For those of you that do not know, Goldman Sachs is one of the world's leading financial institutions.
Goldman Sachs provides a wide range of financial services, such as investment banking and asset management; the group reported a net revenue of $30.61 billion in 2016. In short, Goldman Sachs is a very influential player amongst financial institutions, and this is what the group had to say about the cryptocurrency market.
In a note circulated by Robert D.
Boroujerdi, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, he indicated that: 'with the total value of cryptocurrencies nearing $120 billion, it was becoming harder for institutional investors to ignore the market'.
Considering that the value of the cryptocurrency market was $40 billion at the start of the year, there are significant growth opportunities that financial institutions could potentially capitalise on. Should Goldman Sachs whole-heartedly embrace the cryptocurrency market, this may signal to other financial institutions to do same.
As of now, many financial institutions have predominantly held back from fully committing to the crypto-space.
A big reason for this, is the risk of uncertainty in the market with regard to how it will be regulated. For example, The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently ruled that initial coin offerings (ICOs) can be regarded as securities, and as a result, they should be subject to securities regulation.
Goldman CEO Says If Bitcoin Works, 'We'll Get to It'
Thus, it is entirely possible that, as a clearer picture is formed with regard to how the crypto-space is regulated, the more capital that financial institutions may commit to cryptocurrencies, in hopes to capture the growth that the space has experienced so far.
Goldman Sachs On Initial Coin Offerings
In a Goldman Sachs FAQ, held for institutional investors, the group highlighted the increasing popoularity of ICOs in the market. Over $1 billion has been raised so far this year through ICOs.
ICOs, as a method of raising capital, has proved far more popular amongst start-ups than Angel & Seed VC funding.
Similarly to the manner in which financial institutions profit from a company's Initial Public Offering (IPO), there may be an opportunity for financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, to position themselves in such a way that allows them to benefit monetarily from ICOs.
Given the substantial amount of money that ICOs normally raise, ICOs could be a very lucrative source of revenue for financial institutions in the future.
Long Tail In The Crypto-Market
Goldman Sachs also highlighted the long tail in the cryptocurrency market, alluding to the disproportionate market capitalisation across digital coins. As Goldman Sachs noted in the FAQ: 'There are currently over 800 cryptocurrencies out there, though just 9 have a market capitalisation in excess of $1 billion'.
The obvious implications of having such a concentration of capital in a handful of cryptocurrencies is that the cryptocurrency market is really only being driven by the performance of a few coins.
This is especially true for Bitcoin, where crypto-market movements are heavily linked to Bitcoin's performance.
However, this is to be expected when Bitcoin, in terms of market capitalisation, represents nearly half of all cryptocurrency market capitalisation.
It is important to note that tailwinds do also provide investment opportunities, as one is likely to find undervalued coins that have significant room to grow and realise potential.
Goldman Sachs's recognition of the potential of cryptocurrencies is an important one.
It will serve as a signal to other financial institutions to also conduct some research into the space.
After regulatory issues are resolved, I expect to see a significant increase in capital and involvement by financial institutions in the cryptocurrency market. Acceptance of cryptocurrencies by the financial sector would bring validation to the market, which may serve as a signal for its adoption by the wider populous.

