Last week I wrote about a little girl who grieved by the water’s edge because her parents were frolicking in the water while she stayed on the shore, alone. The image still haunts me, and so I have tried—in the only way a writer knows—to imagine her growing up years.
Her childhood must have been bleak. How, otherwise, when her parents offered only a cool indifference? I imagined Sybella—my name for her—as a small, slender child who was always dressed well, who was fed well, but whose emotional wellbeing was never served. Did her parents attend her school events? Did she always watch the closed door to the auditorium in hopes that this time they would come to see her dance, or sing, or speak lines in a play? And on her high school graduation day what would happen? Perhaps this:
While the principal droned off the names of the graduates, Sybella fidgeted in her maroon and gold robe. Her mother had given her the money for the graduation robe, so she had hoped that this time she and Daddy would come to the ceremony.. Now she looked across the rows of faces for her parents knowing that they would not be there after all. Her father’s boss was giving a party for his employees in Ashville—it really was a big deal–so of course he and Mama would have to go. “You don’t mind, do you?” was what her mother had asked and had not even seen her daughter’s disappointment.
Sybella’s stomach twisted into a tighter knot, but she tossed back her head and put on that look of indifference she had perfected through the years. It didn’t matter. No, it didn’t matter. Sybella turned her involuntary sob into a cough….
No, no, no! I don’t like this at all, and I’m going to change the scene. Writers have that option—something that Life sometimes lacks the power to do. So, now, what if Sybella had met, along her way, a caring teacher and… oh, why not?… a best friend with a loving family?
The graduation robe felt uncomfortably warm in the hot June sun, but she didn’t mind for here she was. In a few moments she was going to be called by the principal to receive her diploma. A quick glance across the auditorium showed her that her parents had not changed their minds at the last moment, and why would they? A party at the boss’s house trumped a graduation any day. Sybella’s heart twisted into a familiar knot.
Still, she’d made it, right? Here she stood with the rest of her lighter hearted classmates, and unlike some of them, she knew where she was going. NCU Chapel Hill and a full scholarship was her reward for years of hitting the books. There would be years of studying… and then a graduate degree in pharmacology. That was her trajectory, that was what Mr. Morganstern had drilled into her head from the moment she had stepped across the threshold of his classroom. ‘Study and succeed, Sybella. You have a brain—it will take you as far as you want to go!” That had been her mantra for four years, and when she saw Mr. M’s bulky form sitting with the other teachers, warmth eased the painful heartknot.
And… yes, there in the third row were Molly’s parents ,and the irrepressible twins who were each holding up hand-written cardboard signs. One of them said, ‘Congrats, Molly,’ and the other proclaimed, ‘You GO, Syb!’
With a mixture of determination and hope Sybella stepped onto the stage and walked towards the rest of her life.
Now, isn’t that a better story?
If somehow we changed
One small action, one quick word
Marvels might ensue.

By catalyzing hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases are critical regulators of their intracellular concentrations and their biological effects. As these intracellular second messengers control many cellular homeostatic processes, dysregulation of their signals and signaling pathways initiate or modulate pathophysiological pathways related to various disease states, including erectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, acute refractory cardiac failure, intermittent claudication, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and psoriasis. Alterations in expression of PDEs and PDE-gene mutations (especially mutations in PDE6, PDE8B, PDE11A, and PDE4) have been implicated in various diseases and cancer pathologies. PDEs also play important role in formation and function of multimolecular signaling/regulatory complexes, called signalosomes. At specific intracellular locations, individual PDEs, together with pathway-specific signaling molecules, regulators, and effectors, are incorporated into specific signalosomes, where they facilitate and regulate compartmentalization of cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways and specific cellular functions. Currently, only a limited number of PDE inhibitors (PDE3, PDE4, PDE5 inhibitors) are used in clinical practice. Future paths to novel drug discovery include the crystal structure-based design approach, which has resulted in generation of more effective family-selective inhibitors, as well as burgeoning development of strategies to alter compartmentalized cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways by selectively targeting individual PDEs and their signalosome partners.

The Amhara region prison commission says it is unable to feed and provide medical services to the over 66,000 prisoners under its custody and called on authorities to seek solutions to the dwindling resources to take care of the prisoners.
The commission said the number of prisoners had tripled since the anti-government protests last year and most of the prisoners have never seen a day in court.
It said it has used all the budget meant to feed the prisoners and health facilities have refused to treat the prisoners as the commission is behind its medical bills.
The commission said there are prisoners who have been detained for up to ten years without due process of the law.
Tens of thousands of people remain in detention in the country following the anti-government protest last year and a state of emergency declared in October.

