For those that have been following along, you may have noticed that Bottom Of The Barrel has hit a fork in the road of sorts. With two bartenders facing the challenge in a week, we now have double the amount of bartenders being called out. Joann and I had a choice- stifle the fun, or go with it. For obvious reasons, we decided on the later. So prepare yourselves for double the amount of BOTD fun.
For those visiting for the first time, Bottom Of The Barrel is a collaborative effort between Two For The Bar, Joann Pai of Acorn Mag and local bartenders. We've been asking craft bartenders to create a new cocktail with not-so-craft ingredients. For our fifth instalment, we saw Clough Club's Buck Friend beheading Peeps (yes, the Easter marshmallow) in the name of cocktail-based fun. Buck chose to call out Robyn Gray of Prohibition Bar and threw down our second non-spirit ingredient- Vegemite! Let's see how he fared, shall we?

Australia Welcomes Foreign Superyachts
International major events are happening in the Pacific region in the next two years, and Australia has opened up its doors to international superyacht charters when the Special Recreational Vessel Act was passed in December 2019. For the superyacht sector, this is such a welcome milestone after 20 years of working hard for the ability of foreign vessels to charter in Australian waters.
1. EASING THE WAY
The Special Recreational Vessel Bill 2019 was introduced in the House of Representatives on 27 November, agreed to on 3 December, then introduced in the Senate and agreed to on 5 December. The Governor-General gave his assent on 11 December.
In summary, the Act allows the owner, charterer, master or agent of a special recreational vessel to apply for a temporary licence for a special recreational vessel under the Coastal Trading (Revitalising Australian Shipping) Act 2012; and applies the Act to the extent necessary to regulate voyages conducted by special recreational vessels under such licences.
Under this Act, a special recreational vessel is a vessel that:
(a) is designed to be used wholly or primarily for recreational or sporting activities; and
(b) is over 24 metres in length; and
(c) is not used wholly or primarily for carrying cargo.
The Act permits applications for temporary licences authorising the vessels to carry passengers in Australia, but treated as if they were applications under the Coastal Trading Act. The owner, charterer, master or agent of the vessel who is granted the temporary licence will be able to engage in coastal trading.
Previously, foreign vessels could not operate commercially in Australia, unless they fully imported the vessel. This had been considered by the industry as a major deterrent to foreign superyacht owners who are considering cruising Australian waters.
The industry has been working hard for the ability for foreign vessels to charter for a very long time. "There are a lot of people who have contributed to this outcome, and the reason why there are so many is because this is such an important change for our industry and for Australia," stated David Good, CEO of Superyacht Australia, the peak body for the Australian superyacht industry. Industry stalwarts, like Captain Richard Morris and Lance Cushion, have been in the forefront of all the work, together with business owners, such as Paul Darrouzett, Trenton Gay, Justin Parer, and more recently with the Superyacht Australia charter working group, led by former CEO MaryAnne Edwards, Kane Bygrave, Cameron Bray, Jo Howard and Luke McCaul, with the assistance and political advice from of Damien McGreevy, Nick Trompf and Dan McCarthy.
2. THE SUPERYACHT ADVANTAGE
According to Superyacht Australia, Australians dominate the superyacht industry in the world, with over a quarter of the world's superyacht captains and crew hailing from down under. With the new Act and the continued support of the government, it means that Australia is supporting over 14,000 crew of highly skilled Australian seafarers. Australia is also the dominant refit and maintenance provided for superyachts in the Asia-Pacific region, with facilities and skilled tradesmen that rival those in the USA and Europe.
The industry believes that this new legislation will likely triple our industry activity almost overnight, with double the vessels visiting and the length of stay for each vessel increasing significantly. With Australia as a year-round destination, vessels will be encouraged to explore the Great Barrier Reef, Northern Territory and the Kimberley's in the winter, and enjoy Port Stephens, Pittwater, Eden, Tasmania, Kangaroo Island, Abrolhos Islands, Margaret River and Rottnest Island in the summer.
"The Tokyo Olympics in July 2020 and the America's Cup in Auckland 2021 are expected to bring around 160 superyachts to our region – which is on the radar for superyacht owners for the marvellous cruising grounds and world-class service facilities Australia offers," said David.
The new change in the law also benefits the local superyacht charter market. "Regions that have a high level of charter activity receive increased international marketing exposure, which then encourages further investment in locally based vessels, infrastructure and repair facilities," stated David. "With this change, Australia will enjoy a similar boost to our local industry and the thousands of skilled trade jobs and economic benefits that come with it."
With the passing of the law, it was necessary to conduct training for vessel agents and charter brokers. Superyacht Australia immediately organised the training, with instructions provided by subject matter experts from government departments on the Coastal Trading Licencing System (CTLS), Goods and Services Tax (GST), commercial marine park permits, border and customs requirements. At the completion of the training attendees have been able to register as users on the CTLS and can apply for a temporary licence on behalf of vessels.
Organisers of the fourth annual Australian Superyacht Rendezvous were also quick to jump on the good news on the passing of the new law. This year's event will be staged in the Whitsundays – first time for the event to be in the Great Barrier Reef. "[The] legislative change is a culmination of years of collaborative work and passion by many people in the marine industry to remove this 'barrier to entry', and we now throw out the welcome flag for international superyachts to attend the Australian Superyacht Rendezvous in October 2020," said Paul Darrouzet, owner of Coral Sea Marina Resort, the host of the 2020 event.
Queensland is setting the course to become a recognised hub for global superyachts. The Superyacht Industry Development Fund provides grants that help local businesses secure a bigger share of the global superyacht market. This fund is part of the Queensland Superyacht Strategy 2018-2023, which sets out the state's plan to increase global industry market share by 10%. Applications for Round 2 closed on 14 February.
"The changes to the [Special Recreational Vessel Bill 2019] were advocated for in our superyacht strategy, and having it pass with bipartisan support gives great confidence to the industry," stated Member for Cairns, Michael Healy, Queensland Superyacht Strategy champion. "This will attract more superyachts to Queensland, and it will lengthen their stay when they get here. It is a great outcome for Queensland and our many leading marine businesses right along the supply chain."
SUPERYACHT BERTHING AND REFIT SERVICES ON THE GOLD COAST
A $2 million funding by the Queensland government has been granted to support the Southport Yacht Club's (SYC) superyacht berth project on the Gold Coast, as part of The Spit Masterplan. "The Southport Yacht Club estimates that this $7.7 million superyacht berth project, to be located adjacent to Jack Gordon Park, could see up to 25 jobs created during the construction phase, with many more created as a result of the project," declared Cameron Dick, minister for state development. "The new berth will allow the SYC to cater for more, and larger boats, which opens up the Gold Coast to some of the world's largest and most luxurious yachts."
Minister Dick said that as long as the project met all approval requirements, superyachts could be docking at the facility by October 2020. "This would mean the Gold Coast would be able to capitalise on superyachts leaving Japan after the Tokyo Olympics before heading to New Zealand for the America's Cup. Superyacht passengers spend more when they are in town. They have a much higher onshore spend on food and beverages, dining and other experiences so we expect to see this development stimulate flow-on jobs in other parts of the Gold Coast."
Southport Yacht Club CEO Brett James said the berth represented a huge opportunity for the Coast's growing superyacht industry and would help change the face of tourism on the Gold Coast. "This berth will open the doors to visits from bigger and more expensive yachts, which bring with them economic opportunities not just for the yacht club but for businesses across the region. More yachts mean more work for the people who service them up in Coomera, more orders for the people providing provisions to them, and more customers for restaurants, eateries and retail outlets across the Gold Coast. The SYC is already a designated customs and immigration clearance point, and this project will give international superyacht owners additional reasons to drop anchor in the Broadwater."
Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA) CEO, Hal Morris, said GCWA is continuing to work with other government agencies as well as industry to send a strong signal that the welcome mat is out for superyachts on the Gold Coast. "We're proud to be working with our government counterparts and the marine industry to speed up approval for berthing facilities and support for navigation access to attract more superyachts to our Waterways City. Additionally, the completion of projects like the Coomera River dredging campaign means superyachts up to 60 metres in length are able to access the Gold Coast Marine Industry Precinct."

