Too funny…

I agree with all of the previous posters on this. I cannot believe anyone would support something like this. It is so pathetic! RJD is not returning, he is dead! I blame Wendy for this! She's trying to cash in on the man's legacy, which is just so sad! Those of us who were lucky enough to see RJD live back in the day know that what a legendary performer he truly was. I saw him both with Black Sabbath and with his solo band. Nobody can take those memories away from me. Those who did not get to see him live should watch the videos of RJD. But don't fall for this hologram nonsense. It's not the same! If they want to perform as a DIO tribute band with Ripper Owens singing, I wouldn't have a problem with that. But this hologram thing is a bad idea that, I hope, will quickly die!

I think I will attend. But only as a hologram of myself.

The Fountain at Okada Manila is a sight to behold. As expansive as 50 Olympic-size swimming pools, the US$30-million fountain's grandeur and accurately choreographed water, light and music performances rival those in Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Las Vegas' Bellagio. Equipped with advanced underwater robots, more than two-thousand lights, dozens of high-fidelity speakers, and more than 700 high-power jets that can shoot water beyond the height of the Okada Manila hotel building, both sides of The Fountain also feature projections during spectacular water shows. A permanent yet invisible performance stage installed in The Fountain's lake enables performers to give the illusion of being able to walk on water, interact with the water features, and amaze the audience with an enthralling, unforgettable show.
A unique venue for special events and concerts and open 365 days a year, The Fountain stands as Okada Manila's bold take on creating a global icon.

Q: How to accept cookies popup within #shadow-root (open) using Selenium Python I am trying to press the accept button in a cookies popup in the website https://www.immobilienscout24.de/
Snapshot:

I understand that this requires
driver.execute_script("""return document.querySelector('#usercentrics-root')""")

But I can't trickle down the path to the accept button in order to click it. Can anyone provide some help?

A: This is one way (tested & working) you can click that button: please observe the imports, as well as the code after defining the browser/driver:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument("--no-sandbox")
chrome_options.add_argument('disable-notifications')
import time as t

webdriver_service = Service("chromedriver/chromedriver") ## path to where you saved chromedriver binary
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=webdriver_service, options=chrome_options)

actions = ActionChains(browser)

url = 'https://www.immobilienscout24.at/regional/wien/wien/wohnung-kaufen'

browser.get(url)

page_title = WebDriverWait(browser, 3).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a[title='Zur Homepage']")))
actions.move_to_element(page_title).perform()
parent_div = WebDriverWait(browser, 20000).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "usercentrics-root")))
shadowRoot = browser.execute_script("return arguments[0].shadowRoot", parent_div)

try:
    button = WebDriverWait(shadowRoot, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "button[data-testid='uc-accept-all-button']")))
    button.click()
    print('clicked')
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    print('no click button')

That page is reacting to user's behavior, and it will only fully load the page once it detects mouse movements, hence the ActionChains() part of the code. After that, we drill down into the shadow root element, we locate the button (using Waits, to make sure it's clickable), and then we click it.
Selenium documentation can be found at https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/

A: The element Alle akzeptieren within the website is located within a #shadow-root (open).

Solution
To click on the element Alle akzeptieren you have to use shadowRoot.querySelector() and you can use the following Locator Strategy:

*

*Code Block:
driver.execute("get", {'url': 'https://www.immobilienscout24.de/'})
time.sleep(10)
item = driver.execute_script('''return document.querySelector('div#usercentrics-root').shadowRoot.querySelector('button[data-testid="uc-accept-all-button"]')''')
item.click()

In a population that can never imagine itself without WiFi, you will think this poster is a sacrilege.
But such a place that posts it exists, and after a few hours of good food, drinks and fun with friends, you will thank them for it.
Come to think of it, Dyce N' Dyne is quite ahead of the curve. A recent study suggested that people have slowly taken a digital detox to begin to immerse themselves to the real world. In this case, though, into a whole new reality of board and card games.
And Dyce N' Dyne is more than willing to keep you within its own realm, as it presents dozens upon dozens of board and card games, updated occasionally so that you look forward to stepping into a new world every time you visit.
Accompanying you in this journey, a menu of comforting food.
Starting off with the Nachos Against Humanity. These bar chow named after this new card game made for the perverse adult in you. Yes. Board games never meant it was all for kids.
Like some Bora Bora Bacon Tempura.
This one can get a bit cloying if you don't eat immediately and turns cold. After all, fat fried in more fat and carbs does sound clumpy. Have it with its sweet honey dip to balance it off.
Other snacks worth your while are some Munchkin Sliders and Legendary Grilled Cheese. Finger foods are great to eat when playing board games as you get their board and card games messy and oily with fun. Don't worry. They don't mind.
Bigger than the sliders, the Mysterium Pulled Beef Burger is the answer when you are breaking up a sweat being all competitive in winning the games. And for some Southern Comfort? Chicken Fried Steak. This is reminiscent of the old southern states of the USA recipe, that the other only one that comes to mind is the one from Ozark's in Baguio City.
Wash it all down with something sweet. A Milo Dinosaur, perhaps? You are reminiscing the guilt-free fun of childhood memories anyway. What better way than through a cold glass of Milo, topped with even more Milo for you to scoop and eat, or mix for an even creamier burst of flavor?
These board game restaurants are beginning to sprout, as it has come to the realization of many that indeed, the best way to know your friends more is when you begin to play something that is as mundane as a Monopoly Board Game. Dyce N' Dyne will be there to be the medium for such togetherness, with some snacks to boot, too!
Dyce N Dyne is located at Unit #3 ground floor of Rosemarie at Elements building, Pasig Boulevard, Pasig (across Seaoil gas station).

Zookeeper feared dead after being mauled by white tiger
KYODO NEWS - Oct 8, 2018 - 21:06 | Urgent, All, Japan
A zookeeper is feared dead after a white tiger mauled him Monday afternoon at a zoological park in the southwestern Japan city of Kagoshima, rescue workers said.
The 40-year-old zookeeper was found collapsed and bleeding from the neck in a cage by a colleague after the Hirakawa Zoological Park had closed for the day. He was unconscious and taken to hospital.
According to the zoo, there are four white tigers in the park. The tiger believed to have mauled the keeper had apparently already been sedated by a tranquillizer gun when rescue workers arrived at the scene.
Police are investigating how the zoological park looks after the white tigers.
The zoo, launched in 1972, is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

