I had better begin by explaining the title of this post, in case, ahem, you are too young to remember.
Never Mind… was a TV sitcom broadcast from 1967 – 71. It was about two tailors, one Catholic and the other Jewish, and featured some great actors who would go on to become well-known faces of comedy and drama. It would never get made today – far too un-PC – but it was a huge success at the time. The title worked its way into the culture of the day as a saying referring to all kinds of things, some, as you might imagine, more polite than others… I'm borrowing it now to talk not about cloth but about books.
Something odd has happened to my reading habits, a change that crept up on me while I wasn't paying attention. Now, as I'm scanning the shelves in a bookshop or library for my next fix, I'm not only waiting for an author's name, an intriguing title or a fetching cover to jump out at me, I'm also considering, a bit shame-facedly, the physical properties of the book itself.
How much space does it take up on the shelf? Has the publisher had the luxury of fitting several lines of large-font text on the binding? How heavy does it feel in my hand?
In other words, how long is it?
Because therein lies the rub. If the book still appeals I'll flick to the end to check that appearances are not deceptive and it does indeed run past the 400 page mark or thereabouts, and if it does, then back it goes.
It's a nuisance really because I may be missing out on some cracking reads but even if the story's truly gripping and the writing pacy, by the time I get beyond 350 pages or so I'm just wishing it would be over. If it's an actual book, I'm constantly checking the depth of the remaining pages for signs of serious thinning out. If it's an ebook, I become weirdly obsessed with the little slider at the bottom of the screen and am stupidly relieved when it gets to 80% and I know I'm on the homeward straight.
Actually there's some literary merit to be drawn from this because all too often I come across books which are woefully over-written and make me want to shout 'You've told the story, now stop!' to the author, but that's another topic entirely.
So why is this happening? Is it pure physical stamina I'm lacking due to the short, dark days of winter, or a sharp dip in concentration brought about by my ageing brain cells? Could it be that there are so many other distractions my attention span has shrunk faster than a woolly jumper on a boil wash?
Or am I, subconsciously, simply following a trend?
To name-drop shamelessly here, I was lucky enough to meet the eminent novelist Fay Weldon recently, and the first thing she said was that readers today want short books with short chapters; quick, satisfying bites they can devour along with their Pret sandwich and take-out Americano. She was generalising, of course, but it's easy to understand the logic.
As an aspiring author I see this as a gift; I can at last set aside my worry that 80,000 words do not a novel make because, after all, it is all about the quality and not the width.
As a reader, I don't have to feel guilty that there are lovely books on my own shelves that remain unread purely because of their length. There's The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton which has no less than 645 pages, and the print's not that large either. Yet it's not so long ago I sailed through The House at Riverton by the same author which has 599 pages with no trouble at all. My collection of Catherine Alliott's novels (such pretty covers!) all stretch almost to the 500 page mark but I suspect if I re-read them now I'd find them about a hundred pages too long – no disrespect to CA intended. I'm dying to have a go at Jeffrey Archer, as it were, as I've never read any of his and people tell me he writes great stories but the one I have is near enough 600 pages, so dear Jeffrey will have to wait a while longer for my verdict.
By now you might be thinking, why doesn't she just read short stories and be done with it? Strange as it may seem, my tastes aren't working their way towards those, and yes, I may read the odd one that draws me in for some reason, but generally speaking I'm not a great fan of the short story, which is probably why I don't find them easy to write either.
Novellas, then? Call me prejudiced but there's something about the word 'novella' that I find distinctly off-putting, although in reality I'm sure there are some excellent reads in this format by some brilliant writers. The novel's little sister may be sweet but she's not what I need right now either.
Luckily there are plenty of books of just the right width to keep me happy and if all else fails I can re-read some old favourites. Joanna Trollope tends to nudge the 400 page mark but the large print keeps them turning fast. Deborah Moggach hovers gracefully around the upper 300s and some of hers, like the hugely enjoyable In the Dark, are even shorter. When God was a Rabbit by Sarah Winman has 335 pages – now there's an example of the perfect novel if ever there was one. And then there are absolute gems like Colm Toibin's Brooklyn and Zoe Heller's Notes on a Scandal, each less than 250 pages.
'She's going through a phase,' as my mother used to say, all mothers, in fact. Well, phase or trend, it looks like I'm stuck with it for the time being. But that's fine because I've never fancied War and Peace anyway.

This thesis focuses on the performace of pipeline converters and their integration on mixed signal processes. With this in mind, a 12-b 50MHz pipeline ADC has been realized in a 0.6um digital CMOS process. The architecture is based on a 1.5-b per stage structure utilizing digital correction for the first six stages. A differeintial switched capacitor circuit consisting of a cascode gm-c op-amp with 250MHz of bandwidth is used for sampling and amplification in each stage. Comparators with an internal offset voltage are used to implement the decision levels required for the 1.5-b per stage structure. Correction of the pipeline is accomplished by measuring the offset and gain of each of the first six stages using subsequent stages. The measured values are used to calculate digtal values the compensate for the inaccuracies of the analog pipeline. Corrected digital values for each stage are stored in the pipeline and used to create corrected output codes. Errors caused by measuring the first six stages using uncalibrated stages are minimized by using extra switching circuitry during calibration.

