Benefits of Infrared Harnessing Clothing
Learn more with our Infrared Tech Brochure
The chemical unit of energy that powers our cells is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). When you wear KYMIRA®Sport products, the infrared activates a molecule called Cytochrome C-Oxidase, a transmembrane protein in our mitochondria which mediates the production of ATP. Mitochondria are the power plants of our cells, where ATP is produced, and Cytochrome C-Oxidase is one of the gateways that allow workers through the power plant. By opening the gateway, ATP is production is increased and your cells have more fuel to carry out their functions.
Increased Oxygenation
In randomized double blind repeated measures studies, KYMIRA®products increased tissue oxygen levels by 20% on average compared against a host of control garments that used standard fabrics and/or compression. This increase was a building increase that both peaked and maintained after 70 minutes of wearing the KYMIRA®products.
In colder climates, our fabrics warm up quicker, and then store the thermal energy 63% longer than an equivalent weight fabric would. In hotter climates however, they dry 65% quicker on average, dissipating excess heat through evaporation. Tying these two effects together is the increase in local circulation which allows your body to more efficiently transport heat around KYnergy®exposed areas, resulting in a regulating effect rather than just heating or cooling.
There are a variety of pain relief responses that an athlete will experience when using our products. The first is an activation of the same chemical pathways that an opiate would activate (albeit less potently), when Nitric Oxide activates another chemical called Cyclic Guanosine Monophosphate (or cGMP for short). This process inhibits pain receptors and reduces pain while you are wearing KYMIRA®products. Once removed however, this pain inhibition will wear off as your body stops producing Nitric Oxide at such an accelerated rate. There are however, longer pain relief effects that are seen in athletes of all abilities when it comes to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Once our products are removed, DOMS does not return. Based on anecdotal evidence, which we are currently clinically testing, this is believed to be because exercising in KYMIRA®Sport products reduces the physiological causes of the DOMS itself*.
SPF Rating
Our technology contains the mineral Quarts Dioxide. This is not included for infrared purposes, but rather its ability to absorb shorter wavelengths of UV light which is harmful to us. Once absorbed, it converts UV into a longer wavelength which is then more harmful to microbes. This dual effect gives our products a minimum rating of SPF 35 and an antimicrobial effect.
**KYMIRA® products with Celliant® are Determined to be Medical Devices. The FDA has determined that products containing Celliant® are medical devices as defined in section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and are general wellness products. In the United States, the FDA has determined that Celliant® products are medical devices and are general wellness products. In Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, Celliant® is designated as a Class 1 Medical Device. Please note the pain relief statements only apply to Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

I am Cirtnecce, living in New Delhi, India. I like to think my day job is of a Project Leader and the night job and my secretsuper hero avatar of reader/writer. I am also a daughter, a sister, a friend, a slightly difficult leader, a thinker, a traveler!
What are your reading goals for this year's #AusReadingMonth?
What it is everytime – to get to know the country better and learn a bit more about its history!
p.s. Also perhaps add yet another place to visit, when I do take my long awaited vacation to Australia!
1. Tell us about the Australian books you've loved and read so far.
I loved when I read The Thornbirds by Colleen McCullough and the novel left me heartbroken, and while I read it so many years ago, it still makes me very sad! I really enjoyed the saucy dressmaker, from The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham. More recently, as a prequel to the AusReadingMonth, I read The Ladies of Missalonghi, again by Colleen McCullough and now all I want to do is visit The Blue Mountains!!
Childhood days of collecting small stuffed dolls of Kula Bears; my father worked in the Australian – Indian Development Comission and I reaped the rewards in terms of all kinds of exotic animal collections.
Again from childhood, I do not remember who the author was, but this gorgeous. absolutely gorgeous coffee table book capturing the wondrous landscape of Australia. From the green valleys to the outbacks, lovely, fairy tale like land which completely absorbed the imagination of a 8 year old!
Friends – an Indian bestie. now settled in Sydney who was with me through College and grad school, sharing the same sorority house and mess hall and so many lovely memories of coming of age together! Also as I began working for my company, I made loads and loads of friends with my Australian peers, one especially who stands out as a fellow soul sister!
The rich culture of Aborigines.I remember again, thanks to my father's work, some of the most beautiful art ever, created by the many aboriginal tribes of the country. Colors and forms which left your swirling and in awe of their brilliance!
Beer! I do not drink much but I am surrounded by people who do and this seems to come through in all conversations.
What are the pro's and con's about travelling to/in Australia for you?
Thought and planned and one day shall! It's a gorgeous country that I hope to visit one day and travel coast to coast soaking in its every changing landscape and culture. I am not sure about cons, but I do believe like everywhere else, including my own country (rolling eyes…let's not even get started on my country, these days!) there is some discrimination that may be happening because of race and that anywhere is not acceptable. But we all are moving forward and I am hoping globally sense shall prevail!
I think I am obsessed with The Blue Mountains for now!!! However when I actually make it to Australia, I plan to go exploring the entire country, inch by inch!!
5. Do you have a favourite Australian author/s or book/s? Tell us about him/her/it.
I love both Thomas Keneallyand Mark Zusak, for sharing two very different but important narratives of modern history with us. Narratives that are so very disturbing, but those must be shared, so that we do not make those horrific judgement errors again! Colleen McCullough for bringing Australia alive for all of us with all her beauty and history. Finally I know Gearldine Brooks seems more global in her writing, but I still lover her books and its seems apt, that I pay homage to her Australian roots.
Too many to list, my TBR is place where angles fear to tread!
I am reading things especially for this event on the fly, but for now I have The Secret River by Kate Granville (LOVING IT!) and I am hoping to read the much acclaimed Cloudstreet by by Tim Winton which has been on my TBR forever!!
8. It came to my attention recently (when I posted a snake photo on Instagram) that our overseas friends view Australia as a land full of big, bad, deadly animals.Can you name five of them?What about five of our cuter more unique creatures?(For the locals, which five animals from each category have you had an up close and personal with)?
Wombats – CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!
Snakes – Simply because while growing up I heard so many harrowing stories about snakes from my Dad's Australian colleagues. Totally, NOT cute!
Sharks …arrgh! I guess that happens when you are surrounded by ocean all round. Again NOT cute!
9. Can you name our current Prime Minister (plus four more from memory)? No googling allowed!
Julia Gillard – First Woman Prime Minister, hard to miss!
John Howard – His tenure was like never ending!!!!
Malcom Fraser He visited India during his tenure and my Dad and Mum were part of the special invitee list. I believe or as the story goes, Mrs. Fraser really liked the Saree my mum was wearing and she gifted one to Mrs. Fraser, via the High Comissoner before they returned to Australia. Hard to forget this one name then!! lol!
10. Did you know that Australians have a weird thing for BIG statues of bizarre animals and things?Can you name five of them?
No idea. This I will have to look up!
Here you go! My attempts! Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!
November approcheth and my heart singeth…yes! I cannot eulogize about Fall – Winter enough. However after dedicating nearly every 3rd post to the praise of this glorious time of the year, I have decided to move beyond and give a scintillating synopsis of my bookish plans for November!
"The Dressmaker" by Rosalie Ham – I heard some brilliant things and much praise about Rosalie Ham. Needless to say, I am really looking forward to this one!
"Picnic at Hanging Rock" by Joan Lindsay – I saw this book as a film (a rare one for me…I always read the book and may or may not see the film) and is based on a true incident regarding disappearance of a group of college girls out for a picnic in 1900. I was intrigued then, but was too young to follow on the details. Seems like a good time to dig on the details.
"Three Men In a Boat" by Jerome K Jerome – I love this laugh out loud book and began reading it a day before Classic Club announced its event. It makes complete sense that I continue reading this book.
"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë – I always have mixed feeling about this book, but it is a time for a re-visit, re-read and re-consider.
"Mary Barton" by Elizabeth Gaskell – I really really enjoy Mrs. Gaskell's writing, but the plotline of Mary Barton seems a bit tedious and I have therefore hesitated reading this for some time. But courage and brave heart and so and so forth, and I sail forward bravely to try this one, this month.
Among other reading news, I have yet to start Michelle Lovric's "The True and Splendid History of the Harrington Sisters" as well as Susan Howatch's "Penamrric" . I think I plan to read these two every month, but with the each month having its unique reading event lately, these two are getting shelved. I think, in December, I will do Will-not-finish-the-year-without-finishing-these-books event, for myself. These two will star right on top of it that month. I am also wading through Henry James's "The American" and Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad" – I thought it would be fun to read to contrasting genres, authors and plots around the same subject and around the same time ("The American" was published in 1877 and "Innocents Abroad" in 1869)– an American travelling in Europe to enrich his/her cultural understanding. It's an extremely interesting exercise in contrasting literary forms and narrative style and I will post about the same one of these days! I have also begun reading "The Painted Girls" by Cathy Marie Buchanan and so far I am holding on to my opinions on this book!
That's about it for my November bookish endeavors.


