PerlMonks is a community website covering all aspects of Perl programming and other related topics such as web applications and system administration. It is often referred to by users as 'The Monastery'.
The name PerlMonks, and the general style of the website, is designed to both humorously reflect the almost religious zeal that programmers sometimes have for their favorite language, and also to engender an atmosphere of calm reflection and consideration for other users.

Users (referred to as monks) create discussion topics which other monks can reply to and vote as good or bad. Users have an experience rating (XP) that roughly measures their participation in the PerlMonks website as perceived by the other monks, not necessarily their proficiency in the Perl language. All monks have a 'home node', providing profile information and an area for Monks to personalize.

Notable members include the creator of the Perl language, the authors of several well-known Perl books
and the authors of numerous CPAN modules. CPAN authors frequently promote and provide support for their modules
at PerlMonks.

Features
The site has tutorials, reviews, Q&A, poetry, obfuscated code, as well as sections for code snippets and entire scripts and modules.

Generally, the section of the site with the most traffic is Seekers of Perl Wisdom, where users of all experience levels ask Perl-related questions.  Some questions are from beginners trying to understand the basics of the language, while others are from seasoned veterans looking for methods to improve upon algorithms or to optimize performance.  Those who provide answers are also of varying experience levels.

Much of the site's content consists of specific code examples.  Some of these examples are for Perl's core features, as documented on the official Perl documentation website (http://perldoc.perl.org).  Other examples are for the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN), which is a repository for Perl libraries (known as modules) that are not part of the core Perl distribution.

The code that the site runs on is a much hacked fork of an early version of the Everything Engine and was created by Nathan Oostendorp as part of Blockstackers Intergalactic — the firm that also ran Slashdot. As a result, PerlMonks has many features in common with both Everything2 and Slashdot like its strong emphasis placed on user feedback.

Another feature that PerlMonks retains from Everything is the Chatterbox, which is a text chat area at the side of every page. Logged-in users can type in anything they want, and it appears for all users to see. Talk in the chatterbox is often Perl related, and various tools (written in Perl) have been written to improve the chatterbox experience. Some come to PerlMonks primarily for the chatterbox. Others find the chatterbox distracting and turn it off.

Sticker Shock: An Electric Car Could Soon Be as Cheap as Your Gas Guzzler
Posted by Andrew Tarwerdi 615sc on April 09, 2015 · Flag
TakePart | April 9, 2015 | Column by Jessica Dollin
The future of EVs is bright thanks to the declining cost of batteries.
Unlike the Energizer Bunny, battery-powered electric vehicles don't keep going and going and going.
One of electric cars' biggest drawbacks is their limited range—the high price of lithium-ion batteries has left manufacturers trying to balance the line between affordability and functionality. Each extra mile of range means more battery power, resulting, for instance, in a near-six-figure sticker on Tesla Motors' 265-mile Model S.
But there's good news for those thinking of ditching the fossil fuels. New research shows that the cost of lithium-ion batteries is declining, which means the price gap between gas guzzlers and electric cars could narrow.
The cost of lithium-ion batteries declined 14 percent a year between 2007 and 2014, researchers Måns Nilsson and Björn Nykvist of the Stockholm Environment Institute found in a recent study. These types of batteries, which make up about one-quarter to one-half of the price of electric cars, used to cost $1,000 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
Today, market-leading electric vehicle manufacturers are using battery packs that cost around $300 per kWh—below projections on what batteries would cost by 2020.
"The cost compared to conventional cars is disappearing," Nilsson said.
The rapid decrease in battery costs could bring about an electric car revolution sooner than anticipated, and that would be welcome news for smog-choked cities.
Between 1980 and 2012, 80 percent of carbon emissions in metropolitan regions came from vehicles, according to data compiled by Boston University researchers.
A dense population means dense emissions, but expecting all cities to have efficient public transportation is impractical, according to Sam Sturgis of CityLab. And with more Americans living in cities, electric vehicles could help urban dwellers stem the increasing carbon emission tide in their communities.
But even with the price of electric cars becoming less of an issue, other challenges still exist.
"At the moment, the biggest barrier is consumer experience and being exposed to this new type of car," Nilsson said.
For an early success story, Nilsson cites Tesla, which regularly outsells top models from Mercedes and other luxury automakers in California.
The company started by creating an expensive sports car that happens to be electric, and then made the cheaper, albeit still pricey models. The forthcoming 200-mile-range Model 3 is expected to sell for $35,000. Chevrolet, meanwhile, announced last year that by 2017 it would bring to market a $30,000 (after tax rebates), 200-mile-range car called the Bolt.
Nilsson said people used to think that electric cars were only for geeky, environmentalist types. "They've shifted the narrative around electric vehicles and made it cool to own a Tesla," he said. "I think five years from now there will be a commercial breakthrough."

IMC Northern England
Letter to local groups
In which we apologise for the shortcomings of imc-uk, describe our plan to improve things, reaffirm what indymedia should be about and ask for their support
Subject: A message from Northern Indymedia
Greetings from Northern Indymedia¶
This is an open letter to grassroots activists in the North of England from the Northern Indymedia collective, also known as IMC (or the Independent Media Centre of) Northern England. You have received this email either because you have previously had contact with Leeds/Bradford or York Indymedia or you have been recommended to us as a group we would like to help provide independent media coverage for. We're sorry if you get it more than once. Please help us to distribute this email to any others you feel may find it of interest.
What is Indymedia supposed to be?¶
For those who are unsure of what the Indymedia project is, here's a very brief run-down.
Indymedia was founded in Seattle in 1999 to provide independent and accurate coverage for activists who would be protesting at the WTO summit. The failings of the mainstream media were as obvious then as now – vested interests with elite groups, corporate ownership and corrupt professional journalism meant that groups such as yours may never have their campaigns represented in an accurate way if at all.
By using open publishing newswires where anyone can easily publish their news and collectively run, non-heirarchical local media centres, Indymedia has spread across the world and is now in it's tenth year of providing a media voice for activists.
In this country, there are many IMC's (independent media centres) across the country, organised into what is called the United Kollectives (UK). This was an experimental way for local activist news to reach a national audience and so inspire others to take action. The closest UK IMC's to your group were until recently IMC Leeds/Bradford and IMC York, which have now merged into IMC Northern.
What have been the limitations of IMC-UK?¶
Northern IMC have asked ourselves why so many of the radical actions and initiatives we hear about through our friends go unreported on imc-uk, of which our old website was part. More to the point, we asked lots of local activists like yourselves. Despite its achievements, not many of you were happy with the way imc-uk works and we've listened to a great deal of criticism and ideas for how it could be better, along with the many things you like and and would like to see made more prominent.
These are the things that you said you wanted, but didn't get from our current site within imc-uk:
A website that's easier to upload photos, video and files to
An open collective that you can get involved in
A transparent, consensual process
Training on how to write reports
Regular face-to-face meetings
Less centralisation / being told what you can & can't do by people you've never met
A calendar where you can publicise events yourself
Editorial open-mindedness
Some of us have put a lot of effort into trying to get these things to work within the existing imc-uk structure (we even hosted a meeting for the UK indymedia network last October). Unfortunately we've not been able to make much progress, because there isn't a functioning collective process. It's not a decision we've taken lightly, but we've decided that the time has come to set up our own autonomous IMC that can deliver what you want. This is a route that's already been taken by imc-scotland, imc-bristol and imc-london.
How we're going to change things¶
To re-establish trust and participation in the Indymedia project in this region is a serious challenge. Thankfully, much of the hard work has already been done. For the last year, the newly reformed imc Leeds/Bradford collective have been working to build an effective media centre which can provide coverage for groups such as yours.
Through regular meetings, skillshares and outreach work talking to various groups in this region, we have reached a point where we can begin to take more confident steps in a positive direction. Primarily, this means moving away from the UK and all the baggage it carries, towards a truly autonomous independent media centre which puts the local activists and groups we provide coverage for at the very heart of the process at every stage. We are reorganising ourselves as "IMC Northern," a deliberately vague term so as to include anyone in tiny areas as much as in the big cities in the region. By "tagging" your articles when you publish in our newswire you will be able to provide your locality, no matter how remote, with your own local newswire alongside regional and global news, with your own web address to direct people to.
The new site we are building will allow campaign groups to have their own area of the site to collaborate on news articles and events announcements. It will be easy to upload photos and videos to the site of actions and posters for events. Also, we will always be open in our process and ready to listen to any ways we can improve our coverage.
How you can help¶
Above everything else, the most important part of this process is you. We are sending this email to invite you to get involved (as an individual or a group) and help to build a resource which is to the benefit of all grassroots activists in our region, whether campaigning for animal liberation, radical social change, anti-capitalism, anti-racism, disability rights, climate activism, anti-militarism or anything else which will make our world a better place. We exist solely to give you a louder voice.
The main way you can help us is by writing reports for the newswire of actions and campaigns you are involved in, no matter how small. We are particularly interested in giving a voice to those who wouldn't get any coverage elsewhere.
Also, we are a collective and so if you would like to get more directly involved with imc Northern (all of the current members are activists with other campaigns as well) there are a number of ways you can do this. You will find our main collaboration tools at we.riseup.net/imc-northern and you could join our low volume mailing list at imc-northern@lists.indymedia.org. The best way by far though is to come to our meetings which are advertised on our site and on the mailing list. We are commited to hold meetings all over our region so if your group would like to host one, please contact us via the mailing list.
And finally…¶
To end on a very practical note, we are happy to announce the Northern Indymedia Art Uncompetition. We'd like people to send us graphics we could use on the new site, particularly a logo and a banner (those are the bits at the top of each page). For the logo, we'd like it to reflect a positive aspect of northern culture married with the "(((i)))" symbol. For the banner, it might be a collage of photos from actions (help yourself from the old website), an original piece of graphic art, or whatever you want really. It's an uncompetition because nobody loses – everyone's ideas will be valued – and as everything submitted to us has to be free for others to re-use, we might end up with a mash-up of different submissions. Send your ideas to the email address below.
In solidarity

