A NEW SINGLE MALT IS BORN AT THE ISLE OF HARRIS DISTILLERY
The Isle of Harris Distillery, has announced that it brought in the New Year by celebrating the filling of its very first casks.
The spirit which will eventually become their Hearach single malt, flowed from the distillery's copper stills just before Christmas, and the 561 litres it produced have now been filled into its first three casks.

with the first three filled casks
The Isle of Harris Distillery based in Tarbert, opened its doors on September 24th 2015, and is the first distillery on the island and the first of significant commercial size in the Outer Hebrides.
During January, Production Manager Kenny Maclean and the distillery team will work to adjust their methods to ensure the 'new make spirit' has the character the company is looking for, then will fill the first run of 200 casks – ex Buffalo Trace barrels, which have already been bought by private individuals.
Commenting on the news, Simon Erlanger, Managing Director of the Isle of Harris Distillery, said: "We opened the distillery in late September with what was really a family affair for the whole of the people of Harris including the biggest ceilidh the island has ever seen and now we have even more to celebrate with the production of our first spirit,"
From the outset the distillery has been determined to place itself at the heart of the Harris community and has become known as the Social Distillery. Many of those first 200 casks have been purchased by islanders and will be part of the island's own story.
The Isle of Harris Distillery, will eventually produce the equivalent of 300,000 bottles a year of its Hearach single malt whisky.

Full Description: Get ready to spend your next adventure vacation living the high life on the Pacific coast of beautiful Costa Rica. This fabulous, ultra modern vacation villa was just recently completed in 2015 so everything is new and up to date. This rental home is located in a pleasingly private spot just 10 minutes from the exciting little surf town of Dominical and a mere 30 minutes from the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park. The park is a sure place to see lots of breathtaking scenery and a myriad of different species of tropical wildlife, but an awesome feature to this holiday home is the nearly 3 acres of private land surrounding it, in an area of the country with a heavy focus on conservation activities. This means that you will probably have to chance to see frolicking monkeys, busy little birds, butterflies, iguanas and more right in proximity to your place of rest.
Spend a day relaxing in the sun on the patio with the magnificent view of the rainforest and the Pacific Ocean sprawled out before you. The evening is a great time to chill on a lounge chair (or in the pristine infinity edge pool!) with your favorite tropical drink in hand and enjoy the sun's spectacular farewell from over the ocean. This vacation villa also has a great area for doing a little entertaining complete with a covered dining area and a gas grill. If you're looking to easily whip up a complete meal there is a fully equipped kitchen inside with modern stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, coffeemaker and microwave.

With 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms, this luxurious contemporary vacation villa offers a place to sleep for 10 people. The master bedroom opens directly out on the patio and has huge windows so you can enjoy the view from the moment you open your eyes in the morning. The other 2 bedrooms both have a cute little balcony with sitting area that is just perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee and listening to birdsong. The entire villa is peppered with super chic, sleek furnishings and creative, interesting decor. It can't compete with the majesty of nature that so epically surrounds this luxury rental home, but it comes in a close second.
No modern vacation home would be complete with the expected complement of modern day amenities. Each bedroom is equipped with an IHOME alarm clock with docking station and a lock box for valuables. The AC is individually adjustable throughout the villa. Enjoy a 46" flatscreen TV in the common room, or retire to the privacy of your bedroom to enjoy a show from cable/satellite on the 32" flatscreen TV there. The concierge is available 24 hours a day and is able to help with a host of necessities. Wireless Internet keeps you in touch and a complimentary cell phone is provided for use during your stay.