I just returned from my week-long trip to Anna Maria Island, Florida. While I was away I created a travel journal set that you can see here. I uploaded each day I was gone, and tried to tell the story of the vacation as it unfolded day by day. Feel free to check it out with the link and let me know what you think.
While I was on vacation, I also shot 15 rolls of 120 film with my Hasselblad 501CM. The shot above is not one of them, however; the rolls are not yet processed, though I hope to send them out this week. Hopefully in 2-3 weeks they will be here and scanned, and I will be able to post them. I really enjoyed taking the Hasselblad with me–I haven't been using it enough since I got it a few months ago, and it was fun to give it some extended time as my main camera. I'm excited to see the results.
The shot above was taken earlier this summer. I really do love the quality that the larger film gives, especially in combination with the excellent optics of the Zeiss-made Hasselblad lenses. I know I said it last week, but they really are amazing, and a joy to look at the slides or negatives, and the resulting scans.
I'd love to hear your input in the comments below. If you already take the time to subscribe, or check the blog regularly, consider sharing the link to my blog with others who may enjoy my work. I would really appreciate it!
Beautiful photo! I love medium format too, and the square format is my favourite, it is gorgeous for the mood in the photos. Can't wait to see your Hasselblad photos! Following!
Thanks a lot for the comment, and I'm glad you like my blog enough to follow!


Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses art materials such as paints, clay and markers. Art therapy combines traditional psychotherapeutic theories and techniques with an understanding of the psychological aspects of the creative process, especially the affective properties of the different art materials. Art therapists are trained to recognize the nonverbal symbols and metaphors that are communicated within the creative process, symbols and metaphor, which might be difficult to express in words or in other modalities. Using their skills in evaluation and psychotherapy, they choose materials and interventions appropriate to their clients' needs and design sessions to achieve therapeutic goals and objectives.
Who Can Benefit? As a mental health profession, art therapy uses art media and the creative process to help in areas such as, but not limited to: fostering self expression, enhancing coping skills, managing stress, and strengthening a sense of self. Art therapy has provided mental health treatment for clients who have experienced trauma, grief and loss, depression, chronic illness, substance abuse, and more.

