Sparkling wine enthusiasts may turn their noses up at the mention of Prosecco, the world's leading sparkling wine in terms of volume sold (160 million bottles sold), but like many things in Italy, to every rule there is an exception. What is true is that the Prosecco region has grown at a disturbing pace now encompassing a vast territory spanning 9 provinces and 2 regions (Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia). Some argue that this growth was necessary in order to successfully internationally market the brand "Prosecco" but many despair that it has destroyed the name. The naysayers have a point. The vast majority of the Prosecco produced is more akin to soft drinks than the champagne it is emulating. Ironically, Prosecco's origins however are in a town of the same name in Friuli where it was originally produced as a still wine (and to some extent still exists).
The main difference between Prosecco and Champagne is its production method. Prosecco typically uses the Charmat method where the secondary fermentation takes place in large vats rather than in the bottle (champagne method). For a great article on the difference between the methods, see here. Prosecco also uses the green apple-flavoured Glera grape variety (previously known as Prosecco) whereas champagne typically uses more toast and almond-flavoured Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot meunier grapes. Prosecco also tends to be slightly sweet (extra-dry, preferred by Italians, is 12-20 grams residual sugar and dry versions are 20-35 grams residual sugar) and so is served as an aperitivo. For more information on the differences between Prosecco and Champagne, see here.
There is however a small area within the Prosecco region where more refined Proseccos are being produced and this is in the 18,000 hectare Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG subzone. Within this subzone is Cartizze, a 106-hectare cru area renowned for its superior Prosecco production due to its unique microclimate. Cartizze land sells for EUR 2.5 million per hectare and is divided up amongst 140 owners. The soil has firm rock below and crumbly stone, sand, clay and chalky soil on the surface. The climate has constant humidity and is 3 to 5 degrees cooler so that the grapes ripen very slowly.
This slow ripening would particularly benefit the Glera grape variety as it grows quickly. What we noticed first upon arriving in Valdobbiadene was how bushy the vines were, unlike in any of the areas we had been previously.
Next to Cartizze is where we find Bisol, the only Prosecco producer (after 25 years of experimentation) using the champagne method for its top end Prosecco wines in this area. Bisol has been producing wine in Valdobbiadene for 500 years. Eliseo Bisol first started commercially producing still wine before the First World War. Production stopped during the war as this area was on the front line of the war with the Austro-Hungarians. Eliseo's son, Desiderio Bisol, restarted the business in the 1920's and began producing sparkling wines as well as still wines. After the Second World War, Desiderio let his four sons take over the business with Aurelio in charge of the vineyards and Antonio as the president of the company. Production changed to primarily sparkling wines. Today they produce 2.5 million bottles a year of what is referred to as the "Rolls Royce of Prosecco".
Bisol has 177 acres of vines spread over 20 vineyards in the traditional Classico area of Prosecco DOC which spans from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene and includes 3 hectares in the prestigious Cartizze sub-zone. Bisol believes that Glera grapes grown in the Valdobbiadene area have a lot of fruit and acidity whereas those from the Conegliano area are sweeter.
Bisol produces three lines of Prosecco: Belstar is their entry line, followed by Jeio and their Cru line is called Bisol. While the vast majority of the 2,500,000 bottles produced uses the Charmat method, the Bisol family are unique in that they have also been producing Champagne-method sparkling wines in Prosecco for over 50 years. They make both Glera-based and Pinot Nero, Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay based champagne-method sparkling wines. They were also members of the now defunct Talento, an institution created by 40 of the most important Italian sparkling wine houses to create sparkling wines with long secondary fermentations in the bottle and the use of dosage. The result of which is their wine "Talento".
At harvest, Bisol uses plastic baskets with a capacity of 18 kilos each which are stackable so that the grapes are not damaged. They are trying to reduce the amount of sulphur used in producing the wines while maintaining their freshness. Temperature control is paramount in order to create finer bubbles in the Prosecco. The wine must then be stabilized before bottling in order to remove the sediment and reduce any risk of explosion.
Bisol also owns the Venissa estate on the island of Mazzorbo near Burano in Venezia. The estate is a walled vineyard from which they produce a white wine wine from the Dorona grape and a red wine from Merlot and Carmenere vines. The estate also includes a hotel, restaurant, vegetable gardens, orchards and a fish farm.
Belstar is made with 100% Glera grapes from 22 hectares of rented vines. 50,000 bottles are produced per year.
Jeio has been produced since 1990 and is dedicated to Desiderio Bisol as Jeio was his wife's nickname for him. It is a blend of the Glera grapes grown in Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. Some of the grapes come from the same vineyards as used for their Cru Bisol wine and some are purchased from longstanding growers of theirs.

Great article! I had zero understanding of prosecco (other than that I like it!) and now I feel much more enlightened. What is the wholesale or retail price difference between the Belstar and Bisol?
Hi Julie, Thanks! Depends where you live but in the UK, Belstar is about GBP 9-10 per bottle whereas Crede for example (in the Cru line) is GBP 12.50 to 13 or so. I think its worth the price difference depending on the occasion. Wine-searcher.com is a great place to find prices on wines near you.

I love the tactile aspect of threads, fibres, and textiles and the many ways they can be combined and manipulated through line, colour and form. Creating a surface for further additions can be as interesting as the additions that follow.
Inspiration most often comes from nature and family events and activities, but everyday happenings, books, the internet can offer the occasional spark.
Hand embroidery is mostly my first choice for my work but machine embroidery, felting, beads, buttons, wire, dyes, paint are some of the materials that come into play. Recently I've been adding 3 dimensional features to the surface to represent forms.

