Blog: Cork it!
Chris Brook-Carter | 12 September 2003
It was when we got onto the subject of technology, and in particular the advances made in wine closures, that I commented how all had seemed quiet on that front in recent months.
So it was inevitable, I suppose, that a report from this year's International Wine Challenge - which is run incidentally by the company I used to work for - on the subject of corks arrived yesterday evening.
Apparently, the panel of expert tasters found that nearly one in 20 (4.9%) of the 11,033 corks pulled from bottles had spoiled or flattened the flavour of the wine they were supposed to protect.
Following this discovery, Wine International magazine, the organisers of the competition, held a comparative tasting of wines sealed with natural corks, synthetic corks, screwcaps and even crown-caps. The result? Screwcaps were preferred in 21 out of 40 cases; corks only won once.
If you have any comments on these results please let us know by emailing email@example.com

Former manager Roberto Martinez and FA Cup final hero Ben Watson were the inspiration behind Wigan Athletic's quarter-final upset win over English Premier League aristocrats Manchester City, victorious manager Uwe Rosler said.
The holders were given little hope of repeating their 1-0 final win over City in May, masterminded by now Everton boss Martinez and sealed with a Watson header in stoppage time which gave them their first major trophy.
But the Championship (second tier) club were not overawed by the task and produced a majestic, fearless display to dispel the doubters with Jordi Gomez's 27th penalty giving them a shock lead before James Perch doubled the advantage minutes into the second half.
Sami Nasri cut the lead with 20 minutes left but Wigan, relegated from the Premier League despite their cup exploits last term, somehow held firm against a barrage of attacks from the home side to set up a last four meeting with Arsenal.
"Drained. Happy," former City striker Rosler told reporters of his feelings after the final whistle.
"I am very happy for my players and staff and for Ben Watson, because he was a big incentive for us to do well for him."
Watson, who missed most of last season through injury before returning to net the Wembley winner against City in May, missed Sunday's memorable away success after suffering a double leg break in last month's league win at Barnsley.
Also proving an outside aide was popular former coach Martinez, whose Everton side were knocked out of the cup on Saturday by Arsenal.
"Last season was an unbelievable achievement from Roberto and his men to win the FA Cup and put Wigan on the map worldwide," said Rosler, who left third tier Brentford to replace Owen Coyle at Wigan in December.
"But to follow that up and reach the semi-final of the FA Cup is equally strong."
Rosler, who has helped steer the club back into promotion contention, said he had watched and learnt from Wigan's loss to City in the Premier League in April, less than a month before the FA Cup final success.
"I studied Roberto's tactics. He put out a very brave gameplan. I saw the league game where City won in the last five minutes 1-0 and Roberto's team played periods to perfection.
"We tried to replicate part of it but bringing our own identity, pressing and counter-attacking.
"I felt in the first half we surprised Manchester City because a lot of teams show Manchester City respect deservedly. Our only chance was to keep the ball in tight areas."
The visitors, though, struggled to keep the …continued »

Hello, I'm Dave. I'm an American who has lived in Germany for more than a decade, where I work for Wiley developing products for scientists. In my spare time I make photographs about the past, and blog about photography and product design.
This is an ongoing project to photograph older cemeteries in Germany.
In Germany, plots are "rented" for a period (usually 25-50 years), and then resold and reused. As a result, most of the graves you see in Germany are relatively recent and well-tended. In a few cemeteries, however, plots have not been reused and the monuments themselves abandoned by long-gone family members.
These photographs aren't intended to be macabre, but rather to remember those who have been forgotten while asking "Who will remember us?"
Product development
I design products for scientific researchers. At Wiley, we combine sophisticated machine learning algorithms, high-quality datasets, and intuitive, easy-to-use interfaces into products that help scientists get more done while unlocking the power of their imaginations.