An old friend from high school who got in touch with me through the comments (Hi JP) pointed out the Tour de France is coming up. I always manage to forget this for some reason even though it's the only sports event I ever watch. Actually maybe I forget it because it's the only sports event I watch. Here's some pre-race information on who is racing this year. I'm sure everyone is aware that Lance isn't racing.
Doping Investigation. First off, there is a huge question mark on the race right now. There is a Spanish investigation into doping that is going on right now. Ullrich (T-Mobile) was almost banned from racing this year because of it. He has been implicated tangentially but Ullrich says the inferences are not true. Ullrich hasn't been named by the investigation but a Spanish newspaper suggests he is one of the targets. His status is still a little in flux as a result but for now he is in.
Organizers have also asked Team Astana-Wurth to withdraw (they were formerly known as Liberty Seguros) because the Spanish investigation led to the arrest of the former team director of Liberty Seguros. Liberty withdrew and then Astana-Wurth took over the team (hence the rename) and fired the director. But the investigations show at least 15 members of the team may have received prohibited substances. Alexandre Vinokourov is on this team. It's unclear if he could be picked up by another team on such short notice if the team is disbanded. The team wants a sports arbitration court to rule on this. But no one knows for sure who is involved. The investigation has not publically released the information about who is involved and probably won't until the race starts. Crazy!
Then today the UCI president Pat McQuaid stated he wants written statements from each rider stating that they are not involved with this investigation. Who knows what hornet's nest that will stir up. But the implications are potentially impactful to the race. A team could do some investigation and figure out who might be involved and boot them off the team. But doing so this late in the game (the race starts this coming weekend) would have a jarring effect on the team. But if they don't do this and the investigation information is released during the Tour then the implicated riders could be booted at that point. Can you imagine?
It can be found here. Here's a better one where you can see which stages have mountain climbs. If you use Google Earth the entire race has been mapped here. Basically Stage 11 (7/13), Stage 15 (7/18; L'Alpe d'Huez!!), and Stage 16 (7/19) look to be the big mountain stages. Mark your calendars.
Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile). He's back. And no longer does he have to worry about Lance. Kloden's also back on the team. He could rightly be a lead on any team and may cause the same type of "who's the leader here?" problems that Ullrich has had these last few years. I don't recognize a lot of the other riders on the team except Sevilla who is talented. But I hear the team is good. Most people forget Ullrich did win the Tour once. When he was much younger in '97. He's 32 now. That's pushing it but not too much. It's actually a better age than 23 in terms of winning the Tour. His biggest problem? He started training late again. His knees have been bum for most of the season. So what's new?
Alexandre Vinokourov (Astana Wurth). This guy perplexes me. He seems like someone who could be on the podium (top 3). But I always have this nagging feeling he's going to crack. He seems to race stubbornly, meaning he over exerts himself when he should just lay low. It's a winning spirit in one sense but it can lead to utter and complete disaster if it happens at the wrong time. It's also an aspect that the competition can try to take advantage of (Lance did frequently). He's like Maverick from Top Gun. He just doesn't understand strategy and mind games. Plus he's distracted by the investigation around his team.
Floyd Landis (Phonak). One of the few U.S. contenders. I don't think he has the fortitude to dig down deep and come up with a win. I think he's still a little too green. He still needs to undergo some mind crushing defeat and climb back from it to have the constitution to win the Tour. He's has won some stages this year so he's not a pushover. He'll make some stages interesting I'm sure. His team is somewhat weak as well. Botero and Gutierrez are not on the team this year (it's related to the drug investigation) and they helped out immensely last year. He's got mountain and time trial capabilities but he's not the best in either one. And quite frankly he's probably too nice of a guy. I feel this sport requires a certain amount of assholeness to win.
Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Espargne). Remember this guy? Remember the picture? Go read here if you've forgotten. He's the guy who edged out Lance on one of the first big climbs at Courchevel. He eventually burned himself out a few stages later. Probably this win took it out of him. Like Basso an outstanding climber who showed his stuff last year. He's a big unknown. I'm not sure what to think about his chances. He could be the wild card. If he does well then maybe he's another 5 time winner in the making. I just want to see if this guy has the stuff this year.
Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner). A wild card worth mentioning. He's a consistent performer but just never seems good enough to get up on the podium. I really don't think he has a chance because I don't think he has the necessary amount of physical ability. He'll probably place top 10 and maybe top 5.
Ivan Basso (CSC). You have to pick this guy to win. He won the Tour of Italy (natch) this year by an enormous margin. But wins in the season's races don't necessarily mean anything. Lance didn't win any of these races when he won the Tour. In fact no one since Pantani has won both tours. At 28 he's at a good age. Not too young and not too old. And his placements have improved each year - 11th in '02, 7th in '03, 3rd in '04, 2nd '05. He's an excellent mountain climber. As good as Lance in his last year. And mountain climbers always win. His weakness is time trials. He's has improved but he's not going to beat Ullrich unless he's really off this year. He'll have to take time from him in the mountains. Plus I think keeping up with Lance these last few years has given him the confidence to beat anyone.
What's funny is that is exactly what the odds makers have.

Note that the roofs on our houses can go into disrepair during any season they seem like, generally at the most bothersome of times.
A leaky roofing can be befuddling and ought to be readily dealt with as it can rapidly escalate into a larger issue that might end up costing a significant amount to repair.
Preventative roofing upkeep in Quarndon Common.
This is something lots of homeowners and industrial home owners often overlook, not realising it can save you a pretty bit of money in the long run.
Having an arranged yearly upkeep check from one of our specialists suggests you should constantly be one step ahead of any possible roofing problems.
Upkeep might consist of pressure cleaning your roofing a minimum of one session a year, clearing gutters and downspouts, repairing small problems like slipped or used out shingles, examining the status of the soffit and supplying you with a comprehensive and comprehensive status report on the condition of your roofing.
If you are developing your home or an industrial home, you would do well to utilize a skilled and proven roofing business that gets the setup accurate the first time round. This in itself will ensure you a long time of service before any issues develop.
Whether you require roofing repairs, preventative upkeep or setup of a new roofing, you are best served when you pick an expert roofer that is tested and true with a solid track record such as ours.
At the trademark of our business is the devotion and total commitment to quality towards all tasks we undertake.
For the years that we have actually working in service, we have actually left lots of satisfied consumers in our wake who are happy to mention our services to others. Part of our objectives is always to offer absolutely nothing except first-class client service from the point we get your call, to the point when a task has actually been ended up on your home.
From an expert standpoint, setup of roofs is an intricate procedure with much information, which if overlooked can be the reason for significant breakdowns for a property owner leading to unnecessary additional cost down the future road.
Our specialists put in the time to listen to you or your designer in order to offer you with the choices that will better satisfy your needs while supplying the very best bang for your money in the long run.
It's not and has actually never ever been our intent to move or push one roofing product over another; we recommend based upon your needs and your choice wins out.
We understand that the decision to pick the appropriate roofing for your house can be daunting, however we are here to help.
They are colourful due to the mesh mat that is covered in asphalt and sprayed with granules that offer colour and serve to reflect the sunlight. They are really lightweight and have an above typical limit for tearing.
This shingle type is more difficult to work with due to the fact that it's bulkier in contrast to fibreglass. It does, however, provide exceptional stability against high winds. They are made of paper that generally has actually been recycled and saturated in asphalt and sprayed with granules.
This type of roofing tile is long-lasting, terrific looking, and cost-effective. They will often last for the lifetime of a home. They are fire wind and hail resistant as well. Because of their durability they are budget friendly and cost-effective too.
The current patterns in roofing are moving in favour of metal roofing that is far more long lasting and energy effective. In recent times, the need in metal roofing is benefitting from a resurgence as more people are recognizing its benefits of much better security towards things like hail storms, air-borne coal landing on roofs as an outcome of fires and tropical type winds.
An unmatched quality of metal roofing is the reality that it has a class 'A' fire ranking, which is the greatest readily available. This suggests it can withstand the test of 15 cycles of gas flames switched on and off and can endure flames up to 4 hours.
Asphalt shingles at first have a significantly low cost during setup, however their lifetime cost is greater than that of concrete tile, slate or metal roofs due to the fact of their composition.
Building and construction of a flat roofing in Quarndon Common doesn't utilise your routine materials such as corrugated metal, concrete tiles, asphalt shingles. Rather, flat roofing systems need material such as EPDM rubber, TPO, and PVC among others.
Standard materials would not deal with a flat roofing due to the fact that they need pitch in order for the water to cascade. Our primary objective when doing a flat roofing is to just create a barrier that is impregnable by water.
There are 2 choices when it comes to selecting an ideal flat roofing material. The very best method is choosing a compound that is aesthetically appealing while at the same time fits within your spending plan and can attain the apparent objective of being long lasting despite the punishing components.
Although the lifespan of flat roofs differ, they are mainly identified by a few aspects such as proper setup, weather patterns in Derbyshire and also a roofing that is regularly accessed will have the tendency to use down faster.
Although described as flat roofing, this roof has to be angled slightly by a few degrees in order to prevent ponding. This is pretty much like the method guttering is made to be slightly inclined in order for the water to stream to the downspout.
Our team is also geared up to deal with industrial tasks and deliver on time. Naturally, it begins by asking you in regards to the roofing needs of your industrial home.
Normally, aspects to be thought about in figuring out the very best roof for an a business building consist of the area, structure and location of the roofing .
When working with us, you can be sure that your roofing needs will be sufficiently taken care of. Our groups have actually collected a lot of experience from previous jobs and with lots of effective industrial tasks of differing scales under our belt, expect outstanding results when you hand us your job.
Our business exists to create roofing options for everybody in Quarndon Common Derbyshire DE22 5 East Midlands. Call us Today on Tel 0333 335 0384 to reserve a consultation or consultation and get a totally free quote.