Approximately 28 States carry penalties of their civil little one protection legal guidelines for any person who willfully or intentionally makes a report of child abuse or neglect that the reporter knows to be false.1 In New York, Ohio, and the Virgin Islands, making false reviews of child maltreatment is made unlawful in felony sections of State code. Based on the law of attraction, if you think about things you don't want, or if you consider the shortage in your life, you'll attract extra lack and extra of those things you do not need. It goes past merely the legislation of attraction" because LOA has a direct link to all of the different legal guidelines, making them one unit with many working parts which are all depending on one another. It is a federal felony to promote, or give, even authorized prescriptions to another particular person.
Requirements discovery can be often referred to as requirements elicitation, necessities gathering, requirements evaluation, and necessities definition. That enrolling in law school has turn into a very harmful proposition for most individuals who contemplate enrolling in one is now, if not a reality universally acknowledged, one thing that authorized academia can no longer hide, either from ourselves, or – way more essential – from anybody who does not exit of his or her technique to avoid contact with the relevant data.
This article explains how one can entice cash by utilizing the Law of Attraction. A couple proposals is Turning it right into a European Village with outlets, cobblestone streets & Marina to draw the wealthy. False Allegations is an illegal action, yet it's thriving in our California courts simply because the Court System players will not be following the authorized regulations, codes and case law. I really loved The Law of Attraction, but after studying a few of your lenses, I don't know what I think as you have brought up some nice points. And that may make you're feeling like deliberate attraction is just one other new age scam!
For understandable reasons, the regulation college reform motion has historically been dominated by pessimism. We are 3daughter in legal guidelines & she interfers in ALL our lives & hates the truth that we get along like a house on hearth. Rage for Order maps a formative phase in world historical past when imperial, not international, legislation anchored visions of world order. The perception right here is that the Threefold Law is de facto just a fancy way of dressing up the very pure process of cause-and-impact. It is thus our intention to carry new stimuli to the traditional strategy to the mainly West-oriented Law and Literature movement.

Cutest little boots designed by The Lovely Crow... I made them a little bigger for DD2 as the pattern is for baby sizes.
I wish I had that talent! so cute!!!!
Love them, do you have a link??
yeah is there a link?
super cute now if I knew someone who could teach me how to crochet.
There are no complicated stitches in this pattern... I agree YouTube has a lot of vids.
Super cute and adorable! Love the colour too.
Thanks We have carpet so DD2 can run around and not slip, but for those with hardwood, just put puffy paint on the bottom! I made my niece some Tinkerbell slippers and wrote her name on the bottom with glitter puffy paint and she loved it, and didn't slip and slide on the parquet floors.


Is This Julianne Hough's New Boyfriend?
A flirtatious dinner together isn't exactly the friend zone, if you know what I mean.
After splitting from boyfriend of three years Ryan Seacrest in March (citing busy schedules), it seems Julianne Hough has been spending most of her time with girlfriends Nina Dobrev and Maria Menounos. Until now, that is. Prior to her 25th birthday party last weekend, People reported that the dancer-turned-actress was seen sharing a "PDA-filled dinner" with writer-directer Ari Sandel at Nobu in Los Angeles.
Maybe new love is the reason Hough described her recent birthday bash as the "best birthday ever"? If so, it might be safe to say Hough has a type. After all Sandel, like Seacrest, is older than Hough (he's 36), and as an Academy Award winner he's had a pretty successful career himself.
But what else is there to know about Hough's new squeeze?
1. He's a true gentleman. He reportedly gave her a beautiful bouquet of red roses for her birthday. Aww!
2. He's dabbled in musical theater. Sort of. He won an Oscar for West Bank Story, a musical comedy a la West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet about two competing Israeli and Palestinean falafel stands.
3. While she may have danced with the stars, he has worked with them. He directed Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights: Hollywood to the Heartland.
4. He's a west-coaster, born and raised in California. Sandel graduated from Calabasas High and went on to study Media Arts at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The well-educated hunk then went on to get his Directing M.F.A. in 2004 from the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television.
While Hough and Sandel may be glowy from their new love, it seems Seacrest has also moved on. The TV mogul has been linked to 28-year-old Sports Illustrated model Dominique Piek.

Woman discovers $37 million in her bank account
December 13, 2019 at 3:15 AM CST - Updated December 13 at 6:59 AM
DALLAS (KTVT/CNN) - A Texas woman got quite the surprise when she discovered $37 million in her bank account.
Ruth Balloon was finishing up her shift at work when she decided to take a look at her bank account.
"I was like, 'Wow! We have a lot of money," she said.
She discovered her account had an extra $37 million in it. Balloon hoped it was a gift, but called her husband to let him know about the money. He called the bank to ask about the deposit.
Legacy Bank explained the error happened during a manual input of foreign currency and the exchange rate caused the mix up.
"I was a millionaire. I have a screen shot of it, so I can say that now," Balloon said.
While she says that there was no way she was going to keep the money knowing it was not hers, she is hoping maybe the bank will gift her some kind of finders fee.
"A thank you reward would be a little good. You know? Just for being a good customer and notifying them as soon as possible," Balloon said.
While the millions may have only been around for a day, it was enough time for her to think about what she could have done with it.
"I was going to do 10% tithing, then I was going to donate some money and then I would have probably invested in real estate," she said.

