Q: NSMutableDictionary/NSDictionary vs std::multimap Is their a Cocoa container class that functions like the standard template library's multimap, i.e. letting you have multiple values for an identical key? I've been trying to sift through the Cocoa documentation, but no such luck, maybe I'm just retarded?

A: Your options:

*

*Use NSMutableSet, NSCountedSet or NSMutableArray instances as dictionary values. This works fairly conveniently, but does have the downside of exposing your data structure's mutability to all in contact with it.

*Write your own; either as a subclass of NSMutableDictionary, or NSObject.

*Use an existing solution such as OFMultiValueDictionary from the OmniGroup.

A: Nope.
The easiest way to get that behaviour would be to use a dictionary whose values are NSSets, NSCountedSets or NSArrays.

A: To use the standard template library's multimap directly, you can use Objective C++.

Harry Shearer On What's Funny About Nixon And What's Not In New Orleans
At Manhattan's Slipper Room on Wednesday night, Harry Shearer spent two hours on a stage discussing the role he considers his defining one.
Not the megalomaniacal Mr. Burns, who he voices on "The Simpsons," nor Spinal Tap's affably insecure bassist, Derek Smalls. The character Shearer has lived with longest is Richard Nixon. His latest take on the 37th president, "Nixon's the One," can be seen in weekly episodes through Nov. 25 on YouTube.
With the Nixon historian Stanley Kutler, Shearer combed through thousands of hours of the tapes Nixon secretly recorded in the Oval Office, then staged re-enactments of key moments as if captured by hidden cameras, remaining "faithful to the words, the rhythms, and even the pauses," he said. Even so, he said, "it's not a history show, but a character comedy series." My interview with Shearer about all that ran recently in The Wall Street Journal.
After that Slipper Room performance, Shearer, who lives in New Orleans, and I spent some time discussing an issue that just now seems defining for anyone who understands and adores New Orleans indigenous culture. And is distinctly unfunny. Continue reading "Harry Shearer On What's Funny About Nixon And What's Not In New Orleans"
Herbie Hancock Talking Possibilities
Here I am, reading a bit from the beginning of Herbie Hancock's new book, "Possibilities," (Viking) written with Lisa Dickey, at the start of our public conversation last night at Barnes & Noble on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
The upstairs room, less than a dozen blocks from the apartment Hancock live in decades ago, was overflowing. When the time came to field questions from the audience and Hancock waded into the seats, microphone in hand, the staffers looked concerned: But Herbie was just doing what he does—engaging people, and improvising.
I began our talk by reading a bit from his book set in the mid-1960s, when Hancock was a young musician in Miles Davis second great quintet, playing alongside Ron Carter, Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams.
"Miles starts playing, building up a solo, and just as he's about to really let loose, he takes a breath. And right then I play a chord that is just so wrong. I don't even know where it came from—it's the wrong chord, in the wrong place, and now it's hanging out there like a piece of rotten fruit…." Continue reading "Herbie Hancock Talking Possibilities"
Why I'll Tune In To New Orleans City Council Tomorrow (& You Should Too)
Cover "The Mascot," November 15, 1890. Cartoon by F. Bildestein
If you're the sort of person who is inclined to livestream the proceedings of a city council meeting—and I am—you might want to tune in tomorrow (Oct. 24) at 11am EST here.
That's when the New Orleans city council will vote on a final draft of the city's revised Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.
Here's why I've become that sort of person:
• Here's my recent post with some background on the implications for the city's indigenous jazz culture.
• And here's an Open Letter from David Freedman, General Manager of the city's flagship radio station, WWOZ-FM, containing "fourteen questions about the consequences of that Ordinance for live music in New Orleans."
• Here's some relevant background from the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans (MaCCNO).
• And here's one practical illustration of what's at stake.
Now, if you also happen to the be sort of person who will be in Washington, DC for the Future of Music Coalition's Future of Music Policy Summit 2014, please join me on Oct. 27, as I delve more deeply into these and related issues:
"The Fight for New Orleans Jazz Culture, and What It Means"
A frank and open conversation about the tensions between the city of New Orleans and its celebrated indigenous music culture, the current activism surrounding new cultural policy, and the implications for other American cities. Journalist and critic Larry Blumenfeld, who writes for The Wall Street Journal and has delved deeply into this subject, will interview David Freedman, general manager of WWOZ-FM and Ashlye Keaton, entertainment attorney and educator (both cofounders of the and Bernie Cook, Director of Film and Media Studies, Georgetown University.
Includes an open forum for questions and ideas.

Getting Jason Moran's Grammar Down, Through Film
Jason Moran (3rd from left) and members of The Kenwood Academy Jazz Band in "Looks of a Lot"
In March, I wrote about pianist Jason Moran signing on as an artist represented by the Manhattan-based Luhring Augustine gallery, which also has an outpost in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn.
"The new works I'm creating have started to bear objects for the gallery," Moran explained. "It's a natural progression." The papier-mache Fats Waller mask, above, created by Didier Civil, is owned by the gallery. "I actually sold it in a gala auction for Harlem Stage three years ago, and Roland Augustine purchased it," said Moran. "He's a big Fats Waller fan."
So I was intrigued by an invitation to a screening at the gallery's Bushwick space of a new film based about Moran's work, "Jason Moran: Looks of a Lot." Its title was drawn from the name of a piece commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for which Moran collaborated with various Chicagoans, including sculptor and activist Theaster Gates, reedist and composer Ken Vandermark, and the students in The Kenwood Academy Jazz Band.
The film is on one level a documentary about the making of this cross-disciplinary piece. But it also functions on other levels, delving into Moran's relationship with Gates and with the students, and into everyone's motivations for making art. (You can see a video "sample sequence" here.)
"Looks of a Lot" is a window into a longer and more complicated film-in-progress from director and executive producer Radiclani Clytus, in collaboration with co-directors Gregg Conde (who also serves as cinematographer) and Anthony Gannon (editor). Moran's music fascinates most of all for its distinct and often askew rhythms, as well as for everpresent layers of meaning and representation that sometimes build and sometimes clash; Clytus's team captured, through intensive focus and deft editing, both these aspects.
The larger work, Clytus told me, is called "Grammar," a reference to an overarching idea of jazz as "more or less the essence of creativity–its lingua franca as it were," he said.
Here's a brief interview, conducted via email, with Clytus about the project:

In New Orleans, A Young Organization Fights An Old Battle For Culture (Happy Anniversary, MACCNO)
If you'll be in New Orleans on Monday night (October 13), you'd be wise to get down to Café Istanbul. The musical lineup is reason enough—among others, singer John Boutté, drummer Herlin Riley, trombonist-singer Glen David Andrews, and the Treme Brass Band. The club, co-owned by Chuck Perkins, a spoken-word artist with a resonant voice and a big heart, is a particularly welcoming space with good sound.
The real draw is the Second Anniversary Benefit Party for the Music and Culture Coalition of New Orleans (MaCCNO). For more details, look here.
If you've been reading my accounts of the fight for New Orleans jazz culture, you know just how important this young organization has been; if you haven't, you can find some good context here and here. These days, as I try to track the machinations surrounding a new Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and other legislation that will directly affect music and culture in New Orleans, I regularly look to MaCCNO executive director Ethan Ellestad. Beyond its work in galvanizing a community and instigating activism, MaCCNO is a source of open and good information.

