, Burrow Hill, Manoir du Grandouet, Andreas Schneider or Cidrerie du Leguer just to name a few. Holm Cider has also an outdoor seating area so when the sun comes out you can sit outside with a glass of cider and get a feeling of Danish hygge.
Actually, I remember Holm Cider already from my last visit to Copenhagen. At the time Holm Cider was just a cider shop located on the other side of the street with very strange working hours. Since I was also on a business trip last time, I didn't manage to get inside and speak to the owner. I was just looking through the window at cider bottles of producer I have never tried before. Finally, I had a chance! And, it was fantastic!
I haven't been there in person but Florian Profitlich from Gutshof Kraatz warmly recommended this place to me. The bar is open only from Wednesday until Saturday and if you fancy a bottle of local cider to take home with you, you can visit their shop just a block away.
Lord Nelson Bar is a tiny bar in the city centre that doesn't make a good impression when you walk in as it's dark and smells of cigarette smoke although no one actually smokes there. Nevertheless, it's worth a visit as the owners make their own cider from apples grown in an orchard close to Skælskør. They make a few different English style ciders from whole juice usually by blending two to four apple varieties. I've tried their Danish Misstress and really enjoyed it. Usually, they have two different ciders on tap that have various level of sweetness/dryness. For their current offer click the link.
Taphouse is also located in the centre of Copenhagen so if you are doing sightseeing here you might sooner or later pass by this bar. Taphouse is a craft beer bar that has astonishing 61 taps and two of them are dedicated to cider or perry. At the time of my visit, they had perry from Hecks's Cider and cider from Sheppy's but they have also local cider from time to time. Check their website for the current tap list here and look at Tap 7 & 8 for cider/perry.
Fermentoren is another place in Vesterbro offering cider. And, another spot that I really like in Copenhagen. I feel in Fermentoren like a student again meeting up with friends and having a good time. They have also an outdoor seating area which is great both when it's hot and cold as blankets are available. Some places have just good vibes. Their current tap list can be found here. Cider/Perry offered on tap 2.
I think Charlie's Bar should actually be renamed to Little Britain as it is a true British gem hidden in Copenhagen. The moment you walk inside you feel that you are in an actual pub in the UK. Not only because everyone speaks English here. Just look at the picture below and tell me if I'm wrong. Cider wise they have only The Westons Old Rosie and an alcopop from Mortimer's on draught. But due to reasons named earlier, it's really worth visiting.
Mikkeller is a famous Danish craft beer producer that has set up craft beers bars offering his beer all around the world. Can't speak for other branches, but Mikkeller Bar in Vesterbro and Mikkeller Bar in Terminal 2 at Copenhagen Airport offer cider from time to time. Although admittedly, this cider is usually hopped. I loved the fact that Mikkeller also has a bar at the Copenhagen airport as I could say goodbye to Copenhagen by drinking Aeblerov+Mikkeler's' Citra Dry Hopped Cider. Check here for current tap list in Mikkeller Bar in Vesterbro and here for CPH Aiport.
Yes, it is another place in Vesterbro. Kødbyens Fiskebar is a fish and seafood restaurant located in old industrial premises in the Meatpacking District (Kødbyen). I had a delicious set of oysters as starter and fish & chips as main here. Cider is listed in the wine menu and available only by the bottle either from Aeblerov or Ciderrevolution.
Apart from earlier mentioned Holm Cider, you will find also at Rødder & Vin an interesting selection of Scandinavian cider from Fruktstereo, Gustav's Cider and Nagelsbjerg available by the bottle.
This is the place to go in Vesterbro if you're looking for Asturian sidra from El Gaitero.
If there are more cider spots in Copenhagen worth mentioning, just drop me a line! I would be happy to update my post.
Where to drink/buy cider in Kuala Lumpur?
As you might have noticed, I travel quite frequently for work, so I always try to take advantage of it by compiling information about cider and its availability in the currently visited city. This time I had to head to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, which gave me the opportunity to explore local cider spots and sample a couple of not exactly local ciders. Malaysia is a Muslim country and for this reason, there is a high excise tax on beverages containing alcohol, cider including. Hence, cider is considered a premium product here. Most locals don't consume alcohol, not only because of religious or financial reasons but because they prefer spending their pay on family-related activities. But, since Kuala Lumpur is a huge city with many expats living here coming from the UK, Australia, the Netherlands, Germany and many other countries, who earn incomparably more than Malaysians and have no better things to do than hanging out after work, the demand for alcohol-containing products is high.
The demand might be high, but the vast majority of grocery stores stock Strongbow, Somersby or quite recently launched Apple Fox from Heineken (I reviewed the Dutch version of this cider here). Sometimes you can find other commercial ciders from the UK such as Magner's, Gaymer's, Savannah Dry from South Africa or Three Oaks Cider from Australia. If you want real stuff you should check stores and bars offering craft beer. This is what I did and here is the feedback from my KL cider tour.
Ales & Lagers, located in a shopping mall Publika, is a cosy and friendly place that shares the space with a print shop. The guy who runs the shop is a very friendly Chinese, anything but helpful in terms of cider. Don't bother asking him about cider recommendations as his focus is only craft beer. Anyway, I liked the atmosphere there as I was treated like a regular customer, not a Masaleh. Anyway, I've noticed that most people visiting this shop consider Ales & Lagers as a place to have one or two beers before heading to a nightclub. Ales & Lagers stocks a small selection of ciders from the New Zeland-based Zeffer Cider Company and Australian-based the Hills Cider Company. I tried some of them and will publish the reviews soon.
Taps Beer Bar has a few locations around KL. This a good place for the Friday night hangout or to meet other expats. In addition, the food is supposed to be good as per feedback from my work colleagues who usually go there for lunch. At Taps, they usually have at least one cider on draught made by an Australian brewery 2 Brothers. You can check Taps' current tap list here.
