Port of Long Beach Completes Project Boosting Rail Capacity
Mike Schuler
The Port of Long Beach has completed construction of a new rail project which it says will increase efficiency of goods movement and reduce congestion on local roadways by shifting more cargo to trains.
The Double Track Access from Pier G to Pier J Project adds a second rail line running approximately 8,000 feet long enabling four terminals in the Port's south basin area to simultaneously handle arriving and departing trains.
The project is a key piece of the port's rail infrastructure capital improvement program aimed at shifting more cargo to rail.
"This project is an important piece of the rail improvement program that will increase efficiency and lower emissions at our Port," said Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia. "We're continuing to invest in strengthening our supply chain, prioritizing environmental sustainability and reducing impacts on the communities surrounding the Port."
"This project will streamline operations and reduce truck trips at a time we are experiencing an unprecedented growth in cargo," said Port of Long Beach Executive Director Mario Cordero. "Our investments in on-dock rail will help the Port remain globally competitive and environmentally sustainable well into the future."
"Alleviating truck traffic will enhance air quality and decrease the impact of Port operations on the surrounding community," said Sharon L. Weissman, Vice President of the Long Beach Harbor Commission. "Moving goods more efficiently and sustainably remains one of our top priorities."
Construction on the project started in February 2020. It will increase rail efficiency at Piers G and J by up to 25 percent, while also minimizing conflict with neighboring terminals' on-dock rail operations and improve overall safety in the vicinity.
The $34.7 million project was partially funded with a $14 million grant from the state's Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, with the port contributing the remaining funds.
The completion of the project comes as the Port of Long Beach continues to set cargo records amid the ongoing surge of imports. The Port of Long Beach set its latest monthly cargo record in March, handling 863,156 TEU for a 2.7% increase compared to March 2021. In the first quarter, the Port of Long Beach moved over 2.4 million TEUs setting a new record for the busiest quarter ever the port's history, breaking the previous record set during the fourth quarter of 2020 by 54,649 TEUs.
Depsite progress in recent months removing long-dwelling import containers from marine terminals, the number of long-dwelling rail containers (6+ days) has jumped to over 6,000 units currently, up from under 1,000 units in November 2021 amid congestion on railways thanks to a lack of rail equipment and labor.

Too much as changed since the last update posted here. But here's a brief summary.
The building system has had it's fair share of tweaks and fixes and is finally fully working.
A lot of detail has been added to the island of Survius, like this abandoned military base.
Where did I park my Hummer?
Two servers were added to the server list; one for the South American-region, and one for players from the Asia-region.
In previous versions, you were totally defenseless until you found your first weapons. Now you can finally use your fists and punch some zombies in the face.
Everybody was zombie fighting... ha!

Our route to Boston was varied. Corey ventured south first to meet up with an incredibly generous donor: an effective jumpstart to refueling our optimism. Seth and I stayed in New Hampshire, under the gracious hospitality of Heather McLean and Jeff Greenfield, hoping that the bus would be fixed quickly. By Wednesday, we completed the video for our first episode, and the progress of the bus was literally negative: the mechanic continued to find further damage done by the tow truck.
So, without further adieu, Seth and I took off on a little adventure. We decided that we wanted to go camping, and not betray chartreuse by traveling on another bus. So, naturally, we packed our bags and threw out a thumb. For two days we hitchhiked the New Hampshire countryside, swimming in the most beautiful waterfalls, appreciating the clearest of night skies, staring, mesmerized at the flickering campfire, and falling quickly into the rhythm of the road (slash trail). It was the perfect respite from thinking constantly about how long our bus would be delayed, and a good transition into rolling with the curveballs this trip will inevitably throw.
Friday night, a friend from Maine picked us up on her way to Boston and brought Seth and I to reunite with Corey. Here we have been posted, planning for the adventures to come. We will be completing a challenge this week (though regrettably later than anticipated), and hope to be on our way to New York by the weekend.
Despite the setbacks, we would like everyone to know that we are still confident in our process and are all sails ahead on continuing our Adventure for Good. The response to our first episode has been hugely gratifying and has exceptionally fueled our excitement to keep on bussing. There is so much more to see and do! We so appreciate your continued support.
PS. It is important to note, for many have wondered, that the majority of damages sustained to our bus will be paid for by the company that towed the bus.

Buy Rangers Tickets! | Rangers vs Red Wings coverage | Winging It In Motown
The Rangers begin a five game road trip tonight at the Joe Louis Arena against Pavel Datsyuk and the Detroit Red Wings that will eventually end in Buffalo playing against whoever the hell still plays for the Sabres. The Rangers' road record this season coming into tonight's contest is 18-10-1, and in the season series between these original six franchises, the home team has won both games that were played (the Rangers' victory was an OT victory). Will we see the Rangers win the season series tonight at the Joe in Yandle's first road game as a Blueshirt?
The Red Wings are currently third in the Atlantic Division and and fifth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 35-15-11. They have gone 5-3-2 in their last ten games but have gone up some very stiff competition lately. They are currently coming off of a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators and have added veterans Erik Cole and Marek Zidlicky to the fold. There was plenty of buzz about the Red Wings trying to land Dion Phaneuf or another big d-man on or before deadline day, but none of it panned out for the Wings. So for now Detroit is going with veteran rental players that they hope will make all the difference in their push to the playoffs and beyond. Sounds like a radical, bold new strategy for them, doesn't it?
Pavel Datsyuk- 22 G, 29 A
Henrik Zetterberg- 15 G, 34 A
Tomas Tatar- 25 G, 21 A
How about Tatar's season, huh? Tatar has brought some invaluable offense into the fold for the Wings and has been a big part of the success of their offense. If the Red Wings can stay (or get) healthy by the time the puck drops on 2015 Playoff hockey, they could be a nightmare match up for any team in the 2015 Playoffs. Even when they are shorthanded one or two top six forwards for long stretches of time Mike Babcock seems to find a way to wring every bit of effort, skill, and chemistry out of his lineup to make sure it stays the course and keeps winning games. Make no mistake, the Red Wings are a tough way to start this five game road trip for the Rangers and this game will be a big test for the Rangers, even after their resounding victory over the Preds.
The Red Wings have the best power play in the NHL right now and have the seventh ranked offense and defense in regards to the goals they score and surrender per sixty minutes. I'm not much a strategical mastermind, but something tells me that giving the Red Wings power play opportunities in abundance tonight would be a very, very bad idea. Both the Rangers and the Red Wings are among the best in the league in regards to discipline. Both clubs are in the top seven clubs in the lowest PIMs per game. This could be one of those games that gets determined by special teams, but something tells me that a big part of tonight's game will be which goalie does more to get their team two points tonight.
Bruised Wings
One of the story lines tonight for the Red Wings is the status of their captain. Henrik Zetterberg is listed as questionable for tonight's game due to suffering a recent concussion but I wouldn't be surprised if the Red Wings' captain returns tonight for his team. However, the Red Wings will be without Johan Franzen (concussion issues), Darren Helm, and Alexey Marchenko tonight. If Zetterberg is in the lineup, he'll likely be centering Erik Cole and Justin Abdelkader on the second line.
Sheppard's Debut
From Andrew Gross:
Sheppard is expected to take Glass' spot as the fourth line left wing, though he has played all three forward positions and mainly played on the third line with the Sharks.
The acquisition of Sheppard might have gotten lost in the shenanigans of the Keith Yandle blockbuster deal, but Sheppard plugging into the Rangers' fourth line may have a much bigger impact on the team than one might think. The first thing it does, if the forwards stay healthy and if the coaching staff continues to use Jesper Fast and J.T. Miller (as they should) is that Tanner Glass will be a healthy scratch with a lot more frequency. The other thing that Sheppard brings to the bottom six is a solid two-way game and a big body. There's a reason why Sather was willing to part ways with a fourth round pick to land him. Shep can be a huge boon to the depth and balance of this team moving forward.
So there you have it Rangers fans. A quick preview on tonight's original six match up against the octopi-loving Red Wings. Oh, and in case you guys haven't already checked it out, take a look at the outstanding game preview they have over at Winging it in Motown for tonight's game:

Same-Sex Marriage Bans Struck Down Nationwide: Clear Protections From Discrimination Still Needed
Today the Supreme Court has affirmed what Americans already believe; that same-sex couples deserve the right to marry and marriage equality should be the law of the land. Since the introduction of the Equality Act in 1974, only 17 states plus the District of Columbia have passed laws protecting all LGBT residents in employment, housing, and public accommodations — meaning that a majority of the states and the federal government still lack the basic protections for LGBT Americans that are afforded other populations. more »
The Decoration of Men's Fashion in Eighteenth-Century France at The Met Museum: Embroidery, Buttons, Braids, and Sequins
In the eighteenth century, promenading among the shops along the rue St. Honoré became a fashionable leisure activity for men and women alike.

The mercers' exclusive right to finishing work — arranging for the addition of embroidery, buttons, braids, and sequins through a network of specialized workers — allowed their customers to choose the exact colors and patterns they wanted at the point of sale. more »

Can Bonnaroo 2020 Be Everything to Everyone?
2019's Festival of the Year makes history and turns heads with an eclectic new lineup
by Tyler Clark
on January 08, 2020, 8:54am

Page 1Page 2
In 2018, we declared "the end of Bonnaroo as we knew it." A year later, we named Bonnaroo our Festival of the Year. That head-whipping U-turn reflected significant changes in Bonnaroo itself, ones that we felt put the South's premier festival back on a track and balanced both its jam-band past and poptimistic present. Ticket buyers agreed; for the first time since 2013, Bonnaroo sold out. There seemed to be a clear lesson at hand, one that all festivals could do well to follow: the best way to build an ongoing live music community is to define your identity and stick to it.
However, with the release of Bonnaroo's 2020 lineup, it's clear that festival organizers are ready to stress-test that wisdom. If there's a takeaway to be learned by scanning this year's festival poster, it may be that the actual identity of today's Bonnaroo is being confident enough to not have any set identity at all.
That's not meant as a pejorative. Instead of embracing death by a thousand glowsticks or leaning even harder into its hemp-covered roots, the 2020 edition of Bonnaroo instead champions the kind of genre-free eclecticism that reflects the increasingly borderless landscape of modern popular music. There's a little something for everyone at Bonnaroo 2020, whether you're a jam band diehard (Oysterhead!) or a Fear Inoculum stan (Tool!), a celebrator of Hot Girl Summer (Megan Thee Stallion) or a protestor at the RNC (Run the Jewels!), a sad millennial (Lana Del Ray!) or an Extremely Online Gen-Zer (uh… Oliver Tree?). The lineup is a dabbler's delight, one that mixes a diverse, disparate set of musical performers into a schedule as kaleidoscopic as a bootleg Phish tie-dye. The result is also one of Bonnaroo's most critically of-the-moment lineups in years; if you read our list of the Top 50 Albums of 2019, you'll find nine of those acts represented at this year's 'Roo.
That kind of musical omnivorousness is one of the lineup's biggest strengths on paper, but it may come with some surprising weaknesses in practice. As is true of most festivals, Bonnaroo will live or die by its headliners, whose star power often does the heavy lifting when it comes to ticket sales. This year's trio each comes with stronger credentials than we've seen in recent years: Tool remains on a victory lap from last year's release of the long-awaited Fear Inoculum, Lizzo translates the meteoric success of Cuz I Love You into an historic turn as the fest's first female headliner, and Tame Impala finally have new music to back up their status as one of the most reliable festival acts of their generation.

However, for all of the well-earned fanfare, each of Bonnaroo's headliners also comes with a question attached, ones that will likely determine the festival's relative success or failure. Will Tool fans shell out for a three-day festival when the band has its own tour dates throughout the South all summer? Does Lizzo's relatively slim (and already well-toured) body of work warrant regional or national travel from fans? Can a single new album, no matter how revelatory, really make up for the fact that Tame Impala has appeared at more than 70 festivals in the last five years?
If the answers to these questions are "yes," expect another potential sellout. However, if we get a "no" or two, then the lack of a coherent undercard roster from any of the headliners' preferred genre might act as a turn-off to any festivalgoer who remains on the fence.
After a stellar comeback in 2019, Bonnaroo has earned a little leeway in 2020. Attendees at this year's festival will be walking into a high-risk, high-reward experiment, one that finds the festival drawing on a ticket-buying pool that's broader than it is deep and banking on fans coming for the spectacle with open minds, piqued curiosity, and $300 a ticket. Will those fans show up? If they do, we hope they remembered their tents.

