ALICE Promotes Megan Lach to Sales Director for the Midwest
ALICE, the hospitality industry's leading operations technology, promotes Megan Lach to Sales Director for the Midwest region. ALICE is the industry leader in hospitality operations technology. Over two thousand hotels around the world have chosen ALICE to streamline operations and communication with a single platform.
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, Megan holds a degree in Marketing. She started her career in banking and later moved to New York. After returning to Wisconsin, Megan decided to combine her work experience with her passion for wine and started a new role as a Sales and Catering Manager at a local boutique hotel. She joined ALICE in February 2018 as Sales Development Team Lead, and over the course of the following year has successfully built out ALICE's sales development and lead generation team.
"Megan is a treasure to add to our team in the Midwest," says Wendy Zapach, Vice President of Sales for North America. "Her experience in local independents uniquely connects her to the problems they need to solve. Megan's experience will hopefully allow her to be an immediate asset for Midwest hoteliers who want to learn more about service excellence and how to future proof their operations."
Succeeding Leigh Sansone, now Director of Enterprise Solutions, Megan will continue to drive ALICE's growth in the Midwest market. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Megan has an in-depth knowledge of the local region and independent properties, which she will bring to her new position. "The region is known for its friendly, outgoing, and hospitable people," says Megan. "There are so many iconic properties that are well known, but no one realizes that they're in the Midwest!"
Outside of work, Megan enjoys spending her time in the great Wisconsin outdoors - skiing in the winter and boating in the summer. Continuing her love for wine, she is also studying to become a Level 1 sommelier.

Q: Adding HTML to an SVG and flipping it in IE 10+ I am looking at various ways to animate a graphic I have in SVG but I need things to work also in IE 10+.
I have an SVG polygon (or path) which is a hexagon and I want to be able to click on it and flip it over (on the x-axis where 0,0 is the center of the hexagon) and then scale that flipped hexagon to 2x its size. I then want to add HTML to it.
To recap:

*

*Create a polygon/hexagon (did this).

*Click on polygon to trigger an event.

*Flip the polygon over on x-axis.

*Scale flipped polygon to 2x and add HTML to it.

Is this indeed possible considering I need it to work in IE 10 or better?

Chips, beer and chocolates... surely there is more to Belgium than that? Democracy, prosperity, solidarity, pluralism, migration, languages and Europe: these are the themes used by the BELvue Museum to help you to discover Belgium. Each one is developed through present-day testimonials and then traced right through history. This is a modern, original way of gaining a fuller understanding of modern-day Belgium.
Have a look at the gallery too: there are more than 200 objects to view, each one forming a tangible memory of Belgium. Here are just a few examples: a lithograph by Magritte, a motorcycle, crystal vases by Val Saint-Lambert, and a football signed by the Red Devils. The very essence of Belgian-ness!