phew i was writing this on my phone and the battery died just as i clicked submit. Lucky it made it through.
I realised there's a bit of a paradox if we are to include replies on the supporting groups bit of the form as this letter assumes we've already submitted it.
Maybe if we include groups we are involved with ourselves on that it will be enough with an explanation of how we are doing outreach to others. Also, we need to put together a list of addresses here to send this letter to. Assuming the commonplace announce list is a good start as that will reach a lot of people, and i'll start asking groups i meet on my wanders for a contact address if they're ok with that. I could start a wiki in the closed area where we can aggregate a contact list? Or should we ask for a dedicated list on aktivix or something so it's less visible?
This is brilliant. I realise that's not contributing anything as such…busy busy busy…
You typed all that on a phone? Thumbs on fire dude!
There's a bit in here that contradicts what we say in the new-imc form, for which we need to find a form of words that we can use in both places: We say here 'the UK experiment has failed', but on the new-imc form we say something to the effect of 'complimenting' the city-based IMCs…
ok how about adding a line to this letter along the lines of whilst we continue to support and hope to compliment those imc's in the UK that are still run through a collective process and engage positively with local activist groups, we feel we would create something better for our region by setting up as a brand new imc.?
We support all other IMCs that are genuinely run in accordance with the principles of unity by a collective, but we've observed that the network of local groups that make up IMC-UK doesn't always run on these lines, so we are making something better for our region.
Any more offers?
Looks good to me, I'll add it in.
OK. do we have some idea of how we will send this out?
this has been up for a while now. Can i suggest a 48hr deadline for any further changes before we start sending it out. We could do with some way of keeping track of who we have sent it to already so it doesn't look like we are spamming local networks. Maybe we could use a task list for this. Ie add the name of the group it has been sent to and tick it to indicate some kind of reply? I'd suggest not making that publicly visible for obvious reasons. Any objections? If not, i'll start up the list and we can begin sending it out on tuesday :-)
(provided we have had a reply from listwork by then about changing the name of the mailing list to imc-northern that is, otherwise as soon after we get confirmation of that as possible)
ch ch ch ch changes as Bowie would say
I've made quite a few so please check I haven't ballsed it up
hehe love the uncompetition! Bluepetermedia! Why wasn't that proposed? Have we heard anything back from listwork yet? Maybe we should hassle them in irc a bit? Is it possible to get a redirect from the old leeds and york lists to the new one as well?
Jen Claptrap
re: people we could send this to in Bradford, I have lots swimming in my brain, but Protag will probably out do me…grrr!
I think it's really important to send it to people like Briefing Bradford as well as all the obviously anarchist hangouts like 1in12 and Treehouse and to some extent the Resource Centre.
So I'm just going to type them all now because otherwise i'll forget;
The Equity Centre
Briefing Bradford
Community Repaint
Bradford Mind
Evolving Minds
Eight Nozzled Elephant food co-op
1in12
The Bradford Playhouse
the animal rights group in Bradford who exist but i am yet to meet
The Cellar Project [??]
Desmond Tutu House
Yorkshire CND
BIASAN
McKenzie Friends
Student union women's forum
Bradford STAR
Commonweal Library
ok i think i'm done…
OK. We have our new lists and so we can send this out now. I'm putting a draft letter to our existing list together now which should go out just before we send it so that they hear about the new lists first. I'm setting a 24hr deadline for any changes to that so then we can send this and the new imc form out at the same tim unless there are any objections?
OK time to crack on I reckon as the letter about the new lists has been sent today. we need to be fairly organised in how we do this so we don't send multiple mails to the same lists/groups. We can use the tasklist marker set up but need to make sure we tick them off as we send them :-)
I've tweaked the wording a bit, to reflect the things that other people asked us for, so it's clearer that the direction we're taking is a response to the needs of our community. I hope that will deal with some of the questions that have been asked about this draft in other places. FWIW, I don't think anyone's sent it out to local groups yet.
this is great! it shows we have listened to the concerns of the uk and that we are focusing on those in our region. We really ought to be sending this out as soon as possible so it can be circulated as far as possible before the big switch on! Any volunteers that aren't going to be pissed in a field watching billy bragg next week :)
i still hold that backwards mentality that a letter is a real piece of paper, but i'm assuming we're going to send this electronically?
i'll start on a contacts list now then we can jsut press the 'Go' button and it will be done, hurrah!
Hi Jen & everyone,
We've already got a list of email addresses – I'll send you a link to it – let's stick with one list so we don't hit the same people more than once.
The idea was we could send a slightly customised version of the letter to each group, according to their particular make-up & interests, rather than just one email addressed to lots of groups. Apart from the benefits of a personal approach, lots of email lists automatically reject messages of which they're one of several recipients.
I'm going to start sending stuff out tomorrow – hope you can too. Go agitprop!
i've added some emails… i added the ones that were easy to get/i already had first. so i have a bit more work to do.
it seems the deadline is passed, from above comments… did the letter already go out? if it is to be sent again, when is the next deadline?
thanks – ana
Dropped in a couple of changes as a compromise to some of the critisism we've been getting from the global network, mainly making sure we are consistent using IMC Northern England (I know…) in official documents and added a sentence to say we recognise there are good things brought about by mir, and we are expanding them and making them even better. though it's late, i'm tired and my battery's running out so I haven't done much zzzzz can someone working on the "sending out" stuff get back to ana asap please :-)
Love you all xxx
I was going to send this to the list but then I read the thing about "low volume mailing list", so keeping it here for now.
Ok, reading the document carefully. I have major problems with the following sentences:
In this country, there are many IMC's (independent media centres) across the country, organised into what is called the United Kollectives (UK).This was an experimental way for local activist news to reach a national audience and so inspire others to take action. The closest UK IMC's to your group were until recently IMC Leeds/Bradford and IMC York, which have now merged into IMC Northern.
This "was"? So in one sentence you have just wiped out the whole network. Nice. Not. Your sentence is inaccurate and misleading. It makes it look like the network doesn't exist any more.
The second part about Leeds/Bradford – well, it still exists in the uk mir site, so it is another misleading statement.
Some of us have put a lot of effort into trying to get these things to work within the existing imc-uk structure (we even hosted a meeting for the UK indymedia network last October).
I would like to see more of that "lot of effort". I.e, was hosting a network meeting that lasted one single day, as opposed to the full weekend that these gatherings usually take, all action you took in order to change the code of imc uk (which is what would be necessary to improve msot of the shortcomings you cite of imc uk)?
because there isn't a functioning collective process
this is absolutely misleading. I would point to the different wiki pages where the different processes are explained but I would have thought that people in this collective would have take the time to have a read through?
…but we've decided that the time has come to set up our own autonomous IMC that can deliver what you want. This is a route that's already been taken by imc-scotland, imc-bristol and imc-london.
I would only be happy with the inclusion of imc-london in that sentence. bristol had a separate website with their own system before imc-uk moved to mir from active. the reason why they chose that route was not to "deliver what you want" as opposed to a mir site that "doesn't deliver", as you imply here. And the reason for imc-scotland to have its own site was, as i understood, nationalism, again not delivery of something.
To re-establish trust and participation in the Indymedia project in this region is a serious challenge.
Wow. I'm not sure if I want to ask some kind of evidence of this cataclysm. But surely if the lack of trust has happened in "this region" surely the collective operating in "this region" could take part of the responsibility too?
Primarily, this means moving away from the UK
If I am to take JimDog's word for it, you need to change that to "from the uk imc site currently running on MIR".
(help yourself from the old website)
can you please provide a link to the old dysfunctional site ;)? I 'm sure it can still handle picture downloading, for all its shortcomings :p
Right, I've sent loads of these out this afternoon, all with slight modifications according to target group. Also I made some changes to account for some of ana's comments, as discussed elsewhere.
Can someone else please do the rest of the mailouts please? You can see which ones I've ticked off from the 'list of local groups' document.