Pre-season Thoughts
By Barking Carnival Staff Sep 2, 2009, 12:24pm CDT
Share All sharing options for: Pre-season Thoughts
I can't quite justify spending $40 to watch Texas pay ULM on Saturday. $20, sure, but somehow $40 for a game whose outcome better not be in doubt seems unreasonable. Living here in Indiana forces one to make those kinds of decisions. Is it a no-brainer for the rest of you not able to attend the game live?
I'm watching last night's Craig Ferguson, typing a Barking Carnival Post, and "working." Home offices can be dangerous for pure commission salespeople.
The 6 starting Big 12 North QB's have combined for 32 career wins. Colt McCoy has 32 career wins. No other active QB has more than 26 (I think).
Colt has more college wins (32) than NFL Hall of Fame QB's Bart Starr (10), George Blanda (8), and Johnny Unitas (11) combined.
Colt is 25th in career wins (based on my very informal research). 1 win puts him in the top 20. 3 wins put him in the top 10. 5 wins put him in the top 5. 10 wins puts him in a tie for #1.
Mack Brown has 195 victories at an FBS school, which puts him 3rd among active coaches—14 wins ahead of the next-closest coach, Dick Tomey. It also puts him 16th all-time, 8 wins from the top 12.
Mack's 115 wins at Texas are the 5th-most of any active FBS coach at his current FBS school (Paterno, Bowden, Beamer, Snyder).
From 1987-97, Texas was 36th among FBS teams in winning %, with a record of 72-54-2 (57.03%). From 1998-2008, Texas was 2nd among FBS teams, with a record of 115-26 (81.56%). Boise State is 115-25.
I was surprised to learn the team with the highest win % away from home since 1999.
In his first six years at Texas, Mack's teams had 3 2nd-half and 3 4th-quarter comebacks. In the past five years, they've had 19 2nd-half comebacks and 9 4th-quarter comebacks. First thought might be that we've become slow-starters, but a quick check of the overall record shows we went from 59-18 to 56-8, suggesting that we just got better.
Since 2000, Texas has blocked more kicks (54) than Virginia Tech (46) or for that matter than any other team. But how many more times do you think that blocked kicks will be referred to during VT games than during Texas games this season?
There were 40 QB's in 2005 ranked as high as Colt by Rivals (5.6). Scanning through the list, the only ones who made significant contributions were Kerry Meier (as a TE at KU), Casey Dick (because his name led to some great headlines at Arkansas), Zac Robinson (OK State), Chase Daniel (Missouri), and Mark Sanchez (USC). I believe 30 of the other 40 didn't start more than one season of FBS college football.
If you'd watched the 2000 Texas 5A state championship football game, and you'd had to bet on which kid was destined to have the best pro career, I doubt it would have taken much thought. Looking back, however, the Longhorn with the best career so far, and having a career year this year, isn't the kid from Midland.
Basketball—Barnes has been our coach since 1998, like Mack. No national championship so far, but some very nice finishes. This year is the first since 2005 that we didn't lose talent to the NBA early (DJ-2008; KD-2007; LaMarcus & Daniel & PJ 2006). Prepare for a great year.

Is a personalized diet the secret to long-term good health?
What is the secret of a balanced diet to maintain good health? Genetic epidemiologist Tim Spector may have the answer after studying the extent to which our genes contribute to a wide range of human conditions and diseases.
Spector, founder of the UK Twin Registry at Kings College, investigated the genes of 13,000 pairs of twins to determine why these sets of siblings often die of different diseases.
"We are much more different than we have been led to believe., he asserted during an interview with the BBC.
To find an answer, the scientist began to study epigenetics: the power of external factors in the way genes can be turned on and off. As a first conclusion, Spector noted that the weight between twins can differ by up to 10 kg.
"We could only explain a small part of that 10kg difference with epigenetics", I explain Spector a la BBC. So we knew there was something going on that wasn't due to genes." added.
After further studying the case, together with his work team, they discovered that "The only thing they really differed in was their gut microbes."
"We all know that some people respond to some diets, but others do not, and yet we have a kind of dogma that we should all be the same and that if we don't lose weight it's our fault." dice.
The scientist asked a set of twins to provide stool samples to measure their microbes.
"We found that in all cases the slimmer twin had a more diverse microbiome (higher number of different species), and almost always had a high number of a couple of (types of) microbes that stood out from the crowd," points out.
To demonstrate what I was suggesting, Spector introduced one of the bacteria "that lost weight" to sterile mice. The results showed that the bacteria Christensenella it prevented the redors from "getting fat".
"That shows that a beneficial microbe can have an effect on our intestines to somehow change our metabolism and prevent us from gaining weight." assured. "Probablembody there are hundreds of thousands of microbes or strains like these that in combination can have this beneficial effect", he continued.
Another of the conclusions he reached was that to ensure that we have diverse microbes in our body, we must have a varied diet, which could be achieved by consuming 30 plants a week.
"It doesn't mean having to drink 30 kale shakes a week," indicates. "A plant is also the peanut, the seeds, a little turmeric", points, to continue saying that "Each plant will help promote the growth of a different set of bacteria or strains of bacteria."
The next step of Spector was to see how people responded differently to the same foods.
For this he launched the application ZOE in London and Boston. The goal of this app was to suggest the same foods to a group of 1,000 people so they could examine their microbiomes. Meals were to be eaten at exactly the same time.
"We observed large variations between individuals in how their blood sugar levels responded to various foods," the scientist pointed out.
Their main finding was noticing that some participants' blood sugar levels dropped two to four hours after eating. This group was more likely to feel hungry sooner and consume an average of 300 more calories in the remainder of the day.
"We've been brainwashed into thinking all calories are the same, but the findings have shattered that concept." assured.
"The results help explain why some people struggle to lose weight, even on calorie-controlled diets, and highlight the importance of understanding each person's unique biology when it comes to diet and health," details the Zoe website.

