Sorry, no more posts were found
Like many of you, I have been feeling a range of evolving emotions over the last two weeks as the Coronavirus has spread to our part of world and has now become a global pandemic: Denial, disbelief, anger, despair and now resolve. The new reality of these unprecedented times is certainly overwhelming as new information and restrictions comes literally hourly. No doubt your head is spinning, as mine is, from the non-stop breaking news.
My intention is to stay strong, stay positive and do my individual part to prevent the spread further so that we see can see an end to this. That means staying put at home. No, it is certainly not the time to travel or encourage anyone to book in the near future. Last week was a tough awakening for clients and myself as vacations, after months of planning and discussions, had to be cancelled. It is important to be safe and not take risks. The Maldives, Paris, Rome, Morocco and wonderful places all over the world will all be there for another time to discover and enjoy as they too are struggling. The incredible travel partners I work with, my travel colleagues and the Virtuoso network, have all been absolutely amazing and I am so proud to be a part of this incredible industry. As the pace of life slows drastically and most of us with kids start setting up our homes as virtual learning areas for school, it is a good time stay connected and reconnect with those who need moral support and find ways to help the local community who are struggling.
At Inviato, we will continue to be a resource for travel inspiration and information so you can continue to dream about places to go when the time is right. This was the mission when I created Inviato 10 years ago and will continue to be so. I am always here to be an ear, advisor, and resource. We are all in this together and will come out stronger! Wishing you all to stay healthy and safe!

Miami is known for good food! Year after year, more than 95 percent of students give high ratings to both food and service.
Miami's dining services get rave reviews from professionals as well as students. Each year since 2004, Miami University's Food Service has been honored by the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS), winning more awards than any university in North America.
Dining Locations
You'll find a convenient dining location no more than a three-minute walk from any residence hall. And you have the added convenience of being able to eat in any dining facility, not just in the one closest to your residence hall. You can really get your money's worth at all-you-care-to-eat buffets, which offer a variety of menus, including Mexican, Hi Carb, vegetarian, and stir-fry. A la carte food service locations offer specialty items like made-to-order pizzas, fresh baked goods, and smoothies, along with convenient carry-out.
Meal Plans
Access to dining facilities is available to all students through the use of their meal plan, with a variety of plan levels to suit every dining habit. Meal plans are good at both all-you-care-to-eat buffets and a la carte food service locations.
The on-campus meal plan for all students is the Diplomat plan, which allows you to buy food as often as you like, during the times most convenient to you. When completing your housing contract, you will be asked to choose the dollar amount you want deposited into your meal plan account.
To learn more about the meal plans and the option that's right for you, see First-Year-On-Campus Meal Plans.
Special Dining Needs
Many people follow a specific diet for health or ethical reasons, and Miami Dining Services strives to provide a variety of dining options that are tailored to special dietary needs. Several dining locations have vegetarian programs, and many vegetarian options are offered in locations throughout campus.
If you have food allergies, let us know, and we can help you recognize which of our recipes contain the foods you shouldn't be eating. Culinary Services can help you safely plan your meals.
In the event that you're ill and can't go to a dining facility, you may have a roommate or friend pick up a meal at the dining location you choose. Contact any food service manager to make arrangements.

New study first to examine quality of cardiac rehabilitation programs in Canada
The quality of cardiac rehabilitation programs across Canada is strong, with specific criteria areas now identified as requiring further enhancement to improve patient outcomes, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, York University and UHN.
"We are the first to comprehensively assess cardiac rehabilitation quality —- what we are doing well and where we should do better —- to this degree across the country," says Dr. Sherry Grace, study author, Director of Research, GoodLife Fitness Cardiovascular Rehabilitation Unit, University Health Network, and York Kinesiology & Health Science Professor. "Being able to rigorously evaluate and compare across cardiac rehabilitation programs nationally means gaps can be addressed and changes made, to ultimately benefit patients who have heart disease," she says.
Set to be published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, the study measured 14 key quality indicators in 10 cardiac rehabilitation programs across Canada, assessing over 5,500 cardiac patients. The criteria examined included: accessibility, wait times, referrals, secondary prevention, behaviour changes and psychosocial measures.
"Recovery from a heart attack, open heart surgery or other related procedures improves substantially when a patient participates fully in a cardiac rehabilitation program," says Dr. Barry Rubin, Medical Director, Peter Munk Cardiac Centre. "With tens of thousands of new patients across Canada being treated for heart disease each year, it is imperative that patients participate in the program of exercise and education that form the basis for cardiac rehab as part of their recovery, to prevent their risk of experiencing another serious cardiac event. This leading-edge study makes that goal more attainable," he says.
The study found that cardiac rehabilitation programs are successful in: assessing patients' body composition (85 per cent, measuring blood pressure (90 per cent, increasing exercise capacity (68 per cent) and offering cessation therapy to patients who smoke (61 per cent). Areas requiring improvement included: measuring blood sugar in patients with diabetes (23 per cent) and assessment of depression (13 per cent).
Research has shown that heart patients who engage in cardiac rehab are 25 per cent less likely to die, than patients who do not participate in cardiac rehab. At the same time, only about 30 per cent of heart patients who are hospitalized and who qualify to participate in a cardiac rehab program actually do so.
The United States and Europe have also developed some quality indicators for cardiac rehab. Canada is the first country to nationally assess program quality.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Chrysler's inspirational video for its new Dodge Ram truck took many of its cues from a little-known YouTube video produced by Farms.com in 2011, according to a Slate story.
In both videos, ABC broadcaster Paul Harvey, who died in 2009, delivers his "So God made a farmer" speech from the 1978 Future Farmers of America convention. The iconic speech is played over images of farmers tending to cattle herds and fields of crops.
There are differences between the two videos, mainly that Chrysler used higher production quality video and added its Dodge Ram branding to the end.
The commercial falls in line with Chrysler's tone over the past two years, in which the company has used powerful, inspirational videos during the Super Bowl to catch consumers' attention. In the past, Clint Eastwood and Eminem gave viewers a powerful message about the company as it recovers from bankruptcy.
Chrysler is working with Future Farmers of America to raise $1 million and assist in hunger and educational programs.