Guy Somerset - NZ Listener
After an hour in the kinky company of Cantina, one can’t help but think Woody Allen’s film Midnight in Paris* would have been immeasurably enlivened if he’d sent Owen Wilson back in time to this particular 1920s nightclub. Meeting up with F Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway is all very well, but doesn’t begin to compare with the S&M-tinged acrobatics of these five Australians, accompanied by the ragtime and trippily distorted Great American Songbook standards of musician Nara Demasson.
Whether hurling each other about (and indeed off) the tiny stage of the International Arts Festival’s TelstraClear Festival Club, spinning at breathtaking speed while hanging by the head from a rope tied the top of the club tent or just (just!) clambering all over one of their number’s naked torso in a pair of patent-leather stilettoes, the Cantina crew never cease to astonish throughout their hour-long show.
It’s all done with hairline precision, but Lord knows how they attained that precision: there’s probably a pit somewhere in Australia containing the twisted and battered remains of troupe members who fell by the wayside before the act was perfected. There could be a few audience members in that pit, too: the front row of the Festival Club is within centimetres of the action as it whizzes past.
Before they take to the toned back of David Carberry, Chelsea McGuffin’s stilettos see her across a wire tightrope. No less breathtaking than mono-monikered Mozes’s tent-top spin is – for very different reasons – his naked turn with a red handkerchief. As well as all the hurling, all three performers, plus fellow acrobats Henna Kaikula and Daniel Catlow, put their bodies into permutations and lift themselves to heights that seem barely possible.
Kaikula’s specialty is a bendy-ragdoll routine involving complicated contortions that are all the more wince-inducing for the joint-crunching sound-effects that go with them. Her innocent doll demeanour is put to particularly good use when she delivers a coy, quietly pleased smile to the audience after inflicting various tortures on a now-collapsed dance partner.
Men and women delighting in pushing and throwing each other about and doing harm to each other’s bodies is a recurring theme of the night, and there’s an erotic charge to their cruelty.
As the night goes on and the stakes are raised (with roller-skates among other things added to the mix), you do become a bit blasé about it all, forgetting these are physical feats and acts of violence you previously never expected to see outside a Looney Tunes cartoon.
Oh, so Kaikula is upside down doing the splits while propped by a single hand on the 10cm pinhead of a pedestal! What of it? Oh yeah, that’s probably quite difficult. And oh, look, that’s broken glass under the pedestal – she won’t want to fall on that. (Needless to say, although she doesn’t fall, she does end up on the broken glass, walking across it on her hands.)
The night ends as it begins, with Demasson and the cast singing (because, naturally, they’re singers and musicians, too) Tom Waits’s “I’ll shoot the moon right out of the sky for you, baby”, giving their endeavours the tint of valorous love letters to each other. Somehow, for those in the audience, I don’t think mere cards are going to cut it next Valentine’s Day.
By this point, my back is aching a little thanks to a combination of the seating and bad posture. Normally, I might mention so. But not tonight. I don’t think anyone would be very sympathetic.
CANTINA, Strut and Fret, TelstraClear Festival Club, Wellington, until March 18, as part of the New Zealand International Arts Festival.

Data, analytics, and AI are revolutionizing the agriculture industry in many ways. Here are a few examples:
- Precision Agriculture: Data and analytics are used to monitor crops, soil, and weather conditions. Farmers can now make informed decisions about when to plant, fertilize, and harvest, leading to increased yields and decreased costs. This approach is called precision agriculture, and it’s revolutionizing farming.
- Autonomous Farming: AI is being used to develop autonomous farming equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and drones. These machines use sensors and cameras to navigate the fields and perform tasks like planting, spraying, and harvesting. This reduces the need for manual labor and increases efficiency.
- Crop Protection: Data and AI are used to detect and prevent crop diseases and pests. Sensors can monitor plant health, and algorithms can identify potential issues before they become a problem. This leads to a more sustainable and cost-effective approach to crop protection.
- Supply Chain Management: AI is used to optimize the supply chain, from farm to table. This includes predicting demand, optimizing transportation routes, and reducing waste. This leads to a more efficient and sustainable food system.