The team are no stranger to adventures in this region having canoed the Yukon River previously, kayaked, hiked and packarafted from Juneau to Whitehorse via the infamous Chilkoot Trail and both Simon and Richard have competed in the 444 mile Yukon River Quest. This expedition will see Richard reach a personal milestone of 10,000 miles of human powered adventures by canoe, kayak, bike and on foot. For former Royal Marine, Simon it will be a welcomed return to the Yukon since he last competed in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 400 mile race where he placed 2nd.
The project has taken 3 years to mobilize since the team initially met and interviewed Alex Van Bibber, Canada's most decorated outdoorsman at his home in 2014 in the Yukon. Their time has been filled with testing and selection of kit, recruitment and training and of course finding sponsors. Recent winter temperatures in this remote wilderness have been colder than either polar region so the team are prepared for unforgiving conditions. Each day the team aim to ski 15-20 miles pulling their food and equipment unsupported through the Mackensie Mountain Range wilderness.
The Ski to the Edge team are raising money for the Duke of Edinburgh (D of E) Award Scheme and the Alex Van Bibber Memorial Fund to raise funds to help young people develop life and outdoor skills. Closer to home Rich and the Canoe Trail team are an are approved activity provider for the D of E helping young people develop their adventurous side. Larger donations and corporates can benefit from sponsor logos and signed pictures from the expedition as well as corporate talks.
This week one of the coldest places on the planet was Watson Lake in the Yukon at minus 45 C before windchill . The team are heading to Noway early Jan 2018 for a final training session as well as fitness and endurance sessions. Rich will be presenting the D of E Awards at St James Palace on 17th Jan 2018 and will also be MC'ing the water sports pool at the London Boat Show from 10th – 14th Jan 2018.


A totally different type of beside table that works wonderfully.
This stylish bedside shelf by Vibia is made of lacquered metal has three integrated shelves and light.
Rather than having a traditional bedside table that rests on the floor, you could go for something a bit more bold that would go well with most modern bedroom styles.


Hello!! This is Jennifer, and today I'd like to share how to make a reusable shopping list for your planner using Popfizzpaper checklist box stickers. This is very handy because you can use it over and over, and because we'll be using wet-erase markers, you can put it in your planner without worrying about your list smudging. You can even take the list out of your planner and throw it in your bag for on the go.
I made my shopping list for the Happy Planner, but this can easily be adapted for any sized planner, as I will mention below. First, trim your cardstock to about 2 1/2 inches wide. The length will be determined by what type of planner you're using. Since I made mine for the Happy Planner, I did not need to trim the length. Next, take your Popfizzpaper checklist box stickers and lay them down along the right edge of the cardstock. I had an extra grocery cart icon sticker that coordinated with my checklist boxes, so I laid that down on the top of my list. You can make your list double-sided by adding more stickers to the back, lining them up along the left edge of the cardstock.
Before laminating, I added coordinating washi to both sides and rounded the corners. #washiallthethings #teamroundedcorners Now it's time to either run your list through the laminator or use a self-laminating pouch.
After you've trimmed off the excess lamination, it's time to hole-punch your list. If you have a Happy Planner and a disc punch that will go through lamination, you're all set! If you don't, simply use your cover as a template for the holes, mark them with your wet-erase marker, then punch with a regular hole-punch and cut a small slit on the side. For an Erin Condren Life Planner, use the same technique, but punch the holes with a 1/8 inch round hole punch. For a personal or A5 sized list, use a dashboard or divider as your template and punch.
There you have it! A durable shopping list for your planner. Wet-erase markers are easily erased with a damp paper towel and make this project more practical for on-the-go than dry-erase markers, but dry-erase markers can be used as well. Just be careful because dry-erase markers will rub-off very easily. I used the checklist box stickers from the Sunrise Palette kit to match my weekly spread, but these colors are so pretty, that I'm sure I'll be moving this list around in my planner from week to week. Popfizzpaper has many colors of checklist box stickers to choose from, so you'll be sure to find some that will be perfect for this project.

The soils are often distributed in a stratified structure. When an earthquake occurs, there are always risks of liquefaction for stratified soils which can cause serious consequences. The research aims to investigate the liquefaction and post-liquefaction deformation of saturated sand with stratified structure. The influences of liquefaction and post-liquefaction deformation were analyzed by varying the thickness, position, and layers of powdery sands. The findings showed that the correlations between the times taken to reach liquefaction for cyclic loading and the thicknesses of the powdery sandy interlayer are non-linear. With the optimal thickness, the powdery sand interlayer can effectively prevent the transfer of power water pressure. And two-layer powdery interlayer in the sample was more favorable to resist pore water pressure than that with single layer. The strength of post-liquefaction deformation and failure patterns are closely related to the distribution of powdery layer. The work provides new research evidence on the liquefaction and failure mechanism of saturated sands with stratified structure under cyclic loading which often happen during earthquakes.

"The identification of things that make Templeton different from many other companies in your sector. Well that is simple; it is you and Robin. When we place business with Templeton, we deal exclusively with the two of you, not with a junior member of staff. My past experiences with other companies in your sector, is that one deals with an allocated manager, who is more often than not very young with a nice personality, but who lacks knowledge, experience and ability to manage the expectations of the client.
When developing an event, you never seem short of ideas about what to do, where to go and what is right for the particular occasion.
You attend each event in person and oversee the delivery.
During the event, you always seem to keep a close eye on the quality of delivery by parties providing services or catering.
When you have employed people to serve your guests, they have generally been really good people, who show commitment and seem to care.
You also seem always to be alert to the perceptions of your clients.
My overall view is that you put great effort into delivering what you have promised."


Overview: Nestled in quaint New England hills and fields, Adams National Historical Park holds a piece of this nation's history that is worth checking out. Once an epicenter of thoughts and ideas, the land was a sharing ground for those who eventually became the heroes of the United States of America. This not-to-miss attraction continues to inspire future leaders through stellar interpretive programming.