It's so weird to reach home when there is still light.
Able to go grocery shopping because of holiday; supermarket closed because of holiday.
Due to the schedule for the last couple of months, I've just been cycling the easy down-slope route home and taking the bus to work.
Thanks …

Contributed by Dr. Keying Ding and Dr. Gary White, faculty advisors and Club President Tim Chitpanya, Middle Tennessee State University
Our chapter's interest in green chemistry began in the fall of 2006 with a seminar at a club meeting. In his presentation "Green Chemistry: Bringing the Real World into the Chemistry Labs" Dr. Gautam Bhattacharyya from Clemson University introduced us to the principles of green chemistry. After the seminar he led a workshop where we learned about the activities in which we could participate that would give us Green Chemistry Chapter status. Since that time our green student chapter activities have included green chemistry demonstrations, educating the public using different forms of media and inviting outside speakers to give seminars.
The source for one of our chemical demonstrations "The Greening of the Blue Bottle" appeared in an article in the Journal of Chemical Education. We brought this demonstration to a local middle school to illustrate how waste could be minimized in a chemical demonstration.
At the 2011 annual homecoming parade the club assembled a golf cart float with a green chemistry theme. Club members on the float distributed flyers which described the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.
At a club meeting in March 2015, Dr. Keying Ding, one of our faculty advisors presented a green chemistry demonstration that used super critical CO2 to extract D-Limonene from citrus fruits. By creating a pressurized environment, the D-Limonene was separated from the rest of the fruit and collected into the bottom of the test tube. Students learned that this same method can be used as a more environmentally friendly solvent for dry cleaning as compared to more traditional solvents such as hydrocarbons.
On Earth Day 2015, a green chemistry poster was set up in the main atrium of our new Science Building. It included information on bio-renewable and bio-degradable polymers that can be used in everyday items. The students also presented some bio-renewable plastic ware made from polylactic acid (PLA). Members talked to those who were interested and aimed to spread awareness about these new products. By spreading awareness of these biodegradable products, people become more aware of the impact they have when they dispose of items that do not decompose.
This year the Chemistry club invited Dr. Chris Jones from Georgia Tech as the 19th Annual Golden Goggles guest speaker. The "Golden Goggles" lecture has become one of our club's signature events. Well-known speakers, usually from higher education, share timely topics; past speakers have discussed therapeutic cloning, herbal remedies and green chemistry. We invited Dr. Jones to share his great knowledge on green chemistry and technology development for CO2 (carbon dioxide) separation and conversion. This event was open to the local ACS section and community.
There are several faculty members at MTSU chemistry department being actively involved in green chemistry research. Such involvement indeed broadens up their research and funding opportunities. For example, Dr. Ding's group is working on development of earth abundant metal catalysts for green organic transformations. As a chemistry club co-advisor, she has been encouraging students to participate in green chemistry outreach and research activities. She's been successful on getting several internal sustainable campus fee funds and a NSF grant which supports her green chemistry activities. One chemistry club student (Xyan Aguilar) is working in Ding's group on one of these projects.
We strongly agree that student chapter's activities can encourage the incorporation of green chemistry into the curriculum. Dr. Ding is planning to open a new green chemistry course in the near future to undergraduate students. We will not only teach green chemistry principles, but also encourage students to participate in outreach and research activities.

I have a point shapefile that I am trying to add to a file geodatabase with 1118 point features. Every couple days I've gotten an updated shapefile, so my process has been append it to my file geodatabase and then delete duplicates, which has worked great until I got to about 1000 points, then I worked around it by merging instead of appending and just making a new file, but I would rather not have to continue doing it that way.
I'm getting error 000594 and 595, it says the tool was run with warnings and I still have the same 1118 points, with no new points from the shapefile that I'm trying to append.
The suddenness of the issue popping up lead me to believe it was a memory issue, but unless I'm mistaken, my 1000 points are well within the size limit of a file geodatabase. File geodatabase size and name limits—Help | ArcGIS Desktop

Nick McCready found out last night just how much his South Carroll coach, Jeff Alisauckas, thought about his work in goal. An acrobatic effort that included 10 saves, earned the team's first game ball of the season.
It came in the wake of a 10-5 South Carroll victory at Liberty and brought the Cavaliers an undisputed county championship.
Last year, Westminster had ended a 10-year title run by going unbeaten in the league, but this time around South Carroll (7-1, 10-4), with the win, erased the Owls hopes for a share of the crown, as they finished 6-2 in the league.
Both teams will go right back to work this afternoon to prepare for their next "season," which begins tomorrow. In the Class 3A-4A West regional, South Carroll will be home against Quince Orchard, and Liberty (5-3, 7-5) will be at Churchill.
While McCready and Greg Will led the defense, Andrew Bettis was on target at the other end with four goals and an assist. His goal at the end of the half broke a 4-4 tie and sent the visitors ahead to stay, and he opened the second half scoring with just 29 seconds gone.
When Pat Wynne and Ryan Wynne ran the streak to four successive scores and an 8-4 margin after three minutes 25 seconds, the outcome was all but assured. This time it was South Carroll's game.
"We won the faceoffs [Mike Rabinovitz had 11 for the Cavs] and put the ball in the net. The offense took the pressure off me," McCready said. "Last time, clears were a problem, but we practiced them all week, and here somebody was open all the time. And I was really focused."
A week ago, Liberty had shocked the Cavs with a 4-2 victory based on patience and making all the right moves against a South Carroll team that never found the right gear.
"We ran our offense the way were are supposed to, and made better decisions than the last time, especially on shot selection," Alisauckas said while nimbly avoiding most of the traditional victory bath. "We're going to have to do something about the penalties, though, because we were a man down too much."

