Academic retention in Europe – It is not all about the money
By Ben Jongbloed. In its recent communication "Supporting Growth and Jobs: An agenda for the modernisation of Europe's higher education systems", the European Commission once again urged universities to reform human resources policies – to increase their autonomy around human resources issues and to introduce incentives to reward excellence in teaching and research.
Europe's universities will need to recruit academics by flexible, open and transparent procedures and to provide them with attractive career prospects. Without a committed and adequately compensated professoriate, universities will find it hard to recruit the best and brightest academics to work for them and to provide the teaching and research that Europe needs in order to be a competitive, knowledge-driven region. When comparing the attractiveness of the academic profession between European countries, salaries are naturally a key place to start.
When we compare European countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom, France, The Netherlands and Germany with the United States, and take into account international differences in purchasing power, Italy displays the widest salary range between entry-level, medium-level and top-level positions. Like the UK, it offers relatively high salaries to senior academics. The UK compares relatively well with the US, judging from the average academic salary. For entry-level positions (for example, assistant professor) the salaries are lower and higher for top-end positions.
French universities are not particularly attractive to foreign professors due to France's national career framework and non-competitive salaries. Hiring is very centralised, with a national screening of candidates by national councils. Until recently, institutional salary policies were not allowed, but this is changing. A bonus system to reward performance in teaching and research has recently been introduced, alongside laws to increase the autonomy of universities and to introduce more differentiation among academics.

Fragmented higher education needs to pull together to be competitive
By Jean-Marie Boisson. In a book published in 1968, two Belgian academics identified five different types of university models: Anglo-Saxon, German, American, French and Soviet.
Their ideas can be reduced to the following extremely short synthesis: the Anglo-Saxon model provides the individual with a way to realise him- or herself through learning; in the German model learning serves the truth; the American model sees learning as being about human progress. In the two remaining models, the French and the Soviet, learning serves the needs of existing power structures.
As a French academic, my first reaction could have been taken straight out of an Asterix cartoon: "They are crazy, the Belgians". But I do realise that our Belgian colleagues are so much better placed than we are to form a synthetic and comparative view of university systems. So after some thought and with my point of comparison defined as 1968, it became clear that this analysis is quite precise in historical terms.
There are actually not very many people, not even among academics, who know that the French Revolution suppressed traditional universities in 1793, and that Napoleon confirmed the new university system and placed it at the service of la nation with its essential mission being to provide professional training.
Universities were replaced by grandes écoles – including schools of engineering, military training, medicine, chemistry and law – all in the service of the state. Only two traditional faculties remained: faculties of letters and faculties of science. Their essential mission was to train teachers who, in turn, would train little French boys in the lycées (upper secondary) – girls were only admitted to the grandes écoles at a very late stage – and prepare them for Napoleonic schools. So the system was perfectly coherent and self-contained.
Napoleon's université impériale took the place of a national ministry of education until it was replaced by the ministry of public instruction during the republic. In this way 'university' came to stand for the higher education sector of the regional administrative units known as 'academies' (as they are still known), at the head of which the government appoints a high-level administrator with the title of recteur. The French recteur is in charge of all types of education: primary schools, secondary schools and tertiary-level education. The académie awards the title of 'university', but this does not relate to any unified structure. So, on the one hand, rectors manage the finances and personnel issues at universities while, on the other, faculties and their deans manage pedagogical issues and now also research.
Meanwhile, the schools of medicine, law and, later, pharmacy preferred to be known as faculties, as this sounded more prestigious in international terms and corresponded better to the development of research at these institutions. But the presence of several such faculties in any given city does not necessarily lead to the creation of a university. The rector remains the administrator appointed by Paris who has an overview of all areas of education, and the deans, elected by their peers, enjoy a wide measure of autonomy, although within the financial limits set by the ministry. The large majority of university personnel are civil servants.
The traditional grandes écoles, structured to meet the needs of the large corps de l'état, are essentially professional education institutions that enjoy wide autonomy and are usually linked to ministries other than the national Ministry of Education. They have increasingly included the large (and subsequently the less large) schools of commerce that are structured in much the same way, but are almost all under the auspices of chambers of commerce and not the national Ministry of Education.
French system is very different
From this it becomes clear that the French system of higher education differs in every way from the systems found in all the other countries surrounding France. Even countries that have been under strong Napoleonic influence, such as Spain or Italy, have maintained traditional universities with an elected rector, while polytechnic universities contain the equivalent of the grandes écoles for engineers or administrators.
In this historical perspective it is easier to understand the shock that occurred in France at the end of the 1960s: it was the result, on the one hand, of the demographic explosion in the number of young people who demanded enrolment in higher education and, on the other, of the implementation of a new law, which introduced new structures according to which universities could elect their own presidents. The first shock, that of student demographics, resulted in immense efforts being made by faculties of science and letters and, to a lesser extent, of law and economics, to overhaul their curricula completely in order to cope with the influx of students.
