On The Philosophers Stone
Take any herb which is potent in medicine, and either extract the tincture with spirit of wine, or distil in the common way; reserve the distilled water, or tincture, when separated from the feces, for use. Then take the feces, or Caput Mortuum, and calcine it to a calx. Grind this to powder.
That done, take the water, or tincture, and mix them together; distil again, and calcine, forcing the moisture over by a retort, in a wary process, calcining and cohobating the spirit on the salt till it attains a perfect whiteness and oily nature, like the finest alkali, commonly called Flemish.
As your salt requires it in the process, have in readiness more of the extracted tincture, or distilled spirit, that you may not work it, viz., the salt, too dry; and yet proceed cautiously, not adding too much of the moisture, so that the dealbating, or whitening, may keep visibly heightening at every repetition of the process. Frequent experiments may enable you to push it on to a redness, but a fine yellow is the best of all; for the process tends, in its perfection at this period, to a state of dryness, and must be managed with a strong fire. By following these directions, you have here the two tinctures in the Vegetable Kingdom, answering to the white and red tinctures in the mineral.
You have, by carefully following our directions above, procured the tinctures, white or yellow, in the Vegetable Kingdom. The yellow is more efficacious if the work is well performed; either of them, by being exposed in the air, will soon run into a thick, essential oil, smelling very strong of the plant, and the virtues of any quantity may be concentrated by often repeating the circulation. But you have no need of this, unless for curiosity, there being in your tinctures a real permanent power to extract the essential virtues of any herb you may require on immersion only, where the essential salt and volatile spirit, together with the sulphureous oil, are all conjoined, floating on the top of your tincture, and the terrestrial feces precipitated to the bottom; not as in distillation, or extraction of the tincture with alcohol, while the stalk and texture of the plant are entire; no, this Vegetable Tincture devours the whole substance of the plant, and precipitates only the earthy particles acquired in its vegetation, which no degree of calcination could push to an alkali, without its essential salt.
Such is the virtue of our Vegetable Tincture; and if the operation be never so often repeated with different herbs, it loses nothing of its virtue, or quantity or quality, casting up the virtues of whatever herb is immersed, and precipitating the earth as before when both are easily separated and the medicine preserved for use.
Let a medicine, thus prepared, be examined, and the principles by which it is extracted, with the general methods of preparation; if the distilled water for instance, of any aromatical or balsamic herb, be took, common experience will convince us that nothing but its volatile parts come over the head; but take the Caput Mortuum, and it will calcine after this process, and afford an alkali, which proves itself to be an essential salt by its pungency, and will, in the air, run to an oil, which is its essential sulphur. If you take the tincture extracted with alcohol, it is the same, only the more resinous parts of some herbs may enrich the extract, and the volatile sulphur giving the color and scent, be retained, which escapes in distillation; but the potent virtue or soul of the herb, if we may be allowed the expression, goes to the dunghill. It is the same if the expressed juice of the herb is used; and if taken in powder, or substance, as it is sometimes prescribed, but little of its virtue, beyond its nourishing quality, can be communicated to the patient, except as a bitter or a vermifuge, in which cases, perhaps, it is best by way of infusion.
Of the Metallic Tincture
All true philosophers agree that the First Matter of metals is a moist vapor, raised by the action of the central fire in the bowels of the earth, which, circulating through its pores, meets with the crude air, and is coagulated by it into an unctuous water, adhering to the earth, which serves it for a receptacle, where it is joined to a sulphur more or less pure, and a salt more or less fixing, which it attracts from the air, and, receiving a certain degree of concoction from the central and solar heat, is formed into stones and rocks, minerals, and metals. These were all formed of the same moist vapor originally, but are thus varied from the different impregnations of the sperm, the quality of salt and sulphur with which it is fixed, and the purity of the earth which serves it for a matrix; for whatever portion of this moist vapor is taking along its impurities, is soon deprived of heat, both solar and central, and the grosser parts, forming a mucilaginous substance, furnish the matter of common rocks and stones. But when this moist vapor is sublimed, very slowly, through a fine earth, not partaking of a sulphureous unctuously, pebbles are formed; for the sperm of these beautiful, variegated stones, with marbles, alabasters, etc., separates this depurated vapor, both for their first formation and continual growth. Gems are in like manner formed of this moist vapor when it meets with pure salt water, with which it is fixed in a cold place. But if it is sublimed leisurely through places which are hot and pure, where the fatness of sulphur adheres to it, this vapor, which the philosophers call their Mercury, is joined to that fatness and becomes an unctuous matter, which coming afterwards to other places, cleansed by the afore-named vapors, where the earth is subtle, pure, and moist, fills the pores of it, and so gold is made.
But if the unctuous matter comes into places cold and impure, lead, or Saturn, is produced; if the earth be cold and pure, mixed with sulphur, the result is copper. Silver also is formed of this vapor, where it abounds in purity, but mixed with a laser degree of sulphur and not sufficiently concocted. In tin, or Jupiter, as it is called, it abounds, but in less purity. In Mars, or iron, it is in a lesser proportion impure, and mixed with an adjust sulphur.
Hence it appears that the First Matter of metals is one thing, and not many, homogeneous, but altered by the diversity of places and sulphurs with which it is combined. The philosophers frequently describe this matter.
Sendivogius calls it heavenly water, not wetting the hands; not vulgar, but almost like rain water. When Hermes calls it a bird without wings, figuring thereby its vaporous nature, is it well described. When he calls the sun its father and the moon its mother, he signifies that it is produced by the action of heat upon moisture. When he says the wind carries it in its belly, he only means that the air is its receptacle. When he affirms that which is inferior is like that which is superior, he teaches that the same vapor on the surface of the earth furnishes the matter of rain and dew, wherewith all things are nourished in the vegetable and animal kingdoms. This now is what the philosophers call their Mercury and affirm it to be found in all things, as it is in fact.
Of the Second Matter, or Seed in Metals
[] indeed, the first principles of revealed religion are demonstrated from the whole process, for the seed of metals is shown in corruption, and raised in incorruption; it is sown a natural body, and raised a spiritual body; it is known to partake of the curse which came upon the earth for man's sake, having in its composition a deadly poison, which can only be separated by regeneration in water and fire; it can, when it is thoroughly purified and exalted, immediately tinge imperfect metals and raise them to a state of perfection, being in this respect a lively emblem of that seed of the woman, the Serpent Bruiser, who, through His sufferings and death, hath entered into glory, having thenceforth power and authority to redeem, purify, and glorify all those who come unto Him as a mediator between God and mankind.
Such being our motives, we can no longer be silent concerning the seed of metals, but declare that it is contained in the ores of metals, as wheat is in the grain; and the sottish folly of alchemists has hindered them from adverting to this, so that they have always sought it in the vulgar metals [] therein acting as foolishly as if a man should sow bread and expect corn from it, or from an egg which is boiled hope to produce a chicken. Nay, though the philosophers have said many times the vulgar metals are dead, not excepting gold, which passes the fire, they could never imagine a thing so simple as that the seed of metals was contained in their ores, where alone it ought to be expected;[]
[]we shall go on to observe that the ores of metals are our First Matter, or sperm, wherein the seed is contained, and the key of this art consists in a right dissolution of the ores into a water, which the philosophers call their mercury, or water of life, and an earthy substance, which they have denominated their sulphur.
The first is called their woman, wife, Luna, and other names, signifying that it is the feminine quality in their seed; and the other they have designated their man, husband, Sol, etc., to point out its masculine quality.
In the separation and due conjunction of these with heat, and careful management, there is generated a noble offspring, which they have for its excellency called the quintessence or a subject wherein the four elements are so completely harmonized as to produce a fifth subsisting in the fire, without waste of substance, or diminution of its virtue, wherefore they have given it the titles of Salamander, Phoenix, and Son of the Sun.
Of the Dissolution and Extraction of the Seed in Metals.
[]the mercury, which is the metallic seed, is attainable from all [metals], and is easier to be extracted from lead, which is confirmed by the true adepts, advising us to seek for the noble child where it lies in a despised form, shut up under the seal of Saturn;
[]Suppose, then, an artist would extract a mineral mercury from the ores, and chooses an ore for his subject. He can only assist Nature in the process by stirring up a central heat, which she includes in everything not already putrefied, as a root of its life, in which it is increased. The medium by which this central heat is put in motion is known to be putrefaction; but the ores of every kind are found to resist putrefaction in all known processes extant. They may, indeed, when they have been fluxed in the fire, contract a rust from the air, which is a gradual decomposition of their substance, but this is only the natural decay of a dead body, not the putrefaction of its sperm for the purposes of propagation; and we are sensible from the heat of furnaces which is required to flux the ores, and the slowness of their decay when deprived of their seminal qualities, by fluxation, that a heat which would destroy the seed in vegetables may be necessary in the first stages of putrefaction for the ores, as they will bear a red fire without being fluxed or losing anything but their sulphureous and arsenical impurities; in short, a matter in itself as much extraneous to the seed of metals, as the chaff to the wheat; wherefore, a careful separation of these by roasting, or otherwise, is deservedly reckoned among the first operations for the putrefaction of ores, and the rather because that which has been calcined, by having its pores opened, is rendered attractive, both of the air and other menstruums proper for its decomposition.
Let the artist, therefore, by fire and manual operation, separate the impure qualities from his subject, pounding, washing, and calcining, till no more blackness is communicated to his menstruum, for which pure rain water is sufficient. It will be seen on every repetition of this process, that what fouls the water is extraneous and the ore yet exists in its individual metallic nature, except it is fluxed by a too intense heat, in which case it is no longer fit for our purpose; therefore fresh ore is to be used.
The matter being thus prepared, its central fire will be awakened, if it is treated properly, according to the process for extracting quicksilver from its ores, by keeping it in a close heat, which is continued without admission of the crude air, till the radical moisture is elevated in the form of a vapor, and again condensed into a metallic water, analogous to quicksilver.
This is the true mercury of the Philosophers, and fit for all their operations in the Hermetic Art.
Of the Separation and Further Treatment of our Philosophical Seed.
The Putrefaction of our subject being thus completed, it exists under two forms; the moisture which was extracted, and the residuum, being our Philosophical Earth. The water contains its seminal virtue, and the earth is a proper receptacle, wherein it may fructify. Let the water, then, be separated and kept for use; calcine the earth, for an impurity adheres to it which can only be taken away by fire, and that, too, of the strongest degree; for here there is no danger of destroying the seminal quality, and our earth must be highly purified before it can ripen the seed.
This is what Sendivogius means when he says: Burn the sulphur till it becomes Sulphur incombustible. Many lose in the preparation what is of most use in the art; for our mercury is corrected (healed) by the sulphur, else it would be of no use.
Let, therefore, the earthy part be well calcined, and return the mercury on the calcined earth; afterwards draw it off by distillation; then calcine, cohere, and distill, repeating the process till the mercury is well corrected by the sulphur, and the sulphur is purified to a whiteness, and goes on to red, a sign of its complete purification, where you have the Philosophical Male and Female ready for conjunction.
Of the Union or Mystical Marriage in the Philosophical Process.
The seed and its earth being thus prepared, nothing remains but a judicious conjunction of them together; for it too much moisture prevails, the philosophical egg may burst before it can go through the heat necessary for its hatching. To speak without a figure. Our subject must now be enclosed in a small glass vial, made strong enough to bear a due heat, which is to be raised gradually to the highest degree: the best form for this vessel being that of an oil flask, with a long neck; but these are much too thin in substance for this operation. In such a vessel the mixture is to be sealed hermetically, and digested so long till it is fixed into a dry concretion; but, if, as we observed, the moisture should predominate, there is great danger of the vessel bursting, with a vapor which cannot be concentered by the fixing quality in the matter. The intention is, nevertheless, to fix our subject in the heat, and so render its future destruction impossible.
On the other hand, if the dry, fixing quality of the sulphur exceeds so as not to suffer an alternate resolution of its substance into vapors, and a re-manifestation of its fixing quality, by causing the whole to subside in the bottom of the vessel till the matter again liquefies and sublimes (which Ripley has well described), there is danger of the whole vitrifying; and thus you shall have only glass instead of the noble tincture. To avoid these two extremes it is very proper that the purified earth be reduced by manual operation to an impalpable fineness, and then its corrected mercury must be added, incorporating both together till the earth will imbibe no more. This operation will require time, with some degree of the artist's patience; for however the humidity may seem disproportionate, on letting it rest awhile, a dryness on the surface of your matter will show that it is capable of imbibing more, so that the operation is to be repeated till it is fully saturated, which may be known from its bearing the air without any remarkable change of surface from dry to humid; or, on the contrary, if so, the conjunction is well made, which is farther confirmed if a small portion be spread upon a thin plate if iron, heated till it flows gently like wax, casting forth the moisture with heat and again absorbing it when cold, so as to return to the former consistence; but if a clamminess ensures it is a sign you have exceeded in the quantity of humidity, which must be extracted by distilling again and repeating the process till it is right.
Your sulphur and mercury being thus united, put them into a glass vial, before described, in such a quantity as to take up one-third of its contents, leaving two-thirds, including the neck, for the circulation of your matter.
Secure the neck of your vial with a temporary luting at the first, and give a gentle heat, observing whether it sublimes and fixes alternately. If it easily sublimes and shows a disposition, at intervals, to subside at the bottom of the vessel, all is well conducted hitherto; for the moisture will first be predominant, which the sulphur can only perfectly absorb as the heat is increased for the perfect ripening of our Paradisiacal Fruit. Therefore, if it manifests a too early disposition for fixing, add more of the corrected mercury till Luna rises resplendent in her season; she will give place to the Sun in his turn. This would be the language of an adept on this occasion, only suggesting that the female quality in our prepared seed is first active, while the male is passive, and that it is afterwards passive while the male is active, such being the case in all vegetation; for every germ which is the first rudiments of a herb or tree, is predominant in moisture, and then only becomes fixed when it is fully concocted in the seed.
Of the Further Treatment and Ripening of our Seed.
This is deservedly called the Great Work of the Philosophers; and the artist having done his part hitherto, must seal up his glass hermetically, an operation which every maker of barometers knows how to perform.
The glass is then to be put into a furnace with a proper nest contrived for its reception, so as to give a continual heat from the first to the fourth degree, and to afford the artist an opportunity, from time to time, of inspecting every change which his matter assumes during the process, without danger of damping the heat and putting a stop to its perfect circulation. A heat of the first degree is sufficient at the first, for some months, in which method much time may be lost by a young practitioner, till he knows how to handle his matter from experience; but then he is not so liable to be disappointed with the bursting of his vessel or the matter vitrifying.
Of the Further Process to the Ripening of our Noble Seed.
Our vessel being warily heated at the first for fear of its cracking, an ebullition of the contained matter is brought on, so that the moisture is alternately circulated in white fumes above, and condensed below, which may continue for a month or two, nay longer, increasing the heat gradually to another degree, as your matter discovers a disposition for fixing, by the vapor continuing at longer intervals condensed, and rising in a lesser quantity, of an ash color, or other dark shades, which it will assume as a medium to perfect blackness, the first desirable stage in our harvest. Other colors may be exhibited in this part of the work without danger, if they pass transiently; but if a faint redness, like that of the corn poppy, continues, the matter is in danger of vitrifying, either from an impatient urging of the fire, or the moisture not being sufficiently predominant. An ingenious artist can remedy this by opening his vessel and adding more of the corrected mercury, sealing it up as before; but a novice would do much better to prevent it by governing his fire according to the appearances of his matter, with judgment and patience, increasing it if the moisture manifests its predominancy too long, and slacking if the dry prevails, till such time as the vapors become dark; and after they have continued for some time at rest, a pellicle or film on the matter shows its disposition for fixing, retaining the vapor captive for some time, till it breaks through at different places on its surface (much like the bituminous substance of coal in a soldering fire), with darker clouds, but quickly dissipated, and growing less in quantity, till the whole substance resembles molten pitch, or the aforesaid bituminous substance, bubbling less and less, resting in one entire black substance at the bottom of your glass. This is called the blackness of black, the head of the crow, etc., and is esteemed a desirable stage in our philosophical generation, being the perfect putrefaction of our seed, which will ere long show its vital principle by a glorious manifestation of Seminal Virtue.
A Further Description of the Process.
When the putrefaction of our seed has been thus completed, the fire may be increased till glorious colors appear, which the Sons of Art have called Cauda Pavonis, or the Peacock's Tail. These colors come and go, as heat is administered approaching to the third degree, till all is of a beautiful green, and as it ripens assumes a perfect whiteness, which is the White Tincture, transmuting the inferior metals into silver, and very powerful as a medicine. But as the artist well knows it is capable of a higher concoction, he goes on increasing his fire till it assumes a yellow, then an orange or citron color; and then boldly gives a heat of the fourth degree, till it acquires a redness like blood taken from a sound person, which is a manifest sign of its thorough concoction and fitness for the uses intended.
Of the Stone and its Uses.
Having thus completed the operation, let the vessel cool, and on opening it you will perceive your matter to be fixed into a ponderous mass, thoroughly of a scarlet color, which is easily reducible to powder by scraping, or otherwise, and in being heated in the fire flows like wax, without smoking, flaming, or loss of substance, returning when cold to its former fixity, heavier than gold, bulk for bulk, yet easy to be dissolved in any liquid, in which a few grains being taken its operation most wonderfully pervades the human body, to the extirpation of all disorders, prolonging life by its use to its utmost period; and hence it has obtained the appellation of "Panacea," or a Universal Remedy.
Of the Transmutation.
When the artist would transmute any metal --- for instance, lead --- let a quantity be melted in a clean crucible, to which let a few grains of gold in filings be cast; and when the whole is melted, let him have in readiness a little of the powder, which will easily scrape off from his "stone," the quantity inconsiderable, and cast it on the metal while in fusion.
Immediately there will arise a thick fume, which carries off with it the impurities contained in the lead, with a crackling noise, and leaves the substance of the lead transmuted into most pure gold, without any kind of sophistication; the small quantity of gold added, previous to projection, serves only as a medium to facilitate the transmutation, and the quantity of your tincture is best ascertained by experience, as its virtue in proportioned to the number of circulations you have given after the first has been completed.
For instance: when you have finished the stone, dissolve it in our mercury again, wherein you have previously dissolved a few grains of pure gold. This operation is done without trouble, both substances readily liquefying. Put it into your vessel, as before, and go through the process. There is no danger in the management, but breaking your vessel; and every time it is thus treated its virtues are increased, in a ratio of ten to one hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, etc., both in medicinal and transmuting qualities; so that a small quantity may suffice for the purposes of an artist during the remaining term of his life.