Early settlementsEdit
Initial European contact with the areas which would become German South West Africa came from traders and sailors, starting in January 1486 when Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão, possibly accompanied by Martin Behaim, landed at Cape Cross. However, for several centuries, European settlement would remain limited and temporary. In February 1805 the London Missionary Society established a small mission in Blydeverwacht, but the efforts of this group met with little success. In 1840 the London Missionary Society transferred all of its activities to the German Rhenish Missionary Society. Some of the first representatives of this organisation were Franz Heinrich Kleinschmidt (who arrived in October 1842) and Carl Hugo Hahn (who arrived in December 1842). They began founding churches throughout the territory. The Rhenish missionaries had a significant impact initially on culture and dress, and then later on politics. During the same time that the Rhenish missionaries were active, merchants and farmers were establishing outposts.
On 16 November 1882 a German merchant from Bremen, Adolf Lüderitz, requested protection for a station that he planned to build in South West Africa, from Chancellor Bismarck. Once this was granted, his employee Heinrich Vogelsang purchased land from a native chief and established a city at Angra Pequena which was renamed Lüderitz. On 24 April 1884, he placed the area under the protection of Imperial Germany to deter British encroachment. In early 1884, the gunboat SMS Nautilus visited to review the situation. A favourable report from the government, and acquiescence from the British, resulted in a visit from the corvettes Leipzig and Elisabeth. The German flag was finally raised in South West Africa on 7 August 1884. The German claims on this land were confirmed during the Conference of Berlin. In October, the newly appointed Commissioner for West Africa, Gustav Nachtigal, arrived on the Möwe.[1]
In April 1885, the Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft für Südwest-Afrika (German Colonial Society for Southwest Africa, known as DKGSWA) was founded with the support of German bankers (Gerson von Bleichröder, Adolph von Hansemann), industrialists (Count Guido Henckel von Donnersmarck) and politicians (Frankfurt mayor Johannes von Miquel). DKGSWA was granted monopoly rights to exploit mineral deposits.[2] The new Society soon bought the assets of Lüderitz's failing enterprises. Later, in 1908, diamonds were discovered. Thus along with gold, copper, platinum, and other minerals, diamonds became a major investment.[2]
Lüderitz drowned in 1886 while on an expedition to the Orange River. The company bought all of Lüderitz' land and mining rights, following Bismarck's policy that private rather than public money should be used to develop the colonies. In May, Heinrich Ernst Göring was appointed Commissioner and established his administration at Otjimbingwe. Then, on 17 April 1886, a law creating the legal system of the colony was passed, creating a dual system with laws for Europeans and different laws for natives.[3]

Over the following years, relations between the German settlers and the indigenous peoples continued to worsen. Additionally, the British settlement at Walvis Bay, a coastal enclave within South West Africa, continued to develop, and many small farmers and missionaries moved into the region. A complex web of treaties, agreements, and vendettas increased the unrest. In 1888 the first group of Schutztruppen—colonial protectorate troops—arrived, sent to protect the military base at Otjimbingwe.
In 1890 the colony was declared a German Crown Colony, and more troops were sent.[4] In July of the same year, as part of the Heligoland–Zanzibar Treaty between Britain and Germany, the colony grew in size through the acquisition of the Caprivi Strip in the northeast, promising new trade routes into the interior.[5]
Almost simultaneously, between August and September 1892, the South West Africa Company Ltd (SWAC) was established by the German, British, and Cape Colony governments, aided by financiers to raise the capital required to enlarge mineral exploitation (specifically, the Damaraland concession's copper deposit interests).
German South West Africa was the only German colony in which Germans settled in large numbers. German settlers were drawn to the colony by economic possibilities in diamond and copper mining, and especially farming. In 1902 the colony had 200,000 inhabitants, although only 2,595 were recorded as German, while 1,354 were Afrikaners and 452 were British. By 1914, 9,000 more German settlers had arrived. There were probably around 80,000 Herero, 60,000 Ovambo, and 10,000 Nama, who were referred to as Hottentots.
Rebellion against German rule and genocide of the Herero and NamaquaEdit