Overuse injury
Inside our long impulse to banish trendy words
By Jan Freeman
For pop-language watchers, January marks the end of the words-of-the-year ritual that has so far given us refudiate (New Oxford American Dictionary), austerity (Merriam-Webster), and spillcam (Global Language Monitor). On Friday, members of the American Dialect Society will meet to consider the likes of vuvuzela, halfalogue, and gleek for spots on its 2010 list.
Not all the annual wordfests, however, are celebratory. Since 1976, Lake Superior State University in Michigan has been issuing a list of words and phrases to be banished "for mis-use, over-use, and general uselessness." And though it's hardly shocking to find that a list of peeves predates the more dispassionate collections of recent years, it made me wonder: How did word-hating become a game all Americans could play?
It all began, apparently, in the second half of the 19th century, when newspapers first compiled lists of taboo words for their own use. Journalists, of course, do have to follow house style and to avoid words their bosses deem "overworked." It's not clear that the average citizen has to be quite so vigilant, but usage advice was a booming genre at the time. Editors, teachers, and opinionators of all stripes found an audience eager to hear their rules and prejudices.
And once the notion of "overworked" words had spread, it was a club any writer could wield. Between 1890 and 1920, the Google News archive reveals, words accused of overexposure included crank, very, negligible, obsession, detachment, uplift, efficiency, classy, service, and the headline standbys rap, assail, attack, and flay.
In the 1920s, absolutely, dynamic, modern, and propaganda all made someone's "overworked" list. In the '30s, sophisticated, contact (the verb), definitely, and gargantuan got the label. In the '40s, memorable, divine, critical, and priority were worn out; in the '50s came fabulous, cozy, thrill, and moderation. And in the '60s, glamour, breakthrough, and significance were called overexposed.
Some of these words no doubt were fads in the writer's own field — sports, fashion, politics, diplomacy. But not necessarily; if you wanted to denounce obsession as overused a century ago, or critical in the '40s, who could contradict you? There was no online corpus to check; if the reader hadn't noticed, he could only conclude that he wasn't as observant as the writer.
And that brings us to the second problem with all these "overworked, overused" judgments. In many cases, they're mere excuses — not for banning a word but for using it, just this one special time. For instance, in The Saturday Evening Post, in 1920: "The overworked word 'thrilling' seems to belong here." Or in the Chicago Tribune, 1939: " 'Gay' and 'charming' are overworked words but they must be used again to describe the...flower show." Or The New York Times, 1964: " 'Brilliant' is an overworked word but it must be applied...to the premiere of 'Don Rodrigo.' "
This rhetorical feint has been noted, of course, and is banned (theoretically) in the better journalistic neighborhoods. Apologetic asides like "to coin a phrase" are "manifestations of intellectual pride," said John Bremner in his 1980 writing handbook "Words on Words." What they say is "Look, I'm using a cliché, but I want you to know I know it's a cliché."
Labeling a locution "overworked" is shady in the same way: At one stroke, you condescend to others who employ it, blame lesser writers for having worn it out, and still enjoy the convenience of using it yourself. It's a neat trick, pretending you haven't actually "used" that hackneyed expression. But after 150 years, the ploy itself may be getting a bit threadbare.
TROLL AND TROUBLE: On the third day of Christmas, my head still echoing with carols, I realized my earworm had ambiguous lyrics: Was I supposed to troll or toll the ancient Yuletide carol?
I guessed troll, because it seemed too strange to have been made up. Troll is indeed the word, and it is strange, the Oxford English Dictionary confirms: It's "a word or series of words of uncertain origin, and of which all the senses do not go closely together." They aren't kidding: It means to "saunter about," to "cruise" for pickups, to roll or spin, to fish, and to ring a bell in "a recurring cadence of full, mellow tones." And, yes, to sing "in the manner of a round or catch; to sing in a full, rolling voice; to chant merrily." So bells and voices have both been trolling for some 400 years.
Long before they trolled, though, large bells could be tolled, or made to "give forth a sound repeated at regular intervals." Add the recent verb troll meaning "post provocative comments online" — linked to troll "to fish," but also, as a noun, understood as a relative of the (unrelated) word for a Scandinavian imp — and it's no wonder people might decide they'd rather toll or trill or just plain sing that Yuletide carol. Fa la la! (Next year: Deck the hall, or deck the halls?)

About the Bars
Glacierfire Cognac XO
Volcanised Cognac XO
Crafted using the Icelandic glacial water filtered by the belly of the great volcano and a blend of Extra aged Cognac of up to 20 years made from 95% Ugni Blanc & 5% Colombard French Grapes.
THE SOURCE OF THE COGNAC
A small batch slow fermented 20 year old blend crafted from the finest hand selected grapes from the Cognac region of France and 5000 year old Icelandic glacial water naturally filtered by volcanic lava. Harmonised. Refined.
Our water used to make the cognac is sourced from the Bláfjöll Ranges; the secret behind every precious GlacierFire product. For more than 5000 years, this spring has provided abundance to its every visitor, shielded by an impenetrable barrier of lava.
The spring is continuously replenished by rain, show and melted ice from the mighty mountains that pepper the area.
These waters come from the numerous glaciers in the south west of Iceland, especially the famous, Eyjafjallajökull, which is know for its eruption in 2010 that caused total aviation disruption in Europe.
Ultra smooth, yet conceals a tantalizing hint of fire to allure even the most refined palate. It exemplifies the ultimate combination of exceptional ingredients presented in an exquisitely designed decanter. An extraordinary extra aged cognac experience..
DISTILLED TO PERFECTION
Unrivalled quality and consistently exceptional taste. Crafted from the finest nongenetically modified Ugni Blanc & Colombard Grapes blended with the finest Icy cool, Icelandic glacial water.
Distilled to perfection, with a clean crisp, authentic Cognac taste. Pure, Extra Aged, French Oak, Unadulterated.
Distilled with our proprietory blend of ingredients to recreate original Cognac Grape notes, perfected by volcanising it with Icelandic Glacial Water. Starts with a tantalizing hint of fire, and leaves a lasting impression of pure smooth luxury.
Epically Bottled & Certified
Reykjavik water from springs originated from the Bláfjöll ranges, collected and processed in state-of-the-art processing facilities to create this special product in the distillery.
THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Cognac, named after the city of Cognac, is produced in the Charente and Charente-Maritime departments in southwest France. The region is just north of Bordeaux and has the Atlantic Ocean to its west. The region is divided into six zones: Grande Champagne (thought to produce the best Cognac, with a soil similar to the Champagne region in northeast France), Petite Champagne, Borderies (which is where the city of Cognac is located), Fins Bois (meaning fine wood), Bon Bois and Bois Ordinaire.
THE GRAPE
Ugni Blanc is the main grape used to produce Cognac, though a number of grapes like Folle Blanche and Colombard may be used. Ugni Blanc is a hearty and high-yielding variety that produces wines of high acidity, qualities that make it ideal for Cognac. The grapes are harvested by machine, typically at the end of September or beginning of October.
Once the grapes are harvested and pressed, the juice undergoes fermentation. The resulting wine is dry, high in acidity and 9% to 10% alcohol. This helps to preserve the desirable fruit and floral tastes of the grapes in the final Cognac.
The wine goes through two distillations, a process that runs from November to March. By French law, distillation must stop at midnight on March 31st. Using large copper stills, the wine is heated to the temperature at which alcohol vaporizes. The alcohol in gas form travels through the neck, turning back into liquid when it reaches the cooling tank. The resulting liquid is called "le brouillis," and is between 25% and 30% alcohol.
The second distillation is called "la bonne chauffe," which translates to the good heating. The distillation process is repeated with the brouillis. The resulting liquid is separated into three parts: the head, the heart and the tails. The head is the first liquid that collects in the cooling tank and it is set aside. The heart comes next, and is the eau de vie that will be blended and aged for Cognac. The tails come last, and are often mixed with the head and distilled again. The heart is clear in color and approximately 70% alcohol. At this point in the process the liquid is called eau de vie, meaning water of life. Though the liquid is not drinkable, it is possible to determine that the eau de vie retains the fruit and floral essence of the grapes.
THE BLENDING AND AGEING
Before an eau de vie becomes a Cognac, it is blended and aged. French oak barrels are used to impart color and flavor. Over time the eau de vie goes from clear, to golden yellow, to amber, to brown. Varying levels of toast on the barrels influence the flavors. Large barrels called "foudres" are used for blending the eau de vie. These barrels can last for 100 years. Smaller barrels are used for aging the eau de vie. The maître de chai or cellar master oversees all steps of the blending and aging process, ensuring quality and consistency. Over time the alcohol level of the ageing eau de vie must be brought down from 70% to 40%, the lowest legal limit for Cognac. This is done with Icelandic Glacial Water.
GLACIERFIRE COGNAC
Cognac is a variety of brandy named after the town of Cognac, France. It is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of Charente and Charente-Maritime. It is most commonly made using Ugni blanc grapes.

