French anthropologist Philippe Descola tells Lucy Hodges about a lively two years spent with an isolated South American Indian tribe of wife-beaters and reformed headhunters with a penchant for vicious vendettas. Only in France would a 400-page book about a legendary tribe in the Amazonian jungle famous for headhunting and murderous conflicts with their neighbours become a great critical success.
Here The Spears of Twilight: Life and Death in the Amazon Jungle, for all its fascinating detail and fine writing, is likely to be read only by a few anthropological cognoscenti. That is a pity, because Philippe Descola has achieved what few others have done before - enabled us to smell, hear and feel what it was like to live with South American Indians who had somehow avoided the white man since the Spanish conquest.
During the two years he and his saintly companion, Anne-Christine, spent with the Achuar, they lived as members of the tribe, eating monkeys, toucans and wild pig, drinking the local beer, throwing up in the daily sacrifice, hallucinating on local drugs, learning the local language, listening to endless stories of vendettas and painting their faces red. They were plagued by mosquitoes, jiggers and lice. He got malaria and hepatitis. But Descola, professor of anthropology at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris, does not complain. He tells his story non-judgementally and with endearing self-deprecation.
As a French intellectual and a graduate of the elite Ecole Normale, he had hardly been trained for life in the wild. "I myself was trained for textual criticism and reflective studies," he explains in the book. "I knew how to establish a genealogy and identify a kinship terminology. I had been taught how to measure a field using a compass and a surveyor's chain, but nothing in my earlier life had prepared me for the role of a trapper."
As the son of intellectuals he grew up surrounded by the complete collection of Le Tour du Monde, the equivalent of The National Geographic at the end of the 19th century, which was beautifully illustrated with woodcuts in the style of Jules Verne. Which is why he has illustrated his book in similar style - with pen drawings. These books collected by his parents were also full of accounts of travels in the Amazon. Descola was hooked. When he read Tristes Tropiques, the classic text by Claude Levi-Strauss, who also wrote about anthropology in a personal narrative style, he was smitten.
Anthropological personal narrative is almost a literary genre in France. "My ambition in this book was not only to describe a very interesting culture, very original, which had very few contacts with the exterior world, but at the same time also to try to make the uninitiated understand what anthropology is about," he says.
Many people think anthropologists work a bit like natural scientists. In fact, the way they build their knowledge, Descola shows, is through participant observation - through chance. It depends on circumstances, on interactions with people. "The subjective aspect of our interactions is extremely important in our interpretations of a culture," he says. "That is why this is written as a chronicle which highlights certain moments in the process of learning what another culture is about." Thus he begins with describing the daily ritual of this subgroup of the Jivaro tribe who live on the border of Peru and Ecuador - how you sit, eat, where you can go, where you cannot go. At the beginning he was passively observing what was going on as he could not understand a word anyone was saying.
He took no interpreter with him because no one speaks this particular Indian dialect.
As the months rolled by the fog cleared. Slowly, he began to understand the language. That enabled him to get the hang of the social life, the relationships between people and different local groups.
Magic plays a pivotal role in the lives of the Achuar. Nankui is, for example, the goddess or spirit of the vegetable patch, appearing in people's dreams and watching benignly over the cultivation of the staples of the tribal diet. The women, whose job is to grow manioc root and other vegetables, sing to her. They invest their plants with souls - sweet potato and courgettes have feminine souls, the banana tree a masculine one. When plants fail, foul play - curses and jealousy - is suspected. When roots acquire red streaks, it is assumed the plant has sucked blood.
In fact, it was the tribe's relationship to the environment that struck Descola most. "Because they think most plants and animals have souls they are treated as persons," he says. "This means plants and animals are part of the society in the sense that you can communicate with them through magical songs, through dreams and trances."
He found the tribal penchant for internecine warfare, assassination and pulling the trigger on whoever you think has it in for you, harder to take. Domestic violence was common too, he discovered, as evidenced by the criss-cross scars all over the skulls of women. Men practise polygamy and keep their wives in order by taking a swing at them or reaching for their machete. It is considered normal for a husband to beat his wife when angry.
Descola describes how one brute of a husband, not content with his three wives, took over the other three wives of his brother when his brother's head was carried off by a neighbouring tribe. Of the three new wives, he killed one, suspecting adultery, the second ran away to escape ill-treatment and the third tried to commit suicide by taking poison. When bandaging the women's wounds, poor Descola found his neutrality as an ethnologist severely tested.
Given the lurid reputation the Achuar enjoy, Descola was disappointed to discover they had not practised headhunting for a long time. In fact, he was told they had never made shrunken heads and that practice was associated with a neighbouring tribe. They were, however, the only group locally to continue with internal vendetta warfare, a practice linked to shamanism.
