As you have probably already learned in your own life, even the most loyal, dedicated friends fight sometimes. If you're close friends with someone for more than a minute, it's not uncommon to find yourselves involved in a fight about something as stupid as who gets to pick where you're eating, or something as serious as respecting personal boundaries. In fact, long-term friendships are not unlike long-term relationships when it comes to arguments and confrontations; but while partners tend to come and go, friends are usually more permanent fixtures in our lives. And according to a study conducted by the University of Copenhagen, fighting with your friends excessively can actually increase your risk of mortality by two to three times. Because of this, it's incredibly important to be aware of what happens to your body when you fight with a friend.
Of course, I'm not suggesting you avoid all confrontation with your friends, because that's unhealthy, too. However, while any lasting friendship is bound to experience a few rough patches — fighting with a friend is stressful and the effects of stress on the body are no joke.
And the stress of fighting with friends takes a toll on our bodies, so if you have a friend you're almost always at odds with, it may be time to re-evaluate that friendship. Check out these five things that happen to your body when you fight with a friend, and then try to figure out if your next spat over who called the final slice of pizza is actually worth it.
A common reaction to stress is clenching your teeth. In times of great stress, it's not unusual to clench your teeth forcefully without even realizing what you're doing, until you've been doing it for a while. So if you're in a heated fight with a friend (or your S.O. for that matter), the stress of the situation is probably going to push you to clench your teeth, and unfortunately, most of the muscles from your neck up will follow suit — potentially leading to sore muscles later.
Although this automatic reaction can literally save your life in times of danger, when it's not being used to keep us alive, the "fight or flight" response can actually be pretty bad for our bodies — because once this response has been triggered, even if you've stopped arguing, you can't stop your adrenal glands from releasing a dose of cortisol into your body. This happens because a part of your brain called the amygdala activates during an argument. This is the same part of your brain that's responsible for protecting you from predators by triggering your "fight or flight" response.
Cortisol is necessary in our bodies, of course, but too much of it can increase your blood sugar to unhealthy levels.
Again, "fight or flight" and cortisol are very much to blame here, but so is your ability to manage your anger. When you fight with a friend, you get angry, and when you get angry, your blood pressure rises. Anger causes stress hormones to course through your body; it also speeds up your heart rate and your breathing, and causes your blood vessels to tighten. And even worse, if you get angry too frequently, your body's response to that anger can damage the walls of your arteries, too. So the next time you're in an angry fight with a friend, think about what it could be doing to your body, and consider resuming your conversation after you've had a chance to chill out.
Good, supportive friendships can actually boost your immune system, and one little spat probably won't make you more susceptible to illness. However, all those stress hormones we've been talking about will eventually suppress your immune system if they're consistently being released into your body. So if you're stressed out constantly from fighting with a friend (or anything else), and both the stress and the fight lasts for weeks, then your immune system may well suffer.
If your friend-feud leads to intense anger, it's going to feel like your chest is tightening up, and it's going to hurt. If your fight gets you mad enough, your breathing will become more rapid — and if you're not careful, it could become fast enough to trigger a hyperventilation response. When this happens, take as many deep breaths as you can, because deep breathing reverses our "fight or flight" response and all the other nasty, stressful side effects that accompany fighting with a friend.
One fight with a friend won't endanger your health, of course, and a necessary fight will probably feel worth any stress that you experience. But if you get into a lot of unnecessary spats with friends about small things, consider trying to take it a little easier — if not for the sake of your friendship, then at least for the sake of your body.

How does chiropractic care help with these problems?
Upon receiving chiropractic care, many senior patients often experience an increased range of motion. When a chiropractor performs a spinal realignment, many patients can do activities they haven't been able to participate in for years. Additionally, many patients notice an increase in their balance and coordination. As a person ages, the mechanoreceptors in their spine (the part of the back that sends information to the brain about balance and coordination), can degenerate. If this area becomes even mildly impaired, balance can be off. After just a few chiropractor visits, an elderly patient can begin noticing an improvement with the mechanoreceptors by having increased balance and coordination.
How long until you see the benefits?
Seeing the benefits of chiropractic care can often vary. However, some elderly patients will feel the benefits of the chiropractic care after their first treatment. That said, the problems and health issues that the patient is going in for have likely been going on for many years. Thus, a patient should expect to see the benefits after a few treatments. The longer there has been pain, the longer it can take to heal and feel restored.
What can an elderly patient expect from their first visit?
Your initial visit with your chiropractor will be highly beneficial for you both. First, you will need to present your chiropractor with your medical history, a list of your symptoms, and potentially family history. After this, expect to undergo a physical exam. In doing so, your chiropractor can determine the specific areas in your body that need help and begin devising the best forms of treatment. Finally, you might have additional tests conducted—like x-rays or MRIs—to look deeper into the problems you have been having.
If an elderly loved one has been experiencing pain from aging, don't hesitate to get them the chiropractic care that they need. Many patients prefer to be treated naturally and without any medications for their pain, and a licensed chiropractor can ensure you get the help you need while treating you from the inside out. If you have any questions, get in touch with a chiropractor Riverdale, MD relies on today to start you on your journey of healing.
Thank you to our friends and contributors at AmeriWell Clinics for their insight into chiropractic care and how it can help elderly patients.