Coffee brewing has simple fundamentals: combine coffee grounds and water. Exactly how to combine these is a question with many answers, kind of like asking how fast one should drive: the answer will not be a specific speed, but rather a flexible set of guidelines that help you determine the answer for each context. Similarly, dialing in a coffee recipe on your equipment to your preferences is a matter of trial and error that will take experimentation to get the tastiest results. Note that optimal recipes can vary from different beans, roast levels, resting times since roast and more. How much experimentation, and how far you dive into home brewing, is entirely up to you.
How much ground coffee do you need? This is a broad question with many correct answers, depending on preference and equipment.
If you want a basic, easy starting point, use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6-8 oz of water.
However, using a simple kitchen scale to measure the weight of coffee and water will increase your consistency from brew to brew.
Generally, when coffee professionals and enthusiasts use a scale, they describe a recipe as a ratio and measure in grams (g). A ratio like 1:16 describes the recipe, which in this case means each gram of ground coffee needs 16 grams of water. Similarly, 20g of ground coffee would then pair with 320g water, as an example for a single cup recipe at this ratio.
Coffee professionals recommend 1:15 on the strong end and 1:20 on the weak end for standard American drip coffee preferences. Consider a stronger ratio if pairing with cream or milk.
Note that this is for drip/filter coffee brewers; methods like espresso (1:2-3), French press (1:11-15) or cold brew (1:6-16) will vary. Consult your brewer’s instructions or website for their recommended brew ratios and grind sizes.
Freshly ground coffee is the biggest improvement you can make if you are currently using pre-ground coffee. Oxidation, when coffee meets the oxygen in the air, ages coffee and changes the aromatic flavors we can extract from the bean. Grinding increases the amount of coffee exposed to oxygen while also releasing some aromatic particles into the air that will not make it into the brewed cup.
As important as a fresh grind is, getting the right grind for the job is important, too. Just like consistent knife cuts are important for cooking food evenly, consistent grind size is important for brewing a tasty cup of coffee. Otherwise, fine powders will over-extract and impart bitter qualities while bigger chunks will under-extract and deliver sour notes.
Burr grinders, as opposed to cheaper blade grinders, are key to this. Coffee beans are ground between rough burrs, which are set to leave a small opening for the coffee to pass through once it is the right size. Blade grinders, on the other hand, spin a blade around like a blender for a set amount of time, leaving particle size much more random and varied.
If you do not own a burr grinder, consider one of these Baratza grinders.
Which Grind Size?
Just like the other factors, there are many correct answers to this question that will depend on preference, equipment, and the coffee bean itself. Also, each grinder manufacturer has differently labeled settings that can even vary between versions of the same model. For a general starting guide, Kruve has created some reference charts here.
To estimate where your grinds measure, a printable PDF of Kruve’s BREWLER includes these particle sizes to scale here. Note that grinders will always produce a range of sizes rather than a set of perfectly uniform particles. Additional measuring tools and sieves are available through their website for further precision and tighter control over grind size distribution.
Once you have a starting grind size to try, make note of which grinder setting you use. If your brew time is longer than expected or tastes overly bitter/dry, try a coarser grind next time. On the other hand, if your brew happens too quickly or tastes overly sour, try a finer grind. On the same page as Kruve’s grind chart, they have also compiled a basic reference for coffee ratios and expected brew times.
Brewed coffee is mostly made of water, and the quality and temperature of water affects the final taste.
The temperature of water while brewing can be anywhere from cold to lukewarm to steam, depending on brew method and desired outcome. For most coffee brewed with hot water, the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) recommends 195-205° F (90-96° C). If you do not have a thermometer, a kettle taken to boil then removed from heat for 20-30 seconds usually falls within this range.
Water in its most pure form only contains hydrogen and oxygen, and filtration methods like distillation and reverse osmosis achieve this level of zero Total Dissolved Solids (TDS); however, some dissolved minerals are desirable. Calcium, magnesium, sulfur, carbon, sodium, potassium, and more can be included to change perception of factors like bitterness, acidity or body. Some municipalities have tap water that is already nearly ideal for coffee brewing, while others will need filtering and/or remineralization.
Various companies offer mineral blends that can be added to distilled water. You can compare coffee brewed using this water and your home water to see if water composition is an area you can improve. For further information, the SCA has posted guidelines here and here.

This study develops 3D-printed-garment collections for a fashion show presentation. A design concept using traditional patterns that consisted of garments regarding the limitation of the printing technology was investigated in order to develop the collection. The structures of the connecting joints of the textile parts which could be easily and sturdily interconnected were invented. Wearability as garments that could be naturally worn on the human body were sought. As a result, four 3D-printed-garments were developed. The 1st garment composed of objects based on a 'Yeon-Dang-Cho'-pattern was constructed as a geometric robe style using a FDM 3D printer and transparent TPU filaments. The 2nd and 3rd 3D-printed-garments composed of an object based on a 'Boe-Sang-Hwa'-pattern was constructed as a distorted one-piece exaggerating the silhouettes of shoulders and waist parts as well as a straight asymmetric tunic style that used the same printer and material as the 1st garment. The last garment composed of an object based on a 'Boe-Sang-Hwa'-pattern printed using a SLA 3D printer and flexible-liquid-resin was constructed attaching the objects on the fabric material by the hot-press machine. The four developed garments were presented in the opening fashion show of 'the 6th International 3D-printing Korea Expo'. This study provides a basic case for related studies to adapt 3D-printing technology in textile pattern development of garment construction.