Cadwalader Assesses Impact of Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, one of the world's most prominent law firms, today released a legal review of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Cadwalader's analyses, drafted primarily as a guide for clients, has been widely requested and distributed within the legal and financial community and is being made available to the public today.
"Under the Dodd-Frank Act, all financial institutions will be directly and materially affected - but in a myriad of different ways. Non-financial institutions that use regulated financial products will be indirectly affected. The Act's amendments to Sarbanes-Oxley and broad changes to executive compensation and corporate governance rules will impact all U.S. public companies. Given the scope of the Act , it is important for those affected by the changes in law to have available to them an analysis of how the Act affects their specific businesses. We are past the point that general overviews of the Act are useful. Clients need focus. and synthesis," stated Steven Lofchie, Co-Chair of Cadwalader's Financial Services Department.
The compendium of memos that comprise the review now available includes focused analysis on key aspects of the Act including: Changes to the Regulation of Banks, Thrifts, and Holding Companies; Regulation of Systematically Significant NonBanks; Orderly Liquidation of Financial Companies, including Executive Compensation Clawback; Hedge Fund Regulation; Insurance Reforms; The New Scheme for the Regulation of Swaps; Regulation of End Users of Swaps; Reforms to the Asset-Backed Securitization Process and the Regulation of Credit Rating Agencies; Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance Provisions; Amendments to SOX.
"The ultimate requirements of the Act are still unformed as we await regulatory action. Many open issues must be addressed in the adoption and implementation of regulations under the Act or in further amendments to the Act" stated Lofchie.
"There is strong demand for substantive insight into the effect that the Dodd-Frank Act will have on individual businesses in the financial services industry. Cadwalader memoranda do not simply explicate the legislation, they analyze the impact on these businesses. The memoranda should be read by all who are grappling with its consequences," stated Christopher White, Chairman of the Firm."
The compendium and a library of additional analysis is publicly available at www.cadwalader.com.

Major plans to transform Tamworth town centre revealed
Tamworth was awarded £21.65million from the Future High Streets Fund to develop a town centre that meets the needs of 21st century shoppers, residents and businesses
Daniel Newbould
An impression of how the new Tamworth College could look.
Get the latest news from Tamworth straight to your inbox
Ambitious plans to transform Tamworth town centre as part of a 'once in a generation' opportunity have been revealed.
We reported at the start of the year how Tamworth was awarded £21.65million from the Future High Streets Fund to develop a town centre that meets the needs of 21st century shoppers, residents and businesses.
Now BirminghamLive can reveal proposals include:
Relocating Tamworth College on the site of the Tamworth Co-operative Society building in St Editha's Square.
Improved entrance between the town centre and the Castle Grounds - demolishing the building currently occupied by Nationwide.
Improvements to Middle Entry.
Transforming St Editha's Square into a multi-purpose events space.
Development of new affordable and flexible space for smaller, independent hospitality, leisure and retail businesses.
Restoration of heritage features and buildings so they can be brought back into use.
More affordable office space.
Leader of Tamworth Borough Council, Cllr Daniel Cook, said: "This is a great step forward and will see a fundamental change to our town's reputation and offer.
"In 2019 we ran the campaign – Tamworth What's Next? ". This was a full consultation exercise with residents, businesses and the voluntary sector in regards improving the town centre and evolving it into a 21 century destination of choice. I stood in front of those who responded and promised I was pinning my name to finally getting the town centre going again.
"I'd again like to thank the hundreds of people who filled out a survey, commented on social media or attended a session in the council chamber on this. That feedback was key to this bid and the proposals submitted."
Donate money or a laptop for kids who need them
With schools closed due to Covid-19, thousands of children in Birmingham are in need of laptops to continue their learning.
They are falling behind in their studies through no fault of their own - because they are unable to access lessons being put on by schools.
BirminghamLive is supporting efforts, through the Digital Education Partnership, to raise funds and laptop donations to support pupils and get them learning again.

Cllr Jeremy Oates, Tamworth Borough Council's Cabinet member for Growth and Regeneration, said: "We know the high street has to change and adapt, and if it all goes to plan, this project, together with the redevelopment of the Gungate precinct, will deliver on many of the themes Tamworth people told us were most important to them.
"It's said 'build it and they will come', and this is the desire as the council has no control over which individual businesses or retailers come to the town - that's determined by the public via their spending profile – but we will do everything we can to create the best conditions for new businesses and entrepreneurs.

"We hope this plan will go a long way to transforming Tamworth town centre. We've shown the Government what our ambitions are and we've been allocated the funding.
"We have already delivered on the Enterprise Centre redevelopment and the Assembly Rooms refurbishment and we're also getting ready to seek public feedback on plans for the Gungate redevelopment too, so it really is full steam ahead in transforming Tamworth with a brand new vibrant town centre that is back at the heart of the community."
Cllr Jeremy Oates.
Key to the transformation is the ambition to bring Tamworth College into the heart of the town centre. The proposal is for a brand new state-of-the-art college building to be built on the site of the 1960s part of the Tamworth Co-operative Society building in St Editha's Square. It would bring around 1,500 students, staff and visitors into the town centre and allow for additional courses and has potential for ground floor space to be used commercially for service-based education in areas such as food and drink and hair and beauty.
The locally-listed part of the department store, fronting onto Colehill, would be protected and turned into new affordable office space.
Claire Boliver, chief executive principal at South Staffordshire College, says: "Our ambition to bring Further Education into the town centre would bring economic and social benefits to the community as well as an exceptional learning environment for the development of the workforce of the future. The central location would make the college's high-quality courses and apprenticeships even more accessible to people from across the region.
"Our focus is on 'careers not courses' which means we don't just teach courses - we help local people get the skills required by local employers. With the new proposed location, our ambition is to help more businesses to fill their skills gaps, and get more local people into their dream careers, whatever their starting point."
Tamworth College.
Tamworth Co-operative Society's chief executive Julian Coles added: "Tamworth Co-op has been at the heart of the town since 1886 and our history is an integral part of the town's rich heritage.
"While we are often confused with being part of a vast national chain, we are proud to be a truly local and independent organisation. We are one of the last few remaining local and self-governed retail co-operatives in the country.

"Therefore, of course there will be great sadness in leaving our iconic building, but we need to continue to develop and adapt to a fast-changing environment. We are in good financial shape and continue to invest locally in our family of businesses, with our latest purpose-built convenience store opening in Dordon in August 2020. We have, however, long highlighted the Colehill operation as being our most challenging trading area.
"Department stores were failing, even in large cities with high footfall, but we persevered with ours, years after others in neighbouring towns had closed their doors. We will now concentrate fully on our vibrant food and funeral divisions, as well as on our commercial property assets.
"We have many things to consider, such as the future location of our administrative offices. Our immediate concern, however, is to liaise closely with our staff and also our concession partners who will be affected by this development. We will do everything we can to ensure the best outcome for them all. We are looking to redeploy colleagues to other parts of the business and will assist our commercial partners in finding alternative premises in the town centre.
"While there is still much to be worked out, this is a very ambitious scheme for Tamworth and one which I and directors fully support. This is undoubtedly a most exciting development for local people. It will re-energise the town centre."

There are also plans to turn St Editha's Square into a new multi-purpose social space that could be used for a wider variety of entertainment and events. The proposal is to demolish the building currently occupied by Nationwide and create a new entrance to the Castle Grounds in place of the current narrow wooden bridge.
This would include opening up the ancient herringbone Castle Wall. The 16th century listed buildings next to Nationwide would also be sympathetically restored and brought back into use.
Mandy Beech, Nationwide's Branch Director, said: "Nationwide has made a pledge that it will not leave any town or city without a branch until at least January 2023. We're committed to providing our members in Tamworth with the best possible service and are working with the council on their plans.
"As the proposal means we will need to vacate the building where we're currently based, we will be seeking a new location for our branch in Tamworth and we look forward to updating our members as these plans develop."
Tamworth Borough Council is also working with the owners of Middle Entry to explore opportunities for improving the site to tie in with the new St Editha's Square and Castle Gateway. Options being looked at include opening the area up, for example by removing the roof, and the potential provision of affordable and flexible space for new retail and leisure businesses, which could also be used for events and other activities.
While the funding has been allocated in principle, all the projects will now be subject to contracts, design work, planning permission and further consultation.