Not exactly based in KL, but in Petaling Jaya, which is usually referred as PJ and is a satellite city of KL. The Great Beer Bar is owned by the same person as previously mentioned Ales & Lagers so it is also a craft beer store offering beer in bottles and on tap. But, in contrast to Ales & Lagers they have their own kitchen. Cider wise they have bottled Zeffer and the Hills Cider Company.
If there are more cider spots in Kuala Lumpur worth mentioning, just drop me a line! I would be happy to update my post.
After my business trip was over, I extended my stay in Boston to visit Downeast Cider House located in East Boston. My extra day was Tuesday, exactly the day when their taproom is closed. So I sent an email to the Downeast Cider team and explained the situation. Luckily, Max replied that he would be happy to meet me at the taproom and sample a few ciders with me.
As for some background information, the first time I came to Boston two years ago, cider from the Downeast Cider House was the first Boston cider I have ever tried. And, frankly speaking, I instantly fell in love with. Furthermore, I was so fascinated with their cider that I even considered applying for the position of cider maker, which was open at the time. Downeast Cider House was established in 2011 by two college students Ross and Tyler who instead of taking the exams and graduating, prefered to make hard cider. Over the years the company has grown and expanded and the production site had to move from the first location in Back Bay to East Boston. As for the visit, Max let me try their regular ciders and special releases. Afterwards, Max gave me a tour of their premises and explained all production steps.
For their cider, the Downeast Cider team uses culinary and table apples such as McIntosh, Red Delicious, Cortland or Gala, which come from Massachusetts and surrounding states. The juice is pressed at the orchards and delivered to the facility in East Boston where it is fermented with a pale ale yeast. Once the sugar concentration drops to the desired level, cider is pasteurised at high temperature for 30 seconds. Subsequently, cider is either canned or eventually matured in barrels (special releases).
Their current canning line is capable of producing 90 cans per minute so during a 10-hour shift they can get lots of cider into cans! Also, Downeast Cider wants to upgrade their canning line with the beginning of the new year to a more effective canning line capable of producing 200 cans per minute.
In their taproom, I've tried their Original Blend (their flagship cider), which is the first cider they ever released, Double Blend, Drier Side, Aloha Friday (with pineapple juice), Drier Side Hopped Grapefruit, Celebracion (special release blended with lime and aged in tequila barrels), and Hard Arnold (special release blended with Earl Grey tea). I don't have any detailed tasting notes for you as most of the time I was speaking to Max and asking all the details related to their cider production. But, you could tell that the Original Blend is used as the base for all of the ciders from their range. All ciders were unfiltered, with a similar level of sweetness, except for Drier Side, as well as the tartness. They were all dangerously easily drinkable and very tasty, which doesn't necessarily mean that they were very complex or full-bodied. But they tasted good anyway. Only, I was the least fond of the Drier Side, which was very watery and thin. But as for my favourite, I couldn't really decide between Double Blend, Drier Side Hopped Grapefruit, Celebracion and Hard Arnold. In the end, I thought that the Double Blend was my personal favourite.
I wish to thank Max from the Downeast Cider House for letting me try their ciders in the tap room, explaining all production steps and showing me around. Also, for being patient and answering my countless questions. Should I ever return to Boston, I'll try to visit the taproom during opening hours.
For more information about the cider scene in Boston and tasting notes of the Original Blend and X Cunard No 44 from Downeast Cider, read my latest blog post.
Where to drink/buy cider in Wrocław?
Initially, I thought that Academus is a student haven due to its name. However, everyone who likes international beer and Polish cider come here. This small pub and B&B in one is run by a friendly couple, who really pay attention to their guests' needs. It's located in the city centre, just a few steps from the main square. From time to time they have Cydr Tradycyjny z Trzebnicy on draught, which is a local cider from Trzebnica located 30km from Wrocław. You can click here to find if and which cider is currently available on draught. Also, you can choose from their selection of bottled Polish craft cider.
Vaffa Napoli is located in the historical Jewish Quarter and is actually a restaurant serving pizza and other Italian foods. Apart from really delicious pizza, they have craft cider from Cydr Smykan available in bottles and sometimes on draught. To check their current offer on tap click here. Just a note, they serve cider at too low temperature and with ice. Allow your cider to warm up a little otherwise, you will not taste anything. Also, ask the waiter to skip the ice.
Not far away from Vaffa Napoli, you can visit also Marynka, Piwo i Aperitivo, a craft beer bar. I come here mainly for the delicious cider, which you can find in the fridge, Japko from Winnica De Sas but also because you can sit outside in the summer and enjoy the nice weather. Interestingly, they have a book with requests for draught beer, etc. so don't forget to leave a note 'CYDR' (Polish for cider) there. Another advantage is that they have a food truck on their premises, Happy Little Truck serving absolutely delicious, and probably the best pizza in Wrocław. Try their pizza 'Capperi', which pairs excellently with Japko.
4 Hops is another centrally located craft beer bar with austere interior design, with no fuzz and friendly staff that knows good beer. Unfortunately, no any sort of outdoor seating is available. More to that, they rarely have cider on tap. 4 Hops stocks Jabko from Winnica De Sas. You can check if they currently have any cider on draught by clicking this link. The staff keep their offer up to date.
Another spot for cider lovers, in the summer at Szynkarnia you may find at least one cider on draught from one of the Polish craft cider makers such as Cydr Chyliczki or Cydr Smykan. You can check their current offer here. In addition, bottled cider is available here. To be honest, I never come here as Szynkarnia is always crowded and full of loud speaking people. Also, they seem not to have a good ventilation system as the strong smell of food is rather disturbing. So cider is the only reason to visit Szynkarnia, if you dare.
Pasibus is a burger chain so if you want to drink sweet and dull cider of unknown origin, PasiCydr (you can find the review here) with your burger you may taste it at one of their restaurants across Wroclaw.
