Kissel, Professor and Director, Agricultural and Environmental Services Laboratories The largest operating cost in a livestock production enterprise is the feed bill. To keep this cost low, one must supply the right amount of feed to the animals. Overfeeding is wasteful. Underfeeding will decrease animal performance and profitability. Therefore, proper animal feeding and nutrition are crucial to the profitability of the livestock enterprise. Laboratory analyses of the composition of feed or forage are used to assess their nutritive value (Figure 1). A typical feed analysis includes measurements of some important quality attributes or parameters (e.g., crude protein, fiber, digestibility, etc.) used to define nutritive value. Other parameters are analyzed under some special circumstances. For example, acid detergent insoluble crude protein (ADICP) is usually only measured if heat damage to the feed is suspected. Figure 1. A schematic that describes the partitioning of organic and mineral components in a feed and forage sample. Many of the parameters included in laboratory reports are calculated or estimated from measured feed quality attributes. For example, digestible energy, total digestible nutrients and intake potential are all estimated from the concentration of the various fiber components and the relationship between them. The University of Georgia’s Feed and Environmental Water Laboratory (FEWL) is located in Athens and dedicated to providing objective analyses of feeds and forages. This is in line with UGA’s mission as a land-grant university to provide unbiased interpretations, recommendations and pertinent educational materials to enhance the profitability and sustainability of livestock production systems in the state. The purpose of this publication is to serve as an educational reference and resource to those who are interested in animal feeding and nutrition. Our primary objective is to list the common terms used when discussing animal feeding so that one might be better informed when consulting with county Extension personnel, feed salesmen, animal nutritionists, veterinarians, feed laboratory managers and other industry professionals. This listing will also be helpful when reading articles on animal feeding and nutrition, feed analysis reports or tags associated with feeds sold in the market. Browse by letter: A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) The fibrous component represents the least digestible fiber portion of forage or other roughage. This highly indigestible part of forage includes lignin, cellulose, silica and insoluble forms of nitrogen but not hemicellulose. Forages with higher ADF are lower in digestible energy than forages with lower ADF, which means that as the ADF level increases, digestible energy levels decrease. During laboratory analysis, ADF is the residue remaining after boiling a forage sample in acid detergent solution. ADF is often used to calculate digestibility, total digestible nutrients (TDN) and/or net energy for lactation (NEl). Acid Detergent Insoluble Crude Protein (ADICP) or Acid Detergent Fiber-Crude Protein (ADFCP) ADICP (or ADFCP) is the insoluble protein fraction remaining in the acid detergent fiber residue of a feed sample. ADICP escapes ruminal breakdown and represents the portion of the protein that is not degradable and is therefore unavailable to the animal. It also contains any heat-damaged protein that may result from heating during storage or processing. In this case, a portion of the protein reacts with carbohydrates (fiber) to form an indigestible com


What term refers to a style of fatalistic or menacing cinema, coined first by French critics in describing US thrillers of the 1940s?