Hi, first of all I'd like to wish a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all who celebrates these holidays.
And now, to my question.
I'm watching video tutorials from bucky, and I just can't get why and when it is necessary to use abstract methods he talks about in 55th video?
Why don't we just create methods in classes that need them instead of creating "bodyless" abstract methods ?
I understand that all classes that inherit from the class that implements abstract method must override it, but I just can't get the idea of such implementation. Is it just a good programming practice? Or was it just designed to remind a programmer that he must use the method?

Whether they work high above the action in hockey, baseball or football, or courtside in basketball, play-by-play announcers and analysts have always sat side by side.
NBC has changed that. As Bruins fans have discovered in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Pierre McGuire provides his analysis from ice level between the benches of the B's and the Rangers while Dave Strader handles the play-by-play from the broadcast booth high above the ice.
McGuire used to serve as a rinkside reporter, interjecting insights from ice level while Strader or another play-by-play announcer worked alongside a game analyst in the booth. But NBC dropped the analyst from the booth to give more airtime to McGuire, who last month won his first Emmy as most outstanding sports reporter.
Some find it easier to see plays develop from high above the ice, but McGuire, former head coach of the Hartford Whalers, is used to watching games from ice level. Being so close to the ice during Boston's 2-1 victory in Game 3 Tuesday in New York helped him quickly notice the poor ice conditions and the blood flowing from the faces of various Bruins and Rangers from high sticks.
McGuire repeatedly pointed out that the Rangers had no answer for the Bruins' fourth line, even before that line was on the ice for both Boston goals in the third period. McGuire also ripped the lack of teamwork on the Rangers' power play, which has gone 0 for 10 in this series and 2 for 38 this postseason.
"That is unacceptable," he said. "You can't play that way at this level."
Positioned so close to the team's benches, McGuire informed viewers how upset the Bruins coaches and players were when an obvious offside was not called against the Rangers, but he made sure not to get too specific throughout the game about what was said on either bench. When Boston's Brad Marchand and New York's Derek Dorsett received matching penalties in the first period after a heated exchange, Strader asked McGuire on the air: "You hearing anything you can repeat, Pierre?"
"No," McGuire fired back.
McGuire moved into the bench area of both teams to interview Rangers coach John Tortorella and Bruins coach Claude Julien. You never know what smart-aleck remark may come from Tortorella, but he kept his cool during his brief conversion with McGuire Tuesday.
Strader's play-by-play is more low-key than Jack Edwards' animated style on NESN and some Bruins fans even called sports talk shows to question Strader's knowledge of the game. Such questions were unfounded. Strader, a UMass-Amherst graduate from Glens Falls, N.Y., has called NHL games for Detroit, Florida, Phoenix and St. Louis, as well as for ESPN, ABC, Fox and NBC. It must be difficult for a play-by-play announcer to develop a chemistry with an analyst while working so far apart, but Strader didn't seem bothered by it.
After the Bruins took a 3-0 lead in the series Tuesday, Julien was pleased to report that his Bruins no longer play like the Jekyll and Hyde team they were in the first round against Toronto. CSNNE studio analyst Tony Amonte has assumed that role. After appearing with unkempt hair and unshaven earlier in the playoffs, he has apparently found a comb and a razor.
NESN stopped carrying the games after the first round, so B's fans must remember to tune into NBC, NBC Sports Network or CNBC to watch the games. CNBC (HD Channel 723 on Charter) will televise tonight's Game 4 at 7 while NBC Sports Network (HD Channel 767) will carry Game 4 between the Blackhawks and Red Wings at 8.
Bruins fans also have their choice of watching local Bruins pregame and postgame shows on NESN or CSNNE. When the Sox play on NESN, the Bruins' studio shows get bumped to NESNplus (HD Channel 760).
NESN offers studio host Dale Arnold and such familiar studio analysts as Barry Pederson and Gord Kluzak, whom Bruins fans have watched all season, but CSNNE offers a different perspective through its affiliation with NBC. Comcast owns CSNNE and NBC. CSNNE has access to the postgame press conferences and NBC studio analyst Mike Milbury, the former B's coach and ex-NESN analyst. Milbury ripped Tortorella for his criticizing his players, and Amonte said he thinks the Rangers have tuned him out.
NESNplus begins its pregame coverage at 6 tonight, and CSNNE starts its coverage at 6:30. After Game 3, NESN Plus ended its postgame Bruins coverage at 10:42 p.m. to cut to the end of the Sox game, which was already being televised on NESN. CSNNE continued its postgame coverage for another 20 minutes, then began its SportsNet Central show with more Bruins coverage, while NESN showed Red Sox highlights.

