|When uranium atoms split the neutrons clashing eachother release the energy to make the atomic bomb, but how come so much energy from such a small piece of uranium?
|This is a perfect example of Einstein's equation E = m•c2. Although the excess mass m of the un-split uranium is small, the factor c is so large that the energy release E is also large. The physical reason is that uranium is less stable than what it splits into.

|who was the first scientist?
|Some people consider Galileo Galilei to be the first scientist because his spectacular work in the sixteenth century, but Roger Beacon already advocated experimentation in the thirteenth century (one of Bacon's books, Perspectiva (Optics) includes several experiments with all the steps of the scientific method). Yet other people consider Ibn al-Haytham (born in Basra, in what is now Iraq) in 965, to be the first scientist. He wrote more than 200 books and treatises on a wide range of subjects. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding the branch mathematics known as analytic geometry.

|how did the scientists measure the earth?
|Eratosthenes was a Greek astronomer in ancient times. Around 240 B.C. he made the first good measurement of the size of the Earth. Eratosthenes used the lengths of shadows to figure out how high in the sky the Sun was in a certain place on a certain day. He knew of another place where there was no shadow at all on the same day. That meant the Sun was straight overhead. He found out the distance between the two places, then used some geometry to figure out the rest. The full explanation of his method can be found in our web page Eratosthenes' Calculation of Earth's Circumference.

|about isac newton
|Isaac Newton was an English scientist and mathematician who lived between 1642-1727. He had one of the most brilliant minds the world has ever known. Legend has it that seeing an apple fall gave Newton the idea that gravity, the force which keeps us bound to the Earth, also controls the motion of planets and stars. Newton's contributions to science include the universal law of gravitation, the development of a whole new field in mathematics called calculus, and his famous three laws of motion.

|Is it really true that the end of the world is going to be on December 21,2012 and will there be any chance that you scientists could destroy that asteroid? Or safe the earth from this horrible thing ? Please try to safe earth. and are there going to be life on earth or will there be a place to stay until the air clears out? or can you guys tell us exactly where the comet is going to land? is there any chance that you guys can save like a couple of people? and please choose me first and my family please.
|This article should answer your question. Ask your parents to read it and discuss it with you. Anyway, let me quote the last three paragraphs: "But scholars doubt the ancient Maya extrapolated great meaning from anticipating the alignment if they were even aware of what the configuration would be. Astronomers generally agree that "it would be impossible the Maya themselves would have known that," says Susan Milbrath, a Maya archaeoastronomer and a curator at the Florida Museum of Natural History. What's more, she says, "we have no record or knowledge that they would think the world would come to an end at that point." University of Florida anthropologist Susan Gillespie says the 2012 phenomenon comes "from media and from other people making use of the Maya past to fulfill agendas that are really their own."

|why schrodinger performed a experiment using cat?
|In the middle of wide discussions about quantum mechanics, Schrödinger proposed the example of a living entity to illustrate how bizarre it was. This was not a real experiment. This is what Schrödinger wrote: "One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts. It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks."

|what is the solar system theory of Hipparchus?
|Hipparchus was a Greek astronomer who lived between 190-120 B.C. He created the first accurate star map and kept a catalogue of over 850 stars with their relative brightnesses. He also developed the system of epicycles (where everything in space moved in perfect circles) for the planets that both agreed with observation, and preserved the Earth-centered universe of Aristotle. Perhaps the discovery for which Hipparchus is most famous is the discovery of precession which is due to the slow change in direction of the axis of rotation of the earth. Abundant information about this Greek astronomer can be found at our web page Hipparchus, and in this detail biography.

|What are sedimentary rocks used for?
|Sedimentary rocks can be used for a number of things. Sedimentary rocks form layers or stratifications. Each layer is layed down during a certain time period, so sedimentary rocks can be used to tell the geological record of an area. Scientists can tell when an organism lived through which layers its fossils are in. It's almost like looking back in time, pretty neat. Sedimentary rocks can also be quite beautiful. Take a look at this picture .