Comment on "Kids' Sugar Cravings Might Be Biological" on Morning Edition Sept 26, 2011 where it was reported that sugar cravings are not an indicator of tendency toward obesity, but are found naturally in all children. Thus controlling obesity in children will not be successful if the only method used is an attempt to change the motivation of children toward sweets. The report relates sweetness preference instead to pain relief and to helping to promote growth in height.
NPR reporter Gretchen Cuda Kroen highlighted two research studies on sugar preferences in children by interviewing Julie Mennella of the Monel Chemical Senses Center and Susan E. Coldwell of the University of Washington, Seattle. Both studied sweetness preferences in children, looking for reasons why children preferred higher sweetness, but from two different angles. Pepino and Mennella (2005) compared the child's (aged 5-10 yr) with its mother's preferences (same genes and environment, average age 35.4 yr) and the ability of sugar to reduce pain sensitivity.
Coldwell et al (2009) studied the changes in sweetness preference in adolescents undergoing puberty changes in varying degrees (with sample participants from pre-pubescence, some from post-pubescence, and some from in between). Cuda Kroen uses the term "hardwired" to describe the fact that infants are born with a preference for sugar from "day one". Pepino and Mennella (2005) also point out that children are sensitive to bitterness, too (explaining the resistance toward eating vegetables, which NPR reported last year could also be due to physiological differences in being able to taste the bitterness).
The report concentrated on the finding by Coldwell et al (2009) that supported previous research suggesting an upper age limit for this "super-sized sugar preference." Coldwell et al (2009) found that the loss in sugar preference seemed to coincide most strongly with the drop in a marker of bone growth in the urine. They conclude that sweetness preference loss tracks more closely with a slowing of growth than with hormones most commonly associated with puberty.
My Comment Posted at NPR
What do you mean "might be biological?" As opposed to What? There is no way they can get cravings unless it is "biological". I hate the use of this term to imply that on the one hand, there is biology, and on the other hand, …what? If they want to imply genetic control, then use that term. However, genes do not cause any difference seen in people. It is the interaction between genes and environment that results in what has been attributed to "genetic difference". If people's physiology is different, then say that differences in physiology seem to be involved. Physiological differences are often due to acquired differences in what is present inside the body, e.g. situations that the body must handle differently from another person.
From the neuroscientific evidence on taste buds (Chaudhari et al 2010, Bradbury 2004), we need to realize that taste is a factor in helping to regulate body metabolism but is not in any way a sole predictor of body weight changes. The report emphasizes that we cannot assume that preference for sugar is something bad in children. More importantly, this study shows that we have to realize that our overweight population of children is probably due to multiple causes, and not just to overeating. The "calories in = calories out" model is clearly a HUGE oversimplification. The study reported here is just one of many that have attempted to get at what happens at the "=" sign in the above equation. (see my blog post "Sweetness Preferences Change at Puberty" at https://marthalhyde.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/sweetness-preferences-change-at-puberty/ for more discussion about what taste receptors are for, how they work, and problems with many scientific explanations.)
More of My Ideas
Scientific Method and "Genetics" as Explanation
"Genetic differences" may actually be physiological differences, explained by the presence of toxins or other traumatic assaults that force the nervous system to write alternative programs as workarounds–something that any body of any genetic background would do. If there are differences in genes, these could also have been acquired, as in mutations caused by certain toxins present in the tissues where these genes are being expressed. We have to be careful about our conclusions because, even if genetic differences are found that are associated with a difference in physiology, we must always ask first, are these genes found in the eggs of the mother and/or sperm of the father? Did the sample of tissue from the person being genetically analyzed come from only those places most likely to be exposed to mutagenic toxins? or were there multiple samples taken from all over the body, from deep inside organs not likely to be exposed to the toxin and analyzed separately?
If all samples are pooled together and genetically analyzed, then we still do not know if the genetic difference was acquired during life or passed down from the parent, or if the parent had acquired it via exposure to mutagenic toxins–a high likelihood, since toxins will pool in the body's lower regions–groin, pelvic cavity, hands and feet. We have to conclude that this simplistic attitude toward genetic information is incredibly misleading. Precision is important because its lack has caused both news reporters and physicians to say there are genetic differences in particular characteristics where there are no genes even recognized as being associated with that characteristic. Because of this misunderstanding, the recommended action by a patient with a characteristic is often misapplied.
What Taste Tells Us
There is no way that bone directly tells the tongue anything, since there is no direct innervation between the two. Anything bone secretes into the blood will go to the brain first. However, this news report points to a couple of articles that show that bone appears to talk with fat cells and with the pancreas to coordinate metabolism with bone growth. Taste buds are the brain's way to detect the chemistry of the food going into the body, providing information to the brain that can be used to alter the pancreatic responses to the bone-fat conversation.
There is strong evidence (Bradbury 2004) to suggest that sweet receptors tell the brain of the easily digestible carbohydrate level of the food. Due to the nature of sour receptors, the body can only tell the brain about the acidity of the food when ions like chlorine and bromine are present. Salt receptors tell us the presence of different kinds of salts, no doubt the ratio of two chemical elements, chlorine to a basic ion, such as sodium, magnesium or calcium, since the ratio is more important to the brain than the fact that a salt is present.
Bitter receptors tell us what is possibly poisonous to us and, more specifically, if there is too much of one of 3 chemical elements (arsenic, manganese, potassium) or several amino acids that give that bitter taste to our food: . We obviously need manganese and potassium, but not in extremely high amounts. Bananas have a lot of sugar in them, but plantains do not. Both have lots of potassium, but plantains can be obviously bitter in taste. However, bananas can have a slightly bitter aftertaste attributable to the potassium. Both chocolate and coffee can be bitter, due to the high amounts of manganese in them.
Arsenic is clearly poisonous to us but, like potassium, must be present in fairly high amounts to kill us. Because of this property, it is the poison of choice for those who want to hide the fact they are poisoning a person. However, arsenic at any dose does harm us. It can accumulate in certain tissues of the body. It interferes with the activity of boron everywhere it is found. Boron is a chemical element necessary for connective tissue repair and maintenance, especially that of the heart. The heart has the greatest need for constant repair and maintenance when compared with tendons, ligaments, bone, and other collagenous tissues of the body. Thus, arsenic poisoning is often found when there are unexplained heart problems. A patient practicing mindfulness techniques would probably become aware of connective tissue failures that would raise an alarm to check for arsenic long before cardiac issues arise.
Finally, umami receptors tell us protein content of our food, because they sense the presence of amino acids. We can conclude from these observations that taste receptors perform a fairly complex role in telling the brain about the content of our food.
"Genetics" vs "Hardwired"
So what does "hardwired" mean? To many people, the word "genetics" comes to mind, but we do not have to invoke that hand-waving term to understand how preference for sugar is so engrained in us at an early age. Brain circuits using the information from taste buds can be an almost inevitable outcome of simple developmental programs that depend upon environmental input to be written into our brains, an environment that is so carefully controlled in mammals that development in us becomes predictably consistent among babies. The only clear differences that most would agree are obviously non-genetically caused are the developmental defects that appear because of a known toxin, such as cocaine. However, even so-called genetic defects may be caused by toxins that were not caught by doctors.
Because some toxins are mutagenic, their effect may even be seen in families without being passed down from generation to generation. How? Most Americans tend to live near their relatives, not moving far from the place of birth. Genetic population analysis shows this to be the case. We do not see the other extreme. I know of no family where both parents raise their kids in one house, and then both parents drive to another house that is in a very different neighborhood to sleep at night. Divorce generally moves only one parent away from the kids. A very important control in this "genetic experiment", therefore, is lacking. We have to realize that conclusions about genetic background remain very questionable, except for the most extreme examples.
So what appears to be "hard-wired" is probably mostly due to the programs that get put into place in the developing nervous tissue to deal with the changing internal environment of the developing embryo. One of the developmental programs for handling taste involves the wiring of cranial nerve X to innervate taste buds in the back of the tongue in the infant, through adolescence, adding a third cranial nerve that handles taste at these ages, but which is lost eventually, leaving only two cranial nerves handling taste in the adult.
What is more important for this report is the likelihood that the brain, and not the tongue is more important for this amplified sugar preference. There is a gustatory center in the anterior medulla that amplifies the information coming in from cranial nerves VII and IX from the tongue carrying sweet taste that is most active in the infant and which doesn't lose its ability to amplify the sweet taste in the brain until puberty in the adult. Given the nature of brain activity, it is more likely to be timing signals sent from the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus and not reproductive hormone levels that trigger the end of this amplification by the gustatory center, since hormone levels at puberty are so unpredictable at that time.
Cause of Change in Sweetness Preferences
This news report asks about the primacy of certain signals for sugar preferences: puberty hormones or growth/metabolism. We know that testosterone causes epiphyses to seal at the ends of long bones, causing bone growth in length to end, and both sexes have increases in testosterone produced at puberty. One important aspect of hormone physiology is that the amount of the hormone change is not nearly as important as the fact that hormone levels do change at all, since exact levels can be maintained so easily through simple feedback mechanisms. So, we can see that a drop in progesterone (some think LH) level can induce menstruation, and any increase in testosterone can induce epiphyses to seal. Not directly measured in this report is the response in bone to increases in testosterone (because its effects are more difficult to measure in bone), but rather a more distant measure of bone turnover rate which correlates with changes in height. It can be readily seen to change with the cessation of increases in bone length.
This news report raises doubts that the obesity problem in our children can be easily managed managing motivation, like teaching our children to choose more healthy alternatives and to avoid the high sugar content of less healthy foods. They aren't going to choose less sugar if high amounts are available. Motivation will always be slanted toward getting more sugar, not less, and will not change until puberty. The research discussed in this report clearly shows that something about changes in bone growth and metabolism is more important than some of the effects of puberty hormones for determining the change in sugar preference in children. In other words, as long as kids are growing, they will want sugar at the highest concentration they can get, regardless of when puberty starts.

