Two months after the fall of Roe v. Wade, abortion has been banned or severely restricted in at least 14 states, energizing leaders of the anti-abortion movement but also activating voters who are opposed to many of these measures. With so much at stake in the next few election cycles — and women’s lives hanging in the balance — both sides of this fight are strategizing their next moves.
For the anti-abortion movement, the emerging plan is an all-out fight for fetal personhood. In many ways this is no surprise — since the 1960s, the movement’s ultimate goal has been to secure legal protections for fetuses and embryos, despite the harm that could be done to the health and livelihoods of pregnant women. The recognition of fetal personhood nationwide could mean a total ban on abortion for everyone in the United States, and if an increasingly sophisticated minority of anti-abortion extremists have their way, many more women would face criminal charges for ending their pregnancies.

Following the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which turned the issue of abortion access back to the states, nearly one-third of all US states have banned or severely restricted access to the procedure. At least seven states, including Alabama, Kentucky and Missouri, have banned abortions with no exceptions for rape or incest.
Health care providers and abortion activists have continued to file legal challenges to stop bans in several states from being enacted. In South Carolina, a judge has temporarily blocked a six-week ban from going into effect, though the state's House recently passed a bill banning nearly all abortions. In North Dakota, a judge blocked the state's trigger ban the day before it was set to go into effect.
Health impacts for pregnant people in post-Roe America

An estimated 138K women per year will be denied abortions in their home states following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. This population will have four options, and each carries the risk of adverse health outcomes and behaviors. To effectively adapt their maternal and reproductive health service offerings, stakeholders must understand the forecasted outcomes and volumes for each pathway below:
- Carry the pregnancy to term
- Travel out of state for legal abortion
- Order “extralegal” medication abortion by mail
- Attempt an unsafe abortion
OPINION: The reversal of Roe v. Wade is a tragedy not just for the United States, but for women everywhere
By TK Sundari Ravindran, Pascale Allotey, Sofia Gruskin
The past decades have brought modest improvements to women’s reproductive health around the world. Over the last 30 years, global rates of unintended pregnancies have thankfully declined by almost 20 percent, presumably in part because of better access to education and contraceptives. In 1973, the US Supreme Court, ruling in Roe v. Wade, declared an American woman’s right to an abortion to be fundamental and constitutionally protected. This landmark decision helped inspire many countries around the world to enshrine the individual right to bodily autonomy in law or expand access to abortion services — including Canada and India. Many women have been able to access safe abortions and post-abortion care.
Then the 2022 US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

TIJUANA, Mexico — In the months since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Luisa García has noticed a sharp and striking trend: More Americans are seeking her clinic's services in Tijuana, Mexico.
García is the director of Profem Tijuana, where people can get abortions just a few steps across the San Ysidro border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana.

Abortion travel isn’t new. People have been crossing national and state borders to get abortion care since the 1960s, when air travel became more common and affordable.
The number of people who need to travel and the distances they must travel for care will increase following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

GENEVA (Reuters) - A UN committee on Tuesday condemned the overturning of the constitutional right to abortion in the United States, saying it was hitting racial and ethnic minorities hardest and asked Washington to take mitigation measures.
The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination said it was "deeply concerned" that the U.S. Supreme
Court decision in June that ended the nationwide right to abortion had a
"disparate impact on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of
racial and ethnic minorities, particularly those with low incomes."

The number of women signing up to vote has jumped in key midterm battleground states since the Supreme Court struck down a national right to abortion, with Democrats benefiting as the issue pushes to the forefront in campaigns.
Women have outpaced men in new voter registrations by 11 percentage points in Ohio, 12 points in Pennsylvania and 15 points in Wisconsin since the court’s June 24 ruling. In Georgia, the margin was 6 points and in North Carolina 7 points.

While debate still rages in the US over the repeal of Roe v Wade, a much less noisy argument is unfolding in Japan over the legalisation of so-called medically induced abortions.
In May, a senior health ministry official told parliament it was finally set to approve an abortion pill manufactured by British pharmaceutical company Linepharma International. But he also said that women will still need to "gain the consent of their partner" before the pills can be administered - a stipulation pro-choice campaigners have called patriarchal and outdated.
To mark the first anniversary of SB 8 going into effect, The 19th spoke with Texans who sought an abortion in this past year. Each has a different story. But all shared similar sentiments: anger, sorrow, frustration and fear.

Tiff found out she was pregnant on New Year’s Day. Her period was three days late, just enough to suspect that something was off. Still, when she saw the two pink lines, she was shocked.
She was 16. She didn’t know what to do or what would happen with her parents, whom she describes as conservative.

Sporting a modern, roof prism design, these 10 x magnification Bresser Wave binoculars will get you closer to the action in style. Using these superb binoculars means that a subject one kilometre away will appear to be as close as just 100 metres.
The binoculars have a sturdy and high-quality feel which is enhanced by the rubber armoured coating, providing protection and a comfortable, non-slip grip.
Very few people have 20:20 vision and the Wave binoculars have individual dioptre control which accommodates users with widely differing eye prescriptions. The ‘twist-up’ eyepieces allow the user to set the perfect ‘eye-to-lens’ distance, even when wearing glasses.
The optics are made using Barium-Crown glass (BaK-4) and are fully multi-coated, reducing reflections and increasing light transmission. The UR coating on the prism produces a brighter and clearer image, which is particularly useful in poor weather and challenging light conditions. The 42 mm objective lenses are very practical which keep the overall dimensions low, making the binoculars a manageable size. Normally, smaller objective lenses will offer reduced visibility in twilight conditions, but the superb optics in the Wave work well and provide excellent performance.
Bresser Wave binoculars are designed to give exceptional optical performance and are ideal for quality minded users who enjoy walking, bird watching or sports viewing. Factory sealed, these binoculars are waterproof and are purged with inert gas which further reduces the chance of any lens fogging.