by Herbert E. Sabin
On a mild spring morning in March 1910, Samuel W. Sabin arrived at Node, Wyo. with an immigrant car of household goods, farm machinery, a cow and some horses and proceeded to haul it to the homestead upon which he had filed a mile and a half west of Node. That evening a blizzard struck.
A cow and team of horses were sheltered in a "dugout" cellar near the railroad section house and a team of mules put back in the partially unloaded box car. The several immigrants who had arrived on the same train found a welcome shelter from the storm in a small addition to his claim shack Mr. Peter Hansen had partially completed and warmed by burning railroad ties the section boss had generously offered.
When the storm was over three days later reports came of heavy losses of cattle and horses over all of Niobrara County. A discouraging welcome to Wyoming!
By May, when the rest of the family arrived, a granary had been built that was to serve as the house for many years.
Contrary to the belief that ranchers disliked the new settlers, John Pfister and Tom Bell, who surrounded the Sabins, proved to be most helpful and friendly neighbors.
The accepted agriculture for homesteaders was based on "the cow, the sow and the hens.. plus a garden.” In time specialties were added to supplement the income. The first was turkeys, then purebred hogs and then certified potatoes. The potatoes were money-makers for a few years, but the soil blowing from the bare fields was serious and potatoe production was stopped.
In 1926, Donald, the youngest Sabin boy had graduated from the University of Wyoming and was Superintendent of the Experiment farm at Gillette. He heard of a new grass being tried in eastern Oregon and bought a few pounds of this crested wheat grass seed and sent it home to try to grow grass on the old potato fields. From this small beginning many tons of crested wheat grass seed were sold. The production of seed and hay for the stock became the major farm enterprise.
To the original homestead of 320 acres was added the homestead of a daughter Ruth and a son Herbert, and by purchase, land from Oscar and Anna Moe, Lionel Bill, Wm. Doman and Peter Hansen and a few other small plots so that "Rolling Acres" as the farm was called, totaled about 2,000 acres when it was sold in 1970 to Mr. Ken Gropp.
From the Shorthorn milk cow that provided most of the living in those first tough years, a herd of very good cows was develop ed, producing a couple of fat steers that took firsts in the open class at the Denver Stock Show and several 4-H winners. Since 1940 purebred Corriedale sheep were raised that were a source of pride and won many ribbons for Rolling Acres at shows and fairs.
S. W. Sabin, Sr. was quite civic minded and served on District 5 school board for many years. He worked for a nine month school year and then for consolidating of the district. The Node school was one of the first to consolidate and become a Standard" school with three teachers and about 50 pupils. He and a couple of neighbors started a community telephone line that served for many years until it was taken over by Mountain Bell.
Mrs. Sabin (Ernestine) invited the neighbors' children to meet at the Sabin home each Sunday afternoon and the response was fine, especially after the second summer when ice cream was served. The Sabins were the onlv family around who had ice. Ice was harvested from a pond on the Tom Bell ranch, stored in a pit dug in the ground and packed with straw. The Sunday School later became the Node Congregational Church.
The two Sabin girls, Ethel and Ruth became teachers and authors. Alfred, an engineer, was in the Navy during World War I. He worked with mining companies in the United States and Africa and has been a consulting engineer for several years. Donald with a degree in agriculture from the University of Wyoming was an agriculture teacher, Wyoming Extension Agronomist, and during World War II served as an agriculture director for Japanese relocation camps.For manyyears he worked for the U.N. and Unicef in the rehabilitation of war-torn Europe feeding the world's hungry children. For this humanitarian work he was awarded an honorary Ph.D. from the University of Wyoming.
Herbert and his wife Esther took over Rolling Acres in 1935 and want to express their appreciation to the Wyoming Extension Service for the advice and help that was a large part of any success we may have achieved.
They have two children: Mary, a graduate of the University of Wyoming and a mother of four children, is teaching in Oklahoma; Sam, with an M.A. from Wyoming and a Ph.D. from Oregon, is extension director of 4-H livestock at Cornell. He served with submarines in World War II.
Herbert, in addition to his farming activities has served as a school board member and an official of the Congregational Church. He was one of the original organizers and directors of the Niobrara Rural Electric; was on the Wyoming State Board of Agriculture for 12 years and for 22 years was a 4-H leader. He was also a veteran of World War I.

This post is in the theme “Constructing an identity through media”. Read the first.
September 30, New York: I’ve never been very good at reading poetry. I don’t say I’ve never liked poetry or that poetry has done me some offense, no, it’s just that I rarely have the patience for it. I do not read and reflect, I read for volume. I read for progress made. I consume prose, rarely do I marinate.
One of the few times I broke that was hurtling around Europe on trains at 19. I kept this book tucked close to me in a man purse (a camo green Army surplus bag) next to my writing notebook and whatever novel I was reading. No matter how often the novel changed, this book remained a constant. The pace of life for that six weeks was different; there was much time to kill across Europe. For once, I was happy to spend much of it reading these poems.
The City Light Pocket Poets Anthology is a compilation of beat and post-beat poems spanning multiple decades of City Lights’ history. There is Ginsberg and Kerouac, and also Frank O’Hara and Pablo Picasso and Malcolm Lowry. This little book is a treasure. When I first thumbed through it I still had never been to San Francisco; I hardly knew what City Lights was other than I knew Kerouac and Ginsberg and had heard Lawrence Ferlinghetti had been named the city’s poet laureate. The very first time I ever made it up to SF, long before I moved there or even thought of it, I made a pilgrimage to City Lights. Originally, it was for this book, but I fell in love with the store. When I moved to San Francisco, I’d try to go at least once every couple of months.