Maze has worked in clay since the late '80s. In the beginning she used models to make life-size busts or small figures, but her interest changed to animals, mythology, and architecture. "Sometimes I have a path in mind, certain ideas that I want to bring to fruition. But, often I let the clay tell me what to do, and I become lost in the creative process," Maze says. "Interestingly, it's often the cut-off scraps that define the piece by becoming an intricate part of the decoration." Maze also experiments with metal inclusions or glass pieces that bear the element of surprise, because she can never really tell if they melt or retain their original form.
Today, Maze's 3D-work, either as clay sculptures or dioramas, is often inspired by her frequent travels to far countries, from Middle America to Europe and the Far East. "I take guided tours, but afterward I explore the country on my own," says Maze, who recently visited Nepal. Her travels to Asia inspired a collection of temples. "The locals create small outdoor temples to commemorate hikers who died climbing Mt. Everest. I also became fascinated with the eye symbol, which is used as a talisman in several cultures. Buddha will protect you and avoid evil, but, at the same time, he will watch you." Her work also explores the image of the heart as a symbol in different cultures and incorporates images of the Chinese Terracotta Warriors into architectural framework.
In her spare time, Maze enjoys renovating old houses. "Currently, I oversee the renovation of a 1909 farmhouse in Waleska that I intend to bring back to its original beauty." Her interest in architecture also influences her clay pieces, for instance, by giving functional boxes an architectural flair.
Maze and her late husband owned "Maze Studio," a gallery in Atlanta. Now, she displays her work during exhibits and was a featured artist at the High Museum's Artist Studio Tour. Maze is on the board of directors of the Cherokee Arts Center and was a judge at Cherokee Arts Festival and Riverfest. She is also a past president of the Georgia Clay Council.

A Quant Claims Proof That Factor Investing Is Too Crowded
Justina Lee
Feb 19 2020, 6:42 PM Feb 20 2020, 6:56 AM February 19 2020, 6:42 PM February 20 2020, 6:56 AM
(Bloomberg) -- It's a common gripe among quants that's hard to prove: Traditional factor investing has become too crowded for its own good. Now one systematic manager says it's found the smoking gun.
A new study from Capital Fund Management finds that the booming U.S. momentum strategy -- which bets on the best stock performers over the past year -- is becoming exceedingly expensive to pull off in practice.
Consider an investor whose algorithm just told him or her to plow millions into the trade. If rivals are seeing the same on their screens, a flurry of purchases en masse could push up transaction costs and erode profits the managers might harvest from the underlying strategy.
That's the issue documented in CFM's study parsing years of market data. Similar dynamics are also likely making life harder for factor quants who dissect shares by other traits like how they cheap they look, known as value, and their size, the authors say.
"It means the price you're able to get as you're trying to trade is higher than you thought initially because of people pushing," Jean-Philippe Bouchaud, co-author of the January paper and CFM chairman, said in a phone interview. "So the extra cost -- although it comes from a rather small correlation -- is enough to eat a substantial part of the signal."
Bouchaud's conclusions echo longstanding fears that popularity is killing factor investing, which now commands $2 trillion overall by one estimate. Outflows and volatility have plagued a slew of traditional quant shops riding a broad array of strategies, prompting some to adopt fresh inputs or faster-moving strategies.
Momentum itself has been one of the biggest winners of the post-crisis bull market, beating a global benchmark in all but two of the last 10 years as it surfed the seemingly relentless tech rally.
Its volatility also came to the fore when the strategy posted the largest one-day crash in a decade last September -- a mini-quant quake that many blamed on rapid deleveraging by large investors. The investing style has struggled since.