Not only does she have a huge fan following in India, Deepika Padukone has made a name for herself on the global map too — after making her Hollywood debut in xXx: Return of Xander Cage opposite Vin Diesel. The actress made her first red carpet appearance at MTV EMA 2016 and also made a splash in her yellow off-shoulder gown at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Padukone, who was also spotted at the New York Fashion Week, has been slaying with her sartorial choices.
ALSO READ | Deepika Padukone is a stunner and these two looks are proof enough
The 31-year-old made hearts skip a beat recently when she donned a denim dress and flaunted her perfectly toned legs. We love that Padukone chose a dress that perfectly resonates with the trends of spring-summer 2017. Designed by Dionne Campbell-Young, the one-shoulder dress had a denim belt neatly tied at the waistline. And if that wasn't enough, the 'Padmavati' actress wore a colourful pair of heels by Dolce and Gabbana, which we totally adore.
Check out her look here:
The bell sleeves in this dress looked like a rage. Long, oversized, sleeves with slits are making waves this season and Padukone rocked it like no one else.
The actress complemented her style with natural touch up and hair neatly parted at the centre. Her dimples were like a cherry to the cake for the fashion statement!
We love this carefree look, don't you?
Earlier, Padukone was seen dressed in red from head-to-toe. Stylist Shaleena Nathani dressed her up in a midi-dress from Jonathan Simkhai, which she matched with a pair of red shoes from Christian Louboutin. She complemented the look with soft curls at the end and really minimal make-up, just enough to highlight her features. We think she looked good.
See what she wore here:
Prior to this, she was seen in a completely different avatar while attending Shahid Kapoor's birthday bash. Padukone, who looks like a staunch supporter of the metallic trend, was once again doing justice to a shimmery high-waisted ruffle pants from Phillip Lim, which she paired with a basic black tank top from H&M. Make-up expert Daniel Bauer rounded off the look with soft smokey brown eyes, a flush of pink on the cheeks, light brown lips and a neat ponytail.
Check out her look here:
We still can't stop drooling over the denim dress. What about you?

