Q: Adding custom library to Grails project I got issue with custom library that I am trying to add to my Grails project.
I have tagsoup-1.2.jar library that I put into "lib" folder under Grails project.
However when I am running my project I am getting following error:

@ line 135, column 24.
          def tagsoupParser = new org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser()
                            ^ 1 error

Now I added library to class path via "Build Path" option in Eclipse, but that didn't help.
Please can anyone tell me where to put library? and/or why I get error?
Thank you.

A: Found my answer via following link: Grails JAR file in lib directory not found
I needed to clean project via:

grails clean

Once that was done, I just run it again and everything worked perfectly.

A: Similar to above, I ran grails clean. That still didn't work. I then did refresh dependencies and that fixed. it.

The present and future roles of the dentist are discussed in relation to both treatment and treatment planning.
Very insightful commentary by Dr. Kois. Always good to hear him speak.
Responding to patients' questions and concerns.
In our practice, we strive to provide the best possible restorative and prosthetic dentistry there is. However, the question that often arises is: How many more new gadgets do we need in our office and which ones are really going to improve the quality of our care?


Simply print out the template (seen below) and assist children in decorating their very own New Years horse.
Directions; Print and cut out the template below. Glue template to domed side of paper plate and allow to dry. Glue paper towel or toilet paper roll to bottom of plate. Glue plates together to create a domed circle, allow to dry. When dry, use hole punch to put a hole on each side. Cut a 10" section of yarn through each side of the tambourine, so that the yarn is even on both ends. Tie beads onto the ends of the yarn.
To use; Spin the tambourine from side to side, the beads will beat the front/back of the plate to make a drumming sound.
Directions; Open chopsticks, and glue them to the end of the clothes pin (the part that would hold clothes). Allow to dry.
This would be a wonderful tool to use with our Toilet Paper Roll Color Match game.
Wrap toilet paper rolls with different colors of construction paper. Then label each roll with the color that is wrapped around it. Provide Pom Poms with the same colors. Then encourage children to use chopsticks to put the correct color Pom Pom into the correct color toilet paper roll.

AT THE WHEEL
AS THE GENERAL MANAGER OF LYFT'S ATLANTA OPERATIONS, SAM BOND IS RIDING HIGH
As area GM, Bond presides over all of Lyft's Atlanta operations.
Sam Bond is a rarity in Atlanta. He decided a while back to give up his car and just take Lyft wherever he goes.
When you learn that Bond is the head of the car service's operations here in Atlanta, the idea doesn't sound so far-fetched, of course, but still, for many people, it's hard to fathom not being able to just hop in your vehicle and go.
"You get your time and your sanity back," says Bond of the experience. "I haven't looked for a parking space in almost a year. I get lots of work done in the backseat. It's been liberating. Plus, it's fun to meet people and talk to the drivers."
A part of Bond's duties as general manager, in fact, is to find ways to get more people to ditch their own wheels and use Lyft's services. Another part of his job is evaluating both the driver and rider experience. He even recently spent several days behind the wheel himself, tooling clients around town on both early morning and late-night shifts. He also makes frequent visits to Lyft's local Express Drive locations, where drivers who don't want to use their own cars can rent vehicles through their partnership with Hertz.
But the majority of Bond's time is spent in the company's new "Hub," located just off Howell Mill Road. His workday starts around 8 a.m., but he's usually up before 5. A former Marine who was deployed to Iraq as a scout sniper platoon commander and assistant regimental intelligence officer, Bond says getting up at the crack of dawn is "learned behavior." As is beginning his day with a workout. "My wife got me started on Orangetheory," he admits, noting that the monitored interval training aspect appeals to his competitive nature. "We often compare notes and achievements if we do the same workout the same day."
His healthful attitude is also evidenced by the stand-up desk in his office, which is painted Lyft's signature shade of pink. Even more colorful is the large open space downstairs that serves as sort of a way station for the company's drivers. It's where they go if they have a problem with the app, a question about incentives or other issues. Bond likens it to the Apple Genius Bar.
Lyft's new Hub includes a driver service area Bond equates to Apple's Genius Bar.
Since starting with Lyft in 2016, Bond says his biggest challenge has been dealing with the company's rapid growth. But the appeal of "doing something entrepreneurial" was what sold him on the job in the first place. Prior to joining Lyft, Bond was group director of supply chain strategy for Coca-Cola, and he's kept in touch with the beverage giant in regards to Lyft's efforts to get local companies to provide employee incentives to leave their cars behind. "Coca-Cola did it as a pilot," he says, adding that Coke has "bold plans" to take single-car vehicles off the campus. Bond works to create partnerships with area businesses in other ways, as well, such as teaming up with bars and restaurants to both alleviate parking issues and offer safe rides to patrons who might have had one too many.
After a day packed with business lunches, meetings and phone calls (he has frequent Google Hangouts with the folks at headquarters in California), Bond takes a Lyft to his home in south Buckhead. After enjoying a Paleo meal from Sun Basket, he may read to his 3-year-old son or help his 6-year-old daughter with her piano lessons. In case you're wondering, there is a Volvo wagon parked in the garage that the family uses when the need arises. But Bond insists that beyond a little extra planning, relying on a car service to get you around is quite doable. "The one-car family—it's a very real option."