Vendettas break out typically because a wife flees a brutal husband to join another man. The brute and his family feel justified in seeking revenge against the new man and his kin, and go in search, armed with weapons. Or maybe a relation dies. The tribe does not accept the notion of natural death. They believe either you are killed through violence or you die as a result of a shamanic spell. If the latter, there is always someone responsible. Which means a vendetta. Descola emphasises, however, that the violence is ritualised and that daily life is extremely peaceful most of the time.
What did the Achuar think of him? They were sorry for him because he had only one wife, and were keen to give him another. But Descola said Anne-Christine's father would not like it. Similarly Anne-Christine was considered unfortunate in having such a spindly fellow for a husband - and one so lacking in hunting prowess.
The tribe had no idea it was a tiny island in a mostly westernised world. Descola told them he had come from far away over the sea, but they had no idea what the sea was. And, of course, it was difficult to explain. They have managed to remain so isolated because they are warriors and because of geography. It is very hard to reach them. Descola and his companion had to travel by canoe along a river and on foot through the jungle for several days, tripping on roots and slipping on damp clay. When the intrepid pair reached the Achuar they were abandoned instantly by their guides because of the tribe's terrifying reputation.
It took them months to build up a relationship with their hosts, but they managed it, partly because they conformed to their customs but also because they did not boss them about like the missionaries did. They gave them multicoloured glass beads - just like explorers in 19th-century engravings - as well as lengths of cloth, fishing hooks and axe-heads. They became so close in fact that Descola was made an amik - a kind of brother - by the man he lived with.
Their two years went by in a blur of gardening, hunting, drinking manioc beer, listening to ritual dialogues, taking notes by torchlight and the occasional wild party. Descola makes no secret of how bored he became, shut off from the outside world with the same faces day after day bringing the same stories. "I sometimes wonder whether the vendettas that punctuate their lives are not a means for them to escape from the everyday grey uniformity," he writes. Eventually his desire to understand the Achuar eroded. It was time to pack his bags and head back to Paris. One might think he would have been relieved to get home to creature comforts, but he was not. It was extremely hard to adjust to the materialism of the West.
He came away having learnt some encouraging lessons - that people can be at one with nature rather than continually striving to conquer it, and that it is possible to live without divine or historical transcendence, or national consciousness. Descola has built his academic career on a study of the Achuar and this book is an attempt to convey the excitement of what he discovered to a wider audience. It took him 15 years to write. One can see why his compatriots lapped it up.

Bisons blanked
Bisons' starter Dillon Gee made quite the impression to begin his Triple-A career, but it wasn't enough to beat the Pawtucket Red Sox Friday, Buffalo falling 9-0 at Coca-Cola Field. With just four games of experience above Class A-Advanced, Gee (0-1) carried a scoreless ballgame into the fifth, retired 12 of the first 14 batters he faced. At the plate, Cory Sullivan (pictured) had one of the two hits for the Herd.

We are a few months away from the release of the new Pokemon Sword & Shield game and The Pokemon Company has now announce a Livestream event for the game that will go on for 24 hours.
According to the developer, the broadcast will start on the 4th of October and this time, it will start at 6 am PT and will air a 24 hours "live" footage of Glimwood Tangle, which is a forest region Galar region.
It was revealed that the research will be conducted by Sonia, the assistant and granddaughter of Professor Magnolia so that they can observe the Pokemon in their natural habitat. The developer also added that viewers might be able to notice some things that would surprise them which we think will probably be a glimpse of some new Gen 8 Pokemon or maybe even a teaser for the next Legendary Pokemon.
Pokemon Sword and SHield will be released on the 15th of November on the Nintendo Switch.

Initially, 40 corrupt DSPs will be started to bring changes in Punjab police culture; The corrupt DSPP lists have been prepared, the notification for the police officers to graduate soon Will be issued. A few days ago Inspector General Punjab Police had formed a committee consisting of high officers, who were directed to report the report by black black sheep from police.
It has been said that the committee has collected data related to corrupt officers with the help of secret agencies across the province. The committee has also submitted a report based on its recommendations to Punjab.
Under which initially a 40 corrupt SDPO and DSPP list has been developed. IG will issue the notification of suspension of the officers in a two day on the recommendations of the Punjab Police Committee.
Afterwards, SHOs, inspectors and then at lower level will be implemented against the black sheep in police. It is clear that when the PTI came to the government, he urged the steps to revolve and clear the police culture. The public could get relief. Prime Minister Imran Khan also received the services of former IG Nasir Durrani for police referrals, but later he apologized to handle the responsibility of the prime minister. In this case, the Sahayah Sahayal. On which the government has taken control of police culture. The change of police culture will actually help the public. Because in the culture, human beings are not considered human, but extremely unusual.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Mike Moustakas homered for the first time since mid-August, Brandon Moss also went deep and Kansas City held off Minnesota 7-6 on Friday night.
Melky Cabrera tied a season-high with four hits for the Royals, who won for just the second time in eight games.
Jorge Polanco homered for Minnesota, which lost for the first time in five games.