We all know the score – you try and say something helpful to someone when they are going through a rough patch and inadvertently end up saying completely the wrong thing. The same goes when you have MS.
The people that you love around you are often scrambling to say something to say that will make you feel better, and more often than not you think that they choose the wrong words. I find that no matter what someone says to me sometimes, it will never be the 'right' thing because there is no 'right' thing to say. Sometimes it can feel as though they are uncaring, unloving or not at all understanding of your feelings and needs.
With my family and friends I always try and remember the times when I have tried to make someone feel better and ended up saying something that was unintentionally annoying or hurtful so that it doesn't bother me so much if they make that mistake.
That being said, I thought I would round up the top 10 seemingly innocent things (in my opinion) never to say to someone with MS. These are some of my personal bug bears – I thought it would be good to get these out there so none MSers can read what it's like from the other side, and MSers can recognise that your loved ones probably don't mean to offend.
NB: This post also isn't meant to be a rant at people who don't have MS – it is more an appreciation of how things can come across to someone who does have MS. I have also included some personal suggestions of what I would rather hear as an alternative 🙂
I'd love to hear your thoughts on these (and if you have any more to share).
You don't look sick/disabled
Whenever I tell people that I have MS, one of the responses is that 'you don't look sick'. I guess this is a little annoying because you cannot always tell how someone feels just by how they look. MS can be (for the most part) and invisible illness and so someone can be really struggling but managing to hold it together to put on a good front. I think if someone came up to me and paid me a compliment instead, or just asked how I was, I would much prefer that.
You are so brave
I am not overly fond of being called brave just for living my life, even if I do have some additional challenges to face due to having MS. I can completely understand why this is meant to be a compliment (perhaps they mean strong willed/independent/tenacious), but I am not sure I personally like the idea of being brave for just living my life. Someone commented to me that I was brave for retraining and carrying on working despite having MS – I find this a little bit patronising. I know they mean well, but what else am I meant to do?
In my opinion, rather than people telling me I am brave, I would rather hear 'you showed real resilience dealing with x and y' or 'how do you stay strong minded with the ups and downs of MS?'
I feel bad for you
When I was first diagnosed with MS this was a phrase that I heard all of the time. I know that it came from a place of love, but actually it was really painful to hear people say that they felt bad for me. I think that my main issue with someone saying that they feel bad for me is that they are admitting that I am in a place that they are glad they aren't in, and it sounds like an assumption that my life is worse than theirs. Perhaps with this one if people empathised instead and said things such as 'I am here for you', or 'I understand', or 'I feel for you'…
You are too young to have MS & MS is easier on the young
I tell you what – NO I am not too young to have MS! Looking at the number of friends that I have that are around my age or younger and they have the disease, I am not the exception to the rule! MS is not any easier for the young, and it is not likely to get any better. Although there are better drugs coming out all of the time, and my disease may not progress in the same way as if I had been diagnosed 20 years ago, I am still in the prime of my life and living with some pretty eyebrow raising neurological symptoms. Put it this way – I did not expect to be dealing with bladder issues and mobility problems at my age. I think having to come to terms with a serious life long condition and managing a medley of monthly hospital appointments is really overwhelming at times – I do not think it is any easier for a young person.
I think in this circumstance, I would rather that someone asked me more about my MS and the typical age that it affects rather than assuming that they know already. I am always more than happy to have a chat about it.
I am tired too
This is a classic phrase that I am sure that we all hear all of the time but highlights how people are not aware of the difference between tiredness and fatigue. I have tried to describe fatigue to people as the combination of jet lag and the flu – leaving you absolutely dead on your feet, or walking through a muddy bog wearing flippers. Fatigue can come on incredibly quickly and no amount of sleep will necessarily help. Doing even the smallest tasks such as brushing your teeth or eating a meal can feel like a mammoth task. I just say to people that I am tired now (or don't say anything at all because there isn't any next best thing to compare it to).
I think the hardest thing to explain is when I wake up in the morning, get out of bed and I feel like I haven't even slept a wink. Or when it hits like a ton of bricks half way through a meeting, or just as you are about to set out to meet a friend.
You are so lucky to be able to park in the disabled bays
No. No. No I am not. I tell you what, I will swap being able to park there for not having MS?
I think that I would rather hear someone say something like 'I am really pleased you have been able to access the support you need to make your life easier' or 'I am really glad that things have been put in place to mean you can maintain your independence'
Why don't you get stem cell therapy?
About a year ago or so there was a documentary on the TV about Stem Cell Therapies and the aftermath of that documentary was a nightmare! The number of texts, emails, print outs, calls, conversations in the street… people were asking me left, right and centre about when I was going to go for stem cell therapy. Well firstly, it's a trial at the moment and so it isn't widely available and secondly I am not eligible for it because my current medication works really well for me.
Although I know that everyone was just trying to be really helpful and supportive but it can be incredibly overwhelming when everyone is telling you about the next 'new' treatment assuming that you won't know about it already. I think I would rather people asked 'I read about X treatment. How do you feel about it?' or 'what is your treatment – can we talk about it?'
You've improved – maybe they got it wrong!
Well wouldn't that be lovely. This is a thought that I had myself immediately after my disease modifying drugs started to become more effective. I was lulled into the false sense of security that they had misdiagnosed me and I didn't have MS at all. That was until I had another relapse and new symptoms appeared. Now I have so many residual symptoms on a daily basis that I know that MS is my forever friend. Thing is that RRMS changes from year to year, week to week and day to day. Hell – I change from minute to minute on a bad day. I can feel amazing one week and then can barely string a sentence together the next. The bonus of the medication that I am on is that I am having an 'MS holiday' – so the majority of my most severe symptoms are being held off and my relapses are not having the same impact on me as they used to. BUT the remitting part does not mean cure or that I was incorrectly diagnosed. Yes MS is still here, and yes it is here to stay!
I think I would rather someone said to me 'You look like you are coping better these days – do you feel it?' or 'how are your symptoms these days?'
You are lazy
Although I have heard this anecdotally from other MSers, my personal account of this comes from a conversation that I had with someone who asked how I did my shopping and I said that I ordered the groceries online and got them delivered to the house. This was swiftly followed by a snort of derision and a comment that I was 'lazy' and should go out and shop around. Usually I wouldn't rise to the bait but on this occasion I could not resist and replied 'I would love to go to the supermarket for a big shop and be able to shop around, but I have multiple sclerosis'
I did feel really guilty for making that person feel uncomfortable but actually there are lots of things that I would love to do or that I am able to do but find really challenging, that other people take for granted.
A lot of people with MS get called lazy because they have had to reduce their activity or change the way they do something due to pain or mobility issues. I think we would all rather be asked 'how can I help you do X and Y?' or to have a buddy to go out and about with for MS friendly exercises.
I know how you feel
Sometimes you might – but sometimes you really couldn't even imagine. Unless you have MS, or a chronic illness with similar symptoms, it would be impossible to begin to understand. I know that people mean well when they say this and so I have left this one until the end… I would rather someone said 'How do you feel?' or 'I cannot imagine how that feels'
That's my top ten done with. I hope you enjoyed reading these. Let me know in the comments

94/100 Punkte Guia Penin 2020
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker August 2018The exceptional NV Adorado is a product of the past, as it's a wine that is said not to have been touched since 1967. It's a blend of the three classical grapes from Rueda#Verdejo, Palomino and Viura. There is more volatility, more intensity and pungency here, but also more finesse and depth and even more elegance. It matured in a solera system for a very long time, and initially, it must have been aged under flor yeasts. It's 16% alcohol but was originally fortified to 17%, and it's very dry and tasty. There are some 2,000 bottles of this, apparently only magnums. Wines like this are almost eternal.
93/100 Punkte James Suckling July 2019A solera that delivers such complex and richly nutty, leathery aromas leading to a dry, minerally palate that has a very rich, layered and crisp, salty build to the finish. Drink now.
93/100 Punkte Guia Penin 2020
91/100 Punkte Robert Parker Dec 2019The second wine in the price hierarchy is the 2017 Almirez, produced with vines aged 10 to 35 years old from their 72 hectares of vineyards in the villages of Valdefinjas and Toro. It fermented in stainless steel and matured in French oak barrels, 30% of them new, the rest second use, for 14 months. 2017 is one of the driest years with one of the earliest harvests ever, but surprisingly enough, the wines feel lighter, fresh and aromatic, expressive and open and do not show any heat. Furthermore, it feels like a fresher year in the sense that the wine integrates the oak quite well. The change here, as Marcos Eguren explained, has been in the toast of the barrels, something they started in 2015; they have lighter toasts, from a long and slow toasting of the oak, and the barrel respects the fruit a lot more. Fine-tuning continues...
93/100 Punkte James Suckling July 2019This has a deep and dark center palate of ripe yet fresh fruit and lots of spices and smoked meat. Medium to full body. Polished and chewy tannins. Yet focused and vivid. Needs two or three years of bottle age. But all there. Try after 2021.
92/100 Punkte Guía Peñín 2013Color cereza, borde granate. Aroma especiado, roble cremoso, tostado, fruta madura. Boca potente, sabroso, tostado, taninos maduros.
91/100 Punkte Stephen Tanzer, Sep 2012Glass-staining ruby. Sexy, oak-spiced aromas of dark berry compote, cola and violet, with subtle vanilla and underbrush nuances. Broad and sweet on the palate, offering ripe blackberry and cherry-vanilla flavors and slow-mounting smokiness. The floral note comes back on the finish, which clings with impressive tenacity and focus. Shows good energy for a ripe vintage.
92/100 Punkte Wine Spectator, November 30, 2017Firm and balanced, this red has a sleek texture, with restrained but harmonious flavors of black cherry, licorice, mineral and smoke. Well-integrated tannins impart backbone, while balsamic acidity keeps this fresh. Drink now through 2025.
92/100 Punkte James Suckling, July 2017Lots of blackberries and blueberries and mineral undertones. Some touches of grape skin. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and flavorful finish. Needs a year or two to soften. Drink in 2019.
93/100 Punkte Falstaff Mai 2018Altersgerecht verschlossene Frucht, Kirsche, passend (dezent) holzbeeinflusst, weicher Auftakt, mollige Gaumenmitte mit viskos eingebetetem, kräftigem Tannin, Kalk-mineralisch, kompletter und ganz und gar ungekünstelter Wein mit ausgezeichneter Entwicklungsperspektive.
92/100 Punkte Guía Peñín 2018
92/100 Punkte Guia Penin 2020
92/100 Punkte James Suckling, August 2018Plenty of blueberry and plum-cake character. Ripe and generous with full, but quite supple tannins for a young Ribera del Duero red. Keeps pumping out the ripe flavors on the fresh and intense finish. Drink or hold.
91/100 Punkte Guia Penin 2020
93/100 Punkte Robert Parker Dec 2019The second vintage of the top-of-the-range single-vineyard Tempranillo is the 2015 Horcajo, which reached 15% alcohol in a warm and dry year like 2015. It went through malolactic in barrique and matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. This is the most powerful and concentrated of their wines; it's quite dark and has aromas of dark fruit, roasted coffee and toast with an earthy touch and a hint of smoke. The palate is full bodied, round and lush, with decadent flavors, baroque, with lush fruit and generous oak in a very showy style.