Travel companies are being urged to do more to prove they can be trusted with people's data if they want to build confidence among customers.
The call comes from the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)'s travel group after research revealed most consumers still don't think businesses treat their data in an honest and transparent way, despite the introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May.
Almost half (42%) of the 1,500 consumers surveyed said they had received communications from businesses not permitted to contact them in the six months since the new data rules came into force.
This is a marginal decrease in comparison to the 48% in the six months before GDPR.
Only a quarter of people (24%) believe that businesses treat people's personal data in an honest and transparent way, only slightly higher than the 18% when GDPR took effect.
Additionally, half (50%) of people surveyed believe that the introduction of GDPR has made them more likely to unsubscribe, rather than simply ignore communications from businesses or consciously not opt in at all.
CIM's travel group chairman Keith Cartwright said: "The festive period is one of the travel industry's busiest periods as consumers look ahead to the New Year and begin planning their holidays.
"But the CIM survey shows that trust in firms to use consumer data responsibly remains very low and has hardly changed since the introduction of GDPR.
"These results are a stark warning to any organisation which uses email marketing to leverage sales - a key tool in the travel sector.
"Organisations that have earned consumers' trust will engage with their customers and build brand loyalty - those who don't will get left behind."
Trust is highest among the younger generations but only 47% of respondents know their rights as a consumer in relation to data protection.
The research was carried out by One Poll between November 19 and 21 2018, across a nationally representative survey of 1,500 respondents.


The AMSSM and AMSSM Foundation, through a generous donation from the NBA, are pleased to offer a new Annual Global Humanitarian Grant to its members. A $5,000 grant will be awarded to a project that will provide sports medicine services or a sports medicine project conducted in an underserved country. The funds must be spent solely on the project, necessary supplies and in the community of the country the project is conducted. Members who apply and are awarded the grant are expected to cover their own travel expenses and the grant cannot be used to assist with travel. A minimum of two AMSSM members must be involved with the project.
Applications for the grant will be accepted starting 10/4/2018 with a final deadline of 11/15/2018 to receive the grants. A committee will review all proposals and the grant will be awarded by December 14, 2018. Project must be completed by the end of 2019.
Further questions applicants may have regarding the project can be sent to Jody Gold.
The AMSSM and AMSSM Foundation are pleased to announce the continuation of the Local Humanitarian Service Project grant program, which allows AMSSM members to apply for funding to conduct service projects in their communities.
Since it began in 2016, a total of fifteen $2,000 grants have been awarded for projects completed around the country through the generous support of AMSSM, the AMSSM Foundation and the Halpern Family Fund. We will once again offer five $2,000 grants for AMSSM members to conduct a one-day project relevant to the field of sports medicine, reaching out to underserved members of their local communities. In order to also encourage making these projects endure, previous winners are also eligible to apply for the grant funding.
Interested AMSSM members are asked to fill out a grant application to request funding for their projects. In 2018, funded projects included health screenings with health awareness education; serving athletes with disabilities; increasing concussion literacy of local community and athletes; provide pre-participation physical exam screening to adaptive athletes; and a career day opportunities in sports medicine to low income students.
Creativity and originality are encouraged by members in developing their projects, but the goal of giving back to our local communities should be at the forefront of any project to be considered. We encourage as many local AMSSM members to be involved as possible. Projects are expected to be completed in the summer of 2019.
Grant proposals are reviewed based on several criteria including originality, meeting the goals of helping underserved individuals, the inclusion of AMSSM members, how well the project reflects AMSSM goals, project feasibility, and having a complete and appropriate budget for the event.
Applications for the grant are available online now with the deadline for submission of March 15, 2019. Winners of the grants will be notified prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting in Houston, TX and a formal announcement will be made during the Annual Meeting.
What is the Impacting Lives initiative?
It is an AMSSM Foundation initiative designed to share the many ways AMSSM has enhanced members' lives, both professionally and personally. Through that impact, we hope to inspire you to consider giving back to the organization that strives to be your go-to resource for up-and-coming sports medicine research, education and programming. How has AMSSM impacted your life? Share your story! Email your story (quote) and a corresponding photo to Andy Meyer, Communications Manager.