Turn off your computer safely
Your Windows operating system didn't come with any instructions, which can lead to problems when you're unaware of a supposedly basic aspect that "you should know." One of these "basics" is how to correctly turn off your computer.
At first glance, shutting down your computer should seem pretty simple. In Windows 7 or 10 you click on the Start button and then the power icon or text. However, in Windows 8 the process is tricky. Click the Windows icon in the bottom left and the tiled home screen will appear. You'll see a power icon in the top right corner to click on. Or you can mouse over the top right of the screen to bring up Settings, which contains the Power button. I'm not sure how a newcomer to Win 8 is supposed to intuitively know this.
When you click on Power you'll have three options: shut down, restart, or sleep, which sounds self-descriptive but can be deceptive depending on the computer's operating system.
In Windows 7, but not 8 or 10, the Shut Down command performs an orderly termination of critical operating system files, clears the memory, closes programs, backs up changes, and powers down the hard drive.
This last step is important since the hard drive spins at around 6000 revolutions per minute and the Shut Down command will let it slow down, come to a full stop, and then park the heads to prevent damage if the computer is jostled. Shutting down the computer and immediately pushing the power button again before the hard drive completely stops can cause damage as the drive is abruptly wrenched back to full speed. Use Restart instead since it shuts down and restarts the computer but the hard drive continues to run at full speed.
Sleep will save all of the computer's settings in memory and put it into a low power state while you're away. When you return and wake it up, usually by hitting the Enter key, your computer will be ready to quickly resume where you left off.
Windows 8 and 10 complicate this nice arrangement of choices. In these systems, which most of you are using, Shut Down does not work as it does in Win 7. Because 8 and 10 are also used for tablets there is a need for the operating system to boot up quickly so, instead of shutting off the computer, Shut Down puts the computer into a hybrid sleep where it appears to be shut off but many system files and settings are stored in memory and not cleared, which allows for a fast start.
That's fine until your computer is not running well or a program has crashed. Using Shut Down in Win 8 or 10 will not totally refresh your computer and often the same problems will persist after re-booting. To reset a Win 8 or 10 computer you'll have to use the Restart command.
There is another method of shutting down a computer which can do tremendous damage to the operating system and programs. It's called a cold shut down wherein someone holds down the computer's power button until it abruptly shuts off. The result is that tons of Windows system files that are in use aren't saved and the operating system and programs could be permanently damaged and crash upon re-boot. The only time to use a cold shut down is if the computer is completely frozen and will not respond.
An iPad, iPhone, or Android device goes to sleep when not in use but it is possible to re-boot a mobile device which may be necessary if it's running slowly or malfunctioning. On an iPad, iPhone, or Android device push and hold the power button on the top or right side of the device. When asked in a pop up, confirm that you want to shut down the device. Hold the power button again to restart the device. The Lifewire site has instructions for doing this on an iPad (http://tinyurl.com/y79yxfep) and an Android device.

“As Indigenous Peoples regain their strength, they continue to defend their inherent rights and destroy all aspects of colonization until all that remains is a world that is safe and joyous for all of our kin, human or not.
As settler societies continue their efforts to digitize and commodify all aspects of life, Indigenous Peoples across the world continue to demand jurisdiction and governance over information that is relevant to their people. Key to the success of these movements is understanding digital data’s ability to transform the current social realities and day-to-day experiences of all people for better or worse.”

Linda Ballou’s Lost Angel Walkabout isn’t your standard collection of travel essays. At first impression it reads more like nature writing than anything else. Sure, most travelers are drawn to the scenic beauty of the countries they visit, or a powerful sea or desert expanse. However, Ballou brings an intelligent meditation to her travels in the wilderness. Her pages express a deep appreciation of nature, but never slip into the New Age-y over-written romanticizing that can put a reader off.
And Linda Ballou gets deep into nature. Tale after tale has her weathering wild rapids in a kayak, hiking alone through forests and over mountains, or managing long difficult distances on her horse. The whole while Ballou remains a humble student of the forces of nature around her, the history of the land, and of her journey as a whole.
Ballou is a very culturally conscious traveler. Her stories bring with them a wealth of information about an area. She seems to travel with a researched understanding of a place’s history, customs, and ecological situation. Indeed, many chapters are followed with an Eco-Alert, informing readers of issues specific to an area and, sometimes, what they can do to raise awareness or help.
The book forays into Ballou’s personal life and her relationship with her mother, though it is with a deep respect to the parties involved and a well-written intimacy that never leaves the reader shocked or scandalized.
On certain journeys Ballou brings with her the words of great travel writers and adventurists who came before her. Reflected in their words, Ballou’s meditations leave a deep impact. She also includes a smart interview with travel writing legend Tim Cahill.
Ballou’s stories don’t rely on the novelty of far-flung or truly obscure places. In fact, the bulk of her tales take place at home in America. She avoids relying on the shock value or randomness of a situation, and instead focuses on the depth of the experience. There are no overbearing characters or exhaustive quirkiness to sour the reader, just smart writing.