Big city newspapers ending; local still strong
Published 3:42 pm Tuesday, January 3, 2023
Newspaper readers in Birmingham, Huntsville and Mobile have a short window of opportunity to hold those papers in their hands.
The Alabama Media Group, owners of those papers, says that after Feb. 26, 2023, one last Sunday, it will permanently stop the presses for The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times and Mobile's Press-Register. The company had already curtailed publishing from daily to three times a week in 2012 — part of a restructuring by parent company Advance Publications that also affected New Orleans' The Times-Picayune.
Even with the progression of web-based media, community newspapers, such as The Brewton Standard, are still committed to a printed version for those who prefer to get their news the "old -fashioned" way.
Robert Blankenship, publisher for The Brewton Standard and other regional newspapers, said that providing a variety of opportunities for news is still key for a local, community newspaper.
"For those of us who grew up reading print versions of newspapers, it can be disappointing to see them discontinued," Blankenship said. "With that said, it is not surprising as more of us grow accustomed to reading our news online. While The Brewton Standard remains committed to our printed products, we are just as committed to providing our readers and advertising clients everything the digital landscape has to offer. With brewtonstandard.com and our eEdition we can accommodate those who prefer digital delivery while also providing our print edition to those who still prefer to hold the newspaper in their own hands. For advertisers, the sky's the limit. Our print product is still here to meet your hyper-local messaging needs while our digital advertising solutions are perfect for a more targeted and proactive marketing approach."
The Brewton Standard has been a source for community news and events since 1906 and will continue to provide coverage of events and people of the community.
"We will continue to provide printed editions filled with events that happen in our community," said Lisa Tindell, editor of The Brewton Standard. "Although the web-based approach to news is growing, I love that we are the only place to find honor rolls, obituaries and school play photos that can be cut out for refrigerators and scrapbooks. It's all about community and that's who we are."

As we gathered our materials to make a wooden spoon reindeer, I quickly realized my five-year-old would not be making a traditional Rudolph. She had bigger plans as she searched for colored beads and hot pink pipe cleaners. So of course I went with it. After all, thinking outside the box is my kind of creative style! Whether you want to make a reindeer with a red nose or a green one, this easy winter craft is a cinch to make and lots of fun for the little ones!
You can paint your spoons if you desire, but we were happy with the color of ours on this day so we left them as is.
For antlers, cut one pipe cleaner in half and twist it around each other to create an antler look. You can see the fun we had trying the antlers on ourselves.
Masking tape holds the antlers on perfectly to the back of the spoon. I love all the fun colors pipe cleaners are available in now! I found a bunch of brightly colored cleaners at the dollar store--score!
Next, we added on the face details with glue. You could stick to the basic googly eyes and pom-poms or use beads, buttons, sequins, and even markers to just draw on a simple face.
As the faces came together, the talk of reindeer names began. I don't know if it's just my kids, but they name everything!
A pipe cleaner around the neck is the perfect scarf for our reindeer. Check out the purple ears! I mentioned that it looked like a winter bear instead of a reindeer and quickly got "it's a baby purple magical reindeer, MOM!" Of course, what was I thinking??
Once these cute reindeer were dry, the kids had so much fun making them talk to each other and flying their magical reindeer through the sky. Here is my two-year-old having some serious reindeer-to-boy chats.
Love the simple crafts that allow the fun to continue after we finish the project.

The Mother of Father's Day
Americana, People, Traditions
https://americanprofile.com/articles/history-of-fathers-day1/
By Linda Hagen Miller on June 10, 2010
Courtesy of Spokane Regional CVB Sonora Smart Dodd started Father's Day in 1910 in Spokane, Wash., inspired by the sacrifices of her father.
https://americanprofile.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sonora-smart-dodd-fathers-day-150x150.jpg
Though he's a father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Jerry Numbers did not appreciate the significance of the home that he and his wife, Bev, purchased in 1972 in Spokane, Wash., until learning later that its original owner helped found Father's Day in 1910.
The 1913 Craftsman-style home was where Sonora Smart Dodd lived for 33 years while promoting a local celebration of fatherhood into a national observance each third Sunday in June.
"The more we learned about the house, about Sonora and about the fact that very few people know Spokane is the birthplace of Father's Day, the more we realized the value of restoring the house and honoring Sonora," recalls Numbers, 72, who helped transform the home from a rental property into the couple's permanent residence and a historical attraction.
During this year's centennial celebration of Father's Day, the Numbers will open their home to public tours, offering a glimpse into the life of the Spokane artist, poet and philanthropist who is best remembered as the Mother of Father's Day.
Two of Dodd's watercolor paintings hang in the parlor, where more than a dozen of her American Indian doll creations are housed in a curio cabinet. Black-and-white photographs of Dodd are displayed, along with her personal collection of coffee cups and mugs dedicated to dads, which the couple obtained while rummaging through storage containers with Dodd's granddaughter, Barbara Hillerman, 75, who now lives in Vienna, Austria.
"Preserving this house helps preserve a part of history that has impacted not only Spokane but all of America and much of the entire world," says Linda Yeomans, 60, a historic preservation consultant in Spokane who helped guide the home's three-year restoration.
Sonora Smart was 16 years old in 1898 when her mother died, leaving William Jackson Smart to raise Sonora and her five younger brothers on a remote farm in eastern Washington. The widowed Civil War veteran was determined to keep his family together even though, under similar circumstances, many men would have sent the youngest children to live with relatives. His example left an indelible impression on his adoring daughter.
She moved to Spokane at age 17 after marrying insurance agent and businessman John Bruce Dodd, and the couple had one son in 1909. That same year, while listening to a Mothers Day sermon at Central United Methodist Church, Sonora Dodd thought about her father, who was living at the time, and wondered why fathers didnt have "a place in the sun, too."
"His kindness and the sacrifices he made inspired me," Dodd told the New York Sun in 1936 for an article about the origins of Father's Day.
Presenting her idea of an annual celebration of fatherhood to Spokane ministers, she convinced the pastors to deliver Father's Day sermons on June 19, 1910. In those congregations, family members wore roses, red for living dads and white for deceased dads, while the mayor of Spokane and governor of Washington issued Father's Day proclamations.
Not content with a local celebration, Dodd spread her passion for a nationally recognized holiday through personal letters, newspaper articles and political avenues. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge suggested that states observe the day, but it was not until 1972, when Dodd was 90 years old, that President Richard Nixon designated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day in America. Today, the holiday is celebrated in more than 50 nations.
Dodd died in 1978 at age 96 and is buried near her husband and her father in the family plot at Spokane's Greenwood Memorial Terrace, where a memorial plaque to the Mother of Father's Day and a meditation garden are to be unveiled this Father's Day.