Build Your Own Oracle Infrastructure: Part 6 – Build OEM Cloud Control Server.
Now that the basic building blocks of the Oracle Database infrastructure are in place, it's time to start building out the servers themselves.
A management console helps enormously with the administration and maintenance of servers and that's what we're going to build first.
Although hardly the last word in ease of use, intuitive interface design or economical deployment, Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Cloud Control is, nonetheless, the standard Oracle management interface. So that's what we're going to use.
OEM installation and configuration has got progressively more complicated over the years. However, there is a simple installation option available which will get us up and running. The steps to get us from here to a shiny new OEM Cloud Control login screen require that we complete these 6 tasks.
Task #1: Install Oracle Linux.
Task #2: Configure Oracle Linux.
Task #3: Install Oracle Database 12c.
Task #4: Create a Repository Database.
Task #5: Install OEM Cloud Control.
Task #6: Starting and Stopping Cloud Control.
There are 4 steps to complete this task.
Task #1, Step #1/4: Start ORAEMCC_VM.
Once the VM's status shows Running, click on the Launch Console icon.
Task #1, Step #2/4: Follow the Oracle Linux Installation Screens.
Choose your preferred language. Click Next.
Choose your preferred keyboard layout. Click Next.
Select Basic Storage Devices. Click Next. Note the warm and fuzzy we're all in this together phrase, "If you're not sure which option is right for you, this is probably it". Ahhh. I wish this person would write more of Oracle's documentation.
Click Yes, discard any data. Click Next.
Click Configure Network. Highlight System eth0, then click Edit.
Change the Connection name to just eth0 (i.e. remove the word "System" – it's not needed). Check both boxes for Connect automatically and Available to all users. Click the IPv4 Settings tab.
Click Apply. Click Close. Click Next.
Choose your timezone. Click Next.
Choose a root password. Click Next.
Choose Use All Space. Check Review and modify partitioning layout. Click Next.
Using the right pointing arrow key, move the Xen Virtual Block Device (51200 MB) over to the Install Target Devices pane. Leave the two 30 GB disk devices where they are. We'll use those later. Click Next.
Click to highlight the lv_root logical volume, then click Edit to reduce its size to 34312 MB. Click to highlight the lv_swap logical volume, then click Edit to increase its size to 16384 MB (16 GB). Click Next.
Click Write changes to disk.
Check Install boot loader on /dev/xvdb. Select Oracle Linux Server 6 (Label) and /dev/mapper/vg_oraemcc-lv_root (Device). Click Next.
Select Database Server and Customize now. Click Next.
The installation will progress, installing 1249 packages in total.
Task #1, Step #3/4: Eject the Oracle Linux 6 ISO.
Task #1, Step #4/4: Complete Post Oracle Linux Installation.
Return to the ORAEMCC_VM console session. Click Reboot.
You may need to close the console session and open a new one. Review Step #1 for opening a console session from OVM Manager.
Select Boot from local drive and press Enter.
The system boots up and displays a Welcome screen. Click Forward.
Select Yes, I agree to the License Agreement. Click Forward.
Select No, I prefer to register at a later time. Get ready for an argument which you'll win.
Click No thanks, I'll connect later. Click Forward.
Ignore the chastisement about your system not being setup for software updates and click Forward.
We will not be creating a user account at this time, so ignore this screen and click Forward.
Check Synchronize date and time over the network. Click Forward.
Uncheck Enable kdump? Click Finish.
Kdump tells you it needs to reboot. Click Yes. The system reboots and you may have to close and re-open a console screen from OVM Manager.
Once Oracle Linux is installed, it needs to be configured to ensure the installation of Oracle Database 12c and OEM Cloud Control 12c Release 5 succeed. The OEM Cloud Control documentation is verbose to say the least, so the following 8 steps will guide you through the bare essentials.
Task #2, Step #1/8: Check Package Requirements for Oracle Management Service.
A vanilla install of Oracle Linux 6.6 does not create all these packages at these versions. For example, the binutils package is installed at binutils-2.20.51.0.2-5.42.el6.x86_64 which is different from the required version. It's tempting to remove the installed version and replace it with the exact version listed in the table. However, doing that will remove hundreds of dependent packages, so I wouldn't recommend it.
The warning in the installation guide says having different versions of these packages, "might cause the installation to fail". Trust me on this, it won't as you'll see later on.
Task #2, Step #2/8: Check Package Requirements for Oracle Management Agent.
Task #2, Step #3/8: Update Oracle Linux.
This will take a while. It will ask you to confirm progress in a couple of places, so don't go to lunch or it'll be waiting for you when you get back.
Note, this update will upgrade the version of Oracle Linux from 6.6 to 6.7.
Task #2, Step #4/8: Install the Oracle 12c Release 1 Pre-Installation Package.
Since we're using a single server for the entire OEM software stack, the server will also need to run an Oracle 12c database. Consequently, the operating system needs to be configured to support that as well as the OEM components. The easiest way to introduce multiple configuration changes which benefit an Oracle Database 12c installation is to install Oracle's 12cR1 pre-installation package. This can be done in a couple of ways.
Despite the correct changes having been made to the system file /etc/security/limits.conf, I had to add the following line to the oracle user's .bash_profile. Without it, the OEM installer failed a prerequisite check!
Task #2, Step #5/8: Disable SELinux.
SELinux is enabled by default when you install Oracle Linux 6.6. It can have the nasty side effect of causing ASM disk instantiation failures. Hence, I always disable SELinux.
Task #2, Step #6/8: Disable Linux Firewall.
Generally speaking, firewalls are a good thing.
In a production environment, you'd want to work with your Network Administrator and have them open up the ports necessary for OEM Cloud Control to work. Information on those ports can be found here.
However, in our environment we can trust that we won't hack ourselves and we'll go ahead and disable the Linux firewall.
Task #2, Step #7/8: Create Additional File Systems.
The ORAEMCC_VM had 3 disk resources allocated to it. That means 3 disk devices should have shown up after we installed Oracle Linux. We already used /dev/xvdb for the Oracle Linux installation, so we need to use the other two disks to create the /u01 and /u02 filesystems.
Perform the same operation for disk device, /dev/xvdd.
Perform the same operation for disk partition, /dev/xvdd1.
Task #2, Step #8/8: Edit /etc/hosts file.
Click Yes to confirm that you wish to remain uninformed. Love the wording.
The installer then runs its prerequisite checks which should all pass without incident. You should then see this summary screen. Click Install to start the installation.
After the scripts have been run, return to the Execute Configuration Scripts dialog and click OK. You'll then see this final screen and your work here is done. For now.
In the good old days, you could create an empty database and have the installation of OEM populate it with all the necessary repository objects. Seems that's beyond our capabilities now as Oracle wants you to use a pre-configured database template instead. Hopefully you have downloaded the Oracle Enterprise Manager Repository Database Template referenced in Part 2 of this series.
Note, this template is highly version specific. It is designed to work with Oracle Database 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.2) and Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 5.
Task #4, Step #1/3: Unzip the Template.
[oracle@oraemcc templates]$ cp ~/media/oemcc_12cR5/12.1.0.2.0_Database_Template_for_EM12_1_0_5_0_Linux_x64.zip .
Task #4, Step #2/3: Set the Oracle Environment.
Task #4, Step #3/3: Run the Database Configuration Assistant.
Ignore the next Pythonesque retort, "should at least be thrice the database size". It'll be telling you to fetch it a shrubbery next. 🌲 Click Yes to move on.
When you run Oracle Database Configuration Assistant to create the database, on the Database Content screen, by default the Run the following scripts option is selected to run the shpool script. The script sets the shared pool in the database. Make sure you RETAIN THE SELECTION. Do not deselect it.
You'll be looking at the Progress Page for a while. Make yourself a cup of coffee.
Eventually you'll see the completion screen and all will be well with the world. Click Close.
Uncheck the option, I wish to receive security updates via My Oracle Support. Click Next.
Part of the basic installation of OEM includes simplified password management. A single Administrator password covers several important accounts. As the screen says, the passwords for these accounts can be changed later if required.
Return to the previous dialog box and click OK. A Finish screen will be displayed and you're done!
Now that we have everything installed, up and running this is a useful little reminder of how to start and stop the Cloud Control infrastructure.
Step #1: Start the database listener.
Step #2: Start the Repository database.
Step #3: Start the Oracle Management Server.
Step #4: Start the Management Agent.
Step #1: Stop the Oracle Management Server.
Copyright (c) 1996, 2015 Oracle Corporation.  All rights reserved.
Step #2: Stop the Management Agent.
Step #3: Stop the Repository database.
Step #4: Stop the database listener.
Wow! That was quite the marathon. Many steps and not an insignificant amount of time has hopefully got Cloud Control up and running. In Part 7, we'll build out the Oracle RAC server nodes. Stay tuned for updates.