Archaeologists from the University of Salford have acted as supervisors to a group of volunteers involved in the excavation of one of Tameside's most historic sites.
The excavations, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and carried out in collaboration with Tameside Local History Forum, took place in Newton Hall during a period of 17 days between 17th April and 7th May and concluded with public open events days on 6th and 7th May.
Considered one of the oldest houses in the North West, Newton Hall was built around 1380 and originally served as a manor house. Famous for its characteristic cruck frame – a particular structure where two or more "A frames" go from the top of the building down to the ground – it was restored in the 1960's and is now privately owned by W Kenyon and Sons.
The initial aims of excavation were to uncover and record the remains of the buildings associated with the farm site that appear on the maps dating from the mid-19th Century to the 1970's and to discover traces of the medieval origins of the cruck hall and its associated buildings. Seven tranches were opened all around the perimeter and a certain number of notable archaeological finds were discovered.
Dating from the 17th Century, the volunteers found the remains of what has been identified as a Bellarmine jar. Originated in the 16th Century in Germany, these jars take their name from Cardinal Bellarmine, one of the Roman Catholic leaders of the counter-reformation who was labelled as a devil by the Protestants. These particular jars were sometimes filled with pins, hair, nail clipping and bird bones and used as a protection from evil spirits or as a good luck charm.
Three finds were especially important to put a tentative date to the farmhouse. First was a George I farthing (or halfpenny) useful in that they were only minted between 1718 and 1724. Secondly was a clay pipe bowl that was dated to between 1640 and 1680. The third artefact was the most exciting, a base of a jar that was green glazed and possibly dating from between late 14th or early 15th centuries.
Overall, the excavations proved to be a success with an incredible support from the local community. Over the 17 days of the excavations nearly 500 people turned up to help the University's team, including nearly 300 children coming from ten local schools. The public open days were a success with nearly 400 people visiting the historic site. The results of this project also suggested that the site is suitable for further investigation based around the same co-operation of volunteers from the community, archaeological socialites and local schools.

Respirators that cover the nose and mouth are called half-mask respirators. Those that cover the face, including the eyes, are called full-face respirators. Both types use any combination of prefilters, filters, and cartridges. The type of filter or cartridge needed depends on the hazard.
Do not wear a half-mask or full-face respirator if you may be exposed to gases and vapors that your cartridge can't protect you against. Also do not wear in places with oxygen deficiencies or other immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) situations.
Read these steps. Talk to your supervisor about any factors that may prevent a good fit.
Wash respirators in warm water with a mild soap after taking out the filters and cartridges. Or follow instructions from your employer or the manufacturer. Rinse in water. Then dry with a lint-free cloth or let it air-dry. Place the respirator in a bag. Store in a cool, dry place. Be sure to replace filters and cartridges per the guidelines of your employer or the manufacturer.


If you know the specific area where your ancestor lived, you may contact the local mortuary [hautaustoimisto/begravningsbyrå] for information about burials that occurred after the 1920s.
Cemeteries and churchyards keep records of the location of graves. Graves are often reused after 25 years, and the tombstones are replaced. But the cemetery records generally provide both birth and death dates of everyone who has been buried there.

Hardage-Giddens Oaklawn Chapel & Oaklawn Cemetery
4801 San Jose Blvd, Jacksonville, FL
Michael Coffman
August 13, 1946 – January 4, 2020
Michael Coffman, 73, passed on Saturday, January 4, 2020 after a long battle with leukemia. Mike was the son of the late Harry J. Coffman, Sr. and the late Mary Ruth Bower Coffman.

Knowing Mike was a wonderful gift! He was so talented and so dedicated to helping artists through dance, painting, acting and writing.
Mike and Keith loved their dogs and memories of them walking with their Afghans in San Marco stands out in my mind.
All blessings and love are shared with you.
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Ila CRIQUETTE gOODSON
Michael had such a talent with the piano, he made our choir sound absolutely wonderful. Only he could do that. I loved the time spent with Mike singing in the choir for many years. He was such a good friend and will surely be missed.
Nancy Debs
Michael was one of the most talented people I have ever known. He was a fabulous musician, artist, and interior designer. And he was so giving of his time and talent. Earlier in the spring of 2019, he painted a beautiful watercolor and donated it to the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund to support other families who were battling cancer. And he was thankful that he was given the opportunity to do this! Michael was always so friendly and always greeted me and others with a warm smile and embrace. He will be greatly missed.
Mary Egstad
Keith I am so heart broken to hear about the passing of Michael. He was a wonderful person and it was an honor and a privilege to be one of his nurses. Please know I hold you close in my thoughts and prayers.
Julia Jenkins
I only met Michael a few times, the most memorable being at a memorial service for Valerie Howard. He was debonair, charming, and very gracious. Before her passing, Valerie sometimes mentioned the most enjoyable times she spent were at soirees Michael and Keith hosted. It was apparent Michael and Keith were truly life partners. To Michael's family, Keith and Keith's family, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing someone you've known and deeply loved is unlike any other loss. I pray God and His Grace keep you all in the palm of His hand and care for you all now and in the time to come. Much love to you all.
To Keith and the family of Mr. Coffman it was a privilege to take care of this Sweet Gentleman and Friend !! It was honor to know him ! I am so Sorry for your Loss and may there be many prayers lift you all up at this time !! Mr.. Coffman will truly be missed =)

Michael was my great-uncle. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to visit with him as an adult, but I'm beginning to understand he was a talented and pleasant person that provided for his community, be it with entertainment, or by giving-back. My thoughts go out to Michael's partner, friends, and family during this difficult time.
Lara Patangan
Keith - I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember all the help Michael gave us when we were buying the Wilson house. My son (now 18!) was just a baby and Michael was so cute with him. My favorite memory is seeing y'all walk down the street together with your dogs. It added so much color and fun to our street. Prayers for your peace during this difficult time.
Tony Testino
I am so saddened of just hearing about Michael passing. I have known Michael for many years and played for him many times at the River Club and other venues in Jacksonville. What a wonderful musician and just a nice man to know. My heart goes out to his loved ones with thoughts and prayers. Many tears today and was so blessed to have known him.
I had the honor of knowing Mike during the time that my husband Ben Brown served as Minister of St.Nicholas Park Christian Church. There are no words to say how much Mike and Keith meant to my family . He was a true inspiration at all times. He personified love for all .
My deepest sympathy to Keith, his family and all his many, many friends.
Laura Laidlaw
To Keith & Pirate, the Coffman family and all dearest friends... I share your heartbreak and pain. Mike has meant so much to me in the 10 years I've known him. Keith, you are part of that and therefore a part of my heart. We have shared many wonderful memories and I am so blessed. We have also shared some struggles and there have been lessons and blessings along the way. Mike has taught me so much and meant the world to me and my mother. We will always sing his praises and smile when we recall all his humor, generosity, compassion and talents that were beyond measure. We will always love you Keith! We thank God for your friendship and we will always cherish the memories of our times together with you and Mike. Mike has made a permanent imprint in my life and will forever and always remain in mine and mother's hearts.
All our love to you,
Laura and June Laidlaw