Massachusetts Mystery: Man Claims He Was Conned Out of $4 Million Lottery Ticket
Friday January 31st 2020
A New Bedford, Massachusetts man has filed a lawsuit against two women who he claims cheated him out of a $4 million lottery ticket.
The man, Joao Luis DaPonte, does not read or speak English, according to a civil lawsuit he filed on January 3 in Bristol Superior Court. He says he believed his scratch ticket was worth $4,000, because the ticket said the prize was "$4MIL" and "mil" means thousand in Portuguese, his native language.
The funds are in an escrow account until a judge decides who is the rightful owner of the prize.
DaPonte purchased the "Gold Rush" scratch ticket for $10 at Cafe Sao Paulo on Bolton Street, New Bedford, on November 23, 2019.
But instead of claiming his prize at a lottery retailer, he approached local woman Maria Oliveira to cash the ticket for him. The lawsuit says that he had heard that Oliveira cashed tickets in exchange for a percentage of the prize.
According to the lawsuit, Oliveira gave DaPonte $3,800. He counted the money and gave her an extra $200 tip. She did not want to take the $200 initially, "but the plaintiff insisted that $200 was the least that he could give her for doing him this favor," court records state.
DaPonte says he put $1,900 in the bank and gave the remainder to his wife "to put away for us."
The lawsuit says that Oliveira then asked Susana Gaspar, her boss at the Goulart Square Bakery in New Bedford, to claim the $4 million prize, which the women would split.
The pair "devised and implemented a scheme" to cheat DaPonte out of his prize, according to court documents. "As part of their scheme, the defendant Oliveira provided the ticket to defendant Gaspar so she could sign the ticket and present it to the Lottery Commission for payment," the lawsuit alleges.
Gaspar did claim the prize, choosing the cash payment option, which was $2.6 million before taxes.
DaPonte was granted a preliminary injunction, and the $1,658,672.80 left after taxes was placed in an interest-bearing escrow account until the owner is determined.
According to the lawsuit, On December 10, DaPonte learned from a friend, Joao Luis Rocha, that Oliveira had bought a $10 "Gold Rush" scratch ticket from Cafe Sao Paulo for Gaspar and it had won $4 million.
DaPonte was surprised that "someone else" had won with the same type of ticket purchased from the same retailer so soon after he won what he believed was $4,000. He showed his friend a photo of his ticket that his wife had taken the same day he bought the ticket.
Rocha told him that he had actually won $4 million, not $4,000.
"At that point, a horrible feeling came over me, that I had been robbed of my winnings," Da Ponte said in court records.
DaPonte then went to a retailer and showed the cashier the photo on his phone. The photo, taken at 11:30 am on November 23 and showing the time and date stamp, is an exhibit in the lawsuit.
"Wow! You're a rich man," the cashier exclaimed.
"I realized that I had been robbed and taken advantage of," Da Ponte said via court documents. "This hurt me so much, and I still feel terrible about this whole situation."
DaPonte's complaint alleges that "The defendants' acts ... constitute knowledgeable assistance contributing to the common tortious plan of depriving the plaintiff of his lottery winnings."
However, attorney Walter P. Faria, who represents the women, said that Oliveira purchased the ticket for Gaspar, who "signed the back of the ticket and turned it in."
Oliveira also claims in her affidavit that she has "never cashed in lottery tickets for anyone" and denies receiving a lottery ticket from DaPonte. She also says she "never gave Mr. DaPonte any money at any time in my life."
The lawsuit says that on December 15, Gaspar, her friend Arnaldo Oliveira, and DaPonte's friend Jose Pires, met to discuss the situation. Pires told DaPonte afterwards that Gaspar claimed that she was "duped" by Maria Oliveira, who told Gaspar she had found the ticket and they could split the prize.
Faria has questioned aspects of DaPonte's story. "Why do you hand it [the ticket] to a stranger?" he asked. "It's hard to imagine someone else (a family member or a friend) didn't recognize it was $4 million, not $4,000."
As for DaPonte's photo of the ticket, Faria said he is not sure if it is authentic or when it was taken.
The circumstances surrounding the lawsuit have become a hot topic of debate in Massachusetts as speculation swirls around the mystery. Some questions being asked include:
Why would DaPonte ask Oliveira to cash his ticket, rather than taking it to a lottery retailer? Was he trying to avoid taxes?
Why would Oliveira cash the ticket for $200, when she would pay about four times as much in taxes?

The facility, which will be built on the grounds of Ketziot prison near Israel's southern border, will accommodate migrants, including women and children, for up to three years before they are deported to their country of origin; those from "enemy" states, such as Sudan, who cannot be repatriated, could be detained indefinitely.
The centre, which will include medical, community and sports facilities, is intended to tackle an immigration problem that politicians say threatens to overwhelm Israel's population of 7.5 million. Speaking 18 months ago, the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said it was time "to stop this growing influx that threatens Israelis' jobs and changes the character of the state".
Every year, thousands of Africans, mostly from Sudan and Eritrea, begin the arduous journey to Israel via the arid Sinai Peninsula, a lawless territory where Bedouin traffickers extract huge fees to smuggle refugees past Egyptian border patrols.
Israel's Interior Ministry estimates that 17,000 people crossed the Israel-Egypt border last year, many more than in previous years. They may have been spurred by Israel's decision to build a sturdy border fence backed up with electronic surveillance equipment.
Reut Michaeli, director of the Hotline for Migrant Workers, said that building a detention centre would do little to deter those in genuine need. "People fleeing for their lives… will not stop coming because they face three years in detention," she said.
Israel claims that most asylum seekers are economic migrants, a view reflected in the number that gain refugee status each year – less than 1 per cent of the total.
But human rights groups say that most of the Sudanese and Eritrean migrants are escaping persecution at home, citing worldwide figures from last year that claim 84 per cent of Eritreans seeking asylum, and around 60 per cent of Sudanese migrants, were eligible for refugee status.
At present, Israel has a policy of not deporting migrants back to Eritrea and Sudan because of the unstable situation there. However, it does not recognise them as refugees.