Located in a neighbourhood called Nadodrze, which with every day gets more popular among locals Drink Hala is basically a craft beer shop with a really huge selection of Polish craft cider. But you will find here a range of commercial cider from Poland and the UK such as Westons, as well. I usually come here, when I want to buy a bottle of a recently launched cider as they simply would have every Polish cider here sooner or later. I haven't seen such an extensive selection even in Warsaw.
Another craft beer shop stocking also Polish craft from Cydr Smykan and Kwaśne Jabłko along with Polish commercial cider brands.
Dobre Moce is a wholesaler and retailer in one. Since they are based quite far from the city centre I never made it to pay them a visit. However, I know that they stock cider from Manufaktura Cydru.
If there are more cider spots in Wrocław worth mentioning, just drop me a line! I would be happy to update my post.
Recently, I have visited my favourite market hall/food court in Berlin, The Markthalle Neun. The Markthalle Neun is enormously popular among locals, fresh Berliners and visitors from around the globe craving for high-quality tasty and unique food and drinks at quite reasonable prices. Actually, I don't remember when was the last time I was there, it must have been around a year ago, so I've decided to check if any of the shops/stalls started offering any new cider or perhaps a cider I haven't sampled yet. During my last visit to the Markthalle Neun I've come across a French cidre from Kerné (to read the review click here) at Monsieur Collard, Cidre Fournier Artisanal Brut at Weinhandlung Suff, Lulu de Mere Cidre, which sounds French, but I think it comes from Germany (I'm not sure about it though) at Comptoir du Cidre, and a Spanish mainstream sidra Manzanova. Monsieur Collard still has Kerné on offer, Weinhandlung Suff carries Cidre Fournier, Comptoir du Cidre only occasionally participate in the Street Food Thursday serving a delicious cidre steak (at least they used to) and a Spanish shop offering Manzanova seems to be no longer in business.
Luckily, two new cider spots have opened in the Markthalle Neun. The first one is Schaufenster Uckermark selling a range of delicious Apfelwein from Kelterei Gutshof Kraatz, which is based in Uckermark (read my past reviews on their Wilde Kerle and Apfelglühwein). Unfortunately, the shop was closed at the time of my visit but I saw a few bottles of various Gutshof Kraatz's Apfelweins through the window. Judging by the half-empty bottles of Gutshof Kraatz' Apfelwein in the fridge they sell also Apfelwein by glasses. I'll grab a glass of the delicious Wilde Kerle next time I'm around.
What a pleasant surprise it was, when I discovered Rødder, a Danish stall offering Smørrebrød, and wild danish cider from two cider makers, Æblerov and Olsens Frugt. Since I haven't had any Danish cider in my life I just couldn't wait to give them a try! A 750ml bottle is sold at approx. 20 EUR, but fortunately you can also purchase a wine glass at 4.50-5 EUR. A good option for those who want to try every cider from their cider selection.
In addition, at Rødder they always have one Danish cider on draught from Æblerov. In terms of food, I haven't tried anything as all herring was already sold out, but I heard oohing and aahing of folks, who have decided to order other snacks. Hopefully, I'll get the herring next time. Back to cider, I have sampled three ciders out of the range presented on the right, Cider from Olsens, and Prendila Cosi the Cox + Cider from Æblerov. Also, I've purchased a bottle of the Benene På Nakken to try at home. Scroll down for my tasting notes.
In summary, it was my first acquaintance with Danish cider and I'm not disappointed. All sampled ciders from two Danish cider producers tasted nice, were balanced, yet tasted quite similar, wild with notes of nail polish, high dryness and high acidity. My favourite was definitely the last one, the Cox+Cider Aebler 2016 from Æblerov as it was the most complex of those I've tried and because it reminded me of Spanish sidra with high acidity, along with acetic and citrus notes. For sure, it wasn't, my last visit at Rødder in the Markthalle Neun in Berlin. Also, I still have to try the Alkmene from Æblerov, and as announced earlier, Rødder's herring.
Where to drink/buy cider in Toronto?
Toronto is a remarkable city with many faces and great, friendly, open-minded people. It reminded me Berlin a bit, not only because of the TV tower. Cider is available here at literally every bar, pub or restaurant. To my surprise, most bars carry commercial cider from Europe such as Somersby. Fortunately, they usually also stock an alternative to this European cider from concentrate, a cider from a local cider maker Thornbury Village.
I've decided to check what others already wrote about cider in Toronto, and I have found at least two very good articles about where to find cider there. One from Toronto Life published Feb 2017 and one slightly older from BlogTo. Nevertheless, I've made the decision to compile my own list and share with you my feedback and impressions. It took me a longer while to write about all the cider spots in Toronto. But here it is!
number one favourite in terms of cider spots in Toronto. If I had lived in Toronto I would surely become a regular customer. You can find regularly rotating tap selection featuring local cider makers from Ontario area. Cider flights are also available. If that's not enough, they have an incredible selection of bottled cider available as well. Since I sat at the bar I kept staring at 4 giant refrigerators stocked with cider from different regions of Canada, mainly Ontario and Quebec, but also the U.S.. Also European ciders from the UK, France, Spain and even Estonia from Jaanihanso can be found here. When I was reviewing the extensive bottled cider menu I was really confused and overwhelmed by the choice here. Fortunately, the staff was amazing and I got a few recommendations for a number of interesting Canadian ciders. Trust me, I wanted to try every single cider on the menu and it was almost a torture to pick only a few. Here is the link to their hypnotizing cider menu. If you're into ice cider you can sample ice cider from Quebec by the glass. Also, their cocktails are based on cider if you are a fan. Even the food there tastes incredible. Pure heaven! I actually wanted to pay them a visit again on Monday but unfortunately they're closed on Mondays so you can imagine my huge disappointment. Anyway, Her Father's Cider Bar & Kitchen is a must visit spot for every cider lover.