SIDLAB is a combination of software solutions for the analysis of sound propagation inside duct networks. It is used in the design and optimization of exhaust systems for different applications. The SIDLAB software leverages similar code for all types of duct acoustic applications in research, teaching, and consulting.
SIDLAB Acoustics is used for modeling the propagation of low-frequency sound in complex duct networks. The frequency range is restricted to the plane wave region in the connecting pipes. It is based on the two-port theory, where each element is described by a transfer matrix.
SIDLAB Flow is an add-on product for SIDLAB Acoustics. It calculates the flow distribution and pressure drop inside the network, and feeds the results into the acoustic simulation in SIDLAB Acoustics.
SIDLAB Measurement is an independent module that calculates the passive properties of muffler elements from the measured data.
SIDLAB products are offered as open source code, enabling advanced users to perform custom analyses. Calculation time is typically a few seconds on a normal PC. Postprocessing within SIDLAB is simple and straightforward, and users can save the results in different formats.
SIDLAB is coded in MATLAB, enabling advanced users to access the source code to make their own modifications and easily perform preprocessing and postprocessing. Users can create links to MATLAB modules, such as acoustic FEM, to generate new element models. All SIDLAB results can be opened in MATLAB for further custom postprocessing.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Trading in thousands of U.S. stocks ground to a halt for much of Thursday after an unexplained technological problem shut down trading in Nasdaq securities, the latest prominent disruption to the operations of U.S. markets.
Nasdaq resumed trading at around 3:25 p.m. EDT (1925 GMT), after a 3-hour, 11-minute shutdown of trading in such familiar names as Apple Inc, Facebook Inc, Google Inc, Microsoft Corp and about 3,200 other companies.
The shutdown was the longest in recent memory, and prompted U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Jo White to call for a meeting of Wall Street leaders to help insure the "continuous and orderly" functioning of securities markets.
"Any brokerage firm gets paid by executing orders," said Sal Arnuk, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "So yes, we are frustrated, and this hurts us, it hurts the market and it hurts public confidence."
Late on Thursday, Nasdaq's parent Nasdaq OMX Group Inc said it halted trading after learning that the Securities Information Processor, or SIP, which consolidates stock prices, was not disseminating price quotations.
It said a "connectivity issue" between an unnamed exchange participant and the SIP caused the breakdown, and that the cause has been "identified and addressed."
Nasdaq also said technical issues were resolved within 30 minutes and that it worked with other exchanges, regulators and market participants to ensure an orderly resumption of trading.
"NASDAQ OMX will work with other exchanges that are members of the SIP to investigate the issues of today, and we will support any necessary steps to enhance the platform," it said.
The problems surfaced at 12:14:03 p.m. (1614 GMT), when all traffic through Nasdaq stopped abruptly.
During the shutdown, trading of shares not listed on Nasdaq continued, but transactions could not be executed on the Nasdaq platform. Options trading was also halted.
"I can't remember this happening in recent memory," said Christopher Nagy, president of consultancy firm KOR Trading and a former head of trading at TD Ameritrade.
Trading in one stock resumed at 3 p.m., and even after broader trading resumed, some difficulties persisted, and Nasdaq said it stopped routing orders to the New York Stock Exchange's all-electronic ARCA platform shortly after the resumption.
Nasdaq's own stock, which was up 0.8 percent before the halt, closed down 3.4 percent, after earlier trading down as much as 5.4 percent. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq index itself closed up 1.1 percent, higher than where it was before the halt.
"The fact we didn't see a larger dip on today's mess shows most investors are, for better or worse, becoming more comfortable with these mistakes," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
During the shutdown, Nasdaq sent a series of alerts advising clients and traders about the scope of the outage, and later, its plans to resume trading.
Wall Street banks spent the period translating the messages to clients, who were at first panicked, and later frustrated, over how and whether their trades would be processed.
Three sources at banks and brokerages who declined to be identified said trading desks were advising Nasdaq not to rush to reopen, fearing that further technical errors could sap even more confidence from rattled markets.
"The general feedback given to Nasdaq was, 'Don't rush back to fix it, it will be 10 times worse to come back online in a rush than to take time and get it right,'" said one source.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said President Barack Obama had been briefed about the disruption.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said at a Mountain View, California, event that regulators did not have all the facts, and have been aggressive in addressing cyber security concerns. "Sometimes there are just system failures," Lew said.
White said it is "critically important" to the financial system and investor confidence that securities markets function normally.
Thursday's outage, while resolved before the market close, "was nonetheless serious and should reinforce our collective commitment to addressing technological vulnerabilities of exchanges and other market participants," she said.
Nasdaq and the larger NYSE, which is owned by NYSE Euronext, said all trades executed from 12:14:03 to 12:23:31 p.m. would stand.
"As we continue to eliminate human beings from the execution of security trading," said Stephen Massocca, managing director of Wedbush Equity Management LLC in San Francisco, "these events are going to take place, given the level of automation."
The outage was the latest black eye for Nasdaq, which in May agreed to pay $10 million, the largest penalty ever against a stock exchange, to settle SEC civil charges over its mishandling of Facebook's initial public offering.
James Angel, a Georgetown University finance professor who sits on the board of rival exchange operator Direct Edge, said Nasdaq appeared to take steps to ensure that trading reopen in an orderly fashion and with correct pricing.
"We can live with the market being closed for a little bit, but we can't live with bad pricing," he said. "It's far better to have the market shut down and take its time re-opening, than to have what happened with the Facebook incident... It looks like they've learned their lesson."
William Lefkowitz, options strategist at National Securities in New York, said options trading in such companies as International Business Machines Corp dried up during the halt. But he said the reopening was "very orderly and liquidity is back to normal. It is almost like it did not happen."
Thursday's outage was the latest high-profile glitch in U.S. stock markets.
On Tuesday, a technical problem at Goldman Sachs Group Inc resulted in a flood of erroneous orders in U.S. equity options markets.
Two weeks earlier, on August 6, stock exchange operator BATS Global Markets faced a nearly hour-long outage.
Meanwhile, a 2012 trading blowup at Knight Capital Group Inc was a contributing factor to the eventual sale of that company.
Other trading venues were also affected by Thursday's outage. Several "dark pools," which execute orders anonymously, were forced to stop trading, several market participants said.
Thursday's outage could cause further problems for Nasdaq at the SEC, which has cracked down on stock exchanges to beef up their compliance with regulations and police themselves better.
White, who joined the regulator in April, is a Nasdaq veteran, having served on its board as recently as 2006.
Two months after White joined the SEC, the Chicago Board Options Exchange was ordered to pay $6 million to settle SEC charges that it failed to properly enforce short sale rules.
Meanwhile, the NYSE last year became the first exchange in SEC history to face a financial penalty after it supposedly gave some customers an "improper head start" on trading information.
In March, as a response to problems such as the Facebook IPO and Knight Capital, the SEC proposed rules to require exchanges and other trading platforms to be better prepared to handle market disruptions, including those caused by technology glitches. Those reforms are still out for public comment.