Renowned physicist, President of the University discuss renewable energy research
Palestinian-American physicist and Professor of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Dr. Munir Nayfeh visited Birzeit University's campus on January 8, 2017. Dr. Nayfeh met with President of Birzeit University Dr. Abdullatif Abuhijleh to discuss research efforts in nanotechnology and renewable energy generation and storage.
The meeting was attended by Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Faisal Awadallah; Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Mazen Hamed; and Assistant to the President Abdel Aziz Shawabkeh.
Dr. Nayfeh also met with a number of faculty members from the Faculties of Engineering and Technology and Science, with plans to organize a nanotechnology and renewable energy conference later this year.
Dr. Abuhijleh noted the need to keep up with major trends in renewable energy research, saying, "Our environment is our most prized asset, and we must do everything in our power to save it. Modern research in renewable energy generation has led us to the point where we can generate enough power to cover all of our needs. But the next problem to overcome is renewable energy storage, which we hope to do with the help of nanotechnology."
"Here at Birzeit University," added Dr. Abuhijleh, "as part of our commitment to the environment and renewable energy research, we have assigned a committee to plan and introduce a master's degree in renewable energy, and we have also started a project to cover the roofs of our faculties and facilities with solar panels. So far, we have three buildings fully covered, and there are talks to extend this project to include all parking spaces."
Dr. Nayfeh highlighted the recent nanotechnology breakthroughs in renewable and sustainable energy storage, "Nanotechnology has its numerous applications – from medicine to chemistry to farming, and the list goes on – but its most important application is energy. It opens a whole new world of opportunities."
"At a certain point in time, renewable energy generation became feasible. Technologies such wind farms, solar photovoltaic power plants, and geothermal solutions became well-known and easily applicable. But the energy generated by those solutions was, even if clean, was variable. Nanotechnology provides a method of generation that will ensure a steady, consistent flow of energy to homes, schools, and companies," said Dr. Nayfeh.

Q: Does dropping/renaming an existing table that is created by EF Code First Approach and replacing that with a copy of that table will break the app? I'm not quite familiar with how DBAs handles the DB that is created by EF code first approach so I wanted to throw that question in. Just doing some analysis since we have a table that has 160 million records on it which has 4 years worth of data and we're limited with what we can do infrastructure-wise. So we were asked to archive and trim those records down of that table to one year... What was suggested by peers is to make a copy of that table (just structure no data), then backfill that with a year worth of data, once done, we'll do the swap by renaming the old table (then the new table to succeed the old ones). Seems like a decent plan to minimize the downtime, but I've realized that the table is handled by EF, is that going to be a problem since we keep a metadata of the DB in the Migration History table?
E.g. tables:

*

*TimeEntry -> contains 160 million records

*new_TimeEntry -> will get data transferred from TimeEntry (a year worth of data).

After the transfer:

*

*TimeEntry -> TimeEntry_Archived

*new_TimeEntry -> TimeEntry

A: Yes you can do that.

*

*Shut down the application that is using EF.

*Do what you want, add new tables and move data around and rename tables.

*When you are done, make sure the tables that EF knows about, are still in the same shape (same fields, relationsships, etc).

*Start the application that is using EF.

If the tables that are not known by EF, contain links to other tables and you want those maintained (when using the app implemented using EF), like cascading deletes and stuff like that, then you can not do what you want - then you must create your changes using an EF migration instead.

I had been led to believe that the weather would be good on Sunday. The five day forecast had said so and also there was all that talk of the "last weekend of summer." However, when I got up on Sunday, it was distinctly grey. When I actually got to the runners' area it was properly raining and I wished that I was one of the sensible people who had a binbag.
The start was organised in two waves. It will surprise no-one to know that I was in the second wave, which started half an hour after the first one. This was actually just as well, because the queue for the bagdrop was fairly long and the queue for the toilets were ridiculously long. I overheard some first wavers complaining that they'd missed their start because of the queues. I didn't make it to my pen and just had to join the end of the people walking to the start. To be fair, this meant that I started at the back, which was where I'd have been if I'd been in my pen.
The first five miles went out of Bristol along the Avon gorge and then the next five miles came back the same way. For this bit the waved start was good for me psychologically because I could tell myself that all the people running in the opposite direction had had a head start! Once I passed five miles and was going the other way, it felt like I was going in the right direction. The last three miles was around Bristol centre and so there were more people supporting at that point. This was good because I really felt the last three miles. I didn't walk any of it, which I was pleased with, but during the last bit I was jogging at the same speed as the walkers.
It didn't rain the whole way, but it was pretty rainy for a lot of the time. This probably wasn't a terrible thing. Both Fiona and Sinead will attest that the half marathon in Brighton in February was in horrible weather and that was my best half marathon time to date. I had been pretty worried about the expected hot weather beforehand. The rain obviously helped, because I finished in less than a minute over my Brighton time and I was pleased with that.
Bristol was my third half this year and my fourth in total. Rather alliteratively, all of the halves this year have begun with B. I have completed Brighton, Berlin, Bristol and in October I am going to have a go at Birmingham. I might try and have a go at beating my Brighton time in Birmingham, but for me to do that it might just have to rain.