It was no longer a question of concentrating on the training of future teachers, as it had been earlier, but of diversifying courses to make them more professional and to respond to the need to prepare students for different jobs. All of this was done on a limited budget. In the light of limited funding, the constraints imposed (no changes were made around student selection and student rights) and criticism of institutions' lack of contact with civil and economic society – contact that was normally reserved for the grandes écoles) – this proved a success.
The second shock, however, came as a result of the 'Edgar Faure' law, which introduced genuine universities. It had disastrous consequences: the faculties embraced the new structures and under the fallacious but then famous pretext of 'small is beautiful', they set themselves up as universities by instituting haphazard alliances; law and medicine here, letters and law there.
In many cases they simply set up on their own. In this way, in the majority of our cities in the provinces (not to mention Paris) the faculties split into two, three, even four separate universities. It is not worth elaborating on the consequences of this state of affairs: a lack of visibility and confusion on the national as well as international level, not to mention sterile rivalries among universities in the same location and the multiplication of identical job functions, leading to a lack of efficiency and to funding problems. Unfortunately, this state of affairs is impossible to change easily.
Even with the best of wills and when people are persuaded of the argument about how inefficient these divisions are, a university president cannot lightly take the risk of attempting to merge with one or two other universities since a merger will always be seen internally as being advantageous only to the other institutions involved and will mean the president's power is diminished. Few mergers have so far been completed; the present powers of the presidents are far too strong and strategic. Now and again, a merger project is advertised. There are the 'PRES' structures, which bring universities and research institutions together in clusters, but they risk cementing divisions instead of minimising them.
University reforms
And yet this question is scarcely addressed in the swelling debate on current university reforms in France, regardless of the fact that it is one of the fundamental issues if one wants to reinstate some sort of order in the French higher education system, and to align French institutions with the great universities throughout the world.
The main objection to regrouping France's many institutions is that it would result in huge universities. This is true, but one can imagine several solutions along the lines of those practised elsewhere and there are multiple examples: the University of London, the Complutense University of Madrid and the University of California are all enormous institutions in terms of sheer numbers. But they have managed to adapt their forms of governance. In essence, these forms of governance are based on a definition of the respective strengths of their various components and a decentralisation of central power (whether rector or president) to faculties or their equivalents, which are situated on different campuses.
A rector or president should in essence be responsible for general policy, institutional planning, global inter-university relations – with the professional world and with international partners – and long-term decision-making. They should not get involved in things, such as evaluating academic competence, that are outside their remit (except within their own academic field, of course) or research issues. That should be what the deans or heads of departments do since they are responsible for the functioning of faculties or departments.
It is vital that France find the regulatory and financial means to encourage or oblige universities at major locations to merge into large, universal and decentralised institutions. The law should reserve the title of 'university' (or 'research university' as some countries abroad term it) for institutions that bring together all the major basic disciplines in education and research in large faculties or schools. This reunification may be difficult, but it is inevitable. It could also involve the grandes écoles which call themselves 'graduate schools', as they benefit from what universities do. Unfortunately, the new law has completely missed this point.
Furthermore, the new law has given greater powers to presidents in areas that should not be theirs, such as the selection of teaching staff. All this law does is to replace the present system of national centralisation, with all its flaws as well as its strengths, with an internal centralisation. This risks creating a more inefficient system, which will merely lead to a reinforcement of local competition.

Affirming Academic Values in Internationalization of Higher Education: A Call for Action
Together with the International Ad Hoc Expert Group on Re-thinking Internationalization, the IAU launches: Affirming Academic Values in Internationalization of Higher Education: A Call for Action. This Call for Action shines a light on the changing process of internationalization, its many benefits and potential adverse impacts, whilst also outlining how institutions can re-center the process of internationalization around academic fundamentals.
Comments, reactions, suggestion for how to turn the principles of the Call into actions and offers of endorsement for the Call can be sent to the IAU at: iau@iau-aiu.net with subject line stating 'the Call'.
This document acknowledges the substantial benefits of the internationalization of higher education but also draws attention to potentially adverse unintended consequences, with a view to alerting higher education institutions to the need to act to ensure that the outcomes of internationalization are positive and of reciprocal benefit to the higher education institutions and the countries concerned.
Internationalization - An evolving concept
1. The internationalization of higher education is a dynamic process, continuously shaped and reshaped by the international context in which it occurs. As this context changes, so do the purpose, goals, meanings, and strategies of internationalization. Over the past half century, the world has changed dramatically as a result of the demise of colonial hegemonies, the end of the Cold War, the rise of new economic powers, and new regional alliances.
2. Globalisation is now the most important contextual factor shaping the internationalization of higher education. Globalisation is characterized by interdependence among nations and manifested in the economic, political, social, cultural, and knowledge spheres. Central to globalization are the increased mobility of goods, services, and people and the accelerating use of information and communication technologies to bridge time and space in unprecedented ways and at continually decreasing costs.
3. Globalization gives an international dimension to all aspects of our lives, communities, and professions. In higher education, it has led to intensified mobility of ideas, students and academic staff and to expanded possibilities for collaboration and global dissemination of knowledge. It has also introduced new aims, activities and actors engaged in internationalization.