Here's a clever prank for you: Make the victim's computer actually type the word "SPACE" every time they hit the space bar. They'll be lost trying to figure out what on earth is going on, and it couldn't be simpler.
This one can't be simpler—just find somebody at work who turns their PC off at night, come in before them, and boot off a Linux Live CD. Then leave an official-looking memo on their desk saying they've been upgraded to Linux, and watch them struggle to figure out what on earth they are doing. You'll probably want to get rid of the Install icon, of course.
This one is really simple to do—just create a shortcut to shutdown.exe on the desktop, and then change the icon to a regular folder, so when they double-click the folder to see what it might contain, they get a nice system shutdown notice instead. You can change the shutdown time to really far in the future so they won't lose any work, but mostly so they get the full benefit of your nerd skills.
If they are using XP, the effect is nice and dramatic, and you can even have some fun with the shutdown time… on Windows 7 you won't be able to show off your geek skills quite as well, but they'll still see something that will confuse them.
If you really want to screw with somebody without installing anything, just enable the Dvorak alternate keyboard layout that even most geeks aren't familiar with. When they type, everything will go haywire.
Head into Control Panel –> Region and Language –> Keyboards –> Change keyboards, then click the Add button and pick the Dvorak layout (or any other random layout you want). Once you've done that, use the drop-down above to set the default.
You'll probably want to flip over to the Language Bar tab and set that to hidden as well, so they won't be able to figure it out easily.
This usually works out better if the other person has a desktop PC, because you can hide the wireless mouse or keyboard receiver behind their PC, and then every so often type an extra letter, or move the mouse slightly. If you do it right, you can have some fun with this one for a long time. The great thing is that this should work for almost anybody, including people that keep their computer locked all the time.
If they do have a laptop and a wireless mouse, you can simply replace their wireless mouse with an identical-looking one, since it won't work for their PC. They'll assume their mouse batteries are dead, and you can move the mouse pointer around the screen with their mouse. The prank won't last as long, but it will be every bit as fun.
Obviously the picture, courtesy of ehavir, shows a wired keyboard—but it'll work much better with a wireless setup.
We've covered this before, but you can easily stick custom text into the clock that sits in the taskbar—and most people won't have a clue how to switch it back. Just head into Control Panel –> Region and Language –> Additional Settings –> Time, and change the AM or PM symbols to whatever you want. Or you can read how to do it for Windows 7 or Vista.
You can really throw somebody for a loop if you use a simple AutoHotkey script to flip their trackpad to scroll in the opposite direction. They'll be completely confused! If they happen to have a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad, you can actually tweak this setting right in the Control Panel –> Mouse dialog, but otherwise, check out our article covering the script method, that should work anywhere.
There's any number of possibilities for this one, and the sky is really the limit—the idea is that you put something custom into the AutoCorrect so whatever they type gets replaced with something else.
You can go subtle with it, and just replace a properly typed word with a typo instead, or you can get in their face with something more fun—like making anytime they type their name end up replacing it with "<Name> is a jerk". Loads of fun.
For Word 2007 or 2010, head to the Office button –> Options –> Proofing –> AutoCorrect Options. For previous versions… I have no idea. If you want this to be system-wide, you can use AutoHotkey instead.
Even a serious geek is going to be pretty lost on how to troubleshoot a new tab repeatedly opening to a certain page every couple of minutes, if you bury that inside the task scheduler. Just go in and create a new task, run through the wizard and pick the browser executable, plug the site name into the arguments box, and then set the schedule to repeat the task every 5 minutes.
Nice and simple, but oh so fun! Just head into Control Panel –> Mouse –> Pointers and change the Normal pointer to the busy one. They'll think their computer is hanging all the time, but it's really not. For extra fun, you could make the mouse pointers gigantic.
That's it. Once you press that key combo, their desktop will get flipped to the high contrast mode—you can press it again to go back to normal. The great thing is that even if their computer is locked, you can enable high contrast with the icon on the lower left corner. On Mac OS X, you can press Ctrl+Opt+Cmd+8 to invert the screen's colors.
Take a screenshot of the desktop with the icons where they are, set it as the wallpaper, and then hide the desktop icons.
Move the desktop icons around, or create bogus icons, take a screenshot, and then set it as the wallpaper. This way some icons work, and some don't.
Take the screenshot of the desktop, and then hide the taskbar below the bottom of the screen before setting the wallpaper (this only works on XP). Even better: flip the image upside down before doing it.
The result looks something like the image above, assuming you followed the second idea and created a folder on the desktop that they'd be sure to notice right away. They'll keep clicking, but nothing will happen.
Bonus? Combine this with the shutdown shortcut so when they do figure it out and try and open the folder… it'll give them the shutdown prank too!
Alright, so that was actually twelve pranks. Prank wisely.

Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, there's a decent chance you love Christmas movies. Whether it's Hallmark Channel offerings playing in the background or ceremonial viewings of family favorites, these films are as much a part of the season as mistletoe and carols. For this year's 12 Days of Christmas, treat yourself to a dozen movies that'll leave you merrier than a partridge in a pear tree.
On the First Day… A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
Credit: Snoopy/ YouTube
It's been a tough year, so start the season with this security blanket of a TV special. An instant classic since it premiered on CBS a full 55 years ago, A Charlie Brown Christmas was the first special based on Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts; just 15 years old at that time, the comic strip was already a worldwide sensation. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving followed in 1966 and 1973, respectively, making for a trifecta of holiday wholesomeness. Apple TV+ now owns the rights and will make it available to watch for free from December 11 – 13, and they've also agreed to air the special on PBS on December 13.
On the Second Day… Die Hard (1988)
Credit: Movieclips Classic Trailers/ YouTube
If you've ever met a Die Hard superfan, you're no doubt aware that many consider the Bruce Willis action flick a Christmas movie. They're not wrong: It takes place on Christmas Eve, features Run DMC's "Christmas in Hollis" on the soundtrack, and is ultimately about the importance of reuniting with family. (There's even a Christmas-themed children's book based on the R-rated flick.) Whichever side of that annual debate you fall on, there's little arguing that Die Hard is seasonally appropriate viewing no matter when you watch it.
On the Third Day… Christmas, Again (2014)
Credit: Factory 25/ Vimeo
If you're looking for something less well known, consider this independent drama an unexpected gift beneath your tree. A quiet movie about a forlorn Christmas-tree salesman named Noel (Kentucker Audley), whose spirits begin to perk up after helping a young woman he finds asleep on a park bench, the minor-key drama might be thought of as a Festivus for the rest of us — a reminder that not everyone enjoys the holidays, and there's nothing wrong with that. Even so, there's a degree of warmth and solace to be found in the company of others as the snow begins to fall and trees are lit up for the season.
On the Fourth Day… White Christmas (1954)
Even if you've never seen White Christmas, you've no doubt heard the song it made famous — it's literally the best-selling single of all time. Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye star as soldiers returning home from World War II in Michael Curtiz's all-timer of a musical, which has the comforting effect of hot cocoa on a cold December night. The leading men, who play a song-and-dance duo when they're not on the front, are joined by Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen as sisters who likewise perform together; now a quartet, they endeavor to rescue a Vermont inn on the verge of going under through (what else?) the power of song.
On the Fifth Day… Home Alone (1990)
Thirty years after its release, it can be easy to forget what a cultural phenomenon Home Alone was, but a rewatch is all it takes to remember. With $476 million in worldwide box-office receipts, several sequels, and just as many iconic moments, the movie that made Macaulay Culkin a household name still retains its appeal. That's thanks largely to the heart behind the laughs, as all the hijinks (some of which may be more violent than you remember) are in service of a story about the pain of being apart from family as Christmas approaches — and the joy of seeing them again just in time for the big day.
On the Sixth Day… Krampus (2015)
Credit: Legendary/ YouTube
Christmas horror isn't the most well known of genres, but movies like Black Christmas (2019), Who Slew Auntie Roo? (1972), and Silent Night, Deadly Night (1972) have long provided valuable counterprogramming for the grinches among us. Krampus continues that trend by putting its title character — a horned figure from Austro-Bavarian folklore who's essentially the anti-Santa — front and center, as he and his evil underlings terrorize a snowbound family (headed up by Adam Scott and Toni Collette) that was having a bad time before they started getting picked off one by one by demonic toys and gingerbread men. Lest that description dissuade the horror-averse from giving Krampus a try, know that this dark comedy provides laughs and thrills in equal measure.
On the Seventh Day… A Christmas Tale (2008)
Credit: videoschristmas/ YouTube
If you're a Francophile, all you really need to know about A Christmas Tale is that it was directed by Arnaud Desplechin and stars the singular Catherine Deneuve as a dysfunctional family's tough-as-nails matriarch. The kind of family that makes you grateful for your own, the Vuillards have a fraught history; their halfhearted attempt at a yuletide détente goes about as well as you'd expect — which is to say, not well at all. Even so, the film (original title: Un conte de Noël) never descends into misery or melancholia. Rather, it's bittersweet in the way that a great many holiday gatherings are.
On the Eighth Day… Miracle on 34th Street (1947)
More power to you if you prefer the genuinely good 1994 remake, but the original is a classic for a reason. An all-ages favorite about a department-store Santa Claus (Edmund Gwenn) who claims to be the real deal, it's an ode to the power of belief and childlike wonderment that, unlike St. Nick himself, loses none of its magic as you get older.
On the Ninth Day… Tangerine (2015)
Credit: Magnolia Pictures & Magnet Releasing/ YouTube
Christmas in Hollywood is a curious affair, especially as told by Sean Baker. Nestled between the filmmaker's equally moving Starlet and The Florida Project, Tangerine was shot entirely on three iPhones — a budgetary necessity that only adds to its lived-in authenticity. It follows one Sin-Dee Rella, a transgender sex worker just released from a month in prison and now on the hunt for her pimp/boyfriend; rumor has it that he's been unfaithful, and so it's up to Sin-Dee's bestie to both aid her on this quest and keep her reined in. If that doesn't sound like the setup for a touching Christmas story, that's part of Tangerine's appeal: Like its protagonist, the film itself is a pleasant surprise.
On the 10th Day… The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
The most famous Tim Burton movie that wasn't actually directed by Tim Burton (he served as a writer and producer), this animated classic will remain en vogue from Halloween through Christmas, thanks to an ever-expanding supply of teenagers shopping at Hot Topic. Don't hold that against it, though, as this dark musical really is great fun — with memorable characters like Jack Skellington and Danny Elfman's evocative score, The Nightmare Before Christmas is much more pleasant than its title suggests.
On the 11th Day… National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)
Credit: Movieclips/ YouTube
Christmas comedies can be divided into two categories: Christmas Vacation and everything else. (Sorry, Elf.) Arguably the best entry in the long-running National Lampoon franchise starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo (plus a young Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki), this seasonal gem finds the Griswolds at their merriest as their extended family descends upon their suburban abode for a holiday full of sledding, eggnog, and one very large tree. It's silly and over the top, of course, but its heart is in the right place — something that counts for a lot this time of year.
On the 12th Day… Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
There's only one way to truly "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," and it's by watching Judy Garland's timeless rendition of that yuletide standard in Meet Me in St. Louis. Vincente Minnelli's Technicolor musical would still be a best-of-all-time contender if that were its only memorable scene, but it's just one of many in this year in the life of a family whose story concludes at the 1904 World's Fair. And while you don't have to love musical numbers to love the movie itself, its versions of "The Trolley Song" and "The Boy Next Door" complete the trifecta and make for a happy holiday indeed.