Fingerprints record store is a local spot to buy and listen to awesome tunes.
The diversions team has compiled some of its favorite ways of staying cool under pressure, all the while enjoying what the City of Long Beach has to offer.
There's nothing like holding hands and locking eyes with a complete stranger while loud music plays in the background. You have to press your bodies together, following your partner's subtle signals, letting the rhythm pulse through your bodies.
Surrendering to music relieves stress like no other. There are venues all over Long Beach that offer dance classes and social dance for cheap, like Breezy Knees and The Atomic Ballroom for swing, PCH club and Café Sevilla for salsa. Most of these places have cover charges at less than $20, and instead of getting a sweaty, overcrowded clubbing environment, you get an instructional class or two followed by an opportunity to social dance with your new acquaintances.
On campus there are noncompetitive dance clubs for styles from all over the world, like Filipino, African, Latin, Bollywood, Belly and Social for a little bit of everything. Check out Week of Welcome during the second week of the semester to become acquainted with more than 350 clubs and organizations that can take your mind off stuffy classrooms and piles of homework, or enroll in a one or two-unit dance class and dance for your grade.
After a night out, it is easy to oversleep and miss dining hall breakfast, or 5 a.m. may come before sleep does. Never fear, there's a better option.
Fantastic Café — located within walking distance on Studebaker Boulevard and Anaheim Road and open 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. — is a much better alternative when it comes to curing that hangover. The reasonably priced diner offers a wide variety of breakfast foods: some favorable mentions include an assortment of breakfast burritos, chicken fried steak and eggs, pancake dishes and more.
The lunch menu ranges from double cheeseburger combos to gyro sandwiches, to gigantic taco salads encased in a fresh tortilla-chip bowl. Add a creamy chocolate, vanilla or strawberry milkshake to top off that order, and don't forget to grab a basket of complimentary chips and salsa while you wait for your food.
Depending on the environment and level of difficulty, yoga can be found all throughout Long Beach. There are studios throughout the city, offering classes of all types: from challenging Hatha Yoga to simple stretching and breathing exercises, along with healing and meditation classes and partner yoga.
If you'd rather enjoy nature and save money, free yoga sessions are held at various locations in Long Beach throughout the week. In Belmont Shore, sessions are held at Mother's Beach and advertised through Long Beach Meetup, and every day there's free yoga on the bluffs off of Ocean Boulevard and Junipero Avenue led by a rotating yoga enthusiast or instructor from a local studio.
You can even throw an extra unit onto your schedule and take a yoga course in the Kinesiology department once a week.
It's incredible how an hour of closing your eyes, moving slowly through poses and escaping inside the mind can clarify the physical world outside. When you're done, you'll want to hug your neighbor, then get a kickstart on your homework.
Let's face it, college can be stressful. With new people and a new city, there's a lot to learn in these first few weeks. Perhaps the best place to check out in Long Beach is Fingerprints record store, located in the eclectic East Village Arts District at 420 E. Fourth Street, where you can shop away your stress and jam to awesome music.
Fingerprints offers everything in terms of music: a large selection of vinyl records, CDs and cassettes — including some rare bootlegs — in a plethora of genres.
Fingerprints also plays host to many in-store performances throughout the year, providing an intimate venue where well-known artists like Jimmy Eat World and Best Coast as well as today's up-and-comers perform. Admission varies depending on the performer, and sometimes you have to line up early to snag a spot.
The store doesn't only hold in-store concerts, but it is also great for purchasing tickets to concerts, music festivals and local events within the area, such as the annual Long Beach Zombie Walk.
It's not college without a study night at a Long Beach coffee shop, and it's hardly a Long Beach coffee shop without regular open-mic nights and guest performances.
Escape from the campus library or your dorm room and study at one of the aesthetically pleasing, deliciously smelling cafés just a short drive away from campus.
These spots are a great way to enjoy and discover diverse sounds from Long Beach's array of talented artists. Considering that Long Beach is home to Sublime and the Cold War Kids, these open-mic nights are worth checking out.
The Library Coffee House on Broadway Avenue is a homey coffee shop with dollar drip coffee, comfy chairs and couches and community bookshelves. A piano is nestled in the corner where guest performers often play background music, sometimes accompanied by percussionists or guitarists.
Portfolio Coffeehouse is an artsy spot on Fourth Street, which offers healthy meals and a colorful variety of beverages, including hemp milk, and many vegan options along with open-mic nights every Wednesday from 7:30 to 10 p.m.
Viento y Agua Coffeehouse is a local favorite with artwork covering the walls and a Latino-inspired menu and aura. Belly dancers, actors and local bands are invited to perform in addition to Thursday's regular open-mic night. Sip on a Mexican Mocha while studying or enjoying the show, and you'll surely stay wired into the morning.
If you live in Beachside College, there's no reason not to check out the family-run restaurant and venue.
Located on Pacific Coast Highway, the restaurant offers tasty Italian cuisine, occasional quiz nights and live music. While local musicians and bands usually perform, don't be surprised to find the occasional well-known rock stars performing to an intimate crowd, such as Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