Kelvin Herrera allowed a two-run single to Joe Mauer in the ninth, but Scott Alexander struck out Eddie Rosario with the bases loaded for his second save in four tries.
The Twins remain one game behind New York – which lost 4-1 to Boston – for the top AL wild card spot. Minnesota entered the night leading Los Angeles, which played at Texas, by 1 1/2 games for the second spot. Kansas City is now 3 1/2 games behind.
Royals' starter Jason Hammel (7-10) allowed Polanco's two-run home run in the first and a run in the third, before retiring 12 straight. He allowed four earned runs on seven hits in 6 1-3 innings.

Frosted Cinnamon-Raisin Biscuits
I created this recipe several years ago after sampling something similar at a popular chain restaurant. These easy drop biscuits are a great accompaniment to a country-style breakfast.
Total TimePrep/Total Time: 30 min.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 to 5 teaspoons warm water
- In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; sprinkle with raisins and cinnamon. Knead 8-10 times (cinnamon will have a marbled appearance).
- Drop batter into 12 mounds 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 12-16 minutes or until golden brown.

What is compare to Prior Period?
In TapClicks Dashboards and Widgets, you can compare date ranges to a prior period. These can be pre-populated values or custom ranges.
What to do if compare period looks wrong
Did you choose a custom date range?
When working with a custom date range instead of the default pre-populated options with the Compare to Prior Period feature, TapAnalytics will compare the exact number of days you select to the exact number of days in the prior period.
As an example, when you select a custom date range such as December 1-December 31st, we are actually comparing to the 31 days prior instead of the last month since the custom date range is based on days.
The logic for the 'Prior Period' pre-set is that it takes into account the type of current period being applied.
Here is a chart highlighting the prior period behavior for various current period pre-set options. A custom date range is based on days so the prior period will be based on days too.

Note: late start time for those of you up late ringing in the New Year. Also, it's a good way to get off the couch and not watch those football games plus, burn off some extra holiday pounds. A steady up to moderate paced 35 mile loop that goes around the back side of Flower World, where we might see some goats and through Paradise Valley. A-C Terrain with rolling hills, the hardest hills are avoided. Weather constraints: Ice, snow or 35 degrees or lower temps cancels, light rain is ok. Fenders with flaps show you care! This route can easily be shortened if needed. Coffee/ snack break somewhere on the Woodinville Duval Rd. Check ride up dates, I will post two hours prior if the ride won't happen.

An interesting post at OTB yesterday, [1] caught my eye:
The cover story of the current Atlantic (Monthly) is an interesting piece by Nicholas Carr which asks, Is Google Making Us Stupid? [2] It begins with the standard "the Internet is giving us short attention spans" meme but eventually gives us much more than that.
Over the past few years I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn't going—so far as I can tell—but it's changing. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I'm reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I'd spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That's rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I'm always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.
I think I know what's going on. For more than a decade now, I've been spending a lot of time online, searching and surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of the Internet. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the stacks or periodical rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes. A few Google searches, some quick clicks on hyperlinks, and I've got the telltale fact or pithy quote I was after. Even when I'm not working, I'm as likely as not to be foraging in the Web's info-thickets—reading and writing e-mails, scanning headlines and blog posts, watching videos and listening to podcasts, or just tripping from link to link to link. (Unlike footnotes, to which they're sometimes likened, hyperlinks don't merely point to related works; they propel you toward them.)
For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. The advantages of having immediate access to such an incredibly rich store of information are many, and they've been widely described and duly applauded. "The perfect recall of silicon memory," Wired's Clive Thompson has written, "can be an enormous boon to thinking." But that boon comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski.
Reading, explains [Maryanne Wolf, a developmental psychologist at Tufts University], is not an instinctive skill for human beings. It's not etched into our genes the way speech is. We have to teach our minds how to translate the symbolic characters we see into the language we understand. And the media or other technologies we use in learning and practicing the craft of reading play an important part in shaping the neural circuits inside our brains. Experiments demonstrate that readers of ideograms, such as the Chinese, develop a mental circuitry for reading that is very different from the circuitry found in those of us whose written language employs an alphabet. The variations extend across many regions of the brain, including those that govern such essential cognitive functions as memory and the interpretation of visual and auditory stimuli. We can expect as well that the circuits woven by our use of the Net will be different from those woven by our reading of books and other printed works.
Much, much more at the link. It's worth a read, presuming you have the attention span.
Oh, cute. Remind me to forward you my IQ scores for when we have that discussion again. James obvious giggle aside, he says:
My own experience closely mirrors Ezra Klein's. I can still sit down with a stack of books as efficiently before if I've got a major research project or book review due. But, increasingly, the Internet is my source of first resort for looking up facts, keeping up with the news, and the like. It's simply a much more efficient means of accessing current information than combing the stacks at the library.