Ravel maintains importance of campaign finance reform
By ANIKA LANSER AND RHYS JOHNSON

After witnessing this year's presidential race, few deny existing fundamental problems of money and politics. To many, the 2016 campaign has cast a light on the glaring need for campaign finance reform and have brought the issue to national attention. One of the leading figures in the struggle for reform is Commissioner Ann M. Ravel of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), who spoke about the issue in a lecture sponsored by Democracy Matters and the Political Science and International Studies Departments on Monday, April 5.
Ravel hails from California, where campaign finance reform promptly became a staple issue of her rising career. She worked as the Chair of the California Fair Political Practices Commission beginning in 2011 until transitioning to the FEC in 2013. In her time as Vice Chair and subsequently as Chair in 2014 and 2015, respectively, Ravel primarily worked to regulate the impact of campaign financiers and lobbyists on federal elections and addressed ethics and conflicts of interest regarding those elected to office and public employees.
The effort to reform campaign funding, though now an issue at the forefront of the ongoing election cycle, has only recently entered the progressive activist agenda. Democracy Matters Co-President Sophie Gonsalves-Brown '16 explained in an emailed statement, "The media, candidates for President and other elected office, and the public are talking about money in politics to an unprecedented degree." Although the issue is well-documented, it is new to many social justice campaigns. As Ravel noted, "84 percent of Americans of all political parties say that money has too much influence in our political system, but many of those think nothing can be done about it…"
The figure suggests that awareness of the role that super PACs and dark money play in elections is as widespread as the problem itself. Many, however, remain disillusioned with the system and pessimistic towards potential solutions. Ravel also discussed the degree to which these issues plague the campaign finance sector. "Unfortunately we're seeing in our election today that something like 40 percent of the contributions that are given, it's estimated, are dark money. That is they are not being disclosed, so nobody knows who the source of those contributions is," Ravel explained.
This is just one aspect of a larger condition in which the FEC is unable to regulate campaign donations. Ravel said, "We're in a situation now at the Commission where for any issue that has any major consequence in the election today, we are unable to enforce the law at all, because there is a group of commissioners who act as a block and they can always impede any activity on any of these significant issues."
As Ravel pointed out, this nationwide phenomenon itself implicitly contributes to the severity of the issue, as political participation rests at the heart of the potential to create change. "What's happening is that the disaffection is becoming exacerbated because people aren't voting," she remarked. "People aren't contributing, and so the ability to change the dynamic is more problematic if that happens. And also…it is then more difficult for the poor, middle income or minorities or women to get elected to office, because there are so few people who can afford to run for office."
Democracy Matters Co-President Sam Beckenhauer '18 agreed that campaign finance reform may indeed be a necessary building block towards progress in other social causes. "I hope that campaign finance can serve as an umbrella under which all of the issues we care about can be resolved. Our voices as students have been muted due to the corrosive influence of money in politics," he wrote in an emailed statement. For Beckenhauer, Ravel's experience at the FEC is important to understand the ways in which money in politics impacts whose voices are heard. He continued, "Structurally changing how government operates will lead to different policy results. The wealthy understand this best. That is why they lobby and donate to get the results they want."
This election cycle, organizations with chapters at colleges and universities nationwide, like Democracy Matters, have helped to propel the issue into the national spotlight. Executive Director of Democracy Matters Joan Mandle '66 commented, "This is a critical time for our movement to reach out to the general public and demonstrate that there is hope that change can occur."
Mandle went on to express satisfaction at the growth of such movements here on campus. "[Democracy Matters] at Vassar is raising consciousness about the damaging effects of big private money in politics and mobilizing students to join with others in the growing movement to create a financing system for campaigns that can create a democracy of, by and for the people, not the big funders."
According to Ravel, signs of progress can already be seen, as proposals with newfound potential to address campaign finance reform begin to gain traction. "There are a few pieces of legislation that Congress can vote on that will do a great deal to regulate campaign donations and to increase transparency in where candidates and elected officials' money comes from," Gonsalves-Brown explained. "Bills like the Government for the People Act (introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD)) and the Fair Elections Now Act (sponsored by Sen. Durbin (D-IL)) would go a long way towards improving the system."
In fact, the campaign finance reform movement has also manifested more locally in the work Democracy Matters is currently doing for the surrounding City of Poughkeepsie. Beckenhauer explained, "Democracy Matters has been in contact with the Poughkeepsie City Council to pass legislation on the amount private contractors can donate and receive contracts in return."
Whether or not the budding campaign finance reform movement will amount in substantive change is yet unclear. In spite of such uncertainties, however, Ravel maintained that an active optimism will be an essential tool in the arsenal of those seeking to promote justice. "There are a lot of ways of participating, making your voice heard, talking to Congress and encouraging others to also become active," she remarked. "If we're all participating and making our opinions on these issues known, [change] can be engendered. There's no question."

No. 8. The thoughts to be brought under regulation; as they respect the past, present, and future.
If the most active and industrious of mankind was able, at the close of life, to recollect distinctly his past moments, and distribute them in a regular account, according to the manner in which they have been spent, it is scarcely to be imagined how few would be marked out to the mind, by any permanent or visible effects, how small a proportion his real action would bear to his seeming possibilities of action, how many chasms he would find of wide and continued vacuity, and how many interstitial spaces unfilled, even in the most tumultuous hurries of business, and the most eager vehemence of pursuit.
It is said by modern philosophers, that not only the great globes of matter are thinly scattered through the universe, but the hardest bodies are so porous, that, if all matter were compressed to perfect solidity, it might be contained in a cube of a few feet. In like manner, if all the employments of life were crowded into the time which it really occupied, perhaps a few weeks, days, or hours, would be sufficient for its accomplishment, so far as the mind was engaged in the performance. For such is the inequality of our corporeal to our intellectual faculties, that we contrive in minutes what we execute in years, and the soul often stands an idle spectator of the labour of the hands, and expedition of the feet.
For this reason the ancient generals often found themselves at leisure to pursue the study of philosophy in the camp; and Lucan, with historical veracity, makes Cæsar relate of himself, that he noted the revolutions of the stars in the midst of preparations for battle.
Stellarum, cœlique plagis, superisque vacavi.
I trace the planets and survey the skies.
That the soul always exerts her peculiar powers, with greater or less force, is very probable, though the common occasions of our present condition require but a small part of that incessant cogitation; and by the natural frame of our bodies, and general combination of the world, we are so frequently condemned to inactivity, that as though all our time we are thinking, so for a great part of our time we can only think.
Lest a power so restless should be either unprofitably or hurtfully employed, and the superfluities of intellect run to waste, it is no vain speculation to consider how we may govern our thoughts, restrain them from irregular motions, or confine them from boundless dissipation.
How the understanding is best conducted to the knowledge of science, by what steps it is to be led forwards in its pursuit, how it is to be cured of its defects, and habituated to new studies, has been the inquiry of many acute and learned men, whose observations I shall not either adopt or censure: my purpose being to consider the moral discipline of the mind, and to promote the increase of virtue rather than of learning.
This inquiry seems to have been neglected for want of remembering, that all action has its origin in the mind, and that therefore to suffer the thoughts to be vitiated, is to poison the fountains of morality; irregular desires will produce licentious practices; what men allow themselves to wish they will soon believe, and will be at last incited to execute what they please themselves with contriving.
For this reason the casuists of the Roman church, who gain, by confession, great opportunities of knowing human nature, have generally determined that what it is a crime to do, it is a crime to think 35. Since by revolving with pleasure the facility, safety, or advantage of a wicked deed, a man soon begins to find his constancy relax, and his detestation soften; the happiness of success glittering before him, withdraws his attention from the atrociousness of the guilt, and acts are at last confidently perpetrated, of which the first conception only crept into the mind, disguised in pleasing complications, and permitted rather than invited.
No man has ever been drawn to crimes by love or jealousy, envy or hatred, but he can tell how easily he might at first have repelled the temptation, how readily his mind would have obeyed a call to any other object, and how weak his passion has been after some casual avocation, till he has recalled it again to his heart, and revived the viper by too warm a fondness.
Such, therefore, is the importance of keeping reason a constant guard over imagination, that we have otherwise no security for our own virtue, but may corrupt our hearts in the most recluse solitude, with more pernicious and tyrannical appetites and wishes than the commerce of the world will generally produce; for we are easily shocked by crimes which appear at once in their full magnitude; but the gradual growth of our own wickedness, endeared by interest, and palliated by all the artifices of self-deceit, gives us time to form distinctions in our own favour, and reason by degrees submits to absurdity, as the eye is in time accommodated to darkness.
In this disease of the soul, it is of the utmost importance to apply remedies at the beginning; and therefore I shall endeavour to shew what thoughts are to be rejected or improved, as they regard the past, present, or future; in hopes that some may be awakened to caution and vigilance, who, perhaps, indulge themselves in dangerous dreams, so much the more dangerous, because, being yet only dreams, they are concluded innocent.
The recollection of the past is only useful by way of provision for the future; and, therefore, in reviewing all occurrences that fall under a religious consideration, it is proper that a man stop at the first thoughts, to remark how he was led thither, and why he continues the reflection. If he is dwelling with delight upon a stratagem of successful fraud, a night of licentious riot, or an intrigue of guilty pleasure, let him summon off his imagination as from an unlawful pursuit, expel those passages from his remembrance, of which, though he cannot seriously approve them, the pleasure overpowers the guilt, and refer them to a future hour, when they may be considered with greater safety. Such an hour will certainly come; for the impressions of past pleasure are always lessening, but the sense of guilt, which respects futurity, continues the same.
The serious and impartial retrospect of our conduct, is indisputably necessary to the confirmation or recovery of virtue, and is, therefore, recommended under the name of self-examination, by divines, as the first act previous to repentance. It is, indeed, of so great use, that without it we should always be to begin life, be seduced for ever by the same allurements, and misled by the same fallacies. But in order that we may not lose the advantage of our experience, we must endeavour to see every thing in its proper form, and excite in ourselves those sentiments, which the great Author of nature has decreed the concomitants or followers of good and bad actions.
Δειλα μεν εκπρηξας, επιπλησσεο, χρηστα δε, τερπου.
Let not sleep (says Pythagoras) fall upon thy eyes till thou hast thrice reviewed the transactions of the past day. Where have I turned aside from rectitude? What have I been doing? What have I left undone, which I ought to have done? Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done be troubled, and rejoice for the good.
Our thoughts on present things being determined by the objects before us, fall not under those indulgences or excursions, which I am now considering. But I cannot forbear, under this head, to caution pious and tender minds, that are disturbed by the irruptions of wicked imaginations, against too great dejection, and too anxious alarms; for thoughts are only criminal, when they are first chosen, and then voluntarily continued.
No spot or stain behind.
In futurity chiefly are the snares lodged, by which the imagination is entangled. Futurity is the proper abode of hope and fear, with all their train and progeny of subordinate apprehensions and desires. In futurity, events and chances are yet floating at large, without apparent connexion with their causes, and we therefore easily indulge the liberty of gratifying ourselves with a pleasing choice. To pick and cull among possible advantages is, as the civil law terms it, in vacuum venire, to take what belongs to nobody; but it has this hazard in it, that we shall be unwilling to quit what we have seized, though an owner should be found. It is easy to think on that which may be gained, till at last we resolve to gain it, and to image the happiness of particular conditions, till we can be easy in no other. We ought, at least, to let our desires fix upon nothing in another's power for the sake of our quiet, or in another's possession for the sake of our innocence. When a man finds himself led, though by a train of honest sentiments, to wish for that to which he has no right, he should start back as from a pitfall covered with flowers. He that fancies he should benefit the publick more in a great station than the man that fills it, will in time imagine it an act of virtue to supplant him; and as opposition readily kindles into hatred, his eagerness to do that good, to which he is not called, will betray him to crimes, which in his original scheme were never proposed.
He therefore that would govern his actions by the laws of virtue, must regulate his thoughts by those of reason; he must keep guilt from the recesses of his heart, and remember that the pleasures of fancy, and the emotions of desire, are more dangerous as they are more hidden, since they escape the awe of observation, and operate equally in every situation, without the concurrence of external opportunities.