Located in the middle of the Polish neighbourhood on Roncesvalles, the Cider House is a nice and cosy bar that has a wide selection of regional cider from Ontario on tap. Cider flights featuring 4 different ciders are available here at 9 CAD and are slightly cheaper than at Her Father's Cider Bar & Kitchen. My tasting notes from the visit there can be found here. They also serve food but I wasn't hungry at the time. Fortunately, Cider House is open on Mondays so I came here one more time before heading to the airport as it was close to Bloor, an UP Express station.
Birreria Volo, as the name already indicates, is located in Little Italy. It's actually well-hidden and it took me a while to find the place. It's pretty dark with minimalist and modern design that appealed to me. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the dim light in the place. As for cider, at Birreria Volo they usually have 2 to 4 changing regional ciders available on draught. Click here to see what is currently available on tap. Again, they even have Estonian cider from Jaanihanso by the glass. I came here a few times as it was close to my airbnb accommodation and I just enjoyed being there.
Tequila Bookworm is a lively bar based in the popular shopping street in Toronto, Queen Street West. Again, it was similarly hidden just like it was in the Birreria Volo's case. At Tequila Bookworm they have always at least two ciders available on tap. Since they had really weird cider (at least to me) on offer at the time of my visit, such as Vanilla Ice Cream Apple Pie Milkshake cider from Revel Cider Company or Hopped Peach Cider (I'm not a fan of hopped cider) from the West Avenue Cider Company, I've decided not to stay there longer and continued my search for cider spots in Toronto. But if you're not a cider purist like me, you might enjoy your glass of cider here.
Since I've decided to explore Toronto on foot, which turned out to be a terrible idea as I wasn't aware that streets can be that long here, I didn't manage to check The Only Cafe. But I hear that they also have a great cider selection. 5 changing regional craft ciders on tap. For their current line-up check here.
Wvrst is another place famous for craft cider, and sausages, I would guess (Wurst is German for sausage) that I didn't manage to check out as it was on the other side of the city and thus not part of my route. However, from what I read now about this place, I do regret that I didn't pay them a visit. Next time!
In terms of shops, you will find cider at special stores that have a licence to sell alcohol called LCBO. I was told that ice cider is available only in the winter here. They have many stores around the city and the state. You can also purchase cider straight from the source if you decide to visit a tasting room of one of the local cider makers. Check out the website of the Ontario Craft Cider Association to see the list of local cideries. Cheers!
If there are more cider spots in Toronto worth mentioning, just drop me a line! I would be happy to update my post.
Apples: a blend including Dabinett, Yarlington Mill and Chisel Jersey.
Appearance: pours a hazy pale amber with a massive head, which only slowly dissipates. Highly carbonated, with beautiful strings of bubbles. Body is medium. Sediment in the bottle.
Aroma/Nose: the nose has apricots, raisins, overripe and fermented apples with wood. A beautiful scent typical for French cidre that makes your mouth water.
Taste: it starts slightly sweet with low acidity and a hint of vinegar. Followed by dried fruits such as apricots, raisins and fermented apples. I can also get a bit watery taste with a smoky note, a lingering taste of wood with a medium to high astringency, a hint of lemon and a distant barnyard note.
Availability: in the UK from Cider Supermarket. In other European countries e.g. from Cider Lab.
Price: purchased online from Cider Lab at 6.50 EUR.

The world's first footage of a black hole in motion could soon be created by the scientists behind a groundbreaking image of the phenomenon released last week.
Experts using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) say they will produce a video of hot gases whirling chaotically around the shadow or 'accretion disk' of the black hole.
The supermassive black hole sits at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87, roughly 54 million light-years from Earth.
EHT is a 'virtual' telescope that uses data from observatories around the world to turn the whole of the Earth into one giant detector.
Researchers believe that, as more telescopes join the EHT project, they can produce more detailed images and eventually film the black hole.
Experts say it would be relatively straightforward to make a movie of the black hole in M87.
To do so, researchers may have to work for seven weeks in a row to get seven individual frames and then see what has moved in between frames.
'It turns out that even now, with what we have, we may be able, with certain prior assumptions, to look at rotational signatures [evidence of the accretion disk swirling around the event horizon],' Shep Doeleman, the Harvard University astronomer who lead the EHT project, told Live Science.
'And then, if we had many more stations, then we could really start to see in real time movies of the black hole accretion and rotation.
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE GALAXY MESSIER 87?
The elliptical galaxy Messier 87 (M87) is the home of several trillion stars, a supermassive black hole and a family of roughly 15,000 globular star clusters.
For comparison, our Milky Way galaxy contains only a few hundred billion stars and about 150 globular clusters.
The monstrous M87 is the dominant member of the neighbouring Virgo cluster of galaxies, which contains some 2,000 galaxies.
Discovered in 1781 by Charles Messier, this galaxy is located 54 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
It can be easily observed using a small telescope, with the most spectacular views available in May.
M87's most striking features are the blue jet near the centre and the myriad of star-like globular clusters scattered throughout the image.
The jet is a black-hole-powered stream of material that is being ejected from M87's core.
As gaseous material from the centre of the galaxy accretes onto the black hole, the energy released produces a stream of subatomic particles that are accelerated to velocities near the speed of light.
At the centre of the Virgo cluster, M87 may have accumulated some of its many globular clusters by gravitationally pulling them from nearby dwarf galaxies that seem to be devoid of such clusters today.
The team is also looking at Sagittarius A* (SagA*), the supermassive black hole at the centre of our own galaxy.
Scientists said at the unveiling of the M87 image last week that they plan to release the first image of that much-nearer object soon.
But EHT researchers say that this project will be more complicated because SagA* is about 1,000 times less massive than the M87 black hole.
This means that the image changes 1,000 times more quickly 'in minutes or hours'.
'You have to develop a fundamentally different algorithm, because it's as if you have the lens cap off on your camera and something's moving while you're taking an exposure,' Mr Douleman added.