Growing a female marijuana plant does not stop during its pollination stage since, for the growers, the harvest time of the buds is the most fulfilling event in their course of growing marijuana. The cultivation of female marijuana varies depending on the strain and the growth method applied to the weed. Listed below are just the logical ways of harvesting female marijuana.
The best time to cultivate female marijuana is when it is dark. The condition of the atmosphere during the harvesting of female marijuana is vital. The best part of the day to harvest your female marijuana buds is during the early morning when there is no visible light. If you are an indoor grower of female marijuana, the harvesting time is suggested to be done after a few hours of female marijuana being exposed to total darkness.
The harvesting during the condition of a dark atmosphere is needed since this will make your female marijuana regain its original THC or tetrahydrocannabinol content which is decreased during the presence of day and light due to the contribution in the food making for the weed.
You can harvest your female marijuana earlier than usual. The early cultivation of your female marijuana can be performed considering that thirty percent of the buds are already ripe and ready for harvest. Growers who practice the early harvesting method believes that this is the best way since it has the freshest amount of THC.
You can also do the late harvesting of your female marijuana. When fifty percent of your female marijuana buds are ripened, this is the time for late harvesting. Growers who practice this believes that the maturity of the buds will give them a high THC level when smoked.
Do not over delay the harvest of your female marijuana buds. The longer you delay the harvest of your female marijuana buds, the tendency is that the THC level will decrease and the buds will decay.
Be careful in getting the buds from female marijuana. The proper way of harvesting your female marijuana buds is to use sharp blades. First, you have to cut the stalks. Do not pull or bend the stalks when harvesting. Second, store the stalk in a cool and dry place. Hang it upside-down to dry. Third, assure that your stalks are dry by bending them when you hear a snap, it means that it is dry already. For the last step, lock the dried buds in a zip-lock and store it in a dark cool place but not inside the fridge. This is so because it will help in the maintenance of the THC level.

With the release of Pong and the Atari 2600 in 1972 and 1977 respectively, video games have been a part of peoples' childhoods in many ways. They have been around for over 40
years, evolving from a yellow circle eating orbs in a maze full of ghosts, such as Pac-Man, to more realistic looking environments, including Last of Us, and from a simple joy-pad, like the Atari 2600, to using body motion controls, such as the Xbox Kinect. With the market for games growing more and more as the years go by, we start to see more advancements with the technology including the introduction to Virtual Reality. But are we going that one step too far with this new piece of technology.
In case you don't play video games, Virtual Reality (or VR) is a device that allows a user to be immersed in a completely new realm where they can interact with the environment around them. This gives them a new perspective on videos, games and other platforms of media.
So how does this effect gamers, and especially young gamers, of today? Well, if this concept becomes popular, then children might become more violent due to first-person shooters being implemented in VR. It begs the debate of when do we draw the line between the fourth wall standard gaming and breaching that fourth wall with VR?
Video sharing juggernaut, YouTube, has developed a 360o platform where users can watch their favourite videos using a VR headset and be part of the video they are watching. PlayStation has also developed a VR element to some of their games including Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Batman: Arkham VR. PC Gaming also has its fair share of Virtual Reality headsets including Oculus' Rift and HTC's Vive as well as games including Subnautica, Tilt Brush by Google and Job Simulator.
However, some developers want to push to have first person shooter games, like Call of Duty, VR compatible. While this might seem like a win for those developers, parents argue that it will make children more violent. On the Call of Duty Blog page, publisher Activision posted that the CoD: Infinite Warfare DLC (Downloadable Content) named Jackal Assault is available for all those who own a PlayStation 4, not just a PSVR (PlayStation Virtual Reality) headset.
So how does VR work? When you enter Virtual Reality, your mind does too. Irish YouTuber, JackSepticEye, played a game called Richies Plank Experience in VR, and the results speak for themselves.
Warning: Course Language in video
YouTube Video here by JackSepticEye showing Virtual Reality in use and the psychological part of it where your mind interprets what is happening (time code 1:15 – 6:00)
Virtual Reality works in the mind by building on past experiences in the real world and using the same laws of physics to transfer that same information. If VR is not done right, you can sometimes feel nauseated while wearing the headset. Check out this link.
But by the same token, laws implemented in VR can transfer the information in the virtual world into the real world. This is why children could become more violent as a result of these first-person shooters being implemented in VR. For a lot of parents and carers, it is hard to monitor their children with these on PC's due to PC game selling platform, Steam.
Although, there is a way to overcome this, parents and carers. Think of a video game like a movie. If you wouldn't let your child watch the movie, would you let them play the game?
What are your thoughts on VR? Let us know by commenting below.

Dr. Richard Harris was on vacation in Thailand when he was recruited to assist in the attempts to rescue the Wild Boars soccer team who were trapped in the cave for a little over 10 days.
According to BBC News, Dr. Richard Harris, known to his friends as Harry, stayed with the boys for three days in the cave and assisted in planning their rescue. It was through Harris' assessment that the weakest of the boys trapped were to be let out first followed by the rest.
Risking his own life, Harris made the trip into the subterranean cavern on Sunday, July 8 to check on the boys. He is believed to have been one of the last rescuers out of the cave.
Harris is known across the world for his cave rescue expertise. The doctor, who works for the South Australian Ambulance Service's aeromedical evacuation service MedStar, joined the efforts for the rescue mission after being identified by British divers and "the very highest levels" of the Thai government.
Harris is an experienced diver and also an underwater photographer, and has completed several cave-diving expeditions in Australia, New Zealand, Christmas Island, and China.
In 2011, Harris experienced tragedy when one of his caving diving missions involved the retrieval of the body of one of his friends, Agnes Milowka, who ran out of air during a cave dive in South Australia.
Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop stated that the doctor was known for his work on medical assistance teams and their work during natural disasters in the Pacific region.
"[He] is an extraordinary Australian and he has certainly made a big difference to the rescue effort here in Thailand," she commented. "He was an integral part of the rescue attempt."
Harris is known by many of his friends as a family man. Sue Crowe, one his friends, said, "He is brilliant with children, and he would have made sure that they were prepared in the best possible way from a cave-diving perspective…He would have been the perfect person to support them."
Harris received an outpour of gratitude on social media after his efforts and involvement in the mission. Many called for him to be named Australian of the Year, one of the country's high civic honors. The Australian government has confirmed there will be some formal recognition.
Relief and celebration were soon cut short for the doctor. After the rescue mission, Harris received news that his father had passed away the same night he rescued the last of the boys.
Dr. Andrew Pearce from MedStar stated, "This is clearly a time of grief for the Harris family, magnified by the physical and emotional demands of being a part of this week's highly complex and ultimately success rescue operation…He will be coming home soon and taking some well-earned time off to be with his family."