4. Institutions, countries and regions in different parts of the world and at different times pursue a variety of goals and participate in diverse ways in the higher education internationalization process. Examples, such as Africa under colonial rule, where access to higher education meant travelling abroad to attend one of the universities of the colonial power, or more recently the Bologna Process, which is radically changing the higher education landscape in Europe through internationally coordinated reforms, illustrate how internationalization fulfils different purposes and brings different rewards and challenges.
5. The goals of internationalization are continuously evolving, ranging from educating global citizens, building capacity for research, to generating income from international student tuition fees and the quest to enhance institutional prestige. New forms of internationalization such as branch campuses abroad, distance learning programs with a global reach, international educational hubs and networks now complement traditional initiatives such as student and staff mobility, curriculum change and international institutional linkages for teaching and research. New institutional players, in particular new private sector providers, have entered the scene.
6. Although the risk of brain drain remains a serious concern in some parts of the world, some countries are using international student mobility to expand their higher education capacity and capabilities. Governments and institutions are creating formal links with academic talent with their own Diasporas to promote brain circulation. And although uneven global flows of talent will remain an issue of consequence, in the long run, some of its worst impacts can be attenuated as a wider array of nations develop capacity and opportunity at home. Higher education internationalization can play a major role in developing such capacities and opportunities broadly throughout the world.
7. In short, internationalization today is remarkably different from what it was in the first half of the 20th century, in the 1960s or 1980s. A widening of drivers of higher education internationalization has had the effect of making internationalization more of an institutional imperative. The balancing of multiple intended outcomes while preserving essential institutional core values and missions is both a challenge and an opportunity. Internationalization is taking place in a radically new, complex, differentiated, and globalized context. The resulting changes in goals, activities, and actors have led to a re-examination of terminology, conceptual frameworks and previous understandings and, more importantly, to an increased but healthy questioning of internationalization's values, purposes, goals and means.
The changing nature of internationalization in the context of globalization
8. Irrespective of contextual differences within and between countries, nearly all higher education institutions worldwide are engaged in international activities and are seeking to expand them. Engaging with the world is now considered part of the very definition of quality in education and research.
9. The many enduring academic benefits of internationalization are widely recognized as fundamental. The most noteworthy include, among many others: Improved quality of teaching and learning as well as research. Deeper engagement with national, regional, and global issues and stakeholders. Better preparation of students as national and global citizens and as productive members of the workforce. Access for students to programs that are unavailable or scarce in their home countries. Enhanced opportunities for faculty improvement and, through mobility, decreased risk of academic 'inbreeding'.
Possibility to participate in international networks to conduct research on pressing issues at home and abroad and benefit from the expertise and perspectives of researchers from many parts of the world. Opportunity to situate institutional performance within the context of international good practice. Improved institutional policy-making, governance, student services, outreach, and quality assurance through sharing of experiences across national borders.
10. At the same time, the new world of higher education is characterized by competition for prestige, talent and resources on both national and global scales. National and international rankings are driving some universities to prioritize policies and practices that help them rise in the rankings. At many institutions, internationalization is now part of a strategy to enhance prestige, global competitiveness and revenue. As higher education has in some respects become a global 'industry', so has internationalization of higher education become, in some quarters, a competition in which commercial and other interests sometimes overshadow higher education's fundamental academic mission and values. Competition is in danger of displacing collaboration as the foundation for internationalization.
Possible adverse consequences of internationalization
11. As internationalization of higher education evolves and grows in importance, a number of potentially adverse consequences of the process have begun to appear. These include particular risks for some institutions, uneven benefits, and asymmetrical power relations. Frequently noted are the following concerns: The prevalence of English, though driven by the advantages of having a common medium of communication, has the potential to diminish the diversity of languages studied or used to deliver higher education. The widespread use of English may thus lead to cultural homogenization and finding solutions for these adverse impacts, even though recognized, is difficult. Global competition may diminish the diversity of institutional models of what constitutes quality higher education. The pursuit of a single model of excellence embodied in the notion of a "world-class university," usually narrowly defined as excellence in research, may result in the concentration of scarce national resources in a few or a single institution to the detriment of a diverse national system of higher education institutions, fit for diverse national purposes. This risk is potentially present everywhere, but is particularly acute for developing countries. Brain drain may continue or even accelerate, undermining the capacity of developing countries and their institutions to retain the talent needed for their prosperity, cultural advancement, and social well-being. Large-scale international student recruitment, at times using questionable and even unethical practices, may cause a variety of problems, such as brain drain. Also, the presence of large numbers of international students may result in misconceptions about decreased opportunities for domestic students or inadvertently feed prejudice about foreigners. This can overshadow the highly positive intellectual and intercultural benefits that international students bring to the classroom, campus, and communities in which they study and live.