As a Recruitment Consultant I hear the words "Skills shortage" banded about every day on every imaginable platform. It occurs to me that what I don't hear a great deal about is why? This is why I thought I would try and shed some light on the causes that I believe have created the ever increasing skills gap within the construction industry.
Now I know allot of you will be thinking that it's obviously the fact we as a country are currently recovering from a major recession... And you would be correct... There were a lot of things that we as an industry failed on during the recession to ready ourselves for the inevitable recovery... After all as al lot of you old-school types will remember there were huge skills shortage way before the recession hit back in 2008.
I believe that the main thing at the heart of this shortage is the ever changing entry level requirements to work out on site. These changes are nearly always due to improving health and safety out on site. Don't get me wrong I'm a huge advocate of ensuring workers aren't a liability to themselves and everyone else working around them, but what I'm not an advocate of is that fact these changes are becoming a big money making business for the likes of CITB, Training providers and even the government in some cases. Some of you will know only too well how much it costs to put yourself through a CPCS course to allow you to operate plant out on site, those of you who don't the average price for digger ticket at the moment is around £2000 and a crane ticket is about £3000. To some this may not seem like a great deal of money for a career, but for these types of people who live week by week saving £2000 - £3000 may not be a viable option.
The other adverse effect that health and safety has on impacting the skills shortage is the fact that due to the strict restrictions on site even once they have their CPCS Trained operator card (Red Card) finding people who are willing/can take on less experienced operators is proving more and more difficult. What the industry seems to forget is that CPCS Competent Operator's (Blue card) who are looking for work are extremely rare. Putting aside the initial cost of upgrading the card the reasons for this is people either let their CPCS tickets expire during the recession because the work wasn't there so they couldn't justify the cost of renewal or that they never got the chance to get the hours logged. This is where the industry really tripped up in the recession because we chose to increase training costs and employ only experienced operators during the dark 7 or so years following 2008; After all they were 100 a penny back then!
I believe that as an industry we will never be able to close this skill's gap unless we address these issues. We need to act and we need to act fast before it starts causing even more issues within the industry. We need to reduce training costs, we need to find ways to entice and support people who are new to the industry and we need to give the next generation of construction workers the best possible chance of upskilling and cementing their career in construction. I fear that if we don't the effects of this skills shortage will almost certainly be a potential cause and possible major factor of the inevitable slowdown of growth.


Definition - What does Circuit-Level Gateway mean?
A circuit-level gateway is a firewall that provides User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection security, and works between an Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network model's transport and application layers such as the session layer. Unlike application gateways, circuit-level gateways monitor TCP data packet handshaking and session fulfillment of firewall rules and policies.
A proxy server is a security barrier between internal and external computers, while a circuit-level gateway is a virtual circuit between the proxy server and internal client.
For example, when a user Web page access request passes through the circuit gateway, basic internal user information, such as IP address, is exchanged for proper feedback. Then, the proxy server forwards the request to the Web server. Upon receiving the request, the external server sees the proxy server's IP address but does not receive any internal user information. The Web or real server sends the proxy server a proper response, which is forwarded to the client or end user via the circuit-level gateway.

Ryan M Sutton - Finally Some Good SNOW!
Home Uncategorized Finally Some Good SNOW!
Published on January 23, 2012,	by RyanMSutton in Uncategorized.
We finally had some good snow move in, in the last 3 days around 12″ fell making for some good skiing. I logged today with the Skiing GPS Logger in it brand new case and got a TON of data. In previous runs the datalogger would periodicity reset, I'm guessing due to a short in its old case or need to be manually reset for what ever reason. After moving to this new case, it did not need to be reset all day! Also all of the data was written in a single file indicating that it did not reset it self all day.
I managed to cover a good part of the mountain today. The image above was generated by Merkaartor. There are a couple bugs in my software right now where it doesn't close some tags, but the idea is that the files generated should be able to be opened directly by anything that can read GPX format, so I have some things to look at there. After running a quick sed script to close the tags the data imported nicely. I believe this is the first run I have done since upping the sampling rate to 5hz and it makes a huge difference.
Snapshot of track #2. Upper right is a mogul run.
If you look at the image above, the upper right trail was a mogul run, while I didn't stay in a perfect line the side to side isn't more then a few yards, other then that the trail is pretty strait. The accelerometer goes crazy when going over the bumps ( and when falling down onto them ) but I haven't come up with a good way to visualize that yet, but now I have 52,341 good data points to play with so I should be able to come up with something.