CFM combed through more than 1,000 different stocks and found that correlation between momentum buy-signals and market imbalances that raise transaction costs has increased since 2012. The researchers capture this by looking at the gap between the executed price and the mid-price, and buying volumes relative to selling.
From a bird's eye view, "the momentum trade represents a very minute fraction of what's happening in the market," Bouchaud said. "But the interesting point that we're trying to make in the paper is that this is actually enough to induce transaction costs that are of the same order of magnitude as the gains of the strategy."
The team finds similar signs of crowding in value and size though the evidence is less clear-cut since these are slower-moving strategies. The data is also too noisy to conclude that crowding in those two factors has actually intensified over the years.
But overall it's a grim picture for the famous factor model developed by academics Eugene Fama and Kenneth French, which includes value and size.
"The estimated impact costs suggest that simple Fama-French factor investing is close to saturation," the authors say in the recent paper.
Their contention that herd behavior is causing rules-based strategies to misfire will find plenty of pushback. BlackRock Inc. -- which has facilitated the factor boom with its smart-beta exchange-traded funds -- has stressed that these quant strategies in one direction are often offset by the buying and selling behavior of other types of investors. It also said in a December note that trading costs are far from destroying returns.
Many would point to value or small-cap stocks' widening discount to the broader market as a sign that these factors are, if anything, becoming less popular.
Besides, a crowded trade could still pay off thanks to strong underlying fundamentals, says Wes Gray, founder of Alpha Architect, an ETF provider. Factors such as momentum, low volatility and quality have delivered decent performance in recent years, he points out.
But to Bouchaud, the research confirms his firm's long-held view that quants can rely on traditional factors no longer. Instead, they should find more innovative ways of applying old ones, or dig for new varieties altogether.
"Naive implementation of factors is not good enough anymore," he said.

NFL Free Agency Day One Recap
March 17, 2020 March 17, 2020 Gio Damico
Givanni Damico | March 17th, 2020
Welcome to my recap of the first day of free agency, or at least tampering. A lot went down today. A lot of wholes were filled by some teams, and a lot were opened by others (*cough* Texans *cough*). Overall, this has been a really exciting day for the average football fan. Let's get into it.
The biggest deal of the day was the DeAndre Hopkins blockbuster trade to Arizona for David Johnson, a second-rounder, and a fourth. The clear winner here was Arizona, as they add the best receiver in football to their air raid offense. Bill O'Brien should be jobless right now. The Texans did bring in Randall Cobb, but that does not fill the void of losing the best receiver in football.
Another substantial deal was Stefon Diggs to Buffalo, in exchange for a package of picks including Buffalo's first-round pick at 22. This was a great deal for both sides because Buffalo gets a true number one receiver who is better than anyone they could have gotten at 22. The Vikings were not on great terms with Diggs, so to get a first-rounder with some other picks as well seems like a great move by Minnesota.
A lot of people were tagged today. Some may be traded, others may not, it's kind of hard to tell what the teams want to do. Chris Jones, Dak Prescott, Derrick Henry, Yannick Ngakoue, Brandon Scherff, Justin Simmons, A.J. Green, Shaquille Barrett, Anthony Harris, Hunter Henry, Matthew Judon, Joe Thuney, Leonard Williams, Bud Dupree, and Kenyan Drake have all been tagged over the last couple days.
The Dolphins spent the most money today, bringing in four free agents. They brought in Ereck Flowers to play offensive guard, giving him $10 million per year. Is this an overpay? Probably. Do they have the money to do so? Yes. Is it an upgrade over what they currently have? Absolutely. I don't hate it.
They brought in former Bills pass-rusher Shaq Lawson as well. Lawson was good in Buffalo last season, recording 6.5 sacks last year, but he hasn't been elite. He fills another hole at edge rusher.
The Dolphins brought in former Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy as well. Van Noy has been a very underrated player throughout his career and will be a welcome addition to an already decent linebacker corps. Finally, they brought in Byron Jones. Jones was given the most money out of any cornerback in NFL history. He will join Xavien Howard and make the Dolphins' secondary slightly more threatening.
The Cleveland Browns made three solid moves in free agency today. They brought in Case Keenum as a backup quarterback, which is the least significant move of the day for them, but they get a solid backup quarterback nonetheless.
They also brought in Austin Hooper. Hooper is a great athlete and he will fit very well in this Cleveland offense. David Njoku was actually excited about the competition. This offense might be scary next year, or it might flop again. Finally, they made a great addition to offensive tackle in Jack Conklin. Does this mean the Browns shouldn't draft a tackle in the first round? No, I still think they should because there are always two tackles on the fields. I know that's very profound of me to say.
The 49ers paid big money to get Arik Armstead back on the defensive line: a great deal for both sides honestly. The even bigger move of the day was San Francisco trading DeForrest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts for the 13th overall pick. I like this deal for the 49ers. They now have two first-round picks to add at safety and potentially defensive line. The Colts brought back Anthony Castonzo at offensive tackle too, so they don't have to worry about filling that hole.
The Titans brought back Ryan Tannehill at quarterback on a ridiculous four-year, $118 million deal: very friendly deal for Tannehill. Meanwhile, Henry gets tagged when he did most of the work last year. Tennessee also brought back Dennis Kelly at offensive tackle.
The Philadelphia Eagles made a very nice move adding Javon Hargrave to the trenches. At 27 years old, Hargrave is one of the best young defensive tackles in football. Pair him with Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham and you have one of the best, if not the best, defensive lines in football.
The Giants made a nice move bringing James Bradberry in at the cornerback position. His stats are actually very comparable to Byron Jones, who the Dolphins are paying much more. Good move to build the secondary. They also brought in Alec Ogletree 2.0, AKA Blake Martinez. Not a great move in my opinion, but I guess it's better than what they have.
The Broncos brought in Graham Glasgow, which helps their interior offensive line a lot. Glasgow is very durable and should be a consistent piece for Denver.
The Lions brought in veteran linebacker Jamie Collins. He will help solidify a group that struggled last year. They also severely overpaid Halapoulivaati Vaitai at offensive tackle, giving him $10 million per year. He'll replace Rick Wagner who was recently cut, but I'm not sure if this was an upgrade or not. Wagner ended up in Green Bay, replacing free agent Bryan Bulaga.
Speaking of overpaying offensive tackles, I raise you George Fant to the Jets for $10 million per year. Fant has only started 20 career games and has not been very good in those games.
The Redskins brought Kendall Fuller back (from a few years ago) at cornerback. He is definitely an upgrade over Josh Norman who recently signed with Buffalo. Jon Bostic also signed with the Redskins at linebacker, Bostic adds nice depth to the front seven.
Nick Kwiatkowski and Marcus Mariota end up in Vegas. Mariota will make the quarterback room more competitive and better as a whole. Kwiatkowski joins a depleted linebacker corps and I expect a big year out of him in 2020.
Hey Bears fans, you guys got Jimmy Graham. What do you have, like 10 tight ends now? Nice.
Finally, the Ravens solidify potentially the best defensive line in football by trading for Calais Campbell a few days ago and signing Michael Brockers today. This defense is really scary, and this team could be competing with the Chiefs (and maybe Buffalo?) for years to come in the AFC.
Here's to hoping for more excitement on day two!