Nisselbaum has partnered with Trylon Vet Care, where Dr. Stephen Wyler and his colleagues have provided care since 1992, to heal and assist pets while strengthening the human-animal bond. The duo is coordinating with nonprofit foster homes, which rescue animals from shelters and provide them with care until a permanent home is found.
Throughout April, they are accepting tax-deductible monetary donations, food, toys, clean towels, and new or gently used pet carriers. Donations can be brought to Forest Hills Jewish Center at 106-06 Queens Boulevard or Trylon Vet Care at 68-60 Austin Street.
"I want to raise enough money and gather food, toys, and supplies so that animals can be adopted in forever families," said Nisselbaum.
Marshall's Mitzvah Project will be his first fundraiser, although he has supported charities such as the World Wildlife Fund and aided black-footed ferrets, gray wolves, and other African mammals.
"I have personally contributed about $150 over the past 8 years," said Nisselbaum.
Nisselbaum is also an advocate for animal rights.
"You should think about what you're doing," is his advice to animal abusers. "It's hurtful to living creatures, and that's not fair, since all living creatures deserve the same rights as humans."
Since it first opened, Trylon Vet Care has provided care for the Nisselbuam family pets, including cats Jojo, Jem , and Scout, as well as a male ball python named Ty.
"It is dedicated pet owners like [Nisselbaum's mother] Nancy and Marshall who are the core of what Trylon Vet Care is," said practice manager and Forest Hills resident Karla Wallach. "We are a practice whose clients grow with us and become part of our family,"
This is the first of potentially several collaborations between Nisselbaum and Trylon Vet Care.
"We are not a big corporate practice, but we believe in grassroots community efforts," said Wallach. "We help out rescues that do not have big sponsors, and rely on the generosity of animal lovers to help their cause."
Trylon Vet Care has a "doggie bank" on its front desk and collects funds that are used quarterly to buy food and supplies or donated to individual groups. This quarter is dedicated to Marshall's Mitzvah Project. Trylon Vet Care has corporate sponsors, and Hill's Science Diet and Purina Pet Foods are participating in the effort.
"Marshall is a true inspiration," said Wallach. "There are so many stories about how today's youth is stuck in a technology coma, apathetic to the troubles of the world. However, it's young people like Marshall that will lead other young generations to take on the world's social concerns, and use the power of today's technology for positive change in our world."

Planting concerns continue boosting the corn market. The weekly USDA report on planting progress showed corn seedings at 19% complete, which fell well below average and about 2% below forecasts. Such concerns aren't going away quickly, especially with cool, wet weather forecast for this week. May corn climbed 6.25 cents to $5.14/bushel late Tuesday morning, while December added 3.75 cents to $5.1075.
Talk of strong demand is supporting the soy complex. Although one wire service published a report of increased Argentine production, the soy complex posted across-the-board gains this morning. Talk of robust demand and tight old crop supplies reportedly boosted CBOT prices. May soybeans surged 11.25 cents to $15.195/bushel around midsession Tuesday, while May soyoil gained 0.22 cents to 42.84 cents/pound, and May soymeal rose $3.3 to $500.2/ton.
Anecdotal wheat tour reports are likely spurring futures gains. The USDA Crop Progress report indicated that winter wheat conditions had declined again last week, but futures hardly reacted overnight. However, the Wheat Quality Council Tour is now underway, with analysts tweeting bullish results this morning. May CBOT wheat futures rallied 5.0 cents to $7.0525/bushel in late Tuesday morning trading, while May KCBT wheat futures advanced 9.75 cents to $7.93 and May MWE futures bounced 4.5 to $7.5475.
Worries about seasonal weakness may be weighing on cattle futures. Although the cash and wholesale markets have held up well lately, traders still worry about a big supply-driven decline through the second quarter. That's probably the reason for today's slippage in the face of choice beef gains. June cattle futures stalled at 136.82 cents/pound shortly before lunchtime Tuesday, while December slid 0.35 cents to 142.27. Meanwhile, May feeder cattle dropped 0.47 cents to 180.62 cents/pound, but August edged up 0.25 cents to 186.60.
Anticipation of seasonal strength is likely supporting the hog market. The hog and pork complex proved quite firm Monday, but both cash and pork values seemed relatively weak this morning. The expiring May future dipped, whereas the deferred contracts rose in apparent anticipation of sizeable seasonal gains through late spring. June hog futures ran up 0.62 cents to 124.85 cents/pound by late Tuesday morning, while December surged 0.87 to 92.32.
Cotton futures seemingly bounced from technical support. The weekly USDA Crop Progress report indicated that cotton seedings had advanced 4% to 13% complete last week. The fact that Texas plantings are running well behind normal seems supportive, especially with drought persisting in that region. However, having major support hold at their 40-day moving averages may have played a bigger role in today's early surge. July cotton jumped 1.58 cents to 93.81 cents/pound just before midday (EDT) Tuesday, while December cotton moved up 0.26 to 83.00.