Re: Design ideas?Lighthouse24 Oct 21, 2007 5:24 PM (in response to MetroGal)Hey, MG, I'm intrigued with your idea (posted comments on a couple of other questions relating to this), so I wonder if you might share a little more about the location you're considering -- not necessarily your city or anything personal -- just something about the neighborhood, nearby attractions, and demographics of the area or people you expect to serve?
Re: Design ideas?MetroGal Oct 21, 2007 5:34 PM (in response to Lighthouse24)
The demographic that I am trying to target is the urban professional, college student, and the yuppie that lives in the area. There's lots of urban renewal going on, and I do not see any drink or food establishments for these populations, especially the yuppie who now lives in this gentrified area. So, in terms of rent I maybe able to go beyond a stand, but actually have some decent square footage with seating etc. I also like your idea about potentially partnering with a complimentry business. Would love to hear any design ideas that would attract and satisfy all these three populations.
Re: Design ideas?Mozart Oct 21, 2007 5:24 PM (in response to MetroGal)I live in California and have been to a few bubble tea shops. About 5 or so years ago they began popping up in communities that had a large Asian population. Delicious! I think it's great that you are thinking about the interior design of the place since most of them that I have frequented are just plain vanilla establishments that aren't very welcoming at all. You basically get your drink and go. If there are chairs & tables, it's all very basic. I don't know what competition there is on the East Coast, but on the West Coast, by putting in extra effort to make it visually appealing, you may attract more customers. I also noticed that the noise from the blenders can be quite bothersome. This may impact the hot tea drinkers who maybe looking for peace & quiet. If you can do anything to minimize noise I would do so.1 of 1 people found this helpful
Re: Design ideas?LUCKIEST Oct 21, 2007 5:34 PM (in response to MetroGal)Hi again. How soon do you plan on starting and opening this tea place??
Will there be construction involved?? Have you found the location??
Do you have a BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLAN??
Do you have an Accountant?? Lawyer?? FUNDS??
Good luck, LUCKIEST
Re: Design ideas?Lighthouse24 Oct 21, 2007 10:06 PM (in response to MetroGal)
Most of the bubble tea shops I've seen in the U.S. were "to go" places. The few with actual retail space and seating were not too impressive in my opinion (Mozart said the same thing in this and another post). They were so plain that you could change the signs and menus and open a sub shop in the same space the next week. The bar for decorating is set pretty low!
The busiest one I've seen was actually the ugliest. An old warehouse with exposed wiring and little more than a long stainless steel bar and second-hand barstools - in fact, I think it was previously a daiquiri bar. But it was surrounded by nightclubs within walking distance of a major university, so it became a huge "between classes" and "after clubs" meeting place, as well as a place for non-drinkers and underage students to hang-out. Location and uniqueness (i.e., no competition) had the place packed.
I've seen two shops that appeared to have really worked to create an atmosphere:
The more I think about it, decor just doesn't seem to be a major factor in the success or failure of the shops I've seen. Location, product quality, and service are what seem to really matter. New shops almost always get reviewed by local newspapers and college publications, and reports of rudeness or bad service can be deadly. Any decor that allows the clientele you want to congregate and feel at ease in your store will probably work -- so long as the design doesn't take away money that would be better spent on something else, and so long as the layout you create facilitates good service and an enjoyable experience.
I hope this was in some way helpful. I'd really like to see this happen for you!
Re: Design ideas?DomainDiva Oct 22, 2007 9:51 AM (in response to MetroGal)All of the ideas here are good but your new place needs to be a place that people will want to be...like Starbucks. Clustered seating that makes conversation easy and wi-fi are the first things I look at when trying to find a place to go no matter what the name on the front door.1 of 1 people found this helpful
Re: Design ideas?jknodell Aug 4, 2008 11:28 PM (in response to DomainDiva)This is an older post and perhaps you have solved all of your design concerns, but if not, I am an experienced retail
designer and when it comes time to developing what the store looks
like, developing a logo, name, brand, etc. I can help bring it to
take a look at my online portfolio and contact me for more details. www.coroflot.com/jknodell
Good luck!
Re: Design ideas?phillyc22 Sep 29, 2008 8:44 AM (in response to MetroGal)Hi MetroGal,
I live on the east coast and i am also thinking about opening a bubble tea shop in my area. I am just starting out and doing some research now. I'm just wondering how is your planning process going and where do you even start? I have a full time job and its hard to get a PT job at a local bubble tea place to get some experience. I am thinking just buying some ingredients and try it out at home. Did you have any experience working at a bubble tea shop?

Does anybody have any ideas for what my tea place should look & feel like? I will have bubble tea (it's like a smoothie with tapioca pearls that you drink with a big straw) & I am also considering selling hot tea as well - - since I am on the East Coast, when it snows, etc. not sure if my sales of my bubble tea will drop so I want to make sure I offer hot beverages as well. A friend of mine said that I should also sell light snacks as well. I am in the process of looking at spaces for lease and was wondering if anybody has any design ideas? Or any design ideas of what to avoid? Thank you in advance.