Print, graphics, 2020
Created for the GARAGE Museum library’s project «One copy», 2020
The book «Cloud’s student» is a result of the self-educational process that has lasted for several years. This process often acted like a cloud: it dissolved and disappeared, then it reappeared in my life, came to the fore and even pierced other projects. I watched the movement and shapes of the clouds and called it "cloud lessons". Sketches, texts, photographs and painting sketches described and recorded an infinite variety of heavenly states, which reflected the feelings and thoughts of the beholder.
Syncing with nature through contemplation became my temporary escapism practice and an alternative to the formal education I was receiving then. I wanted to find something utterly accessible, involving unmediated and pure perception, free from frameworks and authoritative opinions. In this case, clouds became universal educational substance: visual information that can be perceived in a variety of ways. I tried to maintain the naive perspective of a student - I kept a notebook for observations of the impartial and incomprehensible nature. The key was a simple action: gaze into the sky.
Drawings and texts from these notebooks accompanied by graphics were included in the «Cloud’s student» book. Now the book is present in the library of the GARAGE Museum, where you can look through its electronic version.

©1997 Maya Angelou; (P)1997 Random House Audio, Inc.
"What a woman! What a heart!" (AudioFile)
"Remarkable....A great lady moving right on through a great memoir." (Kirkus Reviews)
As always, Maya Angelou tells a human story which, although is a powerful narrative on the African American experience of that time, transcends all race and culture and reminds us of the true beauty of humanity - Love, in its most beautiful and ugliest of forms. Hearing any volume of Dr Angelou's work narrated by her own unique voice is an inspiring experience.
Yes, because to hear Ms Angelou's own voice makes it so much more interesting. If that's even possible.
This is very good listening. The reader (Dr. Angelou) pulls you into the book as if you were their. I am looking forward in listening to other books by Dr. Angelou.
I like best how I feel like I can visualize what is being said.
Dr. Angelou brings the story alive
yes. I could not turn it off
"A Real Woman's point of view"
She is exceptional. Direct, soft, hard, savy, resourceful, a real woman with a great point of view. Through all her pain and suffering she can still stand tall and tell her real story. Amazing woman.
it was really awesome and inspirational not to give and work hard on what you believe in
"Really, really good!"
I enjoyed The Heart of a Woman. It kept my attention. Excellent. Great read for weekend of relaxation.
I loved this story. I listened as often as possible until I completed it. I would recommend it to all fans of Ms. Angelou and those who enjoy descriptive story telling.
"Finally a memoir of a interesting life told in an interesting voice-her own."
Her story is so interesting---where she went and what she accomplished as a poor young black single mother at a time when so much was denied her is so much more powerful than memoirs of those who had so much handed to them, who are famous for being famous.
this 3rd part of Maya Angelou's autobiography is a forthright account of the years she raised her son from age 12 to his college entrance .
An intimate look at a larger-than-life woman. No slick packaging or pretense. Like Maya Angelou's other books about her life, she keeps it honest and real. Listening, I felt like I was sitting with a friend over coffee. With all of her adventures and experiences, she describes a life that anyone can relate to and identify with.
"The recording skipped many times during Chapters"
The recording skipped many times during Chapters 2 and 3. I was disappointed because it was a good story.

The magic of the stars on the mirror of MAGIC
This shot shows the trail left by the stars (star trails – most commonly known), caused by the rotation of the Earth, captured with a long exposure time. The photo is striking because the tails of stars are reflected on the mirror of one of the two telescopes Major Atmospheric Gamma- ray Imaging Cherenkov, which also involves INAF and INFN .
It is an extraordinary image that was made by the Portuguese astrophotographer Miguel Claro in Los Andenes , near the observatory Roque de los Muchachos ( island of La Palma in the Canary Islands), where MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma- ray imaging Cherenkov telescopes ), a system of two telescopes was placed to observe celestial phenomena totally different from the traditional optical instruments.
The telescopes Major Atmospheric Gamma- ray Imaging Cherenkov installed on the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands. The photo and was made by the Portuguese astrophotographer Miguel Claro.
What you see in this picture are thousands and thousands of trails of stars also reflected on the mirror of one of the two MAGIC telescopes. We’re talking about 270 mirrors that can be individually managed. The photo above is the spectacular result of 53 shots taken with a Canon 60Da (ISO 2500 , 24mm at f / 2, Exp 15 seconds).
Take the picture to the stars has a very simple method, but make a portrait of a tail of a star is not as easy. You need a longer exposure time (even from 10 minutes to 6 hours): this technique allows you to show how the Earth’s rotation can affect movement.
Among the scientific objectives of MAGIC ‘s observation of active galactic nuclei (AGN ), whose immense radiation emission is powered by supermassive black holes , pulsars – neutron stars or rapidly rotating around their axis – and flashes of gamma radiation (Gamma – Ray Burst, GRB ) . MAGIC is designed to capture visible light, using the atmosphere as a natural drive to detect high-energy gamma rays emitted by various cosmic sources.
MAGIC project works together around 150 researchers from nine countries, including Italy with the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). INFN was among the founders of the MAGIC telescope binocular range, contributing so much of the reflective surface and electronics. Currently participates in the experiment with groups from the Universities of Padua, Udine, Trieste, Siena and Como. INAF, instead, is entered in the experiment MAGIC in 2006 and made a part of the mirrors of the second telescope. Scientists INFN and INAF contribute to technical and scientific activities of the experiment, actively participating in the definition of scientific programs, the socket data and their analysis and interpretation.