Picnics and cookouts tend to work well for a gluten-free diet. Most grilled foods, like 100% beef or turkey burgers, hot dogs, chicken breasts, etc. are gluten-free in the regular grocery store, so you can co ordinate with your host and ask about any marinades, or just bring your own food to grill. For vegetarians, grilled Portabella mushrooms, red peppers (my favorite) and veggie skewers work well. If your host is grilling buns, marinated meat, or anything else 'glutenous' in the same area, bring along aluminum foil to wrap your food and keep it safe from cross contamination. Just bring along your own bun, or in a pinch, use a lettuce leaf as a wrapper. It helps to carry a few little packets of condiments, in case there aren't squeeze bottles of mayo or mustard. Green salads, fruit salads and watermelon are usually on the menu, and don't forget grilled corn on the cob as a yummy treat! Quinoa salads are wonderful in this weather, and are getting more popular. Ice cream, popsicles and frozen fruit bars are usually gluten-free, though it's important to check the label because there are exceptions. Since these events are often potlucks, it's easy to bring along a safe dish that you'll enjoy.
Or, if you're at home or entertaining, experiment with grilled fruit, like grilled mango, peaches or pineapple for a gourmet and simply elegant gluten-free treat!
Cheerios has announced their cereals are now gluten-free…but before you get too excited, dig a little deeper. For the past few years, certified gluten-free oats have been available though a variety of companies. They are grown on special fields and batch tested. But Cheerios have opted NOT to use certified g-free oats, instead using a patented sorting process to separate out the *ahem* wheat from the chaff.
But but but…Gluten-Free Watchdog went to the facility and observed the processes and the testing. Some of the batches are well below the 20ppm limit to label as gluten-free, but a few were above, and one was way above. Also, the sampling is done on pooled samples (a large group) vs individual boxes, which makes it more likely to miss small patches of gluten contamination.
Of course, there are also a small group of people with Celiac that can't eat oats, even certified gluten-free oats.
Long story short, at this point in time, I don't feel comfortable recommending Cheerios to anyone with Celiac until they improve their testing system. A big company can and should be doing a better job.
Time flies, and I've been seeing clients in Alexandria since 2007. Because of recent changes at that office and an upcoming remodel, I've moved my office space a few miles away to 5680 King Centre Drive, which is right off S Van Dorn in the Kingstowne area. I'm still also seeing clients in Fairfax, too.
Wishing you a beautiful and restful summer!