The Galactic centre of the Milky Way is dominated by one resident, the supermassive black hole known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).
Supermassive black holes are incredibly dense areas in the centre of galaxies with masses that can be billions of times that of the sun.
Evidence of a black hole at the centre of our galaxy was first presented by physicist Karl Jansky in 1931, when he discovered radio waves coming from the region.
Pre-eminent yet invisible, Sgr A* has the mass equivalent to some four million suns.
At just 26,000 light years from Earth, Sgr A* is one of very few black holes in the universe where we can actually witness the flow of matter nearby.
Less than one per cent of the material initially within the black hole's gravitational influence reaches the event horizon, or point of no return, because much of it is ejected.
Consequently, the X-ray emission from material near Sgr A* is remarkably faint, like that of most of the giant black holes in galaxies in the nearby universe.
To make footage of it, the EHT would have to collect all the data necessary to produce an image of the black hole.
It would then also have to break up that data up into different chunks by time.
Then the team would compare the pieces of data to one another using sophisticated algorithms to see how the image changed.
This approach uses models of how the image would be expected to move, comparing those models to the actual data to see if it fits.
'You've got to be smart and figure out how data from this time slice is related to that time slice right after,' Mr Doeleman said.
Using this method the team can convert even very limited amounts of data from any given minute into complete pictures of SagA* in motion.
As a result, the team expects to make movies of the smaller black hole in a single night.
Using a 'virtual telescope' built eight radio observatories positioned at different points on the globe, the team behind the Event Horizon Telescope has spent the last few years probing Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, and another target in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.
The effort is essentially working to capture a silhouette of a black hole, also commonly referred to as the black hole's shadow.
This would be 'its dark shape on a bright background of light coming from the surrounding matter, deformed by a strong spacetime curvature,' the ETH team explains.

When it comes to public business, what is private and why?
Some Morinville residents are wondering about that in connection with Town Council's recent lengthy closed sessions – during which discussions are held without the press and public in attendance.
The issue has surfaced in a public forum and in conversations with Councillors particularly in regard to a January 8 closed session that resulted in a decision to waive an $8,397.32 residential tax bill.
In line with Alberta's Municipal Government Act (MGA), Council and Council committees must conduct their meetings in public. However, the meetings can be closed for discussions of matters that are excepted for disclosure under the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIP).
The 14 exceptions to disclosure provided for by the act include items that would be harmful to the business interests of a third party, to personal privacy, to individual or public safety, to economic or other interests of a local public body or to intergovernmental relations, as well as advice from officials and confidential evaluations.
The Mayor pointed out that all items that are discussed in closed sessions are clearly indicated on the agenda what section of FOIP is applicable.
According to Turner, on the agenda for each of the regular and committee of the whole meetings in January there were a number of weighty items that required Council discussion, and the nature of these items required that the discussions be held in a closed session.
"At the January 8 meeting, the upcoming Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework discussions were on the agenda. As these are negotiations between two municipalities, the discussions cannot be held in public for obvious reasons," he said.
Turner noted that the closed session at the Committee of the Whole was to accommodate a strategic planning session – the results of which will be debated and decided on in a regular council meeting — and the Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework was again discussed at the January 29 meeting.
Turner indicated that the FOIP act gives members of the press and general public the right to make an official request for any information from the Town of Morinville.
A person who wants to make a request can obtain a Request To Access form from the Town at https://www.morinville.ca/doc-library/forms/944-foip-request-to-access-information/file. The form must then be forwarded along with an initial $25 fee to Morinville FOIP coordinator Lois Rusk, who can be contacted at lrusk@morinville.ca. Further information is available at foip.alberta.ca.
This initiates a review of the information requested, to determine what can be provided under the act and what must remain private as outlined in the legislation.
That determination is also subject to review by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, which can order the release of information.

Meet Tom & Nicole
After years of running a successful farm market and pick-your-own operation, we wanted to expand our business. We decided to take an introductory baking course at George Brown College in Toronto and to install a full bakery in the market. The response from our customers was amazing. To build on that knowledge, we attended a one-week pastry course at Le Cordon Bleu Chef School in Ottawa in 2004. We journeyed to Paris to complete an intensive one-week course in Boulangerie (bread making) at the famous Le Cordon Bleu Chef School in 2005. We spent time visiting bakeries and markets all over Paris. One thing that really stood out for us was the quality of bread in France – a combination of artisan know-how and old world techniques.
We came back with a real appreciation for bread baked the old-fashioned way in wood-fired ovens. The following year we enrolled in a course that was being offered on building and using wood fired ovens at the San Francisco Baking Institute in California. We learned a lot from our instructors as well as the chefs and bakers taking the course with us. We have travelled to many locations to look at other wood fired oven bakeries including California, Kansas, Australia, Quebec, Vermont and Paris.
In 2005 we sold the original farm and began our quest for the perfect location for our new venture. We had a vision of what we wanted to achieve – an upscale location with a beautiful view that would be a true destination for food lovers. At the centre would be a wood-fired oven from which we'd produce artisanal pastries and bread. Apples would take centre stage.
We found the ideal location on Boston Mills Road in Caledon, a very picturesque area. The land had only been used to grow hay in the past and testing revealed that the soil would be perfect for apples. The proof of this is in our hundreds of wild apple trees, which are spread throughout the property.
Hard cider seemed like a perfect fit. We both enjoyed having a glass of cider and knew that there was a resurging demand for this time-honoured beverage. Many amateur cider makers would ask us for non-pasteurized sweet cider from which to make their own.
As with everything we do, we wanted to be the best at making cider, so needed to find someone to learn from. We flew to Somerset, England in March 2007 to take Cider Making Principle and Practice from Peter Mitchell, the world-renowned expert in cider making. Our classmates came from the U.K, Wales, Europe, India and the United States. In December of that same year, Peter offered a follow up course, Cider Making -Building Expertise at Cornell University in New York. This gave us the opportunity to meet with and learn from other producers living in a similar climate to ours.