Maritime Security:
Information-Sharing Efforts Are Improving
GAO-06-933T: Published: Jul 10, 2006. Publicly Released: Jul 10, 2006.
Additional Materials:

Sharing information with nonfederal officials is an important tool in federal efforts to secure the nation's ports against a potential terrorist attack. The Coast Guard has lead responsibility in coordinating maritime information sharing efforts. The Coast Guard has established area maritime security committees--forums that involve federal and nonfederal officials who identify and address risks in a port. The Coast Guard and other agencies have sought to further enhance information sharing and port security operations by establishing interagency operational centers--command centers that tie together the efforts of federal and nonfederal participants. This testimony is a summary and update to our April 2005 report, Maritime Security: New Structures Have Improved Information Sharing, but Security Clearance Processing Requires Further Attention, GAO-05-394. It discusses the impact the committees and interagency operational centers have had on improving information sharing and identifies any barriers that have hindered information sharing.
Area maritime security committees provide a structure that has improved information sharing among port security stakeholders. At the four port locations GAO visited, federal and nonfederal stakeholders said that the newly formed committees were an improvement over previous information-sharing efforts. The types of information shared included assessments of vulnerabilities at port locations and strategies the Coast Guard intends to use in protecting key infrastructure. GAO's ongoing work indicates that these committees continue to be useful forums for information sharing. Interagency operational centers also allow for even greater information sharing because the centers operate on a 24-hour-a-day basis, and they receive real-time information from data sources such as radars and sensors. The Coast Guard has developed its own centers--called sector command centers--at 35 port locations to monitor information and to support its operations planned for the future. As of today, the relationship between the interagency operational centers and the sector command centers remains to be determined. In April 2005 the major barrier hindering information sharing was the lack of federal security clearances for nonfederal members of committees or centers. In April 2005, Coast Guard issued guidance to field offices that clarified their role in obtaining clearances for nonfederal members of committees or centers. In addition, the Coast Guard did not have formal procedures that called for the use of data to monitor application trends. As of June 2006, guidance was put in place and according to the Coast Guard, was responsible for an increase in security clearance applications under consideration by the Coast Guard. Specifically, as of June 2006, 188 out of 467 nonfederal members of area maritime security committees with a need to know received some type of security clearance. This is an improvement from February 2005, when no security clearances were issued to 359 nonfederal members of area maritime security committees members with a need to know security information.

Pope's Encyclical
Have you read the Pope's encyclical? Me either. But I've read reviews and there's more to it than global warming. I do plan to read it, but for now it looks like the warmists have God on their side, or at least His agent.
Climate of Fear
The Islamic Caliphate is capturing and holding territory in Anbar province and Syria. ISIS murdered 262 people in Palmyra over Memorial Day weekend. If past behavior is any guide, antiquities there could be doomed. President Obama called the defeat of Ramadi a "tactical setback".
In a commencement speech at the Coast Guard Academy last week the president hinted at his military priorities. He named climate change the top national security threat.
Cartoon Punch Down
If somebody tells you you can't draw something, the proper response of any self-respecting cartoonist is to draw that thing. Bosch Fawstin did exactly that and won first prize in the "Draw Mohammad" contest a week ago. In his cartoon a sword wielding Mohammad says, "You can't draw me", to which Fawstin responds, "That's why I draw you."
He also drew a response. Two heavily armed would be jihadis were gunned down by a cop with a pistol as they tried to turn "Draw Mohammad" into a "Charlie Hebdo" style massacre.
Doonesbury creator Garry Trudeau's approach is different from the Fawstin way. He explained it in his acceptance speech for a Polk lifetime achievement award last month. It's the punching bag theory of cartooning. He says that satire must always punch up at the powerful and never punch down at the powerless.
Now they tell me. There are rules for satire.
I like Doonesbury but haven't liked its politics ever since the entire cast cheered Nixon's wage/price controls back in the early 70's. But that's no reason to not appreciate a good cartoon. Doonesbury has been like an ongoing play with well developed characters who grow over time. It's witty too. Most of the time.
Steyn Punch Down
Mark Steyn, on the other hand, hates Trudeau's guts. So I picked out some of the good stuff from his column A Contemptible Man Strikes Down:
"The Polk Award is named after a journalist shot dead at point-blank range in 1948 while covering the Greek civil war. So you might have thought it would be in ever so mildly bad taste to use the opportunity of a Polk acceptance speech to piss on the graves of a group of journalists similarly murdered. Nevertheless, that's what Mr Trudeau did:
Charlie Hebdo, which always maintained it was attacking Islamic fanatics, not the general population, has succeeded in provoking many Muslims throughout France to make common cause with its most violent outliers. This is a bitter harvest.
Ah, so Charlie Hebdo is to blame for provoking ordinary, peaceful, moderate Muslims into supporting the Allahu Akbar guys who killed them.
Traditionally, satire has comforted the afflicted while afflicting the comfortable. Satire punches up, against authority of all kinds, the little guy against the powerful. Great French satirists like Molière and Daumier always punched up, holding up the self-satisfied and hypocritical to ridicule. Ridiculing the non-privileged is almost never funny—it's just mean.
Ayatollah Advice
Ayatollah Khamenei recently held a fire and brimstone revival in Iran. He said there would be no nuclear deal unless sanctions are lifted immediately.The Supreme Leader then presided over a rousing chorus of Death to America chants.
Nukes for Iran
President Obama's original line was no nukes for Iran. That may have changed. According to leaks, the administration is working on a ten year plan allowing enough centrifuges to have a nuclear infrastructure but not enough to build bombs. At the end of the ten years, thanks to Obama's persuasive power, the mullahs will be mollified, Iran will become a normal country, and we'll have nothing to worry about.
Bibi is unpersuaded:
The deal "doesn't block Iran's path to the bomb, it paves Iran's path to the bomb," Netanyahu said.