The 100 Best Film Noirs of All Time :: Movies :: Lists :: Page 1 :: Paste The 100 Best Film Noirs of All Time Share Tweet Submit Pin Since its coining in 1946 by French critic Nino Frank, who observed from afar something dark, quite literally, going on at the American cinema, the term “film noir” has been debated and debated and debated some more. Is it a genre? A subgenre? A movement? A trend? A commentary? A style? For the purposes of this introduction, let’s call it a response. Noir was nothing if not a reaction, a reflection of a nation reeling from despicable evil overseas and revolutionary upheaval on the domestic front. It started matter-of-factly enough. The men—including the screenwriters—had gone off to fight, and as the women stepped up, into the public sector and newfound independence, studio chiefs turned to the fast-and-cheap pulp mysteries of Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain for their next productions. International directors like Fritz Lang, Michael Curtiz, and Robert Siodmak, who’d honed the dramatic visuals of German Expressionism, fled their war-torn homes for the plentiful opportunities in Tinseltown. But things get complicated here, and fast. See, noir didn’t play by any rules, not really. We think of noirs as urban stories, but that’s not always the case—for every L.A. and N.Y.C.-set saga, there’s a small, heartland tragedy. We think of a never-ending, rain-soaked night—sunlight replaced with neon and nocturnal reflections, the optical trickery of mirrors and shadows—but in contrast, the days of noir scorched its characters. We admire its heavily stylized approach—exaggerated camera angles, tension-crafting mise-en-scène, flashbacks, deep focus and trademark shadows—but also its neo-realist and documentary-like experiments. We talk about noir plotting and tropes, but in fact it drew liberally from the gangster pics of the Depression/Prohibition era, crime procedurals, heist movies, horror films (again, the German Expressionist influence), romantic melodrama, Gothic thrillers, tawdry B-movies, and that other quintessentially American breed, the Western. Though its blueprints were everywhere, noir forged its own language, its own playbook, its own universe. Some define noir as or by a tone, and it’s very much a mood, a sensibility. Noir is a state of mind, of subconscious, a fever dream, an existential crisis. Life had grown profoundly strange for its first-generation audience … off-balance, alienating, lonely. Think about it: As the classic period of noir, generally regarded as 1940-58, wore on, more jaded and pessimistic, shell-shocked soldiers were returning to a forever changed urban and suburban landscape. Homes they didn’t recognize, communities that had gone on in their absence, workplaces that no longer needed them, and wives who weren’t dependent on them anymore. The roles were reversed, the world was upside down. Things didn’t make sense. All that paranoia and pathos, before the second Red Scare. Enter the private detective and his antihero ilk—a scarred, brooding fella who for his considerable flaws was sympathetic. You couldn’t say the same for the ladies, what with that Madonna-whore complex running rampant through noir’s icky Freudian gender dynamics. Unless they were a good, subservient girl, women were brazen, sexual bitches, more often than not smarter, and more powerful, than the guys—at least at the outset. Extrapolated to the off-screen world, the logic was, solve the crime, solve the problem. Put the femme fatale in her place, show the girl—the world—who’s boss. Take it all back. The nightmare was made wish-fulfillment. It’s not overreaching to read all of this from the 300 or so titles generally considered the classic noir canon. Remember: The folks at the Hollywood Production Code couldn’t handle it either, mandating changes in service of propriety, i.e., social conformity. (Had Will Hays, Joseph Breen, and their censoring kind not been around, noir would’ve been an even more nihilistic realm.) In any case, the M.O. was linear: Talk it out, trace the clues,

Posset is a late-medieval curdled drink of alchocol and which other liquid?

Possets | British Food: A History British Food: A History Possets I expected this post to be a simple recipe with a short history of the creamy dessert. However, as is so often in writing posts for this blog, it ends up being rather more complicated. When I think of a posset, I think of a simple affair of sweetened cream thickened with an acidic fruit. However, this is very much a modern posset (by modern I mean twentieth century). King Charles I Originally the posset was a dessert or drink made from curdled milk enriched with sugar, alcohol (the most popular being sack, a sweet ale similar to sherry). It was often used as a curative for colds or fevers; it is mentioned in the Journals of the House of Lords in the year 1620 that King Charles I was given a posset drink from his physician. These drinks were kept warm and made in a special cup rather like a teapot so that the liquid could be drunk from beneath the foam that develops on the surface. Shakespeare mentions possets several times in his writings, in Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 5, he mentions the posset’s medicinal properties and that it is made from curds: And with sudden vigour it doth posset, And curd, like aigre [sour] droppings into milk, The thin and wholesome blood. Possets were eaten for pleasure too though: Yet be cheerful knight: thou shalt eat a posset to-night at my house; Where I will desire thee to laugh at my wife. The Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 5, Scene 5 William Shakespeare Kings and lords had their cream and curd possets, whereas we normal folk had to use bread to thicken ours.By the time we reach the mid-18th century, possets have changed; they are made from milk, but now are thickened with biscuits, bread, egg yolks or almonds, or a combination. Sack seems to still be the most popular and lemon possets make an appearance. Sack possets were drunk at weddings when it came to toasting the bride and groom around this time, though I don’t know where this originated from. Possets 1769 Grate two Naples biscuits into a pint of thin cream, put in a stick of cinnamon and set it over a slow fire. Boil it till it is of a proper thickness, then add half a pint of sack, a slice of the end of a lemon, with sugar to your taste. Stir it gently over the fire, but don’t let it boil lest it curdle. Serve it up with dry toast. Elizabeth Raffald, The Experienced English Housekeeper 1769  Mrs Raffald also highlights the fact that you don’t want your posset to curdle: ‘always mix a little of the hot cream or milk with your wine, it will keep the wine from curdling the rest’. In the 19th century, Richard Cox in his Oxford Night Caps (1835) mentions those made from curds and those thickened with cream and egg yolks, so technically a custard, I suppose. Sometimes they were thick, and sometimes drinkable like egg nog. He mentions a black pepper flavoured posset that will ‘promote perspiration’ in order to sweat out a fever. Here’s a strange thing though; if you rewind time back to Shakespearean days and look for a recipe for a trifle, what you seem to get is a recipe for a modern-day posset: Take a pint of thick cream, and season it with sugar and ginger, and rose water. So stir it as you would then have it make it luke warm in a dish on a chafing dish and coals. And after put it into a silver piece or a bowl, and so serve it to the board. Thomas Dawson, The Good Housewife’s Jewel 1596 You can see why a matter of no concern is called a mere trifle – they used to be so simple, but now they are complex and as the trifle changed over time so did the posset and it seems to have filled the niche left behind by the trifle. Possets, however, are no longer that popular. They are easy to make when cream is the sole thickener. Orange Posset 2012 Here’s the recipe I devised for an orange posset, which I think works very well. You can make a lemon one from two lemons and perhaps an ounce or two more of sugar. I have kept to its historical roots with the addition of a little orange flower water. This makes six helpings. Ingredients 1 pint (20 fl oz) of double (heavy) cream 4 oz caster sugar