Do you feel smart about furniture shopping? Because of all the different companies that sell furniture, along with all the different pieces, prices, and brands, it can be difficult to know how to proceed. People buy the first thing they see out of frustration. Read on if you want to avoid being like this.
When considering a new sofa, always make sure that it is both comfortable and sturdy. Look for a couch with springs that support the cushions. Serpentine springs are acceptable but eight-way, hand-tied springs are better. Feel the springs through the upholstery to test them out. Good springs are always firm and are also close together.
Furniture is something that can cost you quite a bit. If you find it to pricey, consider used furniture. Ads in the local paper as well as yard sales and thrift stores can often have some great furniture. You can have the furniture reupholstered if necessary. This can save you a lot of money.
Take color into consideration prior to buying furniture. If you buy bright colors, it may be hard to match later. Make sure that your larger furniture items are neutral colors. You can use smaller, less expensive pieces to add color or personality.
Don't be afraid to haggle when purchasing furniture. Many furniture stores significantly mark up their prices, and will often be willing to cut the price by 20% or more with some negotiation. This allows you room to negotiate with the salesperson.
It's always a good idea to stop by the clearance area at bigger chain stores when you want to pick up furniture at a discount. A lot of retailers are frequently stuck with more furniture stock than they need, and they'll display it prominently to get it sold as quickly as possible. You can find excellent discontinued and overstocked items for much less in retail clearance departments.
When buying new furniture, check the legs before buying. You're looking for legs that are attached to the frame and sturdy. Also consider the materials. Rubber and metal can scratch your floors, so wood is a better option. If they're only nailed on, they will fail.
If your sofa will be patterned, make sure that it aligns well. Poorly aligned fabric is the mark of something that is not well made. An expensive couch or chair should always have an aligned pattern. Don't hesitate to move on if you find tailoring errors on a pricey sofa.
Make sure you plan a specific budget before you go furniture shopping. Furniture pieces that are physically similar can have seriously different prices. You may end up making costly mistakes if you don't set a budget and a list of what you plan to buy. By having a set budget in place, you can avoid overspending so that your finances are kept under control.
You likely feel a new sense of confidence due to having read this article on furniture shopping. Now, maybe you will find the furniture you want at a price you can afford. These tips will provide you with the knowledge on how to get great deals.

This is what a broom tied to a mast means in the U.S. Navy
When the USS Wahoo sailed into Pear Harbor on Feb. 7, 1943, she had an odd ornament on her periscope: a common broom. But that broom was one of the most impressive symbols a crew could aspire to earn because it symbolized that the boat had destroyed an entire enemy convoy, sweeping it from the seas.
Historians aren't certain where the tradition originated, but the story cited most often was that a Dutch admiral in the 1650s began the practice after sweeping the British from the seas at the Battle of Dungeness.
(Video: YouTube/Smithsonian Channel)
Flush with torpedoes and no other threats in sight, the Wahoo decided to engage. It fired a spread of three torpedoes but had underestimated the destroyer's speed. The Wahoo fired another torpedo with the speed taken into account, but the destroyer turned out of the weapon's path.
And then it bore down on the Wahoo, seeking to destroy the American sub. The crew played a high-stakes game of chicken by holding the sub in position. When the destroyer reached 1,200 yards, the crew fired the fifth torpedo, which the destroyer again avoided.

At 800 yards they fired their sixth and last forward torpedo, barely enough range for the torpedo to arm. The risk of failure was so great that Lt. Cmdr. Dudley Morton ordered a crash dive immediately after firing, putting as much water in the way of enemy depth charges as possible.
But the last torpedo swam true and hit the Japanese ship in the middle, breaking its keel and causing its boilers to burst.
The next day, Jan. 25, was relatively uneventful, but Jan. 26 would be the Wahoo's date with destiny. Just over an hour after sunrise, the third officer spotted smoke over the horizon and Morton ordered an intercept course.
They found a four-ship convoy consisting of a tanker, a troop transport, and two freighters. All four were valuable targets, but sinking the troop transport could save thousands of lives and sinking tankers would slow the Japanese war machine by starving ships of fuel.
The USS Wahoo was one of the most successful and famous submarines in World War II, but it wouldn't survive the war. (Photo: Public Domain)
There was no escort, but the Wahoo still had to watch for enemy deck guns and ramming maneuvers. The sub fired a four-torpedo spread at the two freighters, scoring three hits. The first target sank and the second was wounded. Wahoo then turned its attention to the tanker and the troop transport.
The troop transport attempted a ram, sailing straight at the Wahoo. Morton ordered a risky gambit, firing a torpedo at the transport after it drew close rather than taking evasive actions.
After the torpedo was launched, the transport took its own evasive action and abandoned its ramming maneuver. In doing so, the transport presented the sub with its broad sides, a prime target.