24-Hour Room Service
Hacienda Cusin, Ecuador
Saturday 04 September 1999
When South American mayhem starts to wear you down, there is a haven in the Ecuadorian sierra where you can get away from it all and smell the hollyhocks. The 17th century Hacienda Cusin is owned by a dashing Englishman, Nicholas T Millhouse, who strides around the grounds in plus- fours and an old tweed jacket, followed by his faithful hound, Bolivar.
When South American mayhem starts to wear you down, there is a haven in the Ecuadorian sierra where you can get away from it all and smell the hollyhocks. The 17th century Hacienda Cusin is owned by a dashing Englishman, Nicholas T Millhouse, who strides around the grounds in plus- fours and an old tweed jacket, followed by his faithful hound, Bolivar.
The restored Andean estate, made up of the main house (all white walls and terracotta tiles) and El Monasterio de Cusin (complete with towers, parapet and cloisters) has an English country garden that blooms foxgloves, bougainvillaea and orchids all year round and has llamas grazing on the lawn. The entrance hall is of the grandiose kind with dark wood panelling, and the dining room has a roaring log fire and tapestries (dinner is served by candlelight to theatrical Gregorian chants).
A stay here is total escapism, with tea in the library, horse riding and a stock of Fawlty Towers videos to while away the hours. Guests who have been seduced by Cusin include Isabella Rosselini's ex, Jonathan Wiederman (who loved it so much he came back to marry his Icelandic girlfriend here).
Location, location, location
Hacienda Cusin is at San Pablo del Lago, Imbabura, Ecuador (00 593 6 918 013/316, fax 00 593 6 918 003 or e mail: hacienda@ cusin.com.ec).
Cusin is 90 minutes north of Ecuador's capital, Quito and just seven miles north of the equator. At 8,500ft it nestles beneath the Andean mountains of Cotocachi, Mojanda, and Imbabura, close to the famous market town of Otavalo where you can stock up on colourful jumpers, rugs and hammocks.
The Airport Shuttle between Quito and Cusin for 1-6 guests costs £57.50. A helicopter, if you're feeling flash, is a snip at £450. Public transport on the mountainous rollercoaster between Quito and Otavalo is a risky business but if you're feeling brave, buses from the depot in Quito's Old Town stop nearby.
Are you lying comfortably?
There are 40 guest rooms, suites and garden cottages, each with a private bathroom, garden and mountain views. The sturdy wooden beds have crisp, white cotton sheets and the softest pillows imaginable. Most of the rooms have traditional kiva fireplaces and beamed ceilings, and are furnished with local crafts.
What to book: Ask for the Dueno's Suite with its antiques and crafts and a portrait of "Senor Nik" in a stylish red poncho. Number 25 has its own roof terrace, private garden and a tower from which you can see the landscape immortalised by the 19th century painter, Frederic Church.
It's all in the details
The great thing about staying here is that numerous excursions can be arranged on site. Trips to the Galapagos start from £385 per person (plus a £240 airfare) and trips to the Amazon start at £400. You can go hill walking and horse riding (£8 per hour) or visit local villages to see traditional craftsmen.
The bottom line
A single room costs £45, a double £63, including full American breakfast. Lunch and dinner are a bargain £9 each and the delicious home-cooked fare is all fresh.