October 31, 2016, 12:06 PM · In an effort to promote the coverage of live violin performance, Violinist.com each week presents links to reviews of notable concerts and recitals around the world.
Hilary Hahn premiered a solo violin partita by Antón García Abril and performed sonatas by Bach, Mozart and Schubert in recital with pianist Robert Levin.
Violinist.com: "If Abril has a gift for polyphonic writing, Hahn has a gift for polyphonic playing, drawing a kaleidoscope of colors from that Vuillaume fiddle..."
Los Angeles Times: "What came out was an attractive, questioning, absorbing series of multi-stopped harmonies that allowed Hahn's tone to bloom fully for the first time in the evening."
The Washington Post: "I was not ripped from my seat, but I certainly would not mind hearing them once more. Then again, it would be hard to mind hearing Hahn, with her quiet, luminous mastery, play pretty much anything she chose."
Washington Classical Review: "Hahn's playing, an ideal mixture of intelligence, refinement, and ferocious technique, can lift up even mediocre music. With music of more potential–not to mention a more formidable partner in pianist Robert Levin–the rest of the program surpassed expectations."

Frank Huang performed Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 with the New York Philharmonic.
The New York Times: "Mr. Huang's warm, radiant sound has penetrating depth but never turns thick or seems forced. In the first movement's somber prelude, he shaped the quizzical violin lines with affecting restraint, conveying the music's improvisatory character."
Nicola Benedetti performed the Marsalis with the National Symphony Orchestra.
The Washington Post: "At bottom, it's an exultation about sound, offering a big bath of different noises in which everyone, players and listeners, can splash. "
Washington Classical Review: "The piece is burgeoning with ideas, none of which go anywhere in particular, although it runs over forty minutes in length. A firm editor is just what is needed, a critical but friendly hand to slice away about 40% of the fat."
James Ehnes performed Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Cleveland Orchestra.
The Plain Dealer: "Ehnes is an introspective, mild-mannered performer. Whatever he eschews in showmanship, however, he makes up for in care, detail, and passion. Every note Thursday, whether stand-alone or in a series, received his close attention."
The Philadelphia Inquirer: "...in the encore, all sorts of other qualities blossomed. The second movement of Prokofiev's Sonata for Solo Violin glowed. Eberle's sound moved through four or five distinct colors, and she underscored emotional points with highly developed ideas about phrasing."
Baiba Skride performed the Sibelius with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Chicago Tribune: "Her playing had a wonderful purity, clarity and quiet to match the patience of the music, especially in the hushed soliloquy that is the slow movement. A less nervy Sibelius than one is used to hearing, then, but refreshing to ear and mind and attentively accompanied by the orchestra."
Valeriy Sokolov performed the Barber with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
Herald Scotland: "Barber's Violin Concerto (was) gloriously played with a seductive glow and some fierce intensity by Ukranian Valeriy Sokolov."
Lara St. John performed the Tchaikovsky with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra.
Summerland Review: "From the sweeping melodies and technical fireworks of the first and second movements to the relentless Cossack dance-like finale, St. John effortlessly tossed off virtuosic passages with ease and panache. Both soloist and orchestra received a resounding standing ovation at the conclusion."
Vernon Morning Star: "St. John's intensely focused energy, ripping through the gamut of musical possibilities in an electrifying cadenza, garnered ecstatic applause at the end of the first movement. The third movement, segueing from the second, brought the audience to its feet, demanding more."
Joshua Bell performed works by Beethoven, Brahms, Ysaÿe, Debussy, and Sarasate in recital with pianist Alessio Bax.
The Telegram: "If there ever were such a post, surely Joshua Bell would be the country's musical poet laureate. How else to describe his playing? It's thoughtful, imaginative, and rigorously coherent."
David Coucheron performed works by Vitali, Leclair and Chausson in a chamber music recital.
ArtsATL: "As fellow violinists, Coucheron and Kim seem to be of compatible musical minds, playing engagingly as a duo in this attractive, if rather ordinary, French Baroque (Leclair) sonata."
November 1, 2016 at 07:26 AM · Where did Hahn perform?
November 1, 2016 at 11:31 AM · Los Angeles, then Washington DC. Then this week Seattle and Chicago. Busy schedule!
November 2, 2016 at 04:41 AM · Just came from Hilary Hahn's Chicago concert. Her performance was very captivating. She drew in a young crowd, majority of the audience were younger than 30! She connected well with the crowd. She even kept us up-to-date with the Cubs Game 6 score!
We would definitely love to have her back here.


Every time you exhibit on the trade show floor, people will judge your company based purely on the layout and design of your booth. Whether consciously or subconsciously, they'll form a split second impression of your business – good, bad or indifferent – often from as far as 20 feet away.
If you are planning to develop a new exhibit for your company, or revamp an existing one, I strongly recommend that you begin the process by taking a stroll around a trade show floor. Spend some time exploring your own perceptions of other company's exhibits. Consider which booths you are most drawn to visit, and why you find them so inviting. Conversely, are there any booths you want to avoid? What is it that makes you want to steer clear?
In designing your own booth, begin with the walls, or backdrop. Keep in mind that graphics speak much louder than words. This is because people respond to graphics first, and words second. Choose a graphic element or image that will connect your company to your target audience. There should be very little verbiage on the exhibit itself. If you do decide to use text, limit yourself to three to five concise selling points that relate your company's offering to your audience. These should describe your solution or highlight key customer benefits.
Once you're satisfied with your backdrop, it's time to figure out what you're going to put in your booth, and how you're going to organize the available floor space. Remember that trade shows fall within the category of "teaser" marketing. Ideally, the meeting on the trade show floor will entice a qualified prospect to attend a second more educational presentation at your company's offices. For this reason, only show the best and brightest of your offering on the trade show floor. Avoid the temptation to bring every product your company has ever made, or to display large pieces of equipment, both of which can overwhelm your visitors. If you really must bring it all with you, make sure you have booked a large enough booth.
In developing your booth layout, strive to create an open, uncluttered and inviting space. A table across the front of your exhibit gives a clear "STAY OUT" message. If one is supplied with your booth space, it should be placed to the side of the exhibit or removed altogether. Keep in mind that, just as many visitors will avoid a booth with an overabundance of product on display, others fear being trapped in a booth without an exit. Clearly-defined entry and exit points are a must.
The best booth layout is one that maximizes your exposure by appealing to attendees from several different angles. When you set up your exhibit on the show floor, be sure to step away and check that your key marketing message is visible from all directions. After all, you only get one chance to make a great first impression.