The growth of transnational programs and creation of branch campuses raises a number of questions including how these enhance the educational capacity of host nations over the long-term, and how able they are to deliver on the promise of an education comparable to that delivered by the sponsoring institution in its home country. A foreign educational presence, with its perceived prestige, has the potential to disadvantage local higher education institutions striving to respond to national needs. Some host nations experience difficulty regulating the presence, activity and quality of foreign programs. As the pursuit of institutional reputation, stimulated by rankings, gains in importance among the goals of internationalization, the selection of international partners may be driven more by the desire to gain prestige by association than by actual interest in cooperation. Such a trend carries the risk of exclusion for many important and high quality institutions from international partnerships. The asymmetry of relations between institutions, based on access to resources for the development and implementation of internationalization strategies, can lead to the pursuit of goals that advantage the better –resourced institutions and can result in unevenly shared benefits.
In noting these adverse consequences, the inherent value of internationalization of higher education is not being called into question. On the contrary, the goal of raising awareness of these potential risks among the institutions of higher education is to ensure that action is taken to avoid them.
Affirming values underpinning internationalization: A call to higher education institutions
12. The benefits of internationalization are clear. In pursuing internationalization, however, it is incumbent on institutions of higher education everywhere to make every effort to avoid or at least mitigate its potential adverse consequences.
13. The prevailing context for higher education internationalization described in this document requires all institutions to revisit and affirm internationalization's underlying values, principles and goals, including but not limited to: intercultural learning; inter-institutional cooperation; mutual benefit; solidarity; mutual respect; and fair partnership. Internationalization also requires an active, concerted effort to ensure that institutional practices and programs successfully balance academic, financial, prestige and other goals. It requires institutions everywhere to act as responsible global citizens, committed to help shape a global system of higher education that values academic integrity, quality, equitable access, and reciprocity.
14. In designing and implementing their internationalization strategies, higher education institutions are called upon to embrace and implement the following values and principles: Commitment to promote academic freedom, institutional autonomy, and social responsibility. Pursuit of socially responsible practices locally and internationally, such as equity in access and success, and non-discrimination. Adherence to accepted standards of scientific integrity and research ethics.
Placement of academic goals such as student learning, the advancement of research, engagement with the community, and addressing global problems at the centre of their internationalization efforts. Pursuit of the internationalization of the curriculum as well as extra curricula activities so that non-mobile students, still the overwhelming majority, can also benefit from internationalization and gain the global competences they will need. Engagement in the unprecedented opportunity to create international communities of research, learning, and practice to solve pressing global problems. Affirmation of reciprocal benefit, respect, and fairness as the basis for partnership. Treatment of international students and scholars ethically and respectfully in all aspects of their relationship with the institution. Pursuit of innovative forms of collaboration that address resource differences and enhance human and institutional capacity across nations. Safeguarding and promotion of cultural and linguistic diversity and respecting local concerns and practices when working outside one's own nation. Continuous assessment of the impacts – intended and unintended, positive and negative – of internationalization activities on other institutions. Responding to new internationalization challenges through international dialogue that combines consideration of fundamental values with the search for practical solutions to facilitate interaction between higher education institutions across borders and cultures while respecting and promoting diversity.
15. These values are neither slogans nor vague abstractions. They should be applied in very concrete ways to institutional policy and practice. As institutions develop their internationalization strategies, they should be clear and transparent about why they are undertaking a particular initiative, how it relates to their academic mission and values, and what mechanisms can be put in place to avoid possible negative consequences. Open discussion, within and across institutions and associations and with governments, should keep fundamental academic goals and principles in the foreground, in the context of rapid change, complex realities, and ever-mounting pressures of competition and limited resources.
16. This Call to Higher Education Institutions is but a first step in IAU's engagement to collaborate with its Member Organizations and other international education associations and partners to provide institutional guidance and examples of good practice in internationalization. IAU will now turn to helping institutions translate these principles and values into everyday practice.

Tommy Glenn '14 races toward the finish. Glenn won and set a pool record in the 100 and 200 fly races this weekend, and his time in the 200 fly set an Ivy Championships record, immediately qualifying him for the NCAA finals. Despite Glenn's strong performance, Bruno finished in seventh.
The men's swimming and diving team finished seventh overall at the Ivy League championships this weekend at Harvard, posting the same result as last year. Harvard ultimately outmatched second-place Princeton to take home the team title.
Across three days of competition, Bruno amassed 679.5 points — good enough to top Cornell's score of 561.5. But Brown came up short of Dartmouth, which ranked sixth in the team standings with 718 points.
Just as the Bears' seventh-place team performance mirrored last season's result, so too did the showing of Tommy Glenn '14. Glenn entered the meet as two-time defending champion in both the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly races. Unfazed by the weight of expectations, the standout swimmer successfully rebuffed all rivals to claim another Ivy title in both the 100-yard and 200-yard butterfly events. Altogether, Glenn's individual performances added 72 points to the Bears' total score.
Glenn took to the pool for the 100 fly on Friday, out-sprinting Columbia's David Jakl to win by less than half a second. Glenn's time of 46.13 seconds established a new pool record and was an NCAA B Cut, meeting the provisional qualifying standard for the NCAA Championships.