Through 1893 and 1894, the first "Hottentot Uprising" of the Nama and their legendary leader Hendrik Witbooi occurred. The following years saw many further local uprisings against German rule. Before the Herero and Namaqua genocide of 1904–1907, the Herero and Nama had good reasons to distrust the Germans, culminating in the Khaua-Mbandjeru rebellion. This rebellion, in which the Germans tried to control the Khaua by seizing their property under cover of European legal views of property ownership (criticised at home for being no real reform of the notion of collective tribal ownership). This led to the largest of the rebellions, known as the Herero Wars (or Herero genocide) of 1904.
Remote farms were attacked, and approximately 150 German settlers were killed. The Schutztruppe of only 766 troops and native auxiliary forces was, at first, no match for the Herero. The Herero went on the offensive, sometimes surrounding Okahandja and Windhoek, and destroying the railway bridge to Osona. Additional 14,000 troops, hastened from Germany under Lieutenant General Lothar von Trotha, crushed the rebellion in the Battle of Waterberg.
Earlier von Trotha issued an ultimatum to the Herero people, denying them the right of being German subjects and ordering them to leave the country, or be killed. To escape, the Herero retreated into the waterless Omaheke region, a western arm of the Kalahari Desert, where many of them died of thirst. The German forces guarded every water source and were given orders to shoot any adult male Herero on sight. Only a few Herero managed to escape into neighbouring British territories.[6]
Nama POWs in 1900
The German official military report on the campaign lauded the tactics:
This bold enterprise shows up in the most brilliant light the ruthless energy of the German command in pursuing their beaten enemy. No pains, no sacrifices were spared in eliminating the last remnants of enemy resistance. Like a wounded beast the enemy was tracked down from one water-hole to the next until finally, he became the victim of his own environment. The arid Omaheke [desert] was to complete what the German army had begun: the extermination of the Herero nation.
—  Bley, 1971: 162
In late 1904, the Nama entered the struggles against the colonial power under their leaders Hendrik Witbooi and Jakobus Morenga, the latter often referred to as "the black Napoleon", despite losing most of his battles. This uprising was finally quashed during 1907–1908. In total, between 25,000 and 100,000 Herero, more than 10,000 Nama and 1,749 Germans died in the conflict.
After the official end of the conflict, the remaining natives, when finally released from detention, were subject to a policy of dispossession, deportation, forced labour, and racial segregation and discrimination in a system that in many ways anticipated apartheid. The genocide remains relevant to ethnic identity in independent Namibia and to relations with Germany.[7]
The neighbouring British objected to what they regarded as the inhumane German policy. This involved maintaining a number of concentration camps in the colony during their war against the Herero and Nama peoples. Besides these camps, the indigenous people were interned in other places. These included private businesses and government projects,[8] ships offshore,[9][10][11] Etappenkommando in charge of supplies of prisoners to companies, private persons, etc., as well as any other materials. Concentration camps implies poor sanitation and a population density that would imply disease.[12] Prisoners were used as slave labourers in mines and railways, for use by the military or settlers.[13][14][15]
The Herero and Namaqua genocide has been recognised by the United Nations and by the Federal Republic of Germany. On the 100th anniversary of the camp's foundation, German Minister for Economic Development and Cooperation Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul commemorated the dead on-site and apologised for the camp on behalf of Germany.[16][17]
First World WarEdit
Main article: South West Africa Campaign
Map of the 1915 South West Africa Campaign
During the First World War, South African troops opened hostilities with an assault on the Ramansdrift police station on 13 September 1914. German settlers were transported to concentration camps near Pretoria and later in Pietermaritzburg. Because of the overwhelming numerical superiority of the South African troops, the German Schutztruppe, along with groups of Afrikaner volunteers fighting in the Maritz Rebellion on the German side, offered opposition only as a delaying tactic. On 9 July 1915, Victor Franke, the last commander of the Schutztruppe, capitulated near Khorab.
Two members of the Schutztruppe, geography professors Fritz Jaeger and Leo Waibel, are remembered for their explorations of the northern part of German South West Africa, which became the book Contributions to the Geography of South West Africa (Beiträge zur Landeskunde von Südwestafrika).[18]
PostwarEdit
After the war, the territory came under the control of Britain and then was made a South African League of Nations mandate. The colony developed peacefully under British rule. In 1990, the former colony became independent as Namibia, governed by the former liberation movement SWAPO.
German legacyEdit
Many German names, buildings, and businesses still exist in the country, and about 30,000 people of German descent still live there. German is still widely used in Namibia, with the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation operating a German-language radio station and broadcasting television news bulletins in German, while the daily newspaper Allgemeine Zeitung, founded in 1916, remains in publication.[19] Deukom, a satellite television service, offers television and radio channels from Germany.[20]
In addition, Lutheranism is the predominant Christian denomination in present-day Namibia.

In 1914 a series of drafts were made for proposed Coat of Arms and Flags for the German Colonies. However, World War I broke out before the designs were finished and implemented and the symbols were never actually taken into use. Following the defeat in the war, Germany lost all its colonies and the prepared coat of arms and flags were therefore never used.

Why Black Homeowners are More Likely to Be Caribbean-American than African-American in New York: A Theory of How Early West Indian Migrants Broke Racial Cartels in Housing
Eleanor Marie Brown, George Washington University Law SchoolFollow
Why are the black brownstone owners in Harlem and Brooklyn disproportionately West Indian? The landlords, West Indian-American? The tenants African-American? These are tough questions. For students of housing discrimination, West Indian Americans have long presented a quandary. If it is reasonable to assume that racial exclusions are being consistently applied to persons who are dark-skinned, one would expect to find that housing discrimination has had similar effects on West Indian-Americans and African-Americans. Yet this is not the case: West Indian-Americans generally own and rent higher quality housing than African-Americans.
Moreover, these advantages began long ago. For example, when racial covenants, that is, restrictions barring racial and ethnic groups from owning real property in particular neighborhoods were rife in New York, they were not consistently applied against West Indians, who were sometimes able to buy into tony neighborhoods. While it is true that such covenants were also inconsistently applied against other ethnic and religious groups such as Jewish New Yorkers, West-Indians still stand out. Since West Indians are overwhelmingly dark-skinned persons of African descent they typically did not have the option of "passing" that may have been available to other groups.
Eschewing more traditional explanations in the civil rights literature, I apply the literature in which racial segregation in real property ownership is conceived as a racial monopoly in which racial cartels appropriate anti-competitive techniques to monopolize access to real property. Maintaining a racial cartel is dependent on white owners maintaining a united front, that is, they must uniformly refuse to sell. Importantly, realtors play a gate keeping role in real estate and West Indians dominated the realtor sector. As realtors, they were expert at finding defectors, namely, whites willing to break norms of racial exclusivity, in exchange for their ability to extract a premium for selling to blacks early. Brokers then proceeded to buy significant numbers of titles, which were then off-loaded to fellow West Indians. West Indian brokers could act in confidence because they had cash-rich clients and were often buying in trust (de facto if not de jure) for fellow West Indians.
In so doing, West Indian brokers in New York were simply replicating techniques that had been utilized by their land-brokering ancestors. I discuss the history that "previews" this period in New York, albeit in a different context: in the British West Indian islands from the migrants originated. There are repeated instances of blacks "busting" white monopolies in land-ownership, throughout the West Indian colonies in contravention of racial norms in the British colonies of who was allowed to own land where. Upon arrival in New York, West Indians encountered another racial monopoly in real property ownership, namely Northern racial segregation. They essentially appropriated the same techniques that they had utilized in the West Indies to break into white neighborhoods in New York.