Luis Canas Reserva Seleccion de la Familia Rioja 2014
Region: Rioja
Winery: Luis Canas
Grape Type: Tempranillo
Notify me of updates to Luis Canas Reserva Seleccion de la Familia Rioja 2014
Luis Canas Reserva Seleccion de la Familia Rioja is made from 85% Tempranillo and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
Aged for 20 months in new oak barrels - 50% French 50% American.
45 years old vines
Alcohol: 14,5º
Total acidity: 5,73 g./l.
Volatile acidity: 0,73 g./l.
Free SO2: 28 mg./l.
Reducing sugars: 1,3 g./l.
The "family reserve" from one of Rioja Alavesa's most enduring family-run wineries. Wines destined to be the Reserva de la Familia label are made from a selection of grapes from old vines, those which combine a series of characteristics such as good orientation and exposure to the sun, and a poor soil which ensures low yields.
This wine is one of very few Rioja wines to blend Cabernet Sauvignon with Tempranillo. Bodegas Luis Cañas was granted permission by the D.O.Ca. to plant this variety as an experiment in the early 1980s.
A brillant garnet color with cherry hints on the edges.
The nose offers a complex variety of aromas that combine to bring an intense and sophisticated wine. Initially we can find very ripe berry fruits, smoky notes, raisins and liquor. After a certain amount of aeration, the cinnamon and jam notes appear and, with a little more time, the roasted and spiced aromas are noticed more clearly.
The palate is full, with a good presence of tannins, although these are offset by the glycerine like character, resulting in a fleshy sensation. Long lasting and lingering finish.
Winemaking and aging:
The grapes were cold macerated for 72 hours upon arrival at the winery. They underwent fermentation at 26º C in sealed cement tanks under constant thermal control, with the must pumped over daily. With the paste devatted by gravity, spontaneous malolactic fermentation took place after 45 days.
The wine was aged for 20 months in 50% medium toasted American and 50% French oak barrels. The barrel ageing not only adds tannins from the wood, but stabilizes the wine naturally. After the final racking, it was clarified in tanks with a small amount of natural egg white, decanted after 30 days and bottled directly without any type of filtration. Because this wine's evolutionary cycle is quite slow, only corks of the highest quality available were used to ensure that it could be prolonged for several years.
"Brilliant violet. Expressive dark berry, cherry cola and vanilla aromas are complemented by suggestions of pipe tobacco and candied flowers. Lush and open-knit, offering appealingly sweet black and blue fruit flavors that tighten up and become sweeter with air. Polished tannins frame a very long, smooth finish featuring hints of cherry preserves and baking spices. Raised in a 50/50 combination of French and American oak. - Josh Raynolds"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (April 2021), 93 pts
"Berry and chocolate with some cedar and vanilla. Full-bodied, yet tight and reserved, with firm tannins and a long, fresh finish. Tempranillo. Drinkable now, but a year or two of bottle age will soften it even more."
- James Suckling (September 2021), 92 pts
Luis Canas Rioja Blanco 2019
Luis Canas Rioja Blanco is made from 90% Viura and 10% Malvasia (60+ years old vines)
Barrel fermented for 3.5 months in new French oak barrels.
Total acidity: 6,5 g./l.
Grapes harvested in small boxes to be selected manually on the table, bunch by bunch.
Beautiful golden yellow, with bright lemony highly-luminous reflections. The nose is fine, with great elegance, combined with floral and fruity tones.
The palate is dry with a crisp acidity that gives its freshness and vivacity, a structured and tasty finish of ripe fruit.
We recommend that you taste it at 8°C.
It is appropriate to accompany shellfish, crustaceans and grilled white fish or fish stews. It also blends elegantly with rice, soft cheeses, blue cheeses, all kinds of mushrooms and fresh fruit.
"Lots of cooked pear with some apple and lemon curd. It's medium-bodied with good fruit and a delicious finish. Creamy texture. Drink now."
- James Suckling (October 2020), 91 pts
"Bright straw-yellow. Mineral-accented pear, peach pit and Meyer lemon aromas are complemented by hints of fennel and vanilla. Taut and focused on the palate, offering nervy citrus and orchard fruit flavors that spread out steadily on the back half. Finishes long and tight, with a repeating mineral note and a lingering bitter pear skin note. - Josh Raynolds"
Luis Canas Rioja Gran Reserva 2014
A deep powerful Gran Reserva from one of Rioja Alavesa's most enduring family run wineries. The hillside terraced vineyards are sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains to the north from harsh weather extremes. Small plot production is utilized in this region of infertile chalky clay soil to produce clusters of excellent quality. Almost 900 plots are needed to complete the approximately 400 hectares of estate-owned or cellar-controlled vineyards, some with vines more than 100 years in age.
Ruby red color with earthy tones. The wine shows finesse, elegance and complexity with good concentration of black fruit, thyme and rosemary with secondary aromas of leather and tobacco leaves. In the palate it is polished and rounded, making it pleasant and easy to drink. Fleshy with both elegance and power. It has touches of black fruit jam and liquorice. A long, delicious and persistent finish.
Suitable for pairing with a long, copious meal where it can accommodate braised vegetables, cold cuts, peppers stuffed with hake and shrimp, mushroom omelettes, cod Rioja style, both red and white meat... and so on.
"Bright ruby-red. Expressive, smoke-accented cherry and blueberry aromas are complicated by floral, vanilla and exotic spice nuances. Sappy, sweet and broad in the mouth, offering lush red and dark berry, licorice and floral pastille flavors that become spicier and livelier as the wine opens up. Shows fine clarity on the long, oak-spiced finish, which is framed by smooth, even tannins - Josh Raynolds"
Luis Canas Rioja Crianza 2017
Luis Canas Rioja Crianza is made from 95% Tempranillo and 5% Garnacha
A classic style Rioja from one of the regions most enduring family run wineries.. The hillside terraced vineyards are sheltered by the Sierra Cantabria Mountains to the north from harsh weather extremes. Small plot production is utilized in this region of infertile chalky clay soil to produce clusters of excellent quality. Almost 900 plots are needed to complete the approximately 400 hectares of estate-owned or cellar-controlled vineyards, some with vines more than 100 years in age.
Made from 95% Tempranillo, 5% Garnacha of 30 years of age, the wine shows a ruby red color, a clean nose with nuances of balsamic, plum and cedar. The palate is smooth and velvety, complex and structured, with fruit, spice flavors with toasted oak. A pleasant finish with red fruits and hints of eucalyptus.
This year in Rioja Alavesa the weather has been especially cold, the summer short and dry, and there has been plenty of rain in early September. This has produced wines with great aromatic notes, particularly those coming from high altitude areas, very fragrant and with great structure.
Winemaking and aging
Upon entering the bodega and passing the selection table, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed before undergoing fermentation and then maceration in stainless steel tanks for a total of 8 days, obtaining better color extraction as well as much more complex wines, suitable for prolonged aging. The wine is clarified with vegetable gelatines and follows anicrobic filtration.
It is ideal to pair with meats; red meat, poultry, small game, oily fish, semi-cured cheeses, spicy dishes and hot dishes such as beans or potatoes Rioja style.
After its primary fermentation, the wine is placed in barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for a minimum of 12 months. It is then bottled for at least another 12 months.
"A medium fruity red with cherry, berry and hints of cedar, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Light austerity at the end makes this interesting. Tempranillo and garnacha. Drink now."
Palacio del Burgo Rioja Reserva 2016
Palacio del Burgo Rioja Reserva is made from 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha & 5% Carignan.
Red ruby color; black pepper and vanilla flavors and some mature black fruit taste too. Well-balanced, well-structured and elegant in mouth displaying some splendid taste of fruit and bouquet too.
" A medium-bodied red with plum, berry and light hazelnut character. Some burnt-citrus undertones. Softness to the tannins. Supple texture. Drink now."
Burgo Viejo Rioja Reserva 2014
Burgo Viejo Rioja Reserva is made from 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha & 5% Carignan.
Burgo Viejo Rioja Reserva presents with red ruby color; black pepper and vanilla flavors and some mature black fruit taste too. Well-balanced, well-structured and elegant in mouth displaying some splendid taste of fruit and bouquet too.