Skyfire CEO Jeff Glueck notified interested customers on the company's blog Friday.
"We are going to open batches of downloads for new users over the coming days," Glueck wrote. "The first batch will be in a few minutes on the Apple App Store. It will be first come, first serve."
The post advises users experiencing initial congestion after downloading the app to "try again an hour later" after the flood of a new batch of users has passed. New batches will be announced by the company on Twitter and Facebook, with batches expected to arrive more frequently over the coming days.
On Tuesday, news that Apple had approved the Skyfire for iPhone app spread so quickly that, when Skyfire was released on Wednesday, the company was forced to pull the app just 5 hours. After the app mysteriously disappeared from the App Store, users expressed concern that Apple had removed it, but Skyfire clarified the situation with a post to the company's blog.
"We are effectively 'sold out' and will temporarily not accept new purchases from the App Store," read the post.
Skyfire for iOS, which is actually "a tool that works on top of mobile Safari," converts Flash videos on the web to HTML5 on its own servers, then sends the video to its browser app. The app does not work with the TV streaming site Hulu or Flash games, which require interactivity.
The Skyfire Flash workaround could be a boon for iOS users, though a recent study showed that HTML5 adoption has increased, reducing the need for an iOS-based Flash solution. According to MeFeedia, as of October, 54 percent of H.264 video on the web is available for HTML5 playback, compared to just 10 percent availability in January.
Starting with the MacBook Air, Apple began shipping its Macs without Adobe's Flash plugin installed, ostensibly to ensure that users get "the most up to date and secure version," which they will have to download from Adobe directly. After Ars Technica's MacBook air battery tests with and without Flash installed revealed a 2 hour drop in battery life when surfing the web with Flash, speculation arose that battery performance was also a factor in Apple's decision to ship the MacBook Air without the Flash plugin installed.
Apple and Adobe have been at odds with each other this year, with the company's CEOs engaging in a heated war of words. Apple CEO Steve Jobs published a letter blaming Flash as the No. 1 cause of crashes on the Mac. Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen responded that the fault lies with "the Apple operating system."