Halloween Inspiration: Aliens
Posted on October 14 2012
I've been dreaming of an intergalactic alien costume for years and years, but it never fully comes together in time for Halloween. Each season, the out-of-this-world idea pops back into my brain, waiting to finally land on Earth! The best part of this costume is that aliens can really be anything--a green martian, a space explorer, a slimy, evil monster, or even ET, but my vision is this: the Mousse Altesse Tights by Gerbe ("ALIENS!" was my first thought when I saw these super sheer tights. You could try any color, but I like absinthe), a bodysuit (like the Anja Teddy), the Lennox necklace, a homemade cape with a high collar, lots of green face paint, a sparkly green manicure, and big round sunglasses. Take me to your leader!

For me, realizing function of dissatisfaction as inherent to strategies of God (Consciousness) knowing Itself through us (as individuation) takes us associated with the opt-in form. It relieves us from the burden of endeavouring to fix ourselves and opens us instead to probability of take place new relationship to dissatisfaction: one that moves about it as part of the flow of a beautiful living ongoing.
Other sites and blogs offer advice, although a little gem seems rather left-handed. One blog, which i won't advertise, blatantly blasts what they call "content mills." Money-making niches many such blogs and sites this kind of attitude. I ignore these items. If I'm paid to write, then I so. If, instead want to see it, they will. If they like it, they'll read very much. If not, they don't. I get paid; that's why I'm being employed by a living your life. And, by the way, Textbroker isn't a content generator. You're writing many techniques from blogs to advertisements to informative articles for clienteles.
With a married relationship in crisis and in the risk of separation and Divorce, make sure to get clear about exactly what the exact concern is that is opening the door to Divorce so to know what in order to up against.
One of the most popular problems of relationship is communication, or better said lack of communication. You most likely are dreaming of hearing those three words, but your guy may not really on liquids track as yours. Acknowledge how you sense about your own. Tell him how important he usually you. Speak about your dreams for upcoming. Once he knows that you have been looking towards most likely that involves love, commitment, and even perhaps marriage, he's going to also start looking at things differently.
Money could be the root just about all evil. Money and material things are not important. The indegent are more pleasant. Rich people are selfish. Wealthy people act crazy. There's really no such thing as a free lunch. I will not afford getting this done. It is too expensive. Money does not grow on trees. Successful people aren't happy.

Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay
Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay have a few things in common. Firstly, they both produce popular dry and off-dry white wines. Secondly, wines from both of these grapes cover a range of quality levels, from easy-drinking to complex styles. Thirdly, they’re both widely planted across the globe although Chardonnay occupies more vineyard hectares than Pinot Grigio. They also both have a similar color and alcohol level. However, where these varieties differ is in the hues of their skins, aroma, and flavor profiles, and the regions where each is prominent.
Pinot Grigio hails from Burgundy in France where its parent Pinot Noir also thrives. It’s known as Pinot Gris (France and French style wines) and Grauburgunder (Germany). In fact, as with most Vitis vinifera grapes, Pinot Grigio has numerous names!
Northern Italy is admired worldwide as a benchmark producer of Pinot Grigio. Alsace in France and Oregon in the northwest of America also make prestigious wines from this variety. In Italy, Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Lombardy are the chief areas for Pinot Grigio production. Friuli-Venezia Giulia is famous for premium quality Pinot Grigio which bears little resemblance to the neutral, easy-drinking mass-produced wines from the Veneto plain.
Main characteristics of Pinot Grigio
Pinot Grigio has a pinkish-grey skin. This is because it’s a mutant of the ancient black Pinot Noir variety.
Pinot Grigio is light-bodied with delicate, elegant aromas and flavors.
Aromas and flavors include citrus (lime and lemon), orchard fruit (pear and apple), stone fruit (white nectarine), ginger, and spice.
Pinot Grigio also has honey and floral tones, bitter almond, and mineral salinity.
Italian expressions of this grape are usually brightly acidic.
High-volume Italian Pinot Grigio and some Alsace Pinot Gris are off-dry.
Abv level is 11.5% to 13.5%.
Examples of Pinot Grigio
- Pinot Grigio, Abbazia di Novacella 2019 , Alto Adige, Italy
- Signature Collection Pinot Grigio, Alessandro Berselli, 2020, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
- Pinot Grigio delle Venezie, Piccini, 2020, Veneto, Italy
Like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay comes from France’s Burgundy area, and it’s grown in just about every wine region in both the Old and New Worlds. It’s often seen as a blank canvas for winemakers because it’s classed as non-aromatic. This means that growers and winemakers can experiment with different techniques to craft an interesting wine – something that’s avoided with more aromatic varieties. The result is that Chardonnay can display high acidity and green fruit in a spot like Chablis and tropical fruit with high alcohol in California. The expression of this grape varies greatly in character across regions and countries, a feature that makes it very drinkable and popular.
In Italy, it’s widely planted for both high-volume IGT wines and top-tier classifications. Chardonnay is found everywhere from the cool climes of Piedmont where it has a DOC in Langhe to the hot vineyards of Sicily. Champagne is also a key grape in Champagne Method sparkling wines around the world including Franciacorta in Brescia in Lombardy.
Main characteristics of Chardonnay
Chardonnay is a green-skinned grape.
Young cool climate wine is acidic with green apple and citrus and a light to medium body.
Warm climate Chardonnay features stone fruit and tropical fruit with gentle acidity and a full body.
Winery techniques and maturation can add butter, cream, vanilla, coconut, spice, and toasty notes.
Chardonnay can be produced in both a simple fruity style for early drinking and complex, premium expressions.
Top-tier Chardonnay can age for years.
In warm regions, it can reach 14.5% abv.
Examples of Chardonnay:
- 940 Riserva Brut Franciacorta 2011, Le Quattro Terre, Lombardy, Italy
- Chardonnay 2018, Feudo Disisa, Sicily, Italy
- Maturum Chardonnay 2018, K. Martini & Sohn, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy
Pinot Grigio vs Chardonnay: Origin
Pinot Grigio is a mutation of the legendary Burgundy grape Pinot Noir plus it’s a distant cousin of Chardonnay. After it emerged in Burgundy, it traveled to Switzerland where it was a popular wine among the nobility. The grape’s next stop was over the Alps into northern Italy where it has thrived since. Today, Pinot Grigio/ Gris is cultivated in many European countries with outstanding wines produced in Italy, Alsace in France, and Germany. It’s also widely planted in all the major New World wine regions.
Like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay hails from that cradle of grape varieties, Burgundy. In former times, it was often confused with Pinot Blanc. Ampelographers have established that Chardonnay is a cross between Pinot noir and a lesser-known grape called Gouais Blanc. Chardonnay has easily spread around the world because it’s easy to cultivate and very malleable in the winery meaning vintners can leave their mark on it. Benchmark expressions come from Burgundy, and it features in wine portfolios of many European winemaking areas. It’s also a big grape in New World wine-producing nations where it’s produced for high-volume wines and crafted for premium wines. Outside France and Italy, Pinot Grigio is Oregon’s leading white grape. In this northwestern US area, it’s known as Pinot Gris.
Pinot Grigio vs Chardonnay: Grapes
Oenologists think that Pinot Grigio comes from the Burgundy region in France where its highly-revered parent, Pinot Noir lives. Pinot Noir has produced numerous mutations with Pinot Gris being one of the more famous. Like its parent, Pinot Gris is an early budding and early ripening variety.
It can produce wines that range from delicate and acidic to medium to full-bodied and rich depending on where it’s grown. Northern Italy is renowned for Pinot Grigio wines, but the quality varies across the region. In Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia grapes are similar to the smaller berries found in France and Germany so wines have greater concentration. On the Veneto plains, a larger grape with more dilute flavors is cultivated for high-volume wines.
This popular grape hails from Burgundy and is an early budder. This can pose a threat to Chardonnay as spring frosts are common in this area. However, vignerons have many methods to combat this and have built a benchmark reputation for Chardonnay that’s a reference point around the globe. It produces wines that range from eye-wateringly acidic Chablis in northern Burgundy to rich, layered, full-bodied styles found in California and Australia. As well as making high-end wines, Chardonnay is planted in hot fertile regions in the South of France, Chile, Australia, and California for the production of easy-drinking wines.
Pinot Grigio: Tasting Notes
Pinot Grigio’s aromas and flavors vary depending on where it’s grown and how it’s vinified. In Italy, a typical Veneto plain, off-dry Pinot Grigio features light citrus and stone fruit notes, and high acidity. In Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, a dry Pinot Grigio displays more finesse and depth, with layers of citrus and stone fruit, minerality, ginger and floral notes. On the whole, Pinot Grigio is a food-friendly wine. To pair it successfully, it’s best to think in terms of dry and off-dry and what dishes match best with these components.
Appetizers: Shrimp or oyster starters, mozzarella and tomato, crudités, pitta bread and hummus, and even potato chips (the salt enhances the wine’s fruitiness).
Entrées: Lightly herby chicken, sushi, artichoke salad with fennel and asparagus, fried fish (the acidity cuts through the fat), seafood salad, pasta with light creamy sauces. Off-dry Pinot Grigio goes well with slightly spicy Asian dishes because the sugar and chili heat balance one another.
Dessert: White and dark chocolate, fruit platters, crème brulee.
Cheese: Gruyère, Brie, Mozzarella.
Chardonnay: Tasting Notes
Chardonnay can range from very light-bodied and acidic to full-bodied, lush, and tropical depending on where it’s cultivated. When it comes to pairing this grape with food, one of the best guides is whether it’s oaked or not since this aroma and flavor shines through with spice, toast, and butter when present. Of course, it’s also a key grape in sparkling wine like Franciacorta and bubbles need a unique approach with food pairing.
Appetizers: Charcuterie, seafood starters, light cheese, olives and dips.
Entrées: Sushi, chicken salad, seafood salad, grilled fish, green pea risotto.
Dessert: Fruit platter.
Cheese: Brie, Goat’s Cheese, Parmesan.
Appetizers: Creamy soup, charcuterie, seafood starters.
Entrées: Lobster, crab, or scallops, grilled salmon, seafood risotto, creamy pasta, paella.
Dessert: Fruit platter, crème brulee.
Cheese: Brie, Gruyère, Emmental, Camembert.
A glass of dry Franciacorta is an ideal aperitif to warm up the palate. It’s also perfect served with tempura vegetable or fish nibbles since the acidity and bubbles complement the fat. A demi-sec Franciacorta pairs well with light creamy sweets like crème brulee so save it until last!