VINIFICATION: Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature; aged in American and French oak barrels -50% each- for 18 months.
Enjoy it with red meat and game.
"Sweet, ripe, plummy nose followed by notes of rosemary and thyme. Enlivening wine with a long and complex aftertaste." Decanter 90 Points
"(raised in a 50/50 combination of new and used French and American oak barrels for 18 months) Vivid ruby-red. An expansive, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, cola, incense and toasty oak, with a sexy floral overtone. Silky and broad on the palate, offering concentrated black raspberry, cherry-vanilla and coconut flavors that become spicier with aeration. In an emphatically fruity style, showing solid closing thrust, strong persistence and gently gripping tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
- Antionio Galloni's Vinous (February 2019), 91 pts
"A small step up in price, the 2014 Reserva (85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 5% Mazuelo) has a similar elegance and purity, with classic vanilla-laced notes of spice, garrigue, cedar, and both cherry and darker currant-like fruits. It's balanced, has fine tannins, and is an outstanding wine. I like it today, but I suspect it's capable of keeping for a decade."
- Jeb Dunnuck (March 2019), 90 pts
"Made from an unusual (for Rioja) blend of Tempranillo with 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from five different Rioja Alavesa villages, this is a serious, new French and American oak-aged red with plenty of tannic backbone, aromas of graphite and cassis and dense blackberry and mocha flavors. 2021-26." - TIM ATKIN RIOJA 2020 SPECIAL REPORT, February 2020, 93 pts
The Luis Canas & Amaren Estate
Bodega Luis Cañas is a family winery which for more than two centuries has devoted itself to viticulture and winemaking. However, it was not until 1970 when Luis Cañas first hit the market selling its young bottled wine which until then it had sold only in bulk. From this date onwards, it begins to experience a rise in sales and what is today one of the leading wineries in the Rioja Alavesa begins to take shape.
1989 marks a new milestone in the winery's transformation when Juan Luis Cañas, the only son of Mr Luis Cañas takes charge of the same. Aged 33 , he brings fresh ideas to the table and begins to develop new wines at the same time as he promotes increasingly aged wines, beginning to lay the foundations of what would later become the new winery.
-The Climate: Fundamentally Atlantic, which thanks to the protection that the Sierra Cantabria provides from the coldest northern winds as well as Continental and Mediterranean influence.
The average annual temperature oscillates between 12.6º and the 13.2º. There are large fluctuations in the temperature between the morning and the night at harvest time, which is very positive for the quality of the grapes.
Average rainfall is around 400 mm. and 600 mm
- The Soil: The soil is poor and of a clay loam or chalky clay type, ideal for obtaining grapes of an extraordinary quality.
- Altitude: Our vineyards are located between 450 and 600 meters in altitude.
- Grape Varietals:
TEMPRANILLO: The most important indigenous red variety in the D.O. RIOJA. And one of the biggest varieties in the world. It produces wines for length ageing, very balanced in their alcoholic degrees, color and acidity.
GRACIANO: An indigenous red variety with a great future in Rioja and so its surface area is increasing. It produces wines with considerable acidity and polyphonelic content, ideal for growing, whose aroma is superior in intensity to the rest of the Rioja verities. A perfect complement to the Tempranillo for ageing.
VIURA: The most extensive white variety in Rioja. It produces fruity wines, with a floral aroma and a notable degree of acidity, ideal for preparing both young white and vintage wines.
MALVASÍA: A White variety that produces wines of great oiliness and aromatic intensity.
The Luis Canas & Amaren Vineyards
The vineyard is the star of a landscape where the plots of land, mainly located on slopes and terraces, being protected to the north by the imposing presence of the Sierra Cantabria.
Villabuena is a town located to the south of the province of Álava, where the city of the vineyard and the preparation of wines is practically the sole activity that is carried on.
It is in this region of Rioja Alavesa where the most suitable conditions arise for obtaining large vineyards of a superior quality.
22 hectares of vines of over 60 years of age and 30 hectares of between 30 and 60 years make up a vineyard which is the strongest indication of the wine cellar.
The old vineyards achieve a perfect balance given their low production level, having very deep roots that offer the wines complexity, minerality and personality as well as making them more resistant to drought.
Vines that are checked and run by the agronomic engineers from our field department in which rational wine-growing that is respectful of the environment.
All of the forms of treatment that are carried on at the vineyard are restricted to minimally aggressive products and methods which include amongst others, the prohibition against the use of herbicides and the use of fertilizers that are always organic.
The purpose is to make use of a vineyard with a powerful defensive system that is capable of being defended from external threats with no need for artificial assistance. In this way we achieve complete respect for the land. The native soil is a fundamental part of the distinguishing personality of each region. We also manage to make the vines healthier.