The senior produced an even more eye-popping result in Saturday's 200 fly. His time of 1 minute, 42.35 seconds broke both the pool and Ivy championship records. Glenn's mark met the NCAA A-Cut qualifying standard, guaranteeing him a ticket to the NCAA finals in the 200 fly.
"It was like icing on the cake. It was a fantastic way to end my Ivy experience," Glenn said.
Glenn was not the only swimmer who made a notable individual contribution to the Bears' effort. Cory Mayfield '16 emerged as the "backbone of the distance group," Brown said, as the sophomore competed in three events on three consecutive days. All told, the sophomore completed a grueling triple that consisted of the 500-yard freestyle, 1000-yard freestyle and 1650-yard freestyle.
Mayfield's best result came in the 1000 free, as the sophomore claimed eighth place overall with a time of 9:12.5. This result was especially notable for the fact that Mayfield outperformed his seedtime by almost 22 seconds.
The Bears also met with an appreciable degree of success in the relays. The 200-yard freestyle relay squad — which consisted of Glenn, Jeffrey Strausser '15, Jack Nee '17 and Daniel Klotz '17 — claimed fourth place overall, setting a new school record of 1:19.71. Later in the meet, the 400-yard medley relay team of Glenn, Alex Pascal '15, Christopher Meyers '16 and Oliver Diamond '14 finished fifth for another school-record with a time of 3:15.19.
The Ivy League championships marked the end of the season for the majority of the team — only Glenn will go on to compete at the NCAA championships. Brown said Glenn's times rank him among "the top five or six" in the country, setting the senior up to perform well in the post-season.
As Glenn racks up the hardware, he contributed his consistent excellence to the ability to block out the distractions and expectations.
Looking forward to future seasons, Brown offered an optimistic outlook and said the loss of a star like Glenn will not spell disaster for Bruno.

"Wings_Fan_In_KC" post=377610 said:I think a gallon of water for one little MrB UME pack is way too much and they gravity won;t be right for good hops utilization. You're right, something in the neighborhood of 2 quarts should do the trick.
"Baldmitch" post=376548 said:New brewer guy here! So, what's the difference between carbing and conditioning? Either way it's 4 weeks, right? Carbing is the time it takes for a beer to properly carbonate. Conditioning is the time it takes for a beer to age appropriately to an optimal drinking state. They're technically different, but for all intents and purposes the same thing. An uncarbed beer hasn't been conditioned right, and a conditioned beer is always carbed properly. Welcome aboard!
It would probably help to know what your O.G. was before trying to hit a target F.G., but it's my experience that if you get to 1/4th of the O.G. then you've done pretty good. But if you're going solely off of the MrB product page, with a target OG of 1.063 and a FG of 1.006, that's nearly 90% attenuation, which is pretty crazy. Why would they put that on the product page if it were "crazy"? I can't explain it, but numbers relating to ABV have always been inflated.
If you want a beer with more bitterness than the 1976 offers, then you could do a hop boil. However, the recipe is formulated to use the hops at flameout. So that's your call.
"Ser Stein" post=376068 said:Both The Joy of Homebrewing and Homebrewer's Companion both strongly advise boiling HME despite MB's instruction not to do so. Here is an excerpt: Any thoughts on this? He's talking exclusively about unhopped malt extracts. Right or wrong, HMEs are often are excluded in the larger home brewing world.
New item just hit Austin Homebrew, might be relevant to this: http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_21_77_155_395&products_id=13782 Also, I believe the illegal part of making moonshine is in the distillation process and the taxes unpaid therein. Aging is more or less a moot point in the legality arena. Edit: I missed something vital in your OP, which is the link to the NB recipe. I thought you were making straight-up white dog, which obviously isn't the case. I apologize.
"losman26" post=375382 said: "alb" post=375095 said:The current issue of Zymurgy magazine has an interesting article on how different yeasts affect the expression of different hops. It gets a little technical, but worth a read just to get familiar. Also a good article on blending yeast strains. http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/zymurgy/current-issue I think it went into combining different yeasts as well, which is something I've gotta try. The article on yeast blending is more about adding 5-10% of one strain to cover the weaknesses of the main one you'd typically use. One example is adding something to the chico strain, because it has poor flocculation. The hops article that addressed the importance of yeast was so technical, there were parts I just skimmed over. You can only see phrases like "hydrolyzed glycolsides" so many times before your brain goes cross-eyed.
If you're happy with the taste right now, and if you have the space to do so, I'd store them in the fridge. The other people responding are right that aging won't hurt it, but if you're happy, why chance it?
Another believer in hop bursting. Probably the only way I'll go when brewing up a hop-forward batch.
"Wings_Fan_In_KC" post=325093 said:How about the kind that don't come in ALL CAPS????? IF YOUR BEERS DON'T COME WITH CAPS YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME. Goose Island bottles are prone to breaking because of the shorter lip. The Sam Adams spring pack is out now, the beers in there are wide-ranging and the bottles are reusable.
Walmart sells cookie sheets for $0.99 each. One of my must-use items.