Remembering Willa Kim
By Stephen Hiltner
Anyone who wades into The Paris Review's files—particularly material from the early days in Paris, in the 1950s—enters a kind of historical haze. It's difficult to separate the fact from the fiction, the magazine's real history from its lore. Reliable records are hard to come by. Certain documents, contracts in particular, are nonexistent.
The first time I met Willa Kim, she rescued me from such a haze.
It was early 2012, and I was searching for the artist behind the cover of the Review's first issue, published in 1953. (It depicts a trumpeting rider astride Pegasus; the image, presumably, is based on a sculpture by Antoine Coysevox.)
"If in doubt, credit it to Billy," Peter Matthiessen told me over the phone. Matthiessen was referring to William Pène du Bois, the Review's original art editor.
But I was skeptical. Pène du Bois's artwork, which appeared elsewhere in the archive, was more textured, more expressive; it didn't quite jibe with the style of the graphic. So I dug a little deeper.
Pène du Bois died in 1993, but a quick search showed that his widow, Willa Kim, was still alive. What's more, she lived in New York, just a few miles from The Paris Review's office. I rang her up.
"It's an image William found," Willa declared, after plucking the copy in question from a complete set on her bookshelf. "He didn't draw it himself. It was found art."
No matter that nearly sixty years had passed since she'd thought of the image; the truth about its provenance was plain as day.
So it was with Willa—with whom, in the months to come, I struck up something of a friendship. I'd visit her at her apartment on Eighty-Second Street, towing along the latest copy of The Paris Review. In return, she offered up story after story of the "early days," illuminating that era of the magazine—the Review of the early fifties, when she first came to know it—with the clarity and grace of someone who'd witnessed it up close, without being swept up by its many legends.
To visit Willa in her Upper West Side apartment was to stroll through an artistic menagerie: mannequins were draped with elaborate, aging costumes; beaded necklaces dangled from fringed lampshades; magnificent floral arrangements were splayed throughout the many rooms. Every surface was teeming with art; the apartment itself was art. Drawings and paintings covered the walls, showcasing many of the artists who'd contributed early portfolios and illustrations to the Review. Her late husband, Billy, was well represented, of course—but so, too, were Jean Carzou and Rico Lebrun and, perhaps more than anyone else, Tom Keogh.
Willa was particularly fond of Tom's work—his formal paintings but also the quick offhand sketches that she referred to as his "doodles." (Some of Tom's work, and some of Willa's, was later published in an archival portfolio curated by Nicole Rudick.) "It's so sad," Willa told me once, referring to Tom. "He died much too young. He was such a gifted American artist who no one knows anything about."
Of course, there was Willa's own artwork, too: her costumes, her hats, her props, her sketches, each one a springboard for a story about her collaborations with the titans of opera, ballet, and Broadway.
A small room, off to the left as one entered, served as her studio. In it, she kept a bulging Rolodex and an array of watercolors. Her designs—some of them stuck to the wall, some of them strewn about on scraps of loose paper—sat beneath a haphazard arrangement of knickknacks: old photographs, a collection of ballet slippers, a mobile.
On more than one occasion, as I turned to leave, Willa and I lingered at a frame outside her studio that showcased a costume design she was particularly proud of: one worn by Mikhail Baryshnikov—"He was such a beautiful dancer!"—not long after he defected from the Soviet Union. Willa had draped him, provocatively, in a modified American flag.
Willa Kim died a month ago, on December 23. She was ninety-nine years old. Her obituary in the New York Times hailed her achievements as a "theatrical costume designer," highlighting her Tony Awards, her Emmy, the longevity of her artistic contributions. But to those of us at the Review who came to know her in more recent years, after she'd rejoined the fold, Willa meant something else, too: she was one of the last living participants in The Paris Review's early days, when George Plimpton and Peter Matthiessen and the rest of the gang—many of whom would later become literary legends—were awkward, boyish expats, only recently graduated, with big dreams but, as yet, little to show for them.
Willa told me once that she and Billy—both of whom were ten years older than the rest of the Review's founders and early editors—often felt like the "parents" of the group. If that was the case, then lucky for their children.
And—all these years later, still feeling her influence—lucky for us, too.

Sybase's mobile division, Sybase365, had two powerful mobile marketing tools that they recognized would be more widely-used if they were made more usable and merged into one under the Brand Mobiliser name. The first application allowed marketing managers to create and launch mobile CRM campaigns.
While the second application, the Application Builder, offered compelling functionality, but could only be used by Sybase's internal Engineers. The Application Builder creates complex interactions between various back-end systems, which ultimately allows consumers/end-users to send keywords to short codes to perform a variety of actions, such as paying for parking or checking their bank balance via SMS.
Sybase approached Busse Design to help them rearchitect both applications so that they would fit together in a logical and cohesive manner, and redesign each application so that would be easier to use. After extensive Discovery sessions with Sybase, Busse Design provided a detailed Application Map to rationalize the overall architecture of the newly merged applications, calling out specific user roles and all starting points for user workflows. We then worked with Sybase to create a new interaction model for the Application Builder so that it moved from Engineering-centric display of nesting if/then statements to a more user-friendly diagrammatic display.
After working with Sybase to provide various interaction flows and screen templates, we provided functional front-end HTML Templates to allow Sybase's developers to integrate the design with their application quickly and easily.

AOC defends Harry Styles' Vogue dress-wearing: 'It looks wonderful'

Haters be damned, says Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of Harry Styles' Vogue cover, in which the pop star wears a dress.
The "Cherry" singer, 26, recently received backlash for wearing a ballgown in his shoot for Vogue's December cover story. However, the congresswoman thinks he looks great, and that those who feel otherwise need to take a closer look at themselves.
"It looks wonderful," Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Instagram Stories, in response to a follower's question of "What do you think [about Styles] wearing a dress on the cover of Vogue."
She goes on to note that "the masculine and feminine elements are balanced beautifully — the hair and jacket styling give me James Dean vibes, too."
The 31-year-old politician — who also took some flack for wearing $14,000 outfits for her Vanity Fair December cover story — guessed that oversensitivity is likely to blame as the reason some people took issue with Styles' couture look.

"Some people are mad at it bc some folks are very sensitive to examining and exploring gender roles in society," she wrote, according to screenshots published in Harper's Bazaar. "Perhaps for some people it provokes some anger or insecurity around masculinity/femininity/etc. If it does, then maybe that's part of the point. Sit with that reaction and think about it, examine it, explore it, engage it, and grow with it."

She then waxes more abstractly about the purpose of art and content.
"What's the point of creating things if they don't make people think?" she asks. "Or feel or reflect? Especially as an artist or creative? Who wants to see the same things all the time? And never explore their assumptions? Anyway it looks bomb so," she concluded, with a shrugging emoji.
Conservative firebrand Candace Owens was among the louder voices to come out critiquing Styles' outfit, saying on Twitter that "there is no society that can survive without strong men." Despite receiving backlash for her backlash, Owens has refused to apologize or back down.

'Happiest Season' review: Star-studded cast comes 'out' fo...