The super-hot Auckland housing market is continuing to see rising prices, according to latest figures from government valuer Quotable Value (QV).
QV said the average price in Auckland as at September was now $662,976, up from $652,129 as at August. In the past year Auckland prices had shot up by 13.6%, which compares with an annualised increase of 13.1% in August and suggests prices are continuing to surge.
A year ago the average price in Auckland was $583,377.
Nationally, the picture looks a little quieter, with the average house price in September having climbed to $452,535 from $448,929 in August. The annualised rate of increase has actually eased slightly to 8.4% from 8.5%, which may give the Reserve Bank some solace.
The RBNZ has recently introduced "speed limits" on high loan-to-value (LVRs) lending, principally to protect financial stability, but also with intention of cooling the house market.
However, since the measure is in large part aimed at the Auckland market, any sense of comfort at the overall national figures will be tempered by the latest Auckland figures.
A lack of supply of housing in Auckland is seen as a key problem, with an estimated shortage of about 30,000 houses.
The Government and the Auckland Council have recently entered into an Auckland Housing Accord, through which it is aimed to add a further 39,000 houses in the Auckland region over the next three years.
Housing Minister Nick Smith has a stated intention of having 5000 sites available under the new fast-tracked scheme by Christmas.
Smith and the Auckland Mayor Len Brown were announcing details of some of the new sites today.
QV said its latest monthly property value index showed that nationwide residential values for September have increased 8.4% over the past year, and 2.6% over the past three months, and so are now 9.2% above the previous market peak of late 2007. When adjusted for inflation the nationwide annual increase drops a little to 7.7% and values remain below the 2007 peak by 4.9%.
The Auckland market has increased 13.6% year on year and values are 21.3% above the previous peak. When adjusted for inflation values are up 12.9% over the past year and are only 5.6% above the 2007 peak.
QV research director Jonno Ingerson said nationwide values continue to rise, driven primarily by Auckland and Canterbury where high demand and short supply are pushing prices up. Most of the rest of the main cities and provincial towns are also increasing but at a much more modest rate.
"The LVR caps just applied by the Reserve Bank are intended to help slow down the rapid increase in values by limiting loans to people with a low deposit. This will take some time to fully impact the market as the main banks had a large number of pre approved loan applications in the pipeline.
"This is likely to cause a short term flurry in activity as people rush to secure a property before their pre approval expires."
"While the LVR caps may have an impact on first home buyers with limited deposits, it is likely to have little impact on other buyers. What remains to be seen is whether the overall activity and price levels in the market are affected, particularly in areas with more affordable properties."
Values across Auckland are still increasing strongly, with Waitakere leading the way. Whilst most areas have seen a 3 to 4% increase over the past three months, Waitakere City has jumped significantly with a 5.4% rise.
North Shore Onewa and the eastern area of Auckland City remain the only other parts of the city to see increases over 5%, with Auckland City East the highest at 5.7%. The central area of old Auckland City along with Franklin and Papakura are easily the areas with the least amount of growth, none of which seeing increases higher than 2.9% over the past three months.
Overall, values across Auckland are 13.6% above last year, with Waitakere up 16.9%, North Shore 15.1% and old Auckland City 14.4%.
Values in Hamilton are still up, growing slowly throughout most of the year. Values are up 1.2% over the past three months, and 3.9% over the past year.
Tauranga remains relatively flat, with values currently 0.6% above this time last year, having seen a slight rise of 0.9% over the past three months.
Values across the Wellington area have continued their slow increase up 2.9% over the past year. Lower Hutt has seen the highest increase of the area by far, now up 5.1% over the past year. In contrast, Porirua is up 1.7%, Upper Hutt 2.4% and Wellington City 2.5%.
Over the past three months, Porirua and Wellington City Central and South have both seen slight decreases, with all other areas remaining pretty static. Lower Hutt again has seen the most growth at 2.2%.
Christchurch values are significantly above this time last year. Values are now 10.8% above last year and 2.2% up over the past three months. Apart from Banks Peninsula, which is down 6.5% over the past three months, the smallest increase is in the east, up only 0.5%. In contrast, the Southwest area still has the highest increase at 3.6%.
Dunedin is continuing to slow, with values static for the last 6 months and as a result only 1.8% above last year.
The provincial centres are still experiencing growth in the main, albeit generally no more than 2 to 3% over the past year. In the North Island, Whangerei, New Plymouth and Hastings are all up. South Wairarapa is also up 3.3%, which is in direct contrast to Masterton and Carterton which have both declined.
In the South Island, Kaikoura, Westland, Timaru and MacKenzie have all seen some strong increases over the past three months, with Westland the highest at 7.7%. Southland, Gore and Invercargill are still struggling, with Gore seeing the largest decrease at 3.3%.
The Mixed housing urban zone should be way bigger in central suburbs.
It doesn't give you any commercial uses though (it's not Mixed Use). Check the Residential zones - Activity Table for what is Permitted.
News heading and content very misleading...as the Sep house sales data is obviously not a good gauge of the impact of LVR restriction, due to many pre-approvals in the pipeline, and people rushing out to confirm a deal before 1st Oct. The litmus test of the new rule impact will be clear at least 6 months down the road. It is obviously in the interest of current property investors and agencies such as B&T to continue fanning the property heat. But the party will end - mark my words. In Singapore, when the LVR was raised from 10% to 20% in 1996, the over heated property market went into a slow spin with many private properties eventually dropping to 50-70% of their peak values. It wasn't until 2005 (9 years in the doldrum!) that the market started to pick up.

The political parties have a bipartisan agreement re immigration.
Immigration is helping to fuel rises in house prices that are preventing young people from owning their own home, the Planning Minister has warned.
Nick Boles said he has changed his mind about immigration after seeing how the arrival of 2 million new immigrants over the last decade has left Britain short of houses.


The costs of using unsafe pharmaceuticals can be life altering. These dangerous drugs can cause serious injury or even wrongful death. The federal agency tasked with making sure our drugs are safe is the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This agency is responsible for approving safe drugs and removing the dangerous ones from the market. The FDA has now announced that certain drugs used as soft tissue dermal fillers, usually for cosmetic purposes, are riskier than many initially thought. Any patient considering these products needs to fully understand the risks.
What Are Cosmetic Soft Tissue Dermal Fillers?
Soft tissue dermal fillers are injectable products that have been approved to treat wrinkles or to ënhance"a person's cheeks or lips. These products are injected directly into the area to be treated, According to the FDA they should only be injected by health care providers who have appropriate training and experience and who have an in-depth understanding of the anatomy around the treatment area.
Forbes reports that the FDA Office for Women's Health is warning both practitioners and patients that some soft tissue dermal fillers might accidentally be injected into facial blood vessels. This can cause blockages that restrict blood flow to tissue, and fillers that have been injected into the blood vessels can travel to other areas of the body. If this happens it can cause rare but serious side effects like stroke, visual impairment, blindness, and death of skin tissue.
The most at risk areas of the face include the skin between the eyebrows and nose, the skin in and around the nose, and the area under the eyes. As a result of the discovery of this problem the FDA is working with drug manufacturers to update their labeling to provide more warnings regarding the risks of these products. The FDA is not taking any steps, so far at least, to remove these products from the market.
*Before using the dermal fillers, talk with your healthcare provider about what the best injection sites are and what the risks associated with those sites may be.
*Understand that certain products have been approved by the FDA for certain areas of the face, and not others.
*Question your provider about any training and experience they have received in this area before undergoing any treatments.
*Read the warnings specific to the fillers that will be used on you and discuss those warnings with your provider.
If you experience any side effects after treatment like unusual pain, vision changes, a white appearance of the skin, or any symptoms of a stroke, seek immediate medical attention.