Emergency small business loan program is off to shaky start amid blitz of applications
Paul DavidsonUSA TODAY
Banks are struggling to handle a massive surge of applications for loans aimed at helping small businesses keep workers on staff and pay other bills as the coronavirus pandemic takes a growing toll on the economy.
How quickly the loans -- which are forgivable if a small businesses retains its workers – can be disbursed is likely to determine what portion of the firms can survive the crisis, which has shut down restaurants, stores and other Main Street concerns across the country.
The Federal Reserve, meanwhile, said Monday that it's creating a program to make billions of dollars in additional funds available to banks for the loans.
The Treasury Department and Small Business Administration allowed firms with less than 500 employees to start applying for the loans on Friday, but the early rollout has been marred by confusion, technical glitches and banks' own loan volume limits.
"Every bank has got to figure out pretty quickly how to process them, how to prioritize them and how much of their balance sheet to allocate to them," says Ami Kassar, CEO of MultiFunding, a small business loan advisor.
The $2.2 trillion CARES Act, passed by Congress late last month, provides $349 billion in loans that are guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. A firm can apply for a loan of up to $10 million to cover payroll and other expenses. If the business keeps its staff – or rehires any laid-off employees – eight weeks of the costs are forgiven. The loans require no collateral and carry just a 1% interest rate.
The system was set up with breathtaking speed, just a week after the legislation was passed.
Wells Fargo says it already has reached the $10 billion in loan requests it can handle under a cap imposed by the Federal Reserve because of the company's creation of millions of fake accounts between 2002 and 2016.
"While we are actively working to create balance sheet capacity to lend, we are limited in our ongoing ability to use our strong capital and liquidity position to extend additional credit," Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf said in a statement.
Bank of America says it has received 183,000 applications for more than $33 billion in loans. To be eligible, however, the business must have an existing checking account with the bank and be an existing borrower. Alternatively, the business can simply have a checking account as long as it doesn't have a credit relationship with another bank.
Bank of America is taking applications on its website and then sending them to the SBA.
Smaller community banks face bigger technical hurdles, according to the Independent Community Bankers of America. Many simply refer small businesses to the SBA website to apply. The SBA system, in turn, is getting overloaded, says ICBA CEO Rebecca Romero Rainey.
On Monday, "It just completely shut down," she says. "The challenge is with the incredible amount of volume going through the system all at once."
Also, she says, many banks that don't have an existing relationship with the SBA have not yet received passwords to access the agency's system.
While the loans are guaranteed and theoretically entail no risk for banks, many banks are still struggling with how much of their portfolios to devote to the SBA program, Kassar says. The Fed, meanwhile, will be offering financing for the loans, providing a fresh funding source for banks that may have limited cash for them, Rainey says.
Kassar reckons it could take a few weeks for the kinks to be worked out of the SBA program. That's manageable for many businesses but could be a problem for many with fewer than five employees, whose cash reserves are likely to last just several weeks, Kassar says.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump described the program as "flawless." On Monday, Trump acknowledged the Paycheck Protection Program had experienced "minor glitches" but that it had "gotten off to a tremendous start." And he said those glitches have been fixed.

'Occupy Wall St' Complains of Media Blackout
As the Dow Jones Industrial Average tanked nearly 400 points today following yesterday's big stock market sell-off, my guess is that New York Stock Exchange management would gladly turn over the trading floor to the young and earnest "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrators who have been staging a carnival of protest in lower Manhattan since Saturday.
They claim to be protesting on behalf of the 99 percent of America which doesn't control this country's wealth. It's a good time for the Big Board to take a breath. Shut it down, indeed. Let the rabble occupy the place until next week's opening bell.
More than 5,000 protesters kicked off the OWS action and a couple of hundred remain encamped downtown. Heavy rain starting later continuing into the weekend will dampen their enthusiasm and put a likely end to the protest. The protest gets an "A" for effort.
Organizers have complained of a mainstream boycott of the so-called "days of rage." That's not completely true. And to be honest, OWS didn't turn out to be "Arab Spring-like" in its influence and number of people involved. (OWS says its happy with the tens of thousands of supporting "Tweets" received worldwide. Tens of thousands feet on the street would have been much more impressive.)
The Wall Street Journal (Sept. 20) did run a piece about police arresting protesters wearing masks. That 150-year-old law went on the books because tenant farmers disguised themselves as Indians when fighting agents of landlords. It was updated during the 1960s to ban masked gatherings of two or more people. [You can bet New York's Finest will be extra vigilant as Halloween approaches. Watch out Greenwhich Village parade-goers.]
The cops also cracked down on a protester who was chalking a sidewalk, reported the paper. One officer perhaps didn't appreciate the Gandhi quote on non-violence that was written by an Oakland man who got a summons for "damage to the sidewalk."
OWS organizers say the mainstream media would have gone all-out if 5,000 Tea Partiers showed up to protest in New York. That's iffy. Besides cheerleader Fox News, the Tea Party would be given a pass in the nation's media capital. Any coverage would surely focus on the Tea Party as a front group for high-rollers such as the Koch brothers and FreedomWorks.
New York City is a big place with lots going all. For instance, the OWS action coincides with the opening festivities of the United Nations, which has received a lot of attention in the press. Poor scheduling contributed to the lack of coverage of the lower Manhattan protests.
The OWS braintrust should do a better job planning their return trip to the city.

There is so much going on with this story! I liked how it had several different settings and didn't stick to one place. I also loved how fast this story moved. Something is always happening. While I enjoyed this for the most part, I didn't find it to be the strongest setup for this series. I will definitely be continuing on with this series though, because I'm quite intrigued to see where it goes!
Apocalyptic mystery for teens. A little horror, a little fantasy, lots of angst: "The glowing stone is an arrow, left to show us the way. We have to follow it into the heart of the unknown. We must enter the woods" Nothing special, but serves its purpose.
"Oh hey, let's try a new series. This one looks good " 20 pages in *entire school gets transported to another world*I can't I can't escape it.2.5 rounded down Not the best art, not the most original plot, and girls being assholes to each other for "reasons" means I'm mostly left unimpressed.
Probably closer to 4.5. I am realllllly liking this so far!
3.5This was fun and fast-paced. The colors were bright and pretty too! It's just nothing special. I would continue reading it if someone would lend me their copies though! Not bad.
This wasn't too bad albeit a bit watered down for a YA audience for my normal taste.
Bullet Review:Very enjoyable! A high school gets transported to some alien moon and, well, chaos ensues. Five teens head out to try to solve the mystery of why they are there while the rest fight to exert control.This is the type of story I love; adventure/journey/travel/survival stories. It brings out the best - and worst - in people.
New favourite comic alert!! This was like if The 100 took place in the Upside Down and it was all set on an Alien Moon. Think Lumberjanes but A LOT darker. I loved this so much. The art was stunning and I love the characters. I can't recommend this enough and I can't wait to see what happens in volume 2!!!
Una historia trepidante llena de acción y grandes dosis de intriga. Me ha gustado el dibujo y el guión tiene las dosis justas de humor. Los monstruitos están muy logrados pero con tanto personaje de momento tengo un pequeño batiburrillo en la cabeza. Espero que la trama siga siendo así de interesante.
Enjoyable little mystery a la Lost except this one revolves around a High School transported into a freaky woods with weird creatures and stranger stuff.
I really like where this story is going. It's scary, dark, brutal, and intriguing with a great cast of characters! Plus the kids are from my hometown so I just can't say no.
Wow! This series is off to a great start. A high school gets transported to a distant, seemingly hostile planet. Things quickly get as Lord of the Flies as one would expect. In some ways it's reminiscent of Stephen King's novella, "The Mist." There are some intriguing mysteries developing, but things are basically just starting up as this volume comes to a close. I definitely want to read more of this!