Things To Learn: Notre Dame's new starters at tackle, rover, safety
By Douglas FarmerAug 30, 2018, 12:00 PM EDT
The expectation is to start off discussing how vital Brandon Wimbush's possibly-improved accuracy will be to Notre Dame's season. It will be important, and therefore discussed, but it is not the greatest takeaway to glean from No. 14 Michigan's meeting with the Irish this weekend. That would be …
How much has Notre Dame's line fallen off from last year?
It is somewhat inevitable the line will not match last season's Joe Moore Award-winning performance. When both pieces of the left-side pairing hear their names in the top 10 of the NFL draft, some regression is to be expected. That does not mean the Irish offensive front will not still be very good and one of the country's best. Any line that includes fifth-year left guard Alex Bars and fifth-year center Sam Mustipher will be no worse than a strength. But can it be more than that?
If it is a dominating force, if first-year starter Liam Eichenberg plays without hesitation at left tackle, if junior Tommy Kraemer excels at right guard as has been long-anticipated, if the line gels as a unit under new position coach Jeff Quinn, then Notre Dame can rely on many of the offensive staples it used last year to get out to an 8-1 start. Wimbush's rushing abilities will be showcased again in the red zone, nearly an unstoppable utility inside the five-yard line. Defenses will have to devote defenders to the blitz in order to create pressure, giving the senior quarterback better odds at finding an open receiver. A young and inexperienced running back corps should have glaringly-open holes to enjoy.
However, if that line is merely very good, then a defense like the Wolverines' could be the undoing of the Irish offense. Eichenberg has hardly played in his collegiate career, let alone started. His lack of emergence a year ago could be considered as incriminating as his step forward this spring has been praised as a breakthrough. Sophomore right tackle Robert Hainsey had an abundance of support last year, as his time share with Kraemer gave him moments to ponder what he was seeing on the field and any time a dangerous pass-rusher faced him, Notre Dame rotated extra blockers to his side.
RELATED READING: Michigan's lines mirror Notre Dame's in pivotal fashion
Those two will be tested this weekend by Michigan ends Rashan Gary and Chase Winovich. The duo combined for 14 sacks and 30 tackles for loss last year. Outside linebacker Khaleke Hudson added eight sacks among 17.5 total tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Eichenberg and Hainsey are not likely to see greater outside rush threats this season. Few schools in the country can claim better.
Saturday night could be all about the pass rush on both sidelines. If Notre Dame can handle Gary and Winovich, it should be well set for the entire season.
Of course, Wimbush's effectiveness will determine quite a bit, as well.
The most-cited stat Sunday morning might not be the final score. Rather, it could be Wimbush's completion percentage, statistically-small sample size ignored and all. Across all of 2017, Wimbush completed just 49.5 percent of his passes. Some of those misses were actually inexcusable drops, others should have been caught but were also not perfectly on-target. A greater number still were poor throws, perhaps due to a mechanical issue, perhaps due to a mental hiccup.
Whatever the situation was, it was.
Rather than focus on Wimbush's final stat line or chalk up the final score as a direct result of it, pay attention to how he does on the plays designed to be sure-things. If Wimbush can build a rhythm with passes to the flat, quick slants and five-yard crossing routes, that will be a step forward hardly seen last year. Against a defense like Michigan's, it will be a notable accomplishment. After all, Wolverines' opponents completed just 48.8 percent of their passes last season.
The Irish may shift some of the offense to further help Wimbush, something that arguably should have been done sometime last year.
"Our confidence in his ability to go be who he is and not try to conform him to who we want him to be (has developed)," Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday. "This is much more about calling the offense for who Brandon Wimbush is than who we want him to be more than anything else and that's what you'll see Saturday night."
For that matter, can Wimbush lead a two-minute drill?
He has not yet, falling short against Georgia and at Stanford, though that was more a general come-from-behind situation than a specific late-game moment. Obviously, part of why this is still such an unknown is the Irish rarely needed to produce in close moments in 2017, winning by an average of 23.6 points in the regular season. Nonetheless, it is an unknown.
"He's a playmaker and he's got to go out there with the confidence to make plays," Kelly said. "He's going to make some mistakes but as long as he understands that within the scope of the offense, making good decisions — he's a smart kid, he cares, but it can't be that we're handcuffing him that he can't go out there and make plays."
Saturday night should be a low-scoring affair. Two top-flight defenses facing uncertain quarterbacks will lead to that, and low scoring often results in one-possession outcomes. If Wimbush does not get the opportunity to put this query to rest this weekend, that could be a good thing for Notre Dame, but it also would mean it probably will not be answered for a few more weeks.
Tony Jones (No. 34) knows he will be rushing behind Alex Bars (No. 71) again this season, but he may not be the one to do so the most given the new running backs in the depth chart. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)
Excluding Wimbush, how will the carries be distributed among running backs?
The dual-threat quarterback will run the ball plenty, sometimes by design and sometimes by necessity. Who else does so frequently is far more curious. Junior Tony Jones will probably start, while sophomore Jafar Armstrong has received the most lauding this preseason, by far. Sophomore Avery Davis is also in the mix, but doubtfully for as much of a workload.
Not to mention the two freshmen, Jahmir Smith and C'Bo Flemister. Not much was seen from either in the preseason, but given the nature of the position, at least one will be needed this fall. Seeing the field at all, even on special teams, against Michigan would be a notable occurrence moving forward.
Asmar Bilal is the biggest, in some regards only, question defensively. Is he ready to seize his chance now that it has finally arrived?
The senior rover has never had a clear path to playing time before. He certainly was not going to force Drue Tranquill to the bench last season, not as Tranquill racked up 85 tackles with 10.5 for loss and had his hand in numerous turnovers. Now, though, Tranquill has moved to the interior, promoting Bilal to starter by default.
He is the only utterly-unproven piece of this defense. The only other wondering comes at safety, where at least junior Alohi Gilman played a complete season at Navy in 2016 and whoever starts alongside him will have beaten out junior Jalen Elliott, establishing a baseline of play commensurate with the 2017-starter's.
Rover has no such assurances. Kelly said freshman Shayne Simon will probably not be relied upon against Michigan. Even if he has not played much, Bilal has seen far more football than Simon has, and that experience may be necessary against a top-15 opponent. But if Bilal proves not up to the moment, Simon's opportunity could be coming sooner than expected.
Speaking of safety, who starts is not yet certain.
There was no official Irish depth chart this week. If there is any moment of the season where that is understandable, it is only this week. Once game film exists, the gamesmanship is nothing but pointlessly aggravating.
For now, senior Nick Coleman is the presumed starter alongside Gilman. There remains a slight chance freshman Houston Griffith gets the nod, but that chance would hinge on Coleman having only moved past Griffith during preseason practice temporarily due to Griffith tweaking a hamstring.

From a lost Australian electronic soul gem, to a cult classic: Shahara-Ja's 'I'm An Arabian Knight' has gained much momentum since it's 2017 reissue, so much so that the Egyptian Lover reached out to the label proclaiming he'd do a remix. The electro innovator who the original release appears to be highly inspired by seemed like a perfect fit for this sleazy late night groover. The result is 3 fresh mixes using elements of the original session tapes and the perfect touch of the Egyptian Lover's signature 808.

New INCB President, plus civil society dialogue on illegal financial flows and their impact on development and security
Adrià Cots Fernández
From the 17th to the 28th of May 2021, the INCB held its 131st session in a hybrid format. During this session, the Board elected Ms Jagjit Pavadia (India) as its new President for a term of one year, as well as the members of the Board's new Bureau (the full details of the new Bureau can be found here).
Ms Pavadia has been a member of the INCB since 2014, and is now at the beginning of her second 5-year term at the Board, which will last until 2025. Prior to that, she held a broad array of positions concerning drug control at the Indian government, and was a member of the Indian delegation to several session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs.
In one of her first tweets after assuming the presidency, Ms Pavadia stressed that drug control measures must respect human rights – a welcome statement that follows the INCB's new emphasis on human rights, already assumed by her predecessor, Mr Cornelis de Joncheere.
Drug control measures must respect #HumanRights. #INCB was pleased to meet with Assistant Secretary-General Ilze Brands Kehris to strengthen cooperation on human rights & drug control. The beginning of a dialogue with @UNHumanRights pic.twitter.com/7c6UQMAUdN
— Jagjit Pavadia (@INCB_President) May 27, 2021
One of the last acts of Mr de Joncheere as INCB President was to chair a hearing on 'illicit financial flows through drug trafficking, and their impact on development and security', which will be the thematic chapter of the Annual Report for 2021. In the presentation of the event, Mr de Joncheere highlighted the valuable role of NGOs towards the achievement of the aims set out in the three drug control conventions. The full recording of the dialogue can be found in this Vienna NGO Committee webpage.