In the spring of 2005, we started planting apple trees with an initial block of 2,500 apple trees comprised of 15 different varieties. In 2006, an additional block of 1,200 trees with 8 varieties was added. In 2007, 1,000 more trees were planted and in 2008. 250 more trees were added.
After over three years of trying to obtain permits and planning our market, we finally received permission to proceed from the Niagara Escarpment Commission, the Town of Caledon and Credit Valley Conservation Authority. Construction began at the end of October 2008 and we were finally ready to open in September of 2009.
Our dream is finally a reality!

Once you've studied a culture, you will need to know how to write an ethnography in order to make the clearest report about how that society functions. Before you write an ethnography, make sure that you have had enough time to talk to members of the culture.
Have the results of a questionnaire before you begin. Most anthropological studies require that you have asked members of the culture a series of questions to make sure that you understand their perspective on their culture and the reasons for their behaviors. The ideal situation is to have a leader of the society answer the questions, but in a more specific cultural study may require the questions to be answered by the specific people you are studying.
Write an introduction page that tells the reader exactly what you wanted to study and how you went about studying. The reader of your ethnography should get a sense of why you are qualified to write about the culture that will be described. talk about what questions you were attempting to answer and what others knew about this culture before your study.
Continue the ethnography by describing the way in which you gathered your information. Talk about specific conversations you had, the number of people you talked to and interacted with, etc.
Analyze the research you did and write about how the data you gathered can answer the questions you posed. You can use your experiences, your opinions, observations and the questionnaires to analyze what you learned during your study.
Conclude your ethnography with a suitable conclusion page that sums up what you did and what you learned. Restate your main points so that the reader is left with the impact of your work and what it will mean in the overall study of that culture.

Some of you may have seen the Boston Globe article last December about a Boston University voice teacher who had allegedly embellished career milestones on her personal bio, which had been posted on the university's website and published in university programs and brochures. For a look at last month's article, click here.
It can be tempting to write a bio that you think prospective students or even your colleagues want to read. Some voice teachers I met rank their past performing career as paramount in their bios, without much mention of their current career as teacher. For some of these teachers, it has been 15 or 20 years since their performing career, and you wonder where the information about their teaching is hidden. And, like Prof. Daniels and Boston University, you may take what little information there is on your career, and put it in an obscure if not totally truthful light.
As teachers who are always peddling their business to prospective students, it is important to write a bio that is honest, which fully discloses your qualifications as well as your accolades in the field of teaching. Here are a few tips on how to write a compelling, yet truthful biography.
1. Your professional bio should be a few paragraphs, and should not exceed one page. A short amount of information, left justified, is easier for the reader to digest and skim.
3. Not only do prospective students want to know what you do, but also whom you work with—because they might want to work with you! A professional bio should include a sentence or two about your business niche, as well as the types of students you may teach. Here you may also mention famous students you have worked with (over a longer period of time than one lesson), or the awards and honors your students have received recently.
4. Make sure you include a list of awards you have received. It is a good thing to advertize your talents and the organizations that recognize you for them, but again, keep this clear and honest.
5. Include names of organizations, clubs or associations to which you belong. These connections might lead to a connection with a potential student.
6. Include any professional certifications or designations you hold. Write out their names in full for clarification.
7. Have you written any articles, books, or blogs? Self-published or not, your works add to your level of professionalism and credibility.
8. Were you or your business featured on or mentioned in a newspaper article? Have you been a guest on any media show? Include this information, as this adds to your credibility and presence.
9. After you have written your bio, edit, edit, and edit again!
You may need to do a dozen revisions before you get it right. Eliminate extra words, use descriptive words, keep the sentences short yet varied in length, and have a variety of friends read it. Ask if the information is clear, if the bio was easy to digest, and if the information is not misleading. Make sure to revise your bio regularly to keep it up-to-date and refreshed.

2018年10月3日 — Comments are off for this post.
Editor Frank Scott (FS) from DesignPRWire has interviewed designer Ada Wong (AW) for A'Design Awards.
FS:Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
AW:Yes, I have dreamed to be a designer since the childhood. To me, design is a native mission, and I studied in the artistic middle school and university. Now, I am an independent designer for Internet-related projects.
FS:Can you tell us more about your company?
AW:Sure. I established Shanghai Xihe Visual Design Studio in 2014 that mainly focuses on Internet design, game design and brand image design. Internet design includes websites, APP and software systems; game design includes game concept design, scenes, characters and interface design. Corporate Identity includes LOGO design and VI design.
FS:What is "design" for you?
AW:When God gives a person talent, he wants to manifest the glory of his creation. I will not let him down, so design, to me, is to reveal the real me inside.
FS:What kinds of works do you like designing most?
AW:I prefer modest, simple and aesthetic works where viewers are able to see through the ideas of the designer.
FS:What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
AW:For example, I like the ancient arts in Chinese Song Dynasty best. The masterpieces in the 9th century (960-1279 A.D.), including painting, porcelain and literature, especially painting, were the greatest works in terms of art and design.
FS:What was the first thing you designed for a company?
AW:My first design for the company was concept design of one game, and the game design is also a part of my job.
FS:What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
AW:I like the representation forms of digital art better, and with CG technology, many novel ideas may come true and the design philosophy can be presented quickly. Paper and pen are also good tools. You can paint as you wish with no limitations, to present your creation at will.
FS:When do you feel the most creative?
AW:The night. Unlike the jobs in the daytime, many wonderful ideas were conceived during the nighttime when I am alone.
FS:Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
AW:I focus on the delicacy and aesthetics of design. The conception of "art" varies from person to person. But to me, "art" means simplicity by chopping off the complicated decorations, to keep the most important part. "Don't pile" is a rule in my designs, and many of effect stack is often weak performance of the design capacity.