Q: What's the difference between the usage of different and other in these contexts? Source

The journey is called off, replanned for some other time.

Source:A School Prospectus

The school has well equipped computer labs. The students use the facilities to develop software, which are not useful only to the school but also to other organisations.

In the second sentence, I believe comma is unnecessarily used.
What difference would it make if I replace other by different in these sentences. I believe different is a must for the second sentence in place of other
.

A: Think of this

Different [from] : refers to two things not being the same. New York is different from Los Angeles [because it has Skyscrapers].

and

Other [than]: refers to things that might be the same in terms, but are not the same. Which cities exists, other than New York and Los Angeles?.

The software can be used by other organisations [other schools or other organisations].
The software can be used by different organisations [different organizations from schools, maybe municipalities, unions or some completely different organization]

After many years under Eidos/Silicon Dreams ownership and development, EA releases the official Champions League game for the 2004/2005 season. The last rehash of the engine debuted on FIFA 2003, it draws most of it's gameplay elements from the 2005 edition, but with some changes to gameplay such as a slightly more aggressive AI on attack (reducing the need to constantly push players forward using the Off The Ball controls, still present), new refereeing aspects such as some deliberate errors (as in occasional bad offside calls or throw-ins, not cheating the player through mistakes), advantage rule and handballs and a new set piece system, which replaces the much criticized "targeting" and "push and shove" featured in 2005. This system is much less rigid and less formulaic, as a directional arrow and powerbars define how balls are crossed and there are four player movement setups, thus making each corner and indirect free kicks different. For direct free kicks, players have the option to take driven or curved shots or drop a pass to a nearby player to explore a gap in the defense. All options are available at all times, instead of being determined by the distance to goal. Many of these changes were later adapted into the new FIFA 06 engine, and it was also chosen as the match engine for subsequent Bright Future's FIFA Manager.