Ayni Vino de Parcella Gravas 2017
Ayni Vino de Parcella Gravas is 100% Malbec
Ayni Gravas was created show the diversity of wine profiles that can be derived from Paraje Altamira's terroir. The goal with this particular wine is to show a markedly calcareous profile that derives in a more intense black fruit flavor profile and a chalky tannin structure with great age potential, as opposed to the more feminine and elegant style which is typical from Paraje Altamira wines.
Chakana plans to further develop this wine, increasing its accents through vineyard selection and oak aging. Over time, production can potentially increase to 10,000 bottles (maximum).
Ayni Gravas is produced from smaller plots of a 20 hectare vineyard in Paraje Altamira, Valle de Uco, Mendoza. Paraje Altamira is a Geographical Indication (IG) located on the alluvial cone of the Tunuyan River. The Ayni vineyard has been planted on virgin soils on the upper (south western) side of the cone. The vineyard is crossed by numerous smaller river beds that once formed the river delta, and these create a pattern of different soil depths and gravel formations, imparting very different characteristics on the wine. Ayni Gravas is produced only with the sections of the vineyard where the calcium carbonated gravels come to the surface and the vines grow amongst them with no soil. Only a smaller percentage of the vineyard (approximately 20%) features these conditions.
Pairs well with grilled meats and stews.
"Dark medium ruby. Enticing violet lift to the aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and licorice; wild but not excessively so. Juicy and fine-grained, with penetrating chalky minerality enlivening the flavors of crushed blackberry, flowers and spices. In a very savory, almost salty style, finishing dry and firm, with fresh, fine-grained tannins and lovely energy and length. (just 12.5% alcohol; from the same vineyard as the Ayni Vineyard Paraje Altamira but from a selection of soils) - Stephen Tanzer"
- Antonio Galloni's Vinous (June 2019), 91 pts
"There is a new 2017 Ayni Parcela Gravas, a selection of Malbec from their Ayni vineyard in Paraje Altamira from very shallow plots with a high content of limestone. The nature of the soils might have resulted in some stress in a warm and dry year like 2017, and the wine felt a bit ripe and with harsher tannins than the regular Ayni. For the rest, the production and élevage remained more or less the same. I look forward to seeing the results in a cooler year. For now, the tannins need a little bit of time in bottle. 3,000 bottles were filled in March 2019. - Luis Gutiérrez"

Pierre Olivier Sparkling Rose NV
Pierre Olivier Sparkling Rose NV is a value sparkling rosé, made with Tempranillo grapes from around the French/Spanish border (next to the Pyrenees). This is a new Kysela Project.
This wine is aromatized with a very little amount of Raspberry flavor, giving a nice mouthfeel, with an extra aromatic boost.
The bubbles are obtained using the Charmat method, named after Eugene Charmat, where the second fermentation takes places in a large, closed pressurized tank. It is different from the Methode Champanoise as the secondary fermentation doesn't take place in the bottle.
"Pale pink salmon. Just a touch off-dry, this is a very pleasant sparkler that reveals aromas of spicy red apple with a hint of cinnamon that carry through to the palate. Well made and exceedingly pleasant to drink."
- International Wine Review (Annual Rosé Report / April 2013), 89 pts
Vinsacro Rioja 2012
Vinsacro (Valsacro)( Rioja is predominately 70yr old 55% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Mazuelo, 10% Graciano and 5% Monastrell aged in American oak.
Dark cherry color. Intense and elegant sweet spices, chocolate and ripe fruit with suggestive toasty aromas that tell us about the aging in good oak. Tasty, powerful, meaty and structured and at the same time easy to drink, very round.
The slogan of our winemaker "Wine is to enjoy". Vinsacro red wine is a wine to be stored, so that positive developments are expected for at least 15 years.
"(raised for 16 months in new and used American oak barrels) Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Expressive, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark berries, incense and smoky minerals, with vanilla and licorice undertones. Sweet, spicy and focused in the mouth, offering juicy blueberry and cherry liqueur flavors that are enlivened by a peppery spice accent. Smoothly combines richness and vivacity and finishes with impressive focus, lingering sweetness and supple tannins that build slowly and add gentle grip. - Josh Raynolds"

Waterstone Chardonnay Carneros 2018
Waterstone Chardonnay Carneros is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
The grapes for this wine were grown in the Carneros region, where soils are dense, shallow, of low to moderate fertility, and high in clay content. While the soils lead to low yields, the region's maritime climate allows a longer growing season; the end result is balanced color, flavor and acidity in the harvested grapes. This Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown in the Truchard Vineyard in northeastern Carneros; this vineyard is under long-term contracts, providing consistency from vintage to vintage.
Aromas of lemon zest, white pear, sweet pastry and hazelnut lead onto a palate that is creamy with bright, fresh flavors of Meyer lemon and a touch of minerality.

It's hard to imagine the Saturn without its wide and vividly colored rings, but a new study has found that Saturn's rings didn't start to form until much later in the planet's lifetime.
Saturn's rings are made up of billions of icy particles that have been pulled into Saturn's orbit. It was long assumed that the two formed together, making Saturn's rings as old the planet itself.
However, a new study using data from the final phases of the Cassini spacecraft mission has found that rings are much younger.
The Cassini mission was launched in 1997 to study Saturn and its moons. In 2017, the mission ended in a triumphant finale as the spacecraft dove into Saturn's atmosphere and ceased contact with Earth.
It wasn't until Cassini's final mission stages that the spacecraft could collect data on the rings. The spacecraft had always orbited outside of Saturn's rings, and so it was impossible to tell the difference between the planet's mass and its rings.
That all changed when the spacecraft took six trips crossing between the planet and its rings and researchers were able to measure the gravitational field of the planet and the rings during these crossings.
In a new study, researchers from the Sapienza University of Rome analyzed data collected during Cassini's final stages to measure the gravitational field of the rings and their mass to determine the age of the rings.
The researchers found that Saturn's gravitational field is different from what was theoretically predicted and that the rings are only ten to 100 million years old.
The planet is around 4.5 billion years old, and so Saturn's iconic rings formed much later on.

With the holidays right around the corner I wanted to give you some helpful resources to get you started on decorating and planning for the family; whether that be meals or traveling.
Bad manners or exceptional manners will ALWAYS get attention while acceptable ones may go unnoticed.
Today's task is to learn an appropriate pose to take when apologizing for wrong-doing.
Today I'd like us to brainstorm ideas for how someone can alter the positions and still hold grace and etiquette at a high standard. It is possible to not follow the 'Gorean' style positions that everyone seems to favor and still look good. For the brainstorming, you will need creative time alone and a desire to work on the positions you want to incorporate but feel incapable of doing.
2 Weeks to Better Submissive Positions - Day 14: Show Off Your Positions!
Today's post is all about you! I want to see what you came up with for positions that worked best for you. Share your blog posts about the subject, pictures and video! Show us your gracefull curtsy or perhaps pictures of your kneeling and standing positions. Have you served at a dinner party? Did you write about it? Let us know!