Indeed. Add to that the idea that it offers a number of sources of information that you'd likely not have considered even looking at, were you restricted to the printed page. And therein lies something which I think goes missing from a lot of these "woe is the human race, nobody reads books anymore" memed bits… We're actually getting smarter than books ever allowed us to.
Look, I admit there is a certain art level in doing the kind of book-based research that James describes… an art that is disappearing, certainly, and I can see where some would see a loss in that. It takes a fair amount of smarts to do research in that fashion. But what is the purpose of the book? What is the purpose of the printed page? It is to impart information. We humans have evolved our information gathering and dissemination ability to the next level. I refuse to see this as a bad thing.
And yes there are historical examples of genius at dealing with the printed page… but they are considered both a rarity and more than a little freakish.
The Futility Closet [3], passes long one such example:
Florentine scholar Antonio Magliabechi (1633-1714) has been described as a literary glutton. His house was choked with 40,000 books and 10,000 manuscripts, and he spent hours each day in the Medici library.
The negligent Magliabechi reportedly once forgot to draw his salary for a full year, but his head was "an universal index, both of titles and matter." When the Duke of Florence asked him for a particular volume he replied, "Signore, there is but one copy of that book in the world; it is in the Grand Signore's library at Constantinople, and is the eleventh book in the second shelf on the right hand as you go in."
That memory made him a human search engine for writers of the time. In Curiosities of Human Nature, Samuel Goodrich records that a priest might consult Magliabechi about a panegyric on a particular saint. "He would immediately tell him who had said anything of that saint, and in what part of their works, and that, sometimes, to the number of above a hundred authors. … All this he did with the greatest exactness, naming the author, the book, the words, and often the very number of the page in which the passage referred to was inserted."
Surrounded by books, he lived to be 81, and in his will he left his library to the public.
I have to wonder, if Magliabechi would have dealt well with a computer. Certainly, Google would have had more information to hand than would Magliabechi's entire library, vast though it was.
There's this, too; Wisdom suggests that real genius is not knowing it all, but knowing where to look it up. If that's true, then I submit to you all that the number of geniuses in our world has gone up on an order of scale in the last 20 years.
As an example of the way things are going; I have an entire wall of my home office covered with various computer publications. A glance through their titles suggests that there is no realm more affected by time, then the realm of technology. Books I spent literally hundreds for, just a few short years ago, "Lantastic 5.0", a complete collection of Novell networking and training books, for versions 3 through 5. MCSA books for Win2000, The inner workings of DOS 6, and so on. A collection of books written by James Martin for the Bell labs is particularly amusing in that way: Systems Analysis for data transmission, Telecommunications and the computer, and transmission systems for communications. While very technical, and while very good at passing along basic theory, Martin's books were a primer on getting data and digital connectivity in an analogue world.
All these books, on the open market are nigh on worthless, today. I keep them as a reminder of how quickly investments sour. They stand as mute proof that things in the technological world have been changing so quickly as to make the printed word not only worthless, but six months away from publication, counter-productive for being woefully outdated.
Don't misunderstand; I don't see books as a bad thing. But if the single most efficient way of obtaining information and spreading it around, is what you're after, the printed word ain't it anymore, sorry.
At the outset, I had to wonder in James' comment section if this thing wasn't Atlantic trying to wrap a plausible excuse for their own dwindling print sales… an excuse that they themselves could accept. In short, print media's dying because we're all a bunch of idiots. Such arguments have certainly graced the pages of other publications, previously. The New York Times, for example, used it recently in an attempt to explain it's ever tighter drain circling of late. What then, is the cause of the obvious angst… nay, anger, really… in the Atlantic article? Well, for one thing, it's that publishers like The Atlantic aren't nearly at the top of the informational food chain… and they're not making dime one off of it. The future is not with the printed medium… the one that's made them all that money for all those years. They see the web as a paradigm shift…(Use of the phrase is a nod to the paper worshipers) … away from them, and they're not happy.
Understandable. It's costing them money. Rather like my book collection did.

Kumar Sangakkara hopes Sri Lanka can somehow overcome their "chaotic" build-up to the World Cup thanks to new captain Dimuth Karunaratne's "lack of baggage".
The 1996 champions head into this year's edition in England, which starts next week, having lost eight of their last nine one-day internationals — with the lone win in that run Tuesday's rain-affected victory over Scotland, a non-Test nation who have not qualified for the World Cup."It's been quite chaotic, both in terms of continuity in selection and giving players a very good, consistent run in the team, which is essential for confidence," former Sri Lanka captain Sangakkara said at Lord's on Thursday.
"If it's a constant change and churn, where you're always looking over your shoulder trying to safeguard your position, rather than trying to execute team strategy, I think that becomes a big problem," added Sri Lanka great Sangakkara, a member of the sides beaten in the 2007 and 2011 World Cup finals by Australia and India respectively.
Since the beginning of 2017, Sri Lanka have had six different captains, the most recent of whom is Test opener Karunaratne.