The Wahoo fired two more torpedoes and dove to avoid another attack. It was still diving when both torpedoes struck home. Eight minutes later, the Wahoo surfaced and saw that the transport was dead in the water. It fired a torpedo that failed to detonate and then a carefully aimed final shot that triggered a massive explosion and doomed the Japanese vessel.
As the tanker and the damaged freighter attempted to escape, Morton gave the controversial order to sink all manned boats launched from the dying transport. His rationale was that a manned, seaworthy vessel was a legal target and any survivors of the battle would go on to kill American soldiers and Marines during land battles.
A few hours later, the Wahoo was able to find and re-engage the two survivors of her earlier action. The tanker and the wounded freighter had steamed north but couldn't move fast enough to escape the American sub.
The Wahoo waited for nightfall and then fired two torpedoes at the undamaged tanker. One hit, but the ship was still able to sail quickly. With only four torpedoes left and the Japanese ships taking evasive action, Wahoo waited and studied their movements.

When certain they could predict the Japanese ships, the crew attacked again. The first pair of torpedoes were fired at the tanker just after it turned. One of them slammed into its middle, breaking the keel and quickly sending it to the depths.
The crippled freighter was firing what weapons it had at the sub and almost hit it with a shell, forcing it to dive. Then, a searchlight appeared from over the horizon, possibly signaling a Japanese warship that could save the freighter.
The Wahoo carefully lined up its final shot at 2,900 and fired both torpedoes at once with no spread, a sort of final Hail-Mary to try and sink the freighter before it could find safety with the warship.
The final pair of torpedoes both hit, their warheads tearing open the freighter and quickly sinking it before the Japanese ship, which turned out to be a destroyer, cleared the horizon.
The USS Wahoo claimed eight sinkings and a "clean sweep" after the ship's third patrol. (Photo: U.S. Navy)
The American crew escaped and continued their patrol, attempting to attack another convoy with just their deck guns on Jan. 27 and mapping a Japanese explosives facility on Jan. 28 before returning to Pearl Harbor with the triumphant broom flying high on Feb. 7.
Other ships have used brooms to symbolize great success, such as in 2003 when the USS Cheyenne flew one to celebrate that every Tomahawk it launched in Operation Iraqi Freedom landing on target with zero duds or failures.

PM Orbán: EP Election Outcome Could Banish 1968 Generation
- 30 Jul 2018 8:16 AM
- Hungary Matters
Instead of the 1968 generation, the time has come for the anti-communist, Christian, nationally committed generation of 1990, he insisted.
Meanwhile, Orbán said the EU was currently pursuing a primitive policy towards Russia and "a nuanced policy is needed instead". The security of Hungary and the whole of the Carpathian Basin, as well as that of Europe, depends on whether Turkey, Israel and Egypt are stable enough to stop the influx of Muslims, he added.
Orbán set out five principles that were necessary for central Europe to occupy a "worthy place" in Europe. Every European country has the right to protect its Christian culture and to reject "the ideology of multiculturalism".
Also, the traditional family model and the principle that "every child has the right to a mother and a father" must be upheld. Further, central European countries have the right to protect their nationally strategic sectors and markets. Countries also have a fundamental right to defend their borders and to reject immigration, he said.
The principle of "one nation, one vote" on the most important issues should be insisted upon, he said, adding that this principle cannot be bypassed in the EU. "We central Europeans hold that there is life beyond globalisation and that central Europe follows the path of an alliance of free nations," the prime minister said.
Orbán declared that immigration would be the single serious issue in next year's European parliamentary elections. He linked the outcome of the EP elections to the fate of its leadership, saying that when European citizens decide on the issue of immigration, they will have also passed judgement on the European elite and whether it has handled immigration properly.
"There is liberalism but there is no democracy," he said, adding that this assertion was supported by a general tendency in western Europe to curb freedom of expression and introduce censorship.
The prime minister said that after eight successive years of a Fidesz government, in the April general election it received a two-thirds majority and with it "authorisation to build a new era".
The process of Hungarian unification has now turned into one of nation-building, he added. Hungarians have shown they are able to understand complex situations, he said. "If need be, we have the will to decide on our destiny and move as a nation."
"From Szeklerland, I can say that Hungarians from beyond the border have stood up for Hungarians of the motherland," he said, adding that every vote was an undertaking of responsibility for Hungary.
He said Fidesz's two-thirds majority won in 2010 had entitled the government to build a new system with a Hungarian model for the economy and a new constitutional order based on national and Christian foundations. In 2014, it was similarly endorsed to stabilise this system, he added.
Following the outcome of this year's election, Orbán said it was time to build a new era and to embed the political system into this new cultural era. "A new intellectual and cultural approach is needed," he said. Based on this stability, the government has set goals that could only have been dreamed of in the past, Orbán said.
He declared that by 2030 Hungary would be among the top five countries in the EU for quality of life. Further, it will have stopped its declining population, he said. Motorways will have reached all its borders and it will have created energy independence, he continued.
"Thirty years ago, we thought that Europe was our future; we now think we are the future of Europe," the prime minister said, concluding his speech.

With so much uncertainty due to Covid-19, Jacaranda has decided to move up the renovation of the West Golf Course and complete the project during 2020 as opposed to next summer. We will begin reconstructing the bunkers and resurfacing the greens early next month and we expect this to be a 5 month project. The East Course renovation is underway and our goal is to open the East in early October and the West in early December (weather permitting). That means we will have TWO beautifully renovated golf courses as we head into 2021.
We plan to remain open during the project with some play on the West Course until both nines close and we also intend to utilize temporary greens on the East Golf Course. Conditions will not be up to the standard you've become accustomed to at Jacaranda, but this will provide you an option if you decide you still want to play at the Club. Please call the Pro Shop for more details on tee times (954) 472-5836 and which holes are available for play.
The Driving Range and Food & Beverage Operations will remain OPEN for business.
We plan to keep everyone updated with our progress through social media posts and stories and hope that everyone is as excited as we are to see the final product. We sincerely appreciate your support of Jacaranda over the years and we look forward to seeing you all again very soon.