Two discs, over 50 performers and 1000 years of musical history: even by Jordi Savall's standards, 'Venezia Millenaria' is an extraordinary project – proof of what ambition, imagination and, yes, public subsidy can achieve. From the gorgeous printed book (an actual book, not a booklet) with its abundance of historical images and essays by John Julius Norwich and Judith Herrin among others, to the meticulously researched and often newly arranged tracks, drawing together performers from many different traditions and nations, no expense is spared here in realising this enormous idea in all its richness and variety: telling the history of Venice from 700 to 1797 through music.
Imagine walking through the streets of Venice as centuries slip away around you. Through an open window you might overhear a young noblewoman singing a flirtatious song by Hasse; as you pass an Orthodox church the sound of chanting, ancient as the lagoon itself, leaks out; you pass through a curtained doorway into a tavern where folk musicians from Greece and Armenia are playing their traditional dances. This is the disconcerting experience of listening to a recording whose eclecticism mirrors that of the crossroads-city that is its inspiration.
Savall and his Hespèrion XXI and Le Concert des Nations are joined here by La Capella Reial de Catalunya, an Orthodox choir and soloists on instruments including the oud, duduk, santur and qanun. The result is a chronological musical mystery tour, whose juxtapositions and collisions are often startling. Plunging from the primal ululations of Byzantine or Russian Orthodox chant (whose shared musical roots are amply evident here) into the highly worked sinfonias of Gabrieli or Vivaldi's church music is disorienting but throws up shared points of reference too. The syncopated rhythms that pulse through Willaert's villanesca Vecchie letrose are echoed in the traditional Ottoman dance that follows, and the stile concitato repetitions of Monteverdi's Combattimento (heard here in full – the most substantial work on the recording) recall the thrumming insistence of the Berber music that precedes it.
The characterful instrumental playing of Savall and his colleagues is reflected throughout in the vocal numbers, where colour and drama are prized above beauty, singers captured as though overheard by an anthropologist rather than engineered by a producer. The effect is wonderfully immediate – a snapshot not just of a city but of a spirit of music-making that Savall has pioneered. Many decades since he first began, Savall may have spawned a new generation of imitators, but this musical original is still showing us all how it is done.

Hot rods can be as original as their owners, but even then the formula gets familiar. After all, how much can you deviate from the tiny cab, open wheels and small-block Chevy V-8?
If you're like Bill Aiken, you can find a way to stand out.
His 1923 T-bucket is a showcase of creativity, using a straight-six that was given to him and a box out back making it look somewhat like an El Camino. And when you move beyond the obvious, you'll find a lot to admire in the details.
Aiken had been into muscle cars for much of his life, but he got sick of "meeting himself" on the road. In other words, he wanted to differentiate himself from the scores of Camaros, Mustangs and Corvettes that are staples of car shows.
"I wanted something to be creative," Aiken said.
His first hot rod, another T-bucket, had the traditional Chevy V-8 set up that received a good bit of attention, but he missed the process of building. He sold that car about three years ago.
When he started building his current hot rod, things got interesting.
The engine is a 230-cubic-inch inline six from a 1970 Nova that's been bored .30 over, along with a more aggressive cam and a two-barrel Demon carburetor. Backing the engine is a TH-350 automatic sending power to a rear end from a 1971 Ford Maverick. The front disc brakes came from a 1979 Malibu.
Much of the car is a hodgepodge of parts from Ford, GM and Lowe's. Yes, the grille was a heating grate Aiken found at the hardware retailer. The gauge pods were cut from PVC pipe and the battery box was fashioned from a military ammo can. The windshield is from an actual Model T, and Aiken left the pitted chrome and imperfections.
The body is a fiberglass shell riding on an extended frame. The sides of "pickup" box out back came from a 1957 Chevy hood. On either side are the iconic "bullet" tail lights from a 1959 Cadillac.
Over the four years he was building the car, he picked up ideas from everywhere: Car shows, magazines and other owners.
"I like to visualize and see the lines," Aiken said.
Though he's a pharmacist by trade, Aiken's done much of the body work himself, although he didn't do the machine work. His son Scott rebuilt the transmission and rear end, and he had plenty of help with the interior, paint and pinstripes.
On the road, the vehicle's spirited but doesn't have the tire-squealing torque to make it dangerous. Climbing in or out can be a challenge as there aren't any doors, and the straight exhaust pipes can be loud if you're not into a hearty engine note.
Aiken said he enjoys driving it and taking it to shows, but the best part was building it.
"There's no wrong way or right way to do anything," Aiken said.