Q: EXC_BAD_ACCESS when using UITextField.text in other UIViewController i have two view controllers, one with UITableView for displaying data - and one for adding data. the UITableView controller have some demo rows. the demo rows are displayed from class that holds all data for UITableView controller. with this class we can add rows from all controllers. when i adding row from add data controller without using UITextField.text, and returning to UITableView controller, the row adds and all working perfectly. when i adding data from UITextField.text, the UITableView controller crashed with EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
some code:
class that holds all data's add method:
- (BCItem *)createCafeWithCafeName:(NSString *)name
                     cafeChain:(NSString *)chain
                    cafeStreet:(NSString *)street
                      cafeCity:(NSString *)city
                      cafeInfo:(NSString *)info
                       cafeLog:(NSString *)log
                       cafeLig:(NSString *)lig
{
    BCItem *p = [[BCItem alloc] initWithCafeName:name cafeChain:chain cafeStreet:street cafeCity:city cafeInfo:info cafeLog:log cafeLig:lig];

    [allCafesMutable addObject:p];

    return p;
}

add method:
[[BCItemStore sharedStore] createCafeWithCafeName:name.text cafeChain:chain.text cafeStreet:street.text cafeCity:city.text cafeInfo:info.text cafeLog:log.text cafeLig:lig.text];

all the UITextField are released.
what is the problem?
EDIT:
the app crashed when i trying to get data from the class where the data stored.

A: As @TomaszSzulc3 specified in his comment the issue was that the UITextField wasnted connected correctly. As such, the solution involved reconnecting the fields.

What do the Halifax Public Gardens mean to you?
I often get comments on our Facebook page about how much the individuals love the Gardens and why. Many are ex-residents who now live far away and love the photo's I post because it brings back their past: eating ice cream as a child, being proposed to, spending time with their parents or escaping into the serenity of the place to find some peace in a turbulent time of their lives.
Share your memories with us. You can do so by commenting here or on our Facebook page.
This will probably be my favorite picture this year. The reeds rising and being reflected in the water look like a waterfall, and the contrast between the soft green, the bold orange Azaleas and the dark trunk of a stately tree are very powerful.
Water is a very reflective element, both literally and figuratively.
What a wonderful place to grow up. My bet is that the children who spend a lot of time in the Gardens will take their love of nature with them throughout their lives.
How many graduates have stood in this same spot, with their families and friends around them? Filled with hope and relief. It seems like only yesterday that my daughter stood in this very spot. Photographing these graduates took me back 5 years and for a moment, every cell in my body was young(er) again.
Even a trip to the loo is a lovely journey.
Hey Bev! I found a way to maintain the statues cheaply. It's called 'retouch' and with a swipe of the mouse the pealing paint disappears. If only it were so easy!
This is how this gentleman spends his time in the Gardens. He wasn't trying to make money, there was no bowl in sight. I think he was looking for the tinkling sound of the fountain to accompany his harp. It was lovely and as I often say… the best things in life are free… and serendipitous.
Last week the Gardens held a special event to celebrate Canada's first Garden Day. Four celebrity gardeners were invited to indulge their creativity by designing planters using a combination of plants provided. They were given the same base plants and could pick plants from a 'wildcard' table to express their artistry. The very entertaining Neville MacKay played host.
The planters will reside at Horticultural Hall Plaza for the season.
You get to vote for the winner. So pick your favorite and follow this link to cast your vote.
The link also has photo's of the planters just in case I didn't get the "good' side.
The beauty of the Gardens is always uplifting. Being surrounded by nature and knowing that we share a deep sense of appreciation with our fellow visitors, tears down boundaries and makes us part of a community.
A community which has continued for over 173 years.

This view of the Pleiades star cluster is a composite of hundreds of WISE images, a tiny fraction of all those collected to complete the full-sky survey. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA
Posted on July 20, 2010 December 24, 2015 by Ryan Anderson
WISE Mission Completes All-sky Infrared Survey
If you take a lot of digital pictures, you're probably familiar with the frustration of keeping track of dozens of files, and always running out of hard drive space to store them. Well, the scientists and engineers on NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission have no pity for you. Their spacecraft just finished photographing the entire sky in exquisite detail: a total of 1.3 million photos.
"The eyes of WISE have not blinked since launch," said William Irace, the mission's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. "Both our telescope and spacecraft have performed flawlessly and have imaged every corner of our universe, just as we planned."
WISE surveys the sky in strips as it orbits the earth. It takes six months of constant observing to map the entire sky. By pointing at every part of the sky, astronomical surveys deliver excellent data covering both well-known objects and those that have never been seen before.
"WISE is filling in the blanks on the infrared properties of everything in the universe from nearby asteroids to distant quasars," said Peter Eisenhardt of JPL, project scientist for WISE. "But the most exciting discoveries may well be objects we haven't yet imagined exist."
One example of a well-known object seen in new light by WISE is the Pleiades cluster: a group of young blue stars shrouded by dust that the cluster is currently passing through. In WISE's false-color infrared vision, the hot stars look blue but the cooler dust clouds give off longer wavelengths of infrared light, causing them to glow in shades of yellow and green.
The WISE survey is particularly significant because such a wide range of objects in the universe are visible in infrared light. Giant molecular clouds glow in infrared light, as do brown dwarfs – objects that are bigger than planets but smaller than true stars. WISE can also see ultra-bright, extremely distant galaxies whose visible light has been stretched into the infrared by the expansion of the universe during its multi-billion-year journey.
The recently completed WISE survey also observed 100,000 asteroids in our solar system, many of which had never been seen before. 90 of the newly discovered asteroids are near-earth objects, whose orbits cross our own, making them potentially dangerous but also potential targets for future mission.
You might think that 1.3 million pictures would be plenty, but WISE will keep mapping the sky for another three months, covering half of the sky again and allowing astronomers to search for changes. The mission will end when the spacecraft's solid hydrogen coolant finally runs out and the infrared detectors warm up (they don't work as well when they are warm enough to emit the same wavelengths of infrared light that they are meant to detect).
But even as the telescope warms up, the astronomers on the WISE team will just be getting warmed up too. With nearly two million images, they will be busy making new discoveries for years to come.