Starbucks Brews Better-Than-Expected Results; Shares Jump 6%
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Starbucks (SBUX) keeps grinding higher. Shares of the coffee-house chain surged more than 6% during after-hours trading Thursday after the company posted quarterly financial results that beat estimates and raised its full-year profit forecasts.
The company said for the June-ending quarter that net earnings rose 25% to $417.8 million, or 55 cents a share, beating the consensus estimate of 53 cents a share among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Revenue rose 13% to $3.74 billion. Analysts had expected a 12.5% gain to $3.72 billion.
Global comparable-store sales rose 8%, fueled by 9% gains in the U.S. during the quarter. Meanwhile, Starbucks said comparable sales in its China and Asia Pacific markets rose 9%.
On Thursday, the stock rose 2.3% during the regular trading session to close at $68.17 before rising another 6.3% after the closing bell to $72.44.
Starbucks, which reported its fiscal third quarter, raised its full-year earnings forecast to between $2.22 a share and $2.23 a share. The company also introduced fiscal 2014 targets, predicting revenue growth between 10% and 13% and mid-single digit comparable-store sales growth.
Starbucks forecasted 2014 earnings per share in the range of $2.55 to $2.65 – growth of 18% to 22%.
Earlier this week, Starbucks and yogurt-maker Danone (DANOY), announced a plan to jointly create a selection of specialty yogurt products in participating Starbucks stores in 2014 and in grocery channels in 2015 as part of the coffee chain's growing Evolution Fresh brand.
Restaurant chains have had a mixed week as industry bellwethers deal with rising competition as Americans spend less to eat out. Earlier this week, McDonald's (MCD) reported disappointing same-store sales. Panera Bread (PNRA) missed earnings. But Wendy's (WEN) swung to a second-quarter profit on improved margins and better same-store sales.

A New Jersey man found a school of small fish alive in his swimming pool nearly six months after Superstorm Sandy flooded his neighborhood.
Robert Castellano had uncovered the pool behind his Belmar home to get it ready for the season when he saw the 15 fish, which he believes are minnows.
Castellano tells the Asbury Park Press he winterized the pool with chemicals in September. He believes the fish have been surviving on algae since flooding from the October storm submerged the yard in three feet of water. He's amazed they're still alive.
Castellano plans to trap the fish and return them to nearby Silver Lake, one block from his home.
Hundreds of pounds of dead fish were found in a high school two blocks away after Sandy.

Last time Aalborg Zoo needed us was for a polar bear that needed to be kept refrigerated. This time it was the opposite –black caiman crocodiles that have to be kept at 25C during the whole of their journey to Arizona in the USA. The zoo had containers built to specifications provided by DSV. The crocodiles are between 1 and 3 years old and about 180 centimetres long – about as long as an average person is tall. So they're quite a handful to say the least – and could easily inflict serious injury. The best way to transport them is in tubes with air holes, so they cannot turn around and get stressed from the journey. They can cope with a week like this and without water, as long as the temperature is a constant 25C. The containers were packed with heat packs to help maintain the correct temperature, then loaded into a pre-heated truck to be driven to a specially heated room at the airport to await their flight. Specially warmed baggage trucks drove them to the aircraft with a pre-prepared cargo hold, which was of course also at the right temperature. Planning the various stages of the transport needs an enormous amount of care, not least as the crocodiles are an endangered species part of a breeding programmer to ensure their survival. DSV can guarantee the correct temperature at every stage of the journey, and keeps us well-informed all the way Rikke Kruse Nielsen, Head Zoologist at Aalborg Zoo About Aalborg Zoo Founded in 1935, Aalborg Zoo in Denmark is not just a place to visit but also a research centre and a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, contributing to conservation of endangered species throughout the world.