Stephen Smith, James Forten, Benjamin Singleton, and Clara Brown are among African American History Month heroes whose work has impacted the field of business.
Stephen Smith is a sports television personality, radio host, journalist, and actor. He is best known for his role on ESPN First Take. Prior to his morning show hosting and guest appearances, Stephen Smith held several positions during his 16 years with the Philadelphia Inquirer (1994-2010). Smith also spent many years as a reporter with the Winston-Salem Journal, the Greensboro News and Record and the New York Daily News.
James Forten was born a free African American and joined the Continental Navy at the age of 15. He eventually became a wealthy businessman and refused to supply rigging to slave-trade vessels. Forten devoted much of his wealth to abolishing slavery and ensuring the civil rights of African Americans.
Benjamin Singleton was a businessman best known for his role in establishing African-American settlements in Kansas. Singleton organized a movement of thousands of black colonists, known as Exodusters, to find settlements in Kansas.
Last, but not least, Clara Brown saved up the money she earned from working as a cook and then her own laundry service for gold miners headed to Colorado and invested in properties and mines. She was known as "Aunt Clara" for her emotional and financial support to other freed slaves looking to build communities and find work.


I have read Paul Theroux's The Old Patagonian Express: By Train Through the Americas several times. It got me interested in visiting South and Central America in the first place; and I keep tryi9ng to relive the experience of reading it the first time. Back in the 1970s, there was still passenger rail service in Guatemala. Now there are only railroad museums with rusting locomotives. The following is the author's take on recent Guatemalan history—which is still largely true.
I had a political reverie on that train [the one between Tecun Uman and Guatemala City]. It was this: the government held elections, encouraged people to vote, and appeared to be democratic. The army appeared to be impartial, the newspapers disinterested. And it remained a peasant society, basically underfed and unfree. It must perplex any peasant to be told he is living in a free country, when the facts of life contradict this. It might be that this does not perplex him; he has every reason to believe, in accordance with the evidence, that democracy is feudal, a bureaucracy run by crooks and trigger-happy vigilantes. When one sees a government of the Guatemalan sort professing such high-mindedness in its social aims and producing such mediocre results, one cannot be surprised if the peasant concludes that communism might be an improvement. It was a Latin American sickness: inferior government gave democracy an evil name and left people with no option but to seek an alternative.

Celebrating STEM Day with FIRST Partnership
Dematic teams up with robotic competition organizer to promote science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Dematic.com / Blog Home / Celebrating STEM Day with FIRST Partnership
Real-World Stories People
November 8 is dedicated as National STEM Day in the United States. STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) activities help prepare kids to advance in these fields. As a company filled with engineers, it's no surprise that many Dematic employees are involved with STEM activities outside of the office — particularly with the nonprofit, FIRST.
FIRST teams raise funds, develop a team brand, hone teamwork skills, and build and program industrial-sized robots to compete in tournaments against like-minded competitors. Each year a new game design is revealed, and the teams start designing and building a robot for the competition.
While some students work on the robot, other students work on fundraising and design promotional materials including videos. They may also work on special projects that the team has decided to support. For example, the Dematic-supported G3 robotics team in Atlanta wanted to make tournaments more friendly to students and spectators with special needs. They organized and setup special "quiet rooms" for spectators and participants who needed a break from the loud and energetic competition environment.
A FIRST team is like a varsity sport in that it is active in-season and off-season. Team members learn new skills, host camps for FIRST LEGO teams, and work on ways to help promote STEM throughout their community.
Support at Dematic runs deep. It began in the late 1990s when Dematic was lead sponsor for a FIRST team from a Grand Rapids public school. Since 2008, Dematic in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin has sponsored teams in the Milwaukee area. Many employees, like Curtis Doane, have been involved in multiple roles. For the past 11 years Chris has mentored students within the organization and judged tournaments. Others have served as inspectors and masters of ceremony for tournaments.
"Mentoring students in high school and doing my part to teach and inspire future Dematic employees and customers in STEM has been a very rewarding. Not to mention a lot of fun," said Doane. "Even better, seeing the world through the eyes of a student who hasn't learned the word impossible yet has been personally inspiring and a constant reminder to think out of the box."
These volunteer opportunities make a difference and can be a great introduction to Dematic for students. In fact, a current employee used to be a member of a FIRST team that Dematic sponsored. Daniel Copeland, Simulation Consultant, participated on a local team for four years in high school. Through the events, he learned about Dematic, started an internship that eventually turned into a full-time job. Today, Daniel is a volunteer helping the next generation with FIRST.
"The animation experience gained through FIRST directly led to my interest in joining the simulation department," said Copeland.
Dematic support for FIRST is growing. Employees from several Dematic locations, including Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Atlanta have spent t hours supporting the nonprofit's work.
Fun, Educational with Real-World Benefits
I have been involved with FIRST for six years. The organization creates a fun, educational environment where students can learn real-world skills to become the next generation of engineers and business leaders. The Dematic partnership with FIRST is a win for the student, a win for Dematic, and a win for the Dematic employees who volunteer.
David Barr, an engineer on the Dematic AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) team, started working with FIRST back in 2005 when his son joined a local team in Holland, Michigan. He continued working with teams even after his son graduated. "If a local team called and asked for help, I'd meet with them and help the students. If an event needed technical support, I'd drive over and help," said Barr. He has recently moved to the Alabama area and is currently working to help start FIRST Lego teams for schools there.
Solutions Development engineer Matt Brechting was a member of a Grand Rapids team in high school. He is now a mentor for That ONE (Our Next Engineers) Team in the Grand Rapids area. Matt is also a member of the Dematic Community Outreach team and played a key role in organizing the new scholarship program.
And Now a Scholarship Program!
Through its Community Outreach Program, Dematic pledged $50,000 in support of FIRST in 2020 by sponsoring seven teams in Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin, sponsoring events, and the creating a scholarship program.
Through the FIRST/Dematic Scholarship Program, Dematic is sponsoring three (3) $5,000 scholarships for alumni of FIRST aiming to complete a post-secondary degree or certification. Students can follow this link to apply — applications are due November 30.
We are excited to expand our partnership with FIRST and its alumni, and we are thrilled to Power the Future of Community by investing in continued education for these students!

La 1. deild Karla (en español, Primera División Masculina) es la liga de segunda división de fútbol islandesa. La liga fue fundada en 1955 y el actual campeón es el Keflavík IF. La liga se amplió a 12 equipos en la temporada 2007 y desde el año 2008 las tres principales divisiones islandesas tienen 12 equipos.

En el año 2014, el Fram Reykjavík, un histórico del fútbol islandés, desciende por primera vez en su historia a la 1. Deild Karla, tras terminar la temporada anterior en el undécimo puesto, sin embargo, el nivel del club mostrado en la temporada no sería el esperado, con sendas derrotas históricas ante rivales de menor envergadura como la goleada 7-2 ante el UMF Grindavik y el 0-4 sufrido en el Laugardalsvöllur ante el Víkingur Ólafsvík.