Berlin Wall pieces stand as warning against…
Berlin Wall pieces stand as warning against division
The longest segment of the Berlin Wall still standing is now an open-air series of murals called East Side Gallery. Our columnist just returned from vacation in Berlin.
By David Allen | dallen@scng.com | Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
PUBLISHED: August 18, 2017 at 12:11 am | UPDATED: August 23, 2017 at 5:48 pm
In November the Berlin Wall will have been down for 28 years. This is as long as the period, 1961 to 1989, that it was up.
Ponder that. Something that once seemed permanent was instead a blip — a very long blip, granted, and a deadly one — in the course of history.
Did you know the wall came down in part due to a press conference? Travel restrictions from communist East Germany were going to be eased after mass protests. When would this new policy take effect? The notes handed to the press secretary didn't specify, so he guessed and said, "immediately, without delay."
Rarely has winging it in front of reporters led to so much chaos. (For a more contemporary example, see Tuesday.)
I vacationed in Berlin earlier this month, and the story of the wall kept intruding. Little of the wall remains, as once it opened on Nov. 9, 1989, people on both sides understandably began to hammer it apart, and many slabs were sold by the government.
But a few pieces and short segments were left as reminders. The longest, nearly a mile, has been turned into a series of murals known as the East Side Gallery.
I saw that, and also visited the former Checkpoint Charlie, where a bit of wall and the border crossing station remain as tourist attractions. Displays delve into the story of the wall's rapid construction in 1961, the political effects, family separations and East Germans' attempts to escape — some of them ingenious, few of them successful and many of them fatal.
To an outsider, the wall was fascinating. An entire city, cleaved cleanly by block walls, barbed wire and guards, designed by a government determined to keep its own citizens prisoners. Its audacity is chilling.
What we call the Berlin Wall, by the way, was termed by the East German government the "anti-fascist protection rampart," thus equating West Germany and NATO with fascists. False equivalencies from heads of state are nothing new, it seems.
But American presidents showed moral leadership in the wall era. Two visited West Berlin, which was a protected but anxious enclave inside East Germany. In 1963, John Kennedy rallied the free world, and an audience of 450,000, with his expression of solidarity, "Ich bin ein Berliner."
My German is rusty, but I believe this translates as "You had a group on one side that was bad and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent."
Also, it's impossible to forget the stirring moment in 1987 when Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate and declared in ringing tones, "There is blame on both sides."
Sorry, I might have that one wrong too.
After Germany's postwar division, life on the East German side was no bed of roses. Berlin's DDR Museum pays sad but cheeky tribute to the days when store shelves were stocked with flawed East German products, your neighbor might be informing on you and your wallpaper would be hideous.
One exhibit hit home for me as a tourist: Many East Germans had never seen Munich and Frankfurt, on the other side of the dividing line, due to travel restrictions, and for the same reason "would-be world travelers" weren't allowed to go much farther than Poland or Hungary.
By contrast, this American had traveled 6,023 miles to get to Berlin and roam freely.
I was visiting a journalist pal, Naomi Kresge, whose byline some longtime readers may recall from the Bulletin and Claremont Courier of the early 2000s. A Berlin resident for eight years, she and her boyfriend Philip, a Hamburg native, showed me around and filled me in.
They live in Prenzlauer Berg, a gentrifying neighborhood in the former East Berlin. After the Wall fell, artists and young urbanists flocked to the suddenly depopulated East for cheap or no rent and new frontiers, and development followed.
As we strolled, Naomi pointed out the vacant lots every block or two. Buildings on those plots had been demolished by bombs in World War II and were never replaced. Now green space, they also represent visible scars from the war seven decades ago.
Speaking of the war, a sign marks the spot of Hitler's bunker, which, rather hilariously, has been filled with dirt and lies under a parking lot.
There are no statues of Nazis. Hitler and his (cough) confederates are in the history books if one wants to read about them, and thus hardly erased or forgotten, but they're not venerated in public squares. Instead, their victims are.
I'll tell you more about my travels in an upcoming column or two. For now, let's return to the wall.
We rode the S-bahn subway and disembarked at Nordbanhof, during the Cold War a ghost station. Trains blew through without stopping and exits were bricked off to prevent anyone from making, shall we say, an unscheduled transfer to another form of government. Informational displays told the story.
The most poignant image was a photo shot in the few days of August 1961 where barbed wire at ground level preceded the Wall's construction. Two women, one on each side of the wire, held infants, who reached across and touched hands.
Passing into the open air through an exit that had once been closed, we crossed to a park that serves as a memorial to the wall.
This was the former no-man's-land between the inner and outer walls, both still standing in part. Between them used to be guard towers, barbed wire, lights and sand to hinder escapees.
"This was the death strip," Naomi said.
Now it was a gentle park, with grass, walking paths and somber displays. Incongruously, it was full of life. People strolled, lay, played, held hands and pushed strollers. Some read about escape attempts and shootings and examined remnants of the security system, once fearsome, but now curiosities of history.
Things do change — even the Berlin Wall. In weeks like this, in times like these, perhaps that lesson provides a small measure of comfort.