So here's what I'm probably going to do when Sony announces its next-gen console: I'm going to buy a PS3, buy all the HD collections and marathon through them. They're going to be super cheap, and they're a great way to revisit franchise, and Okami could be the latest to the HD collection treatment.
Andriasang reports that a PlayStation 3 version of the PlayStation 2 classic is coming, which would be no surprise because Sly Cooper already got the high definition treatment, and that was from the PS2 era. It's going to be called something like Okami Zekki-ban, which very roughly translates to Okami Magnificent Version which sounds something like a HD collection. I doubt that's the final title.
Game Jouhou, the Web site that reported on the news, isn't 100 percent confident of the source's information so Andriasang is treating the information as rumor. Famitsu usually announces the HD collections, and Andriasang reckons an announcement would arrive today or tomorrow. As of writing Famitsu hasn't announced anything, so we'll have to keep our ears close to the ground.
Okami originally released for the PS2 in 2006, and was one of the first games to use the hand drawn art style that look great on hardware that was relatively limited. The game released on the Wii in 2009 as a remake, and an original title released for the Nintendo DS in 2010.
Sony is doing a great job with the HD collections, because people who were firmly put off by the PS3's high price and lack of third-party competition compared to the Xbox 360 can get epic trilogies for discounted prices. And actually, Sony has done everything it needed to make the console competitive: it reduced the price, introduced the Slim mode, released great first-party titles such as Uncharted: Drake's Deception and made PlayStation Plus relevant. I mean, getting games for free is good but when you're getting games such as Far Cry 2 for free then it's hard to say no. This is the service that no-one understood just a few months ago.
So stay tuned for announcements.
The enhanced edition of the Doom series aka Doom 3 BFG is coming this October, and we're slightly deflated.
Microsoft is offering a very striking, and very different Windows 8 tablet, the "Surface" has many cool features.