HEAT Could Target DeMar DeRozan in This Year's Free Agency →


People who do not fancy trying to park up in Lincoln when the market starts up later this week can use public transport to get in the city.
There will be Stagecoach bus services available from the city's temporary bus station and a bus stop on Broadgate – next to the old bus station.
Below you will find all the details you need to know about the bust timetable.
The walk and ride bus is a small fleet of three midi-buses operating between the market and two bus stops within the town centre – one opposite the train station and the other at Silver Street.
Those who want to come into the city via train and then walk up Steep Hill to get to the market can check train timetables and prices here.
If you want to travel in from down south in style, you'll be able to arrive in Lincoln on a steam train from London. The British Pullman Steam Train will leave London Victoria on Friday and costs £435 per person. For more information, click here.

Joe Perry 'Alert and Responsive' Following Hospitalization in NYC
Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is doing well after being rushed to a hospital on Saturday night following a performance in New York City.
A rep for the guitarist issued a statement on Sunday updating his condition, saying, "Following a guest performance during Billy Joel's show last night at Madison Square Garden, Joe Perry experienced shortness of breath and was treated backstage by paramedics who gave the guitarist oxygen and used a tracheal tube to clear his airway before taking him to a hospital."
The rep continued, "This morning Perry remains in the hospital where he is alert and responsive. The Aerosmith guitarist will be unable to appear today at Rock And Roll Fantasy Camp in Florida and apologizes to those attending. Perry is expected to return to the road later this month."
Sirius XM host Eddie Trunk gave an update on Perry's condition as well, tweeting, "Sending my best to rock icon and friend @JoePerry . Joe was just with me on my last radio special from LA. I'm hearing he's doing well today thankfully! Be well Joe!!"


Auto insurance in the state of New Jersey has continued to be mandatory. Every individual is expected to have an auto insurance policy for having long one has a car which is driving on the roads of New Jersey. According to the authorities in the state of New Jersey, every car owner is expected to have at least a basic auto insurance policy. Although the basic auto insurance policy offers a form of protection to you and your car, it is not a full auto insurance policy. If you feel that you can afford a higher auto insurance policy, you can upgrade to the standard auto insurance policy. There are now auto insurance quotes you can get online that will serve helpful to you.
Before any insurance company can consider you for an auto insurance policy, they take into account the safety factors. This is usually by assessing your car safety score. This is the score that describes the safety that is associated with your car. It includes taking into account the number of accidents or insurance claims that a particular driver has been associated with in the recent past. The car accidents or insurance claims are usually spread across seven categories that are provided by the highway loss data insurance which is shortened as HLDI. The HLDI reports are kept in a secure database and be accessed when the need arises.
When the score card is compared against dozens of cars against a certain particular average value, it is possible to determine a car's safety status when it comes to being involved in an accident. This is particularly because the average value depicts a car's performance when it comes to expenditure on collision and other expenses that come with an accident such as medical and property damage expenses. If your score against this average value is too high, then you are likely to pay more for your auto insurance policy. Most auto insurance policy providers within the state of New Jersey are very serious about this score and they use it to determine the rates to charge a particular car owner.
How does the car score value work? This is the score that car insurance providers use to determine the rates to give to a particular car owner. In most cases, the 100 score depicts the average score for all motor all motor vehicles. Any score that is higher than the average value is considered as being very bad. It is sometimes hard to get an auto insurance policy if the car score ranges above the average score of 100. On the other hand, an average car score which is less than the average value of 100 is considered as being a very good value. All individuals whose car score is less than the average value are considered as being very safe drivers. It is very easy to get an auto insurance policy if your score is less than the average score of 100. Some cars may not have sufficient information that can be used to compile the required car score. In this case the auto insurance policy provider involved will have to consider another method to come up with a reliable set of rates for the car owner.
If you have been wondering why women pay less for their auto insurance policies, then you have to stop wondering today. Women usually score less than the average value of the car score. This is the reason why most females fall within the category of very safe drivers. As a result, most of the auto insurance policy providers will not have any issues with providing auto insurance policies to females.
Since you fully understand the average car score and its interpretation, you obviously fully understand the need to ensure that you drive as carefully as possible on the road. Take your time to drive in conformity to the road safety rules that have been put in place by the state. If you happen to forget any car rules, do not forget to do a quick revision so that you will not easily commit an offense while driving on the roads within the state of New Jersey. One thing that you should always carry with you when you are driving on the roads of New Jersey is the New Jersey certificate of insurance. As indicated above, it is not allowed to drive without any auto insurance policy that is recognized by the authorities in the state of New Jersey. Therefore, you have to ensure that you have a certificate of auto insurance from the auto insurance policy provider that sold the policy to you. In most cases, you will be expected to issue out the certificate to the authorities at checkpoints, when you have been made to stop upon is violating a particular traffic rule or after you have been stopped for a car inspection.
If you want to be a very safe driver and to eventually end up with a fairly low average car score value, you may have to do away with drinking beer while driving. When you drink and drive, you are likely to be involved in an accident. As a result, the auto insurance policy providers may not easily sell you their auto insurance policy. In addition, you are likely to score higher than the average car score value and this will have a negative impact on the evaluation of rates by the auto insurance provider.
It is not only the average cars score that you have to worry about, but also the auto insurance laws and DUI laws within the state of New Jersey. There are very stiff penalties if you have been found with any form of intoxication that can render you crippled in as far as driving is concerned. There are laws that prohibit a driver from driving with a certain amount of alcohol in the blood stream. Using a breathalyzer, authorities can ascertain someone's state of drunkenness. A lot of penalties usually accompany a road traffic offense that is committed when a person is drunk. So it is important to get the tips on using the insurance.