This time, I read this book all wrong. I am in the middle of a reading sprint! I am measured by books completed! So I would open this guy up on the subway, struggle with a poem or two and then just begin to page through, scanning. Terrible poetry reading! Ultimately I focused on reconnecting with old favorites.
“Mexican Loneliness” by Jack Kerouac: “And I am an unhappy stranger / grooking in the streets of Mexico—”
“Why I Choose Black Men for My Lovers” by La Loca: “In 1967 I stepped through a windowpane / and I got real / I saw Mother Earth and Big Brother / and / I clipped my roots which choked in the / concrete / of Sunset Boulevard”
“Why is God Love, Jack” by Allen Ginsberg: ” Because I lay my / head on pillows, / Because I weep in the / tombed studio”
I discovered a handful of new poems this time around, which is actually one correct way to read this book. Of course, my Neal Cassady theme made a heart-shot out of “Elegy for Neal Cassady” by Allen Ginsberg: “Kesey’s in Oregon writing novel language / family farm alone. / Hadja no more to do? Was your work all done? / Had ya seen your first son? / Why’dja leave us all here? / Has the battle been won?”. And I loved Kenneth Patchen and Jacques Prévert and really, really liked “Room 5600″ by Ernesto Cardenal, all about the Rockefellers: “They had a happy childhood on the banks of the Hudson / on a 3500-acre estate / with 11 mansions and 8 swimming pools / and 1500 servants / and a great house of toys / but when they grew up they moved into Room 5600 / (actually the 55th and 56th floors of the tallest skyscraper / at Rockefeller Center) / where hundreds and hundreds of foundations and corporations / are managed like / —what truly is— / a single fortune.
Perhaps then, it is not that I read this book the wrong way, because this is how I believe one can appreciate poetry: groping around for the gem that catches you. To be between 34th Street Herald Square and 28th Street on the N/R and suddenly be bowled over by a line like “See how those stars tramp over heaven on their sticks/Of ancient light” (Patchen). Now if only I was reading poetry on the subway every day. I hereby resolve to have a bit more poetry in the 66 Project.

The much awaited luxury version of the 2024 Skyworth EV6 520 has debuted in China, with a suggested selling price of 306,800 yuan. With a 520-kilometer driving range under NEDC conditions, this high-end electric car is perfect for longer trips.
There is a sizable 12.8-inch central control screen in the vehicle
The 520 enhances design while retaining the streamlined features of the base EV6. The closed front grille, which is enhanced by a matrix laser grille light system, clearly demonstrates the modern “Bauhaus” influence. Eye-catching through-type taillights in the back add to the sleek design.
Upon entering the 520’s interior, the driver (or passenger) will be greeted by an elegant atmosphere. Tasteful chrome details add to the sumptuous sensation created by the black and brown colour combination. The vehicle has a big 12.8-inch central control panel, automatic climate control, a 360-degree reversing camera system, and rear parking radar for improved comfort and ease when driving. Additionally featured are contemporary necessities like tyre pressure monitoring, an electric tailboard, leather upholstery, LED headlights and one-touch window controls.
The inside of the 2024 Skyworth EV6 520 is roomy, measuring 4720 mm in length, 1908 mm in width, and 1696 mm in height. Passenger legroom is generously provided with a 2800mm wheelbase. A single front-mounted electric motor with a maximum power output of 150 kW and a torque of 320 Nm powers the vehicle.
The 520’s battery is its best feature. It has an impressive pure electric range of 520 km (NEDC) thanks to its 71.98 kWh ternary lithium battery, allowing you to go farther between recharging stops.


Wall Street Journal Hates Hip-Hop
On a segment on Fox News that aired on Tuesday, the state of hip-hop became a topic of criticism. 50 years after the 1963 March on Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech, rap became the topic of discussion, stemming from a Wall Street Journal piece by Juan Williams. In the piece, Juan compares the poetry and music of the civil rights era to today's modern rap world. He writes "The emotional uplift of the monumental march is a universe of time away from today's degrading rap music—filled with the n-word, bitches and "hoes"—that confuses and depresses race relations in America now."
The segment made a particular focus on Jay Z's song off Magna Carta Holy Grail featuring Justin Timberlake "Holy Grail." There Jehmu Greene, a Fox News contributor, and Ken Blackwell, a senior fellow at the American Civil Rights Union, spoke candidly about the lyrics in the song, expressing their strong distaste of not only of the record, but of rap music right now. Watch the segment above.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Draught at work. ( I never get tired of saying that). Poured into one of our sampler tulips. Pours medium deep brown, with a black core, thin dark tan head, spotty lacing - surprisingly poor lacing for a draught sample. Nose is big chipotle, very dry and spicy pepper notes with light smoke, sweet toffee/fudge, marshmallows, hickory, and cocoa powder. Flavours of spicy coffee, very woody, like hickory or maple smoke, plus lots of smoke, fudge, and plenty of earth. Not the equal of the Speyside Edition, but then what is?

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
75cl bottle, home.
Good classic mocha lacing; opaque black colour, aroma is grains, leather, chocolate, chilli peppers, bourbon, Devonshire cream and some nice measured hops. Taste is just divine. chocolate, bourbon, smoke, excellent bitterness, espresso coffee, roasted malts, leather, gorgeous dollops of cream, maybe some very faint vanilla, some uey treacle pudding which just oozes class, toffee and chillies. There is a lovely burn to your mouth when you finish this. I love the chillies in this, such a great touch!
rbrazell (1698) - Florida, USA - NOV 4, 2013
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Proof. Black pour with a sudsy brown head. Deep chocolate aroma, roasted malts, smoke and peppers in the aroma. Thick chewy, dry chocolate malt up front, roast, light soy with smoke and chili peppers to round out the finish. Nice balance and tasty.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Dark body, medium tan head. Sweet and roasty aroma with some coffee. Big sweet and roasty taste. Finish reveals the chili heat. Not sure if I like chili in beers or not. If you want your beer to taste hot, why not just crank up the ABV? The stout base is good, however.