Monster Mashes Meet Cigar Sensations
Subscribers who have received their May/June issues of Cigar Aficionado may have already read the Good Life Guide Drinks piece celebrating American sour mash whiskey and noting the spate of hyperpremium expressions recently on the market. Newsstand buyers have a few days before the issue is available. Anyway, we couldn't wait to see how the featured whiskeys would pair with a duo of exalted cigars.
The whiskey choices represent: a new branding from a familiar company with very old spirit stores; a meddling of sour mash that pushes the upper regions of price for American product; and a tribute to a ground-breaking Bourbon and its creator. Respectively, they are Old Blowhard and Barterhouse Bourbons from Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co., Michter's Celebration Sour Mash, and Booker's Bourbon 25th Anniversary.
Sour mash, a uniquely American development in whiskey-making, refers to a process used to condition mash batches with spent mash. Sour mash is a mixture of grain, yeast and water from the previous batch, used to control bacteria and promote consistency. It doesn't result in a sour taste, despite its name. The method is often attributed to the Scots-born stillman Dr. James Crow (Old Crow is his namesake). With very few exceptions, it is now the method used in making American whiskey.
The Orphan Barrel Whiskey Distilling Co. is a venture of the spirits giant Diageo, owner of Johnnie Walker, Crown Royal and George Dickel, among a host of other whiskey and spirits brands. It utilizes a storehouse of whiskey that had been lying fallow at the now-shuttered Stitzel-Weller distillery (of Pappy Van Winkle fame), which the company took over as part of an acquisition. The new marque is the first in a planned series that will use so-called "forgotten barrels" of a variety of whiskeys controlled by Diageo. In this case, both have been bottled at the George Dickel facility in Tullahoma, Tennessee. Old Blowhard is a 26-year-old and Barterhouse is 20.
We're not sure, but we suspect Michter's may have set a mark for the costliest American whiskey available at market: $3,500. For that you get a melding of barrels—not all Bourbon, but, yes, sour mash—aged between 20 and 30 years. Michter's, up until now a negotiant of purchased stocks, is keeping typically mum on where it scored its stash. What the company has been open about is its new Louisville distillery, which will one day be the source of its whiskey.
It's been 25 years since Booker Noe, master distiller and grandson of Jim Beam set the Bourbon world on its ear with the introduction of his namesake Booker's, the biggest, boldest Bourbon yet with proofs in the neighborhood of 125. While the creator is now gone, his son Fred has succeeded him and been charged with sourcing the barrels that go into the ultra-flavorful, small-batch expression. As Fred likes to say, "One of Dad's last requests for me was to take care of his Booker's." He's done that and more. In this case, he and his son Freddie handpicked barrels of exceptional age to honor Booker.
Here, we've handpicked cigars that we think we will similarly honor the mashes. (Cigar pairings start on page 3.)
Orphan Barrel Old Blowhard (90.7 proof, or 45.35 percent alcohol by volume; 26 years old; $150 a 750-milliliter bottle)
APPEARANCE: Dark honey, amber color. Legs dawdle and then turn to big, slow globules.
NOSE: Very pretty, delicate aroma. Floral, slightly Cognac-like. Then comes honey and caramel.
PALATE: Very rich honey with mounds of spice on the tip of the tongue. Turns even richer on the palate, showing off some of the nutty and fruity Cognac from the nose. Continues tangy and spicy with cinnamon and some licorice as it gathers toffee flavors.
FINISH: Mellows out on the medium-length finish with barrel flavors that pronounce caramel and toffee as it flirts with vanilla.
Orphan Barrel Barterhouse (90.2 proof, or 45.1 percent alcohol by volume; aged 20 years; $75 a 750-milliliter bottle)
APPEARANCE: Slight copper and green hue on a rich amber field. Quick, fat, tear-drop legs.
NOSE: Vanilla and caramel take over at once and then allow hints of spice to tingle away at the edges of the bouquet. Finally, there are hints of flowers and dried fruit.
PALATE: Very full savory notes of caramel, toffee and some vanilla stake their claim immediately. As they soften, a candy of exotic fruits take over and then turn to cocoa and nuts. Richness makes it seem syrupy, but it's not viscous in the least.
FINISH: The lengthy finish smacks first of tart spice and, later, the candy-bar quality of nougat and chocolate.
Michter's Celebration Sour Mash Whiskey Bottle 251 or 273 (112.3 proof, or 56.15 percent alcohol by volume; no age statement, see above; $3,500 a 750-milliliter bottle)
APPEARANCE: Rainbow of amber and caramel. Medium-size, quick legs.
NOSE: Big, fat, sweet nose of caramel, toffee, vanilla, barrel notes and olive oil, turns into gingersnaps.
PALATE: A dramatic explosion of spices—cinnamon, ginger, anise—flows into softer woody flavor and then proceeds to caramel and toffee, before becoming candied.
FINISH: Long finish of caramel, nougat and toffee with intermittent nuts.
Booker's 25th Anniversary Batch #2014-1 (130.8 proof, or 65.4 percent alcohol by volume; no age statement; $99.99 a 750-milliliter bottle)
APPEARANCE: Very dark and red amber. Forms a ring of tiny beads that take forever to give up their hold before tiptoeing down the glass.
NOSE: Once you get past the high-proof blast, a captivating aroma of maple candy, vanilla, berries and honey takes over. The bouquet ends on floral and spicy notes.
PALATE: The flavors on nose march onto the palate. But at this heat, the whiskey cries out for a few drops of water or a small ice cube that will reveal myriad other charms. On come the fruits of hard candy, Christmas cake, cloves, oranges. Along the way there's a cereal element that melds with the sweetness for the effect of a shortbread cookie.
FINISH: The flavors from the palate last an eternity and are joined by woods, nuts and toast.
CIGAR PAIRING: Montecristo No. 2 (6 1/2 inches by 52 ring gauge, £21.70, 96 points, Cigar Aficionado's 2013 Cigar of the Year) Recent production Monte 2s (those we smoked were from April 2013) are extraordinary, teeming with rich but not overwhelming flavors of leather, such sweet spices as cinnamon and nutmeg and the cigar's trademark tangy wood note. They have enough flavor and power to satisfy those who smoke cigars on a regular basis without overwhelming those who puff less frequently.
With Old Blowhard: Putting two like elements together (in this case spice) can result in a clash or a climax. In this case it, the magic worked and we got the latter. The pair came together and brought out a whole cabinet of flavors, each rallying each other to even greater heights of spiciness. Sweet cinnamon is the hero here. Nutmeg leads to a slight ginger note. All-spice is in evidence as well as a touch of oregano. At times, you're not sure whether you're smoking and drinking this pairing or eating it. The best cigar pairing for this whiskey.
With Barterhouse: The whiskey's candy lifts the same effect right out of the cigar, punching up the sweetness that was formerly only hinted at. The Monte gives as good as it gets, with its leather taking the caramel/toffee/vanilla notes of the Barterhouse up a few notches. A sublime synergy leaves the taster wondering which element is contributing or benefiting. The woodiness smoothes out and becomes heartier with plenty of leather. The best cigar pairing for this whiskey.
With Celebration: Once again spice touches spice and an explosion ensues. This time its rounder—more of the oregano/wood character. The cigar makes the whiskey chewier and the Celebration welcomes the effort by bringing out the tanginess of the cigar as well as honey character. The two dance a sprightly tango with nuanced notes of graham cracker and rich barrel flavors as well as sharper notes that fill in the blanks between the pairing.
With Booker's: Just when you think there couldn't be too much more to experience with pairing this cigar, along comes this powerhouse whiskey to elicit new surprises. Along with the nutty bonbon quality that the Monte confers on the Booker's, there is a smoky taste that approaches peat. The whiskey pushes back with all of its dessert character and brings out the same on the cigar. Once again the spice give renewed depth to the Booker's.
Don Carlos No. 2 (6 inches by 55 ring gauge, $12.60, 94 Points, Cigar Aficionado's 2013 No. 6 Cigar of the Year) The No. 2, which first hit the market in 1997, is a considerably fat pyramid, with a portly 55 ring gauge. As with most Don Carlos cigars, the smoke is a slow starter—it takes some time before the full flavors emerge. When they do, the reward is a pleasant mix of nut and cocoa notes with a tiny bit of spice and sweet cedar.
With Old Blowhard: When the full flavor emerges from the cigar, the Cognac quality of the whiskey truly kicks in. Not only is the floral/fruit character bumped up, but the nuttiness you want in a brandy is also there. The Don Carlos reveals its mellow/sweet side with plenty of caramel and toffee as well as chewy nougat side. Again, that bonbon effect takes over, and you find yourself licking your lips in search of more of that elusive sweetness.
With Barterhouse: The fullness of flavor of the cigar is quite pronounced with the chocolate notes on the whiskey. The Barterhouse doesn't get as much of a boost from the Don Carlos, however, which makes it more of a neutral partner, perhaps with a bit of a sting.
With Celebration: The whiskey comes alive under the influence of this cigar. The tingling spice notes of the Celebration quickly evolve into and mingle with hitherto understated caramel/toffee side. For its part of the bargain, the Don Carlos gets drawn out and gives up its own spicy side with hints of coconut and hazelnut thrown in for good measure. The best cigar pairing for this whiskey.
With Booker's: We predicted the proof of the whiskey might be a little overwhelming for the subtleness of the cigar. Not to worry. The Don Carlos stands up to the test, mellowing out the rougher edges of Booker's and boosting its orange peel charms. What the cigar gains is sweetness and a sharpened point on its hearty flavors and full, deep, rich attributes. Going back and forth on these two elements is sheer delight. The best cigar pairing for this whiskey.