A sepulchre is a (what?), usually made/carved from stone?

sepulchre - Dictionary Definition : Vocabulary.com Random Word sepulchre There are many possible resting places for your body once you die, and a sepulcher is the best option if you want a fancy room made entirely from stone. Think it over, because you can only choose once. Crypts, mausoleums, sarcophagi, sepulchers: each one is a place to bury someone, with slight variations. A sepulcher (or if you’re British you’ll spell it sepulchre) is basically a stone room with a stone coffin where your body lies. The word comes from the Latin sepulcrum, which means “burial place,” for obvious reasons. Pronouncing sepulcher could trick you, because the ch actually sounds like a k: "SEP-ul-ker."


"Hilary Mantel's controversial 2014 fictional story is ""The Assassination of (Which controversial leader?)"" ?"

'The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher': Hilary Mantel draws controversy for new short story - CSMonitor.com 'The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher': Hilary Mantel draws controversy for new short story Latest News 'The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher' is by Hilary Mantel. View Caption View Caption of Less than six months after the death of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, award-winning English writer Hilary Mantel has provoked an uproar by writing a controversial short story in which she imagines Thatcher’s assassination. In “ The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher: August 6th  1983 ,” published online by the UK’s Guardian Friday, Mantel imagines an IRA hit man and an ordinary woman conspiring to kill the prime minister from a window overlooking a street Thatcher frequents. “It's a horror story for Thatcher's fans, a wish-fulfillment fantasy for her detractors,” writes the Guardian . “Either way, it's shocking.” Photos of the Day Photos of the weekend Mantel dreamed up the macabre tale  after spying Thatcher from her own bedroom window more than 30 years ago. Around noon on Saturday August 6, 1983, Mantel remembers seeing the former prime minister from her bedroom window overlooking a quiet street and private hospital where Thatcher was having eye surgery. Mantel said she saw the late leader of the UK just “toddling” around the hospital gardens unguarded when she was struck with the thought.  "Immediately your eye measures the distance," Mantel told the Guardian , her finger and thumb forming a gun. "I thought, if I wasn't me, if I was someone else, she'd be dead."  With that, the author freely admits her abhorrence for the late prime minister. "When I think of her, I can still feel that boiling detestation. She did long-standing damage in many areas of national life.” Not surprisingly, the story has stirred passions in the UK, where Thatcher is as intensely loved by some as she is detested by others. The Daily Telegraph, which reportedly paid a substantial sum to secure exclusive rights to the piece, has now refused to publish it. “If somebody admits they want to assassinate somebody, surely the police should investigate,” Lord Timothy Bell, a friend and former PR adviser to Thatcher, told the Sunday Times. “This is in unquestionably bad taste.” Mail columnist Stephen Glover described the story as “dangerous nonsense.” “What I object to is not Hilary Mantel’s detestation of Thatcher, warped though I believe it to be. It is the suggestion that she could, and should, have been bumped off as though she were some deranged South American dictator… “Mantel’s contribution is peculiarly damaging because, while she appears so mild-mannered, her message is interpretable as a deadly one. If you don’t like your democratically elected leaders, who operate within the rule of law, you can always think about assassinating them.” Critics have also lashed out at Mantel for publishing the story less than six months after the late leader’s death. Conservative MP Nadine Dorries told the Daily Mail, “It is shocking as it is so close [to Margaret Thatcher’s death] and she still has living family and children. It is about a character whose demise is so recent,” she said. Mantel has responded to the criticism, including the timing of the piece.  "I am concerned with respect. I'm not concerned with taste,” she said. “I would have happily concluded the story in her lifetime but couldn't – it was my technical difficulty, not any delicacy. I believe in walking that line. You mustn't be too timid to risk getting it wrong." She told the Guardian that her story was an examination of why Thatcher “aroused such visceral passion in so many people.” “Whatever your view of her, she was a shaper of history,” she said, later adding, “I think it would be unconscionable to say, this is too dark, we can’t examine it. We can’t be running away from history. We have to face it head on, because the repercussions of Mrs. Thatcher’s reign have fed the nation. It is still resonating.” “She is a marvelous person to put into fiction because of the contra

In the binary system of numbers the binary number 10 equates to which conventional number?