OPEC member Angola is halving the tax rates on development of oil discoveries with less than 300 million barrels of reserves as new President Joao Lourenco is trying to incentivize oil and gas investment in the African country to stop the decline in oil production.
In a series of presidential decrees, Angola has just cut petroleum production tax on so-called marginal fields—such with less than 300 million barrels of reserves—to 10 percent from the typical 20 percent tax. The tax reforms also halved the petroleum income tax on marginal fields to 25 percent from 50 percent.
For gas reserves, Angola is introducing a new legislation for predominantly gas fields outlining the legislative and tax framework for companies to explore for, extract, and sell natural gas. Under the gas tax regime, petroleum production tax will be 5 percent and petroleum income tax 25 percent.
Angola is also introducing a more flexible regime for boundaries on blocks if reserves extend beyond the originally outlined concession block, as long as they don't lie in an area that is already under a concession contract.
Angola's oil fields are maturing and are nearing depletion. Unless new investments are made in new discoveries, things will continue getting worse, the International Energy Agency (IEA) warned in its Oil 2018 report in March 2018.
Last month, Fitch Ratings raised its outlook on the African country to 'stable' from 'negative', saying that its prospects for economic recovery have improved significantly as a result of higher oil prices and fiscal reforms.


Patriot is known for their blazing fast flash based memory. Whether its that new Sector 7 RAM kit, their newest SSD, or a simple flash drive, Patriot has always held the bar high for its products. Today we take a look at the newest release in the USB line-up, the Patriot Xporter Rage 32GB drive. With the ability to have data transferred across 4 NAND chips, the enhanced performance should be nothing to joke about. Join us as we take a look at what the 32GB Rage drive has to offer.
The Patriot Extreme Performance Xporter XT Rage is a USB Flash Drive with both performance and functionality. Featuring an innovative Quad Channel configuration, data is intelligently managed and transferred simultaneously to 4 NAND chips resulting in vastly enhanced performance, particularly write speeds: Rage improves on traditional USB 2.0 Flash Drives to offer up to 27MB/s read and 25MB/s write transfer speeds. Functionality and durability is designed in to the Rage with its rubber coating on the housing and retractable USB connector: the Rage is easier to hold and use, more durable to drops and daily abuse and the connector is protected when not in use. The Patriot Xporter Rage is available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities and carries a lifetime warranty.
The Patriot Xporter Rage 32GB drive was packaged in the typical "Blister Pack" packaging. Let me be the first to say that I truly despise this type of packaging. You always end up having to use a knife or scissors to open the packaging, and with a rubberized product like this, you risk damaging the appearance. On a lighter note, this packaging is good in the fact that little to nothing can happen to your product when this type of packaging is used.
As you can see, there is not much to the blister packaging.
The picture on the left is the front, and the picture on the right is the rear of the packaging.
Didn't you write about a Quad-channel USB 3.0 drive a few weeks ago?
Here is its. It was the Express drive.
Not only is this drive much much faster, even in a USB 2.0 port, but it is CHEAPER and arguably better looking too. And when I finally get that machine wiht a USB 3.0 port, I am going to be in nerd heaven.
That is correct. The Super Talent drive reviewed by Matt Homan is faster. That is not surprising, as it is a newer technology. I'd assume many people know the name Patriot a little better and would rank their products a little higher. This would be why you are paying for the name "Patriot" a little more. The Xporter series is designed with an active lifestyle in mind. While the Super Talent drive appears nicer, if you looked at the two side by side, you can tell this to be true.

Secrets of the Kitchen: Celebrity Chef Stories
April 21, 2019 | Jessie Atkin | This article originally appeared on our sister site: daily-choices.com
The first thing many of us think upon turning out televisions to a cooking show is, how do they keep their kitchens so clean? How do these miracle makers keep their sets, and themselves so together? But, as life has taught most of us, everything is more than surface deep. Celebrity chefs, like all flavors of celebrities, find their way to the headlines sooner or later. Whether it's a scandalous exposé or a drama filled interview there's always something cooking. Below are just a few of the spicier stories that these cooks would rather we didn't still remember. But when they all keep coming back on TV how are we really supposed to forget?
Dinner: Impossible? How about resume impossible? Star, Robert Irvine, was exposed in 2008 as being faker than the icing roses on a birthday cake. He was fired from his show on the Food Network for faking his resume. These weren't small fibs or inconsistencies either. Irvine claimed he had baked the wedding cake for Princess Diana's wedding and that he had been honored as a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.
Obviously his history, and his credibility came under scrutiny. It wasn't just British royalty the chef claimed to have served, but he even insisted he had been working in the kitchens at the White House as well. In the end Irvine had actually, at one point, been employed at the White House. The Food Network gave him his job back a year later.
The Least Talented Chef Ever
Andrew Zimmerman had no respect in 2009 when, the Bizarre Foods host said a few not too kind things about fellow celeb chef Tyler Florence. It was that year that Florence found himself starring on the reality show, Momma's Boys. Zimmerman took out his disrespect in writing on his blog, letting his followers know how little entertainment he found on his TV. "Monday's episode featured the world's least talented TV chef, Tyler Florence, once again churning out the questionable cooking advice and the leading the ladies through a menu of the Mom's fave recipes.
Watching Florence wolf down the food, stare and ogle every [expletive] that strolled by his cutting board and play the role of local TV stud was high-comedy of the highest order," he wrote. Harsh words for such a small time show.
I On July 5th, 1865, the U.S Secret Service was created during the civil war, to battle counterfeiting. When the war ended, around half of all U.S paper currency that was in circulation, was counterfeit.
II Almost 37 million notes roll off the presses every day at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving. More than half of these are $1 bills. Every year, around 95% of the new notes printed are used to replace notes that were already in circulation.
III The bird portrait on the American silver dollar was a real eagle, named 'Peter'. Between 1830-1836, the people who worked at the United States Mint adopted the eagle, and use it as model for the drawings.
IV The eagle died after getting his wing injured in the coining press. After his death, he was stuffed, and put on display in the lobby of the mint. Peter will forever be remembered!
V During the Middle ages, knights found it difficult to carry money around, because of robbers. This situation was very dangerous, because the robber would not only take their money, but also kill them.
VI Knights wear special rings anytime they go out. They would stamp bills with the ring as a means of payment, instead of using cash. The business owners would then later take the bill to the Knight's castle, and get his credit in cash.