Review quote
"The most recent edition of this renowned veterinary ophthmology textbook follows its predecessor's eyelids-to-orbit approach, focusing on ocular anatomy, detailed disease description, diagnosis and suggested treatments. The book comes in a hard cover for easier and long lasting handling of its 500 or so pages...In summary, this book provides a clinical approach of ocular conditions, diagnostic hints and treatment options that render it an indispensable tool for ophthalmological consultations. The clinical description is supported by good quality and self-explanatory drawings and pictures, which also give the book a veterinary?ophthalmology atlas perspective. In my opinion, it is an invaluable tool for veterinary students, general practitioners and veterinary ophthalmologists, and represents good value for money." The Veterinary Record, July 2013

GeForce GTX 780 SLI and Multi monitor review -
5760x1080 Multi-Monitor gaming
Gaming on three monitors at 5760x1080
With so much horsepower under the hood and with all the graphics memory available on graphics cards like these it would be a shame not to test multi-monitor performance. Hence we setup three Dell LCD screens and combined three 1920x1080 monitors towards a resolution of 5760x1080. These days all modern game titles can handle gaming on three monitors, whether or not it is your thing in terms of rendering power needed and stuff like bezels in-between the screens, I'll leave up to you to form an opinion about.
With three monitors we pass 6 MPixels that need to be rendered which is a huge task for any graphics card. At this point if at all you are using AA, your graphics card will need to have 2 GB of graphics memory at minimum. Well with GeForce GTX 780 you get 3GB per card, so I woudn't worry about that though.
Oh and if you figured 6 sets of PCI Express power connectors were the end of it, we now add three monitor connectors as well. For the SurroundView mode at a monitor resolution of 5760x1080 we take six games from our benchmark suite and fire off the following cards and combinations:
- GeForce GTX 680
- GeForce GTX 690
- Radeon HD 7970 GHz
- ARES II Crossfire (4 GPUs)
- GeForce GTX 780
- GeForce GTX 780 SLI
- GeForce GTX Titan
- GeForce GTX Titan 2-Way SLI
- GeForce GTX Titan 3-Way SLI
Far Cry 3
- Very High-quality DX11 mode
- 2x MSAA (Anti-aliasing)
- 16x AF (Anisotropic Filtering).
Medal of Honor Warfighter
Medal of Honor Warfighter - Ultra Quality mode and 4xMSAA with DX11 is activated. Again we see the Titan take a nice lead. A quick sidenote on the ARES II - unfortunately Eyefinity in combination with 4 GPUs became very unstable making the game crash and was showing abnormal low framerates, hence the weird ARES II 4 GPU Crossfire result. We've seen this often, 4GPUs is just not recommended.
A single 780 is already fine in terms of needed performance, at 43 FPS in this resolution you should be a happy man considering we apply 4xMSAA at monitor resolution of 5760x1080. 2 -way SLI scales pretty nicely though.
Hitman Absolution
- DirectX 11
- High Quality settings
- 2x MSAA
- 16x AF
- Internal benchmark used
Hitman Absolution was my favorite game in December alongside MOH Warfighter. Unfortunately we have hit a that weird bottleneck as already explained in the previous sessions. 2-way SLI still offers 'okay' scaling.

Meet UCL Mentor Christina and Get Help With Your Marketing
3 October 2013
"When I first met Christina, I thought 'does this woman ever sleep?!'" – Ruth Hou, Business Support Manager.
In the spring of 2011, Christina Richardson got in touch with UCL Advances about their business mentoring programme (SMILE, Selected Management Interims for London Enterprises) to volunteer her time to mentor London-based start-ups and SMEs.
She was working in FMCG business development, marketing, and brand management for large corporations before she made the leap into starting her own marketing and brand specialist consultancy. She had started to volunteer mentor start-ups and enjoyed it enough to start her own business.
Through UCL, she met with a handful of businesses ranging from a one developing a children's exercise game/tool to luxury African-manufactured handbags. She offered assistance from product development to marketing strategies to general business planning. One of her mentees said after just a couple of weeks, "Christina has been brilliant. I have had two fantastic sessions with her!"
As if this wasn't enough to keep her busy, Christina also happily gave time to lead a workshop at UCL for businesses on B2C Marketing and Branding. Feedback was so positive that by popular demand, she and the workshop will be back in the autumn of 2013. She says, "working with start-ups and ambitious SMEs day in day out means I get to work with some incredibly driven and talented people; and in so doing it is clear that it is these inspiring entrepreneurs and budding entrepreneurs that are driving the economy of the future."
Now, on top of everything else, Christina has started up a new online community aimed at helping businesses collaborate on their marketing.
Marketing Collaboration is the best-kept secret of the entrepreneurial world. Loads of savvy brands join forces to do their marketing together – promoting each other, doing events together, even creating new products together - all to get a bigger bang for their buck. The problem is finding the right Brand Match with the right customers, but that's where Brand Gathering comes in.
Businesses can build a profile for their brand on the site for free, find other brands with customers akin to theirs, and collaborate. Christina has kindly offered a UCL discount so you can sign up now at www.brandgathering.com and use the code "UCL" to be invited to trial new features and exclusive events!
So, it appears that sleep is not a requirement in Christina's life but her passion for entrepreneurship, start-ups and branding keeps her going!