I made a simple Boysenberry Wheat beer, with some of the older ingredients. I added the berries late into the fermentation, to keep more of the flavor. To date, it has been the only beer I've dumped all of. And that includes the acetobacter batches. I kept trying it every four weeks, and it never turned the corner into good. My boysenberry disaster was the first step in pushing me to avoid using fruit in my beers except for garnish.
"Wings_Fan_In_KC" post=320328 said:Ditch the booster. Drop honey to 1/4 cup or you'll be conditioning it for months. +1 to this.
I had to wait quite a while for this one to condition when I made it about a year ago. I wouldn't chill the entire batch, but maybe one bottle at a time until you're sure the beer is finished cleaning up.


Cindy Aulby has worked as a Counsellor, Healer, Breathwork Practitioner and Teacher, Inner Guide and Artist since 1997. "The guiding light of all my work is the knowing that we are all exactly who we are meant to be, that our work is to uncover the truth of who we already are, to undo and heal the damage that gets in the way of that, and to unlearn who we've been taught to be. I have been gifted with a great love of human-ness. So each time I sit with another human being in their inner work, I am privileged to be allowed access to more of what makes us tick - what gives us joy, what hurts, how we handle our pain, how we heal and how we learn to be whole. I offer my knowing about the stuff of being human, given to me by thousands of hours of being present to thousands of ordinary and extraordinary human stories. I have learned that we can open to change when we feel safe. If we feel threatened, unloved or unheard, we shut down. Our survival instinct takes over and we become defensive. So my passion is to be a loving guide. I know that, no matter what has transpired in your life, you are not wrong. Nor are you alone. I know that any thing can heal. And my job is to assist you on that journey. I am guided and deeply nourished by the natural world, particularly among the foothills of Mount Wellington. Nature is my greatest, wisest and most beloved teacher. My guidance, teaching and healing work is constantly informed by this relationship.

Anti-discrimination law a must
Gowher Rizvi tells NHRC consultation
Staff Correspondent
Tue Oct 3, 2017 12:00 AM Last update on: Tue Oct 3, 2017 03:01 AM
Enactment of anti-discrimination law is necessary to put an end to the various forms of discrimination prevailing in the society, said Prime Minister's International Affairs Adviser Dr Gowher Rizvi yesterday.
Some people are not allowed to take certain jobs and even sit at village tea stalls, he told a consultation programme arranged by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) at the capital's Bangabandhu International Conference Centre.
"It is unacceptable and we must have anti-discrimination law as soon as possible," he added.
He said a draft copy of the law is ready and is presently at the legislative and parliamentary affairs division of the law ministry.
NHRC arranged the consultation to share the draft Universal Periodic Review (UPR) report prepared by the commission with different stakeholders. A final copy of the report highlighting the country's human rights situation and recommendations is supposed to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council this month.
Gowher Rizvi said the Dalits are the most disadvantaged groups in the society.
"It is the injustice we have been perpetrated and yet we do not think about this in our daily discourse," he said.
To ensure human rights, he further said, people need to develop a human rights culture first. Along with this culture comes respect for the rule of law, he observed.
Expressing his frustration, he said it is shocking that the privileged, well-off and powerful people think they are above the law; they think they make laws and rules for others, but not for themselves.
"As long as this remains, we will not be able to develop a human rights culture."

Defence counsel for Lisa Batstone (inset) – charged with second-degree murder in the death of her daughter Teagan – began closing submissions in B.C. Supreme Court Monday. (File photo)
South Surrey mother didn't have the intent to kill her daughter: defence
Closing submissions in case of Lisa Batstone underway
Aaron Hinks
Lawyers for a South Surrey mother charged in the December 2014 smothering death of her eight-year-old daughter say their client's level of intoxication at the time may have limited Lisa Batstone's ability to gauge the consequences of killing her daughter.
And that, defence counsel submitted in B.C. Supreme Court today – along with borderline personality traits, significant levels of depression and other stressors – raises doubt as to whether Batstone had the intent to kill.
I'm at second degree murder trial closing submissions of South Surrey's Lisa Batstone. Defence saying that level of alcohol/prescription drug intoxication may have limited Batstone ability to gage consequences before she killed her daughter. Background: https://t.co/0mml2Vx4Yn

Batstone is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of her daughter Teagan, whose body was found in the trunk of a vehicle that became stuck in a cul-de-sac off of Crescent Road on Dec. 10, 2014.
Court proceedings – including a voir-dire hearing to determine if statements Batstone made prior to being advised of her right to counsel would be admissible at trial – began in early October.
Justice Catherine Murray ultimately allowed the statements, which included disturbing accounts of how Teagan died.

Over the course of the trial, the court heard from various witnesses, including the arresting officer, medical professionals who interacted with Batstone following her arrest and Teagan's father, Gabe Batstone.
Closing arguments got underway Monday morning, with defence counsel suggesting Crown has not proven intent beyond a reasonable doubt. Manslaughter, the lawyers suggested, would be a more appropriate finding.
During trial, the court heard that Batstone told hospital officials that she just wanted Teagan "to be with Jesus."