In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth is Revolutionary.
Reader Rant
On broken truces, proportionality, and embargoes
I've read a number of posts on this site that say it wasn't Hamas that "really" broke the truce, it was broken by an Israeli response into Gaza on Nov 5th, 2008. The reality is that Hamas had already broken the truce several times before it was a week old: "Gaza Rockets Again Break Hamas Truce Pledge By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press | June 26, 2008 JERUSALEM � Gaza militants fired two rockets into southern Israel today, further straining a shaky, week-old truce as Israel kept vital Gaza border crossings closed in response.
I've read a number of posts on this site that say it wasn't Hamas that "really" broke the truce, it was broken by an Israeli response into Gaza on Nov 5th, 2008.
The reality is that Hamas had already broken the truce several times before it was a week old:
"Gaza Rockets Again Break Hamas Truce Pledge
By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press | June 26, 2008
JERUSALEM � Gaza militants fired two rockets into southern Israel today, further straining a shaky, week-old truce as Israel kept vital Gaza border crossings closed in response.
The rocket attack, the second since the cease-fire took effect, led to a call for retaliation by Israel's Foreign Minister while Palestinian Arabs charged that the continued closure of crossings violated terms of the cease-fire.
Despite the breach, Israel dispatched an envoy to Egypt in hopes of negotiating a prisoner swap with Gaza's ruling Islamic Hamas."
http://www.nysun.com/foreign/gaza-rockets-again-break-hamas-truce-pledge/80769/
Hamas never stopped sending rockets into Israel (a total of over 6400 over the last 8 years), but they calculated they could keep firing rockets without invoking an Israeli response (and in fact, Israel did not respond to every rocket – see above).
So now we come to "proportionality" – Hamas was comfortable with the level of Israeli responses, at least until Nov 5th. So a "proportional" response is by the Hamas definition a response not substantial enough to get them to change their behavior.
Two thirds of the children of the Israeli city of Sderot suffer from post traumatic stress syndrome. Now perhaps many here may not consider that serious, but no country in the world would find that acceptable. We were attacked ONCE, and our response was to go half way around the world, drop more bombs than we did in Vietnam, enough to turn over every square inch of Afghanistan several times. Eight years later, no further attacks, and we are still in Afghanistan. Why? Supposedly somebody in Afghanistan poses some sort of theoretical risk to our safety.
Meanwhile, Hamas poses far more than a theoretical threat. Consider the teachings of the Hamas leader Rayan who was killed by an Israeli air assault this week:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizar_Rayan
Rayan was fundamentally opposed to the state of Israel.[9] He proclaimed, "True Islam would ever allow a Jewish state to survive in the Muslim Middle East. Israel is an impossibility. It is an offense against God."[17]
Rayan believed that Jews are a "cursed people" and some were transformed into pigs and apes by Allah.[17] He also believed that Jews must pay for murdering prophets of Islam and "closing [their] your ears to the Messenger of Allah."[17]
I listened to an interview with a journalist who had recently interviewed Rayan. The journalist asked Rayan if a 50 year hudna (truce) with Israel was a possibility.
Ryan replied that the purpose of a hudna was "preparation for the final battle" (those who believe a truce with Hamas in the Western sense is possible, are you paying attention?). "We have no need for a 50 year hudna. Israel will be destroyed long before that."
So how does Israel stop the rockets? Any effective response must be forceful enough to make the consequences of continued rocket attacks unacceptable. That is not an Israeli choice, that is the only choice that Hamas has given Israel. All the "proportional" responses to date have only encouraged and emboldened Hamas. I don't see how a rational person could come to a different conclusion.
After the 2006 Lebanese War, Nasrallah gave an interview to Al Jazeera in which he stated that had he known the extent of the Israeli response, he would not have kidnapped the Israeli soldiers (personally, I feel Israel made a terrible mistake exchanging the murdered Kuntar for the bodies of the kidnapped soldiers – why would Hezbollah ever return a live hostage in the future if dead hostages are acceptable? – but that's another story).
So despite the general belief that the 2006 Lebanese War was a failure for Israel, there have been no attacks from Hezbollah since. If the Gaza conflict concludes with no response from Hezbollah, I may no longer be the only one who views that conflict as at least a break even for Israel.
Which brings us to the issue of the Israeli closure of Gaza borders. I was watching Ben Wedeman on CNN. Wedeman is nominally the CNN Bureau Chief in Jerusalem. He should really be called Hamas' CNN spokesman.
Wedeman unintentionally gave a convincing explanation of why Israel was controlling access into and out of Gaza. When asked whether Hamas might be successful militarily due to what it had learned from Hezbollah, he responded that Hamas was adversely affected because unlike Hezbollah, which was able to more easily bring in Iranian weapons through Syria, Israel had been more successful in limiting Hamas' access to weapons.
Thank you, Mr. Wedeman, for that explanation. No one in an official capacity in Israel has said it as clearly and simply as that.
That's not to say that Hamas has been completely unsuccessful smuggling in weapons. The longer range rockets Hamas has been firing were all smuggled in. Imagine, no problem smuggling in all those rockets, smuggling in tons and tons of explosives, but somehow they never get around to smuggling in food and medical supplies. Everyone has their priorities, of course.
Hamas and the PA before them had the opportunity to use the Arab and other foreign aid coming into Gaza to improve the lives of the Gazans. But no, war against Israel is a far higher priority. Doesn't that bother any of the bleeding hearts who blame Israel for the plight of the Palestinians?
So to sum up:
1) Hamas, the elected government of Gaza, is completely dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel. They commit their scarce resources to the goal, over feeding and caring for the Gazan population. How do you negotiate with an enemy that doesn't recognize your existence, and is commited to murdering every last one of your inhabitants? (see:
http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/72
2) Israel's "proportional response" have only encouraged and emboldened Hamas.
3) In military terms, a response is "proportional" if it is of a scale required to achieve the legitimate military goal. It doesn't mean that the number of casualties is equal. By this definition, the Israeli response IS proportional, as nothing less will stop the rocket fire. Even now, despite the obvious futility, Hamas CONTINUES to fire rockets at Israel.
4) The purpose of the Israeli embargo is to prevent, as best possible, weapons from being smuggled in.
If I'm missing something, let me know.