FS:What kind of emotions do you feel when you design?
AW:I am very rational, so I will not fill my design with very strong emotions. Mostly, I do designing with a calm attitude.
FS:What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
AW:There will be a brief instant of feeling "relieved finally" and I would have some feelings of success. But it won't last long. The situation will pass by soon.
FS:What makes a design successful?
AW:Successful design should not be simply attributed to the designer, especially for commercial design, and it requires close cooperation and marketing efforts among various departments. Designer may be an indispensable part but not all of it.
FS:When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?
AW:If design is to be considered itself, I would like to measure from the perspective of design aesthetics. However, when the application of design in industrial products or commercial markets is involved, I think more of the actual response in market. Now, judgment should not be based on design itself, but more consideration should be given to the use, costs, market operation, environmental protection and possibility of recycling. It is a good design, when a certain balance is achieved among such factors.
FS:From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
AW:I believe that a designer should be "leader" other than "follower". It is the responsibility of designers to lead social aesthetic pursuits for real life. To do this, a designer must engage himself in the industry and tell people what good qualities are. He should neither follow all the time and abandon his standing before immediate interests, nor flatter by some pointless works.
FS:How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
AW:Design will take more social responsibilities in the future, because it can get over the barriers of words and culture, so that people can understand each other simply through design. Design links everyone. People can feel its unspoken beauty, which makes it a common understanding uniting the entire human society.
FS:When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?
AW:My last exhibition was at my university. If possible, I am always ready to join new design exhibitions.
FS:Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
AW:To be a designer, it is very important to collect works of other designers and to learn from them, however, the final works of a designer are the reflection of his personal experiences and, therefore, unique. Inspiration comes from personal experiences.
FS:How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
AW:My design style is generally concise and elegant. It is not what I deliberately intended but a reflection of my personality. I don't like intricate things but would like to stay alone. I don't appreciate noisy and complicated things, so my works tend to be somewhat aloof and will not be visually intense or bold.
FS:Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
AW:I am from China. China is a country with a long history and has very distinctive art presentation and styles in different dynasties. I like the arts in Song Dynasty best, especially those in the South Song Dynasty (1127-1279 A.D.). The culture has very profound influence on my philosophies of design, however, as a result of restrictions in commercial design, I cannot demonstrate such influence in the work.
In China, designers work very passively and have to cover up their ideas on many occasions and complete the design as intended by the customer. The biggest challenge is to convince the customer of a plan that is more professional. Because of immature commercial design market, customers do not have much trust on designers and are unwilling to know them better. Besides, they do not think much of the values and roles of professional designs.
FS:How do you work with companies?
AW:My job is to provide the customer's company with professional design services. Cooperation starts with consultation, and then signature of contracts including the master contract and ancillary contract. Then, the customer pays the initial design cost. We have complete confirmation procedures during the design process till the completion of the project and its delivery. Then, all documents are archived and delivered and bills of design fee are posted ... all of these are subject to a complete work system.
FS:What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?
AW:I suggest that companies should open their project resources to the design market, other than simply giving the access to resources to some particular persons. By doing this, both sides will have more choices and positive interaction and competition will be established. When selecting designers, in addition to costs, companies should also consider the experiences and background of the candidate designer, as well as real feedback from the market when the project is launched. A good design inevitably costs more, which should be a common sense among all companies.
FS:Can you talk a little about your design process?
AW:Sure. Firstly, I would try to understand exactly what the customer needs. This is very important. Secondly, I will do design planning for the project and draft a work plan and discuss with the customer on its implementation. The detailed designing process will start after agreements have been reached. In this process, I need to get feedback from customers from time to time and realign my design continuously before the final completion of the project.
FS:What are 5 of your favorite design items at home?
AW:My favorite? Maybe the next one!
FS:Can you describe a day in your life?
FS:Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
AW:You must love this job, or otherwise, you can hardly hold on to it and make something. Passion and perseverance are of the greatest importance.
FS:From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
AW:The best thing of being a designer is that you can do what you like. When a design is completed, you can feel the pride. For the bad side, because the design market is not yet mature, designers' initiatives and intents are very limited, and this adds to the difficulty in designing. You may feel some sense of failure in the actual job.
FS:What is your "golden rule" in design?
FS:What skills are most important for a designer?
AW:I believe what really matters to a designer is not his skill, but his understanding of personality and insight to commerce.
FS:Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
AW:I do most of my job on PHOTOSHOP and occasionally some other tools as assistance.
FS:Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
AW:I keep myself most active about 4 hours a day, when I can focus all my energy. I do my top priorities in this "prime time", such as conception. For another 4 hours, I stay relaxed and do something that is usually flexible, such as replying e-mails to customers. After work, I get myself totally free from the job stuff.
FS:How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
AW:Since design is interdisciplinary, the time cost varies from project to project, but I will do my best to have most (not all of them) projects done in 4 weeks.
FS:What is the most frequently asked question to you, as a designer?
FS:What was your most important job experience?
AW:I have been working on this for a long time and every project mattered to me.
FS:Who are some of your clients?
AW:Most of my customers are small and medium-sized IT companies or starters or game developers.
FS:What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
AW:I always hope to join the early conceptual design for videos, especially film art design, and I am looking forward to such opportunities.
FS:What are your future plans? What is next for you?
AW:My future plan is to build my own customer channel and create personal design brand. I think, in future commercial design, the brand of a designer is a key concern for customers. I am not going to attract them by preferential prices, but to enhance competitiveness by increasing the personal influence.
FS:Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
AW:I am an independent designer and working for my own career.
FS:Do you have any works-in-progress being designed that you would like to talk about?
AW:There is no particular project in progress for the time being. If I have, I am happy to share.
FS:How can people contact you?
Or you can write me an e-mail at master@xh-studios.com, which is the way I prefer.
FS:Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?