A leading batsman in the five-day game, Karunaratne had not been part of Sri Lanka's ODI set-up since the 2015 edition, largely because of his low scoring rate in white-ball cricket.

Istanbul Weather Guide
So you think Aussie summers are hot? Try a summer in Istanbul. It's not uncommon for daily temps to be above 40 degrees Celsius and the humidity is off the scale too, although some days can be a little milder, hovering around 28 degrees. In winter, it's wet, cold and sometimes temps go below freezing. Spring and autumn are just divine though, and a great time to visit the city.
Season and Clothing
Summer: June to August
If you can bear the heat, summer's a great time to visit Istanbul. Most tourists are hitting the coastal towns down south in Turkey, so the room rates are much more reasonable during this time of year. Temps here are pretty damn hot though, with regular temps of more than 40 degrees Celsius. It's also quite humid and rarely rains in summer.
Average temperatures: 16 – 27 degrees Celsius.
Appropriate clothing: Lightweight clothing in light colours, sandals and trainers.
Don't forget: Sunscreen, sunnies, a hat and glam gear for night-time.
Autumn: September to November
Unlike many other European destinations, autumn is high season in Istanbul, so expect bigger crowds and to pay a little extra for your room. The weather has cooled down a little, so you won't have to face the blistering heat and the skies are still bright. The climate can be sometimes unreliable and unpredictable in autumn though, so pack for a variety of weather conditions.
Average temperatures: 8 – 24 degrees Celsius.
Appropriate clothing: Jeans, long skirts, shirts, t-shirts and trainers.
Don't forget: To cover your legs and shoulders if you are visiting the Blue Mosque and other religious sites.
Winter: December to February
Because many Turkish resorts are closed in winter, you'll really only find visitors in Istanbul during these months. But not loads of tourists. In winter the temps can sink below zero here, but the average is between 10 and 12 degrees Celsius. It can be quite windy in winter too and even snows for about 2 weeks. Now is a great time to check out the Grand Bazaar and the city's museums.
Average temperatures: 2 – 10 degrees Celsius.
Appropriate clothing: Jackets, scarves, jeans, pants and long-sleeve tops.
Don't forget: Boots and socks if you need to take your shoes off inside.
Spring: March to May
Spring is high season in Istanbul. The blistering heat of summer has not yet arrived and the skies are bright and blue. Daily temps hover between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius and parks are blooming with beautiful tulips and other flowers. It's also Anzac Day season, so if you're around before April 25, chances are you may bump into some Aussies before they make their way to Gallipoli. Don't miss the cultural experience that is the Turkish hamam on your holiday here.
Average temperatures: 4 – 20 degrees Celsius.
Appropriate clothing: Items for layering, dresses, pants and thongs for the hamam.
Don't forget: A lightweight jacket or blazer for cool nights and to dress up for clubbing.

2017 New Releases From Spain, Part 1
Jan 2017,
Overall quality of Spanish wines continues to rise, as does their availability in export markets. The result is a rapidly increasing number of wines that are worthy of consumers' attention. This year we will be publishing several articles throughout the year in order to align coverage with what has become a continuous stream of new releases.
Exploring Mediterranean Spain
Spain, featured
Jan 2016,
Attempting to categorize a stretch of Spain that runs from the French border down and then west across to Jerez is a challenge that is best achieved by taking a closer look at some of the individual regions that make up this vast swath of land. The wines produced in the zones that lie on or near the Mediterranean coast vary considerably. The northeast section, Catalonia, tends to produce more graceful wines that reflect the area's relatively cool climate, while those farther down the coast display the ripe, powerful character one would expect from hot, arid conditions. Throw in the elegant wines being made on Spain's islands, especially the Canaries, and you've got an area that defies simple generalization.
Atlantic Spain
Spain, featured
Jan 2016,
As might be expected, wines made across Spain's Atlantic regions, both whites and reds, tend to be cool and restrained, strongly reflecting the ocean-influenced climate. They are quite unlike their lush, ripe southern cousins, which mostly come from vineyards that are among the hottest, driest and sunniest in Europe. Conditions along Spain's Atlantic coast often bear striking similarity to those of southern England and the wines reflect it.
Central Spain: Tempranillo and Beyond
Spain, featured
Dec 2015,
Central Spain is a distinctly homogeneous area, geographically speaking. The majority of its red wines are made entirely, or in large part, from Tempranillo, which is Spain's single most esteemed variety and the grape that most often places the country among the world's elite wine-growing regions.
The Many Facets of Rioja
Spain, featured
Nov 2015,
Diving into the Rioja red wine piscina can be at turns fascinating and confusing. My advice is to approach the region without preconceptions. Rioja produces Tempranillo-based reds that range in style from hyper-traditional, often rustic and austere wines that wouldn't be unfamiliar to a time traveler from the 19th century to flamboyantly rich, fruit-driven, new oak-influenced bottlings that would blend in well—and even stand out for their sheer quality—in blind flights of high-end Napa or Bordeaux wines.