"My work explores the idea of imagined threat and response, and looks at fear and planning for the unexpected, merging fact and fiction, fantasy and reality." —Sarah Pickering
The graphic explosion seen in this photograph, Artillery, is not aimed to destroy anything per se, but rather to document the use of detonation as a study tool for British military soldiers. Here, the tactical use of controlled explosions works to add realistic stress to training exercises and to familiarize soldiers with various munitions. Having captured controlled trials and simulated environments throughout her different series, Pickering's work emphasizes the secrecy and uniformity ever-present in the world of civil defense. Taken from the Explosions series, Artillery explores the paradox of planning for the completely unexpected. Set in an uninhabited field, Artillery sheds light on a system that is necessarily orderly and chaotic at once.
Sarah Pickering (born in Durham City, England, 1972) finished her MA in photography at the Royal College of Art in London in 2005. She is the recipient of several awards, including the Photographer's Gallery Graduate Award and a Jerwood Award. Pickering has exhibited internationally and in the U.K., where her work was part of How We Are: Photographing Britain, at the Tate Britain. She lives in London.

Sometimes one clicks the shutter knowing straight away a winning shot is in the bag. Although photography is mainly about vision, composition and obviously some technical expertise, one can hardly deny there is a bit of luck involved from time to time...
I had seen the dramatic sunrise over the Les Menuires ski slopes, the days before. As I was waiting for the sun to come from behind the mountains on day 4 of my recent ski holiday, a contrail of an airliner flying westbound appeared, adding to the image composition. I shot a serious of images moving slightly in order to have two parallel lines between the sun flare and contrail. Having immediate feedback on the LCD was vital in getting the shot below!
I especially like how the lifts on the left reflect the early morning sunlight while there were a handful skiers coming down from their hotels/chalets for their first run. The image was made around 0845am, 15 mins before the ski lifts opened for the day.
Image details:
- Fujifilm X-A3 with the pancake 27mm f2.8 lens
- ISO 200, 1/340s, f14
- RAW file development in Iridient Developer 3.1.3
- Nik ColorEfex pro 4 with Neutral density filter and Pro contrast
While I initially envisioned to do a full "First Look" review of the new Fujifilm entry level X-A3 camera, I eventually elected not to do so as the firmware installed was early pre-production and still had quite a few bugs. Checking with Fujifilm Japan, I've been told that all has been cleared in latest 1.0 production firmware but unfortunately I wasn't able to do a quick firmware upgrade while I was away on the trip with the camera.
In any case, being one of the smallest of the X-series cameras, the X-A3 was great to take with me while skiing; especially with the little pancake 27mm f2.8 and small 35mm f2 lenses. The image quality of the 24 Mpx APS-C "non-X-Trans" sensor is great. If interested in more X-A3 images, check out my dedicated gallery for the trip: "Les Menuires, 3 Vallées, France".
On the last day of my weeklong trip, I had a small ski accident, going home with an injured left shoulder and lower leg. Although I presently have a very limited mobility, I do plan to use the probably 3 to 4 weeks off from the day-job, working on an upcoming "single hand photography" project... More to come soon!
Remember: "There is no gain without pain"

I must say you really gave me a whole new perspective with your posts. Made me reconsider some of the stuff I have concluded.FlyOnMelfisWall wrote:You know, this is one of those things that may not have been intentional by the writers, where their subconscious was smarter than their conscious. That is an exquisite metaphor you pointed out re the stone mason heritage. I love it.
Personally I think it was intentional. When I saw it the first time
it seemed like a very odd choice to commit suicide by drawning
in a swimming pool. Thinking about it a bit more it is a touching
and astounishing metaphor.
The brick connected with a very long rope=the connection goes way back to the old country.
The brick = heavy and simple like a you can imagine a stone mason.
The brick on the ground of the pool. = a symbol of Tony´s grandfather
on the ground of one of the symbols of Tony´s succees and one of the major elements of the home of his family. Telling you despite
everything how huge the influence the past is on the present.
The brick dragging AJ down, just like Tony was dragged down
by his relatives.
What a great foreshadowing of Tony cutting finally the connection
with his father in later episodes when he got it as you so demonstrated.
And wasn´t the show at its heart getting over with the family problems?
Dumping the asbestos?
One more thing, "mother are like buses", fathers are about cars. Tony lets
Chris drive, Chris dies in a car and isn´t it the first time we see AJ driving
a car alone in the last epiosde after his car cuaght fire? He comes alone
to the diner and I have a notch Meadows parking attempts could have some
connection to it.
I love this show:icon_biggrin:

Suppose that we use Joda Money in our project, and have an entity with property having type Money. There are already pretty nice type mapping implementations for Money, provided by Jadira - User Types project. All we have to do is just let Hibernate know that we want to use specific type mapping.
When you look at the Hibernate Docs, Section 188.8.131.52.1: Type, you'll see few possibilities, starting from the simplest - using @Type annotation on each property having Money type. This choice can be good if you have only one, or very few, properties of this type in your domain mapping. It is very probable that sooner or later, when your project will grow enough, there will be more and more of them, and you end up with many similar lines defining the same type mapping.
If you aren't a big fan of repeating yourself, or you don't trust in refactorings made by your apprentices ;), you should consider another way, using @TypeDefs and @TypeDef annotations.
As you may read in Hibernate documentation: "These annotations can be placed at the class or package level." - Let's focus on the second option - package level.
We will place these annotations in package-info.java for our domain entities holding package (see: Java Language Specification - 7.4.1. Named Packages). It will look like this:
Now, when you map the property using Money type, you can do it without additional type mapping specification, just like this:
One technical note, before you become happy Money mapping user ;) - Because PersistentMoneyAmount uses single column (holding amount) for Money mapping, it requires defining of currency which will be used along with the amount. The default currency can be defined as Persistence Unit property: jadira.usertype.currencyCode
PS. Don't treat the above Money example as the guideline of Joda Money mapping :), there are probably better ways of doing it, see Jadira User Types blog.

The story of Kyrese Dwayne Anderson is tragic.
The 3-year-old boy was left in a hot car in Florida for three hours and died of hyperthermia last Saturday.
You're probably immediately drawing all sorts of conclusions about the boy's parents. They must be mindless, hardhearted low-lives—the type of people who've been charged with child neglect in the past. Drugs must be involved. They must have been looking for cheap day care and intentionally left him in the car. Right?
Actually, no details like this are coming out in this case. Kyrese's death seems to be a the worst possible sort of mistake.
News organizations are reporting that Kyrese was left in the car while his parents Robert Anderson, 29, and Amanda Jo Anderson, 30, were at a funeral. Before the funeral, the parents took two cars to drop their children off with a babysitter at 1 p.m. The parents delivered their two older children but they forgot Kyrese in the back of the vehicle that they left parked at the babysitter's house. (It sounds as if one parent thought the other had brought Kyrese into the house.) The couple drove the other car to the funeral, thinking all three of their kids were playing happily at the sitter's.
When they returned after the funeral at 4 p.m., the babysitter said she assumed Kyrese was with his parents.
The Andersons rushed to the car they'd left at the house and confronted the worst possible nightmare. Their beloved son was dead.
Every summer when temperature spike, the news is rife with stories of babies and young children who are left in hot cars and die. Last year, 33 children died. So far 15 have died this year. These deaths can happen fast as a child's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's and the temperature inside a parked car can reach 125 degrees in just minutes.
Who are these parents leaving their children in hot cars?
Over at the Huffington Post parenting blogger Lisa Belkin writes, "The parents who accidentally leave their children to die could be any of us." Belkin proves her point by pulling from a powerful must-read 2009 Washington Post article by Gene Weingarten:
What kind of person forgets a baby?
The wealthy do, it turns out. And the poor, and the middle class. Parents of all ages and ethnicities do it. Mothers are just as likely to do it as fathers. It happens to the chronically absent-minded and to the fanatically organized, to the college-educated and to the marginally literate. In the last 10 years, it has happened to a dentist. A postal clerk. A social worker. A police officer. An accountant. A soldier. A paralegal. An electrician. A Protestant clergyman. A rabbinical student. A nurse. A construction worker. An assistant principal. It happened to a mental health counselor, a college professor and a pizza chef. It happened to a pediatrician. It happened to a rocket scientist.
How could these people possibly leave their child to die in a hot car? The answer is simple—forgetfulness. In over half of these deaths it's determined that a loving and protective parent just forgot the child in the car—as Weingarten explains it, "An otherwise loving and attentive parent one day gets busy, or distracted, or upset, or confused by a change in his or her daily routine." It seems likely that a parent could forget their child for two or 10 minutes but several hours? In these cases, the parent often thinks she dropped the child off at daycare or at grandma's house or wherever, and this idea becomes locked in her mind.
Yes, there are horrific parents who intentionally leave children in cars or who are too drugged out to know what's going on, but this article isn't about those people. This article is about the protective, doting, loving parents who in a moment of stress or confusion suffer from a lapse of memory.
These tragedies have become more common in the past decade because children are now by law required to sit in the backseat of the car strapped into car seats. What's more infants are sitting in rear-facing car seats and their faces are hidden from their parents eyesight.
Weingarten goes on to say that these mistakes are inexcusable, but are they a crime? Should these parents be put behind bars? Are they a threat to others? The parents of Kyrese have yet to be charged—should they?
In Weingarten's Pulitzer Prize Award-winning article he interviews 13 parents who forgot their child in a car and if you read their stories you'll find that these parents have been adequately punished by their own grief, guilt and suffering.
They're not a threat to others. In fact, some go on to invent devices intended to solve the problem, such as alarms that alert you if you leave your child in his carseat, but these never catch on because most people think they'd never forget their child in the car. But these tragedies do happen and an organization called Kids and Cars offers up some tips for parents on how to make sure it doesn't happen to you:
- Put something you'll need like your cell phone, handbag, employee ID or brief case, etc., on the floor board in the back seat.
- Get in the habit of always opening the back door of your vehicle every time you reach your destination to make sure no child has been left behind. This will soon become a habit. We call this the "Look Before You Lock" campaign.
- Keep a large stuffed animal in the child's car seat when it's not occupied. When the child is placed in the seat, put the stuffed animal in the front passenger seat. It's a visual reminder that anytime the stuffed animal is up front you know the child is in the back seat in a child safety seat.
- Make arrangements with your child's day care center or babysitter that you will always call if your child will not be there on a particular day as scheduled.
- Make sure all child passengers have left the vehicle after it is parked.