Navneeth says:
The chances of a Nemesis existing are little to none, given periodic mass extinctions on Earth, as per a couple of scientists.
Jon Hanford says:
I wonder if any brown dwarfs will be found closer than the Alpha Centauri system (or within 10 l.y.)? THAT would shake things up.
IVAN3MAN_AT_LARGE says:
@ Jon Hanford,
Some people in the scientific community have postulated that a Nemesis (Death) Star orbits the Sun at a distance of about 50,000 to 100,000 AU (about 1-2 light-years) beyond the Oort cloud, which certainly "would shake things up"!
@ Navneeth,
Yeah, I saw the research paper, the other day, by those two scientists: Nemesis_Reconsidered.
Torbjorn Larsson OM says:
Oh, that again, 2nd round I believe. Well, I don't believe in any of that, for the following top-down reasons:
1) There is no periodicity in the data, either modern or the original Raup-Sepkoski, as shown by simple autocorrelation:
"Quantitatively, extinction rates in the Fossil Record 2 family data (3) and Sepkoski's family and genus data (1, 2) are not correlated with themselves at any time lag (49), which is a necessary condition for periodicity to hold. That said, analyses of origination rates in all three datasets (49, 50) suggest short-term autocorrelation. However, the current dataset shows no autocorrelation in either kind of rate (Fig. S1), and a standard spectral analysis (Fig. S2) also suggests purely random variation through the time series (i.e., white noise)." [Alroy, PNAS, 2008.]
I'm not aware of any criticism to this result. In fact, Melott and Bambach cites Alroy for its data, but doesn't reply to its basic observations what I can see. Logically they would then admit that their method introduces a periodicity artifact.
2) This is an old contentious area with no consensus. Melott and Bambach admits this:
"Raup and Sepkoski (1984), hereafter RS, published a study of marine fossil families, describing in it a 26 My periodicity in local maxima of extinction; Sepkoski (1989) confirmed and refined it to 26.2 My with a study of genera; Lieberman & Melott (2007) found hints of it with spectral analysis. This result cannot be said to have been settled by consensus among paleontologists."
3) I have looked at Raup and Sepkoski 1986 paper, which I assume contains much the same analysis as the 1984. It is terrible.
Among other things they introduce Fourier-techniques as used by Melott and Bambach, but does not test against null data by other filters than their own peak detector _which admit any sampled data local maxima in the noise_. Noise in, noise out.
4) Melott and Bambach seems superficially to massage their data similarly:
"We found that a signal at 27 Myr appeared in both data sets separately, but the suppression of random error in the combined set as well as a comparison with mass extinction timings (Part 4.2), clarified things greatly."
5) It is pertinent to look at earlier work. arxiv records show that Melott nearly exclusively looks for patterns in data.
This is of course a permissible research strategy, but to be a viable one Melott should rigorously test his results. See however the 1) and 2) withdrawal from that.
As a layman I can say this, with the same strength (i.e. none): I can't see any difference between this area and "cold fusion" pathological science.
In any case, no periodicity means no Nemesis as envisioned.
Possibly poisoning the well now: if the above is a correct analysis it clarifies the oddity that Bambach IIRC visits a Sepkoski and Ruse conference. Michael Ruse is a "crypto" (well) creationist "philosopher of biology", which often equivocates on evolutionary facts. Muddling one area may indicate muddling others.
Thanks for the extra information, Torbjörn!
Lawrence B. Crowell says:
I think the Nemesis hypothesis has fallen into the back and is probably not viable. I doubt that WISE will find any nearby brown dwarf.
What WISE might do with respect to brown dwarf stars is to maybe give some statistics for their occurrence in our local region so as to maybe give more accurate accounting of non-illuminated matter. One candidate for dark matter were MACHOs (MAssive Cold Heavy Objects), of which brown dwarfs were thought to be a major contributor.
An astronomer, Weiman, if I recall the name, in 1992-3 looked at the winking of stars in the Magellanic Clouds, where the winking was due to a passage of a dark object such as a brown dwarf. A few were found, but using statistics it was found to be nowhere near enough to account for dark matter.
IVAN3MAN_AT_LARGE, you are welcome! The benefits of being a layman, can haz no clout but big opinions. 😮
Also, d'oh, the vagaries to take from memory: It was not a Ruse and Sepkoski conference but a book (in press). And if Ruse is equivocating on evolution, Sepkoski may not be. [Which I know because I had to check him and his web pages up, J. Sepkoski is long dead. This is a D. Sepkoski, historian of science.]
I was actually hoping to see WISE nail the coffin shut wrt Nemesis. Why were previous all-sky IR surveys (IRAS, 2MASS) inadequate to reveal this object? Near aphelion? Low resolution? Lack of sensitivity/depth? I guess it's too good a story to be bothered by facts. 🙂
lookingbeyond says:
It's amazing how all these 2012 fanatics jump on the Nemesis theory and claim it's proof of "Niburu". They always keep pulling out that old 1980's photo from IRAS about some IR source they couldn't properly define back then in every single arguement.
I actually would love it if we found a Brown Dwarf in the outer reaches of our Solar System. (although getting there for probes would take very very long.)
But it seems highly unlikely.
Ishan says:
If this image is clicked and opened in its full size, some of the bright stars have black dot in their center. Is this WISE anomaly? Or just an image processing problem?
Olaf says:
Well if the Nemesis would be true then we should detect a wobble in the red-shift since Sun-Nemesis would have an additional barycentre.
These 2012 people are funny people. I checked the Nibiru that went all the way towards Nemesis and back to the Sun and immediately discovered that this is impossible. At first the Nibiru orbit would be very aperiodical and second it would miss Nemesis the next time it got there since Nemesis would have moved. LOL
Ishan, the "black dots" are artifacts probably related to pixel saturation of the detector.
IIRC, a team of researchers at JPL came up with a new name for Nemesis, which they acknowledged has an 'image' problem (more like a 'no image' problem :D) . Tyche is the monniker they chose. Still….new name, same problem!
jimhenson says:
Mass extinctions have happened 20 times in the last 540 million years, or every 27 million +/- 2 years. ~16 million years it is predicted to happen again. Intensity rates are highly variable, the most recent extinction was less then 10% while the worst was 90% marine life lost during the Permian-Triassic period when event happened 252.6 million years ago. The ordovician extinction was not part of the nemesis theory rather had a supernova cause. Every 250 million years the sun completes a revolution around the galaxy. Maybe stars like our sun encounter cosmic ray bombardment from supernova explosions as they orbit the galaxy because of its magnetic field about every 27 million years?
Thanks, Jon 🙂
I believe it is logical to assume that the mass extinction record on earth proved 99% predictable over the last 500 million years or longer is due to the milky way galaxy colliding and merging with another smaller galaxy, likely a satellite galaxy one of which is actually nearby now beginning to collide. galactic collisions increase star formation and supernova rates, causing cosmic ray flurries perhaps GRB alignment blasts. The Andromeda galaxy merger ahead will likely cause a mass extinction of life on practically all habitable life supporting planets throughout the galaxy. A collision with a smaller dwarf satellite galaxy in the Magellanic Clouds would have caused mostly mild extinctions in the geologic record.

One of the most serious causes of loss of consciousness diabetes mellitus. If blood sugar level drops too low due to the fact that the patient has injected too much insulin, hypoglycemia appears.
Hypoglycemic condition or, abbreviated, hypoglycemia is caused by a sharp decrease in blood glucose, which is becoming lower than normal, and, as a rule, is caused by certain disorders of condition. So, in addition to loss of consciousness, hypoglycemia manifests itself as follows: heaviness, chills, large pupils, tingling in legs, feeling of extreme hunger, feeling weakness or fatigue, headache, heavy breathing, nausea, decreased vision, numbness of tongue, lips, unexplained drowsiness, slurred speech, a feeling of "emptiness" in the head, slow response, rapid pulse, intense sweating, reddening of the skin, palpitations, shivering.
As mentioned above, syncope can be directly associated with hypoglycemia. To think about this issue in the case, if consciousness is lost the person with diabetes who receives insulin. Characteristic clinical signs can be headache, weakness, hunger, and fainting, which has happened to patients before. Often profuse perspiration is usually on the patient shirt wet through.
in order to finally diagnose the patient with "hypoglycemia", you need to check your blood sugar, and if not immediately carry out this analysis, we can determine the reaction to the introduction of the patient with diabetes mellitus 40% glucose.
in addition, it is necessary to keep in mind that when hypoglycemia loss of consciousness, usually very long, so in practice it is necessary to differentiate not fainting, but, alas, with comatose States.
so, if You feel that You have dropped the glucose, then the second quit all the things that You did. The thing is that because of the risk of fainting a person suffering from diabetes may prevent an irreparable error that, in certain very dangerous situations (for example, when caring for an infant, washing Windows, swimming, performing dangerous work, driving, etc.). Remember that such and such a situation is quite dangerous not only for You but also for other people.

Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Jan. 28, 2020
Compiled 28 Jan. 2020 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Judy Note: WE REMAIN ON HIGH ALERT!!!
Mon. morning 27 Jan. produced multiple confirmations that Paymasters had been ordered into Reno Sun. night 26 Jan. to await release of Tier4a funds on Mon. 27 Jan. It was expected that the 800#s would be sent out through email and websites within the next day or two. There was great pressure to get this reset done because next Fri. 31 Jan. the fiat US Dollar of US Inc. would be officially bankrupt unless the Global Currency Reset was completed. Markets were destined to crash some time in Feb. 2020.
MarkZ: A schedule has been set and we will see it rolling out this week. Reno and Zurich contacts felt it would start around 9 am this morning (12 noon EST) Mon. 27 Jan. It could take a week or ten days to roll out to us. Redemption Centers went into work this am and were planning on working this week. There was a lot of pressure to have this happen before the US Inc. Bankruptcy this Fri. 31 Jan.
Last week in President Trump's keynote address at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Conference, he announced that the US would be returning to the original Constitution form of government (or Common Law) and implied that the US was also returning to a Gold Standard.
According to Military Intel, as Tier 3 & Tier 4 liquidity was released, many World Court ordered/ GESARA-required arrests would take place. Those political elites charged with Treason had to be charged/arrested in order for the US to be GESARA compliant and participate in the Global Currency Reset. Dem Panic Grows Over Mysterious Sealed Criminal Indictments — Sorcha Faal
Since 2016 US Attorney for Utah John Huber has been over a Grand Jury investigation looking into evidence of wrongdoings by those in the upper echelons of Washington, D.C. bureaus and law enforcement agencies. This week we were promised the names, which were rumored to be the Clintons, Bushes, Obama, Pelosi, Biden, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, McCabe, Brennan, Ohr, Strzok, Clapper and many others.
Charges included using a public office for personal monetary gain; performing criminal acts relating to Uranium One, the Clinton Foundation, Fusion GPS; Crimes of 9/11 and Cover Up of 9/11; the March 11 2011 Fukushima Nuclear and Tsunami mass murders; Benghazi Massacre; Hijacking of Malaysian Air 370; Mass Murder in Haiti; Pedophilia; trying to subvert the will of The People by conspiring with foreign officials to take down a duly elected US President, or violation of the Espionage Act of 1912;
High Treason; Election Fraud; Child Sex Trafficking; Homicide; Pornography; Money Laundering; Bribery; Perjury; Gun and Drug running; Human Trafficking; Child Exploitation; Kidnapping; Organ harvesting; Blackmail for votes on political issues through recording of pedophilia parties where children were raped, tortured and murdered;
Misappropriation and Confiscation of US taxpayer monies through use of the illegal and privately owned Federal Reserve, IRS, US Corporation, City of London and Holy See, plus not implementing the Freedom from Debt GESARA Law passed by the US Supreme Court and signed into law by President Bill Clinton.
As of 31 Dec. 2019, 144,844 sealed indictments had been filed by Huber's team of 740 investigators in federal courts across the nation, most of which contained charges of Child Exploitation. It was said that 80% of the Democratic Congress (plus some Republicans) had been charged, some with major offenses such as Treason. https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2020/01/whos-who-in-those-144000-sealed-indictments-about-to-be-served-3160490.html
Jan. 2019 began secret trials in federal courts and tribunals at GITMO. Of 144,844 indictments filed, 16,818 were now unseald (meaning indictments had been served, arrests made), with 1,843 served during these past holidays. With so many cases pending it was assumed that it would take at least two years or more to complete litigation. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kVQwX9l9HJ5F76x05ic_YnU_Z5yiVS96LbzAOP66EzA/edit
It's amazing what the Mainstream Media failed to report, and how long it has taken for exposure of the criminal political elites to take place. This was an article about the indictments published in alternative news way back in Feb. 2019: https://beforeitsnews.com/politics/2019/02/obama-clinton-comey-clapper-brennan-lynch-mccabe-believed-charged-with-treason-3064376.html
A. Jan. 27 2020 Morning Chat with MarkZ: https://www.twitch.tv/theoriginalmarkz
1. I believe that a schedule has been set and we would see it rolling out at least this week. I am feeling great about where we are.
2. Sam Oliver: Yes, it's here. We may have a Black Swan event, which would affect trading in the market. The transformation of the World Economy is here.
3. Reno and Zurich contacts felt that the reset would start around 9 am this morning (12 noon EST) Mon. 27 Jan. and could take a week to ten days to roll out to us.
4. Redemption Centers went in this am and were planning on working this week.
5. There was a lot of pressure to have this happen before the US Inc. Bankruptcy this Fri. 31 Jan.
6. The Iraqi Dinar may have gone late Sat. night 25 Jan, but there was no solid confirmation.
B. International Child Sex Trafficking:
Clinton/NXIVM Sex Cult Child Sex Slave Daycare Centers in North and South America, Florida, New York, California, Spain, Guatemala, Mexico: http://satanism.news/2019-12-17-nxivm-cult-ran-daycare-centers-child-mutilation.html The NXIVM sex cult was apparently operating a chain of faux daycare centers that in reality were child sex slave facilities funded by campaign supporters of failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Known as "Rainbow Cultural Garden," these facilities, which were located all throughout North and South America, were recently exposed for conducting human experimentation on children, many of whom had been illegally trafficked across the border and given fake identification.
This news comes as Keith Raniere, the NXIVM sex cult leader, was recently convicted of sex trafficking, which opened up a Pandora's box of hidden evil that's been taking place under the cover of darkness for many years. Thanks to NXIVM whistleblower Frank Parlato, we now know that Hillary Clinton donor Clare Bronfman was not only involved in the scheme, but also oversaw these "Rainbow Cultural Garden" facilities, which operated in Florida, New York, and California, as well as in Spain, Guatemala, and Mexico.

C. Currency Exchange and Bond Redemption Information:
Each country had their own 800# or website code for use of currency exchangers/ bond redeemers that would be sent out by email, or found on certain websites as below. Clicking on that web link on your computer or phone, would create your own unique signature to receive an exchange/ redemption appointment, along with exchange/ redemption information.
We were told that just an hour or so prior to liquidity release Wells Fargo and HSBC Banks would be sending out over 400,000 emails to currency and bond holders, along with instructions on how to exchange and redeem. That information would also be available on websites as below:

MarkZ Twitter: m.twitter.com/originalmarkz
Bruce: https://www.iqdcalls.com/The_Big_Call.html bigcalluniverse.com
TNT Tony: https://twitter.com/the_tnt_team
Redemption Center Staff were told that upon liquidity release, they would be working 7 am to 11 pm for about 10-12 days. The Tier4b Internet Group (us) would have those 10-12 days to exchange at the higher Contract Rates, after which (predicted in mid-Feb.) the General Public could exchange at regular banks, receiving the new, but lower, International Rates of exchange.
At your exchange you could watch a 15 min. CD that would explain the exchange/redemption process before you began. If you held Zim expect to sign a 4 ½ page Non Disclosure Agreement. If you held both currencies and Zim expect that NDA to be 5 ½ pages. If you held currencies and no Zim, that NDA was expected to be around 1 ½ pages.
D. Judy Note on Zim Bonds: It was my understanding that if you had Zim Bonds and a humanitarian project, your Zim rate would be determined from the costs of your project. It would be wise to type up a short outline of that project including your goals. Have an estimate of monies needed to accomplish those goals, the years you wished in your long term payout and your interim financial needs until your first quarterly payout was received.
If you did not have a specific humanitarian project you would be given a certain set rate on your Zim and opportunities to invest redemption monies in international humanitarian projects. Either way you could determine the amount of years you wished for your long term payout and be paid interest on your monies left at the bank during that payout.
F. Judy Note: I do not, nor have I ever, received monies for writing my Updates and articles. The compensation has been in having opportunities to research and expose the truth about Satanic Ritual Abuse and pedophilia that was rampant in our international society and thereby contribute in efforts to Save the Children.
The above was a summary of information from the Internet. It would be up to the reader to do their own research and decide whether or not it was valid. A Thank You to those dedicated and brave intel providers who wished to remain unknown; to humble Wildfirelady who was especially adept at exposing the truth; to Brad who did great research and Ken who uncovered almost unlimited intel on pedophilia to help us Save the Children.
Divide They Try, Fail They Will, for WWG1WGA to Support POTUS, Thank Q & Trust Plan
This has finally come to be. I wish you well in your humanitarian efforts and look forward to seeing you on the other side of the reset where together, we will make life better for all.
Patience is a Virtue. Having Virtue is a sign of a good moral being. Good moral beings have the power to overcome evil and change the world. Judy