An ode to Nabby, the greatest goalie in franchise history
Evgeni Nabokov will ride off into the sunset in teal, the way it should be.
By The Neutral Feb 9, 2015, 1:00pm PST
Share All sharing options for: An ode to Nabby, the greatest goalie in franchise history
The defining moment of Evgeni Nabokov's Sharks career came in one of the most emotionally devastating losses in franchise history. Three overtimes before Brenden Morrow eliminated San Jose from the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Nabokov lunged across his crease and snatched a Brad Richards shot out of mid air, parallel to the goal line, for one of the most memorable playoff overtime saves in recent NHL history.
For a franchise that has often coupled incredible promise with grave disappointment, and for a goaltender who will forever be synonymous with its rise as a contender, it was fitting that Nabokov was responsible for a moment that encapsulated the former a few hours in real time before the Sharks as a whole would experience the latter.
Also fitting: four and a half years after leaving the team in free agency, Nabokov will retire a Shark. The club announced earlier today that they've acquired him from Tampa Bay for future considerations a week after the 39-year-old goaltender passed through waivers unclaimed. He'll announce his retirement on Wednesday, donning the colors of the team he helped guide farther than they'd ever been before, or have gone since, when he posted an incredible .935 SV% as San Jose advanced to Game 6 of the 2004 Western Conference Final. Six years later, in his final season in teal, he was once again part of a Sharks team that made it to the final four.
In almost every way, Nabokov was an anachronism. A goalie who rose to prominence during an era of highly regimented butterfly netminders despite deploying an unconventional hybrid style that relied on athleticism rather than technical poise. The first goaltender in NHL history to even try, let alone succeed in, scoring a power play goal. And, most importantly, a Russian Olympian who developed a close working relationship with Warren Strelow, the legendary goaltending coach who was part of the coaching staff that led Team USA to its iconic 1980 Olympic victory over the Soviets.
It's impossible to talk about Nabokov's time with the Sharks without bringing up Strelow, his mentor and friend who would later turn out regular NHL goalies like Miikka Kiprusoff and Vesa Toskala as well during his time with the Sharks organization before his passing in 2007. Nabokov himself explained their relationship in the 2005 book The Boys Of Winter about the 1980 U.S. Men's Team:
"It's hard to describe what this guy does for us, how helpful he is," Nabokov once said. "You've got to see him with us day after day. This guy gives up all his heart -- everything that he has -- to hockey. His life is hockey. He's watching the tapes all the time. He's talking to you. Anybody can coach. Any goalie who retires can tell you what to do. It's not that hard. But it's harder to go deeper, to get to know the goalie as a person and to understand them. Nobody is able to understand you like Warren does."
We may not have been able to fully understand Nabokov, with his broken English and Russian accent belying an often dry and hilarious sense of humor, but we loved him. At least until Joe Thornton arrived on the scene, perhaps no single Sharks player converted as many Bay Area residents into die-hard hockey fans as the man we still call Nabby.
Nabby wasn't perfect, especially in his first few seasons after undergoing sports hernia surgery soon after the 2005 lockout, but those imperfections made him all the more an embodiment of the 2000's Sharks just as much as Thornton or Patrick Marleau. Selected 219th overall in a round of the NHL entry draft that doesn't even exist anymore, Nabokov will retire as the franchise's all-time leader in games played, wins, shutouts and, in a category he'll likely never have to relinquish, goals. Godspeed Nabby.

And, to some modern readers, his rather dull joke about theology and the idea of three gods in one, the Holy Trinity, adds to the mystery of this unification of life.
In an age aware of much smaller beings like single cells and atoms, it always makes me think of the reproductive forces going on within my body in its viral and cellular forms of life.
I love the humorous colloquialism of "this and that" but it's not the later Cartesian split of interior and exterior, it's the wonderful still surviving unity of the early 17th century; some of this and some of that as ingredients of the whole.
And yet these references to nature are not romantically elaborated to become mythical or personifications of the gods or addressed as deities, as one might find in Shelley or Keats, but they are comparisons made in the knowledge of science as Donne knows it: the Earth is a sphere, the moon influences the tides, and then mystically the wind and breath become the symbol of life and harmony. That is not romantic metaphor it is an insightful creative observation of the facts.
And I suppose it is this holistic quality that brings me back to the "tapestry" metaphor, the connexion that Melville sees, and its great unification in Lovelock's Gaia; a biosphere of dependent interrelationships.
Sadly as Donne was writing Rene Descartes was also beginning his work and in 1664 published a very different world view as much a cause of what in the above essay Eliot calls a "dissociation of sensibility" as were the poets Milton and Dryden that Eliot points to.
A belated Happy New Year to all my friends.


One of the fine things about using Linux is having a real XWindows Server. Why is that do you think? As an Oracle Specialist it occurs from time to time that I have to do an installation on a unix or linux server. Since it is a server usually it does not have a graphical environment. But the Oracle Installer is a graphical application.
So either you have to reroute the graphical output of your application to your XServer or you have to use a remote desktop application like VNC.
If you server does not support a VNCServer you are stuck to the first option (having to reroute the x-output to an xserver on your desktop). On a windows-machine you have to use an X-Windows emulater like cygwin. But on Linux you could do with your native XServer.
But I whished it would be as simple as that. In fact it is quite simple, but it turned out not by default. There are a few prerequisites to be met.
1. Your remote-server, which actually is the X-Client, should be setup to forward X.
In the wiki http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X-forwarding you can find more info about that. But unfortunately you might not have the rights even to look into the file. So you probably need to consult your system's administrator.
2. Now you could try to log on to the server with a terminal session from your Linux (or XWindows emulator).
The difference is that -Y is not secure while -X is. Be aware that -X is capital. Using the lower-case -x turns the X-forwarding off on your ssh-tunnel. To speed things up you could put a C after -Y or -X.
The -X or -Y option should have set the DISPLAY for you. To test it you could run xclock on the terminal. It should display a graphical clock on your desk.
in the terminal. Also you could find it by opening a terminal on your local desktop and running ifconfig.
Or another message that denotes that it can't get a connection to your Display.
This allows all incomming X-requests. In stead of the '+' you could narrow it down by specifying the particular host-name.
Mark that when "ssh -X yourname@remotehost" did set your Display right, your working with X over an ssh tunnel and you should not need to have 'xhost +' issued.
I encountered that this still did not work in my case. I use a Ubuntu distibution using Gnome. And for distributions counts that the [xdmcp] functionality is turned off. XCMCP is the protocol that allows remote login via X. This is recommended since normally you do not want to have 'bad guys' hacking into your XServer. So every X-request is denied.
Then you need to restart GDM, either by logging off or restarting your machine.
Please do not forget to turn it to false after your finished your job!.
Try to do the ssh -X and set your display on your-ip-address:0.0.
After this it worked for me. But I turned of login-security in an earlier stage. So in Ubuntu (7.10 Gutsy Gibbon) goto System/Administration/Login Window. Go to the Security tab and switch of 'Deny TCP connections to Xserver' and the related checkboxes. This did not do the trick for me in the first place. But maybe this was because I did not restart GDM.
Also for this point counts: for your own safety please recheck the boxes afterwards.
At the end I got it working with a little help of my Google-friend. And then it turns out to be simple. So for your convenience and mine I put these steps together in one article.
Hi martien! Are you the one who was developing at T-Mobile quite a while ago?
For a description how to do this using putty & the Xming Xserver for windows!