La temporada 2020 ha sido suspendida desde octubre debido a la crisis sanitaria derivada de la pandemia global de COVID-19, por lo que se determinó respetar las posiciones hasta la jornada 20 como definitivas para definir a los ascendidos y descendidos para la temporada 2021.

Sistema de competición

El campeonato lo forman 12 clubes. Aunque el campeonato contó tradicionalmente con 10 equipos, se amplió el número de participantes en la temporada 2008. Los equipos juegan entre sí 2 veces durante la temporada, en casa y fuera. A final de temporada los 2 primeros logran el ascenso a la Úrvalsdeild Karla (Liga Premier) mientras que los dos últimos equipos descienden a la 2. deild karla (Tercera División), siendo sustituidos por los 2 primeros de esa categoría.

Q: std::find with type T** vs T*[N] I prefer to work with std::string but I like to figure out what is going wrong here.
I am unable to understand out why std::find isn't working properly for type T** even though pointer arithmetic works on them correctly. Like -
std::cout << *(argv+1) << "\t" <<*(argv+2) << std::endl;

But it works fine, for the types T*[N].
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

int main( int argc, const char ** argv )
{
    std::cout << *(argv+1) << "\t" <<*(argv+2) << std::endl;

    const char ** cmdPtr = std::find(argv+1, argv+argc, "Hello") ;

    const char * testAr[] = { "Hello", "World" };
    const char ** testPtr = std::find(testAr, testAr+2, "Hello");

    if( cmdPtr == argv+argc )
        std::cout << "String not found" << std::endl;

    if( testPtr != testAr+2 )
        std::cout << "String found: " << *testPtr << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Arguments passed: Hello World
Output:

Hello World
  String not found
  String found: Hello

Thanks.

A: Comparing types of char const* amounts to pointing to the addresses. The address of "Hello" is guaranteed to be different unless you compare it to another address of the string literal "Hello" (in which case the pointers may compare equal). Your compare() function compares the characters being pointed to.

A: In the first case, you're comparing the pointer values themselves and not what they're pointing to. And the constant "Hello" doesn't have the same address as the first element of argv.
Try using:
const char ** cmdPtr = std::find(argv+1, argv+argc, std::string("Hello")) ;

std::string knows to compare contents and not addresses.
For the array version, the compiler can fold all literals into a single one, so every time "Hello" is seen throughout the code it's really the same pointer. Thus, comparing for equality in
const char * testAr[] = { "Hello", "World" };
const char ** testPtr = std::find(testAr, testAr+2, "Hello");

yields the correct result

I might be higher on Grier than most, I'm pretty convinced he's gonna go at the end of round 1. I could see Grier in that Dalton, Carr, Garroppolo tier of QBs. I don't see him in the elite tier though. Dalton is brutal (I'm not a fan) but, yeah that might be a fair comp. I have him behind Lock and Haskins, I think Lock has more arm talent which makes his ceiling higher and Haskins is younger so I'd be willing to gamble on his growth and potential. Tillery - man, I'm with you on the talent. I like what I see on tape with that guy. I read on another site though that scouts question his maturity, there's questions if he can pass drug testing, and if he's a coachable player. Now, that could all be a bunch of BS spread around to drop his stock, but its out there. But the talent is there, I certainly won't argue with you on that.
Yeah that was a shocker for sure, Heyward-Bey comes to mind as well.
Not necessarily "coming out of nowhere" but if I had to pick a guy to hit the top ten, not currently getting top ten hype, my guy is Hakeem Butler. I could just see a team falling for those measurables and size.
So if I'm reading this right, we can cut him prior to next season without a cap hit? Did all this do is guarantee his money for '19?


With the rise of the new "Retina Display" monitors screen resolution is now miniscule. With is awesome for watching HD movies and browsing HD photos, but reading… is difficult.
In the past I found myself clicking CMD+ on most sites just so I could comfortably read the screen. But that's usually a bad idea of you're a fan of beautifully designed sites. Changing font size from the original tends to throw things out of whack.
Now that there is the "Reader" button I no longer have to CMD+ the sites I visit. The downside is that all reading experiences are the same. If I like the typeface a site's designer chose. Too bad.


It's not just the patient's age, weight and stress levels that decide the outcome of a heart attack. The timing may be a key factor too.
According to latest research from Europe, heart attacks are not only more common during mornings but are also most severe. The new study shows that heart attacks in the 6am to 12 noon period have the worst outcomes in comparison to cardiac episodes during other periods of the day.
"This means we may need to rethink our obsession with exercising in the mornings. Any time is just as good to exercise and maybe we should recommend evening walks,'' said cardiologist A B Mehta from Jaslok Hospital. Preventive cardiology specialist Dr Aashish Contractor said it would be prudent to not write off morning queasiness as an acidity attack. "Don't hesitate to wake up your relatives and rush to hospital at the earliest,'' he said.
Mumbai: The study by Spain's National Centre for Cardiovascular Research, which has revealed that heart attacks during morning hours are more severe, is likely to have an effect on treatment and research in cardiac care. On Thursday, Heart journal published the research that reviewed data of over 800 heart attack patients treated between 2003 and 2009.
Heart attacks result in scarring or killing of heart tissues in the area around the attack. According to the Heart paper, morning episodes are likely to be associated with 20% more tissue death. For the first time, the Madrid doctors have connected the body's Circadian rhythm–often called the body's natural pacemaker that is governed by sleepwake or light–dark cycles–and heart attacks.
The Heart study distributed patients into four groups based on the timing of their attack. "The morning group had much higher levels of an enzyme, which is a marker of dying heart tissue, in their blood than patients whose attack occurred in the evening (between 6 pm and midnight),'' noted the study.
According to Jaslok Hospital's Dr A B Mehta, most sudden cardiac deaths take place during early hours of the day. "We have heard of people going for walks or doing strenuous exercise in the morning suddenly getting a massive heart attack,'' he said, adding that people could consider exercising in the evenings. But Contractor felt the take–home message was that one should seek help at the earliest. "Patients tend to wait until the entire household has woken up or until the hospital gets into work mode at 9 am,'' he pointed out.
City doctors feel this study will result in changes in cardiac care. "While hospitals are 24x7 hubs, they work sub–optimally during early hours of the day. This contributes to morbidity associated with heart attacks. We have to change this,'' said a doctor attached to a public hospital.
But cities like Mumbai and Delhi, Dr Kumar said, had round–the–clock heart care. "Most metros have been witnessing a 30–40% increase in cases of primary angioplasty–a minimally invasive procedure performed within six hours of an attack–in the last few years. This means patients are reaching hospitals faster and are getting treatment earlier,'' he added.