My efforts to document the total eclipse event were not too intense. I felt less inclined as we were not in the path of totality, so the extent of my viewing was via the pinhole eclipse projections onto the sidewalk through the leaves of trees around my house. I also put out some special beads - some labradorite spheres (aka rainbow moonstone) and some hessonite garnet rondelles, varying in shade from almost clear to a deep amber - to bask in the light, or lack thereof, of the eclipse. Sort of an infusion of the power of the celestial bodies.

11 tips for dealing with debt collection, collectors

It's something most consumers dread -- a debt collector calling to ask about an unpaid credit card debt, past due student loan or medical debt.
Consumer credit counselors, debt collectors and state regulators all agree that ignoring debt collectors' letters and phone calls is a bad idea. Deal with it, they say, otherwise matters can only get worse.
Experts offer the following 11 tips for dealing with debt collection:
1. Avoid debt collection altogether. Try to negotiate with the original creditor and work out a reasonable payment arrangement before the account is sold to a third-party debt collector.
2. Educate yourself about your rights. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has several publications designed to educate consumers about their rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Harassing and nuisance phone calls, threats and abusive language are illegal and should be reported to the FTC and your state attorney general's office. Find your state attorney general through the National Association of Attorneys General.
3. Take your head out of the sand. Don't ignore letters or phone calls about debts or court notices about debt lawsuits. The law allows consumers to send written requests for verification of debt
within 30 days of being contacted by a debt collector. Don't dawdle if the debt isn't yours: Debt collectors can place negative information on your credit report that remains there for seven years, which can affect your ability to get a mortgage or other loans, cheaper car insurance rates or even jobs.
4. Find a consumer lawyer. If you are served with a notice of a lawsuit, find an attorney who specializes in consumer law to represent you in court. Consumers who lose court judgments may have their wages garnished. Some suits are filed by debt collectors who have little or no proof of the original debt owed, says Mary Spector, an associate law professor at Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law. Depending on the state, the statute of limitations may have expired on the debt. "Without a party appearing in court to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, the creditor wins -- often based on scanty information," she says. Chances of having the lawsuit dismissed in court may be greater if you show up in court and have representation, Spector says.
5. Keep copies and records. There is no consensus on how long documents should be kept. Some experts say keep them as long as you would keep tax documents; some believe they should be kept for as long as the statute of limitations for the state where the original purchase was made or your home state, whichever is longer. Still, others say keep documents -- especially proof of settlement or resolution of debts -- forever. If a question ever arises about the debt, you will have documentation."I still have proof where I paid off my student loans," says Kurt Johnson, president of the North American Collection Agency Regulatory Association, a group of collection industry regulators from 20 states. "I've seen cases where they came after someone after 18 years for a student loan."
6. Safeguard bank accounts. Debt collectors can file suit against consumers for nonpayment of debts. Freezing savings or checking accounts is one of the court-ordered options for collecting debts. This can be extremely problematic for family budgets and cash flow, and experts advise having separate bank accounts for funds such as Social Security or disability checks, which are exempt and cannot be used as a source of court-ordered debt payments. "I would urge people not to co-mingle other funds into the bank account to which the Social Security and disability payments are going. That would help a lot of people," says Rozanne Andersen, executive vice president of ACA International, the largest credit and debt collection industry trade group. "It would be a lot easier for the consumer to clarify to the debt collector that the only funds in this account are my Social Security payments." Andersen also advises consumers to tell debt collectors if they have filed for bankruptcy, which triggers an immediate end to debt collection efforts.
7. Don't make it too easy. Some experts say consumers should avoid giving debt collectors their bank account and routing numbers. Make payments with money orders or some other third-party payment service so that you have proof of payment but avoid paying with a personal check. They also advise against allowing collectors to make direct electronic withdrawals from bank accounts.
8. Record conversations. If abusive language or threats are used, recording the conversation will document it. In a dozen states, you need the other party's permission to record the conversation. "I just feel that that's a prudent thing to do if you're really in a pickle and you're getting lots of collection calls," says Gail Cunningham, spokeswoman for the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. "I doubt that anyone would cross any of those lines if they know the call is being taped."
9. Get it in writing. Any agreements for making debt collection payments should be confirmed in writing and signed by a representative of the debt collector before sending in any payments. This avoids misunderstandings about the amounts to be paid or time period to make payments.
10. Certify that mail. Letters can be lost in the mail. Most experts advise sending all correspondence with debt collectors via certified mail; some suggest getting a return receipt as proof that your letter was received. Need help composing your letters? See the CreditCards.com sample letters to debt collectors.
11. Debt management. Find an accredited counseling agency to help you sort through the bills and draft a payment plan. "If a client is enrolled in our program, generally, creditors, if they have questions, will call us," says Leesa Kumley, an accredited counselor for nonprofit Pioneer Credit Counseling of Rapid City, S.D. The two major accrediting agencies for credit counselors are the National Foundation for Credit Counseling and the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies. Work out a payment plan that works for your family budget. The FTC advises consumers to avoid for-profit credit repair companies.