Colombo: Sri Lanka's military declared a final victory Monday in its decades-old conflict with the Tamil Tigers, with the rebel outfit's entire leadership wiped out.
The founder and leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Prabhakaran has been living underground since 1972 and built up what was once considered one of the world's most disciplined rebel outfits.
He was killed while trying to make a last dash for freedom through government lines in a two-vehicle convoy, but was ambushed by army commandos, according to the army.
The leader of the Sea Tigers, the LTTE's naval wing, Soosai was considered to be among Prabhakaran's top military strategists -- responsible for planning suicide attacks using boats and scuba divers, as well as ensuring the arrival of smuggled weapons by speedboat.
He was killed along with his leader.
The LTTE's ruthless intelligence chief, Amman was seen as another top rebel military planner -- looking for potential targets for suicide bombers, among them presidents, generals and ministers, and identifying and eliminating any dissent within the organisation. He was also wanted by India in connection with the 1991 assassination of former Indian premier Rajiv Gandhi.
He was reported killed during Prabhakaran's last desperate escape bid.
Prabhakaran's 24-year-old son and the head of the LTTE's information technology wing. It was widely believed that he was being groomed to take over the leadership of the rebel outfit in the event of his father's death. His body was found in a patch of jungle where the rebels made their last stand.
The LTTE's political wing leader, Nadesan was a former head of the Tigers' police force. He was named as political chief in 2007 following the death of S.P. Thamilselvan, a pro-peace talks moderate who was killed in a government air raid.
Nadesan was also reported to have died in the final showdown with government forces, along with his wife.
Head of the LTTE's defunct Peace Secretariat, Pulideevan was for many years the public and moderate face of the ruthless rebel outfit, responsible for dealing with the press, humanitarian aid agencies and foreign diplomats involved in peace efforts.
In the hours before his death along with the last group of LTTE fighters and leaders, Pulideevan was said to have been making frantic calls on a satellite telephone with appeals to be evacuated by the Red Cross or United Nations.


Yea, me neither. I have to admit that after having my kids, my already fine thin hair; became even limper and so fragile. For the first ever I really understood what people meant when they said that their hair would break off. There is no shampoo on the planet that was going to breathe any sort of life into my hair. And products, yea those don't work either. Even the ones made for fine, thin, limp, lifeless hair would weigh mine down. Leaving me looking like a greasy, oily mess.
When I was asked to try HASK Bamboo Oil Strengthening Shampoo and Conditioner I had really mixed feelings here. On one hand it had the word oil in the name. My hair and oil did not mix. But on the other, there was no harm in trying since my hair was already a mess.
The day came and their product showed up at my door. Let me tell you, they know how to package a package. All the product came in the best canvas reusable bag ever. It says right on the front "Sure Life Isn't Perfect But My Hair Is". Talk about something to live up for. Then the actual bottles are very spa-esk looking. They are dark brown and the writing is in a cream color. Very pretty and easy to read. Plus they through in a few extra surprises. Some deep conditioner, and some strengthening shine hair oil.
The product smells amazing. Very light, floral, and feminine; and that light scent lasts all day. While it suds up, it is not a huge lather like some other shampoos. Which was a little odd, I like a lot of suds. While it was a decent shampoo, it left my hair a tangled knotted mess. The conditioner was light, but powerful. It removed all that crazy mess I had going on, and left my hair silky smooth; tangle free. Overall, I would only use these two products together.
Now onto how my hair looked after using said product. My hair was very shiny (not in an oily way, but in a healthy hair way), there was some volume in it, very very soft (which my husband loved); and it was strong. I didn't think that you would be able to visually look at hair and see that it was stronger; but you can. And over time using this, my hair got even stronger. The benefits have been huge for my hair.
Now to the downfall, cause no product is perfect. After about 6 hours, my hair starts to look oily and is very weighed down. There is no volume left at all. And certainly no second day hair. It has to be washed daily. And at the point it is to much for my hair. The easy solution was to use this shampoo/conditioner twice a week, then use my normal shampoo/conditioner the other days.
Overall, I will buy this product in the future and continue to use a few times a week. There is certainly enough benefit to be very happy with that.
What are your hair issues? What products have you found that help with these?