Every nursery worker will be forced to have basic Maths and English qualifications to lift standards among childcare workers.
Nurseries will also be allowed nearly to double the number of toddlers they care for under plans aimed at cutting childcare costs.
Under plans to be announced by ministers next week people will only be able to look after children nurseries if they have a good GCSE in English and Maths.
Currently, there is no basic qualification for people who work at nurseries. One Government source said: "You need more qualifications to look after a kennel than a nursery."
Ministers will also say that they want to allow nursery staff to look after more children in a bid to bring down charges and free up more places at nurseries.
The average cost of a full-time nursery place is about £115 a week but some nurseries in London can charge as much as £300 a week.
Childcare costs account for 27 per cent of the £26,500 average wage in the UK, more than double the 11.8 per cent average among advanced economies.
England currently has the strictest rules in Europe on how many childminders and nursery staff can look after children.
In English nurseries, one member of staff can look after three children aged one or under, rising to four for two year olds and up to 13 for over three year olds.
But on the Continent, the rules are much more relaxed. In French crèches, one adult can supervise up to eight toddlers. In Denmark, Germany and Sweden there are no rules governing children/staff ratios.
Nurseries will also be able to take on six two year olds to every qualified childcare worker. The ratios for babies aged one and under will also go up.
However they will only be able to relax the rules if they hire additional staff with the Maths and English GCSE qualifications.
The idea is also to bring up wages for childcare workers. Currently nursery workers are at the bottom of the pay league in Europe, with creche staff paid an average of £13,300 a year compaerd with £19,150 a year in Germany and £16,300 a year in France.
The shake-up was signalled by Education minister Elizabeth Truss earlier this month when she said said nurseries were currently struggling to pay staff acceptable wages because of "onerous requirements on numbers".
Mrs Truss – a 37-year-old married mother of two - said: "In England, we need to move to a simpler, clearer system that prioritises quality and safety over excessive bureaucracy.
"We also need to think about the balance between the number and quality of staff in our system. It is no coincidence that we have the most restrictive adult-child ratios for young children of comparable European countries as well as the lowest staff salaries."
Mrs Truss said that French nurseries "operate with fewer staff who are better qualified and better paid than their English equivalents".
Separately, an estimated 2.4 million working households will be better off as a result of Universal Credit, ministers have revealed.
Figures show that these households will be better off by an average £158 per month. This is because of the more generous work allowances and more flexible childcare support of Universal Credit.
Iain Duncan Smith, Welfare secretary, said: "Universal Credit will create a benefit system that is fair, simple and makes work pay. Under Universal Credit people will be able to keep more of what they earn.
"They will get the help they need and will see a clear incentive to achieve their aspirations through work.
"We are also investing an extra £200 million on childcare support and changing the rules so that families can access this kind of support from their first hour in work."

Acrimony among elected Republican officials, the statewide Republican Party leadership and Attorney General Greg Abbott spilled into public Thursday as a bitter fight over whether to split the state's primary elections rages on.
That dispute was partially responsible for the cancellation of a planned mediation session between Republican and Democratic Party officials, which was supposed to take place Thursday in Austin.
Instead, several sources said, the political parties engaged in informal negotiations via phone calls and email messages that were focused on when the state's primary election should be rescheduled and if it should be split.
Three sources indicated the talks had centered on moving March 6 primary elections to early April so courts and county election officials would have enough time to enact whatever changes the U.S. Supreme Court may order to the interim redistricting maps for the 2012 election.
A senior Republican said a deal could include a provision that would move the Texas House, Senate and congressional primaries from that early April date to late May if ordered changes to the maps couldn't be implemented in time, a "conditional" splitting of the primaries.
"There are things that have been on the table and things that have stayed on the table, and these have stayed on the table," said a Democrat who is familiar with the negotiations.
Both asked not to be identified because the negotiations are ongoing.
State Senate Redistricting Committee Chairman Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, who was one of 15 Republican senators who signed a letter asking the federal court to keep the primaries together, slammed the idea of conditional splitting, calling it a "sham."
"The simple fact is some of the folks around who say they are advocating for a single primary are not exactly telling the truth," he said, referring to the proposal for conditional splitting. "They ought to own up to it."
Political observers say they believe Texas Gov. Rick Perry is one of the officials pushing for a split primary behind the scenes, so that the presidential primary vote still happens early in the Republican nominating contest.
"Any move back is bad for Gov. Perry," said Jim Henson, the director of the Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas at Austin. They need Texas "to be one of those in their column that people are adding up on election night."
Longtime state Republican activist Paul Bettencourt — a former state GOP treasurer and ally of Texas Republican Party chairman Steve Munisteri — accused Abbott of "changing [his] position" on splitting the primary without any warning.
Abbott spokeswoman Lauren Bean said that the attorney general had never supported the idea of splitting the primary and that his office had included it a legal filing simply as one possible outcome should the U.S. Supreme Court stay court drawn interim redistricting maps.
"That's nonsense. That's not true," Bettencourt said. "I mean, they filed a court document. They were on record. The AG went into full reverse and backed up and that's why they were questioned so sharply by one of the federal judges."
He said Munisteri was stuck between contractual obligations for the party's state political convention and "the Perry campaign, which wanted to have the primary as early as possible."