Q: Vim regex matching with lookahead and suffix without destroy the lookahead behavior Think about two different highlight match in vim
Pattern 1.
    syn match match1 /\$[^$ ]+\$/
Match $foo$, $bar$, $123$
Pattern 2.
    syn match match2 /(\w+\|(\$[^\$]+\$)\@=)+__/
I want it match foo$bar$__ but not $bar$
The problem is Pattern1 will conflict with Pattern2.
I'm trying to use Positive Lookahead to bypass Pattern1 in Pattern2,
but the prefix __ (Double underscores) destroy the behavior of Positive lookahead.
How do I solve this issue? or i'm doing something wrong !?

Update:
Sorry for bad explanation.
Pattern 1 match any string surrounded by two dollar signs
syn match match1 /\$[^$ ]\+\$/
-> $foo$, $bar$

Pattern 2 match any string end with double underscores BUT match still but exclude any string that match as Pattern1.
syn match match2 /\(\w\+\|\(\$[^\$]\+\$\)\@=\)\+__/
-> hello__, world__

so the problem is when I add any string related to pattern 1
hello$foo$__

in this case. I want hello AND __ match with pattern 1(Continuous)
but also let $foo$ match with pattern 2.

A: I don't think you understand what lookahead does. It looks like what you're trying to do is to match a string, but skip over parts of it:
foo$bar$___
^^^~~~~~^^^

... where the parts marked ^ form the match proper (discontinous) and the parts marked ~ are skipped over.
This is not possible with a regex. A regex always matches a continuous piece of string.
What lookahead does is it lets you "peek ahead": It matches a sub-regex as usual, but does not move the current position within the string. Depending on where you put the lookahead, this lets you either check text beyond the end of the match or make sure the same string is matched by two regexes simultaneously (although the latter can also be done with \& in vim).
Example:
\%(foo\)\@=bar

This can never match. It requires the next three characters to be both foo and bar at the same time, which is impossible.

I think what you're looking for is overlapping matches. Vim supports this directly:
syn match match1 /\$[^$ ]\+\$/
syn match match2 /\%(\w\|\$[^$ ]\+\$\)\+__/ contains=match1

Here we're saying matches of match2 can contain matches of match1. This gives you the highlighting you want.

Interesting facts about beer
6 years ago 1 Comment
Beer is the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverage.
Beer is the 3rd most popular drink overall, after water and tea.
Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 9500 BC.
In Mesopotamia (Ancient Iraq) the Sumer people, about 4000 BC in the middle east were fermenting a form of bread to make a fermented pulp which had an intoxicating effect – a "divine drink".
The Babylonians about 3000 BC had up to 20 different types of beer. The early beer was cloudy and unfiltered and was usually drunk through a straw to avoid drinking the solids from the brew, which could be very bitter.
The Egyptians were also keen brewers and beer and malt has been found buried in the tombs of the Pharaohs to provide sustenance for the afterlife.
Though beer was drunk in Ancient Rome, it was replaced in popularity by wine.
Old Vikings believed that in their heaven called Valhalla, there is a giant goat whose udders provided unlimited supply of beer.
Nowadays, there are about 400 types of beer in the world. Belgium is the country that has the most individual beer brands.
Ale is the oldest type of beer and Lagers are the most commonly consumed beers around the world.
George Washington had his own brew-house on the grounds of Mount Vernon.
A Beer Wave of 1.4 million liters (388,000 Gallons) flooded London in 1814 after a huge vat ruptured.
The world's strongest beer is Brewmeister´s "Snake Venom". While regular beer usually have about 5% alcohol content, this Scottish beer has 67,5% alcohol content.
The beer that takes the accolade of the world's most expensive is this extremely rare bottle, brewed specially for Sir Edward Belcher's expedition to the Arctic in 1852 this is the only known full in tact, sealed and unopened bottle. It was first listed on eBay but the title was misspelled which meant to sold for $304 but was quickly relisted with the correct spelling. This then saw the bottle sell in 2007 for over half a million dollars ($503,300).
Amsterdam pays alcoholics in beer to clean streets: 5 cans of beer for a day's work, plus €10, tobacco and free lunch.
The most beer-drinking country in the world is the Czech Republic. With an incredible per capita beer consumption of almost 150 litars (40 gallons) a year, the Czechs are way out in front in the beer drinking world league table.
The world's largest beer festival – Oktoberfest, Munich, Germany is visited by more than 7 million people annually. In an area of over 100 acres, about 7.5 million liters (1.98 million gallons) of beer are served.
In Egypt the Land of the Pharaohs beer was the national currency, a dietary staple and even an important medicine.
The health benefits of beer include anticancer properties, a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, increased bone density, the prevention of dementia and coronary disease, aid to the digestive system, and anti-aging properties, as well as treating diabetes, gallstones, kidney stones, osteoporosis, and hypertension.
The study of beer and beer-making even has an official scientific name – zythology. It derives from the Greek words "zythos" (beer) and "logos" (study).
Stanford researchers found that beer bubbles create a gravity-defying loop. Bubbles head up in the center where frictional drag from the glass is less and down on the outside as the top gets crowded.