Lockheed Martin Flight Services (LMFS) launched its Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) Pilot Web Portal along with the new Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS).
The ACAS provides new alerts on new adverse conditions specific to each individual pilot's flight plans via text, email and Iridium satellite devices.
According to Lockheed Martin, the Pilot Web Portal is accessed through AFSS.com, and the platform is currently in the beta development stage. The alerts prompt pilots to call LMFS to receive an abbreviated briefing covering the new adverse flight conditions.
"Lockheed Martin provides pre-flight and in-flight services to more than 80,000 members of the general aviation community across the country each week," said Jim Derr, director of LMFS. "We know pilots may miss safety-critical information between verbal LMFS briefings. Our new alerting service and Pilot Web Portal keep pilots up to date between voice communications with LMFS."

Jeanette Lewis is sipping a latte and looking out over a damp market square. She checks the buses as they pass down the high street.
"If you miss a bus you can wait here in comfort. It's a pleasant environment and the staff are friendly."
Her simple pleasures are contributing to one of the few areas of spectacular growth in Britain's economy.
She and around a dozen customers of Caffe Nero in St Neots, east England, are among the millions fuelling the growth of Britain's cafe society, a report says.
It finds that the UK coffee shop market grew by 7.5 per cent this year and is now worth £5.8 billion ($11.4 billion) at a time when pub culture is on the wane.
In 2000, former British prime minister Tony Blair described his vision of a British cafe society. Since 1997, the coffee shop market has grown 10-fold, doubling in size in the past six years. The Project Cafe 2012 report says there are now 15,723 coffee shops in the UK.
According to Jeffrey Young, director of Allegra Strategies which produced the report, Britons are increasingly making the coffee shop a part of their daily lives. The report found that one in five consumers visit a coffee shop every day, compared with one in nine in 2009.
"The UK coffee shop market continues to astound even the most optimistic of forecasters by growing significantly in value, in outlet numbers and also in the social psyche of the nation. Britain has become a new nation of coffee drinkers," he says.
The three leading chains account for 54 per cent of the market - Costa Coffee has 1522 outlets, Starbucks has 752 and Caffe Nero 530.
But forecasters believe there will be increased competition as Harris and Hoole, which is part-owned by UK supermarket Tesco, Coffee#1 owned by Brains brewery and Greggs Moment, enter the market.
The increased competition will lead to a 25 per cent growth in coffee shops over the next five years, the report predicts.
Many independent coffee shops will be forced out of the market, the report forecasts, but strong independents will do well.
Said Young: "The focus on quality in all areas can only continue to drive a thriving industry over the next three to five years and beyond. The entry of new players signals a new era of competition about to emerge, with quite possible merger and acquisitional activity."
People use coffee shops for different reasons.
Audrey Gill, 80, said: "I'm on my own now, so it's nice to go to a place where people are so friendly. These places didn't exist before and now there are so many to choose from."
In St Neots, Caffe Nero dominates the market square and a new Costa Coffee has opened in the high street. Paul Kavanagh, 53, had just finished work as an administrator.
"It's nice to unwind. They have free Wi-Fi. I like to come here and watch the world go by. It's better than sitting at home," he says. But it has taken him some years to get used to the concept. "I didn't like these kind of places at first but, like everyone else in the country, I have grown to accept them."
Meanwhile, the Campaign for Real Ale estimates 18 pubs close in Britain every week. The trends are only indirectly related. People do not want to drink coffee in a pub or alcohol in a cafe. The prospect of French-style cafes where customers are as likely to order a coffee as a beer or a pastis seems unlikely in the UK in the near future.
"In a coffee shop you have a convivial atmosphere without the alcohol or the rowdiness. I would not go to the pub for a coffee, I would go for a pint," says Kavanagh.
Next door, the Corner House Bar has a similar number of customers, drinking wine and beer. The landlord, Omar Tahiri, says he has an espresso machine and buys expensive coffee beans but only sells four coffees a week. "If you want a coffee, you go to a coffee shop. The pub is for other things," he said.
The main reason for the closure of so many pubs is the opening of pubs by large corporations such as JD Wetherspoon which sell alcohol cheaper than competitors. "I have lost 50 per cent of my business to Wetherspoons - coffee shops haven't affected it at all," he said.