What do robots do?
When there are repetitive tasks that need to be carried out and might be possibly dangerous to humans, robots are made to support this. In manufacturing, many jobs in factories are messy or dirty. This can include welding, grinding, molding, and casting. While these tasks are carried out human laborers can concentrate on more important and inventive tasks.
Which robotic kit is right for you?
There is not such a thing as the best kit. When choosing a robot kit you will look into ones that are most suitable for your purposes. Here at RS Components we offer:
- Robot Arm Construction Kits
- Robot Assembly Components Kits
- Robot Base Kits
- Robot Joints Motors Kits
- Robot Structural Arm Kits
Why buy a kit rather than all the parts individually?
Simply, because it is cheaper. Sometimes its difficult to buy all the parts separately, choosing a kit will save you time and effort.
Always look out for:
- good instructions and support
- sturdy construction
- high-quality mechanical parts and servos
Robot Parts
These include light guarding, power supplies, motors, controllers, PLC, sensors, pneumatic and power transmission components.
You can choose from:
- Educational Robots
- Gantry Robots
- Industrial Robots
Advantages of Robots
- Most robots are automatic, so no human interference is required
- Ever so precise and accurate
- Robots are designed to work in harsh environments like without air, underwater or in the fire
- Robots are indefatigable
Disadvantages of Robots
- robots require the supply of power, so maintenance is important in factories, however, this can cost much money when repairing
- they are not able to act any different from what they are programmed to
- robots are not intelligent or sentient, they do not think, they only carry out tasks they are programmed to do

(CNN) -- There is an old saying: Out of sight, out of mind.
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, has mentored at-risk students as part of his community service.
But when rap star T.I. disappears from the hip-hop scene to complete his one-year, one-day sentence in federal prison, several music experts say, that won't be the case.
The self-proclaimed "King of the South" will be sticking around, thanks to the success of his most recent album -- the double-platinum, Grammy-nominated "Paper Trail," released last September -- his community service efforts and a reality show on MTV that has resonated with fans, they say.
"I think that if anything, it will gain him more fans and actually support his fan base, because he's talked about making a mistake," said Emil Wilbekin, editor in chief of Giant Magazine, which focuses on urban music and lifestyle and featured T.I. on its November 2008 cover. "He's talked about taking care of the error of his ways."
T.I., whose real name is Clifford Harris, was sentenced to prison in federal court in Atlanta, Georgia, last week on weapons charges. He will be taken into custody no earlier than May 19.
In addition to serving prison time, the court asked T.I., 28, to pay a $100,300 fine on weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers.
"I would like to say thank you to some and apologize to others," Harris said at his sentencing Friday. "In my life, I have been placed in the worst-case scenario and had to make the best of it."
Though he had been in legal trouble before, Harris' current situation began when he was arrested just hours before he was to perform at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta.
The rapper had provided a bodyguard with $12,000 to buy weapons. Harris was not permitted to own any guns, however, because he was convicted in 1998 on felony drug charges -- possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute -- in Cobb County, in suburban Atlanta.
After his arrest, he entered a plea agreement, which federal authorities called unique because it allowed the rapper to remain out of prison for a year while he performed community service.
Harris has already left a strong mark on the hip-hop genre, music experts say, which should position his career well when he is released. Harris had been named to the Forbes list of top-earning rappers, making an estimated $16 million in 2006.
His fan base has expanded in the last year, with some of the growth due to "Paper Trail," which has sold close to 2 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
This year, Harris went on to star in the MTV reality show "T.I.'s Road to Redemption: 45 Days to Go," which chronicles his efforts to shave years off his sentence by completing his community service. The show features him talking to schools and community groups "about how to avoid the trouble he now finds himself in," according to the network's Web site.
To keep Harris in the spotlight, Jason Geter, part owner of Harris' record label Grand Hustle Entertainment, said the company will release a remixed copy of "Paper Trail" with five new songs this summer. He says Harris is shooting music videos set to be released when he is in prison.
"We come from a world if you don't work, you don't eat," Geter said.
In addition to music, Harris' television production company Grand Hustle Productions, which produced the MTV reality show, is filming a second reality television series for MTV about celebrity racing. Also, in the heist film "Takers," produced by Screen Gems and set for release in January 2010, Harris will appear alongside actor Matt Dillon.
And Grand Hustle Entertainment officials say Harris' clothing line for young men, AKOO, will continue to be available in stores.
Geter said that even in prison, his partner Harris will stay focused on his career.
"His [Harris'] music reflects his experiences," Geter said. "He makes himself vulnerable, and that's why people like him so much. And people always love to hear a good drama."
Music experts say Harris' fans are an extremely dedicated group that will probably remain loyal until his release. They say that since fans have known for more than a year that their celebrity rapper would be facing jail time, they have had time to prepare for his departure and the decision doesn't come as a shock.
Furthermore, experts say, one year is too short of a time to forget such a popular artist.
"This will give him some time to do some great thinking and creating," said Gail Mitchell, senior correspondent for R&B and hip-hop at Billboard. "This time around, he is going to be OK."
Stacey Richman, a New York-based attorney who has worked with hip-hop artists such as Jay-Z, DMX and Ja Rule, said there is some threat that going to prison may cause a artist to burn out. But she adds that properly managed talent can help the artist survive.
"It comes down to where he stands in his career," said Richman, who has been practicing law for nearly two decades.
Prison time can, perhaps ironically, serve to raise the profile of some hip-hop stars. A handful have been able to resume their careers at an even higher level after concluding their sentences.
One of the most infamous examples involved 2Pac, also known as Tupac Shakur, who entered prison in 1994 on a sex abuse conviction. In 1996, after his prison stint, he released his album "All Eyez on Me," which had sold 9 million copies by 1998, according to the Record Industry Association of America, a trade organization representing the U.S. recording industry. It was the first double-disc album of original material in hip-hop history, according to Billboard.
More recently, Grammy-winning rapper Lil' Kim, also known as Kimberly Jones, is making her comeback on the popular ABC reality show "Dancing With the Stars." She served a year in prison after being convicted of perjury in a federal case involving her friends and a 2001 gunfight in New York City. She has not released an album since leaving prison.
But incarceration doesn't promise success. Rapper Foxy Brown spent eight months in prison for violating her probation; her first post-incarceration album, "Brooklyn's Don Diva," was given mediocre reviews and floundered in sales. It has sold only about 30,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Hip-hop artist Jamaal "Shyne" Barrow, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for two counts of assault and a list of other charges for involvement in a much-publicized New York City nightclub shootout with Puff Daddy and Jennifer Lopez, released an album while incarcerated in 2004, "Godfather Buried Alive," that struggled to make a splash on the charts.
Since his plea agreement, Harris has worked to differentiate his personal life from his rapper image. In multiple interviews with the media, he often mentioned that he is a father of five who lost a daughter to a miscarriage in 2008. His best friend died at a post-party shooting, which he says was the motivation for arming himself.
"Most often, things I have learned have been from trial and error," Harris told CNN. "I knew no way to protect myself than to arm myself." Watch the rapper's interview with CNN's T.J. Holmes »
In Harris' latest single, "Dead and Gone" with Justin Timberlake, the lyrics indicate a changed Harris, trying to shed his previous image. He writes in the song that the "old me is dead and gone."
The fan support for Harris continues to pour in since he received his sentence Friday. On Facebook.com, one fan, Hendrick Garner in Tupelo, Mississippi, wrote, "Like you said this [is your] defining moment, and I think we all have had that moment, but it only makes us stronger."