So many Scotches and so little time.
We find Scotch to be something special. From its smooth blended malts, exquisite single malts, to its cask strength beasts, it is a world of tingling sensations that can take an eternity to explore. So how to begin with this "gruesome" task of finding your own little spot under the Scotch sun?! We truly believe that tasting is the only path to redemption… There is no right or wrong here, some prefer the peat and some prefer their tipple to be quite milder. In the end it is all about, well you've guessed it by now, tasting! The more you taste the more will you know about Scotch, and well, yourself… after all "Tasting is Believing!"
So stop wondering what makes a Scotch a Scotch, how a blend can become so perfectly balanced, and what exactly is a single malt. We'll give you all the hints and present you a great dram from each category. Let's start… Single malt Whisky is made in a single distillery from a mash that uses only one particular malted barley, and well, a blended Scotch is a mix of malt and grain Whiskies, sourced from several different distilleries. There you go first box, checked.
To get the best possible look into the realm of Scotch, we made ourselves unavailable to the world, and experimented for days in our lab-o-ratory to come out with this killer combination of drams, and no hangover.
Here they are, the 3 representatives of Scottish delight: a blended malt, a single malt and a cask strength. A selection that will give you the first glimpse into exploration of the Flavors of Scotch.
Tasting is Believing!
SmartAss Corner
1) Simplified, Whisky is basically a Beer without the hops, that has been distilled two or three times.
2) There are four categories of Scotch: single malt, blended malt (formerly called vatted malt), blended, and single grain.
3) Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA they spell it Whiskey.
4) The "Angels' share" or "Angels' tax" refers to the 4% of Whiskey that evaporates from the barrels every year.
5) There's a common misconception that because a certain Whisky is labeled "single malt," it must be the product of just a single batch or barrel of Whisky. This is incorrect. Most single malts are a blend, in the sense that they're a mixture of Whiskies from one distillery, and from malted barley alone.
6) Scotch Whisky is never aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation, and often followed up by a secondary aging process and flavor finishing in various Wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
7) Cask strength Scotches are an intergalactic force to be reckoned with. While the typical Whisky is diluted with water to about 40% ABV, these brawny spirits are entitled to flex a few muscles, clocking in a respectable 50-75% ABV. Needless to say, these are the guys you want standing behind you during a fight.
8) 90% of all the Scotch Whiskies sold are blends.