MMDA gets highest COA rating after 45 years
by Jel Santos
For the first time in 45 years of the agency's existence, an "unqualified opinion," the highest audit rating from the Commission on Audit (COA), was given to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) for fairness of presentation of its financial statements for the fiscal year 2019.
According to MMDA Chairman Danilo Lim, this was an acknowledgement of COA for the reforms he instituted from his first year in office.
It validates the agency's commitment to promote a more prudent and transparent spending of public funds, he added.
"The unqualified opinion obtained by the MMDA means that we have successfully met the requirements of the auditors. We are now reaping the fruits of the reforms we have made since our first day in office. We are very grateful to COA for recognizing this more than two years after," the agency's chairman said.
The Commission's unqualified audit opinion is issued when auditors, after thorough examination, concluded that the government agency has fairly and appropriately presented all pertinent documents, without any identified exceptions.
MMDA General Manager Jose Arturo Garcia also lauded the performance of its officers and employees, particularly those at the Finance and Administrative Service, for attaining this significant and historic achievement.
"This achievement would not have been possible if not for the dedication and hard work of our Office of the Assistant General Manager for Finance and Administration, headed by Assistant Secretary Romando Artes, in terms of ensuring that MMDA's financial records are compliant to all accounting rules and principles," said Garcia.
With the acknowledgement from COA, Lim vowed to continue reforms and services especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This family-run domain extends over two sites in the heart of Valpolicella Classico: four hectares in Negrar and six of the highest hectares in the appellation, at 400 metres altitude, in Fumane. The wines are outstanding and the reputation of the Acinatico name is growing all the time. Modernity is balanced by earth and roses, so characteristic of the terroir. Best of all, the wines are accessible when young, so there is no need to wait. In 2010, the vision of a new cellar was realised, in the higher part of Accordini's vineyards, and has allowed the family to realise their highest ambitions for their wines.
Amarone Acinatico is produced from the best selection of grapes from Bessole and Cavalo vineyards, after the drying process which takes 120 days before it spends time ageing in oak barriques. Only specially selected grapes are used to make this wine.
During the first week of January crushing of the grapes takes place without de-stalking. Fermentation is then carried out at temperatures between 12°-23°C. It is macerated for 35 days (of which 15 is cold maceration). The wine is hand pressed twice a day, It is then transferred into barrels at the end of May. Complete malolactic fermentation then occurs. The wine is aged in new French oak barriques, from Allier and Never, for 24 months. The wine will then spend 8 months in bottle. It is bottled without any use of filtration.
This Amarone has a great structure, is complex, elegant and velvet-like. The colour is deep garnet red with a bouquet which is complex but warm, with spicy notes and has the aroma of dried fruit. On the palate it is full bodied, rich and creamy with smooth tannins.
The grapes were crushed and de-stalked before the fermentation process began. The fermentation took place at temperatures between 25°C - 28°C. The wine was macerated for 12 days with hand pressing taking place three times a day. The wine was then kept in stainless steel tanks where complete malolactic fermentation was allowed to occur. The wine was then aged in bottle for 2 months before being released for sale.
The Accordini Valpolicella Classico is an deep ruby red colour with hints of violets. The nose abounds with very intense fruits of the forest, cherries and raspberries. At the start of the palate there the wine is full flavoured but this is balanced with soft and elagant tannins. Hints of spices integrate with flavours of mature fruits.
The Accordini Valpolicella Ripasso Acinatico undergoes re-fermentation and a second maceration with daily mixing for 10 days over the Amarone and Recioto grape skins. As they are still mildly sweet, they enrich the body of the wine alongside the colour, bouquet and alcohol content. The The wine is the aged in Slovenian oak barrels and barrique for 12 months. It is this contact with the wood that gives the Ripasso its fresh hints of mature fruit, spices and tobacco. It is then bottled and is left to mature for a further 6 months.
This wine has a strong ruby red colour. The aromas are intense yet subtle with hints of spices and vanilla. The flavours are warm and full bodied with traces of dried fruit that are reminiscent of Amarone. It is great when served with all types of meat, but roasts, stews and mature cheeses are particularly good matches.
Palazzo della Torre covers 26 hectares of east-facing vineyard planted between 1962 and 2013, situated 240 metres above sea level. Allegrini purchased this vineyard in 1978. Soils are cretaceous and calcareous, with Pergola Trentina trained vines planted at 3,000 vines per hectare.
2015 overall climate and weather pattern were particularly beneficial for the physiological equilibrium of the vines. The high temperatures recorded throughout the Valpolicella in July did not prevent the different varieties from ripening in perfect health. The harvest, which began in early September, took place in ideal conditions due to the total absence of rain. 2015 promises wines with intense aromas and good balance of acidity.
Franco Allegrini used the modern version of the traditional 'ripasso' technique for Palazzo della Torre, drying a proportion of the grapes in the 'Terre di Fumane' drying centre, to intensify the character of this vineyard. The grapes that were dried were hand picked at the beginning of September, and the grapes vinified immediately were picked at the end of the month. 70% of the grapes picked were vinified immediately and 30% were left to dry until the second half of December when they were vinified and then refermented with the wine from the fresh grapes. The wine spent 15 months in second-use barriques, and was blended together for two months, then aged for a further seven months in bottle.