We're just one month into the New Year. If you've already broken some (or all) of your New Year's resolutions, don't despair. Most people do! In fact, statistics say 80 % of all people break their New Year's resolutions by January 20. If you're still going to the gym everyday, watching what you eat, or sticking to your budget, you're ahead of the curve.
It's never too late, though, to start improving your credit. To give you that extra boost of motivation – to help you stick to your resolution or simply turn over a new credit leaf – we offer some of our best credit tips.
It's true that lenders have gotten even more strict in regard to giving out credit, minimum payments have risen, and so have interest rates (on credit cards – not so for savings accounts). Even with this bleak financial picture, the basics of smart money management remain the same. Consider these tips a reminder – or a jumpstart to make 2010 the year you achieve financial independence with no debt.
This is the most significant factor in your credit history, making up 35 percent of your total FICO score, the score that tells lenders whether you are a good credit risk or not. Late payments that are under 30 days late may not be reported to the credit bureaus, but this is at the discretion of the lender. It's better not to take chances. Just one late payment can reduce your credit score by as much as 50 points, and it can take 6 to 12 months of on-time payments to bring it back up.
It sounds obvious, but good things happen when you pay down your revolving debt. First, you'll save money on finance charges. Your minimum payment will go down, leaving you with more cash in your pocket. Most importantly, the lower your debt to available credit ratio, the higher your credit score.
This factor accounts for 30 % of your credit score, so it's important to pay your credit cards on time, and work on getting the balances as close to zero as possible.
We have a bunch of credit card reviews that make it easy to find a 0% APR credit card if you have good to excellent credit. Have a credit card balance that just won't go away? Consider transferring the balance to a 0% APR card, and watch the debt drop dramatically with each payment.
The key, of course, is to stop using your old, higher interest card. Don't close it out; that will negatively impact your credit score. Cut it up if you must, or freeze it in a block of ice. Just don't use it to rack up more debt.
Can't get a lower interest card? Use a website like Mint.com to track all your credit card debt. Make a plan to pay off the highest interest credit card first. Put as much money as you can toward that card each month, while still making on-time minimum payments on your other card. When you've paid off your highest-interest card, move on to the next card. This is called the "snowball plan" to reduce debt – and it works. Watching balances drop rapidly provides incentive to keep going.
Make a plan right now to contact your credit card companies and request a lower interest rate. Many times, they will oblige for customers with a good credit history who have made their payments on time. I recently got my interest rate on one card reduced significantly when I agreed to sign up for automatic bill pay.

Install the Bluemix Container Service command line utilities
- Download and install the latest Bluemix CLI. (Check out the official documentation here.)
- Login to Bluemix using the command.
bx login
- Install the Container Service plugin.
bx plugin install container-service -r Bluemix
- Verify that you have the container-service plugin installed.
bluemix plugin list
- Initialize the Container Service Plugin.
bx cs init
- Install the latest Kubernetes command line.
Create a cluster
A Kubernetes pod refers to one or more containers. These pods run on clusters. For this example we will provision a cluster in Bluemix's free tier.
- Run the following command to create your cluster. (For this recipe we chose the name Kate which will be used later on in the recipe when configuring the pipeline.)
bx cs cluster-create --name Kate
- The command will return:
- Use
bx cs clustersto see the defined clusters.
Once the cluster reaches the deployed state you can provision pods, but they will be enqueued until the cluster's pods are finished provisioning. Note that it takes approximately 15 minutes for the cluster to be fully provisioned and ready to accept the sample pods.
Name ID State Created Workers
Kate d20f6c096ce6483ab3f65556d3db41b7 deployed 2017-03-16T17:17:39+0000 1
- Use
bx cs workers Kateto see the provisioned workers.
- Set the Kubernetes environment to work with your cluster once your cluster is deployed.
- Run
bx cs cluster-config Kateto generate your environment configuration as below:
Downloading cluster config for Kate
The configuration for Kate was downloaded successfully. Export environment variables to start using Kubernetes.
export KUBECONFIG=/home/rak/.bluemix/plugins/container-service/clusters/Kate/kube-config-prod-dal10-Kate.yml
- Set the KUBECONFIG environment variable by copying and pasting the last output line.
- Run
Note this step creates a free cluster with a single worker. Create a Softlayer account if you want to create large, multi-worker clusters.
- Run the following command to create your cluster. (For this recipe we chose the name Kate which will be used later on in the recipe when configuring the pipeline.)
Create a Watson Conversation Service Instance
- Create the Watson Conversation service.
bx service create conversation free conversation-service-car
- Verify that the service instance is created.
bx service list
- Obtain the ID of your cluster.
bx cs clusters
- Bind the service instance to your cluster.
bx cs cluster-service-bind <cluster-ID> default conversation-service-car
- Create the Watson Conversation service.
Look Under the Hood
Skip this step and come back later if you want to get the application up as quickly as possible.
Now that you have created and bound a service instance to your cluster, lets take a deeper look at what is happening behind the scenes.
- Binding the
conversation-service-carservice to your cluster creates a Kubernets secret named
- The secret contains a key named binding with its data being a JSON string of the form
- The secret is mapped into the container as the environment variable CONVERSATION_SERVICE_CAR through the Kubernetes pod configuration.
- name: CONVERSATION_SERVICE_CAR
name: binding-conversation-service-car
key: binding
- The watson-conversation-simple sample expects the service credentials to be set in the environment variables CONVERSATION_USERNAME and CONVERSATION_PASSWORD.
- We set these in the container enviroment using the run-server.sh script when the container is started. In this sample we parse them from the CONVERSATION_SERVICE_CAR environment variable using the jq utility:
export CONVERSATION_USERNAME=$(echo "$CONVERSATION_SERVICE_CAR" | jq -r '.username')
- You can see the defined secrets in the Kubernetes dashboard by running
kubctrl proxyand accessing http://127.0.0.1:8001/ui
- Binding the
Train Watson
The Watson Conversation service stores its training data in workspaces. In this step, you will import the training data provided by the watson-developer-cloud/conversation-simple sample workspace.
- Download the workspace definition locally.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/watson-developer-cloud/conversation-simple/master/training/car_workspace.json >/tmp/car_workspace.json
- In your browser, navigate to your Bluemix console.
- From the All Items tab, click the newly created Conversation service in the Services list.
- On the Service Details page, click Launch tool.
- Click the Import workspace icon in the Conversation service tool. Choose the file
/tmp/car_workspace.jsonyou downloaded in step 4.1.
- Select Everything (Intents, Entities, and Dialog) and then click Import. The car dashboard workspace is created.
- Go Back to workspaces using the menu at the top of the page.
- Choose View Details from the Car_Dashboard_Current workspace overflow menu.
- Copy the Workspace ID to your clipboard.
- Download the workspace definition locally.
Create a Kubernetes Configuration Map with the Workspace ID
- Create a Kubernetes configuration map.
kubectl create configmap car-dashboard-config --from-literal=workspace_id=<WorkSpace ID from step 4.8>
- Verify the configuration is set.
kubectl get configmaps car-dashboard-config -o yaml
- Create a Kubernetes configuration map.
Deploy the Pod and Check Out the Watson Conversation Sample
The pod you will deploy in this step contains the watson-developer-cloud/conversation-simple sample. The IBMCloudDevOps/watson-conversation-simple-kube repository repository contains the Dockerfile and other support files for building the image, as well as the Kubernetes configuration file.
- Clone the IBMCloudDevOps/watson-conversation-simple-kube repository.
git clone https://github.com/IBMCloudDevOps/watson-conversation-simple-kube.git
- Change to the project directory and deploy the pod.
cd watson-conversation-simple-kube
kubectl create -f car-dashboard-pod.yml
- Identify the Public IP address of your worker.
bx cs workers Kate
- Identify the external port your pod is listening on. Note: The bot-son container listens on port 3000. Kubernetes maps this a publically addressable port.
kubectl get services bot-son
- Access the Watson Conversation sample using http://<IP Address>:<Port>
- Clone the IBMCloudDevOps/watson-conversation-simple-kube repository.
Closing Thoughts
The new Bluemix Container Service allows you to access an extensive services library from a scalable Kubernetes environment you can rely on. Now you know the secret too.