Working to make the Park its best...
Parks, especially one as large and diverse as Cape Henlopen State Park, require constant attention and effort. We assess, plan and organize regular events to help keep the Park clean, beautiful and in good condition.
Monthly Trail Days
One of the most important activities we undertake is aimed at keeping the Park's trails clear and safe. On "Trail Days", Friends and other volunteers engage in regular trail cleaning, clearing maintenance and other projects..
Trail Days are held on the 2nd. Saturday of every month, weather permitting. Next dates October 10th. & November 14th.
National Trails Day was cancelled this year, but will return June 5th. 2021
National Trails Day is an annual event held on the first Saturday in June. It is part of a Nationwide event designed to broaden participation in such activities.

To participate, simply show up at the Hawkwatch Picnic Pavilion in the Park at 9 am on the first Saturday in June. There, volunteers are split into groups to work on the various projects.
At noon on National Trail Day, the Village Improvement Association
generously provides lunch for everyone at the Picnic Pavilion.

Our Other Services
In server colocation, the server remains the property of the client organization but is maintained, managed, and monitored by the MSP or cloud service provider. The client/organization accesses the server over the Internet or on a VPN connection. The key objective behind server colocation is to utilize enhanced IT support services on key IT infrastructure/servers without incurring heavy operational costs. In addition, to support services, servers are also provided with IP, bandwidth, physical security, power, and backup services to the colocated server.
It is similar to dedicated server hosting, where a dedicated server is hosted in the MSP facility/data center, but differs in the fact that the server is provided by the customer/organization.

Fans of The Full Monty know what Scottish actor Robert Carlyle looks like, from head to toe and his features don't exactly remind us of Adolf Hitler. But for some reason, at least three directors have courted him to play Germany's dictator. CBS finally won him over to star in Hitler: The Rise of Evil (Part Two airs tomorrow at 9 pm/ET), though Carlyle seems disturbed by the Fuhrer connection.
"I don't think I have a resemblance to him," says Carlyle, who honed his maniac schtick as Begbie in Trainspotting. "Perhaps in terms of physical weight and height I'm the same, but you can be made to look that way."
The Hitler makeup team added a prosthetic nose and cheeks, a new hairline and blue contacts to complete the physical transformation. The results, he says, were chilling. "It was difficult not to look at that face and read something into it," he recalls. "My wife came over [to the Prague set] for just a week, which was probably good. It's not the most attractive costume to be in when you haven't seen your wife for a couple of months."
Recreating the personality of Hitler depicted here from childhood through 1934 proved tricky. "I don't think the movie humanizes him," Carlyle explains. "There was obviously nothing [about him] with which I could identify, so you have to look outside for more peripheral things. One of these things for me was his passion for opera, for Wagner... so I started to listen to the stuff. I could see the effect that these heroic German legends could have on him.
"It was very difficult to shake [the character] off at night," he adds. "I would go to the hotel, lie in the bath and listen to Wagner to keep me in the mindset. [But] there were a couple of times where I really wanted to let this guy go."

Grogarry is one of the famous Machair lochs of South Uist. It lies behind Grogarry Lodge, on the Machair - hence why it is called a Machair loch.
The Machair is a strip of land close to the sea, where the soil consists of a large percentage of crushed shells. Therefore any lochs on this land are alkaline, and have rich feeding for the fish that inhabit them.
The fish are often beautifully marked, and more importantly, tend to grow quite large due to the abundant food supply.
Over quite a few years, I stayed in Grogarry lodge as part of a party of twelve anglers for a week at the end of August. Although we were mainly there for the sea trout fishing, usually a few members of the party would have a go on Grogarry at some point. Although the fishing could be classed as a "bit dour", fish in the 2 to 3lb class were caught most years.
For information on fishing Grogarry, visit this site: http://www.southuistfishing.com/permits-boats/machair-loch-permits/