AW:No, you have asked them all.

The Early Life of Thomas Hardy. Unfortunately, to convince the reader of the historicity of the story he often indulged in cumbersome explanations regarding provenance and lengthy descriptions designed to provide verisimilitude. Founded by James Lackington in , the architecturally stunning store had a frontage of feet and the premise was so large that it was reported a coach and six would be able to drive around the huge circular counter in the centre of the shop. The common plots, the archetypical characters, the times and places the stories take place in—these are all informed by the technologies of both the real Victorian era and the imagined Victorian era of our steampunk dreams. Consider the intersection between the fallen nobility and the aspiring commoner, a dynamic that Scott Westerfeld leverages in his novel Leviathan. Airships float above the earth, detached from mundane terrestrial concerns, providing the escape of travel with the romance of a bygone era. The Short Story in English.

Western & Southern Open Hosts Battle for No. 1 Ranking on both WTA and ATP World Tour
Five Women Have Opportunity To Reach WTA Top Spot;
Nadal or Federer Will Regain ATP World Tour No. 1 Ranking
CINCINNATI (August 13, 2017) — Five women have a chance to hold the WTA's No. 1 ranking after this week's Western & Southern Open, while either Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer will return to No. 1 on the ATP World Tour when the tournament concludes at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.
The results from the upcoming week will be reflected when the tours release their first post-tournament rankings on Monday, Aug. 21.
Western & Southern Open defending champion Karolina Pliskova currently holds the WTA No. 1 ranking. However, the 900 points from her 2016 title will come off her ranking on August 21, which gives four players an opportunity to pass her based on her result this week.
Here are the five players who could be No. 1 at the end of the tournament:
Pliskova will enter the week with, in essence, a 240 point lead in the rankings when you factor in the 900 points that will come off her ranking next week. She first became No. 1 on July 17
No. 2 Simona Halep is looking to be ranked No. 1 for the first time
No. 3 Angelique Kerber is looking to get back to No. 1, having lost that ranking following Wimbledon after 34 weeks in the top spot
No. 4 Elina Svitolina is looking to reach No. 1 for the first time
No. 5 Caroline Wozniacki has been ranked No. 1 for 67 weeks in her career. She is looking to return to the top spot for the first time since Jan. 29, 2012
Pliskova can retain No. 1 in the following scenarios:
Winning the title
Reaching the semifinals as long as Halep does not win title
Reaching the quarterfinals as long as Halep does not reach final or Svitolina does not win title
Reaching the third round as long as Halep does not reach semifinal or Svitolina does not win title
With a loss in her first match as long as Halep does not reach semifinal, Svitolina does not reach final and neither Kerber nor Wozniacki win title
Halep can become No. 1 for the first time in the following scenarios:
Reaching the final as long as Pliskova does not reach semifinals
Reaching the semifinals as long as Pliskova does not reach semifinals and Svitolina does not win title
Svitolina can become No. 1 for the first time in the following scenarios:
Winning the title as long as Pliskova does not reach semifinals
Reaching the final as long as Pliskova loses her first match, Halep does not reach semifinals and Wozniacki does not win title
Kerber can regain No. 1 only by winning the title as long as Pliskova loses her first match and Halep does not reach semifinals.
Wozniacki can regain No. 1 only by winning the title as long as Pliskova loses her first match and Halep does not reach semifinals.
ATP World Tour
Andy Murray's withdrawal from the Western & Southern Open will see him lose the No. 1 ranking for the first time since Nov. 7, 2016, ending a run of 41 weeks in the top spot. Nadal, who has spent 141 weeks at the top of the rankings, is looking to return to No. 1 for the first time since July 6, 2014. Federer, who has spent 302 weeks at No. 1, is looking to return to that position for the first time since Nov. 4, 2012.
Should Nadal and Federer, the top two seeds, advance all the way, their meeting in the Aug. 20 final would not only determine the Western & Southern Open champion but also the ATP World Tour No. 1 ranking.
Nadal holds a 410 point lead over Federer heading into the tournament, though Nadal has 90 points to defend from the 2016 tournament. Federer would need to at least reach the semifinals to have a chance to overtake Nadal in the rankings.
Nadal would return to the No. 1 ranking in the following scenarios:
Reaching the final as long as Federer does not win title
Reaching the semifinals as long as Federer does not win title
Reaching the quarterfinals as long as Federer does not reach final
Reaching the third round as long as Federer does not reach final
With loss in first match as long as Federer does not reach semifinals
Federer would return to the No. 1 ranking in the following scenarios:
Reaching the final as long as Nadal does not reach semifinals
Reaching the semifinals as long as Nadal does not win a match

Ahuja, S., Dogra, D., Stainier, D.Y., Reischauer, S. (2016) Id4 functions downstream of Bmp signaling to restrict TCF function in endocardial cells during atrioventricular valve development. Developmental Biology. 412(1):71-82.
The atrioventricular canal (AVC) connects the atrial and ventricular chambers of the heart and its formation is critical for the development of the cardiac valves, chamber septation and formation of the cardiac conduction system. Consequently, problems in AVC formation can lead to congenital defects ranging from cardiac arrhythmia to incomplete cardiac septation. While our knowledge about early heart tube formation is relatively comprehensive, much remains to be investigated about the genes that regulate AVC formation. Here we identify a new role for the basic helix-loop-helix factor Id4 in zebrafish AVC valve development and function. id4 is first expressed in the AVC endocardium and later becomes more highly expressed in the atrial chamber. TALEN induced inactivation of id4 causes retrograde blood flow at the AV canal under heat induced stress conditions, indicating defects in AV valve function. At the molecular level, we found that id4 inactivation causes misexpression of several genes important for AVC and AV valve formation including bmp4 and spp1. We further show that id4 appears to control the number of endocardial cells that contribute to the AV valves by regulating Wnt signaling in the developing AVC endocardium.