Cellar Favorite: 1976 R. Lopéz de Heredia Viña Tondonia Rioja Gran Reserva
Spain, Cellar Favorites
Jan 2015,
The 1976 Viña Tondonia Rioja Gran Reserva is a wine of great clarity and finesse, with a very long, ethereal finish featuring fully resolved tannins and an impression of weightlessness.
Focus on Spain
IWC, Spain
Sep 2014,
Like most of the rest of northern Europe's wine-growing regions, Spain suffered through a cool, rain-plagued growing season and--in many regions--harvest in 2013
Talking Spirits with Nicolas Palazzi
Spain, Rest of the World
Dec 2013,
Micro-negociant Nicolas Palazzi offers magnificent artisan spirits that deserve just as much attention as the best small production wines anywhere in the world.
New Releases from Spain
IWC, Spain
Sep 2013,
Veteran IWC readers don't really need to be reminded that Spain is, in our opinion, the world's richest source of outstanding red wine values
New Releases from Spain
IWC, Spain
Sep 2012,
Coming on the heels of the challenging 2006, 2007 and 2008 vintages, the mostly very good to excellent 2009, 2010 and 2011 trio is providing welcome relief to growers and importers, not to mention wine lovers

Starting his career at a young age at Gearbox records, he was directly in the spotlights of many people. He did create stunning tracks which give you chills all over the place, using the most epic vocals. Now he is ready for the uprising and releasing his tracks on End of Line Recordings. He worked together with DJ Thera, Crypsis and more. He did perform at Defqon and Intents a few weeks ago. We think it is about time to learn more about him, let's have a chat with Artifact!
Hi Artifact, thanks for having us. How are you? Can you give us a little recap of the last months, Defqon, Intents and Emporium must have been insane right?
Doing really good! Finally kicked off the summer with some epic festivals. Defqon.1, Intents and Emporium were all great and I enjoyed every second playing there. The Blue area at Defqon has been on my bucket list since I started DJ'ing so it was awesome to perform in that massive tent! Also, the atmosphere at the Fanatics stage at Intents was something I haven't seen in a looong time… Damn! The whole crowd, front to back, left to right, was going nuts on ALL the tracks… loved it!
Of course we went to your sets during these great events, where else can we spot you during this festival summer?
There are much more festivals to come! You can find me at Dominator, Fatality, Ultrasonic, Airforce, The Qontinent, Dream Village, Q-Base and more.
Let's take a trip back, how did you come in touch with music, did you learn to play any instrument or something?
I have always loved music. When I was a little kid, I was always listening to music on my Walkman. When I was about 11 years old, I started playing guitar. I learned a lot about music that way, and I still play guitar now. Later on, I installed FL Studio on my laptop just to see how music production works… and now I'm here.
How did you come in touch with Hardstyle?
It was around 2006, when jumpstyle was a hype. I liked the sound of the distorted bassdrum and I started digging in to harder styles. I checked out some live sets (Tatanka @ Qlimax 2006) and the infamous Explosive Cartuning CD's. That was when I got hooked.
What was the first Hardstyle-event you did visit?
Sensation Black 2007, in the Amsterdam ArenA. In one word; Epic.
When did you decide that you did want to produce tracks by yourself?
When I hear or see something I like, I always wonder how it's made and if I can make it myself. Same with hardstyle music. I tried it, but it was way harder than I thought. Kickdrums are frustrating… damn. But I didn't stop and eventually things started to sound better. That motivated me, and I kept producing.
Can you tell us something about the learning process, how did you learn to master the programs that you use in the studio for instance?
I try to learn everything by myself, just try something and hear or see what it does. This works best for me. I also watched a lot of Youtube tutorials. Some helped, some didn't. I remember how I made my first good screech, it was when I heard the track "Rauwe Brok" by Josh & Wesz. There's basically a screech tutorial in it! Listen carefully and you'll find out!
Talking about the studio, can you tell us something about your studio set-up? Do you have any favourite equipment?
I have never had a lot of hardware, I think nowadays you can make quality music with pretty basic stuff if you use your software right! I see beginning producers buy expensive Virus TI's or Genelec Monitor Speakers. Cool stuff, but it doesn't make you a good producer! I use FL Studio for all my productions. I have a MIDI Keyboard and KRK Monitor Speakers. My favorite synths are Sylenth, Serum, Spire and Massive and I absolutely love the Filterbank fx plugin. You can make pretty basic sounds sound epic with that bad boy.
Lately many youngsters try to produce their own music, it seems like DJ'ing and Producing became a bit of a hype, or it's just in everybody's reach because of the technology and innovation. What do you think about that? Is it good for the scene, or is it an overkill?