This set of Bioseparation Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Mode of Operation of Filtration”.
1. Filtration can be carried out in ____________
a) batch mode
b) continuous mode
c) batch and continuous mode
Explanation: The process of filtration requires two modes to function and they are batch as well as continuous mode. The batch mode is less preferred because it may lead to contamination and most used mode is continuous mode.
2. Which is the commonest mode for small scale cake filtration?
a) Batch mode
b) Continuous mode
c) Batch and continuous mode
Explanation: The batch mode is commonly used for small scale cake filtration because it requires less costing and work load. A single batch of filtration can be helpful for small scale processes related to filtration.
3. During batch filtration, the process is carried out at __________
a) constant pressure
b) constant rate
c) constant flow
d) constant rate or constant pressure
Explanation: In batch mode of filtration, a particular batch of feed is pumped in the filter and then the filtration is carried out in the unit either at constant pressure or at constant rate.
4. When the rate of filtration becomes low, the process of filtration is __________
a) speeds up
c) no change
d) slows down
Explanation: When the filtration rate goes low during the batch mode of filtration, the process of filtration gets terminated because the process needs to have a proper rate which will help in the separation, now since the rate is acceptably low there is no point to have the process of filtration.
5. The process of filtration gets terminated when the pressure _________
a) too low
b) no change
d) too high
Explanation: During high pressure in the process of filtration, the process terminates as it needs specific pressure to sustain. The increase in pressure leads to unwanted stoppage in the filtration and hence the filtration stops.
6. What happens to the cake after the process of filtration terminates?
a) Left as it is
c) Retreated to filtration
Explanation: Once the process of filtration terminates, the cake is removed. The removal is done using the device which scrapes it off from the filter medium and mostly this process of removal of cake requires dismantling of the filtration unit.
7. What is the fate of the filtration unit after every batch of filtration performed?
c) Cleaned and then reused
d) Not used
Explanation: After the process of filtration in a batch is terminated and the cake is removed, the filter medium is cleaned and is made ready for the next batch to filter the substances.
8. A batch process is not suitable for _________
a) small scale cake filtration
b) medium scale cake filtration
c) every cake filtration
d) large scale cake filtration
Explanation: A batch process is not suitable for large-scale cake filtration and in the place of batch filtration, continuous filtrations can be used as it allows simultaneous cake accumulation and removal.
9. Large scale cake filtration requires _________
a) funnel filter
b) rotary drum filter
c) horizontal and drum filter
d) filter press
Explanation: The funnel filter and filter press are used for batch filtration process. Rotary drum is not only the device used for continuous filtration, both horizontal continuous filter and rotary drum filters are used for the process of continuous filtration in the large scale cake filtration.
10. During the process of filtration, when the process is performed in order to modify the slurry into thick component, the cake build up in the filter medium is __________
Explanation: During the process of filtration, when the process is performed in order to modify the slurry into thick component, the cake build up in the filter medium is avoided. The process of slurry thickening is performed by controlling the thickness of the cake layer and hence by keeping the particulate matter in a suspended form on the side of feed.

No fewer than 40 informal miners in Zimbabwe have been trapped underground after a shaft collapsed in an abandoned gold mine.
The incident was confirmed by the country’s miners’ Federation.
According to them, the incident occurred on Wednesday in Bindura town, around 70 kilometres north of the capital Harare.
The Head of the Zimbabwe Miners Federation, Wellington Takavarasha, explained that before the shaft caved in and the mine collapsing, the miners were working inside the abandoned Ran Gold Mine.
Continuing, he said that six miners have since been pulled out from the rubble and taken to hospital.
“The rescued miners revealed that there were about 40 people in the mine shaft as at the time the incident occured, rescue operations are still ongoing”, Takavarasha added.
Mining in Zimbabwe is a primary source of foreign currency for, as gold alone accounts for 60 per cent of exports.
Zimbabwe is home to various gold and mineral reserves, including diamonds and platinum.