We have been thinking about winter and have been creating fantastic winter pictures. The children mixed their colours really well and created very atmospheric pictures. Nancy, Sam Barton and Casey have got the head teacher award this week for their careful work and excellent listening skills. They worked really well on their pictures and have captured the mood perfectly. Well done you three!


Hot springs have attracted visitors for thousands of years for healing and relaxation. The soothing, restorative waters rejuvenate and restore our weary, overtaxed bodies. Because hot water dissolves minerals, they hold tremendous therapeutic value. Minerals such as calcium, zinc, lithium, and even radium are present in small enough doses to render their powers effective for relieving muscle and nerve related ailments. Bathing in a hot spring is invigorating, refreshing, and the ultimate in relaxation even if a person has no health-related issues.
Hot springs can cure what ails you, but not all are the same. Some hot springs are suitable for bathing while others can blister the skin, or in extreme cases, boil meat clean off the bones. As a word of caution, just because a particular spring is at a comfortable temperature to doesn't necessarily mean it's safe. Amoeba and other bacteria thrive in hot untreated water so, if not maintained and properly treated, it may be dangerous to humans.
But not to worry – there are many wonderful, safe, and beneficial hot springs located around the world. It should be fairly easy to find one near you. If you have never enjoyed the euphoric experience of soaking in naturally heated mineral enhanced waters you are doing yourself a huge disservice, but it's never too late to correct this huge oversight. Here's where some of the world's best hot springs can be found.
With a consistent temperature of 98.6 degrees, Banjar Hot Springs is pure bliss. It's a wonder to behold with water pouring from the mouths of eight mythical dragon-like creatures into a giant pool of mineral-saturated water.
The water gives off a yellowish/red tint but this is only due to its high sulfur content. The waters are known to help with skin conditions and rheumatic ailments, but even those not bothered by such unfortunate problems claim the real magic is in the waters total relaxation ability.
The springs are surrounded by lush tropical gardens and the restaurant provides a superior panoramic view of the premises. T-shirts, key chains, and assorted overpriced souvenirs are for sale in the gift shop.
Rated one of the very best hot springs in the world, if there is any way to swing it you should fly to Japan. Even if you couldn't care less about the springs miraculously healing abilities, you should at least experience the surreal fairytale-like setting.
Situated in the mountains on the banks of a stream, rising steam against a backdrop of snow drifts and evergreens presents a picture worthy of an artists canvass. Or, perhaps you would rather enjoy the changing colors of Fall. Or the newness of Spring blooms. If a person cannot 100% relax when immersed in the soothing waters of Takaragawa Onsen Hot Springs, they should consider medication.
The waters are known to help with nervous disorders, skin irritation, bad circulation, sore muscles and joints, and just about anything else that might be ailing someone. Lodging is available and the rooms are spectacular. The onsite restaurant serves cuisine to die for which includes wild mountain mushrooms and freshwater fish among other delectables. Most of the food is sourced locally.
Located in Tuscany, Cacate del Mulino only adds to the beauty of the region with its naturally carved stone wells. The steamy 98.6-degree water overflows and cascades down levels of rocks creating small waterfalls as it collects in pools suitable for bathing.
Rich is sulfur, the waters mineral properties are good for just about anything. The Terme di Saturnia spa complex, which is world-famous, is also located in Tuscany, but Cascate del Mulino is much more secluded and cannot be outdone in beauty. It's drop-dead gorgeous.
Imagine soaking in hot mineral enriched water while everything around you is frozen solid. The many hot springs on Deception Island were formed when an active volcano collapsed into itself. As a result, tiny ponds to larger lakes were formed, all heated by the fire still raging down below.
The trick is in finding a pool of water where the temperature is just right since they can range from ice cold upwards of 158 degrees. Your search can be easily remedied by following the crowd, not that there's a huge one at any one given time. Still, Deception Island Hot Springs is fascinating beyond comparison.
Located in southwestern Colorado near Telluride, Dunton Hot Springs consists of five separate pools, all geothermically heated. The same place where a century ago miners would soothe their aching muscles in natural pools still serves visitors today, but in a more modern setting.
The water runs red in Dunton because of its very high iron and magnesium content which attracts arthritic sufferers from far and wide. The mountain setting with streams and fields of wildflowers is as serene and peaceful as it gets.
For the ultimate in getting in touch with one's inner-self, enjoy the warm relaxing waters at Dunton while glamping at one of the several nearby camps.
Banff Upper Hot Springs is located at the base of the Canadia Rockies in the town of Banff. The water maintains year-round temperatures between 98 and 104 degrees for the ultimate in comfort.
Minerals include bicarbonate which is known to open peripheral blood vessels which helps with poor circulation. The springs were discovered in 1844 and have seen a steady of visitors since.
Located in Big Bend National Park, the 105-degree temperature of springs water is fresh and soothing after a long day of hiking. The water is full of dissolved mineral salts, the same salt people buy to dissolve in their bathtubs.
With the water bubbling up from the ground at 105-degrees, it's probably best to visit this one in the summer months as the water can feel incredibly hot in the relentless heat of the Texas sun.
This gigantic hot spring is heated by a lava field outside of a fishing village. The water is heavily infused with silica and sulfur and is known to treat any type of skin ailment known to humankind. The minerals are so strong they have been known to make hair brittle.
For a real treat try a facial mud pack and arm yourself with a cocktail before entering the water. You won't want to get back out.
Hot springs are an entirely different experience from soaking in a chlorinated hot tub. The refresh, relax and heal. Next time you go on vacation look for an area with some hot springs nearby and give it a try. What do you have to lose other than some aches and pains?