New York: French Colonial Cocktails at 1534 in Nolita
At street level, there's Jacques, a French bistro with a Moroccan accent. Up here you'll find mood lighting, patio seating, and the smell of merguez—so many good reasons to stay above ground. Head downstairs to 1534, though, and the world—at least the parts that once tangled with the French—will expand before you.
The hidden, low-ceilinged room is less speakeasy than captain's quarters, a warm weather outpost where expats await exit papers. (From the next table over: "I feel like we're about to hear a mail plane.") Quilted leather booths press against walls traced with tall grass; candles flicker in mismatched votives. It's bootstrap French civility in an imagined wilderness, all at once winking and genuinely warm.
Named after the year that colonist Jacques Cartier set sail for the new world, 1534 has a drink menu (styled like a passport and divided by nation) that fuses French ingredients with those of once-exotic lands. I started in Polynesia with a Tahitian 75 ($12), a ruby twist on the gin and bubbly classic. It sounds like kitsch but in practice, it's gorgeous: Bluecoat gin and dry Champagne take a hit of lemon juice and hibiscus syrup, poured in a flute over a spidery edible bloom. The cocktail's so good, I wanted just to camp in the South Pacific, but instead of the intruigingly bizarre Colonial Holiday ($12) (Applejack, East India Sherry, lime juice, Velvet Falernum, garnished with coffee grinds and a "giant umbrella"), I opted for Asia.
The Saigon Folly ($12) starts with pepper-infused gin and builds in lemon-grass syrup, lemon juice, Creme Yvette, and soda, both in construction and in the way it unfolds when you drink it. At first it's all pepper, shockingly so, then cooling citrus and effervescence show up until the heat spreads across the back of the tongue. It's a strange stimulator that wants for food—not the cute Croque Monsieur Sticks ($8), but the serviceable Shrimp Summer Roll with Mango Sauce ($10).
In the spring, 1534 aims to lean heavier on punch and cocktail service (batch-mixed pots of any given recipe, fit for the table), and the current punches suggest that it's a smart change. The Foreign Legion Punch ($12) makes the final case for coming back. A tall glass filled with hand-carved ice gets VS Cognac, red bush chai, lemon juice, demerara syrup, and black cherry preserves, topped with a brandy cherry. On paper, this party punch seems too sweet and too clever for its own good; in practice, it walks the line, showing just enough spice and acidity to balance the sugar. It's delicious, and I'd like to order it by the bowl.
The real wonder at 1534 is how such a hefty theme comes across with such a light touch. The drink designs, though occasionally complex, are smart and well-integrated, fun without going gimmicky. That balance feels crucial to getting people to return: you can come back for the inventiveness, without risking the nausea of too much novelty.