To cope with COVID-19 requirements, President Duterte increases tariffs on imported petroleum
Taxes on petroleum products increased by 10%
MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte, using his special powers to use government resources to immediately respond to COVID-19 requirements, "temporarily modified the rates" of import duty on crude petroleum oil and refined petroleum products under Section 1611 of Republic Act 10863 known as the "Customs Modernization and Tariff Act."
In his executive order, President Duterte imposed an additional 10-percent tax due to the "urgent need to augment the country's pandemic response budget" and prepare for both recovery and rehabilitation.
It was learned the additional tariffs are in addition to the Most Favored Nation import duties. The temporary increase in tariffs will be implemented until the effectivity of the Bayanihan to Heal as One is in effect or upon the revision of the modified rates of import tariffs to at least zero percent.
Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi, in a text message to this writer said the increase in tariffs will also lead to an increase of at least 10% in pump prices.
Meanwhile, IBON's executive director Sonny Africa said increasing tariffs on imported oil products reduces the beneficial effect of falling global oil prices.
"By ultimately making prices higher of consumers that they could be, they are an additional burden to millions of Filipino households who are already suffering the worst mass unemployment and household income losses in the country's history," Mr. Africa said in a statement sent to this writer.
He described the move as a "grossly insensitive revenue measure" and the government should have opted to tax the country's richest individuals.
He said the country's 50 richest have P4.1 trillion in wealth "which is more than what the poorest 71 million own combined.
"A wealth tax of 1% on wealth about P1 billion, another 2%above P2 billion and another 3% about P3 billion will raise P236.7 billion from these 50 richest alone," he added.
Mr. Africa explained the country's richest can afford and it "will not have any effect at all on their already extremely high standards of living." (Melo M. Acuña)

Song of the Day: "Unblu" by Jenny Lewis and Serengeti
Posted on 12/02/2020 by Parklifer	in Preview and tagged Americana, California, Jenny Lewis, Serengeti, Song of the Day.

Jenny Lewis and Chicago-based rapper Serengeti (aka David Cohn) have announced an unexpected gift just ahead of the holiday season: "Unblu" – available now via Jenny's own label Loves Way, with an accompanying video directed by Jenny.
"Unblu" was produced by Jenny and Andrew Broder.
In a note to fans, Jenny and Serengeti recall their fortuitous meeting and how their collaboration flourished despite quarantine lockdown:
Jenny met Dave down a long hallway in a former Communist Media Center in East Berlin during the People Festival of 2018. Dave asked Jenny to sing on a song about Tom Selleck passing on the part of Indiana Jones. Can you imagine a world where Tom Selleck is Indiana Jones?
A fast friendship was born as they skulked about, cracking jokes and chatting about their mutual love for boxing.
Jenny threw a show for Dave at Dino's in East Nashville when they returned from Europe. The bartenders said it was the best show they ever had. Jenny was among the 9 fans that attended and danced their asses off.
To cap the torrid evening, Dave said "J, I need 7 tracks! Just piano or guitar or whatever!" Jenny inquired if one would do?
Then the world shut down and Jenny & Dave hunkered down in Los Angeles & Chicago, respectively. Jenny smoked weed every day and Dave stayed totally sober.
The result is five songs made on Jenny's iPhone, for Dave. Beats, bass, drums, digital tanpura & topline, sent via text, ripe for Dave's poetry. To accompany the music, Jenny made videos on her phone during the witching hours, editing while under the covers.
Then Jenny texted the tracks to another People alumnus — Andrew Broder in Minneapolis — who co-produced and mixed the songs, taking them from Garageband phone music to music that gently thumps you. Music to dance around your living room in a Day-Glo bathing suit to. Music to go bananas to while watching the news & Forensic Files on mute.
Thank you for reading this.
Enjoy, Jenny Lewis & Serengeti
PS It's almost Christmas!
With the official music video for "Unblu" by Jenny Lewis and Serengeti on YouTube:
"Channeling Dolly Parton if she had been raised in Laurel Canyon, Lewis remains the master… As effortless as she manifested to begin the performance, that confidence left her audience thoroughly moved and entertained," said the Austin Chronicle after a Jenny Lewis concert in 2019.

It's crazy to think that it's been 5 years since I quit my job to work on Akumu Ink fulltime. It feels like just yesterday and at the same time it feels like forever ago. What we've accomplished in the last 5 years is still unbelievable to me. 5 years ago we were still printing ourselves in our apartment in Montreal. I remember those last few days at my fulltime job I was picking my vacation days for the upcoming year. I didn't even have enough vacation days to accommodate the 6 conventions we wanted to setup at, and that's when we realized that my job was holding me back from accomplishing more with Akumu Ink. Within 2 years we got serious and started getting our shirts printed professionally and selling to shops. Now that we're in California the brand is growing at an amazing rate, this year we expect to do a total of 20 conventions. We're so grateful to all of you, I can't say that enough.