China may delay the sanctioning of another Pak-based terrorist
By uddeshya.tiwari August 13, 2022 Updated: August 13, 2022 Global Affairs No Comments4 Mins Read
On Wednesday, UNSC agreed to impose sanctions on Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist Abdul Rauf Azhar. However, only one nation, China, stood out by defending the terrorist and putting a hold on the proposal to impose sanctions on him.
The United States of America and India wanted Azhar to be labelled as an international terrorist. They also wanted him to be subjected to a global travel ban and the freezing of his assets.
In order for this proposal to be approved, all 15 nations that make up the UN Security Council would need to give their consent.
However, China, which is both a permanent member of the United Nations and a close ally of Pakistan, put a hold on the move in order to delay its implementation.
According to a spokesperson for China's mission to the United Nations, the delay was made because China needed "more time to study the case." This information was cited by Reuters.
According to the report, a spokesperson for the Chinese government was quoted as saying that "placing holds is provided for by the Committee guidelines," and that there have been quite a number of similar holds placed by committee members on listing requests.
The United States accused Azhar of encouraging Pakistanis to engage in terrorist activities and organising suicide attacks in India.
The US government decided to impose sanctions on him in 2010. These sanctions have been in place since 2010.
He was accused of being involved in the planning and execution of a number of terrorist attacks, some of which included the hijacking of an Indian Airlines aircraft in Kandhar, Afghanistan, in 1999; the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001; and the attack on the Indian air force base in Pathankot, India, in 2016.
Ruchira Kamboj, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, made what appears to be a reference to China on Tuesday when she said that the practice of placing holds and blocks on listing requests of terrorists without giving any justification must come to an end.
These comments were made by Ruchira Kamboj, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, during a debate on Tuesday before the United Nations Security Council about the dangers that terrorist acts pose to international peace and security.
In her words, "The fact that genuine and evidence-based listing proposals relating to some of the most notorious terrorists in the world are being put on hold is extremely regrettable."
" The credibility of the Sanctions Regime has reached an all-time low as a result of the continued politicization of its implementation and the use of double standards. "
On a number of occasions, China has put a hold on the United Nations Security Council Al-Qaeda and ISIL Sanctions Committee's process of listing Pakistan-based terrorists.
At the beginning of the month of June, India lashed out at China for blocking the proposal to include terrorist Abdul Rehman Makki on the Sanctions Committee, also known as the United Nations Security Council 1267 Committee.
The Ambassador, Ms. Kamboj, stated that terrorism has been a problem in India for decades, and the country has become adept at combating this menace through the cultivation of resolve and firm determination.
She continued by saying, "We hope that the global community will stand united in addressing this threat to humanity with zero tolerance."
Reuters was given the following statement by a spokesperson for the United States mission to the United Nations: "The United States respects the needs of other countries to verify that a sanctions proposal meets their domestic evidentiary threshold in order to justify a listing at the UN."
"The United States values cooperation with our Security Council partners to effectively use this tool in an apolitical way to stop terrorists from exploiting the global order to commit their misdeeds," the spokesperson added. "This is a tool that can effectively stop terrorists from exploiting the global order to carry out their misdeeds."