New NHS payment scheme aims to encourage pharma to tackle superbugs
Written by First Choice Radio on 12 April 2022
A NHS subscription payment scheme to encourage pharmaceutical firms to develop medicines to tackle superbugs has led to two new drugs being on the verge of becoming available to UK patients.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) said cefiderocol and ceftazidime–avibactam were close to becoming available to treat patients with severe drug-resistant infections who would otherwise have limited or no other treatment options.
Nice on Tuesday published draft guidance estimating their value to the NHS in England, measured in quality-adjusted life years (Qalys).
It said they will be the first antimicrobial drugs to be made available as part of a subscription-style payment model that aims to incentivise research and development of antimicrobials by testing new approaches to evaluating and paying for them.
The new subscription-style payment model is part of a project with NHS England and NHS Improvement and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) designed to try to address the lack of new antimicrobials being developed and the growing threat posed by antimicrobial resistance, Nice said.
Antimicrobial resistance develops when the pathogens that cause infection evolve to make antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs less effective, or stop them from working altogether.
In 2020, only 41 new antimicrobials were being tested in clinical trials compared with about 1,800 immuno-oncology drugs, Nice said.
It added that new antimicrobials, especially those targeting multi-drug-resistant pathogens known as "superbugs", are subject to strict controls to restrict their use to slow the development of resistance, which means sales could be low.
But the watchdog said that the new payment scheme overcomes this by ensuring a fixed annual fee is paid to the company regardless of how many prescriptions are issued.
Nice said that the draft guidance for cefiderocol and ceftazidime–avibactam will inform commercial discussions between NHS England and NHS Improvement and the companies to agree payment levels in "subscription-style" contracts.
It said that the procurement process to select the two products for the project included a maximum contract value of £10 million a year for up to 10 years for each of the products.
This maximum contract value was set at a level where the payments would represent an incentive for investment should other countries pay similar sums, Nice said.
The £10 million a year for 10 years represents England's "fair share" of the revenues needed for companies to make a reasonable return on investments in antimicrobials, it added.
Nick Crabb, programme director in Nice's science, evidence and analytics directorate, said the draft guidance represented an "important milestone" in the UK project.
He added: "Its ultimate goal is to ensure the NHS has access to effective new antimicrobials to call on when needed and patients aren't left without treatment options in the face of growing antimicrobial resistance.
"But we cannot address the global threat of antimicrobial resistance alone, since the UK represents only about 3% of the global market for antimicrobials.
"We are sharing our learning from this project with international stakeholders and encourage other countries to offer similar incentives in their own domestic markets, so that collectively we can achieve a meaningful incentive for global investment in antimicrobials."
The watchdog said it is the the first health technology assessment organisation anywhere in the world to attempt to estimate the full value of an antimicrobial in this way.
Nice said it will issue final guidance once commercial discussions between NHS England and NHS Improvement and the drug manufacturers have concluded.
Richard Torbett, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said: "It is critical that the appropriate frameworks are in place for companies to invest the billions of pounds required to discover the new antibiotics needed for patients.
"We acknowledge the difficulties of generating evidence on the broader public health benefits that antibiotics bring to patients, but it is essential these are fully captured in evaluation frameworks.
"Rapid progress is needed to establish a permanent evaluation and reimbursement approach and deliver the incentives needed to develop these important medicines."
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said: "Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest health threats facing the world and I'm incredibly proud that the UK's world-leading innovations are helping to develop two antibiotics which will save many lives.
"NHS patients with severe resistance to other drugs could soon access these medicines, giving them a much greater chance of survival.
"It's great to see international interest in this new development which will help incentivise investment in developing new antibiotics – together we can ensure our children can continue to treat common infections in the future."

Q: SSH into an AWS EC2 instance running a VPN I want to use a third-party VPN service on a Amazon AWS EC2 instance, and set up NordVPN with OpenVPN.
After following the instructions in this answer I'm still not able to SSH into the instance after activating the VPN.  Does the fact that the Ubuntu machine is running on EC2 require me to do anything else?

A: Would love to know the answer myself, but here is a hack I did.
you can run whatever inside a shell, you'll lose ssh, but it will run from the vpn.
#!/bin/bash

echo "Executing Nord VPN"
nordvpn connect us5215
echo "Executing Python"
python3.8 /home/ubuntu/main.py
echo "Disconnecting VPN"
nordvpn disconnect

A: SSH is not lost by connecting via nordvpn's mesh network.
Mesh networking is a relatively recent addition.

... to you all! Hope your loved ones spoil you all day long! Ali and I haven't swapped cards yet as he left for training at 6am this morning. I've got his stuff all ready to go but I fear I'm not going to be quite so lucky... His final words to me last night before going to sleep were "Please don't be mad at me tomorrow - the weekend snuck up on me quicker than I thought it would...." Oh well, a last minute card and some flowers picked up from Tesco's Express on his way back from training are better than nothing aren't they?! At least we are spending the day together and are having a nice dinner tonight (Mexican - yum!), thats the most important thing after all.
What did I get him? Well, I found this great website called Cocoapod where you can personalise chocolate! As he adores white chocolate, I used their build-a-bar service to create a completely white bar with his name on it. Such a fab website! I wrapped my bar in some brown parcel paper which I stamped with a red heart stamp. It looks really good, so I'm happy.
Anyway, onto my card. I decided to make a gatefold card as this is something a little bit different for me. However, because of that, I'm not quite sure how successful it is....! And whilst I really love this downloaded paper, and in fact all downloaded paper, the final effect never quite looks as professional and glossy as when you use pre-printed manufactured paper. Do you also find that or is that just me?!
Stamps: Pink Cat Studio - Sweethearts.
Paper: Digi download from here.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) and Copics.
Embellishments: Hobbycraft adhesive gems, Sizzix photo corners and ribbon from stash.
Enough of my rambling, enjoy your day!
Great card Stacey. Great image, I like making gatefold cards, just as long as they meet ok in the middle! Know what you mean about downloaded papers - they're just not the same. Looking forward to Monday, c ya then.

In this April 23 photo, Stan Lee, left, and Keya Morgan arrive at the world premiere of "Avengers: Infinity War" in Los Angeles. Lee has taken out a restraining order against Morgan, who had been acting as his business manager and close adviser. Lee took out the order Wednesday, two days after Morgan was arrested on suspicion of filing a false police report.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles police are investigating reports of elder abuse against Stan Lee that come amid a struggle over the life and fortune of the 95-year-old Marvel Comics mogul, court documents showed Wednesday.
Morgan's arrest and ouster is the latest and most dramatic move in the fight that has emerged over Lee's business and estimated $50 million fortune since his wife of 69 years Joan died in July.
Morgan was released Monday after his arrest. He is already serving two years of probation for making criminal threats in an unrelated dispute, and he has been summoned back to court to determine whether he has violated the probation.