Canada Geese Content from the guide to life, the universe and everything
Canada Geese
Created Nov 30, 1999 | Updated Aug 31, 2021
The Canada Goose1 is a species of large aquatic bird. They are, characteristically, chocolate brown with black heads and white cheeks. However, there are estimated to be over forty sub-species; and interbreeding with domestic geese is common. The largest, called 'Honkers', may weigh up to 8kg, and have a wingspan of 2m.
Native to marshland and river estuaries, the versatile Canada Goose is now common anywhere there is a reasonably large body of water, including urban parkland. Once reliant on sedge and reeds for nest sites, they are now completely at ease in a man-made environment and may nest anywhere they find a modicum of cover... often to the chagrin of gardeners.
In the wild, they are exclusively vegetarian, feeding mainly on aquatic plants. In the urban environment the main component of their diet is turf grass but they will eat almost anything they are offered, including bread, grain, or flower beds.
Of Geese and Men
Canada geese share the same tastes, ambitions, and sensibilities as human beings. Both exist in greater numbers than ever before. Both love park land to death.
Canada Geese are so overwhelmingly human in all but their ability to fly, bob effortlessly on the surface of water, and subsist on a diet of grass, that it is often speculated that Canada Geese are the reincarnated souls of beings who have transcended the human limit of raucous bickering.
Canada Geese mate for life. Each pair will raise one clutch of young per year. A nest may contain from four to ten eggs. Incubation, by the female, takes about 28 days. The growth rate of their young is astonishing! A baby goose may be heard 'peeping' eight or ten hours before it shows any sign of hatching. Once hatched, it is a slimy, wobbly thing only a mother goose could love, unable to support its own weight. Within a few hours the slimy mound of proto-bird will have been transformed into an adorable fluff ball, running, jumping, and peeping incessantly. Adult birds moult during the mating period and become, during this time, as Earth bound as their young for approximately five weeks.
Every autumn in North America, enormous flocks of Canada Geese may be seen heading south in advance of the approaching winter, while, on the ground far below, many of their human counterparts may be observed doing the same. Wave after wave of regular 'V'-formations fill the autumn skies. The drive to escape the bitter cold of the far north is due more to the scarcity of food than to the sub-zero temperatures. In places where food remains plentiful, such as urban areas, Geese often learn that the annual southern trek is not really necessary. They are quite content to bob about on partially frozen lakes, as long as there is plenty to eat. Stop-at-home geese are more likely to fall victim to foxes, coyotes, and wolves, though, emboldened by the scarcity of easier prey, than to the winter weather.
The Urban Goose
In many urban centres, there are so many Canada Geese that they are becoming a problem. They are naturally attracted to park land, especially that which is near a body of water. They feed almost non-stop on turf grass, which they may completely destroy, or handouts from people. Naturally, the amount of faeces they produce is directly proportional to the amount they eat. This unfortunate side effect may result in lawns and pathways unfit for human use. Canada Geese soon grow complacent about traffic. They frequently work out routes which typically involve walking back and forth across busy roads, with inevitably tragic consequences.
In addition, they are often fiercely protective of their nests or young2. A belligerent adult Canada Goose can be dangerous. As they mature, a callous-like 'knuckle' develops at the 'elbow' of the wing. This is a formidable weapon on older birds. They are quite capable of beating a grown man senseless. Particular care should be taken when small children are present, especially near water.
How to Cook your Goose
Thoroughly wash your dressed goose.
Stuff cavity with apples, prunes and onions.
Place in a deep roasting pan, preferably with a grease drain.
Cover and roast at a moderate heat (350°F, 180°C) for about three and a half hours3.
1Branta canadensis.2Individual personalities vary to a surprising degree.3It is important to remove excess grease often. There will be a lot. If it is not removed the goose will retain an unpleasant greasy taste, and you could set your oven on fire.

On March 19, 2019, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Rubius Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Natalie Holles to the Board, effective March 19, 2019. Ms. Holles will serve as a Class I director until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders or until her successor has been duly elected and qualified. Ms. Holles qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of NASDAQ. The Board has appointed Ms. Holles to serve as a member of the audit committee.
As a non-employee director, Ms. Holles will receive cash and equity compensation paid by the Company pursuant to its non-employee director compensation program. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Holles and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Holles was selected as a director, and there are no transactions between Ms. Holles and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In addition, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Holles in connection with her appointment to the Board which will be in substantially the same form as that entered into with the other directors of the Company.
On March 19, 2019, Roger Pomerantz, M.D. informed the Board that he will not stand for reelection as a director. Dr. Pomerantz's decision to not stand for reelection was not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, practices or any issues regarding financial disclosures, accounting or legal matters.


Dr. Christopher Yuan explores the concept of holy sexuality - chastity in singleness or faithfulness in marriage - in a practical and relevant manner, equipping listeners with an accessible yet robust theology of sexuality. Whether you want to share Christ with a loved one who identifies as gay or you're wrestling with questions of identity yourself, this book will help you better understand sexuality in light of God's grand story and realize that holy sexuality is actually good news for all.
Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age that he was different. He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control - and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her. Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God's desire for all families.
Greg and Lynn McDonald had never interacted with members of the LGBTQ community until they discovered their son was gay - and without resources or support, they had no idea how to handle this discovery. At first, they tried to "fix" him, to no avail. But even in the earliest days of their journey, the McDonalds clung to two absolutes: They would love God, and they would love their son.
This audiobook follows the McDonald family's journey over the next 20 years, from a place of grief to a place of gratitude and acceptance that led the McDonalds to start one of the first Christian ministries for parents of LGBTQ children. Based on their experience from counseling and coaching hundreds of struggling Christian parents, they offer tools for understanding your own emotional patterns and spiritual challenges. They also help you experience a deeper relationship with God while handling difficult or unexpected situations that are out of your control. You will discover tested principles, patterns, and spiritual lessons that can change the way we all see our families and help Christians at large think through Christlike ways to respond to the LGBTQ community.
Authored in an unvarnished, honest, reassuring, and relatable voice, this is a practical guide for parents and a road map to learning to love God, the people he created, and the church, even when they seem to be at odds.
Great book! My son is now 16 and he decided to post his coming out on FB when he was in the 8th grade! It's something I knew in my heart, however once it goes "public" it changes your life! Thank you for such an open, heartfelt, raw, honest book!!