#BizTrends2020: 4 wine trends to look out for in 2020
Kristen Duff Gosia Young
Here's our round-up of wine trends for 2020:
1. Regionality
Having completed our shared thesis on location branding in regions such as Champagne and Burgundy, we've always been a little dumbfounded at why the Cape approaches winemaking in such an 'each wine farm is an island' approach. After all, isn't the whole greater than the sum of its parts?
Luckily, there seems to be a shift in the me-myself-and-I viewpoint, with industry players such as Wade Bales pushing for a focus on regionality.
In an attempt to do as the French do, Wade Bales' latest project, the Regional Series, aims to identify SA's premium wine-producing regions and shine a spotlight on the style which best defines that specific area. Starting on his home turf in Constantia, Bales invited winemakers from all the estates that were members of the Constantia Wine Route to produce one Constantia White Blend.
His second project, in which top Stellenbosch producers were invited to collaborate around a Cabernet Sauvignon, has just been awarded five stars from Platter's Wine Guide (one of only six Cabernets to do so in this edition).
View this post on Instagram
First-ever Stellenbosch collaboration scoops a coveted John Platter 5 stars - Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2017. - Second release in the Regional Series. (First was the Constantia White 2018). - Collaboration between 5 iconic Stellenbosch producers. - Abrie Beeslaar @kanonkopwineestate Jose Conde @starkconde Louis Strydom @ernieelswines Morne Vrey @delairegraff Nico Van Der Merwe @nicovandermerwewines - Release date Monday 11th November 2019. - @stellenboschcabernet @stellwineroute @stellenboschtourism @sbosvisio - #southafricanwine #platterguide #platterswineguide #wineonaplatter #platter2020 #fivestars
Bales is not alone in his goal as a project led by André Morgenthal of Old Vines recently identified and helped create an entirely new region called the Cape Agulhas Wine Triangle. After years of being stand-alone wine farms dotted around the coast, Morgenthal is helping to develop a sense of community and region-specific wine style to, quite literally, put the region on the map.
This rise in regionality is encouraging as, internationally, there's often some confusion about where South African wine is positioned. While our wines might get noteworthy accolades, there is also a jack-of-all-trades perception that needs to change in order to increase the overall perceived value of our wine.
2. Vegan Wine
First, there was organic wine. Then biodynamic. And now, vegan wine seems to be the next big thing.
Let's begin by asking the question: How do you make a vegan wine? In case you don't know, in order to make wines clear and bright, many wineries use animal-derived fining agents. The most popular of these are milk (casein), eggs (albumen), fish (isinglass) and even gelatin.
Whether you knew this or not, this limits the number of wines available to vegans and vegetarians.
Until August of this year, no vegan wine certification even existed. Until Spier Wine Estate made headlines, being titled as the first winery in the world to receive Control Union Vegan Standard certification by the accredited certifying body Control Union.
While this is still a hotly-contested topic among winemakers, the truth is that by being transparent and committing to a greener, animal-friendly future, wineries can open themselves up to a previously inaccessible market segment.
3. Old Vines
"How do we keep Old Vines sexy?" was Old Vine Project manager André Morgethal's recent question to Jancis Robinson, one of the world's most renowned wine experts. Her answer? "Internationalise it."
It's a movement spearheaded by legendary vineyard manager Rosa Kruger, who spent years painstakingly mapping out SA's old vineyards and working to have them protected. Now, together with Morgenthal and project coordinator Nadia Hefer, the team has made incredible strides in doing so, including the introduction of a bottleneck seal to certify wines produced from old vines (35 years or older).
View this post on Instagram
There's something deeply compelling about an old vine, even just on a visual level, in the way its gnarly, weather-beaten trunk looks like a caricature from a Tim Burton movie. But do old vines produce better wine? We caught up with @oldvineproject Project Manager André Morgenthal to get his take. Link in bio + on the latest edition of @port2port stories �� . . . . . #wine #winetasting #winelover #winecountry #winestagram #wineblogger #wineblog #glouglou #winegeek #winelife #winereview #womenwholovewine #winetime #wineoclock #winesofinstagram #wineoftheday #sommlife #pourthis #winelife #wineporn #fortheloveofwine #instawine #wineo #winefolly #oldvines #oldvineproject
But why does this matter? Well, not only are these old vines part of our national heritage, but they are often known to produce exceptionally interesting and complex wines that have the potential to elevate SA's international standing. Old vineyards are often threatened due to declining yields, making them less profitable for farmers to keep in the ground, but the Old Vine Project has brought attention and interest to the category, resulting in these wines being able to fetch higher prices and truly be valued for what they are.
Expect to hear a lot more about the Old Vine Project in 2020, especially as the project is rolled out internationally.
4. Canned Wines
The South African wine industry has long resisted alternative forms of packaging, but it would appear that the humble can is finally having its moment in the sun. Canned wine is a rapidly growing category in markets like Canada, the US and Scandinavia, and is beginning to creep onto the scene in SA with brands like Ben Wren and Uncanny Wine.
View this post on Instagram
THAT'S UNCANNY Wine in a can? It's a thing. Last week Uncanny, South Africa's first certified wines in a can launched - a premium, proudly South African product that comes in a single serve portion of 250ml. Why, we hear you asking? Because they CAN! No, we joke. It's because it's environmentally friendly. Owner Arnold Vlok explains that the significantly lighter packaging goes a long way towards reducing the product's carbon footprint. It's easy to stack and can be recycled. Now for the question: how does it taste? No one wants to taste tin in their wine. But much like beer and cool drink, the wine doesn't take on the taste of the can. For now, while our views are still out on the jury for this one, we can't deny that this is certainly making wine more accessible and fun - and that can only be a good thing in our books! ��
While perhaps not the most romantic form of packaging, the can makes sense on a number of levels in terms of convenience, cost, size and its environmental impact – not only can it be recycled, but it's also lightweight, reducing its carbon footprint during transport.
While we're unlikely to find Paul Sauer in a can any time soon, it's a great packaging choice for everyday drinking wines.

It sauntered up to the Palace just as the doors were opened for paying visitors in the morning, jumped up onto the cash desk to allow itself to be stroked briefly, then headed on inside. Every so often as we came to a fresh courtyard or open space in the building, we could spot it stalking invisible prey.

There are women who thrive on their physical strength and for this they tend to choose physically demanding jobs. They have different tastes in working tools - some are satisfied with a mere hatchet in their hand while others are excited by the sound of an electric saw. Does this suggest the birth of some strange new group? Not a chance. These women are firefighters of the San Francisco Fire Department.
They take pride in their occupation, traditionally closed to women due to an assumed lack of courage or physical strength. The fire department is a microcosm of a society ruled by heterosexual white males. Whether it is inside or outside the workplace, these women are forced to endure disparagement and disadvantage. Their struggles to fight all social restraints and to challenge their own abilities are truly the shining point of this film. The highlights of this documentary are its sharp-edged interviews and compact structure. (Nam In-young)

ART lovers and shoppers alike were left wondering what was to be uncovered in the gardens of Middlesbrough's mima.
The gallery was yesterday taking delivery of what looked like two giant aeroplane engines as part of a new outdoor installation planned for mima gardens.
The piece by artist Roger Hiorns will be based at mima for one year, having moved from Edinburgh's Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.
The artist, whose next project involves burying a jumbo jet, personally selected the Teesside art space to showcase his work.
The two mammoth pieces were set in place by a crane on site.