Learn about our fact checking process Share Twitter Pinterest Email Paul Souders / Getty Images Environment Weather Outdoors Conservation The tallest mountain in the U.S. is Denali, located near the center of the Alaska Range. In fact, most of the United States’ tallest mountains are located in Alaska and are appropriately characterized by icy summits and glacial surroundings. That’s not to say that other mountain ranges in the U.S. don’t have some worthy peaks. Though maybe not as impressive as Denali’s 20,310 feet, the highest mountain in the lower 48 states, Mount Whitney in California, stands at 14,494 feet. Here are the 12 tallest mountains in the country, what makes each one unique, and some of the valuable natural resources they hold. 1 of 12 Denali (Alaska) Enn Li Photography / Getty Images Denali—no longer called by its colonial name, Mount McKinley—means "the tall one" in native Alaskan language. While it's widely accepted as the U.S.'s highest peak, its exact measurement has been debated since the late 1800s. To set the record straight, an advanced survey expedition team set out in 2015 with the latest GPS equipment and geoid models, determining its height as 20,310 feet. This has become the most widely accepted measurement today. Denali is located inside the Denali Biosphere Reserve and National Park in south-central Alaska, within the northern boreal forest biome known for housing at least 39 mammals, including grizzly bears, gray wolves, and moose. According to the National Parks mountaineering summaries, between 1,000 and 1,300 permits are issued to U.S. and international climbers every year. 2 of 12 Mount Saint Elias (Alaska) bruceman / Getty Images The second tallest mountain in the U.S. rises 18,008 feet on the Yukon, Canada, and Alaska border inside Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is the largest national park in the U.S., encompassing more than 13 million acres—the same size as Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, and the country of Switzerland combined. This park houses numerous plants and animals, but also the fossilized remains of many organisms. Mount Saint Elias' Tlingit name is Yahtse-tah-shah. The first ascent of it was completed in 1897 by a team led by the Duke of Abruzzi. These days, the mountain is mostly used for skiing, as it has one of the longest ski runs in the world. 3 of 12 Mount Foraker (Alaska) Daniel H. Bailey / Getty Images Located in the central Alaska Range, the 17,400-foot Mount Foraker is the third-highest peak in the U.S. Its native names are Sultana, meaning "the woman," and Menlale, meaning "Denali's wife." In 1899, a U.S. lieutenant dubbed it Mount Foraker after fellow U.S. lieutenant and then-Ohio senator Joseph B Foraker. It was first climbed in August of 1934 by Charles Houston, T. Graham Brown, and Chychele Waterston. Today, the peak sees far fewer climbers than its neighbor, Denali. Because the pass to climb both is included within one permit, most mountaineers opt for the more famous of the two. Mount Foraker is also protected by Denali National Park and Preserve, where it provides important habitat for the region’s wildlife and plants. 4 of 12 Mount Bona (Alaska) Jide / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0 Mount Bona in eastern Alaska stretches 16,421 feet and is part of the Saint Elias Mountains. The stratovolcano is believed to have had its last volcanic eruption in 847 A.D. and is now home to a vast expanse of glaciers and ice fields. In fact, the state’s oldest glacier ever recorded was recovered from a basin between Mount Bona and Mount Churchill, dated to be about 30,000 years old. The mountain provides an important source of ice for both the Klutlan Glacier, which flows into Canada’s Yukon Territory, and the nearby Russell Glacier system. Since it is almost completely covered in ice, climbers on Mount Bona are rare. 5 of 12 Mount Blackburn (Alaska) Chiyacat / Getty Images Also located within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park in Alaska is Mount Blackburn, standing at 16,390 feet. That makes it the fifth-highest peak in the U.S. and the highest peak in Alaska’s Wrangell Mountains. In 1912, George Handy and Dora Keen summited its eastern side, completing the historic climb without guides. The eastern peak of the mountain didn’t see another climber until almost 70 years later, when Gerry Roach made a second ascent in 1977. Since the mountain is so close to the Gulf of Alaska, it experiences some of the worst weather in North America; a combination of frequent storms, inaccessibility, and its remote location has resulted in less than 50 summit attempts over the last 30 years. 6 of 12 Mount Sanford (Alaska) Alan Majchrowicz / Getty Images Apart from being the sixth highest mountain in the U.S., the Mount Sanford shield volcano is also one of the country’s highest Quaternary volcanoes. Its last known eruption was during the Pleistocene period, which lasted from 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. Mount Sanford's elevation is 16,237 feet. It's little studied and rarely climbed because its summit is completely covered in ice. Several large-magnitude eruptions over the past 2,000 years covered the area with volcanic ash, famously known as the White River Ash. 7 of 12 Mount Fairweather (Alaska) mscornelius / Getty Images Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve's 15,325-foot Mount Fairweather was named by British navigator Captain Cook in 1778 for the good weather encountered at the time of his visit. Before Cook's arrival, it went by the Tlingit name Tanaku. The first successful ascent of Mount Fairweather occurred in 1931. It wasn’t summited again until 27 years later. Since that second climb, there have been only 43 successful summits, the last of which happened in 2011. Thanks to its location just above Glacier Bay, Mount Fairweather can be seen from hundreds of miles away on clear days. More often, though, it's obscured by cloud cover and notoriously stormy weather on the mountain (contrary to its name). 8 of 12 Mount Hubbard (Alaska) Luís Henrique Boucault / Getty Images Mount Hubbard straddles the Alaska-Yukon border. The Canadian side is located within Kluane National Park and Reserve and the U.S. side within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park. In 1890, geologist Israel Russell named the 14,950-foot mountain after Gardiner Greene Hubbard, the first president of the National Geographic Society, because National Geographic had co-sponsored Russell’s expeditions. The mountain is separated from Mount Vancouver by Hubbard Glacier, the largest tidewater glacier in North America at 76 miles long, seven miles wide, and 600 feet tall. 9 of 12 Mount Bear (Alaska) U.S. Geological Survey / Getty Images Mount Bear is located just four miles west of the Alaska-Canada border. It’s at least 14,831 feet in elevation, and its icy plateaus contribute to both the Barnard Glacier and the Klutlan Glacier complexes. Its remoteness and proximity to more well-known peaks like Mount Logan and Mount Lucania together deter many potential summiteers. It is protected by the preserve and Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park. A drop from the summit of Mount Bear to the Barnard Glacier is a whopping 10,000 feet down over 12 miles. 10 of 12 Mount Hunter (Alaska) Mark Newman / Getty Images Mount Hunter is often considered the steepest and most technical of the three main peaks in Denali National Park and Preserve. It rises 14,573 feet, about 7,000 feet above Alaska’s Kahiltna Glacier. With such a rugged reputation, very few people have attempted to climb Mount Hunter since it was first summited by by Fred Beckey and Henry Mehbohm in 1954. The accomplishment is still considered one of the boldest climbs ever completed in the Alaska Range, especially since both mountaineers had been part of the first Northwest Buttress expedition of Denali earlier that same year. 11 of 12 Mount Whitney (California) Sierralara / Getty Images Known for being the tallest mountain in the contiguous 48 states, Mount Whitney—Shoshone name Tumanguya—is in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains on the border of Sequoia National Park and the famous John Muir Trail. Accessing the 14,494-foot summit is only possible for climbers through a special permit, and the U.S. Forest Service only reserves permits by lottery or six months in advance. Because its summit is above the tree line and requires climbing more than 6,000 feet in 11 miles, Mount Whitney has an alpine climate and ecology with very few plants and animals, although some examples include the low-growing sky pilot cushion plant and transient butterflies. 12 of 12 Mount Alverstone (Alaska) Gary Clark / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0 Also located within the Saint Elias Mountains on the border of Alaska and Yukon, 14,500-foot Mount Alverstone (or Boundary Peak) shares a large massif with Mount Hubbard to the south and Mount Kennedy to the east. The mountain was named after Chief Justice of England Lord Richard Everard Webster Alverstone, known for casting the swing vote that decided the Alaska boundary dispute of 1903. It was climbed for the first time in 1951 by a team led by Walter Wood, who also ascended Mount Hubbard during the same expedition. Mount Foresta, a smaller mountain near Mount Alverstone, is named for Wood’s daughter who tragically died in a plane crash while he was summiting the mountain.