Buchner Bündler Buildings II
Shop: La CapellSource: Buchner Bündler Buildings II 2007-2020Publisher: Park Books
Date: December 23, 2022 Category: Books
This book elucidates our creative work of the last ten years. The main focus consists of a selection of buildings that are presented in detail, accompanied by a supplementary section that we consider as an atlas. The concept refines the experiences we gathered from our first comprehensive book publication, Buchner Bründler Buildings, which was compiled to accompany the eponymous exhibition at ETH Zurich. At the time, the exhibition and the book were conceived as separate enti- ties that mutually supplemented and enriched one another. Derived from a selection of buildings, large-scale models were specially produced, primarily in concrete, generating a physical spatial presence as actual artifacts. This correspondingly led in the first monograph to a clear-cut distinction between the built and the projected, with a focus on visually conveying the built works. This second book project likewise explores the same mediatory dialogue, allowing us to not only reflect on our own works, processes, and methodologies but also leading to the question which approximations of reality, which intellectual perspectives and visual languages, could be interwoven in order to successfully do so. Following on from the first volume, the aim of Buchner Bründler Buildings II is to elaborate this intention further. In a renewed joint effort with Ludovic Balland this led to an editorial dialogue, culminating in the devising of interpretive visual compositions. The post-production processes were mainly chosen in order to provide a more in-depth representation of the characteristic features and conceptual catalysts of the respective individual architectural project. The examinations of the selected buildings from an external viewpoint expand the classic image sequences to form a dialogical principle. The depiction of architecture is tied to composi- tion and the momentum of time. The chosen methodology creates layers of association that establish a multitude of new interpretations.

Il Molino di Grace Chianti Classico Riserva 2016
Sangiovese from Chianti Classico, Chianti, Tuscany, Italy
750ML / 0% ABV
3.9 353 Ratings
Very complex and spicy nose recalling red berries, cherry jam and white pepper; abundant earthiness confirmed on the full, rich, silky and persistent palate.
Pair with grilled meat, game dishes and semi-aged cheeses.
A sheen of vanilla and toasty oak complements the lush, ripe black cherry and plum fruit in this suave Chianti Classico. Focused and well-structured, showing fine balance and a long finish that brings tobacco and orange peel hints into play. Best from 2022 through 2040.
l Molino di Grace's Riserva is a little like the middle child: when a Gran Selezione is produced at the estate, this is the second wine to be assembled and is often made in smaller quantities - and much smaller quantities than the SoloSangiovese. Yet the 2016 is simply lovely. It's bright and lifted with well-defined aromas of sweet herbs, coffee, raspberry bush and violets. It's packed with fruit but remains light on its feet. Elegantly structured and long.
This is a very pretty Chianti Classico that shows plenty of freshly picked violets, hazelnuts and blackcurrants. There's lots of fruit here, but it's all delivered in a neat, compact package, bound by firm tannins and wrapped up in bright acidity. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.
Il Molino di Grace
The winery is named after a 19th century historic windmill located on the property near the cantina. However, the viticultural history of the property is much older–the vineyards at Il Molino di Grace have been fruitful for over 350 years. When Frank Grace first purchased the property in 1995, there was no winery: all the grapes were sold to local producers. Using the site of a ruined barn, Grace, together with winery manager Gerhard Hirmer, designed and built a state of the art winery. The winery opened its doors in 1999 and today, all of our wines are estate produced and bottled using organic materials and sustainable practices in both the vineyard and cantina.
At Il Molino di Grace, we strive to produce elegant wines that are an expression of terroir through the Sangiovese grape coupled with a careful use of oak for aging the wine.
The philosophy of utilizing a sustainable approach to wine making is a critical component of our approach at Il Molino di Grace. Vineyards have existed on the property for over 350 years. There is an ancient Etruscan path that winds its way through the vineyards – and the winery itself is named after a local historic landmark, "the windmill" located on the property near the cantina. The history of the property is an essential component of the present and future of Il Molino di Grace.
Chianti Classico Wine
One of the first wine regions anywhere to be officially recognized and delimited, Chianti Classico is today what was originally defined simply as Chianti. Already identified by the early 18th century as a superior zone, the official name of Chianti was proclaimed upon the area surrounding the townships of Castellina, Radda and Gaiole, just north of Siena, by Cosimo III, Grand Duke of Tuscany in an official decree in 1716.
However, by the 1930s the Italian government had appended this historic zone with additonal land in order to capitalize on the Chianti name. It wasn't until 1996 that Chianti Classico became autonomous once again when the government granted a separate DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) to its borders. Ever since, Chianti Classico considers itself no longer a subzone of Chianti.
Many Classicos are today made of 100% Sangiovese but can include up to 20% of other approved varieties grown within the Classico borders. The best Classicos will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and be full-bodied with plenty of ripe fruit (plums, black cherry, blackberry). Also common among the best Classicos are expressive notes of cedar, dried herbs, fennel, balsamic or tobacco.
Sangiovese Wine
Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.

Extra Mustard's top 10 WWE matches of 2015
The year is almost over so Extra Mustard's Luke Winkie is sitting down to rank the top 10 WWE matches of 2015.
Luke Winkie
2015, like 2014, was a weird year for WWE. Roman Reigns struggled to get over for months on end, Daniel Bryan made a dramatic return and was immediately shelved with concussion issues, John Cena returned to the midcard, the Diva's Revolution launched, stuttered and launched again and Seth Rollins tore his ACL while at the top of his game. Right now this is a company in the midst of a generational transition. There's plenty to be excited about (Kevin Owens is a legit star!) and plenty to be disappointed by (Lesnar, Cena and Undertaker are the only three wrestlers that really matter!)
However, WWE also put on a ton of great wrestling matches over the last year, and I went ahead and highlighted 10 that stand as my personal favorites. That's honestly the most reassuring thing right? The booking can get muddled and silly, but this roster is still the best in the world.
Tyler Breeze vs. Jushin Thunder Liger - NXT Takeover: Brooklyn
If you want the ultimate proof that Triple H is treating NXT like his very own indie promotion, consider that he brought over my man Jushin Liger, who's 51 years old and still a total king, to beat one of his own guys, the permanently underrated Tyler Breeze, in eight minutes. Yes, it was far from the most substantial match on the card, but oh my god am I happy to live in an era where this company can occasionally bring in random, nerd-fantasy talent whenever they feel like it. Man WWE can sure be great when they're not on autopilot!
Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. The Usos - Fastlane
Let's take a brief moment to remember the brilliance of Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. They burned twice as bright, but for only half as long, and were legitimately putting on some of the best tag-team wrestling WWE had seen in years. Tyson's been out with a potentially life-threatening neck injury for several months, and we wish him well and hope he's back soon because man.
Go back and watch this. The Usos are some of the most underrated guys in the company and obviously Kidd and Cesaro can work well with anybody, so it's just silky smooth all the way through. There's a chance that Tyson will make his way back from injury and will immediately enter jobber status again, but I hope Vince remembers the magic they captured here.
Seth Rollins vs. John Cena - SummerSlam
This seems weird to include simply because we've seen Cena and Rollins wrestle so much over the last two years. For a while there it felt like they headlined every other Raw (remember John's broken nose?), and it's always been either good or great.
SummerSlam was great, because they got a couple extra minutes and the title was on the line. In a vacuum? Maybe this is the second or third best match of 2015. The only reason it's not is because I've seen Rollins miss that splash too many times.
Oh, also the Jon Stewart heel turn. That alone guarantees a spot on this list.