Interview with Liam Cooper
Australian solo artist Liam Cooper stopped by to chat his opinion on how the internet has impact the music industry, music recommendations and why music is the right path for him.
Introduce yourself and your hidden talent!
Hello! My name is Liam Cooper, I'm a singer/songwriter from Sydney, Australia. My hidden talent is I can actually clap almost as fast as the fastest clapper in the world. Seriously. Also, I went viral a few years ago in a video I made proposing to my now-wife, Amy. It has 11 million views on YouTube and we still get new views and comments every week
What made you decide that music is the right path for you?
I don't think I ever decided that music was the right or wrong path, it's just who I am. There isn't any other path. I started playing piano when I was 5 years old and I'm about to turn 30 so music has always been in my life and always will be in some shape or form. Before the pandemic, I was performing my cover show Kings of the Keys on cruise ships around the world but being at home for so long has given me time to finally revisit and release my own music. It's amazing to be able to pursue music in so many different forms – I'm so excited to get back on a stage and perform my show again, but I also can't wait to keep sharing more of my own music.
Most of the time a short lyric and melody will come together at the same time, which will be my starting point. I'll then continue writing a melody, usually without lyrics, and add some chords and structure to create a chorus or verse, whichever feels right. I'll continue writing lyrics, then expand into the rest of the song. I think a lot of songwriters will agree that the second verse is the hardest part!
Give our listeners some music recommendations that we should check out!
You definitely need to check out the lead singer of The Killers, Brandon Flowers. He's released two albums, which are a few years old, but they are incredible. Great songwriting, timeless sound and great pop melodies. I'm also a huge fan of NIGHT TRAVELER, a duo from Austin, Texas. And a fellow Aussie you should definitely check out is Tyne-James Organ, who just released his debut album Necessary Evil. Great sound.
How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?
I love this question! I think that the internet has been both a blessing and a curse for the music business. How incredible is it that even as an independent artist, people around the world that I've never met can discover and listen to my music?! To think I have fans in countries I've never been to or heard of is simply amazing. On the other hand, it's made earning money from music more difficult. Smaller independent artists don't get paid much for the small number of streams they receive, sometimes not even enough to cover the cost of making or releasing the song in the first place.

ICU teams report fatigue and frustration as they brace for omicron surge
By Jon Hamilton
Published December 31, 2021 at 3:11 PM CST
Matt Miller / Washington University School of Medicine
When Dr. Tiffany M. Osborn received her COVID-19 vaccination shortly after vaccines became available in late 2020, she felt hopeful about the pandemic's trajectory. A year later, she's sad and frustrated to see so many COVID patients in the ICU.
The latest surge in COVID-19 cases is testing the endurance of intensive care workers at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
"You feel like, 'What am I doing here?' " says Dr. Nguyet Nguyen, a pulmonary critical care specialist at the hospital and assistant professor of medicine at Washington University in St. Louis. "I'm working as hard as I can and still all of these people are dying."
"We're tired," says Dr. Tiffany Osborn, a professor of surgery and emergency medicine. "We see so much needless suffering."
Both doctors say unvaccinated people make up the vast majority of COVID-19 patients in the ICU. Neither doctor expected to be caring for so many desperately ill patients nearly a year after vaccines became widely available.
The toll on ICU workers has increased steadily, despite advances in both preventing and treating COVID-19.
From fear to fatigue
"In the early days, we were all very scared because we had no idea what this was," Nguyen says.
"We didn't know how to prevent it, and we didn't know how to treat it," Osborn says, "and there were a lot of concerns that many of us had about, can we bring this home to our family?"
So Osborn moved into an RV parked in her driveway. She accepted that, but struggled with the burden of watching so many of her patients die.
Often, the best Osborn could do was make sure a dying patient's family got to say goodbye — and even that was only over the phone. One of those calls she helped facilitate from the ICU still haunts her.
"As I turned to leave, I hear this voice come over the phone, this small voice that says, 'I love you, grandpa.' And all I could do is close the door behind me as I left," she says. "It's a very helpless feeling."

Caregivers working with COVID-19 patients in a Barnes-Jewish Hospital intensive care unit write a message of love and support on the glass door facing a patient's room.
When vaccines began to arrive in late 2020, though, Osborn saw reason for hope.
"When you got that vaccine it was like you could feel the pressure coming off of your shoulders," she says.
Health care workers could finally protect themselves with something other than masks and gloves PPE. And it looked like widespread vaccination would reduce the flow of critically ill patients from a torrent to a trickle.
Fast forward a year, though, and that still hasn't happened.
"Most of the people who come to the ICU are still unvaccinated, and they did not have to be where they ended up being," Nguyen says. "So it's very frustrating for us to deal with that on a day to day basis."
The fatigue and frustration may be most acute for intensive care nurses and respiratory therapists, who provide most of the hands-on care in the ICU, Nguyen says. In St. Louis, many have retired early or switched jobs.
Nguyen thinks she understands why.
"We're used to dealing with death, but not at the level that we saw with COVID," she says. "And [we saw] people who were so young, and people who — they didn't have to die."
ICU teams are still having to place otherwise healthy, young COVID patients on the last-ditch life-support machines known as ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation), Osborn says.
"We have capacity for about 12 ECMO machines," she says. "During our last surge, half of them were [being used for] pregnant women."
And most of those pregnant women were unvaccinated.
Nguyen wishes that people who still haven't been vaccinated knew more about what happens to COVID patients in an ICU.
"I don't think that people understand that for a certain unlucky population, COVID is going to kill you," she says. "And it's going to kill you a lot faster than you think."
When COVID patients arrive in the ICU, Nguyen says, she often explains that they need to make decisions about their care right away because within a few hours, many ICU patients are no longer able to speak or think clearly.
Bracing for Omicron
For many weary health care professionals, Nguyen says, each new wave of COVID-19 has been like a punch in the face. "We felt like we were over the peak of Delta and then Omicron comes rolling in and just knocks everybody down again."
ICU teams are better prepared now than they were at the beginning of the pandemic. They've learned what works to keep COVID patients alive, and there are new drugs arriving that promise to reduce the severity of infections.
Even so, the nation needs to focus on prevention rather than counting on treatment, Osborn says.
"This holiday season is really all about those interactions with the people we care so much about," she says. "You don't want it to have to be from a hospital bed with me holding up a telephone so you can talk with your family."

Home Reviews Me Before You
Lauren Yeates
Warning: spoilers ahead
After reading Jojo Moyes' book Me Before You, I had high expectations. I immediately fell in love with the characters and the storyline, so to say I was excited to see the movie was an understatement.
If you haven't heard about it before, Me Before You is about young and quirky Louisa Clark (played by Emilia Clarke), who gets a job as a caregiver for Will Traynor (played by Sam Claflin), a wealthy young banker left paralyzed from an accident two years earlier. Will's negative outlook starts to change when Louisa shows him that life is worth living.
I think Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin did an incredible job with their characters. At the beginning of the film, Sam could have done a better job of portraying a quadriplegic though. However, the rest of the movie was done very well. Even though they never say they love each other, the chemistry was off the charts between the two actors, so "I love you" wasn't really necessary. I think Sam did a great job with being rude in the first half of the film. Even though I love Sam Claflin as an actor, he did such a great job with being an ass that you started to hate him.
The scene where Louisa shaves Will's beard off was really the turning point. The two characters changed from then on. Louisa started caring about Will more, and the way Will started looked at Louisa was just beautiful. I really do think the other reviews I've read online have been very harsh on both of their performances.
The movie did feel quite rushed though, unlike the book where it obviously went into a lot more detail. I understand it's a movie and there are time restrictions but I feel they left out some important details. Two that I noticed were the fact that Louisa asked Will to the orchestra, not the other way around, and their first kiss in the movie wasn't when it happened in the book. I may just be very picky but I thought they were important details to point out. There was also some great dialogue in the film, but great lines were left out as well.
I love Louisa Clark's positive attitude and bubble energy, and Emilia did a great job. I felt like laughing every time she walked in with another ridiculous outfit. You instantly fall in love with that personality.
The relationship Louisa has with her sister is beautiful. The great thing about this movie is they include all types of different relationships, and I think they all teach us something. I know I walked out of the cinema with a new perspective on relationships, especially family. I don't have a sister, but I feel I would have given her a big hug if I did have one.
My favourite scene from this movie was when Will gives Louisa a set of bumblebee tights for her birthday. Her excitement when she unwrapped the present was priceless. You couldn't help but have a smile on your face. It was such a fun and hilarious scene. I could watch it over and over again. It would definitely make you happy if you were in a bad mood.
In conclusion, Me Before You is another outstanding love story, and it really makes you appreciate the little things in life. However, I would have done it differently if I directed it.
If you want to appreciate the film more for what it is, I highly recommend doing the opposite of what I did. Watch the movie before reading the book!
Great chemistry between Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin
Really makes you appreciate the little things in life
Sam's cute smile!