Airbus has begun in-flight tests on connected cabin technology in their A350-900 class aircrafts. If successful, the company is planning to reveal this new technology and then roll it out in all their aircrafts.
If it manages to nail this technology, Airbus will be the only company to have connected cabin innovation. The new platform, also referred to as Airspace Connected Experience, was launched during the APEX Expo in 2018.
Airbus is planning to usher in a personalised customer experience for its passengers and create an opportunity for it to improve its operational efficiency and revenue.
Its flight lab is among the first few certification in flight test planes. It is fitted with a cabin that currently functions as lab for evaluation of the new technology.
To that end, and in collaboration with its cabin partners, Airbus has installed the first few functional elements. They include the prototypes iSeat, a gategroup, wireless management system, an OLED display unit and, most importantly, an IoT backbone that runs on open platform. This entire tech is currently under trial together with a few other that Airbus plans to reveal later.
This upgrade in Airbus’ technology is geared towards value addition and to provide customers, crews and airlines with a unique experience. Now, passenger will have the opportunity personalize their travel experience. For instance, you now be able to order a specific meal, book a private space, set you sit to your preferred position with the help of IoT.
Airlines that operate these aircrafts will be able to boost their revenues through a personalized advertisement, retail and new customer services. The new platform will also benefit crewmembers. They will have better working conditions and resourceful tools with real time data streams via the IoT system in the cabin.
The tests are part of the company’s customer centred strategy, which started with a number of workshops meant to prioritise and generate innovative tools and systems. This phase was followed by an extensive period of testing and evaluation of the connected system.
Subsequent tests on this system in Airbus’ in-flight lab will is meant to ensure that this technology is integrated into their aircrafts successfully. The testing phase will allow airbus to monitor the various function of the new technology in flight under a normal operating environment. Airbus’ focus is to monitor point-to-point data exchange within this system.

How do you thicken satay sauce?
If the sauce is too thick for your taste, dilute it with a little water to make it more manageable. If the sauce is too thin, a small amount of peanut butter can be added to thicken it.
How do you stop satay sauce from splitting?
The oil may separate from the sauce somewhat (this might occur due to the oil in the coconut milk and the peanut butter, but it is simple to cure! ), so add a few drops of water at a time and whisk until the sauce is smooth again.
Is satay sauce the same as peanut sauce?
Even while peanut sauce is most generally associated with Thai food, it was really developed in Indonesia (source). Despite the fact that it’s popularly known as peanut sauce in the United States, it’s known as satay sauce (or bumbu kacang) in Indonesia, where it’s most frequently served with the popular Indonesian meal satay (skewered, grilled meats).

What does the flavor of Kung Pao Sauce look like? Kung Pao sauce has a distinctive flavor that is sweet, sour, savory, and peppery, with a tinge of heat from Sichuan pepper that distinguishes it from the competition.

Freeze. This recipe creates a lot of satay sauce, so it’s best to make it in bulk and store it in tiny bags. Label the containers and place them in the freezer flat.
How long does homemade peanut sauce last in the refrigerator?
Peanut sauce may be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. You should remove the sauce from its container approximately 30 minutes before serving, since peanut butter may be obstinate about bringing the sauce to room temperature on its own.
How long does opened peanut sauce last in fridge?
As stated by the National Peanut Board, unsealed jars of commercially processed peanut butter kept in this manner will keep for two to three months at room temperature. It is then recommended to store the containers in the refrigerator, which will increase their shelf life by an additional three to four months.
Does simmering thicken sauce?
Bring your sauce up to a simmer in a small saucepan. Generally speaking, this approach works well with most sauces because, as the sauce heats up, the water will evaporate, leaving behind a thicker and more concentrated sauce.
How do you soften satay sauce?
When preparing sauces using ingredients such as peanut butter, almond butter, tahini, and other nut butters, oil is the ingredient to use to help thin them down. If you want to make peanut butter, you might use peanut oil, canola oil, toasted sesame oil, or a light olive oil with a more neutral flavor instead of peanut butter (or perhaps others).
How do you thicken marinara sauce?

Why does my satay sauce separate?
There is just one answer. You must 1) raise the emulsification and 2) lessen the amount of time the sauce is really hot before serving. If you want to boost the emulsification of the sauce, you might try adding some honey or mustard. Another option is to use a stick blender to break it up, which will do a lot better job than breaking it up by hand.
How do you thicken peanut sauce?
Pour 1 spoonful of boiling water at a time into the sauce if it is too thick. Continue until the required consistency is obtained.
Why does peanut sauce break?
Don’t be alarmed if there is a lot of sauce; it will keep for up to 3 weeks if kept properly refrigerated. Finally, using too much heat during the cooking process can cause the sauce to separate from the rest of the ingredients, resulting in a ruined dish. If this occurs, do not become alarmed.