Kelly Flamos and Colin McEwen were ready to buy a giant, raw loft in a up-and-coming (read: gritty) neighborhood in Cleveland when they found out she was pregnant. So they did what any nervously expecting couple would do: They opted for a fantastic bungalow on a super family-friendly street in Lakewood–just a few blocks from Lake Erie. Two years later, their daughter Ruby is coming into her toddler years and every square inch of their home reflects their playful family life (mini Panton in the living room; toys as decor).There's a lot of dark wood, which Kelly brightens up with vibrant colors and mix-and-match patterns and textiles (her mom's an impeccable seamstress and hand-makes everything from their dining room drapes to the nursery's adorable bedding). Kelly, who's an editor at designtripper.com and founder of the nonprofit The Poultry Project, stays home with Ruby during the day, while Colin (also an online editor) works from home. "Since we're both home during the day, but Colin has a full-time job and I'm doing the SAH-mom thing and work at night, it's important that we have distinct spaces. We can co-exist there separately, and then we all come together at the end of the day in the living room," says Kelly. "And our bedroom is almost like the loft we originally wanted. It's 800 square feet. We have our bedroom up there, Colin's office, his music nook, a second living room. It's like an apartment upstairs."
They're expecting a second baby in November. Eventually, they'll move both kids into the same bedroom, even though they have the space for separate rooms. "I shared a room with my sister. Colin shared a room with his brother. It's good for the imagination. Like the opposite of a kid being alone in a room watching TV–they can be entertainment for each other."
The nursery (below) is so sweet. Kelly picked light turquoise because "it was a good neutral and contrasted well with my favorite colors, red and orange." Her mom made all the bedding and Kelly hung meaningful prints and photographs, including an image she took in Uganda of a mother and baby goat.
Below is their living room: "I've been collecting things from antique stores and thrift stores since I was eight years old," says Kelly. Her collection of art, photography, design and vintage fiction has been growing steadily since she her first big score–a collection of Maya Angelou poetry books with rainbow covers from the '70s.
The family room (below) is where bright colors, toddler toys and flea market finds converge. Above the super comfy sofa (that turns into a guest bed) hangs a collection of Kelly's own photography. The butterfly tray was a thrift store score from Paris. "It came together before she was born without much effort, and it's always changing. Some days, there's an art project in-the-making that we just leave up and it ends up looking kind of like a messy, fun installation, and toys are always working their way into the decor. Ruby's the decorator of this room."
Meghan McEwan is the founder of the necessary-to-bookmark travel site, designtripper.

Galileo satellite arrives at ESA-ESTEC for testing
One of the two Galileo satellites currently under development,
Two satellites are being developed for the Galileo System Test Bed – Version 2, which will make up the first phase of in the
The primary mission of the first Galileo satellites is to secure the Galileo frequency filings, validate new technologies for operational use, characterise the radiation environment of the medium earth orbits that the operational satellites will occupy and enable experimentation with live Galileo signals.
Galileo is a global navigation satellite infrastructure under civil control. It is a joint initiative of the European Commission and ESA.
The satellite
The satellite will carry a payload that will transmit a Galileo experimental signal. Main elements of the payload are:
- An antenna, comprising a phased array of individual L-band elements, illuminating all the visible Earth below the satellite
- Two signal generation units, one able to generate a simple Galileo signal, and the other able to generate more representative Galileo signals
- Two Rubidium atomic clocks
The expected satellite lifetime is two years.
Test campaign
ESA maintains a large centre for the testing of space vehicles and their subsystems at its European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), located at Noordwijk in The Netherlands. The ESTEC Test Centre has the capability of simulating the conditions that spacecraft will experience during launch and once they are in space. ESA will conduct the
The tests that
- Space environment simulation – the satellite will be placed in ESTEC's Large Space Simulator (LSS), where its performance in the cold and vacuum of space can be assessed.
- Solar array deployment – the solar arrays will be unfolded to confirm correct functioning of the deployment mechanisms and the systems that keep them stowed during launch.
- Shock and vibration – the spacecraft will be subjected to vibration and mechanical shocks during launch and separation from the launcher. An electrodynamic shaker will simulate this environment to ensure that the satellite can withstand it.
- Acoustic – at lift-off and during the early part of its journey into space, the satellite is exposed to intense noise. The Large European Acoustic Facility will simulate this environment to check that the spacecraft will not be damaged by the noise.
- Electromagnetic compatibility – to ensure that the various spacecraft systems do not affect one another's correct functioning through radio signals emitted intentionally or by electrical interference
The future
The other of the two Galileo satellites,
The first Galileo launch is scheduled for December this year. The satellite will be carried into space from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by a Soyuz launcher.

Prince Edward Island National Park
Pulling in thousands of visitors every summer, the gorgeous sandy beaches of Prince Edward Island National Park extend along the Gulf of St Lawrence shore for some 40km. Rarely more than a couple of hundred metres wide, the main body of the park incorporates both the beaches and the sliver of low red cliff and marram grass-covered sand dune that runs behind – a barrier which is occasionally interrupted by slender inlets connecting the ocean with a quartet of chubby little bays. A narrow road runs behind the shoreline for most of its length, but Rustico Bay effectively divides the main body of the park into two: the smaller, more westerly portion runs from Cavendish – home of Green Gables – to North Rustico Harbour; the easterly section, which is wilder and more untrammelled, goes from Robinson's Island to Tracadie Bay, with a third, smaller section lying further east still at Greenwich, at the mouth of St Peter's Bay. The park has fifteen short hiking trails, easy strolls that take in different aspects of the coast from its tidal marshes and farmland to its woodlands and dunes.