In future I think I need to make the tassels thicker and squatter from what I can see in some historical examples. I would also like to do these with silk string and tassels instead of the cotton seen here. I do not have historical references for the combination of beading for the "aves" beads and the "gauds" (marker beads) but bone, coral, and pearls were used.
If interested you can learn more about paternosters at: Paternoster-Row or check out the blog. Sifting through the site I can tell I've got a lot to learn but it was fun putting these together.
As someone who researches them (and has learned a lot from Paternoster Row), I think they look very good.

Hipstamatic Hands Pink Slip to All but 5 of Its Core Employees
Before Instagram, there was Hipstamatic. Hipstamatic was one of the pioneers and heavyweights in the retro filter photo app space, but when Instagram came along, the price advantage (free vs. $2), ease of use, filter selection, and built-in social network allowed Instagram to turn into the new 800 lb. gorilla of mobile photo sharing.
The story is strangely similar to the history of Myspace and Facebook, and yesterday the narrative became even more identical. On the same day that Instagram rolled out version 3.0 to its 80+ million members, Hipstamatic laid off all but 5 of its core staff.
The Next Web writes that although the app is one of the most popular photo apps and a top 100 paid app (#99 at the moment), Hipstamatic's parent company Synthetic doesn't feel like it's raking in enough dough.
The layoffs are therefore meant more for rethinking the app and business model rather than for throwing up the white flag.
Unlike Instagram, the app is one with a clear-cut business model and consistent source of revenue. The download itself costs $2, and users can also drop more money on in-app purchases for things like additional "films" and "lenses".
Here's what Inc. magazine had to say about the app in a profile of its founders, published at the beginning of last month:
Today, Hipstamatic boasts over 4 million users and brought in $10 million in revenue last year. It has also become Synthetic's flagship product, and inspired the company to create a portfolio of other photo apps, including Disposable, IncrediBooth, and SwankoLab. The founders project revenue of $22 million this year.
Hipstamatic, of course, continues to be the company's backbone. The app hit the Apple store in December 2009, and within the first 36 hours, it was the most downloaded app in Japan.
4 million members for an iPhone app is quite a lot, but paltry compared to the membership figures seen at Instagram. Luckily for fans of the app, the fact that it remains profitable means you can snap away without the fear of it being shuttered anytime soon.

This page displays the katapi New Standard Bible as flowing text.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have used the name 'Yahweh'.
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

Bebek (Istanbul Bosphorus Towns)
Bebek is one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods of Istanbul. It is located on the European shores of the Bosphorus and is surrounded by other wealthy districts such as Arnavutkoy, Etiler and Rumeli Hisari. It falls within the boundaries of Besiktas district of Istanbul. The direct translation of the word "Bebek" into Turkish is "Baby".
Bebek was a popular residential district under the Ottoman rule. It's population reflected the multi-diverse society which is still visible today in Bebek's historic buildings.
Bebek is also home to Bogazici Universitesi (The Bosphorus University). A highly regarded university established in 1971, occupying the buildings and grounds of the old Robert College, which was founded in 1863 by Cyrus Hamlin, an American missionary. The College was named after Christopher Robert.
According to certain sources, Bebek's name in ancient times was Khallae. It is said that this name, meaning landing stages, comes from Skallai. According to other sources Khallae was today's Kilyos, while Bebek was known as Philemporon. The name Bebek (Baby) comes from the appointment, following the conquest of Istanbul, of Mustafa Çelebi as company commander for the area (according to legend, an exceptionally handsome young man).
In ancient times there was a temple dedicated to Artemis, Goddess of Fishermen and Hunters, in Bebek. In the 11 th century, in the time of the Byzantine Empire, the Pechenegs revolted in Damatrys and crossed the Bosphorus on horseback from the Asian to the European shore. Their crossing point was from Anadolu Hisari of Bebek.
The Hümayunabad Summer Palace, built in the 18th century by Grand Vizier Nevsehirli Damat Ibrahim Pasa for Ahmet III, was demolished by Abdülmecid. Among those who lived in Bebek were statesmen and goverment employees involved in education or religion, such as Ismail Efendi, Dürrizade Abdullah, Dividigüzel Hayrullah Aga, Yesarizade Mustafa Izzet Efendi and Tavukçu Reis Mustafa Efendi.
Bebek was once famous for its gardens of roses and acacias, its weeping willows, lacy nettle trees and the constant sound of nightingales singing. Its most important monument was the Khedive Palace, once the Ali Pasa Köskü, and later the property of Emine Hanim (known as Valide Pasa).
Following the death of Emine Hanim, mother of Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasa, the Khedive Palas was given to the state of Egypt. Today, it continues to function as the Consulate General of Egypt. Ornate lamps crown the posts of the mansion's sea-railings.
The decoration of the Bebek Mosque, designed by architect Kemaleddin Bey, was carried out by expert calligraphers Ismail Hakki Bey and Macit Bey.
Other historic buildings in Bebek include the Aghios Kharalambos Church and the French Catholic Monastery and Orphanage.
One of the most interesting Bosphorus mansions is the Reisültüttab Mustafa Efendi Yalisi (18th century), known as the Mansion of Snakes (Yilanli Yali).
Mahmut II informed Muhasib Said Efendi that he liked Mustafa Efendi's Bebek mansion. In order to protect Mustafa Efendi, Said Efendi told the Sultan that it was full of snakes. Mahmut II changed his mind about appropriating the building but from then on it has been known as the Mansion of Snakes.
After Reisülküttab Mustafa Efendi, this waterside residence belonged in succession to Nazir Mustafa Efendi, Rasid Efendi and Yahya Efendi Dergahi Postnisini (Sheikh of the Yahya Efendi Dervish Lodge) Mehmet Nuri Semseddin Efendi. It was later divided into sections between varios inheritors.
The Mansion was damaged by fire in 1964 and later partially restored. With its Harem of forty chambers, stone hall harbouring a majestic pool and an ornate fountain, Sakal-i Serif (Hair of the Prophet's Beard) Room, illuminated manuscripts and walls decorated with rare works of calligraphy, the Mansion of Snakes was once the most impressive residence situated on the rocky shore of Bebek.
One of Bebek's noteworthy buildings, the Ahmet Cevdet Pasa Mansion, later the property of Mabeynci Faik Bey, was eventually owned by Abdülhamit II's daughter Ayse Sultan. After the building was demolished, the Ayse Sultan Mansion was built on these wooded slopes.
The Mücevhercibasi (Imperial Jeweller) Jak Bey Deleon Yalisi once stood beside the Ahmet Cevdet Pasa Residence. The original owners of this mansion, one of the largest in the district, were Bitlis Governor Ethem Pasa and his wife Nafia Hanim. Abdülhamit II's Imperial Jeweller, Jak Bey Deleon, upon whom the Sultan had bestowed the title of "Bala" (the Exalted) for services rendered to the Throne, bought the mansion from Ethem Pasa. It was thenceforth referred to as the Jak Bey Deleon Mansion. Renowed for its fountains with ornate marble basins intended for nightingales to drink from, the Jak Bey Deleon Mansion burned down at the beginning of the 20th century (together with the Durrizade and the Mümtaz Pasa Mansions). Following the fire, Jak Bey Deleon and his family moved to Nice and never returned. The Assistant Director of the American College for Girls, Mebruke Hanim, lived in the mansion that was later built on the same spot.
The hillside above the Bebek-Rumeli Hisari road is today occupied by Bogaziçi University. Formerly Robert College, it was founded in 1863 on ground purchased from Ahmet Vefik Pasa upon the orders of Abdülaziz.
Its buildings were constructed using stone from the quarries on the same land; these quarries were also
the source of the stone used by Mehmet the Conqueror in the construction of Rumeli Hisari.
The Bebek Lighthouse, perched on a pyramidshaped column, has terraces around its base, where boats may be moored. It is a rare example of nautical architecture.