I think it's a good thing! However, some young producers have the wrong mindset. They hear something they like, and they want to copy it. That's good if you want to learn how to create a certain sound, but I think having your own style and sound is the most important thing nowadays. Don't try to copy, create your own. Look at Warface, for example. He came with a fresh, unique sound, and is the fastest rising star of the moment in raw hardstyle.
As a producer, do you have any tips for these talents?
Try to do what YOU like, not what others already do. Create your own style, be unique.
Speaking about talents, who would you recommend to keep an eye on?
D-Sturb is of course a huge talent. He recently joined the End Of Line team and I'm happy he did! I recently made a collab with the guys of Nemesis, talented guys as well! Also, keep an eye on Ignition and The Arkitect.
You did produce some new tracks lately, tell us a little bit about your producing process, how do you start for instance?
Most of the times I start with the climax or the break. I try to make a nice melody or chord progression on my MIDI keyboard. Try to set the atmosphere for the track. When I get the right feeling, the rest of the track will follow automatically.
Recently you did remix Crypsis – Tuatara, a brilliant remix in my opinion. If you can choose any track to create another remix. Which track would it be?
Yeah, that was a great honor! Hm another track… Jack of Sound – Kaylee's Nightmare would be epic!
Speaking about other producers, who did inspire you?
My biggest inspirations are B-Front and Crypsis. I love the Frequencerz style as well. They all make great raw hardstyle without losing the true feeling.
If you have to choose between DJ'ing or Producing, what will it be?
Choosing between those 2 is impossible. I absolutely love making music on my pc, but there's nothing compared to the feeling you get when you play that track you've been working so hard on live at an event.
You did perform at many great events already, what is your best experience on stage?
I think the highlight of my career so far is Supremacy last year. It was the biggest stage by far, the place was packed and the atmosphere was insane. After my set, Crypsis asked me to do the remix so the night couldn't have gone any better. However, performing at the Blue at defqon was sick too, and the Hangar is waiting for me at Q-Base…
Which event is still on your bucket list?
Decibel! Haven't played there yet. Also, events abroad would be sick. Defqon.1 Australia, Mysteryland Chile… that would be insane.
As mentioned earlier you did play at Masters of Hardcore, at the raw stage. Do you like to listen to Hardcore as well?
Yes I do! I listen to all kinds of music. I love hardcore, and I listen to it often. I like mainstream hardcore, but I love the PRSPCT crossbreed stuff too!
Of course we are also checking social-media, and we see many beers passing by watching your instagram and facebook. What is your favourite beer, or type of beer, do you prefer an IPA or Weissen?
Haha oh yeah I love beer. I think my favourite style is IPA, although I love all beers excepts the sour ones. I loved playing in Scotland, visited the Brewdog pub there!
Besides drinking beer, DJ'ing and producing, do you have any other hobbies?
I play guitar, I design some stuff, and I like to party a lot and spend time with friends. Go to festivals, hardstyle and non-hardstyle.
Recently you did promote your own snapback, which is for sale now, where can we grab one?
Yes! They're available at www.noize-vizion.com or www.hardstyle.com.
Final Question: Do you have anything left to share with us, maybe something exclusive?
I'm working on some interesting collabs, and I just finished a new track with Elke Donkers. It's the follow-up for I See Lights. One of the collabs is with a MIM veteran… keep your ears open! I also uploaded my Loudness tool, The Intensity Of Sound, which I will give away when my FB page hits 10.000 likes! Besides that there is a cool giveaway coming up on the Hardstylemag page, something with my new snapback ;), haha!

List-building 2.0: 7 Tips for Using 'Power' Polls For Prospecting
Most people know Web 2.0 is simply the evolution of the Internet into an environment of interactivity, reader participation and usability. Web 2.0 opens up the dialog between user and website or blog. This connection can help generate traffic and a viral buzz.
But from a search engine marketing (SEM) standpoint, the benefits are clear and measurable: More traffic and frequent interactivity (or posts) equal better organic (free) rankings in search engine results. Getting good organic rankings is a powerful way to find qualified prospective customers.
So what online tactic encourages Web 2.0 principles as well as helps with search engine results page rank, visibility and listing-building efforts? Targeted online prospecting polls, also known as "acquisition" or "lead generation" polls.
Based on the specificity of your poll question, online acquisition polls can help you: collect relevant names and email addresses; gauge general market (or subscriber) sentiment; and generate sales (via a redirect to a synergistic promotional page). Polls also allow for interactivity, where participants can sound off about a hot topic.
I've been including strategic acquisition polls in my online marketing strategy for nearly a decade now and have rarely been disappointed with the results. Some websites, like surveymonkey.com, allow members to set up free or low-cost surveys and polls. However, it may not allow you to include a name-collection component or a redirect to a promotional or "thank you" webpage, which is essential for a success.
If that's the case, either ask your Webmaster to build you a proprietary poll platform or use a poll script. You can find examples at hotscripts.com, ballot-box.net/faq.php, and micropoll.com.