Nike, Ulta Show Loyalty Programs Taking Star Turn As Year Ends
December 22, 2020 77 views0
The pandemic interjected a lot of uncertainty into the world of loyalty and rewards offerings in the last year as consumers' shopping habits realigned and contracted to meet the rarified needs of the moment.
Travel offerings and frequent flyer miles, long a mainstay of loyalty offerings, fell out of favor as COVID-19 grounded flights and kept consumers wary of venturing too far from home.
But the loyalty playing field has seemingly changed much like the rest of retail in an effort to remain relevant to emerging consumer needs, and it's seeing some success pulling consumers in as the year is coming to a conclusion.
For example, according to data released by Collinson Valuedynamx, loyalty program shoppers in 2020 spent significantly more than in previous years buying gifts for friends, loved ones and themselves this holiday season. All in, the data marked a 28 percent year-over-year increase in spend with flower and gift retailers as well as a 46 percent spike in health, beauty and wellness. It wasn't quite a banner year across the board, however, as electronics and appliance spend decreased about 11 percent, and luxury dropped 20 percent when measured against the same time period in 2019.
Loyalty consumers are buying, somewhat differently than they did last year, but there is a will to spend in the segment. It's a will that we've see brands and retailers try to capture all year by leveling up their loyalty offerings. Nike, for example, as of its last earnings call, was reporting big gains for its Nike Membership initiative, a free loyalty program that offers exclusive sales events, rewards points and more.
"Since the pandemic began, we've added more than 70 million new members globally, and we're deeply focused on the member-funnel outcomes, including new-member buying, reactivation and retention," Nike President and CEO John Donahoe noted in his call with investors. "And it's working. Importantly, buying-member growth is outpacing new- and active-member growth, and growth in member demand is outpacing total digital growth."
Last month, loyalty automation platform Glue raked in $8 million in series A funding — money that will be put toward nudging local businesses to adopt loyalty programs.
"… we understood what's really important to the business owners we spoke with is the ability to keep their customers coming back," Glue CEO Ira Nachtigal told VentureBeat. "But they are busy. Most local businesses don't have the time, the knowledge, or the resources to manage it. Loyalty, when done right, is complex, so we decided not to create yet another loyalty tool, but rather to do the work for them."
Moreover, Ulta Vice President of Customer Experience Kelly Mahoney noted in a panel with KeyBank Head of Payments Mitch Kime, novae Head of Payments Rodrigo McCarthy and PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster, loyalty has to be more than automatable and simple. It's also a way to meet the reality of the modern consumers' needs, to be flexible and serve as an effective customer retention tool.
"Everything about the Ulta Beauty experience had to be reconsidered in this omnichannel, highly digitized shopping experience," she said.
"In the moment you see that they're browsing and they're not pulling the trigger, what is it going to take in the moment to reach that customer with the right offer to tee up that purchase?" she added.
Good loyalty, she said, works on that emotional layer. Rewards and loyalty don't need to give the customer things for free every time, but they do need to connect the customer to something the really want.

The Barolo 1970 vintage came at a period of transition. Chemical treatments in the vineyards were still a novelty. The Nebbiolo wines had traditionally been built for a long future, with months of maceration and years of patient ageing in the botti (large oak barrels). At the same time, new ideas began to emerge in the late 1960s, shorter maceration times and wines from individual vineyards. But we would still have to wait about ten years before small French oak barrels were introduced in the area.
I had the opportunity to try eight barolos from 1970 when Munskänkarna arranged a tasting run by Torsten Rundqvist. He had found these wines, ranging in price from 50 euro to 100 euro, in a German online store.
Renato Ratto Annunziata Barolo 1970 was brilliantly clear with a hint of ammonia and a palate with medium tannins flavours of red, slightly sour cherries. Modest impression.
Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo 1970 had a clear brick colour with a characteristic barnyard nose and a palate with young red berries, low tannins and high acidity. A wine keeping good vigour. It was the group's favourite.
Tenuta Cerequio Barolo 1970 had a slightly cloudy appearance with a scent of forest and berries and medium tannins, with delicious notes of plum and cherry and a long austere aftertaste. My own favourite, a well-balanced and still very drinkable wine.
Marchesi di Barolo 1970 was the darkest one with a hint of moss and a taste of sour berries and some cocoa with a fair amount of astringency.
Francesco Rinaldi Barolo 1970 was very clear and had a strong nose with ripe plums and a little sweetness in the taste, virtually without tannins, tending towards a sherry style.
Terre di Barolo, Barolo 1970 (a wine cooperative) was cloudy, with a scent of red berries and a taste of sour plums and a good level of tannins. The groups thought this was the least interesting wine.
Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1970 was not quite clear, with a strong hint of ammonia and tasted quite astringent and with a lot of overripe cherries and plums.
Franco Fiorina Barolo 1970 was cloudy, going towards brown and an almost a bit bitter taste of rose hip with a good level of tannins.
Several of the wines were quite brick-coloured; most were clear and brilliant, but there were also some that were a little cloudy and with a deposit. That is of course not so strange after 48 years. Because there were a lot of bottles there were also a few with cork issues.
If one would eat something with these wines, then I could imagine a dish of veal and potatoes gratin so as not to overpower the wines' characters too much.
Overall, I would not buy these wines myself, but I'm glad I participated in the tasting which was very interesting and gave me an insight into the pros and cons of old, well-matured Barolo wines.