The following patch makes it possible to compile the native runtime and the unix library for Android.
Someone send me a similar patch to get the arm port to work on Android, but I haven't had the time to look into this until now. I was esp. confused by the lack of Unix signals? Which version of the NDK did you use?
I'm using the Android NDK, Revision 8d.
I have addded a better patch which includes a definition of the type.
Patch looks good, and seems to work fine. Committed to trunk with revision 13225.

Q: Symfony 4 - passing response to another view after form submit I have two methods in my symfony project. With one I am building a form which on submit needs to redirect in new view with it's response.
I keep getting an error but the wierd thing is that my response is running like it should on first method but on second I keep getting an error:

Could not resolve argument $date of
"App\Controller\ItController::render()", maybe you
forgot to register the controller as a service or missed tagging it
with the "controller.service_arguments"?

public function getIt(Request $request)
{
    $form = $this->createFormBuilder()
        ->add('startDate', DateTimeType::class, [
            'data' => new \DateTime('first day of this month'),
            'widget' => 'single_text',
            'html5' => false,
        ])
        ->add(
            'save',
            SubmitType::class,
            [
                'label' => 'Generate Billing Report',
                'attr' => ['class' => 'btn-submit btn-primary action-save']
            ]
        )
        ->getForm();

    $form->handleRequest($request);

    if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
        $data = $form->getData();
        $startDate = $data['date'];

        $this->render($date->format('Y-m-d'));

        return $this->redirectToRoute('rr');
    }

       return $this->render('details.html.twig', [
              'form' => $form->createView()
            ]);

And other method that needs to generate that second view with response:
/**
 * @Route("/test", name="rr")
 */
public function render($date)
{
    $response = $this->someService('route/defined/from/other/external/service, $date);
    dump($response);

    return $this->render('response.html.twig', [
        'response' => $response
    ]);
}

When I dump response in first method It returns it successfully but when I try to pass it on that other method it return this error. Maybe there is an option to render second view in first method?
Can someone help? Thanks

A: The problem here is that you are redefining the AbstractController::render method and it calls itself with with the wrong argument type.
public function render($date)
{
    $response = $this->someService('route/defined/from/other/external/service', $date);
    dump($response);

    // next line calls this method that we are in App\Controller\ItController::render($date) and throws the error
    return $this->render('response.html.twig', [
        'response' => $response
    ]);
}

Change that to
public function renderExternalResponse($date)
{
    $response = $this->someService('route/defined/from/other/external/service', $date);

    return $this->render('response.html.twig', [
        'response' => $response
    ]);
}

Then change how you handle the submitted form like this:
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
    $data = $form->getData();
    $startDate = $data['date'];

    return $this->renderExternalResponse($date->format('Y-m-d'));
}

IEC 61131 And IEC 61499 Standards
The use of function blocks has been spurred by the development of standards for their use. Two standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), in Geneva, have been critical.
By Rob Spiegel
First came IEC 61131, which was created and finalized in 1992 to help simplify and speed the programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Its development was prompted by the manufacturing industry, which was seeking to create production systems that were more flexible and reconfigurable.
IEC 61499 was later developed in an attempt to provide a more effective plug-and-play environment for function blocks. Promulgated in 2005, IEC 61499 defines a reference architecture for open, distributed control systems. Thus, a function block can be used on different processing systems and equipment, as well as being used in different programming languages. IEC 61499 allows function blocks that encapsulate software functionality.
Using a standard can greatly reduce the amount of training needed, especially if that standard is taught outside the manufacturer's facility. Those manufacturers using the IEC standards can now hire engineers who have been trained on the standard. "If an engineer goes to a PLC brand school or a tech college that provides 61131 courses, the engineer can use that at any plant that utilizes 61131," says Rich Hutton, automation product manager at Schneider Electric, in Palatine, Ill. "The engineer becomes more efficient, and the learning curve is short, which means the job gets done earlier."
The standard also allows manufacturers to use the same code in different environments and languages. "You can use 61131 programming to set up the same functionality in several different languages," says Joe Biondo, e-business manager at Bosch Rexroth Corp., in Hoffman Estates, Ill. "The 61131 standard also allows end-users to see ladder logic without having to think about the code."

Richard Evans of Sussex Central High School has been named Delaware's 2012 Assistant Principal of the Year
Email: IRSD
Richard Evans of Sussex Central High School has been named Delaware's 2012 Assistant Principal of the Year by the Delaware Association of School Administrators.
Evans was nominated for the award by Indian River School District Superintendent Susan Bunting. As a state winner, he is now eligible for the National Assistant Principal of the Year Award sponsored by the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
"It's pretty exciting," Evans said. "It does validate what we've done here, but I'm just a small piece of it. It's because your school has been successful."
Evans gives credit for the award to Sussex Central's students and staff, whose hard work and dedication resulted in the school earning its first-ever "Superior" rating from the State of Delaware in 2011.
"To be named a Superior school is an incredible honor for us," Evans said.
Evans is in his third year as an assistant principal at Sussex Central. Prior to joining the SCHS staff, he served one year as an assistant principal at Millsboro Middle School. From 2000-2008, he was a business teacher at Delmar High School. He is a 1993 graduate of Salisbury University.

Nope it is not a fail.


The most DVR'd show on the Dish Network internet-delivered TV service was Live PD, which knocked The Walking Dead out of the top spot.
The ranking of top movie rentals was topped by The Incredibles, whose sequel proved a major 2018 hit, followed by Black Panther and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. In terms of overall movie viewing, Jurassic World and Step Brothers grabbed the top two spots.
News events that were the top draws included mid-term election coverage, the royal wedding and the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Election Night ranked No. 3 on the list of most-watched live events, which was otherwise dominated by sports, with college football playoff games and Game 5 of the NBA's Western Conference finals completing the list.