La estación de Dommartin-Remiencourt es una estación ferroviaria francesa, de la línea férrea París-Lille, situada en la comuna de Dommartin, en el departamento de Somme. Por ella transitan únicamente trenes regionales que unen París y Amiens.

Situación ferroviaria
La estación se encuentra en el punto kilométrico 116,537 de la línea férrea París-Lille.

Historia
Fue inaugurada en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX por parte de la Compañía de ferrocarriles del Norte. En 1937, la estación pasó a ser explotada por la SNCF.

El 12 de mayo de 2008, la SNCF y la RFF pusieron en marcha las obras para suprimir un paso a nivel cercano a la estación. La obra se realizó en muy pocas horas con el fin de alterar en la menor medida posible la circulación ferroviaria de una línea recorrida por un centenar de trenes diarios.

La estación
La pequeña estación está configurada como un apeadero. Dispone de dos vías y de dos andenes laterales.

Weve all made mistakes David Moyes urges public to forgive Kurt Zouma
David Moyes has pleaded for forgiveness for Kurt Zouma following the West Ham defender's shameful abuse of his pet cat.
Zouma is continuing to play for the Hammers despite the public outcry, sponsors dropping the club and the player, and the RSPCA – which has confiscated his two cats – investigating the video of him kicking and slapping the animal.
The French defender will attend RSPCA courses and Hammers boss Moyes, who says he can "look himself in the mirror" for still picking the player, hopes he can be rehabilitated like a drink-driver.
"We all make mistakes in life. The boy is incredibly remorseful. He's incredibly upset at what he did – he did a terrible thing," said Moyes.
"But if it's the case that there's no forgiveness, then… we've all made mistakes and we'll all continue to make mistakes in life.
"We have to give people opportunities. He said he got it wrong, made a big mistake, so I'm hoping people will see it in a different way and see it with forgiveness.
"The club are doing everything they possibly can. We'll send him to the RSPCA who are going to help him, just like if somebody had a drink-driving offence, we'd get them help.
"We'd hope those people would get better and never do that again."
Zouma has been fined the maximum two weeks' wages, which will go to animal charities, but there are still calls for him to be suspended while an online petition to get him prosecuted has topped 300,000 signatures.
The 27-year-old's brother Yoan has been told he can no longer play for his club, Dagenham, until the RSPCA has completed its probe.
But Moyes has confirmed Zouma will be available to face Leicester on Sunday, and added: "If you think missing the game is the answer, then would you know how many games you'd say he should miss? What would you think be the right number?
"I think the financial side is as heavy as the club can give. I hope that the charities will benefit greatly from it. At the moment we've just come through a pandemic where the charities have struggled.
"I wish this situation had never happened. I wish we weren't even talking about this. But if any good is going to come out of this, then they are going to get a substantial money, the charities.
"I can understand the public's opinion. But I'm also one of the public. I see myself as a football supporter, a human being.
"I understand where everybody else is with this, I really do. I can't condone it, what he's done. But as a football club, and me as a football manager, we are doing what we see fit."

You know a burger has made an impression on you when you're standing in the middle of a street in Liverpool, frantically searching for a seemingly unmarked door just so you can taste sweet candied bacon again.
Inside Almost Famous, the place is humming. Diners place their orders at the bar, help themselves to sauces, cutlery, and big rolls of paper towel, before settling in to wait for their feed. You know a burger is going to be good if you're expected to use a roll of paper towel. And it gets served in a frisbee.
We may have gone a little crazy on the ordering.
And wings. From hot to super freaking hot.
This is the reason burgers exist. Triple patty, candied bacon, pretzels for crunch, holy freaking cheeseburger. Top five burger experience, hands down.
Don't even ask me about dessert. I don't know how those girls fit it in.
Please, pretty please, Almost Famous - won't you come to London?
Oh sweet nibblets, that burger in insane AND those fries with all sorts of naughty wickedness on top!!
What an awesome discovery of this hidden gem, I can imagine it would be totally swamped if one was to come to London!!