3.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle - pours black, opaque with a small dark cap - rich roasty-cocoa tones in the nose with a hint of spice and smokiness- flavour is a rich thick blend of roasty dark malts with bright hopping enhanced by a piquant sharpness - rich roasty finish with a spicy smoky end to it. I think the smoky chipotle ads to the porter and the use of thi spice was judicious and accurate to make it a great accompaniment to the palate.

Rating #930 - January 20, 2014 - $8.00CAD for 12 oz. at #mondaynightbeers at the Underground Tap & Grill - Opaque dark brown/black pour with a bubbly head that fades quickly. Aroma is toasted oak, chocolate, espresso. Mild carbonation, medium-heavy alcohol warmth (could be the heat-heat). Palate is more chocolatey roasty malt, and a fiery chipotle heat. Rip-roaring spicy stout. Fantastic. Sessionable only for heat freaks Iím sure at 6.6%


If you are old enough to remember VHS, there was a video called, "I Am Only a Bill". It was a civic lesson on how a bill becomes a law. In fact, just last week CNN featured it during the government shutdown. It is a straightforward and candid little video. It points out that it is not easy to go from an idea to a law. Why do I bring this up? The people opposed to the CRPD are concerned that even if the ratification resolution that comes out of the Senate has reservations, understandings, and declarations that address their issues in a way they like, that future Senates could undo what they like. Well, that is true, but the same could be said for anything that the Senate passes.
The House of Representatives does not deal with treaties.
Here's the process that would be required to change a treaty that has already been ratified.
1. A Senator or Senators would draft a resolution to change the treaty. It could be their idea, the President could suggest it, or the Supreme Court could have rendered a decision that said part of a ratified treaty was unconstitutional.
2. The new resolution idea would be referred to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The committee would hold a hearing or hearings. The resolution may be handled by a subcommittee.
3. If a resolution is handled by a subcommittee, after hearings, the subcommittee would hold a mark up, where amendments to the resolution could be offered.
4. If a majority of the subcommittee votes for the amended resolution, it would then be considered by the full Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which could amend it further.
5. The committee would write a report on the treaty containing the treaty, the resolution as amended, and testimony.
6. If a majority of the full committee voted for it, the resolution would be put on the Senate calendar. Usually resolutions to ratify a treaty or amend a ratified treaty are not put on the Senate calendar until or unless the Senate Majority Leader is assured it would pass by the required minimum of 67 votes.
7. The President may elect to sign or not sign the resolution to ratify the Senate sends him or her.
The process I just described can take a very long time and in fact a second swipe at a treaty already ratified may NEVER happen. Therefore, it makes sense, for those who object to certain things in a treaty being considered for the first time, to work with others to develop reservations, understandings, and declarations that address their concerns.

Trudeau heads to Mexico after blunt talk about alternatives to NAFTA
Sense of trepidation in Mexico has given way to anger and resolve
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit to Mexico City today may include some uncomfortable moments, coming the day after a visit to Washington that included discussion about creating a new free trade deal without Mexico.
During talks at the White House Wednesday, President Donald Trump suggested the possibility of replacing NAFTA with a new U.S.-Canada deal that would leave Mexico out in the cold.
The proposal came during a meeting at the White House between the two leaders and eight of their most senior advisers.
According to a source close to the talks, Trudeau told Trump his preferred option was to modernize the continental accord that exists today. But speaking to media after the talks, Trudeau also appeared to signal openness to a new two-country accord if that is what it takes to save free trade between the U.S. and Canada.
Now Trudeau travels to Mexico for meetings with President Enrique Pena Nieto.
NAFTA minus Mexico?
The original free trade agreement signed between the United States and Canada in 1988 did not include Mexico.
Mexico joined in 1994 and has been a full member of NAFTA ever since.
But Mexico has always been the odd man out in the sense that it is the only developing country in the pact, with wages far lower on average than the other two member-states.
That disparity has made Mexico a target for NAFTA critics from the left as well as from the populist right represented by Trump. Labour unions, such as the Canadian union Unifor, have lobbied hard for the NAFTA renegotiation to address those disparities.
One of the few areas where there is broad agreement between the Trump and Trudeau governments is that Mexico needs to raise labour and environmental standards in order to even the playing field.
And though the Trump administration's trade actions so far have targeted Canadian airplanes and lumber more than anything produced south of the Rio Grande, the rhetoric of the administration and the anger of the Trump base have been focused on Mexico, not Canada.
Mexico angry but resolute
The Mexico Trudeau visits Thursday is a different country in some ways than it was when Trump took the oath of office in January.
Trump was deeply unpopular in Mexico already. But the sense of trepidation in the country has given way to anger and resolve.
Comments this week by the two senior ministers handling the NAFTA and Trump files for Mexico suggest a growing realization — and even acceptance — that NAFTA could be over for Mexico.
"Mexico is much bigger than NAFTA," Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray told the Mexican Senate on Tuesday. "We have to be prepared for the different scenarios that could come out of this negotiation."
And in what sounded like a direct shot at Trump, he said: "We're not negotiating this treaty on social media or through Twitter. We're doing it with professionals, acting in good faith, and we'll only continue with this treaty if it's in the national interest."
Mexico's Trump whisperer
It was quite a change of tone from the man who once had to resign from cabinet to take the blame for Pena Nieto's ill-considered invitation for Trump to visit Mexico during his presidential campaign.
Indeed, Videgaray's recent career trajectory provides an insight into Mexico's tumultuous relationship with the U.S. president.
Shortly after Videgaray was fired for his perceived closeness to Trump, Trump won the U.S. election, and Videgaray — the only senior Mexican politician who had any relationship with the new U.S. leader — returned to cabinet with a promotion to foreign minister.
Those were the days when Mexico still believed the relationship could be salvaged. Since then, the PRI government has seen its approval levels plummet, mostly because Pena Nieto was perceived by Mexicans to be weak in his dealings with Trump.
The government has learned that being friendly with Trump has a high domestic cost but produces few tangible benefits for Mexico, and so has moved to align itself more closely with Mexican popular opinion. That is why Videgaray chose to speak more about Mexico's "sovereignty and dignity" at the Senate, than about co-operation and shared interests.
"The goodwill and constructive spirit of our negotiators should not be confused" he warned, "with a decision to abandon the causes and interests of our nation."
NAFTA's value seen as declining
Economy Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo is the man in charge of Mexico's NAFTA team, and he said this week that Mexico has advanced to a point where it can live without the accord.
NAFTA "no longer has the value it once had in terms of market access," he said Tuesday, because tariffs have fallen worldwide.
As an example, Guajardo said Mexico's share of the U.S. textile market had actually fallen to half of its pre-NAFTA level, because even though the U.S. lifted tariffs on Mexico, it also lowered them on China and Vietnam.
"Without a doubt, there's life after NAFTA," he said, "and that's what gives us strength in the negotiations."