Sport as an activity of the masses is not just a modern phenomenon, it's a phenomenon of modernism. The idea that exercise can produce a new kind of man, can act as a balance to our everyday activities, can change who we are, that's all very modernist. It is driven by the idea that it is possible to reinvent man, it is possible because of the rediscovery of the body after it had been hostage to Christianity for centuries. Unsurprisingly, all the ideology-driven movements of the 20th century promoted exercise and used sport as a recruitment tool. The Olympics, reinvented at the dawn of modernity, are only the most prominent example.
Wittgenstein was a proto-blogger. While he initially had something like a theme and a strong attempt to order his thoughts logically (whatever that actually meant), his later writings seem to have gone down the road of all blogging: a mixture of personal reflection and philosophy, in no particular order, increasingly esoteric. Not to mention the habit to comment on one's own posts, even in the absence of a proper comment function.
Propaganda (3) – Why not?
So, now suppose that we have convinced ourselves that there is a real difference between propaganda and argument along the lines outlined in propaganda (2). The question now becomes: is there any reason to refrain from using anything that would fall into the category of propaganda? For clarity, let's take a case where what you are trying to get your audience to do is not in itself evil. You don't try to get them to kill somebody, but to put up solar panels, for example.
Propaganda can certainly be effective in influencing your audience, so it does not seem imprudent to use it. If you are a Kantian, you can reject it on moral grounds, because you are presumably not sufficiently respecting a person's humanity when you are trying to manipulate them. But what about the non-Kantians? Is there a good reason not to use propaganda for them?
Can there be a difference between manipulating and reasoning? Both aim at changing the opinions or actions of the audience. Is one difference that manipulation can happen through various means, such as images and music, whereas reasoning can only happen through words, written or spoken? But can words not also be used to manipulate? So what is the difference between a manipulative speech and an argument? Don't try truth as a criterion – an argument might contain false premises, a speech may contain only truths and nevertheless be manipulative (think about the use politicians make of statistics, or the famous strict either – or distinctions that seem to leave you with no alternative but to agree with the speaker). If anything, the difference might be in the attitude taken by the speaker. Take two speakers, S1 and S2, both convinced that what they preach is right. S1 chooses to include only elements in her speech that she herself has been convinced by, S2 decides to include also elements she does not herself find convincing, but assumes to be convincing to others. The suggestion would be, then, that S1 reasons, while S2 manipulates. Will that do?

Click on the photo to see the Evening Telegraph report.
We have had our SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools) result. We are inspected on 4 aspects of school life: Our distinctiveness as a Church school, Collective worship (assembly), Religious Education and Leadership and Management. I am elated to announce that we were awarded OUTSTANDING for every area of the inspection.
We are therefore; an OUTSTANDING church school !!!
Both the inspectors commented favourable on how delightful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable our children are. In addition, they were blown away by the politeness of our children, the way they treated one another with respect and love and their behaviour.
Thank you so much to everyone including our Governors and Parent Faith committee for their commitment to school improvement.

Northern Parade Federated School is a Kings Group Academy and as a part of a Multi-Academy Trust, the Governors of the school are delegated powers by the Trust Board to oversee governance at a local level, on behalf of the main Trust Board. The Local Governing Body also exercises the same responsibility for College Park Infants School, which is also a part of the Kings Group Academies.
The Chair of Governors is Hugh Whitaker (contactable through the school office).
As Governors, we aim to work in conjunction with parents, staff and other stakeholders of both schools to exercise a local form of governance that is responsive and reflects the voice of the community we serve.
The Local Governing Body is a team of people who work closely with the Executive Headteacher to make key decisions to enable the successful running of the school and ensure that it delivers high quality education.
Governors have a number of roles. The three main ones are:
to provide strategic direction to the school.
to ensure accountability and in particular the safety of children and staff at the school.
to act as a critical friend to the Executive Headteacher.
Other roles cover: monitoring how the school budget is spent; forming policy on the school's curriculum and collective worship; setting and monitoring standards for pupils; setting the policy for admissions to the school; appointing staff and hearing appeals.
Governors come from all sections of the community, parents, business management and a host of other skills. All can offer extremely helpful expertise to the school, work as part of a team and give commitment to the school. Although the role can be very demanding it is very rewarding and is a good way to give back to your community.

Rugbytots cycle ride raises over £175,000
More than 40 men and women from Rugbytots completed the London to Paris bike ride yesterday evening, raising over £175,000 – an incredible amount for Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of rugby.
We did it! At the finish in Paris.
Riders battled unseasonably hot 40 degree temperatures and fought fatigue to ride the 178 mile route, over four days, leaving London on Friday 28 June and arriving in Paris on Monday 1 July 2019.
The money raised from the ride will enable Wooden Spoon to fund life-changing projects across the UK and Ireland that support children and young people with disabilities and facing disadvantage.
Rugbytots has been one of Wooden Spoon's biggest corporate supporters since they embarked on the charity partnership in 2014. Since then, Rugbytots have donated more than £250,000 which has funded an adventure playground at St Joseph's School (Cranleigh, Surrey), playground at Kobi Nazrul School (London), adventure trail at Mayfield School (Brixham, Devon), and a woodland walk at Calthorpe Academy (Birmingham).
Sarah Webb, CEO of Wooden Spoon said: "We are overwhelmed by the support Rugbytots has given Wooden Spoon, both as part of this monumental bike ride and their five years generous support of our charity.
"The difference Rugbytots has made in helping us deliver our mission to positively transform the lives of children and young people with a disability or facing disadvantage across the UK and Ireland, through the power of rugby, has been truly inspirational."
Max Webb, CEO of Rugbytots said: "Conditions were tough today for the Rugbytots London to Paris ride in aid of Wooden Spoon but that didn't stop our riders, digging deep, pushing on and completing both the ride and achieving their fundraising targets with their heads held high. "It is an amazing course and has been an amazing journey," he said. "Thank you to everyone who has taken part to help us change children's lives."