Gore's Surprising Act of Leadership Against Iraq War
by Robert Kuttner
AL GORE, remarkably, has stepped into a leadership vacuum and said several things that most congressional Democrats may well believe but have been too fearful to utter.
Gore, speaking Monday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, warned that unilateral action against Saddam Hussein would ''severely damage'' the more urgent war on terrorism and ''weaken our ability to lead the world.'' Gore declared that the president has turned the broad reservoir of good will for America ''into a deep sense of misgiving and even hostility.'' In a pointed dig at President George W. Bush's go-it-alone cowboy rhetoric, he added, ''If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize the posse first.''
Now this is extremely interesting.
For starters, it is out of character for the cautious and generally hawkish former vice president. Gore has lately returned to politics, sort of, but until now he has avoided frontally attacking Bush. He has at last chosen to do so, at a moment when the president, swaddled in the flag, is widely seen as beyond criticism.
Did Gore do his own polling and discover what many members of Congress suspect based on their mail - that public support for this war is seemingly broad but very shallow? Was he trying to outflank potential rival Senator John Kerry, who has won praise for a thoughtful critique of Bush's policy? Did Gore, who often made abrupt shifts during the 2000 campaign, just impulsively decide to throw a ''Hail Mary'' pass? Or, perhaps, was he seized with an attack of principle?
It almost doesn't matter. The party's standard bearer for 2000 - who got more votes than George W. Bush - has now made it safe for Democrats to express serious doubts about this reckless war. Gore, perhaps in spite of himself, has actually exercised that rarest of qualities in contemporary politics - leadership.
One can accuse Gore of many things, but being soft on defense is not one of them. He was one of a handful of Senate Democrats to support George Bush senior on the Gulf War in 1991. The fact is, public opinion is still fluid on Iraq. And if other Democrats follow Gore's lead, this could be a turning point.
Jim Dyke, a spokesman for the Republican National Committee, declared, rather lamely, that to him, Gore sounded more like ''a political hack than a presidential candidate.'' But that just won't wash. Serious questions about the wisdom of Bush's Iraq policy are being raised publicly by most of our allies and privately by many of our generals and even by some Republicans. Bush's Iraq strategy is cynically designed to change the subject - actually two subjects: terrorism and the economy. It immediately takes the spotlight off our less than stellar antiterrorism crusade and our shaky success in Afghanistan, and it makes it almost impossible for Democrats to wage the 2002 midterm election on pocketbook issues.
The strategy has deftly whipsawed Democrats. Some, such as the House Democratic leader, Dick Gephardt, and the Senate majority leader, Tom Daschle, want to get a quick, slightly toned down resolution of support for the president behind them and then go back to talking about the economy (if anyone will listen). That way Bush can't pillory them for being unpatriotic.
But others see the nation pursuing a disastrous course. Many Democrats in Congress say privately (and a few publicly) that they've heard nothing in the confidential intelligence briefings to indicate that Saddam Hussein is more of a threat now than in years past. Congressional Democrats got a closed-door briefing from a worried and extremely skeptical Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter's hawkish national security adviser. This morning Democrats are scheduled to have a another confidential briefing from one of the party's foreign policy eminences, Richard Holbrooke, who is said to harbor grave doubts.
If the Democrats can work up their nerve to schedule some hearings before a resolution of war is gaveled through, they and the American public will hear more.
I've never been a great fan of Gore. He kept changing his mind so often in the campaign that he lost a race for the presidency that he should have won. He was oddly AWOL last year when Bush was claiming a mandate for extremist policies that he never earned. Gore is often described as one of the most ambitious, calculating, and poll-driven people in American politics.
But even if he did the right thing partly for the wrong reasons, this has to be one of Gore's finest moments. Now let's see if his party follows his brave lead.

text: (Eds: Adding more details) New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) With the opposition in disarray, the support of regional parties in Rajya Sabha on Monday aided the smooth adoption of two resolutions for scrapping Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and passage of a bill to reorganise the state into two Union Territories. The support of regional parties like BSP, BJD, AIADMK, YSRCP and AAP helped the government in clearing the Rajya Sabha hurdle easily. However, the government faced some embarrassment as BJP's Bihar ally JD-U walked out to underline its opposition to the decision. While the BJP has 78 members in Rajya Sabha, it also got the support of AIADMK (11), BJD (7), BSP (4), Shiv Sena (3), AAP (3), Shiromani Akali Dal (3), YSR-CP (2), RPI-A, NPF, LJP, BPF and AGP (one each) and four nominated and some independent members. In Lok Sabha, while the BJP has 303 members, it has the support of YSR-CP (22), Shiv Sena (18), BJD (12), BSP (10), LJSP (5) and SAD (2) and some smaller regional parties that will help in smooth passage of the resolutions and the bill to be taken up on Tuesday. Home Minister Amit Shah has already sought the permission of the house to move them. Though the government does not enjoy a majority in the upper house, the support of regional players helped in the passage of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill 2019 and the resolution to abolish Article 370 after the President issued a notification in this regard. Rajya Sabha also approved the the Jammu and Kashmir Reservation (Second Amendment) Bill, 2019, to extend 10 pc reservation to economically weaker sections in J&K. Both the Bills were passed by voice vote. The opposition, however, sought division of votes ahead of taking up the J&K Reorganisation Bill, with 125 members voting in favour of the Bill and 61 against it. One member abstained from voting in division. The TMC and NCP walked out ahead of voting. BJP's other allies like Shiv Sena, Shiromani Akali Dal, AGP and BPF have supported the legislations. Various opposition parties like the Congress, TMC, DMK, NCP, RJD, CPI, CPI-M and RJD were opposed to the legislations. These parties would not be able to stall the passage of the bill now. The AAP also lent support to the bill after its leader Arvind Kejriwal tweeted welcoming the decisions on Jammu and Kashmir. The Aam Aadmi Party has three members in Rajya Sabha. Opposition members in Rajya Sabha sought to stall the passage of the bill with vociferous protests. They squatted in the well of the House while raising slogans. Some members of the SP were also sitting in the well, while its leader Ram Gopal Yadav was in his place when the bill was being opposed. However, later the opposition members ended their protest and started participating in the discussion. PTI SKC RT