But here we are, so let me explain Mr. Robertson's attempt to inject himself into the grown-ups debate about checks and balances, accountability and why our government so often fails to serve the public good.
What is the Legislative State?
On Thursday, Rep. Micah Caskey announced that he and 25 of the other 34 freshman legislators wanted to call a state constitutional convention for the purpose of abolishing the Legislative State.
A constitutional convention is a tricky matter, which we'll get back to in a moment. But as I have written for two decades, and more learned policy wonks have been advocating since at least 1945, we absolutely need to end the legislative hegemony that makes the governor and the judiciary subservient to the General Assembly.
The system was designed by the colonial slaveowners to keep the royal governors in check, and refined by Ben Tillman to make sure the state's white minority maintained control over its then-black majority.
We absolutely need to dismantle the form of government that was designed by the state's colonial slaveowners to keep the royal governors in check, and refined by Ben Tillman to ensure that the state's white minority maintained control over what was then its black majority. The government where everybody's in charge, so nobody's in charge … so there's no way to hold anybody accountable for anything that goes wrong. The government that results in our state being last on so many lists where we want to be first, and first on so many lists where we want to be last. The government, as Mr. Caskey told me, that brought us schools that aren't educating our kids as they should and an economy that's only bouncing back in a half-dozen counties and political corruption and of course that whole V.C. Summer nuclear mess.
Since Mr. Caskey and many of the cosponsors are Republicans — and party apparatchiks on both sides are incapable of thinking much deeper than culture-war issues — the Democratic Party director ignored the clearly explained purpose of the legislation and fired off a news release declaring it an "effort to discriminate against women permanently." He later told The Associated Press he meant that the goal was to put an abortion ban into the state constitution, even though surely even he knows that a state ban on abortion would be laughed out of court, since the U.S. Supreme Court considers that a federal matter.
Most of our state's first-term legislators have decided that South Carolina's biggest problem is that the Legislature has too much power.
It was reminiscent of and about as honest as the charge by Ms. Templeton that Gov. Henry McMaster signed the "largest tax increase in modern history." By which she eventually had to admit she meant he signed a really expensive bill to bail out the state pension system — which did not raise any taxes.
At least when House Democratic Leader Todd Rutherford denounced the restructuring plan, he was honest enough to say he doesn't think governors need any more power. Which might make sense if they had more power than the Legislature. But they don't. They don't have anywhere near as much.
The executive branch of government is still divided among nine separately elected officials (soon dropping to … seven) and dozens of unaccountable, part-time boards, some appointed by the Legislature and others still effectively controlled by the Legislature. And the Legislature controls who can run for judicial positions and then elects the judges, for fixed terms so they have to get legislators' blessing every few years to retain their positions.
It will not pass this year, it may never pass, and I'm not certain that it should ever pass.
After the protests from party leaders, one Democratic House member withdrew as a co-sponsor of H.5043; four others kept their names on it, along with 13 Republicans; five Republicans and one Democrat introduced the companion S.1069 in the Senate. One Democrat and one Republican on Mr. Caskey's original list of supporters never signed onto the bills.
I give you these details because what's significant is not the legislation itself. It will not pass this year, it may never pass, and I'm not certain that it should ever pass, because I'm not sure anyone can control even what is discussed at a constitutional convention.
They have concluded that the problem is so dire that it warrants the most radical solution they can think of.
If they succeed, we won't need to take a chance on a constitutional convention, because the Legislature will make the changes itself.