MAD MEN Season 3: 'The Gypsy And The Hobo' & 'The Grown Ups'
Posted by Frank Collins on Thursday, 12 November 2009 · Leave a Comment
The Gypsy And The Hobo - AMC - 25th October 2009 - 10.00pm
S P O I L E R S for non-US viewers!
Flippin' heck. This is a stunning episode. All the strands that the staff writers have been gathering are pulled together here for a massive showdown between Betty and Don. The final half of this episode is dominated by an extraordinary and brilliantly compelling two hander between Jon Hamm and January Jones. I predict a couple of awards flying their way! More of that later.
First of all, we meet an old flame of Roger's, Annabelle Mathis. She's after two things: to rekindle her wartime romance with Roger and to get Sterling Cooper to solve the consumer resistance to her brand of dog food. Not easy as buyers associate her brand with the horse meat used in its production. There's a rather amusing focus group sequence with dog owners who are horrified to discover which brand is being tested. Don pointedly says she'll have to change the brand name or go under. She's rather resistant to that and decides to take her business elsewhere. Roger turning her down the night before doesn't exactly cheer her up either.
Joan returns and it looks like Doctor Greg can't get a job to save his life. After coaching him for an interview, she returns home to find him in a morass of self pity having made a complete cock up of it. Her solution is to whack him over the head with a vase and storm out. Now, who's wearing the trousers in that house! He later returns home, contrite, and announces he's joined the army where his skills as a surgeon are wanted. There's perhaps a hint of where his plot line will go when he mentions he'll be potentially posted to Vietnam. Joan also gives Roger a call, asking him to try and find her a job. I wonder where she'll end up? Good to see that they have kept her plot line and character alive since her departure from Sterling Cooper.
Don is continuing to see Suzanne and it's getting more and more serious by the minute. They're planning trips together! Betty, meanwhile, is discussing the sale of Gene's house with her brother William and her father's lawyer, Milton. William is pissed off to discover that any attempt to buy Betty's share of the property will violate their father's will. It's going to get nasty by the looks of things.
Betty, obviously concerned about the revelations in Don's desk drawer seeks the lawyer's advice. Milton warns her that divorce could leave her without money and without her children. Even though he suggests she try and rescue the marriage, she doesn't look too convinced that she could find the strength to accomplish that.
Suzanne and Don drive up to his house just before they go on their trip. He's caught off guard by Betty and the kids who are back earlier than he expected. It's at this point that Betty demands he open his desk drawer. After refusing, she opens it herself and his entire hidden life is fully exposed. January Jones is stunning in this scene, imbuing Betty with a rare determination. And Jon Hamm shows us the vulnerability beneath Don's matter of fact and calm exterior. I was half expecting Don to twist the facts a bit and spin a whole new tale to Betty but he doesn't and everything comes out. He relates to her his birth to his prostitute mother, stealing the identity of Don Draper in the war, ensuring his widow was looked after and the suicide of his half brother Adam. It's the last part that really leaves him exposed and for the first time we see how much he regretted turning his brother away. It's a very moving scene.
A bizarre calm settles over the Draper household. Suzanne, abandoned in Don's car, finally slopes off, suitcase in hand, back to her house. Don calls her from work the next day and ends the relationship.
The final coda is spectacularly appropriate. Don and Betty take Sally and Bobby trick or treating for Halloween. They call at Francine's house and her husband is delighted to see them. "Look at this," he says to Sally and Bobby, "We've got a gypsy and a hobo", commenting on their costumes. Looking up at Don, he asks, "And who are you supposed to be?" I bet our Betty has been asking herself that question for some weeks now.
Fantastic episode which I am sure will now lead to more fireworks in the last two installments of the season.
The Grown Ups - AMC - 1st November 2009 - 10.00pm
An astonishing episode. It's certainly a watershed in both the characters we've come to love and/or hate and for the series itself in its depiction of a confident and seemingly indestructible America.
Roger's daughter is getting married and is throwing a childish tantrum about Roger's new wife Jane. His ex-wife is behaving magnificently and both parents can see the funny side of it all. Roger has a go at Jane for interfering with her expensive presents and Jane throws a tantrum and locks herself in the bathroom.
Over at Sterling Cooper Lane announces to Pete Campbell that he has effectively lost the competition between himself and Ken Cosgrove. Cosgrove will get an executive position at the firm and Pete will be working under Cosgrove. He regards it as almost being fired and pouts and sulks to his wife Trudy. Peggy is continuing her affair with Duck Phillips and agrees to meet him for a lunchtime assignation. Don throws a strop at Lane because without Sal Romano the art department has descended into chaos.
As Pete goes into Harry's office to complain to him in the background a television is showing what looks like a soap. As Pete's childish moaning continues a news announcement can be heard that John F Kennedy has been shot. Duck is watching the same news in his hotel as Peggy arrives and he unplugs the television. Some time later, after they've made love, it's clear the news report has disturbed him and he turns the set back on. What they hear turns everyone's world upside down.
For it is time to put away childish things and enter a world of great uncertainty as the beating heart of progressive 1960s America stops momentarily. The shock of that murder of the President is palpable in the episode and you get a brief sense of what it must have been like to hear that news in November 1963. The world came crashing down on an affluent and confident society. This is symbolised by the wedding of Roger's daughter. It's a disaster and yet the marriage at least provides a sense that the future will continue, that all is not lost. Even Roger can't bring himself to make a joke when late at night he seeks out Joan on the phone just to try and talk to her and make some sense of what's going on.
And it brings the Don and Betty relationship to a crisis point too. Betty is inconsolable over the death of JFK and is even more freaked out by the subsequent arrest and murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. The world literally has come to an end for her. And it shakes her to her core where perhaps for the first time she knows what she must do about the marriage. At the wedding reception Betty sees Henry Francis arrive with his daughter and as she dances with Don he reassures her that everything will be fine. "How do you know that?" replies Betty.
Later, after the shock of the Oswald killing, she goes for a drive to clear her head. She actually meets with Henry and they kiss in the back of her car. It's here she admits that the marriage to Don is over. "You don't have to answer me now, but I want to marry you," Henry announces. Back at home, she goes for the jugular, saying to Don "I want to scream at you for ruining all this." Still not quite connecting with the public mood and Betty's feelings, he just says she's upset about the assassination. "I don't love you," she snaps. "I kissed you yesterday. I didn't feel a thing." Don responds patronisingly by saying she'll feel better tomorrow. "You can't even hear me right now," she storms. "You're right," he says and he walks away.
After a sombre breakfast, Don goes into work on the declared day of mourning and finds Peggy alone in the office. Both of them are desperately trying to get away from the overwhelming emotions of the period because there's no room for them to feel anything. The episode ends with Don going into his office and pouring a drink. It's the end of the Mad Men world as we knew it.
Thanks as ever to the marvelous Mad Men official site and blog.