PublicationsThe 'laws' of binocular rivalry
The 'laws' of binocular rivalry
Published in Vision Research
Authors P.C. Klink, J W Brascamp, W J M Levelt,
It has been fifty years since Levelt's monograph On Binocular Rivalry (1965) was published, but its four propositions that describe the relation between stimulus strength and the phenomenology of binocular rivalry remain a benchmark for theorists and experimentalists even today. In this review, we will revisit the original conception of the four propositions and the scientific landscape in which this happened. We will also provide a brief update concerning distributions of dominance durations, another aspect of Levelt's monograph that has maintained a prominent presence in the field. In a critical evaluation of Levelt's propositions against current knowledge of binocular rivalry we will then demonstrate that the original propositions are not completely compatible with what is known today, but that they can, in a straightforward way, be modified to encapsulate the progress that has been made over the past fifty years. The resulting modified, propositions are shown to apply to a broad range of bistable perceptual phenomena, not just binocular rivalry, and they allow important inferences about the underlying neural systems. We argue that these inferences reflect canonical neural properties that play a role in visual perception in general, and we discuss ways in which future research can build on the work reviewed here to attain a better understanding of these properties.

Tag Archives: Betty Friedan
Mother to Daughter: Second- VS. Fourth-Wave Feminism.
By Scarlett Harris ¶ Posted in Feminism	¶ Tagged Betty Friedan, Beyonce, Clementine Ford, Destroy the Joint, fourth-wave feminism, Germaine Greer, Girls of the Playboy Mansion, Jessica Valenti, Julia Gillard, Marissa Mayer, Melbourne Writers Festival, Mia Freedman, Mother's Day, Naomi Wolf, Playboy, Q&A, Rachel Hills, second-wave feminism, sex work, slut-shaming, SlutWalk, Sophie Cunningham, Taylor Swift, The Feminine Mystique	¶ Leave a comment
While I've only begun calling myself a feminist in the past few years, I think I've always had feminist tendencies: I've always believed in reproductive rights, I've tried never to judge a woman based on her choices and it's been instilled in me that, as a woman, I can do and be anything I want to.
A lot of this is thanks to my mum, who is a '70s bra-burning hippie feminist through and through.
Though recently, as I increasingly immerse myself in current readings of feminism, I see just how far we've come, baby, and how the second-wave feminism of my mother's era is worlds apart from today's discourse on gender equality.
There have been many debates between second-, third- and fourth-wavers about who did, and is doing, more for the movement.
At a 2011 Melbourne Writers Festival presentation on why we still need feminism, Sophie Cunningham asserted that feminists under 25 can't really grasp the concept because they're still young and beautiful and have men falling at their feet. She also observed "a sort of 'bottleneck' in modern feminism", where white, Western feminists aren't able to incorporate intersectionality into the fold, which was a criticism of SlutWalk, one of latter-day feminism's most high-profile conquests. Pardon me, but wasn't it foremother Betty Friedan who was accused of being racist and homophobic with The Feminine Mystique?
Perhaps the most contentious issue is the constant bickering amongst young feminists as to what, exactly, feminism is. You've got women undertaking such obviously feminist tasks as Marissa Mayer overseeing Yahoo! and Beyonce nearing total world domination, yet they're reluctant to call a spade a spade. And the non-feminist media would have you believe there's infighting going on about who is allowed to be a feminist (definitely not Taylor Swift!).
But, I think, the feminist movement of today would like to believe it's accessible to all kinds of women (and men): straight, gay, bi, male, female, trans, black, white, mixed-race, rich, poor, able-bodied and non-able-bodied, sex workers, etc. Can second-wave feminism of yesteryear say that?
This divide is illustrated by Germaine Greer's infamous comments about Julia Gillard's clothing choices and how they accentuated her apparently undesirable body shape last year on Q&A and feminists everywhere taking to their respective platforms to mostly disagree with her. One such vocal detractor was Mia Freedman, who said Greer "broke my heart a little bit" when she took herself "down in a hail of self-inflicted friendly fire while the world watche[d] in embarrassment." When the two women appeared together on a recent episode of Q&A, Freedman was asked to clarify her response: did it mean she wasn't a fan of the "ground-breaking, arse-kicking lightening rod for social change who ignited a feminist movement from which every woman in the western world has benefited" anymore? Was this an example of the abovementioned feminist in-fighting?
Freedman responded that while she has nothing but respect for the woman in whose water she grew up and who influenced her mother's feminist awakening, "feminism needs to have a lot of different voices… It should be really, really broad and inclusive." Essentially, feminism should accommodate both the foremothers and their daughters.
Freedman went on in that same episode of Q&A to—what some would describe as—shame sex workers, or "prostitutes" as she archaically called them, which ignited a backlash of her own. So much for that broad inclusion she waxed lyrical about…
While liberating housewives of Germaine and Freedman's mother's era from "the problem with no name" and ushering in the birth control pill are milestones women of today must be thankful for, they're very much narrow-minded accomplishments: The Feminine Mystique appealed to white middle-class women and many women can't afford the birth control pill, a predicament that still exists today. And second-wave feminism was very much responsible for the sexual liberation of a generation of people, but I'm not so sure that transfers to the hook up, raunch and porn culture/s of today (as Freedman's comments about sex workers above would indicate).
For example, when I was living at home and Girls of the Playboy Mansion came on the TV, my mum would make me turn it off (keep in mind I was 22 by the time I moved out and this was not long before that). When I brought this up recently as an example of her generation's reluctance to embrace sex positivity, she launched into a tirade that ended with her calling into question the women who pose for Playboy's sexual promiscuity.
We must acknowledge that media like Playboy is an inherently patriarchal construct, but I think making the assumption that any woman who uses her sexuality as a commodity is a slave to said patriarchy is buying into the notion that feminism works against: women have no autonomy. Much like the debate over women in Islam (and don't even get me started on the fight I had with my mum about asylum seekers that, similar to the Playboy exchange, ended with her defensively inquiring about the legality of people seeking asylum via boat), certain kinds of feminism need to broaden their scope to take into account the lives of all women, whether we agree with their choices or not.
This close-mindedness comes from a lack of access to new information and technologies and willingness to learn from and hand the reigns over to the feminists of today, I think. While many feminists of all ages count the works of Greer, Friedan and Naomi Wolf amongst their collection of feminist tomes, how many second-wavers can say the same about the musings of Jessica Valenti, Clementine Ford, Rachel Hills and the myriad feminist bloggers? That face of feminism has certainly changed to make it much more accessible. What once was narrowly accessible at rallies, underground meetings and in academic journals is now available wherever you look: Gillard speaking up against sexism in parliament, movements like SlutWalk and Destroy the Joint and all across the interwebs.
So on this Mother's Day eve, it's important to acknowledge the gender equality path paved for me by my feminist foremothers, including my actual mother, but also to recognise that we have, indeed, come a long way, baby. Maybe that's something that second-wavers need to consider, too.