There are positives and negatives in a Partnership Agreement
The Minster of Industries Commerce Rishad Bathiudeen, has said that there are similarities in the products manufactured within the SAARC region and does not enhance our export earnings. It is true with regards to products, but the service sector which has a competitive edge within the SAARC needs promotion to compete within the region. Sri Lanka can promote stable outsourcing under a Partnership Agreement with the neighbors. As once expressed by the Minister of Power Energy our professionals would benefit immensely under a partnership agreement for service exports with India. We have the best service providers who can compete in the Region in Architecture, Hospitality Management and Educational Services having exposure for nearly 500 years of foreign domination.
In reality our minds are trained in the Western Standards and with the spread of IT our literacy can reach the zenith in this century. We can be considered a nation who has the capacity to compete in services in the Globalization programme.
Unfortunately we are behind times with some line State Agencies responsible for upgrading these sectors are dysfunctional or willfully remaining non functional.
We have to identify these core economic agencies and motivate them to work. The Export Development Act enacted in 1979 for promotion of export of tangible goods is now obsolete and needs to be revised in the context of the new economic boom that is emerging under Mahinda Chintana.
There is no provision for outsourcing services under the protection of the legislation.
The founders of the free economy advocated that we have to either export or perish.
We need not perish if we open our service sector to the world. We have almost done nothing to upgrade the service sector. Not even have we a database for service outsourcing in Sri Lanka.
There are positives and negatives in a Partnership Agreements. There are several Senior Ministers who can contribute a lot to make a study and make recommendations on the complicated provisions in a partnership Agreement.

Discipline of our roads
As a driver on the roads of Colombo it is very clear that the 2 wheelers and the 3 wheelers are a menace. They make it difficult for us to drive. The presence of these vehicles is a sign of our times –an open economy.
Once upon a time Lee Kwan Yu wanted to build Singapore with Sri Lanka as a model. Later on J.R. Jayewardene wanted to build Sri Lanka with Singapore as a role model. Singapore controls and limits the intake to Colleges like Medicine and Law. This is because of the law of demand and supply. On the other hand our economy is very open and at Peradeniya the University begun by Sir Ivor Jennings and declared open to be more open than usual is always closed because of the current problem between the Government and Universities.
Over to all in Mother Lanka who treasure discipline and values.

Zebra Crossings even in by lanes will minimize accidents
When I walking towards Bambalapitiya from Geetanjali Place yesterday afternoon, I noticed that at the entrance to all these by roads and by lanes -Edward Lane, School Lane, Temple Lane, Alfred House Avenue (which are on the landside of Galle Road), pedestrian crossings have been painted by the Colombo Municipality. Alfred House Garden which leads to the British Council library also now has a pedestrian crossing at the Galle Road entrance. At the entrance to Schofield Place which is on the sea side, a pedestrian crossing has been painted. These were not there prior to making Galle Road one way and the Municipality should be commended for being proactive and for the above initiative to curtail accidents.
This is indeed a good move and if pedestrians use these crossings accidents no doubt can be avoided to a large extent. Motorists lives will be made easy if all the road users make use of the crossings at all times and the motorists do equally comply by stopping at a these points to facilitate crossing.

The great crash of 2018 will change everything.
It will drive millions of seniors to the brink of bankruptcy and dependency… and beyond.
Trillions of dollars in home mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards granted to struggling pensioners will default. The companies behind these loans will stumble and fall.
Corporate revenue and earnings will plunge – first, as seniors stop spending and secondly, as millions of younger consumers and investors read the writing on the wall and run for cover.
Stock prices will implode. The bond market will crash and burn… interest rates will skyrocket… the entire economy will grind to a virtual standstill.
Just like it did back in 1929.
Time Is Almost Up: The greatest economic catastrophe is about to blindside investors – find out everything you need to know to weather this market storm. Click here now…
And believe it or not, that's actually the most optimistic view you're likely to see from any serious analyst at this point.
The news is shocking, to say the least. For the second time in 18 years, the incompetent and corrupt fools who run some of America's largest financial institutions are only a few weeks away from bringing the U.S. economy to its knees.
They have conspired with Washington legislators and regulators to sentence the entire U.S. economy to a crisis of almost biblical proportions.
Once again, they have lit the fuse on a financial disaster that will cost everyday people trillions of dollars.
This time though, it's America's estimated 70,000 pension funds that could be at risk…
Financial Doomsday – Oct. 31, 2018
As of the end of last year – 2017 – U.S. pension fund assets were $25.19 trillion, or roughly two times the size of the shadow-banking funding I've just mentioned.
Our greatest national nightmare has already begun.
U.S. pension plans are already defaulting left and right… they're breaking the promises they made to current and future retirees.
So, many of this nation's 31 million pensioners are already having their monthly income cut by up to 90% and even more in some cases.
This coming market crash is going to plunge even the hottest stocks on Wall Street by 50%, cratering companies in a matter of minutes.
Millions of Americans will go nearly bankrupt, including YOU… unless you take these few simple steps now to protect yourself.
You need to access all the details, right here.