Cyber AI Response in an Era of Machine-Speed Attacks
The digital battleground has shifted from nation-states to corporations. With attacks causing damage in seconds, it’s critical that security technology can fight back. It’s not enough to merely automate encoded human knowledge from a predefined playbook – as threats become smarter and stealthier, our defenses must be equally intelligent. Across cloud, network, IoT devices, and email, autonomous response takes precise action, thwarting threats without causing business disruption. This session will take a deep dive into the world’s first AI-powered autonomous response capability, which is stopping an attack every three seconds around the world.

The city of Gdańsk invites the guests not only to the Baltic Sea or sail routes, but also to historic places, festivals and concerts. Gdańsk makes sure that every person will find something interesting for them – museums, fairs, opera, summer music stage or street performances create a rich cultural offer for tourists.
Enthusiasts of walking tours will become convinced that Gdańsk is a paradise for them. Tourists craving for open air movement will find here vast, sandy beaches, coastal island with nature reserves and tourist trails of the total length of a hundred kilometres. Those routes lead to Sopot, Gdynia, Kartuzy or Tczew. Thematic trails, for example those concerning Westerplatte, Günter Grass or Jan Heweliusz, encourage the guests to the discovery of the city. Moreover, bicycle route on the Sobieszowska Island is an excellent idea for cyclists.
Gdańsk tempts tourists with marvellous and historic streets (for example Długa Street and Długi Targ, both creating a Royal Route), impressive buildings (the most treasured building in Gdańsk, its town hall) or characteristic places – like the Neptune Fountain, a recognised symbol of the city. Worth seeing are also Golden Gate and Green Gate, built in 16th and 17th centuries or famous Żuraw, the biggest crane of medieval Europe, one of the most characteristic places in Gdańsk. Furthermore, one must go through Mariacka Street to the Mariacki Church. Royal Chapel, Old Town or treasured churches are as marvellous as Oliwski Park, lighthouse and monuments. It is hard to list all worthy places – Gdańsk is full of them. Moreover, the city offers theatres, clubs, pubs or fairs (St. Dominic Fair and Festival) – it is impossible to be bored in this city.

Rangers defender Aidan Wilson has agreed the terms of an emergency loan move to Scottish Championship side Dumbarton, it has been confirmed.
The second-tier outfit announced on their official website on Friday that the 19-year-old has completed a temporary transfer from Ibrox.
SQUAD NEWS | Sons boss Stevie Aitken adds to his squad with an emergency loan signing – more news online – https://t.co/v16ZcrSj8u
— Dumbarton FC (@Dumbartonfc) February 9, 2018
Dumbarton manager Stevie Aitken is delighted to have secured the signing of a player who has already played for the Rangers first team.
“We are a little short on bodies right now, so Aidan comes in at a good time,” said Aitken, as quoted by the Dumbarton official site. “He’s highly thought of at Rangers and Ian (Durrant) speaks highly of him.”
The 19-year-old centre-back has made three appearances for the Rangers first-team since Pedro Caixinha handed him his senior debut last May.
Wilson has been at Rangers for his whole career and this is his first loan move away from the club.
The centre-back joins Dumbarton as they sit ninth in the Championship and they are set to be next in action against Greenock Morton on Saturday.
In other Rangers transfer news, it can be revealed that a key first teamer has sensationally asked to leave after the board failed to stick to their promise of giving him a new deal during the transfer window.