MUMBAI/BENGALURU - India's Infosys forecast healthy revenue growth on Friday as its new chief executive moved to put his stamp on the country's second-largest IT services firm with a new set of strategic priorities and plans to unwind deals done by his predecessor.
Salil Parekh said Infosys' new strategy comprised four key pillars -- scaling up digital services, strengthening core business, enhancing the skills of employees and boosting its presence in overseas markets.
"Our strategy is built on where our clients' digital journey is taking them and for us to have relevance for the future with our clients and that's really why we have the four pillars," Parekh, who was announcing company results after his first full quarter as chief executive, told reporters in Bengaluru.
Parekh, a former Capgemini executive, who took over as Infosys CEO in January, is tasked with twin challenges of reviving growth at the former bellwether of India's $154 billion IT industry and forging peace between its founders and board following a public spat that led to the ouster of his predecessor Vishal Sikka.
Infosys said it had begun looking for buyers for Kallidus, Skava and Panaya - firms Infosys had bought in 2015, during Sikka's tenure - and expected to complete their sale by March 2019. The decision to sell the units was taken "on conclusion of a strategic review of its portfolio of businesses," Infosys said.
A whistleblower had alleged irregularities in the $200 million Panaya acquisition and Infosys' founders had asked the company to probe the claims. Infosys has denied the allegations.
Sikka, who joined Infosys from German software giant SAP SE in 2014, resigned last year, blaming a "continuous drumbeat of distractions" and a long-running row with the founders over company strategy.
Infosys forecast 6 to 8 percent revenue growth for the year to March in constant currency terms, which was in line with expectations, local brokerage KotaK Securities said in a flash note after the results. The forecast fell slightly short of Macquarie's expectation of 6.5 percent to 8.5 percent.
India's software services exports are expected to register revenue growth of 7-9 percent in constant currency terms in the fiscal year to March 2019, according to a leading lobby group.
Infosys also tried to cheer investors as it announced a dividend of 20.50 rupees ($0.3141) per share for the fiscal year ending March 2018 and recommended a special dividend.
The company has decided to return up to 70 percent of its free cash flow to shareholders every year in a manner decided by the board, Chief Financial Officer M D Ranganath said, adding that the company was giving $400 million to investors as special dividend immediately.
It also announced a definitive agreement to acquire U.S-based WONGDOODY, a creative and consumer insights agency.
Net profit rose 2.4 percent to 36.90 billion rupees in the three months ended March 31, compared with 36.03 billion rupees a year ago, Infosys said.
Eighteen analysts had on average expected net profit of 37.09 billion rupees, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Revenue from operations rose by 5.6 percent to 180.83 billion rupees in the quarter.
Infosys' bigger rival Tata Consultancy Services Ltd reports quarterly earnings on April 19.

Basically, GL or PL is a visual diagnosis, but the patient must be examined unclothed. However, in addition to the unusual appearance there are also other conspicuous clinical symptoms. These can essentially be traced back to leptin deficiency and ectopic fat storage. GL and PL are heterogenous in appearance – but they are always linked to a lack of subcutaneous body fat1.
Patients suspected with GL or PL may be best managed in a centre that specialises in this rare disease.