Choose Your Laws Carefully: Executive Authority to Unilaterally Withdraw the United States Outer Continental Shelf from Leasing Disposition
Payton A. Wells
Congress enacted the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) to both exert federal jurisdiction over the submerged lands of the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf and establish the legal framework for America's offshore energy production regime. Section 12(a) of OCSLA is a short yet potent provision that grants a president the authority to withdraw unleased offshore lands from leasing disposition, effectively banning any form of energy exploration or production. In recent decades, presidents have embraced section 12(a) not only to ban offshore energy production, but also to protect the marine environment itself. Presidents have also utilized a different federal law, the Antiquities Act of 1906 (Antiquities Act), to create marine national monuments, providing general protection for areas of rich biodiversity, scientific interest, and cultural heritage. Interestingly, both OCSLA and the Antiquities Act achieve the same end results: offshore energy production is prohibited and the marine environment is protected. The crucial distinction between the two laws, though, is the ability to provide permanent protection. A close study of these laws reveals that only one indeed provides the intended lasting protection that presidents have sought: the Antiquities Act.
This Note probes the theory of executive authority to unilaterally remove America's submerged lands from leasing disposition. Specifically, it centers on President Barack Obama's twin December 2017 offshore withdrawals in the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. President Obama utilized OCSLA to ban offshore energy production, but he framed the withdrawals as a way to permanently protect each area's unique marine biodiversity, scientific value, and cultural significance to indigenous inhabitants. This Note concludes that a president seeking such lasting protection must use the Antiquities Act in lieu of OCSLA. The Note examines the relevant statutory histories, judicial inquiries, and precedential usage of these laws and argues that OCSLA's protection falls incredibly short. This Note is particularly relevant given the Trump administration's effort to roll back the Obama administration's bans on offshore energy production. President Donald Trump's recent executive actions will surely test the conclusions of this Note.

Q: PowerShell Script Reading Xml File and Still Throwing Exceptions Currently, I had to alter an XML file from XML version 1.1 to 1.0 to be able to read the file.  Upon doing so I was able to read the XML file and pull the information I wanted off of the file.  Doing so, however, has caused the following exceptions to be thrown by PowerShell.

-- Cannot convert value "System.Object[]" to type
  "System.Xml.XmlDocument". Error: "The '<' character, hexadecimal value
  0x3C, cannot be included in a name. Line 132, position 61."
-- You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

Here is my code:
$xmlfile = [xml](gc "C:\Temp\build.xml" | ForEach-Object{$_ -replace "1.1-*", "1.0"})

$name = $xmlfile.SelectSingleNode("//name").'#text'
$result = $xmlfile.SelectSingleNode("//result").'#text'
$status = $xmlfile.SelectSingleNode("//status").'#text'
$workspace = $xmlfile.SelectSingleNode("//workspace").'#text'
$id = $workspace.Split("\")[3]

[PSCustomObject]@{
    "Name" = $name
    "Result" = $result
    "Status " = $status
    "Id" = $id
}

I have tried different ways to load the XML file to include something similar to this:
[System.Xml.XmlDocument]$file = New-Object System.Xml.XmlDocument
$file.Load($fullpath)

Update:
Xml File

I've also tried to escape the version "1\.1-\*", "1.0" but it causes the application to throw multiple exceptions and doesn't display anything.

A: $xmlfile = [xml]( ( Get-Content "C:\Temp\build.xml" ) -replace "xml\sversion='1\.1'", "xml version='1.0'" )

Explanation:

*

*Do not bother about ForEach-Object as the -replace operator will execute on each item in an array.

*Regular expression extended to "xml\sversion='1\.1'" to keep other '1.1' values unchanged (if any in an input file).

Running improved code gives the following output:

Name       Result  Status Id
----       ------  ------ --
env_webdep SUCCESS ERROR  test

BTW, (a guess only) you may be interested in using
$id = $workspace.Split("\")[-1]

or
$id = $workspace | Split-Path -Leaf

instead of
$id = $workspace.Split("\")[3]

A: I was not able to reproduce the first two errors.
As a C# developer I can tell you that the first error stems from ForEach-Object because it returns an Object[] of string objects (it doesn't know they're strings of course) and tries to convert them into an XmlDocument because of [xml] but a System.Object[] has no way to convert to an XmlDocument so an error is thrown. You need to convert the Object[] into an XmlNode[] and then into an XmlDocument object for the parsing further down. This can be accomplished using Select-Xml -Content after altering it.
$xmlfile = Select-Xml -Content (gc "C:\Temp\build.xml" | ForEach-Object{$_ -replace "1.1-*","1.0"})

This is most likely to work because of the String[] specified in -Content https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/select-xml?view=powershell-6#parameters
Edit: if the XML is malformed or corrupted then that and similar errors will be thrown

A: Here's the error I get:

Cannot convert value "System.Object[]" to type
  "System.Xml.XmlDocument". Error: "The 'value' start tag on line 28
  position 12 does not match the end tag of
  'hudson.model.StringParameterValue'. Line 29, position 11."

Missing "<" on line 28 for one thing.
Missing "<" line 62.