While it hasn’t gained the media traction that the Lakers‘ upcoming No. 2 pick or Chris Paul‘s pending free agency have, the fact that Jerry West, a purple and gold legend, could leave his post with Golden State to join not the Lakers but the Clippers would shake the L.A. basketball landscape, Bill Plaschke of the Los Angeles Times writes.
Having beaten the Lakers in 18 of their past 20 meetings, the Clippers are officially on top of the intercity rivalry. Poaching West from Golden State would only add to the growing divide between the two franchises.
“Sometimes I thought in my life that maybe that [rejoining the Lakers] might be something that I can revisit, or they would want me to revisit, but that didn’t happen,” West said recently. “It kind of sent me a message that they wanted to go elsewhere, which was fine.”
While West hasn’t worked with the Lakers in an official capacity for 17 years, he’s still synonymous with the franchise. The fact that he’s intrigued by the possibility of joining Steve Ballmer and the Clippers is symbolic of the changing times.
There’s more from the Pacific Division:
- A pair of tickets for Game 5 of the NBA Finals has sold for $90K, Darren Rovell of ESPN writes. The Warriors and Cavaliers will tip off in the Bay Area tomorrow. The price point, however, falls just shy of last year’s finale, when two seats to Game 7 went for $99K.
- Confusion arose in Game 4 of the NBA Finals when officials appeared to retroactively change the recipient of a technical foul. Adi Joseph of USA Today compiled an oral history of the incident. Officials say that the technical foul had always been awarded to Warriors coach Steve Kerr and that there had simply been a miscommunication.
- Never one to shy away from controversy, Warriors forward Draymond Green riled the feathers of Cavaliers fans after Game 4. In the same Joseph article Green is quoted as saying “I really don’t pay much attention to anyone in Cleveland, honestly. They don’t seem to be the sharpest people around.“

Brave's Battles: Why did I do this? (April 23/24)
(This Post relates to the weekend of 23&24th of April, that was some time ago and my memory has degraded since then.)
I thought I'd left Yu-Gi-Oh behind, well maybe not completely as it would appear since today I played... Vylons vs Plants... Overgrown monstrous plants, considering I haven't "quit" 3 years ago when I picked up Vanguard and haven't played a deck in 12 months I was amazed I was somehow able to pull off a win, albeit my opponent was almost certainly holding back their deck's full pwer they still put me through the ropes with some gargantuan thing that got stronger the more occupied the board was. Although I bricked I was eventually able to come up with a combo that allowed me to get to Vylon Omega and from there I was able to recover and begin a push back even if It did require a slightly self destructing myself to stop a bad situation from going down south entirely. Unfortunately while I was able to recall certain interaction rulings that I was able to use to my advantage to push back and take control to eventually land a finishing blow with a piercing shot from a specially equipped Vylon Omega I can not remember the name of my opponent's cards but there was a lot of Level 8 Flower Princesses in there so anyone more active with the game still may know what it was I was facing.
The more amusing thing from this I guess is that since playing just that one game I've picked up Yu-Gi-Oh World Duel Carnival for Nintendo 3DS and I play on it couple of hours most nights before slumber.
Leaving the topic of Yu-Gi-Oh I'm moving on to Pokémon. 24th Young's Hobbies had an ORAS VG swiss tournament, or rather it was supposed to be. But only four people turned up, but four is better than three as four is the minimum required player count. I don't really play Pokemon beyond just playing the game and trying to complete the Pokédex (-event Pokémon as I'm told they don't count towards the rewards for "completion") so entering a local was a new experience. We played Round Robin due to just 4 players. I played with whatever I had loaded at the time, I don't metagame in Pokémon it's something I need to learn.
Level 50 Cap, Double Battle VGC rules ect.
I was expecting to come last, I did come last, but I managed to defeat one person in one 2/3 2-1, only for them to then 2-0 me in a rematch as an extra found cause we both finished 2/1(6 points) and apparently instead of following tiebreakers we played off again. This time with me loosing by a landslide.
And that day I made the same mistake several time, I lost count how many. Salamance and Primal Kyogre on my board. I try to use Flamethrower and of course it doesn't work. You'd have thought I'd have learnt after the first time or even remembered to not do it at all, but I still made that mistake at least 3 times, and more than that to. I believe that means I fulfil the condition of scrub. On the plus side the only way to go is up right?
(Now to write the rest of my Catch Up stuff)

Energy Crisis Impacts for Supported and Sheltered Housing- SFHA Briefing
The SFHA has been gathering evidence about the ongoing impact of the energy crisis and has reported on the specific difficulties faced by people living in supported and sheltered housing and providers of these services.
On the 23rd of August, Nicola Sturgeon hosted an energy summit of representatives from the Scottish Government, energy companies and advice organisations. The summit focused on necessary next steps to be taken by the UK government and practical action to help households through the energy crisis. Following the summit, the Scottish Federation of Housing Associations has been gathering information about the impact of the energy crisis on its members and has put together a briefing about the specific impact for supported and sheltered housing. Read more on the SFHA website.
While the energy crisis is affecting all consumers, there is evidence that suggests that social housing tenants living in supported or sheltered housing are more vulnerable to the impact of increasing energy costs. The SFHA is calling for immediate progress to resolve the practical barriers faced by housing associations and support for the most vulnerable in society.