How can I do import data from Excel in this case?


We were after somewhere we could relax during the day but was still fairly central to explore Key West. The Chelsea House did just that. Comfortable rooms, friendly & professional staff and a good pool area were just what we wanted. Duffy's and Pinchers were good local restaurants and the Coffee shop next to Peppers was used many times! This was our second stay in your hotel collection and we had a very good time each time. Thank you.

Story - One night, mild-mannered college student, Hiroshi Mori, bumps into a woman visiting his next-door neighbor. A large, creepy woman, she has long hair, wears a coat and carries shopping bags in both hands. He had never seen her before. But then, without warning, the woman starts stalking Hiroshi, shifting her attention from his next-door neighbor whom she had been visiting to Hiroshi himself. Who is she and what is she after?
If I can describe Zashiki Onna in one word it would be suspenseful. Right from the first page this manga screams creepy. The main protagonist Hiroshi runs into a mysterious who is stalking his next door neighbor. Once she finds out that the neighbor has left she swifts her attention to him. The build up and realism of Hiroshi situation is what makes this manga scary. The fact that this can happen to anybody adds more sense of fear to the reader. The mysterious woman is truly the highlight of the manga. As you read the manga you get invested on wanting to know her backstory. Why is she after Hiroshi? Where did she come from in the first place? Mochizuki Minetaro has cleverly written a manga where you care about the characters. I found to the most interesting part is Hiroshi psychological breakdown as the stalking goes from mild to severe. Hiroshi starts off strong but as the woman mind games, and stalking his friends and family persist Hiroshi strength begins to waver. Mochizuki does a great job of showing the effects of someone in a stalking situation from both sides. Mochiziuki shows the psychological breakdown of the one doing the stalking, and the one who is being stalked. It was great to see how Hiroshi refusing to acknowledge the woman was effecting her. The more Hiroshi pushed away the more she got angry and possessive. This was truly the most scariest moment of the manga as the mysterious woman is very unpredictable. The unpredictablity of not knowing what she would do next makes this a must read.
Art - Mochizuki Minetaro has great illustration in this manga. The best highlight would be the facial expressions of the woman. She is drawn very creepy and if you seen this woman walking the streets you might not take a second look. She is a personfication of what I would call a stalker. I loved the way she looks and her face when she is angry. Overall the art is great from start to finish.
Final Grade 8.5/B+: If you're a fan of horror and like a good suspenseful story "Zashiki Onna" is the one for you. This is one creepy manga that will hit home if you've ever been in a stalking situation. Great pacing, great art and characters you care about it. Check it out.

The Willamette Valley in Oregon is known for producing some of the top wines of Pinot Noir in the United States and is now being compared to Pinot Noirs from top regions around the world. Following our podcast interview with Channing Frye and Jacob Gray of Chosen Family Wines and hearing so much about the region, the Vint team had to take a trip to see it for ourselves, meet top producers, and taste the wines that have given the valley its stellar reputation.
We began the week with a fireside chat alongside Channing and Jacob tasting their wines next to wines from Burgundy and discussing what drew them to Oregon and what makes the Willamette Valley so special. The conversation ranged from their favorite Oregon producers to climate to the openness of the Oregon winemaking scene. As a young wine region, producers have had to share learnings and work together more closely than producers in more established regions like Napa Valley. Chosen Family Wines embodies this sense of camaraderie and collaboration through their collaboration wines, which feature the name of their partners on the label right next to the Chosen Family name. Check out the chat here on YouTube.
Over the next two days, the Vint team traversed the Willamette Valley, meeting with producers and diving deep into their wines. Our stops included Beaux Frères, Granville, Lingua Franca, and Cristom. At each winery, we were able to get a sense of the passion and commitment to excellence that allows each of these producers to produce wines that compete for the title of tops in the region.
Here are some shots from those visits:

The Line Up at Lingua Franca
The Willamette Valley features an ideal climate and a myriad of soil types that combine to produce wines of unique character and quality. Ethereal yet powerful, bright yet deep, structured yet silky, the wines from the top Willamette producers each offer a unique sense of place. Pinot Noir is a grape that is readily shaped by its terroir, and in the Willamette, it is no different. We had multiple single-vineyard wines from the same producers, vinified in essentially the same way, that expressed themselves in entirely different ways. Some wines were light and nuanced, while others were powerful and structured, but there was always an underlying freshness that enhanced aromas and flavors while also refreshing the palate. This presence of consistent acid is one of the key characteristics that give the wines of Willamette Valley a more "old world" expression than similar California counterparts.
Exploring the soil types at Cristom
In addition to the famed Pinot Noir wines, we had many excellent Chardonnays and heard from many producers that a new age of Oregon Chardonnay was dawning. Initially, Chardonnay was planted simply because it is planted alongside Pinot Noir in Burgundy. In the early days, there was no strategic planning for Chardonnay plots, and many vineyards were simply planted where Pinot Noir would struggle. Over the past two decades-plus, producers have realized the potential quality of Chardonnay from the Willamette and have been strategically planting vineyards optimized for growing exceptional Chardonnay taking into account soil types, aspects, and other crucial viticultural factors. Based on the wines we tasted, the early wines are outstanding. We tasted lean mineral expressions that reminded us of Chablis as well as bigger riper expressions that were more reminiscent of ripe expressions of southern Burgundy. Needless to say, we recommend seeking out some Oregon Chardonnay and keeping tabs on these wines moving forward.
While it is common for many wine drinkers to try to identify "Burgundian notes" in the wines of the Willamette, direct comparisons to Burgundy in terms of the profile of the wines are not the best way to think about it, as each region has its own unique terroir that is impossible to replicate. That said, the comparisons between the two regions can be made because each region produces high-quality, terroir-driven wines, with a unique appreciation for the nuances offered by single-vineyard wines.
Stay tuned as Vint for more on our trip to Willamette and for possible collections inspired by the trip in the near future!
Cheers, The Vint Team