Welcome to zenAud.io's Community Board.
Tell us a bit about yourself, your hopes and dreams?
My name Francisco Gonçalves Silva.
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and decided to exchange the Iberian warmth for more exciting endeavors in Central Europe.
I live in Berlin and i'm in charge of Marketing and Media at zenAud.io.
I've worked all around: biotech media and event production, among the usual student jobs in bars and cafés.
I'm also a music journalist for The 405, a U.K.-based music and culture magazine.
I'm Aurelius Prochazka. I'm a framework programmer of AudioKit (http://audiokit.io) and a guitarist / aspiring drummer. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
I'm using ZenAudio.io ALK for practicing cover songs, composing my own music, and performing in a couple of weekly music get-togethers ("bands" of a sort). Let me know if you're also in the bay area and maybe we can play together.
I really believe in the core guiding principles that Martin has built in to ZenAudio.io ALK. I hope to be an integral part of this user community for years to come and I look forward to meeting you all.
I'm Martin Percossi. I'm a nerdy musician who likes to build fun things! I live in Berlin with my daughter, Lua, son, Alex, and girlfriend, Joanna.
My first musical experience was playing for The Chemical Blondes, a band which rocked Smoke on the Water like... like a high-school band with a 12-year-old on rhythm guitar The fun I had in that band (and chance to hang out with the cool kids) left me hooked for life on the joy of making live music.
After finishing my degree I worked as a developer for 10 years. It was a nice job, but I was continually drawn back into the world of live music. Living in London's Notting Hill area, I played a lot of pub gigs and was plugged into the singer-songwriter scene, as well as playing in another band, The Signals. In 2009 I decided to take the plunge into the creative music world, and moved to Berlin to play in various bands and musical projects.
It was the breakup of one my main band, Shake it or you Lose, that prompted the idea for zenAud.io ALK and brought me back to coding as a day job. Quite simply, the band split up, and I reformed a smaller unit with the drummer of SIOYL. The idea was: small is beautiful (and less arguments!). But we had a serious problem: we wanted to achieve a similar sound to what we had in the prior incarnation of the band -- and we didn't want to abuse playback. It was due to my struggles with various DAWs and looping tools that I came to ask myself why there wasn't a tool that let me do what I wanted to do directly.
And that brings me to ALK. I've been working on this app for 3 years, and it's basically my baby I'm really loving combining my two passions, music and computer science... and I hope it shows when you use the program.
PS. You can check out the music I wrote on soundcloud.
Aurelius, thanks for joining us!
And also for your incredibly helpful bug reports and feature requests... thanks to Aurelius the audio import functionality has made huge progress in the latest release.
Hi - Ian here. Been a pro musician for almost all of my working life, but the last eighteen months has seen me transition to full-time author, writing SciFi for the Kindle. I'm trying to get my head around music as a hobby rather than a living, but 30 years of playing and singing to put food on the table gets in the way. I find myself using ipad more than my mac, as it's quick, some of the apps are incredibly musical, and it's an exciting platform. I thought ALK looked like a great match for ios, and Martin and Fransisco obviously agree, as they have plans for an ios version next year. At this rate, I'm so busy with the books that the ios version may be the first chance I get to play properly with this great-looking software, although I have bought the desktop version too. Maybe I'll get a free weekend, clear the desk and have some fun!
Anyway great to have you here, Ian!
I'm Jason Cowling. I've been making music for 2 years now. As a kid I learned assembly language because my parents got me an Atari 2600, which came with Asteroids, Combat, and a Cartridge called "Assembly Programming." That was back around 1981. By about 7th grade I got bored with programming, and turned to literature and philosophy, which I took my Bachelor's in. Not wanting to sell candles and incense for a living, I fell into cybersecurity, initially technical, but later moved into public policy, governance, protocols, platform economics and the like, eventually at Carnegie Mellon. I had always wanted to make music, but it wasn't until 2 years ago I was able to turn my full-time attention that way.
So I've found much joy in music, each day I wake up inspired to learn more. I've really enjoyed the community, and found some good use in writing manuals, beta-testing, and consulting on platform adoption for a good many.
I was drawn to ALK's underlying philosophy - which suits me for its dynamism, modular, performative aspects. I'm working with AI tools like Tensor Flow & Magenta. I'm also especially interested in AOIP, and have recently moved my studio to an all ethernet Audio/Midi setup using Dante and AVB.
Thanks for joining us! You have quite an interesting background!
Hello. I'm David Scarth. I'm a bass guitarist and composer living in the UK. My musical interests are diverse, from Rock to Jazz to Classical to Electronic Music. I've been doing Live Looping for a while using Ableton Live and am very interested in ALK because it seems to do very easily a technique that took me years to perfect in Ableton. If anyone's interested, I have a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/scarthfilm) where I do live looping and also explain my Ableton technique. When I get up and running with ALK, I'll probably do some videos on that too.
Hi everyone, I'm Alexis and i live in France north of Paris. I'm singer and guitar player, I do play piano and i'm originally drummer which is my first instrument. I started when I was 8. I create my own music I also have a band called Short Way Off (we have a Facebook page if you wanna check it out). We have an auto product EP of 5 songs and we are about to make our first album with Y'a Comme Un Lézard production. I'm now trying to make music (and what's around) my only job since this year.
Here I am because I have a personal solo project and i will use a looper. First i used a pedal (voicelive3 to be precise that i had already) but i changed my mind because i was limited in my creation. So i'm now trying to use zenAud.io. I bought (and broke my piggy bank ) a new computer because my old one was not able to do the job if you see what I mean and also ALK. I m full of motivation and looking forward to use it and perform. But to be honest i'm a total beginner with music assisted by computer (we say MAO in french). So you know a little bit of me now, don't worry I have a lot of questions coming.
Welcome Alexis! Happy to hear that you're excited about ALK.
Hello everyone. I'm George, a musician and web developer from Bristol, UK.
I play guitar and the kora (a type of harp from West Africa), and love music from all around the world. I've been attempting to get a live looping show together for a long time, but always become quickly bored of the arrangement limitations of pedal loopers, not to mention the amount of foot pedal pressing when you factor in an effects unit too.
So ALK2 is a major revelation for me... it's pretty much exactly what I need!
I hope to share some of my progress soon.
My name is Kirk Long, born in California, lived in $ilicon Valley all my life.
I'm a synth guitarist, fan of Digitech guitar fx, Roland guitar synths, TC Helicon voice fx, interested in stereo and quad panning fx and visual fx..
A little planning could go a long way where you show up with a laptop, a couple of 6 in one LED wash lights (r,g,b,amber, wht, and UV wash lights and 6 in 1 moving heads can be had on ebay for under $100 ea now) and a video projector for wall or ceiling..
I've come a long way since putting a coffee can light with red gel on one side of stage, a blue gel light on other side and it looked way better than most coffee house or dive bar stage lighting at the time.
I'm waiting for a windows version of ALK.
I'm Giulia, 22 years old from Italy.
I am a poly-instrument player and singer. I started a project called "CapGirls". We have a YouTube Channel and we also play live concerts.
We are only two girls in the band, so during the live we felt the need to have something in loop, but with different logic for each instrument track. Fortunately, we have discovered ALK2 and we just fell in love.
Looking foward to use ALK2 during live performances.
My name is Man in a Loft and I'm a musician, producer and dj who loves food.
I just became aware of ALK and thought I'd stop by and check it out! I'm curious! It might be the first video review I record ever in life on The Blog!
It seems really cool.. I just wonder if it can also have backing tracks... And... if it's MPE ready.
Welcome to the zenAud.io community site. To answer your questions, yes its very easy to use a backing track in ALK. Simply drop the audio file into the arrangement and a new audio track is created automatically. And yes we support MPE.
My name is Elijah, I'm a performing artist, producer, songwriter originally from Oakland, Ca now based in Los Angeles. I'm an avid Ableton guy for production and writing etc but noticed it's limitations with live/fluid performances. I've been putting together a small, "one man band" type of thing for my new Ep and Ableton wasnt cutting it. I also wanted to get out of that ecosystem for the live show and see if it opened any new doors. ALK was a very interesting prospect and I've been spending a bunch of time with it. So far it's been a good experience! Cheers to all the developers, designers and community contributors!
Hi Everyone! I'm a composer in Texas. My current project is my one-woman tango music performance under the name Skull Witch. I haven't been this excited about software since I started using Ableton! ALK2 is exactly what I've been searching for to use in live performance. I'm excited to get my arrangements going and to upload some performance videos. Nice to meet all of you and big thanks to the zenAud.io team!