One of my goals for the new year is to stay clear of processed foods and eat healthier. I always thought cereal bars were healthy but when you look at the nutrition label, you see a long list of ingredients including sugars, additives and colorings. I was thrilled when Natural Balance Foods contacted me and asked if I'd like to try out their Nakd bars. Nakd bars are not your typical cereal or granola bar, they consist of usually two to four ingredients of fruits and nuts and are cold pressed to form a chewy bar. They are low in saturated fat, gluten, wheat and dairy free with no added sugars or hidden ingredients. Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diet plans!
The Eat Nakd mixed box of 18 bars combines all of their yummy varieties including my favorites Ginger Bread, Cocoa Orange, Cocoa Delight and Cashew Cookie. They are chewy, smooth and tasted great! The strawberry crunch protein bar tasted like real strawberries and the soya protein crunchies gave it a nice texture.
Nakd bars are not a meal replacement but are the perfect addition to your lunchbox or an on the go snack with a calorie count ranging from 109 - 165. The cost for a box of 18 bars (individual or mixed) is $22.99. A mixed box is the best way to try them all and find your favorite. Purchase through their website and shipping within the US is free for a limited time with no minimum order! They will also include fun freebies in your shipment!
If you try Nakd bars, let me know what you think!

« Grape harvest in Paris | Main | Closeries des Moussis (Bordeaux) »
Cyril Raveau in the vineyard
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain (Burgundy)
The Domaine de Flavigny in northern Burgundy was renamed recently Flavigny-Alesia to highlight the historic importance of this area with the epic Battle of Alesia which took place nearby in 52 BC and where the Roman armies of Julius Caesar fought and defeated a confederation of Gallic tribes led by King Vercingetorix. The ensuing cooperation between the Gauls and the Roman led to the wide development of the viticulture and lots of road building across what is now France. It is interesting to remember that when Julius Caesar brought his troops to Chalon-sur-Saône (southern Burgundy) in 59 BC, he found two Roman wine merchants already established in business trading with the local tribes.
The Romans established lucrative trading relations with local tribes of Gaul and despite having the potential to produce wine of their own, the Gallic tribes paid high prices for Roman wine with a single amphora featuring the entire value of slave (source). Another thing is that unlike the sophisticated Romans, the Gauls used to drink the wine undiluted, which made them be considered uneducated by the latter. Whatever, Flavigny certainly developped a strong viticulture and winemaking very quickly. After the phylloxera, added to the development of waterways and railways between the south of France and the north, the viticulture was gradually abandonned in the Flavigny area (like in many northern regions) in favor of raising meat cows.
The Domaine de Flavigny embodied the renewal of this culture when it set up shop in 1994. When I visited the domaine in 2004 for a winery profile (it was 10 years old back then), the domaine already sparked interest for its range of cuvées, several of them made with now-rare varieties. But since then it has much improved the quality of its production. Cyril Raveau whom I interviewed then left soon after my visit to work for De Montille in Meursault but he since returned to Flavigny where I interviewed him recently.
The press, a few vats
Asked about his experience with the De Montille family when Alix de Montille hired him, Cyril Raveau says that he worked 4 years there as cellar master [chef de cave in French] and he ended up coming back here at Flavigny because in 2010 he was called back by the owner (who lives abroad) who needed to replace his predecessor who had left abruptly; she (the owner) had a project of bringing up the quality in her domaine, so he came back to vinify the vintage 2010. At De Montille as a cellar master he'd be in charge of the vinification of both the reds and the whites, négoce and estate wines. Alix eventually left her responsabilities to her brother Etienne and she has been working on something different since.
Asked about what his experience at De Montille taught him, Cyril says that there are a lot of things he learnt, like the fact to vinify 50 different appellations, the handling of the élevage in barrels, or the art of vinfying with whole-clustered grapes also, which is pretty specific. For the whites he worked a lot on the press programs because it's strategic for the whites, and on this issue he worked with Jean Marc Roulot who has a good experience on the way to program the press. At the time when he arrived at De Montille they were restarting anew with a new chai & vat house and an increasing share of négoce wines.
In the vat room
When he came back here he didn't try to make De Montille wines, because it's a different situation and history, with vines that have been replanted 20 years ago, on terroirs they're still in the process to gauge and analyze. THey had begun to have an idea of these terroirs circa 2005 but there was still work to do. They also work on varieties that aren't Burgundian (like the César, the Pinot Beurrot and the Auxerrois), trying to find the right vinification modes so that these varieties express themselves beautifully. The wine range at Flavigny has thus been re-organized since he came back from De Montille, it began for the vintage 2014, it needed some time to put in place he couldn't have it change overnight in 2010 when he came back. For the non-Burgundian varieties they changed the vinification, the yields, changing also the picking date and the maturity, either earlier or later picking compared with what they used to do before. Cyril considers they have considerably increased the qualitative level of these wines [which were already sought-after cuvées in this domaine before 2010].
More vats
On the Burgundy varieties, for the Aligoté and Chardonnay first, he implemented what he learnt at De Montille and with Jean-Marc Roulot on the pressing modes, except that he works with an oldtimer press, a Vaslin that is not pneumatic, but it's still possible to manoeuver its press style delicately, you just decide appropriately when you have to pause the pressing and when you have to start again. By the way it was a big help when he arrived at De Montille to have this prior experience on this oldtimer Vaslin, this way he really understood the press programs of the pneumatic press, it's like pigeage, when you never did it by hand you may make mistakes when programming an automatic pigeage..
For the reds, even though they had already begun to identify different terroirs at the end of 2005, they now have a certitude about 3 particular soils, very different from each other, with 80 % of the Pinot Noir sitting on a terroir, and the rest either on blue marls [marnes bleues, that can be found in Bandol but are unwelcome here because these marls tend to retain the humidity] or on Jurassic debris from the cliff above (also found in the soil of the Romanée-Saint-Vivant].
Barrel cellar for the reds
For the repartition of the wine volume for the Pinot Noir it's roughly 50 % from the blue marls (cuvée Atrium) and respectively 30 % and 20 % for the cuvées Castellum and Oppidum. For the whites he prefers to make a cuvée per variety rather than dig further on the terroir issue.
The whites and the reds get their élevage in different rooms. This is the room for the reds, it's a bit colder than the one of the whites, which is good because it delays the malolactic, something good for the Pinot noir because the racking is not done at the same time. Many of the barrels are empty now because last year the volume was so low because of mildew. And this year like many others, they lost a lot with the frost of late april. Here last year this room was filled with 85 full barrels (from the vintage 2015) stacked on 3 levels to gain storage room, this wine has been bottled since and now they have a mere 6 full casks... Usually they keep the barrels full so that they don't have to use a sulfur wick but this time they couldn't fill the barrels right away. This year they estimate they'll pick 15 % of a normal harvest, and they'll certainly purchase grapes to compensate. They'll make rosé in particular with some of these purchased grapes because last year when they did one for the first time it was a big success, the wine even going out at the top in a blind tasting.
Flavigny on the hilltop
We drove around the vineyard with Cyril, the weather was very nice and dry and it was good omen for the maturation. The total vineyard surface of the domaine hasn't much changed, it's now 13,5 hectares, all at close distance from the winery and in sight of the medieval village of Flavigny on the top of the hill (picture). This beautiful village has had monasteries and convents for centuries (since 719 AD) and to this day. Speaking of the potential for added surface, Cyril says that in this area there's room for 12 more hectares on soils fit for viticulture. The whole area around Flavigny was covered with vineyards not so long ago, say late 19th century (there was maybe a total of 150 or 200 hectares, Cyril says) and many parcels, apart the ones farmed by the Abbey, owned by workers or families for their own consumption.