Triple H vs. Sting - WrestleMania 31
This is probably an unpopular choice.
Look, I get it. A 56-year old legend working his first (and only?) WrestleMania match against a semi-retired permaheel with a troubling reputation as a brutal, uncompromising burier should be easy to book. But somehow they let Sting lose to a guy who frankly, had nothing to gain in victory. Honestly you could say the exact same things about Triple H's matches with Brock, CM Punk, etcetera, etcetera.
I still loved this though. We're allowed one big wanking nostalgia fest every Mania, and while it didn't make any logistical sense, I still popped so hard for the nWo music, even if Scott Hall currently looks like the least threatening man in the universe. You got to watch Sting get superkicked by Shawn Michaels man. Come on, how great is that? Yes it exists completely outside of canon, yes it cuts to WWE's troubling tendency to rely on old talent, but occasionally that's totally, totally worth it.
Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan - Fastlane
[youtube:https://youtu.be/gWfXRHjgjEg]
Man remember this thing? Remember that there was a pay-per-view called Fastlane this year? This match has soured a lot of people because it served as the final, callous nail in the coffin that we weren't going to see Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar at Mania (and God, I'm pretty sure that imaginary scenario would be #1 on this list,) but these two absolutely rocked the house. Bryan countered the spear into a roll-up! That's perfect muscle-bound brute vs. scrappy indie-kid storytelling.
Seriously, you can talk all you want about people carrying Reigns, but I've seen that guy work good-to-great matches against everyone from Bryan and Bray Wyatt to the freaking Big Show.He clearly has something. Honestly I think I could watch a Reigns/Bryan package for months on end and be pretty happy.
Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks - NXT Takeover: Unstoppable
Becky Lynch has been the odd one out ever since she arrived in NXT. Plenty talented, charismatic, even a little goofy behind the scenes, but she's never been able to capture Full Sail quite as well as, say, Paige or Bayley or, of course, Sasha Banks. Honestly it was a bit surprising that she was tapped to be Sasha's first major challenger post-Charlotte, but then she showed up, tore the house down, and put the whole world on notice.
Bret Hart discusses Triple H, Survivor Series and bad booking in WWE
Is it as good as Sasha's classic with Bayley a few months later? No, nothing could have the same emotional oomph, but this is an absolute gem of submission wrestling. You're not real if you weren't muttering "wow, Becky can go" five minutes into this. And honestly? That moment after she tapped and the NXT crowd started singing her theme song back to her might be my favorite moment of the year. Let's hope she's never forgotten ever again.
Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker - Hell in a Cell
It's funny to think the most important plot development in recent WWE memory came out of a pretty boring match. Lesnar/Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 will always be remembered by the "WAIT WHAT? OH MY GOD DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?" You know, because that's what happens when you shatter the most immortal legacy in kayfabe all at once. However, the Breaking of the Streak was born from a plodding, directionless mess which has more than a little bit to do with Taker suffering a concussion early on. You had a feeling they could do something better if given the chance.
So, fast forward about a year and a half, and here's Taker and Lesnar having a total knock-down, drag-out deathmatch in Hell in a Cell, the same gimmick they made look really good back at No Mercy 2002.
It speaks to the backstage cache of both these men that they happily, and openly bled to up the ante, something I don't think anyone else on the roster could've gotten away with. I was at this live, so naturally I'm a little biased, but the ridiculous tombstone-to-the-plywood kickout into F5-to-the-plywood finish was the most mythological thing I've ever seen. A fitting end to a feud that started off on the wrong foot.
Kevin Owens vs. John Cena - Elimination Chamber
Sometimes WWE can be very, very smart.
Q&A: Kevin Owens talks NXT, his son's love of John Cena
Calling up Kevin Owens, the rotund, everyman indie-hero to confront John freakin' Cena, you know, the face of the company and public enemy number one for every kid with a blog across North America, was the perfect clash of personalities. It sparked a super interesting subtext about ideology and the makeup of a McMahon-approved superstar, and kept us all on pins and needles wondering, pleading that the man we've all watched wrestle in ratty gymnasiums could step up and pin the most unbeatable guy in the world.
And man, what a great match! Unknown properties like an NXT champion getting his main roster debut against John Cena make every single nearfall feel like the end of the world. They bust out everything; top-rope moonsaults, flying leg-drops, a fantastic package piledriver tease and eventually Owens wraps things up with a pop-up powerbomb, clean as a whistle. These days Owens is clocking time as the Intercontinental Champ and seems poised for a big push at any moment, but man, after Elimination Chamber it truly felt like anything was possible. Honestly? Moments like that are all I really want out of WWE.
Bayley vs. Sasha Banks - NXT Takeover: Brooklyn
It's been a frustrating year for women in WWE, but that's not for lack of trying. For the first time in the company's history they've cultivated a generation of talent that's gotten over on pure technical ability. Sasha Banks might actually be the best all-around character in the world right now, and it's been disappointing to see her talent get squandered in a series of well-meaning, but ultimately empty storylines on the main roster.
However, we will always have NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, where Bayley and Sasha tore the house down with easily the greatest women's wrestling match in the history of Vince's empire. It had everything you need; a journey, a devilish heel, an unwavering babyface, empathy, cruelty and some legit scary high-spots. It's the best story WWE told all year, and it stands as proof that no matter what, these women are undeniable and they will have their day in the sun.
John Cena vs. Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar - Royal Rumble
It's funny to think a year before this match Brock Lesnar was coming off a bad program with Triple H and a great, if sorta meaningless SummerSlam match with CM Punk. But then, in 2014 the destroyed the Undertaker's streak, murdered John Cena, ran off to Saskatchewan with the WWE championship, and returned-fresh as a daisy-in the beginning of 2015 with the definitive barnburner of the year. The three most important wrestlers in the company throwing haymakerafter haymaker after haymaker.
Honestly this match kinda served as a preview for everything we saw from WWE this year. It marked Cena's final moment in the main event scene, and he'd spend the next several months having great match after great match with the entire undercard. Rollins (who of course took the pinfall) would reach his final form at Mania where he'd cash in his briefcase, solidifying himself as perhaps the greatest coward champions in modern history. And Lesnar? Lesnar is the most unbeatable guy in the world. This match started with him walking around in circles, suplexing either Rollins and Cena whenever he wanted. He's a god of war who happens to be a professional wrestler, and here, in December, WWE has yet to come up with someone who can believably beat him.
WWE kinda wrote themselves in a corner with how they book these Lesnar matches. Right now they sorta feel the only thing in the company that truly matters. But man, when they pay off his dominance like this? I'm all for it. The Phoenix Splash, the table spot, that supremely underrated Rollins/Cena chemistry—I love it all. Maybe Vince will someday come up with a personality that can capably, and believably pin the Beast Incarnate, but if not? And Brock is just an unbeatable psychopath until the day his contract times out? Well, I think I'd be okay with that too.