Iron Mountain narrowly misses revenue, earnings estimates in Q4
As data storage firm Iron Mountain continues to seek federal approval to convert from a C-corp into a real estate investment trust, today it reported earnings and revenue for the last three months of 2013 that were slightly less than analysts were hoping for.
The Boston-based company took in $769 million in its fourth quarter, a 1.5 percent increase from the same period the previous year, but less than the $775 million analysts were expecting. Iron Mountain ended the year with a total of $3 billion in revenue, about flat with the previous year.
Its net income for the fourth quarter was $47.9 million. Adjusted to exclude one-time items, that works out to a 15 cent per share profit, down from 20 cents a share in the fourth quarter of 2012 and less than the 22 cents analysts were expecting.
The company, which began 1951 as a paper records storage business, has lost 18 percent of its stock value in the past year, most of that around the time of a June announcement that it would seek permission from the internal revenue service to become a REIT as of 2014. Such a conversion would lower taxes and distribute up to $1.5 billion in accumulated profits to shareholders, according to The Street.
As of 11 a.m. today, its stock was down 3 percent to $27.56 a share.
The company said in today's quarterly report that it "continues to pursue REIT conversion effective January 1, 2014." But based on its current structure, it predicts revenue growth of between 2-4 percent and full-year adjusted earnings per share of $1.03 to $1.14, flat to a slight increase over 2013.
The company has more than 17,000 employees around the world.

YIELD: Serves 4
Rinse sea bass under cold water and pat dry inside and out. Sprinkle cavity of bass with 1/2 teaspoon tarragon and pepper.
With a sharp knife trim ends of lemon to expose flesh and, standing lemon on one end, cut from top to bottom to remove peel and pitch. Cut lemon crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in cavity.
Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly oil a baking pan.
In a bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons tarragon, coarse salt, and flour. Stir in 1 cup warm water plus additional as necessary to form a slightly stiff paste (paste should resemble wet sand).
Arrange bass in oiled pan. Coat top of bass completely with half of salt mixture, patting it on, and turn bass over. Coat other side in same manner (bass should be completely covered).
Bake bass in middle of oven 30 minutes. Crack salt crust with a sharp knife or hammer and remove top crust, discarding it. To serve,lift bass in pieces off bones and discard bones. Lift out remaining bass. Serve bass with lemon wedges.

Home > National Historic Sites > Klondike National Historic Sites of Canada > Site Management
© CTC/ Fritz Mueller
We are beginning a management plan review for the Klondike National Historic Sites. These sites include Dawson Historical Complex, S.S. Keno, the Former Territorial Courthouse, Discovery Claim and Dredge No.4; all located within the traditional territory of the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in. A single management plan will be produced that encompasses all of these significant places. It is an opportunity to celebrate past successes, re-evaluate goals, and create new strategies for the future.
Management planning provides direction for the management of our sites over the next 10 years. This direction is partly based upon a recent assessment of the Klondike National Historic Sites' current situation, including the condition of its cultural resources and contemporary assets, as well as its visitor experiences, external support and aboriginal engagement.
Through collaboration with our partners and stakeholders, some of the site priorities for the future include:
Parks Canada manages national parks and historic sites on behalf of all Canadians. This process values input from partners, stakeholders and the public to ensure the plan takes into account the voices of the community. For this reason, public input plays an important role in management planning. We welcome your thoughts and ideas on the future of the Klondike National Historic Sites.
Parks Canada in the Klondike region acknowledges and appreciates the past involvement and support of all our partners and stakeholders. We sincerely look forward to your continued participation in charting our direction for the next 5 to 10 years.

Part of the reason is that it is difficult to possess necessary broad and deep knowledge of security related strategic knowledge to choose mitigating solutions suitable for a specific application or organization. This paper presents three patterns that use goal-oriented concepts to capture knowledge of security problems and their corresponding mitigating solutions. Each pattern captures three kinds of problems, including an undesirable outcome that negatively affects a security goal, threats that lead to the undesirable outcome and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by the threats.