Press [REC] And Scream!
One of the hottest genre movies to screen at Toronto this month wasn't a movie on the official schedule, but a special advance screening of the upcoming Spanish horror film [REC] (yes, the brackets are part of the title). The buzz was good and the audience was reportedly freaked out.
Directed by Spanish horror vets Juame Balaguro (The Nameless, Darkness) and Paco Plaza, [REC] is another in the burgeoning genre of POV zombie movies (not unlike Diary of the Dead), although this one is about a contamination in an apartment building. As far as we know there's no U.S. distributor or release scheduled, but we've got a teaser trailer to help wet our whistle on what promises to be a great ride. Is this going to be the most talked-about horror film of 2008? We don't know, but it sure looks good.Read More

Nominations for the 2016 Emmys have been revealed.
Joined by Bruce Rosenblum, chairman and CEO of the Television Academy, black-ish's Anthony Anderson and Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life's Lauren Graham announced nominees for the 68th Primetime Emmy Awards during a live broadcast Thursday. The event took place at the Wolf Theater, located inside the Saban Media Center in North Hollywood.
Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the ceremony in 2012, will return for another round. "I am excited to be hosting the Emmys again," he said in a statement. "I have a feeling I'm going to be great."
When Kimmel booked the gig in March, Channing Dungey, president of ABC Entertainment, called the TV host "the consummate showman," telling E! News, "With Kimmel at the helm, expect to be at the edge of your seat for a bigger, bolder and better-than-ever Emmy event."
Kimmel follows Andy Samberg (2015), Seth Meyers (2014) and Neil Patrick Harris (2013).
The Emmys will air live from L.A.'s Microsoft Theater on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. ET on ABC.

It must enjoy the protection of the constitution, so that it can protect our rights as citizens."

A common hobby that many people have is photography. Photography lets people express their creative genius by using cameras to capture moments on film. For photographers, their hobby is not a simple point and click job, as they take into consideration different lighting effects and focus techniques. This article will give you information on photography.
Try moving in closer to your subject when you're taking pictures. If you take pictures from different distances, you'll be able to get a few different perspectives and some may come out better than others. Try to get where the subject of your photo fills the entire viewfinder of your camera – this will give you a lot more details of the subject rather than just filler details.
A good photography tip is to focus on subjects that interest you. If you find yourself taking pictures of things that don't interest you, it shouldn't come as a surprise when you see that people aren't interested in your photographs. Picking a subject that you're passionate about is very important.
Make sure you have the right lighting before taking a photograph. Lighting is perhaps the most important factor in producing a good black and white photograph, because it affects the texture, contrast and shape of the image. Side lighting can produce some dramatic photographs as it creates shadows and highlights the edges of shapes.
A good photography tip is to realize that you're not always in control. Trying to be in control of everything can be extremely frustrating, especially when there are variables involved that are simply out of your control. Try to just relax and enjoy the act of taking photographs.
Furthermore, photography is a common hobby for many people. They use photography to express their creativity by capturing moments on film with cameras. Photographers take light and focus into account when creating photos, making it more involved than simple picture taking. Use the photography information in this article to your advantage when practicing photography.

STEM Academy 8th Graders to Work with Graphic Designers
by Diana Ganju
Grade 8 Art students have been designing personal symbols as part of their Design unit. Through this project, students have experienced multiple steps in the creative process as they explore many possible solutions to the design problem. As students approach their final designs, they will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with professional graphic designers. Six graphic designers have agreed to volunteer their time to come to the STEM Academy. During their visit, they will show students their symbol design portfolios, share their creative process (including work with clients), and provide positive feedback to students.
We are very excited to have these visitors come and help us connect the work we are doing in the classroom with the professional work of artists and designers. The following designers will be visiting the STEM Academy.