Excellent my dear Deltafan,many thanks.
what was this real French airplane (not Project) ?.
It does appear, Hesham, that all four of those illustrations came from my post on another forum (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?17-The-Ongoing-Mystery-Aircraft-Thread-Part-Deux/page452) and assuming that is where you found them, you might have had the courtesy to mention as much and give credit to the source! Oh and this aeroplane also was known as the Marais-Lauret Ailette.
I just don't remember the source.
I think the magazine spelled the name of the designer wrong,it was Vinet.
Another Vinet plane from "Aviation magazine"
Many thanks my dear Toura.
FWIW, in my files this is named the "Vinet monoplan 1911 Type D."
here is a Colliex-Janson experimental seaplane of 1914.

Kicking off Pride Month, local theater company University Wits stages production of LGBTQ comedy "Jeffrey."

Set to open at Dog Story Theater on the first evening of Pride Month this year, is the University Wits' production of "Jeffrey" by Paul Rudnick. In the play, originally published in the early 90's, Rudnick delivers to his audience a comedic farce that deals with the realities of the AIDS virus, homophobia, and the chance for love between two men. The production is staged by The University Wits, a local theatre collective of Grand Rapids.
The story follows Jeffrey, a promiscuous gay actor/waiter, who has sworn off sex after too many bouts with his partners about what is "safe" and what is not. Suddenly, just after he's reconciled himself to celibacy, Jeffrey's flamboyant friends introduce him to the man of his dreams, who also happens to be HIV+positive. What follows is an audacious and moving romantic comedy with a difference—one in which the quest for love and really fabulous clothes meet, and where unflagging humor prevails even when tragedy might be just around the corner.
Shane German, the stage director for this production says, "I think it is always important to remember our LGBTQ History. To reflect on a time when medical advancements in HIV research and medicine were not as they are today. It was a completely different time in the 80's and early 90's, and it's important to remember how far we have come. Ultimately, Jeffrey is a story about taking chances, finding love and living life to the fullest, even if death may be around the corner." Shane German is also a frequent performer to the stages of Grand Rapids in many roles including shows such as: "Torch Song Trilogy," "Ragtime," "Cats," "Boardwalk Blues," "Beauty and the Beast," and more.
The cast includes performances by: JJ Lindke, Devon Jordan, Matt Hartman, Tony Peraino, Vidal Thomas Sanchez IV, Ricardo Tavarez, Matthew Swartz, and Claire Mahave.
Rudnick's script was adapted for the screen in 1995 and included critically acclaimed actors like Patrick Stewart and Sigourney Weaver. University Wits brings this same story to life again on the stage of Dog Story Theater in downtown Grand Rapids, June 1-3 & 8-10. "Jeffrey" is recommended for mature audiences, dealing with adult themes, language, and mild nudity.

Kabir Singh Box Office: Movies Between 200 Crores & 300 Crores This Shahid Kapoor Film Will Challenge!
The movie has crossed the 120 crore mark domestically and it's trending fair at the overseas box office.
The 'Kabir Singh' storm isn't going to settle down any time soon at the box office. The movie made an entry in the 100 crore club in just 5 days, which is a huge achievement for Shahid Kapoor and team. The movie has crossed the 120 crore mark domestically and it's trending fair at the overseas box office.
It has been surrounded by controversies because a certain section of the audience didn't agree with the treatment given to Kiara Advani's (Preeti) character in the film. After the out-of-the-world trending, Kabir Singh is now challenging major biggies in India.
From here Kabir Singh's entry to the 200 crores is totally possible, but let's take a look at the movies between 200 crores – 300 crores which could challenge this Shahid starrer. Movies like Happy New Year (205 crores), Golmaal Again (205.72 crores), Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (207.40 crores) and Bharat (209.36 crores) are under the danger-zone of Kabir Singh.
Kabir Singh: Not 1 Or 2, But It Beats 16 Movies In The List Of All-Time Highest Grossing Hindi Movies!
Kabir Singh Vs Bharat Day Wise Comparison: This Shahid Kapoor Starrer Has Turned The Tables On Salman Khan!
It could challenge Shah Rukh Khan's highest grossing film Chennai Express, which stands at 226.70 crores. It's surely difficult but looking at the surprises the movie has been bringing in, this is possible. Salman Khan's Kick stands at 233 crores and Ranveer Singh's Simmba is at 240.22 crores, Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 (240.50 crores), Uri: The Surgical Strike (243.77 crores) and Dhoom 3 (280.25 crores) are the films from which Kabir Singh could fall short.
Kabir Singh, which also stars Kiara Advani, is a remake of the popular Telugu hit film Arjun Reddy that originally starred Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey. Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, Krishan Kumar and Ashwin Varde, the film opened on June 21. The remake is written and directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. It is a T-Series and Cine1 Studios presentation.