Here are seven ways to help create a winning prospecting poll campaign:
1. Engage. Your poll question should engage the reader, encourage participation, pique interest and tie into a current event. And be sure to have a "comments" field where people can make additional remarks. Sample topics: politics, the economy, health, consumer breakthroughs, the stock market, foreign affairs.
2. Relevance. Your poll question should also be related to your product, free e-newsletter editorial, or free bonus report (which can be used as incentive). This will greatly improve your conversion rate. Let's say your free offer is a sign-up to a stock market e-newsletter and the upsell is a redirect landing page promotion to a paid gold investment newsletter for $39/yr. In that case, your poll question should be tied with the editorial copy and product, something like "Where is gold headed in 2013?"

TransformEd works at the intersection of research, policy, and practice in order to support educators and education systems in equipping students with the Mindsets, Essential Skills, and Habits (MESH) that help students succeed. Engaging in thoughtful projects with our partners, which include leading researchers, school leaders, and teachers, is crucial to building our understanding of MESH competencies and of strategies for integrating them meaningfully within schools. In both California and Massachusetts, we are learning how to implement measures of MESH in schools at scale. In the Boston Charter Research Collaborative (BCRC), we are learning how to carry out targeted interventions to improve students' MESH skills: skills that we know matter, such as growth mindset, self-management, grit, executive function, and working memory.
The BCRC is a unique researcher-practitioner partnership that engages renowned researchers from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Massachusetts Institute of Technology with practitioners from six high-performing charter management organizations from the Boston area in a multi-year collaboration. The BCRC was designed to serve as a source of gold-standard evidence on scalable practices to improve student outcomes within and beyond school and as a model for similar partnerships between practitioners and researchers that efficiently address some of the field's most pressing evidentiary needs. TransformEd facilitates all collaborative activities, including leading the assessment of six MESH skills, recommending interventions to build MESH skills, advising researchers and practitioners on the implementation of these interventions in schools, and sharing lessons on how to carry out this work with a broad audience, including educators and policymakers nationwide. Through the BCRC, we have the unique opportunity to build deep relationships between research teams, school leaders, and educators alike in order to identify the highest priority needs in schools and collectively design meaningful interventions to address these needs.
Every September –beginning in just a few weeks, and over the next 2-3 years –TransformEd will share a working paper for practitioners and others in the education field interested in learning more about our on-the-ground work to identify the most effective practices to improve students' cognitive and MESH skills. Our goal is to provide actionable knowledge for practitioners, distilled from rigorous research, which can be implemented at scale within schools. We will also share out lessons learned from engaging in collaborative work across research and practice and will attempt to capture best practices for researchers and educators who similarly wish to combine their expertise to deepen their understanding of evidence-based practices that positively impact student outcomes.
The first working paper of the series will focus on how to launch a successful in-school research collaborative. Building successful working relationships across several diverse organizations, articulating common goals, and creating the enabling conditions to carry out the implementation of rapid-cycle interventions within schools are essential to create a strong foundation for a multi-year partnership.
Not surprisingly, this is very challenging work. It takes time to get the proper pieces in place. How did we do it? What did we learn? Our first paper will share our biggest takeaways from the first year of collaborative work and offer specific recommendations for researchers or practitioners who are considering building similar collaboratives to improve student outcomes.
To make sure you don't miss the launch of the working paper, subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on twitter.

FAQs about Best Air Compressor for RV Tires
How much of pressure (psi) does it need?
The pressure discharged by the compressor must exceed the psi requirement of all pneumatic tools or other machines requiring power.
(Psi- pounds per square inch)
How much air flow (cfm) does it need?
Cfm is the measure of airflow that the portable air compressor can create. You can sate Cfm in two different forms, i.e. piston displacement (PD) or actual cubic feet per minute (acfm). Acfm reflects the real amount of usable compressed air.
Choose a compressor that exceeds the psi and cfm requirements of your equipment so that you are not underpowered. You attain the best results when you purchase an air compressor with 1-1/2 times more cfm than your equipment requirements.
(Cfm-cubic feet per minute)
How much horsepower does it need?
The horsepower is directly proportional to the cubic feet per minute rating of the air compressor. The higher the horsepower, the higher air (cfm) compressor can deliver.
However, do not rely solely on the horsepower when selecting the best portable air compressor.
Which size of the tank does it need?
A portable air compressor has a tank that provides a reserve of air to meet peak flow and pressure demands. The larger the tank, the more reserve is available. Tanks can either be vertical or horizontal.
What supply of electricity is available?
The power supply is an essential factor that you should consider when buying an air compressor.
Where a three-phase and single-phase compressors are available, the best option is a three-phase air compressor. It produces more efficient compressed air than the single-phase equivalent units.
Single-phase compressors of up to 2.5 hp can operate from a 240v 13 amp power supply, except the new 3.0 hp low current models. 3.0 hp and higher must run from a 240v 30 amps supply. When possible, choose large air compressors that you require to allow for expansion.