70 years ago, nobody doubts that at least some trends have been rescued, such as the mouth of bell, the batinhas, square heels, fashion color block, anyway, there are numerous references that were repaginated, and among them, the psychedelic trend reemerged, which is made up not only by an element, but by several references together, resulting in a unique and extravagant style!
Well, if you're one of the fans of the 1970s, you should get ready because it has returned with the retro wave. One of the represent is the psychedelic: it shows present mainly in the prints with many graphics, geometric and abstract designs, as well as illustrations, stars, lines, spots and images that cause optical illusions.
Do you know tie dye effect? Yes, as well as prints galaxy, I'm sure that it will take over the streets and will appear in many pieces.
For the colors, strong tones are preferable. Bet, then, in the shades of purple, yellow, green and blue, and of course, the classic combination of white with black, it comes with everything!
For those who want to put everything together to create a more thematic look, don't worry too much about the combination, because, after all, that was the time of the hippie movement. Don't forget that this is the fashion of exaggeration and mixtures; it lack the rules, and freedom is one of the premises of the style.
But who wants a more discreet production with many colors, a Hippie Chic, the hint is to bet on the combination of a single psychedelic piece with other basic pieces. For example, you can match a lighter and worn jeans with a white t-shirt.
And of course, It is essential to complete the look in any production accessories, and they can vary according to your personal style.
Anyway, many fringed, shredded, leaked, cutouts and applications parts and accessories are a few features of this charming trend.


Cricklewood Coffee serves ethical sourced coffee that they roast themselves and freshly grind through a traditional manual lever machine. This makes one of the best tasting take away coffees you can get in North West London. James got in contact to offer to donate 50p for every bag of his new Cricklewood Blend ground coffee that he sells. We were delighted to accept, and to taste the wares. Delicious! James plans to make this monthly donation a regular thing. His community spirit is right up our street! Thanks, James!


Could snapping photos of food help you eat healthier?
Showing people the caloric value of their foods before they eat them can help modify their eating habits. Some studies have shown that keeping a food journal helps people stick to their diet. And in an effort to fight rising obesity rates, the FDA announced in 2014 that chain restaurants throughout the U.S. will have to post calorie information in their menus (the rule is set to go into effect sometime next year).
But the FDA rules won't apply to all restaurants. And food diets are cumbersome, tending to go the way of new year's resolutions.
Lose it! thinks that Snap It could be the solution.
But right now Snap It, still in beta, needs some help figuring out what it's seeing. Snap It might be able to identify your roll of sushi as a roll of sushi, but it needs you to specify the type of rice, the type of fish, and any garnishes.
Charles Teague, cofounder and CEO of Lose It!, likes to compare Snap It's trajectory to that of self-driving cars. "Early autonomous vehicles are doing driver assist, like Tesla's auto pilot," Teague told CNNMoney in an interview, adding, "you need to keep your hands on the wheel too."
Right now, the technology behind Snap It limits it. Teague explained that the new feature relies on a neural network that classifies images -- in other words, artificial intelligence that can identify categories of photos.
At this point, Teague said, the technology is sophisticated enough to recognize an apple and classify it as such, but not smart enough to figure out the size, variety or other traits that affect the apple's caloric value.
Eventually, Teague believes the tech should be able to identify foods so well that it won't require any more data to calculate caloric information.
"We want to get to the point where you take the photo and let our intelligence do the work," he said.
But machine learning is tricky, as is counting calories. For Snap It to function as planned, it'll have to overcome some serious challenges.
Take, for example, the difference between a meal with condiments and one without. Dr. Barbara Rolls, who serves as the Helen A. Guthrie Chair of Nutritional Sciences at Penn State, pointed out that modifying a recipe in a way that might not be visible in a photograph could significantly affect its calorie count.
"You could vary the proportions of fat and water and get standard portion variation of a couple hundred calories," she told CNNMoney.
Snap It draws from a wide database that includes information from the FDA, food manufacturers, restaurants and others, but it might not be able to detect deviation from a standard recipe through a photo alone.
That doesn't mean Snap It can't be useful in its current form.
At this point, Rolls suggests dieters ask themselves a question when deciding whether to use products like Snap It: "Is getting the wrong information better than using your senses?" If you don't trust your senses, the answer may be yes.
For some, tools like Snap It can serve as a general guideline -- a way to get a sense of how many calories, on average, are in a plate of fries or a bowl of soup. But, Rolls says, it likely won't be an accurate way for people adhering to strict calorie-based diets to figure out if they've exceeded a limit, or reached a minimum.
So you can keep taking photos of your food. But when it comes to slimming down, you might want to trust your gut more than an app -- for now, anyway.