Lyre trillising
When this domaine was founded in the early 1990s it reinvented everything as viticulture had all but vanished for decades, and at the time among other experiments (like bringing a few varieties from outside) they had planted vines on lyre, in the attempt to get more exposition to light, but they're reverting back on the issue, the result being not fully positive. Cyril has already brought a number of rows that were formerly trellised on lyre back to the regular single mode. With the experience conducted here and also by others in the Chanpagne region they noticed that the problmem is there's aways one of the twin branched that shades the other. the usual argument in favor of the lyre system is maturation, but here in this region there's no deficit in sun exposition, the plant gets quickly its needs, and the problem with the lyre is the diminished heat on the grapes. The heat, especially from the veraison process, props up the phenolic maturity and eats malic and tartric acids, transforming them into tannin, aromas and more. He shows us inside the lyre how there's a problem because the leaves are too many, and the trimming machine can't fully cut the unwanted foliage in the bottom of the V. Add that to the shade caused by one of the vine branch on the other and this is a real problem.
Vines that were converted from lyre to straight
Asked why he keeps the height of the vines relatively high, Cyril says it's mainly for the back of the workers, he works himself in the vineyard and it's very harmful for your back to bend all day on low-hanging vines. And even if he replants he'll make sure to raise the vine so that workers can do their tasks without bending over all the time.He says that by the way the hardest season in the vineyard is in june, when they put the shoots around the wires under a hot weather, and winter is comparatively more bearable, because you can dress warm and work will keep you warm. About why on the Côte they have lower vines it's in part because they plant at 10 000 vines per hectares to counterbalance the scarcity of available surface and also because a few decades ago they began to use straddle tractors (which aren't fit for high trellising).
These converted vines are pretty healthy with a harmonious repartition of the bunches, he's happy with the result; of course, the tields are half what they were wit the twin-branch system of the lyre.
Pinot Noir on the Oppidum parcel
The conversion of lyre to straight trellising is an arduous process, you don't do that overnight, it takes a few years, but it works, Cyril showed us a few such converted rows (they converted 70 ares). They'll compensate the lower volume of fruit by planting another row between the existing rows, there's enough room for that, 3,3 meter, this will make roughly a 1,6 meter width between the rows after that. For the tools, Cyril says that a small crawler tractor would do a good job or even a small tracteur vignerons.
Speaking of the yields Cyril says he keeps them at 40 hectoliters/hectare and for the reds 30-35. The lyre can yield big volumes, like what they produced in 2008, it was at a rate of 80 ho/ha, but he lowered the yields since he came back.
Aerated earth
The Oppidum parcel sit on the upper slope below the woods and they had a few losses because of foraging wild animals, so they put nets at the end of the rows, the animals venturing rarely deep in the parcels. these pinot noirs were to be picked around september 20, this was the estimation (based on blossoming) at the time of this visit, with at the beginning the plot of Auxerrois, but there'll be interruptions depending of the varieties, the Chardonnay for example being picked early october..
For the soil management, there used to be some herbicide used before he came back but now it's over they do weed control through plowing only. We grabbed the earth and it was indeed of a smooth, aerated quality, it's not compacted like on most conventional vineyards.
Atrium 2015 (Pinot Noir)
back at the winery, we went with Cyril to the barrel room to taste a few reds :
__ Atrium, Coteaux de L'Auxois 2015, Pinot Noir. Entry pinot-noir cuvée of the domaine. Nice vivid color with transparency. Flowery on the nose, peony, gourmand. Supple & balanced mouth, with acidity. Length. Sells well, Cyril says, and the price tag at the domaine is 9 € tax included.
The reds
__ Castellum Coteaux de l'Auxois 2015, Pinot Noir. Also nice light color, obviously no forced extraction. Refined nose. Very nice wine, chewy, silky gourmand with just what you need for tannins. Good deal for 11 € tax included at the domaine. This wine was racked from the barrels in 2016 after the harvest. He buys used casks in Burgundy domaines which he trusts, sometimes they're as young as one-wine old.
__ Oppidum, Coteaux de l'Auxois 2015, Pinot Noir. Nose with small red berries aromas. More wood notes also, Cyril says this cuvée got a good share of one-wine-old barrels. The wine is not fully homogenous yet, needs more time before drinking I guess, Cyril says it's always closed in the early years, and it was bottled relatively recently, in march 2017, Cyril adding that this cuvée needs a longer time than the others to recover from the bottling shock, he noticed that year after year. The vinification is the same than for the other pinots, with racking just after the harvest. Sells for 14 €.
For the reds they keep about 10 % in whole-clustered grapes in the bottom of the fermenters in order to give suppleness in the temperature intertia of the load. They pick on the morning because they want to bring in grapes that are cool (they aren't well equipped in terms of refrigeration units yet). They can pick the whites in the afternoon because they can cool down the pressed juice in a milk tank thereafter if the grapes are warm, settling down the gross lees in the same process. THe vinification lasts 3 weeks for the reds. Speaking of the yeasts, Cyril says that after coming back from De Montille he might have decided to switch to wild yeast right away, except that they lack experience here in this region because the winemaking traditions had vanished until recently, there's no yeast ambiance in the cellars to keep the indigenous yeast alive and active, so they keep using selected yeast, trying to be pragmatic. In the future they'll make the turn when they'll be more secure.
César 2015
__ César, Coteaux de l'Auxois 2015. They worked a lot also on the vinification of this césar, an atypical variety in Burgundy even if in the context of the epic Battle of Alesia between Caesar's Roman armies and the gallic tribes' own, it may be appropriate to have it here... The wine offers a full mouth with a good acidity, supple wine with tannins there, but they're well handled. Nose : aromas of raisined red fruits.
Regarding the filtration for the reds in general, Cyril says that in order to keep the lees in the bottom of the barrels, they make a hole above the bottom and rack the clear juice, slowing down at the end in order to take only clear wine. This way, they'll just do a light filtration before bottling.
The whites
Regarding the vinification of the whites, they are trying to be very careful and precise for the pressing because that's very important for the whites. The Chardonnay and Aligoté are vinfied in a very classical way, with the juice put into casks where the vinification will take place right away after pressing, they're let by themselves on the lees. They'll go through their malolactic quietly the Burgundy way.
For the Auxerrois the vinification takes place in a vat but with more intervention in terms of temperature, keeping very low temperatures to preserve the aromatic side, same for the Pinot Beurot in rosé. Then as soon as the first fermentation is done, they rack and take the lees away, and one week away as the fermentation is waning down they rack again ant take more lees away, they do that 5 times until Christmas until it's clear. They don't want the malolactic on these two varieties because it makes heavy wines (although some people like it that way he concedes). This way he get the fruit and the freshness. They block the malolactic with SO2, making sure there's 30/35 free SO2 in the wine, but the fact there's no lees left helps.
__ Symposium, Coteaux de L'Auxois 2015, Chardonnay. Nice richness feel and balance. Nice tension. Sells for 9 € at the domaine.
__ Aligoté, Coteaux de L'Auxois 2014. Acidulous notes on the nose. Nice Umami feel in the mouth, the wine cats beautifully the palate, a pleasure. Sells for 7 €, good deal.
__ Auxerois, Coteaux de L'Auxois 2014. Aromatic nose. Even better that the Auxerrois we used to buy from there since the last 15 years or more. The wine is more refined. 9 € at the domaine. Note that all the label as well as the cuvées names have greatly improved, the odd, fancy labelling having hindered the sales (I remember a professional buyer telling me years ago that because of the ugly labelling he couldn't add their wines to his portfolio). This has changed and with the focus on quality these wine deserve attention for those eager to explore the hidden treasures of Burgundy. they make a few other wines, including a sparkling, the sought-after rosé from Pinot Beurot (sold out) and Ratafia, see the price list on the right.