Fatalities - May 1932
Harry Cox - mechanic
Milton Jones - driver
Milton C. Jones was born August 4, 1894 in
Conwy, Wales.
Jones was involved in motor racing for many
years, but had only come to Indy to spectate for
the past three years. He was a motorcycle rider
and toured the country in a motordrome act with
his wife Molly "the Mile-a-Minute Girl." Jones
was known by the nickname "Dare Devil Jones."
He also raced cars on the dirt tracks.
In 1931, he showed up at Indy with two new
4-cylinder cars, but he let the more experienced
drivers Stubby Stubblefield and Frank Farmer
race them. Stubby finished 8th.
Jones brought his own car in 1932 and decided to
race it himself.
At 12:30p.m. on Friday May 27th, he started
his last ride, with Harold Gray as mechanic.
After a couple of warmup laps, Jones opened
up his car and was going abbout 103 mph
when he lost control coming out of turn 2. His
car dashed tail-first into the outer concrete wall,
destroyed about 15 fee of the barrier, close to
where Harry Cox was killed the day before.
The car flipped backwards into the air and
smashed down about 15 feet outside the track
in the grass, momentarily pinning both men.
The car then turned another flip-flop, throwing
Jones and Gray clear, and came to rest on it's
wheels about 40 yards from where it had left
the track.

In 1932 Harry Cox was the riding mechanic for Benny Benefield.
Both men were from Indianapolis. Cox was 28 and Benefield was
Sergeant Harry Cox was a member of the 113th, Observation
Squadron of the Indiana National Guard.
On Wednesday, May 25, the pair went out on the track to practice.
They were just starting a circuit when the accident occurred. They
were traveling at low speed.
As the car emerged from the first turn, it lost the left front wheel.
The speedster swerved into the lower retaining wall, then skidded
to the top of the curving brick surface and plunged over the outer
wall. Both men were thrown clear of the car. The car struck the
top of one tree, then fell 18 feet and crumpled against the trunk of
another.
Cox was apparently killed instantly and Benefield suffered a
concussion.
The race car they crashed in was the same car in which Joe Caccia
and his mechanic were killed in while practicing for the Indy 500 in
1931. It had been rebuilt for Benefield to drive.
Jones had raised the upper part of his body so
that he could be seen through the weeds and
implored an unidentified man running toward him,
"Help me, for God's sake please help me." He
then lapsed into a coma.
Thane Hauser, a prominent track mechanic,
muttered "Poor devil. He just drove over his
head. He almost lost his car on the previous lap.
He was driving the turn faster than he knew how."
Jones died in City Hospital at 5:30 p.m. on
Friday, May 27th as the result of a crushed
chest and internal injuries.
Gray recovered from a broken left arm,
lacerations and internal injuries. They were both
from Cleveland and had planned to have a long
racing career together.
Jones, 38, was survived by his wife Cora and
his son, Milton Jones Jr. and a brother. His
wife and son were with him when he died.
A week prior, Milton Jr, 19, was in a crash at
the speedway. Young Jones was riding in a
Milton Jones Special driven by Maurie Rose.
The car struck the outside wall on the south turn,
careened down the sloping track and skidded
several feet before stopping. Although the car
was damaged badly, neither occupant was
injured. The car was going more than 100 miles
an hour at the time.

With appeal rejected, Pennsylvania's former top prosecutor heads to prison.
Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane must serve 10-23 month sentence for leaking grand jury evidence and lying about it.
Two years after disgraced former Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane was sentenced to prison for leaking confidential grand jury documents, she is now expected to finally begin her prison sentence.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on Monday rejected Kane's last legal appeal of the decision that sentenced her to serve prison time alongside the criminals she used to prosecute. Kane now faces her original 10 to 23 month sentence on two felony and seven misdemeanor charges related to perjury, obstructing the administration of law, and engaging in official oppression.
Kane, 52, was convicted back in October 2016 for leaking confidential grand jury documents to discredit her political opponents.
But the chain of events that led to her fall from grace was set into motion back in 2014, when the Inquirer first broke the story that Kane had shut down an undercover sting of Harrisburg corruption undertaken by her predecessor, former AG Tom Corbett, without filing any criminal charges. Kane reportedly discarded the results of the sting, saying that the sting only targeted black Democrats.
Kane was so outraged by the Inquirer leak that she leaked grand jury documents establishing she had investigated the Philly NAACP's former director to purportedly prove she was serious about corruption. She was later prosecuted for leaking the documents and then lying about it. She also released hundreds of sexist, racist emails swapped by former prosecutors at her office, in the scandal later known as "Porngate."
Meanwhile, former Philly DA Seth Williams took over the sting investigation and went on to file charges against six Philly politicians, all of whom pled guilty except state rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, who was convicted by a jury last month. (Williams himself was later sentenced to five years in federal prison for corruption charges).
Kane, the first woman and first Democrat elected to the post of Attorney General, was considered a rising political star at the time of her election and even named as a potential candidate for Senate. For the past two years she has been on house arrest pending the appeals of her conviction. She was free on $75,000 bail, but after the Supreme Court declined to review her conviction, the Montgomery County DA's office said it will ask a judge on Tuesday morning to revoke her bail.