Among scenarios suggested by defence counsel on Monday was that the mother "acted in an altruistic motive in a distorted belief that she was saving, or protecting, her child" by killing her.
Noting the only question is around intent, the lawyers said "it's impossible to know… what truly was in Batstone's mind in these critical moments" before Teagan's death.
The proceedings are scheduled to continue Tuesday.
Teagan Batstone's body was found in the truck of a car on Dec. 10, 2014.

Picture Perfect Dream (Angel-at-Law 1)
Series: Earthbound Angels 2 , Part 2
By Sandra Ross
Simon Draco is an angel who becomes human when he questions their worthiness for the Father's love. He finds out that humans can raise themselves to more than their weaknesses and mistakes. He is now a lawyer who defends victims falsely accused of crimes.
Then he falls in love. Dreama Addison is so beautiful inside and out. If she will only fall for him, it will be like flying but without wings! More
WHEN THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE IS TO LIVE LIKE A HUMAN
LAW, INNOCENCE, FORGIVENESS - AND A FALLEN ANGEL
Simon Draco is a fallen angel, punished to survive in the wilderness called the human world when he, with other angels, protested too much about the worthiness of the human race for the Father's love.
Being with beings that he so belittled taught Simon to survive, and in surviving he found the grace of forgiveness – to himself. He found out that humans have the capacity to raise themselves to become more than their weaknesses and their mistakes, and in the next years to come he settled in and become a defense lawyer.
Simon soon becomes known in his brilliant defense of humans falsely accused of crimes. His special ability to discern if a person is being truthful or false helps him in this mission.
But there is another thing to being human that he is not able to avoid – falling in love. And beautiful and courageous Dreama Addison is everything he admires, both inside and out. But she only sees him as her father's partner in his law firm, and someone her older sister desires for herself. If he can only ask her on a date.
If she will only fall for him, too, it will be like getting back his wings!
If you wish to read more, download now!
It was ironic, that the beings he'd been accusing for a long time of being worthless of the Father Time's love, proved themselves to be worthy just by being themselves – reckless, ignorant, and weak. Oh, how much they had thought him about humility! Angels and humans had the capacity to believe they were "better" than certain other people. It's the attitude, and not the person, and someone with a superior attitude would always find something – even the most ridiculous reasons – to insult another and then feel superior.
Did that mean that angels were just incredibly insecure? That would have been Dreama's answer, had she known about angels. Had she known about me, he thought.
This brought the beautiful image of Dreama Addison to his mind. With her perfect light blonde, shoulder length hair and sexy aquamarine eyes, she drew him in more and more all the time. Even though he had known her for a while, he had never been able to get as close to her as he wanted because of some inescapable complications.
The first one was that she was the younger daughter of the senior partner in the Law Firm where he worked. The second was that Raven, the older and favorite daughter, had made it quite obvious as soon as she could manage that she wanted him for herself. And Raven could be very ruthless when she wanted something. Just a whiff that Simon was actually interested in Dreama could set manipulated events that would make life uncomfortable for the younger woman. That was the reason why, on social gatherings when both of them were there, he avoided being near Dreama for too long, in case Raven noticed that he was interested in being more than a friend to her younger sister.
Yes, truly. Raven could be such a pain in the ass.
Simon was still very much lost in thought, figuring out how he was going to find time being with Dreama without Raven there, when the phone on his desk buzzed.

About Sandra Ross
The moment Sandra Ross held her first romance novel when she was ten, she knew she was going to write romance. At thirty now, a prolific reader and a freelance writer, she's since then expanded her preferences from just romance to romance with a dash of now trending sub-genres—paranormal , fantasy, sci-fi even, and erotica. She loves challenging herself and would write on a dare. On a normal day, she would be found in her herb garden collecting spices for her kitchen or ingredients for her potions; in her huge eclectic Provencal kitchen with the big modern oven cooking pots and pans of food for her family of one husband and three kids (an ardent daughter and two boisterous sons) that'll probably last for weeks; in her library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and an e-reader in her hands as she reads the latest erotic hit; or scribbling pages upon pages of different erotic lifestyles, searching for the one that feels like it was inspired by just the right mix of passion, story line, and sex. Aside from these activities, the rest of the time she'd be found in front of her laptop typing the latest Sandra Ross concoction for her readers.

9 - A Chicken, White Tack and a Chimney Sweep
9 – A Chicken, White Tack and a Chimney Sweep
Raphael Ravenscroft suddenly fires up and fills the speakers of the bedside digital clock. That riff. And what a riff. That infectious sound, a creation of pure genius by the coming together of one of the greatest saxophone players of the modern age and the burgeoning talent of ex busker and Steelers Wheel front man Gerry Rafferty. Eight in the morning and time to get up. Tommy Tucker, as is his usual practice, wakes but does not turn off the alarm. He always, most definitely always, listens to the entire track. Baker Street containing the best example of passionate saxophone playing. Ever.