Winesecrets To Offer Phoenix Barrel Restoration System
American Winesecrets, LLC. (Winesecrets), North America's mobile wine filtration company, announced a strategic relationship with Australia's Diverse Barrel Solution Pty. Ltd. (DBS) to offer barrel restoration services to wine producers. Available in July, Winesecrets will operate the Phoenix system at its Sebastopol facility. Wineries ship barrels to Winesecrets for restoration by the Phoenix system or purchase Phoenix-processed barrels through Napa's Premier Wine Cask, Inc.
The robotic Phoenix system utilizes laser scanning and a high speed computer controlled cutting tool to remove up to 8mm of barrel surface to reveal clean oak. Each barrel is then infra-red toasted and provided two new heads, either French or American oak The Phoenix system has been shown to produce "like-new" performance from mature barrels. The system is so effective that even barrels previously containing red wine can be used successfully for white wine fermentation and maturation.
Diverse Barrel Solutions has been operating Phoenix in Australia over four years. "We thought that there had to be a way to increase the amount of oak available to a wine from a barrel over a greater proportion of a barrel's lifecycle." said Nick Wickham, Managing Director of DBS. "By adapting precision scanning and cutting technology from other industries, we are consistently achieving 80-90% increase in oak extractables, critical to the building of a wine's structure."
"Barrel restoration by Phoenix is a precision-guided solution to the high cost of small cooperage" said Eric Dahlberg, Winesecrets Founder and President. "I am confident that our customers see this technology as one more way to control production costs without compromising quality."
Winesecrets offers filtration technologies including Volatile Acidity Reduction, Brush-Fire Smoke and Brett Taint Removal and Alcohol Adjustment using Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Filtration, Cross-Flow Filtration and mobile centrifuge.
Diverse Barrel Solutions Pty Ltd was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in 2003 to offer a range of oak solutions to the global wine industry including Phoenix, the Optima range of barrels made from 24 month country of origin seasoned French and American oak and the Le Grand range of Bordeaux & Burgundy style imported oak barrels.
To schedule barrel restoration, or to learn more about this outstanding technology, please contact Eric Dahlberg at 1.888.656.5553, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com . To inquire about direct purchase of Phoenix-processed barrels, contact Eric Mercier at (800) 227-5625 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

New tax idea draws supporters, foes to NL hearing
New London - Despite a committee recommendation that the city not participate in a land value tax pilot program, twice as many people spoke in favor of the program as against it during a three-hour hearing Monday at City Hall.
"Large and small cities are the future. If we're ready to step up to build a resilient city, we should do this,'' said Art Costa, a member of the Land Value Tax Committee and one of 16 people who spoke in favor of the new program.
"It's not a silver bullet,'' he said. "Our problem is systematic and only a systematic solution will fix it."
The Land Value Tax Committee, appointed by the City Council with oversight by the state Office of Policy and Management, spent three months researching and reviewing four possible models for the city to adopt a new tax system based on assessing land rather than buildings.
In a 5-to-4 vote last month the committee opted to stay with the status quo.
A land value tax, or LVT, is supposed to shift the tax burden to the land and not penalize property owners for improving their buildings. Supporters believe the system would help reduce blight and encourage development of brownfields and vacant lots, in part because improvements to the physical condition of buildings would not lead directly to higher taxes.
William Cornish, who lives in the city and owns property downtown, was one of seven who spoke against the proposal. Others included Adam Wronowski of Cross Sound Ferry, Murray Renshaw, a local businessman, and an assessor from Windham whose parents live in New London.
Cornish argued that the city does not need a new taxing program to get rid of blight and attract economic development; it needs to address the dozen to 20 buildings in the city with absentee landlords who have let their buildings fall apart.
"You can't tax us into development if there's no customers,'' he said. "You need to put teeth into a blight ordinance.''
LVT, he said, shifts the tax burden so that less people pay the most taxes.
"It's social engineering,'' he said. "It doesn't belong in New London and it doesn't belong in America."
Those who spoke in favor of it included David Bingham of Salem, a representative of the Southeastern Connecticut Sierra Club. He praised the new tax program as a way to encourage dense development in the city and curb sprawl.
"This is an opportunity for New London to do something big,'' he said. "We want New London to prosper. We don't want thousands fleeing the city."
The City Council is expected to vote on the proposal at a future meeting. If the program is adopted, New London would be the only municipality in the state with land based taxes.
A minority report by the committee has recommended the city implement a pilot program only in a portion of downtown. It also recommended a program to educate the public on the impact of land-value taxation.
But the majority report said large apartment buildings, larger shopping centers and car dealerships would be impacted negatively by LVT.
"Under a majority of the LVT models, the top 250 properties whose taxes would increase are already being put toward uses (commercial or otherwise) that seem to maximize the properties,'' the report states. "The effect of having their taxes increase in order to implement LVT seemed counter-productive."
The committee determined that the city has too many unique parcels and businesses to benefit from any impact that LVT may have.