How Bots and Humans Might Work to Stop Harassment
Technology Ethics
Technology Ethics Resources
This article was originally published in The Atlantic on May 24, 2017.
There're some really bad people who harass journalists. Women and minorities, especially, are the targets of extreme vitriol. Yet many newsrooms do little or nothing to attempt to protect their employees, or to think through how journalists and organizations should respond when harassment occurs.
Harassers and trolls have multiple motivations, often simple racism or misogyny, or in support of misinformation, or to suppress law enforcement or intelligence operations. Frequently, what appears to be multiple harassers are actually sock puppets, Twitter bots, or multiple accounts operated by single individuals.
Sustained harassment can do some serious psychological damage, and I speak from personal experience. Outright intimidation is a related problem, suppressing the delivery of trustworthy news—the kind of news reporting that is vital to democratic governance.
The usual solution is to ignore trolls and harassers, but they can be persistent, and they often game the system successfully. You can mute or block a harasser on Twitter or Facebook, but it's easy enough for them to create a new account in most systems.
If you're knowledgeable in Internet forensics, you can sometimes trace a harasser's account, and "dox" them—that is, post personally identifiable information as a deterrent. However, that really needs to be done in a manner consistent with site terms and conditions, maybe working with their trust and safety team. (Seriously, this is a major ethical and legal issue.)
Or, if you have a thick skin, you can respond with "shock and awe," that is, with a brutal response in turn. Or, you can reason with them, which has sometimes been known to work. Retaliation against professionals, however, often backfires. They're usually well-funded, without conscience, and are often very smart.
One method to address rampant harassment would be for news organizations to work with their security departments to evaluate the worst abuse, and do risk assessment. Sometimes threats are only threats—but sometimes they're serious. News organizations might share information regarding harassers, while respecting the rights of the accused and the terms and conditions of the organizations involved. There are also serious legal and ethical considerations here, to be considered.
Perhaps news orgs could enlist subscribers or other friends to bring harassment to light. Participants in such a system could simply tweet to the harasser an empty message, or with a designated hashtag, withdrawing approval while avoiding bringing attention to the actual harassment. The empty message might communicate a lot, in zero words.
I believe that the targets of harassment need help from platforms, and here's the start of a way that could happen. I'm attempting to balance fairness with preventing harassers from gaming the system, so please consider this only a start.
Let's use Twitter for this thought experiment, mostly because I understand it, and they're genuinely trying to figure this out.
Suppose you're a reporter who is a verified user, and you get a harassing tweet. You'd do a quote retweet to a specific account as a way to report the harassment. That specific account would be a bot which could begin to analyze the harassing tweet. The bot would enter the email and IP addresses of the tweet into a database.
Periodically, a process would run to see if there's a pattern of harassment from that IP or email address, and if so, that account could be suspended and contacted.
While most journalists would find it easy to do such a retweet, perhaps this should be more open to all, which could involve a harassment report button or option in the menu on a particularly tweet. (There's a button and other means within the Twitter UI to do some of this, and Twitter has signaled that more's on the way.)
News orgs also need to step up to protect their own reporters.
They could enlist subscribers or other friends to bring harassment to light. Participants in such a system could simply send an automated tweet to the harasser that says "This account has been reported for harassment and is being monitored by the community." This type of system publicly tells harassers "you are on notice" and the community is watching. Note that this might be easily gamed, unless from verified journalists or similar.
Since this is a significant job, social networks may want to test organizing a volunteer community—like the one Wikipedia has—to help monitor the reports and accounts. Social networks can take it a step further and have trained members of the community respond to some of the harassers (not the bots) to discuss why the tweets were reported for harassment. Teaching moments are important to address harassment. If the social media account user continues the harassment, they get permanently banned from the social network. Some online games have adapted a similar strategy and have had some success with this approach.
I realize these ideas are fairly half-baked; the devil's in the details. I'm also omitting a lot of detail, since that deeply detailed info could help harassers game this or other systems. In any case, we need to start, somewhere. Harassment and intimidation of reporters is a real problem, with real consequences for democracy.

California's Humboldt County is unique with much to see
Humboldt County and its communities are a wonderful blend of the old and the new. Situated in the far northwestern corner of California, it has historically been isolated from much of the State. This has been both good and most recently not so good for an area that has some of the finest natural wonders to be found in the U.S. or the world for that matter.
Nowhere in California has the past been preserved so well as in Humboldt County and places like Ferndale and Old Town Eureka as well as Arcata present the visitor with a very good perspective of a very colorful past.
Like so many other places in the West Humboldt was settled by people attracted to its wealth of natural resources. Arcata, now home to one of California's outstanding Universities, came into existence as the supply base for the gold strikes that were found to the east on the Klamath and Trinity rivers.
Due to the roughness of the terrain, all heavily wooded and with wave on wave of mountains, access by sea was the easiest and quickest way for men and supplies to reach the gold fields. And there was Humboldt Bay, one of the finest natural harbors to be found along the entire Pacific coast north of San Francisco. So shipping has a long illustrious history in Eureka and Arcata, both situated by the Bay.
It wasn't till the railroad finally reached Eureka, some decades after the area was settled, that land transportation became convenient for freight or people.
Today Highway 101, mostly four lane divided highway, offers comfortable access to this corner of the State and for air travelers there is the thoroughly modern County airport at Arcata.
Its relative isolation from the rest of the State has worked well for Arcata, Eureka, Ferndale and other communities by preserving a rural way of life. But the lumber industry which was once its lifeblood has declined so that now the area has been busy reinventing itself as communities filled with artisans, craftsmen and a multitude of activities to bring tourists to the area.
Its natural beauties are unquestioned with its magnificent stands of old growth Redwoods dating back to the birth of Christ, its pristine beaches, and long stretches of shoreline, including the Lost Coast, still as it was when the first white men arrived.
Commercial fishing has also been one of the economic mainstays of the area, and again while still active, it accounts for 40 per cent of the State's catch, it has also been a declining resource in recent decades. The people here have been leaders in seeking a pollution free environment so that Humboldt Bay has remained pollution free and is home to the largest commercial oyster farms in the State and indeed supplies most of the demand for this delectable mollusk.
We recently spent a week in Eureka and adjoining cities with a group of Travel Writers to learn first hand what the County can offer the visitor. And there is a lot to see and to do.
If the visitor wants natural wonders there are the majestic Redwoods in State Parks or the Redwood National Park. The drive on Highway 101 is a delight as it follows the South fork of the Eel River, mostly gentle with very clear water but truly awesome in floods which are a part of the area's history.
A walk in the Founders Grove is like entering Nature's Cathedral with trees so huge that they stretch one's imagination. It certainly did Movie Maker Steven Spielberg's who chose Patrick Point and Prairie Creek State Parks as locations for his movie "The Lost World".
But besides majestic forests there are creeks and rivers to delight any fisherman or camper.
But the attractions of the area do not end there. Ferndale, the entire community, has been named an historic landmark and offers a wonderful view of Victorian architecture. A walk along its Main Street invites a look at a glorious past.
And the same applies to Old Town Eureka which in the past two decades has rediscovered its past and redeveloped downtown to one filled with book stores, art galleries, curio and antique shops and fine restaurants.
Another stop on a tour of the Victorian era and the rough and ready times that preceded it is Arcata. This town was founded as the place where supplies from the sailing ships were loaded on mules for the long trek through the mountains to the gold fields.
Today some very talented people have reinvented the area with small imaginative businesses in everything from recycling glass into unique decorative tableware to purveyors of unique foods, sauces, cookies, candy and other epicurean delights.
In all this entrepreneurial activity breweries and wineries have not been forgotten. The fine wines and brews made here as well as an outstanding regional cuisine must be described in detail and so will be reported in the next issue of Vittles.
We must mention the arts which has ranked Eureka, nationwide, as number one small community in promoting and developing the arts including theatre and festivals relating to them.
Yes, Humboldt has a wide range of festivals and artistic events like the Oyster Festival in Arcata which took place during our visit or the annual Dell ' Arte Made River Festival, a month long event of performances featuring music, comedy, theatre, puppetry and Vaudeville. This all takes place at Blue Lake which has become a haven for artists of all stripes and talents. This event runs from the middle of June to the middle of July each year.
Today the visitor has a wide choice of first rate accommodations like the historic Eureka Inn, a mainstay of Eureka social life since 1922, and now celebrating a 75th anniversary this year, or the new thoroughly modern Doubletree Hotel. And if you want to enjoy the atmosphere and decor of Victorian times there is the Hotel Carter as well as Carter House or the Daly Bed and Breakfast, one of a host of Bed & Breakfast establishments that now dot the County.
If you want elegant accommodations in a scenic rural atmosphere there is the historic BenBow Inn, first established in 1926 and has been ever since the haunt of the rich and famous. Located on the Eel River and adjacent to a golf course it offers luxurious accommodations and cuisine in the heart of the scenic Redwood country.
If your choice of travel is RVing there are many parks in the area and the California State Parks system has 1200 camp sites within easy reach of Eureka, Ferndale and Arcata.
As an important destination for sailing ships the Humboldt region has a rich maritime history, often tragic for the Pacific off its shore is hardly well named and has savage seas in winter from Gulf of Alaska storms.
This Maritime history is a tale to be told and will duly be reported in a future issue of Vittles.
Guide books, maps and schedules of upcoming events can be had by calling the Eureka/Humboldt County Convention & Visitors Bureau at 707 443-5097. Either Don Leonard, executive director, or Kathleen Gordon-Burke, director of marketing, will be pleased to supply any material or information you might need. The Bureau is located at 1034 Second Street in Eureka.