He bounces out of bed full of beans and into the shower. Then dressed. He wears his normal clothes which considering his natural buoyant exuberance are rather subdued. White T shirt with a motif of guess who, a young Raphael stencilled on the front. Black, white and a shade of grey. Hanging loose over a pair of everyday jeans, faded blue and part covering pale blue sneakers. The mop he calls hair so thick it is virtually impossible to prepare for display to the passing world. His very smiley face full of charm and warm appeal. Breakfast then out to the shops.
It is October and chilly so he wears his bomber jacket. His bouncy, strutting stride gliding him effortlessly over the flagstones of the pavement. The way he moves reminiscent of Tony Manero in that magnificent opening sequence to Saturday Night Fever. Tony Manero, very smart, strutting down the High Street, that little bounce in his step. So cool. Wearing a black leather bomber jacket, red shirt and red shoes. Ogling the girls. The king of the town. Then into the hardware store and reality strikes. Bomber jacket off, light browny grey store coat on and begins the spiel selling the can of paint to the little old lady.
The first thing he buys is a chicken. A fresh chicken. He is meticulous in his choice. Just the right size. The next thing he buys is a packet of white tack. Same as blue tack but white. Then a packet of half inch number ten screws. He takes his purchases home. He cuts the legs off the chicken. Neatly, with a bit of care. Then files the thread almost off four of the screws. Leaving legs behind, he wraps up the chicken and puts it in a polythene bag. The white tack and screws go into his tool box. Then off to work.
Outside he gets into his van sign written "Bobby Tucker Aerials and TV Repairers". Off to his first job of the day. A large house with a multi gabled roof. Roof slopes in all directions. In the very centre of the roof is a large tall chimney. Surrounded by roof slopes and valley gutters. Maybe ten feet high off the ridge line. He sets up his ladders and climbs up into a valley gutter running along one side of the chimney. He takes a smaller ladder up into the gully and rests it against the chimney. He can then access the whole of the chimney safely and easily. He erects a new satellite dish in a position that is unobtrusive but will still give a good signal. He climbs to the top of the chimney and inserts the chicken into the metal flue liner inside the chimney pot that serves the main room log burning stove. There is no cowl. The chicken is a loose fit but just right. He uses the wings to provide support hooking them over the edge of the liner so preventing it slipping down the flue.
He takes the cable over the roof slopes and down the outside wall to the rear window of the main sitting room. A white painted wooden window with metal catches. He drills a hole in the window frame to take the cable into the house above and behind the TV unit. This is the preferred cable route suggested by the owner. Fixes it to the satellite box. Job done he packs up and on to the next job.
The next day the owner lights the wood burner stove which of course pours smoke into the room due to the chimney being blocked. He calls the chimney sweep who arrives and sets up. Protects the room with sheeting and pushes his brush up the chimney giving it a big final shove. The chicken flies high up into the air and comes down crashing onto the roof breaking a large patch of roof tiles. Comes to rest in the valley gutter. Job done he packs up and goes back to his job list for the day.
A three weeks later there is a terrific storm. The roof leaks from the broken tiles causing massive damage to the ceiling and walls of the main bedroom. The owner calls the roof tiler who repairs the roof. He then calls the decorator who makes good all the damaged plaster and paintwork.
Four weeks later the owner and his wife get home after a night at the theatre to find they have been burgled. All of his wife's jewellery has been stolen along with about one thousand pounds in euros that were in his sock draw. The cash had just been withdrawn for a holiday to Italy that had been booked a while ago. Entry was through the rear window to the main room which had been left open. It could not be determined however how it had been opened as there was no damage from forced entry.
When Bobby fixed the cable through the window he removed the window handle and stay. He replaced them using the almost filed down screws making a strong enough fixing for general use but slightly weak. He placed white tack between the handle and stay and the frame to prevent the handle and stay wobbling. When he returned the evening of the theatre trip all he had to do was pull sharply on the window and it opened with the handle and stay falling off. As he left he replaced the handle and stay removing the white tack and fixing them with the original screws that he had retained during his first visit.
He knew exactly what to take and when to be there. The decorator had searched the main bedroom. Discovered the jewellery, tickets for Italy and the theatre tickets in the dressing table. It was an easy matter for Bobby to snatch the jewellery and then the cash. He knew where the cash would be because as any burglar will tell you men keep valuable things in their sock draws. Usually hidden in some rolled up socks. The money was likely to be there because the Italy trip was arranged for just two days later.
There are four brothers who work extensively around the villages where they live. They are well respected, reliable and will come out at the drop of a hat to help people who have an emergency. This is not cheap. They charge an emergency call out rate. Mostly this is covered by house holder insurance. Their services are very much appreciated. They are continually getting people out of trouble. Are considered heroes for the caring attention they give in times of distress. One is an aerial fitter, one a chimney sweep, one a roofer and one a decorator.
And the chicken. It takes only a few hours for carrion birds to devour the meat from a chicken carcass leaving only a few bones that appear insignificant. At the time of cleaning the chimney it was not known when it would next rain.. The chicken would have gone by the time the roof was repaired.
The evidence therefore was.very neatly destroyed.