BACK 40: Accidental discovery
Outlaw Partners
Using radioactive isotopes to study glacial thinning
By Emily Wolfe Explore Big Sky Contributor
Natalie Kehrwald thought she was making a mistake. As a Ph.D. student at Ohio State University in 2008, she had just returned from a 10-week expedition collecting ice cores from a glacier at 20,000 feet in Tibet.
To date the ice, Kehrwald was looking for layers of radioactive isotopes present in glaciers worldwide, deposited during Soviet nuclear testing between 1962 and 1963, and U.S. testing from 1952 to 1958.
"If you find those, you have an exact date and an idea of how much snow and ice has accumulated over top of that," she said.
But Kehrwald couldn't find the isotopes.
So she analyzed a parallel core, but again didn't see either radioactive peak. Alongside a colleague, she performed additional tests with the same results. Finally, they used a different test on the uppermost ice and found it dated from the 1940s, meaning any accumulation from then on had melted.
This was the first time anyone had proven glaciers thin from the top down at such high elevations in the Himalaya, and it had massive implications. The range's glaciers provide freshwater for up to two billion people, and Kehrwald says they're melting due to increased temperatures and changing precipitation patterns.
By working with Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation athletes to collect samples from ranges around the world, Kehrwald – who is now a research scientist at the University of Venice in Italy – is able to learn more about the breadth of this issue.
Q&A with Dr. Natalie Kehrwald
Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation: Tell me more about your research.
Natalie Kehrwald: [Besides glacial thinning,] I also study interactions between fires and climate. I'm looking for correlations between humans arriving in a place and increased fire activity, or if fire activity is more driven by changes in climate.
Specifically, I look at different traces of past biomass burning in ice cores. Fires can put up to half as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as fossil fuels… Even so, we don't know how they affect atmospheric heating.
ASC: Wildfires or cooking fires?
N.K.: Historically, it was mostly wildfires, but in the present day, cooking fires are a bigger part of the total. Fires [create] a huge carbon dioxide influx into the atmosphere, where the net sum equals half as much as fossil fuels.
ASC: Which era are you looking at?
N.K.: The past 10,000 years. That period is exciting, because [the Earth had] just come out of the last ice age into a climate similar to what we have now. It's also a time when humans have been really active – traveling around the world, starting agriculture, doing slash and burn techniques, and moving to locations that were previously unoccupied.
ASC: Where have you collected samples?
N.K.: Most recently I've been to the [Italian] Dolomites … I've also been to Central Greenland; the west Antarctic ice sheet; the central Himalayas in Tibet; and to the Cordillera Blanca in Peru.
ASC: How do you get equipment to a glacier at 20,000 feet, and then bring samples home?
N.K.: We drive until we can't drive anymore, and then bring it up with animals – yaks in [the] Himalayas and donkeys in South America. We build a base camp on the glacier, and do multiple hikes for tents and equipment and food, acclimatizing really slowly. We [drill] four parallel cores to bedrock, and store them in pieces in a trench of snow.
Bringing everything down is difficult. If the samples melt, or if someone stumbles and breaks one, you lose all the information. We have a freezer truck, but the freezers don't work at elevation, so we hook up oxygen tanks to the freezer component and drive as fast as we can for three days across places where there aren't always roads to get to a commercial freezer. Then we ship it on a cold bed flight back to the U.S.
ASC: How have ASC athletes helped your work?
N.K.: That type of glacial thinning is hard to see with satellites. You need to go by foot to get actual glacier samples, which is why I'm really excited about ASC. People are going to great locations and can get samples.
ASC: What is the protocol for the adventurers?
N.K.: They're filling eight to 15 Nalgene bottles, ideally going two meters below the surface by digging a pit or going down in a crevasse. The techniques are super easy.
Emily Wolfe is the marketing and outreach manager for Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, a Bozeman-based nonprofit that mobilizes outdoor enthusiasts to collect and disseminate environmental data, catalyzing conservation initiatives worldwide.
Professional snowboarder Jeremy Jones, pictured here, collected glacier samples for ASC's Snow and Ice project during the filming of the 2014 feature film "Higher," produced by Teton Gravity Research.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Event + Exclusive DIRECTOR INTERVIEW!
By NYCityGuys June 5, 2019 October 9, 2019
Leave a Comment on Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark Event + Exclusive DIRECTOR INTERVIEW!
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is a brand-new horror adventure from the minds of producer Guillermo Del Toro alongside director André Øvredal, Recently, I had the chance to attend an event for the film at The Roxy Hotel in Tribeca, where towering illustrations of the terrifying characters from the book series lined the walls of the room before entering the theater. I was completely ready to witness these characters come to life in full realization on the screen. At the event, two clips were shown, the first story being that of "The Big Toe" followed by "The Red Spot." As opposed to the movie being shot as a horror anthology, producer Del Toro instead wanted to take a handful of stories and create a through-line narrative. When presenting the unreleased clips, Del Toro explained that he made the choice of staying away from an anthology film, because, "they're always as bad as the worst story," and "never as good as the best one."
The film, while grotesque in nature, holds a ton of heart under its surface layer, a concept that Del Toro fans should be extremely familiar with. During his introduction, Del Toro described the movie as a "family horror" film, and said that they made an effort to keep it within a PG-13 rating. The film has no strong language, aside from what Del Toro described as the "fun" swear words, and not a ton of gore. Instead, it plays almost like its young-adult novel counterpart does, and leaves the majority of the horror to the terrifying creatures themselves. After watching some brand new unseen footage from the highly-anticipated film alongside both Del Toro and Øvredal, I had the chance to discuss the movie with the director.
Adam: As someone who entered into the world of Scary Stories through reading the film's script as opposed to the book series, what was something that was extremely important when it came time to learn more about the source material?
Øvredal: I mean, one thing is, the stories were already integrated in a really great way. So that was, in a way, a really easy thing to follow up on. But, the drawings had to be honored, because you can really mess that up if you don't spend time focusing on it. Having done similar exercises with Trollhunter, where the trolls were based on the way Norwegians knew trolls to look, Scary Stories was the same process. We couldn't make an error in the design of these creatures. They have to be exactly as they were in the drawings. So, whenever something would come back in the process of creating these creatures and it wasn't exactly like the book, we had to go back to the drawings.
Adam: A ton of practical effects were used in the process of making this film, and when you were on set, the creatures were actually there with you. When staring at these monsters eye-to-eye, was there one that truly scared you in its final design when you saw it walk out?
Øvredal: I have to admit, Harold is quite scary live. He's quite big and he's the one that really stood out to me while filming.
I had an amazing time checking out scenes from the film and getting to learn a ton about how the film was made from both Del Toro and Øvredal. Make sure to check out Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark when it releases on August 9th in theaters.