Community saddened by officer's death
Corrections officer killed by inmate, investigators say
LAKE CITY, Fla. – Working behind the counter at the Blue Roof Grill, Betty said she sees a lot of customers, many who work at the Columbia Correctional Institution.
But she very clearly remembers Sgt. Ruben Thomas, a corrections officer who investigators said was killed late Sunday night by an inmate. Betty said she saw Thomas in the restaurant several times a week.
"Very honest, very outgoing, very fun, full of life, loved his family, loved his fiancee, and was ready to work every day," she said.
Betty said Monday was a hard day because so many staff and customers weren't taking the news easy.
"It's really sad to hear anything like this happen, and we feel very bad for his family," she said.
"It's bad enough when an officer goes down in the street, but to be there in a confined place where these people are supposed to be held responsible, and they come up and they can kill somebody in there, that's not right," customer Carol Semas said.
Semas has lived in Lake City for years and can't believe this kind of tragedy would even happen in the community.
Other residents said Thomas was known as Little Ruben, and everyone who knew him knew he was excited about becoming a father again. He was expecting his second child.
"It's sad. That's a dangerous job they're doing, and they have to remember how dangerous that job can be," resident Willie Mae Williams said.
"I've been in situations where I've been at work and, you know, people get stabbed, and it goes with the territory," former corrections officer Wilbert Austin said of the dangers of the job. "When you go to work, kiss your family, pray for them, because you never know what's going to happen. Any course of things could happen any time at any day."
Austin said even though every officer goes through training, there are some situations they just can't anticipate.
"When I worked at the prison, they had this thing called lock-in-socks," Austin said. "They take combination locks from their lockers, put them in their socks and attack people with them. It's very dangerous."
The institution has a maximum capacity of just more than 1,400 inmates. The state said it holds all levels of inmates there, except those on death row.
Channel 4 crime analyst Ken Jefferson also used to be a corrections officer and said relying on training is key.
"In this case, sounds like the inmate -- sounds as though he lured the corrections sergeant down to talk to him, but in essence he ambushed him. He brought him down there specifically to attack him," Jefferson said. "But it's a very dangerous situation you're in on a daily basis. You've always got to rely on your backup. You've always got to rely on your training, and you've always got to rely on your instinct."
The state prison system is dealing with a budget shortfall of $79 million. Austin said his concern is that in the long run, this kind of a shortfall could end up hurting these institutions when it comes to safety.
"You've got less people that's probably going to be working, so you're dealing with a smaller workforce," Austin said.
For residents like Williams, Thomas' death is not just a reminder of how many men and women risk their lives working at the institution, but it's also a reminder that this community won't be able to move forward unless it is there for each other.
"We do need to come together," Williams said.

Marathon Rubicon names the Pfhor home planet as Pfhor Prime. While this is not cannon, does anyone know if the a more correct labeling would have been "Pfhor Primus"; e.g. using the ordinal numbers instead? I suppose a rough translation would be "Pfhor the First" for primus and "Pfhor One" for prime. I don't know enough about latin, or proper use of ordinal numbers, to call it either way.
Sorry if this is the wrong board for this question, but that would be incredibly typical of me anyway.

Miggy aims to get back to all-fields approach
DETROIT -- Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera said Wednesday he's feeling more comfortable with the adjustments he has been making to get back to his all-fields approach at the plate. It didn't yield him any hits in the spacious right field of Petco Park. He's hoping it brings better results back in Comerica Park.
"I feel better," Cabrera said. "Got to get back."
He's trying to get back to the one-handed finish to his swing that produced a lot of his opposite-field hits. Cabrera had gotten into a two-handed follow through last year during his injuries, and it left him pulling more pitches this season.
Cabrera says he feels healthy now, but he's still trying to get back to the healthy swing.
"The last two series, Dodgers and San Diego, they give me good pitches to hit," he said. "The last two games I feel better."
Cabrera had a well-hit ball to the opposite field in each of those two games after not hitting a ball to right field with authority for about a week.
Though Cabrera feels healthy, he said he has a daily regimen of core exercises that he has to do to stay that way after core muscle surgery last fall.
"I think after the season, I'll be able to go to the beach with no T-shirt," Cabrera joked.