Q: Ruby request to Google timezone API returns ECONNRESET but works from browser My RoR web application needs to send a request to Google timezone API so I added the following Ruby code to the controller:
300:    url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?sensor=false&location=34.0617109,-118.4017053&timestamp=16071"
301:    uri = URI.parse(url)
302:    raw_response = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
303:    parsed_response = JSON(raw_response)

but it fails, and I see the following log on the server
Errno::ECONNRESET (Connection reset by peer):
  app/controllers/projects_controller.rb:302:in `get_rate'

Rendered /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.1.0/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/templates/rescues/_trace.erb (1.5ms)

If I copy the above url and paste it to my browser (Safari), all works fine and I get the following expected response
{
   "dstOffset" : 0,
   "rawOffset" : -28800,
   "status" : "OK",
   "timeZoneId" : "America/Los_Angeles",
   "timeZoneName" : "Pacific Standard Time"
}

The same web app sends the following request to Google geocode API and all works perfectly:
url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=90212&sensor=false"
uri = URI.parse(url)
raw_response = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
parsed_response = JSON(raw_response)

Anyone can please point me to what am I doing wrong?

A: Answering to my own question for others to learn form.
After a lot of research and tries, here is the solution that worked for me:
1 - I needed a key to use Google Timezone API. The requests work fine when you use a browser, but in order to use the API, you need a key and you can get it for free from here
2 - this is how I changed my Ruby code to get it to work
url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?sensor=false&location=34.0617109,-118.4017053&timestamp=16071&key=<google_timezone_api_key_here>"
uri = URI.parse(url)
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
http.use_ssl = true
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
raw_response = http.request request
parsed_response = JSON(raw_response)

The strange thing for me is that, unlike for http requests, the https response I was looking for (the one that's returned if I send the request from the browser) is in raw_response.body and not in parsed_response.
I hope someone else can explain why?

The seismological characteristics of the 15 February 2013 Chelyabinsk bolide explosion are investigated based on seismograms recorded at 50 stations with epicentral distances ranging from 229 to 4324 km. By using 8–25 s vertical-component Rayleigh waveforms, we obtain a surface-wave magnitude of 4.17±0.31 for this event. According to the relationship among the Rayleigh-wave magnitude, burst height and explosive yield, the explosion yield is estimated to be 686 kt. Using a single-force source to fit the observed Rayleigh waveforms, we obtain a single force of 1.03×1012 N, which is equivalent to the impact from the shock wave generated by the bolide explosion.


Many novice Photoshop users asks themselves, what are layers?
They think it's something very complex. If you're one of them, be reassured because it is very simple.
What are layers? Layers are nothing but a stack of transparencies, that's all. See one layer as one transparent (as were used with overhead projectors in the old days).
Nowadays we use Keynote or PowerPoint, but there was a time we used overhead projectors for our presentations.
You can pick up a transparent, draw something on it, take another transparent, draw something on that one. Now put the second transparant on top of the first. Put the stack of transparencies on top of a white paper.
Now, when you view it from above, you see that your two drawings are combined in to one image!
Why would you use layers?
Imagine, you pick up a sketchbook and a permanent marker, and you draw a house, a tree and a dog on the same page.
Now that you have a good look at the drawing, you prefer the house in the middle and the tree to the left of the house. In the case of a sketchbook and a permanent marker, you will have to recreate the drawing.
Imagine now that you draw the house on a page of your sketchbook, but you draw the tree on a transparent. And the dog on a second transparent.
You place the two transparencies on top of the drawing of the house, et voila! If you look at it from above, you see the complete drawing.
Do you want the tree on the other side of the house? Just move the transparent where the tree is on!
Just flip the 'dog transparent' 180 degrees.
So, concluding, by placing each object in an image on its own transparency (read 'its own layer'), you can adjust the objects independently. And that is why you work with layers.
What are Layers? A stack of transparencies, that's all.
So, layers in Photoshop are nothing but a stack of transparencies seen from above on the screen, that's all.
With real transparencies the things you can do are limited, but on a computer with a program like Photoshop the possibilities are endless.
In addition to being able to change the order and position, you can also distort, enlarge or reduce the content of a layer, change color, apply an effect, duplicate, hide, group, etc. Most of these options will be covered in other posts.

A festive way to drink pink in the summer, this sangria calls for macerating stone fruit with cherry liqueur and vodka or tequila, then topping with rose and seltzer.
1. Toss fresh fruits with sugar, vodka, and Luxardo. Cover; refrigerate, tossing occasionally, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. Fill a glass halfway with frozen fruit, if desired. Add macerated fruits, and top with wine and a splash of seltzer, if desired.