Q: Parameter 'event' implicitly has an 'any' type.ts(7006) I am using typescript in electron application. Typescript shows

Parameter 'event' implicitly has an 'any' type.ts(7006)

    document.getElementById('pbs_' + progressInfo.id).style.width = progressInfo.percent + "%";
    document.getElementById('pts_' + progressInfo.id).innerHTML = progressInfo.percent + "%";
});

For reference, here is the generic Electron.Event's type definition :
interface Event extends GlobalEvent {
  preventDefault: () => void;
  sender: WebContents;
  returnValue: any;
  ctrlKey?: boolean;
  metaKey?: boolean;
  shiftKey?: boolean;
  altKey?: boolean;
}


7) A walk between the treasures of La Spezia's Art Nouveau. In the period before the Second World War, which, due to the destructive bombings on the city, has irreparably changed its face, La Spezia appeared as an Art Nouveau treasure chest. There were so many urban constructions and furnishings of this artistic movement: decorations, statues, friezes and architectural elements characterized the center and the nearby areas, reaching the seaside resorts of the East. Fortunately, however, many examples of that art inspired by beauty and nature have come to our day, like the historical Palazzo Maggiani, between Viale Ferrari and Corso Cavour, the fascinating Palazzo del Ghiaccio (Ice Building) in Via Colombo and the iron street lamp beaten insect form in Piazza Verdi. Take with you camera and... spirit of observation, go looking for these treasures, and have a break for refresh yourself in one of many café, where you can have... a sweet parenthesis or an aperitif.
9) Spend a...crazy night in Versilia The best place for the "movida" (nightlife) is the Versilia: if you love fun, here's the place for you. The territory between Marina di Massa and Viareggio, a bit more extensive than the traditional boundaries of this area, also known for its seaside and cultural tourism, is a succession of venues dedicated to those seeking an evening of dance, cocktails, events and famous guests. Bussola, Beach Club, Almarosa, Twiga, the Darsena discos are just some of the places for you: there are a lot of clubs waiting for you...first, the legendary Capannina di Franceschi (https://www.lacapanninadifranceschi.it): the oldest disco in Italy founded in 1929, which during its long history hosted the best-known artists of the national and international artistic scene, as Patty Pravo, Ray Charles, Grace Jones, Gloria Gaynor, Skin. So, get stylish and the night will be all yours!