Authorities in Ghana should immediately investigate the killing of journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale Divela and ensure that threats against the press are taken seriously, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
Two men riding a motorcycle shot and killed Divela, a member of Tiger Eye Private Investigations, an investigative journalism outlet led by Anas Aremeyaw Anas, as he was driving in the capital, Accra, yesterday, according to media reports and a video posted on Twitter by Anas. The journalist had told CPJ in September 2018 that people had attempted to attack him and that he feared for his life after a politician made comments about him on TV.
Divela worked on several investigations with Tiger Eye Private Investigations, including a June 2018 documentary "Number 12," which investigated alleged corruption in African soccer, according to a report by the BBC.
In the documentary, Kenyan then celebrated referee Aden Marwa was exposed receiving $600 (Sh60,000) as a bribe.
Marwa who was set to officiate at the Fifa 2018 World Cup which kicked off on June 14 in Russia before being dropped.
Marwa was one among dozens of referees in Ghana and across Africa secretly filmed taking bribes or gifts from uncover journalists.
On May 30, 2018, Kennedy Agyapong, a member of parliament from the ruling New Patriotic Party, threatened and encouraged violence against Divela for his involvement in investigative reporting on corruption in Ghanaian soccer during an appearance on the national television channel Net 2 TV, which Agyapong owns, according to broadcast footage and reporting by CPJ.
Previously, in a May 29 appearance on the privately owned Adom TV, Agyapong had chastised Anas and his investigative journalism, then dragged his finger across his throat while making a choking sound.
CPJ's repeated calls to Agyapong today went unanswered.
In September 2018, Divela told CPJ that he believed powerful figures in Ghana sought to harm him.
David Senanu Eklu, assistant commissioner of police and director general for public affairs and communications at police headquarters in Accra, told CPJ today that detectives from the criminal investigation division have started an investigation.
Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo posted on Twitter today that he expected the police to swiftly bring the perpetrators to justice.
Anas, from Tiger Eye Private Investigations, told CPJ that he was "deeply saddened" by Divela's killing, but he will continue to report on corruption. "Come what may, we will never stop," he said.

Q: bash: Extract with regex only the domain names from a text file I'm trying to extract with regex only the domain names from a text file.
OS: Ubuntu
grep -oP '(?<=display_url":")[^"]+' /tmm/script/string.txt

test7.com\/WRlklv5ir4Y
test8.com\/r\/IBlkO\/com6ents\u2026

My command (which does not return any result)
grep -oP '(?<=display_url":")[^"]+' /tm/script/string.txt | grep '(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9]'

The desired output:
test7.com
test8.com

A: You should probably use the fact that domain name is the first thing on the line and separated by something like
cut -d/ -f1

Your data seem a little more messy than a plain url, so maybe tr -d '\\' or something alike will be needed.

Next generation to lead Koppert
Koppert Biological Systems will be welcoming the next generation of leaders for the first time in over twenty years. CEOs Paul Koppert and Henri Oosthoek and CFO Robert Pathuis of the biological crop protection company will hand over the reins on 1 January 2022, after which the five other board members will be in charge of the family company.
René Koppert has been appointed CEO, Joram Oosthoek will become CFO, Martin Koppert will become Chief Business Officer (CBO) for agriculture, René Ruiter will be CBO for horticulture, and Peter Maes will become Chief Strategy Officer (CSO).
"As a family business, we are focused on the long term and think in terms of generations. We will continue to create the company's future together, to safeguard our core values and – above all – to continue to work towards our vision and make a positive impact on agriculture," says the future CEO, René Koppert.
Paul Koppert, Henri Oosthoek, and Robert Pathuis will step down from their day-to-day management duties but will continue to support the company in strategic matters and special projects. In cooperation with former board member Peter Koppert and board adviser John Budé, a supervisory board will be formed in the near future. This newly formed supervisory board will assist the board in achieving the ambitions of the family business.
Koppet has offices in thirty countries and a turnover of around €300 million, so the succession within the family business has been carefully prepared. New members joined the board in 2018, bringing the total number to eight members, in order to transfer responsibilities in a natural way and to safeguard experience, continuity, and customer interests.
Paul Koppert, Henri Oosthoek, and Robert Pathuis look back with gratitude at how the company has developed in the past half-century: "We're immensely proud of our employees and grateful for the trust of our customers. They are the reason our company was able to grow from its status as a pioneer to bringing our natural solutions in 100 countries nowadays. For more than fifty years, we have been researching, formulating, and introducing biological solutions that have been available to us since their creation."
"What has made Koppert successful is our pioneering spirit, long-term vision, and the perseverance of the people who believe in our mission to improve the health of people and the planet in partnership with nature. With the same dedication, we will continue to work towards our ultimate goal: 100% sustainable agriculture and horticulture worldwide," says Henri Oosthoek.

Japanese centenarians are examined in the BBC documentary "Living to 101".
The longevity lifestyles of American, Sardinian and Japanese centenarians are examined in the documentary "Living to 101" by BBC Horizon.
This documentary mostly covers the healthy lifestyle factors of Japanese centenarians, specifically Okinawan longevity. It's fairly well done for the most part. They also look at the blue zones of Sardinia Italy and the city of Loma Linda California. Interviews with the various researchers who are studying these regions are also conducted.
Many Japanese elders were filmed who are part of the Okinawa Centenarian Study. It makes for a fascinating look at how these people live day to day. However, I found certain biases in what the filmmakers chose to focus on, especially with the Sardinians. I would like to emphasize that a more accurate representation of this culture was given in the book "Blue Zones" by Dan Buettner. He looks at all of their healthy lifestyle factors, not just diet and genetics.
The BBC seems to give the impression that the Sardinians eat a lot of meat since they happened to be filming them during a large family party or festival... They also seem to over-emphasize their gene pool as being the cause for their long lives. In reality, Dan's research found that they really only eat meat once or twice a week (such as during big social occasions) and engage in other factors of longevity unique to their culture that shows that lifestyle really is the key to longevity in humans.

Generating a floorplan requires a lot of decision making, and it begins with diluting exactly what your demands are as a individual and as a family group room. Are you really an entertainer expecting frequent large groups or is your fast family a lot more than numerous enough to fill all the distance you have? Trying to keep your floor-plan on budget, functional and attractive should be the sequence in that you consider what is right for the home.Paul Gilbert Home Designs You shouldn't be scared to get outside to a expert for an advice and also to seek out a floorplan which you may tweak to make your personal. Many generic floor plans are intended to inspire you to eventually visualize the one you find as your home . Great luck! Mature domiciles are notorious for segregating rooms predicated on their intended intent. Modern-day domiciles want to get an open theory that shy off from the historic thought of formal lean and dining towards having a usable distance which accommodates all of thebusy lives engaged in a family group .Paul Gilbert Home Designs By knocking down walls that are generating barriers at the house, you will not only allow additional lighting to infiltrate places that used to be corners, but will also establish a space great for socializing and entertaining.