A tutorial on binary numbers Consider the addition of decimal numbers: 23   +48   ___ We begin by adding 3+8=11. Since 11 is greater than 10, a one is put into the 10's column (carried), and a 1 is recorded in the one's column of the sum. Next, add {(2+4) +1} (the one is from the carry)=7, which is put in the 10's column of the sum. Thus, the answer is 71. Binary addition works on the same principle, but the numerals are different. Begin with one-bit binary addition: 0  0  1  +0  +1  +0  ___ ___ ___    0  1  1 1+1 carries us into the next column. In decimal form, 1+1=2. In binary, any digit higher than 1 puts us a column to the left (as would 10 in decimal notation). The decimal number "2" is written in binary notation as "10" (1*2^1)+(0*2^0). Record the 0 in the ones column, and carry the 1 to the twos column to get an answer of "10." In our vertical notation, 1  +1  ___  10 The process is the same for multiple-bit binary numbers: 1010     +1111    ______ Decimal to Binary Converting from decimal to binary notation is slightly more difficult conceptually, but can easily be done once you know how through the use of algorithms. Begin by thinking of a few examples. We can easily see that the number 3= 2+1. and that this is equivalent to (1*2^1)+(1*2^0). This translates into putting a "1" in the 2^1 column and a "1" in the 2^0 column, to get "11". Almost as intuitive is the number 5: it is obviously 4+1, which is the same as saying [(2*2) +1], or 2^2+1. This can also be written as [(1*2^2)+(1*2^0)]. Looking at this in columns, 2^2 | 2^1 | 2^0     1   0   1 or 101. What we're doing here is finding the largest power of two within the number (2^2=4 is the largest power of 2 in 5), subtracting that from the number (5-4=1), and finding the largest power of 2 in the remainder (2^0=1 is the largest power of 2 in 1). Then we just put this into columns.  This process continues until we have a remainder of 0. Let's take a look at how it works. We know that: 2^0=1  2^1=2  2^2=4  2^3=8  2^4=16  2^5=32  2^6=64  2^7=128 and so on. To convert the decimal number 75 to binary, we would find the largest power of 2 less than 75, which is 64. Thus, we would put a 1 in the 2^6 column, and subtract 64 from 75, giving us 11. The largest power of 2 in 11 is 8, or 2^3. Put 1 in the 2^3 column, and 0 in 2^4 and 2^5. Subtract 8 from 11 to get 3. Put 1 in the 2^1 column, 0 in 2^2, and subtract 2 from 3. We're left with 1, which goes in 2^0, and we subtract one to get zero. Thus, our number is 1001011. Making this algorithm a bit more formal gives us: Let D=number we wish to convert from decimal to binary Repeat until D=0 a. Find the largest power of two in D. Let this equal P. b. Put a 1 in binary column P. c. Subtract P from D. Put zeros in all columns which don't have ones. This algorithm is a bit awkward. Particularly step 3, "filling in the zeros." Therefore, we should rewrite it such that we ascertain the value of each column individually, putting in 0's and 1's as we go: Let D= the number we wish to convert from decimal to binary Find P, such that 2^P is the largest power of two smaller than D. Repeat until P<0 put 0 into column P End if Subtract 1 from P Now that we have an algorithm, we can use it to convert numbers from decimal to binary relatively painlessly. Let's try the number D=55. Our first step is to find P. We know that 2^4=16, 2^5=32, and 2^6=64. Therefore, P=5. 2^5<=55, so we put a 1 in the 2^5 column: 1-----. Subtracting 55-32 leaves us with 23. Subtracting 1 from P gives us 4. Following step 3 again, 2^4<=23, so we put a 1 in the 2^4 column: 11----. Next, subtract 16 from 23, to get 7. Subtract 1 from P gives us 3. 2^3>7, so we put a 0 in the 2^3 column: 110--- Next, subtract 1 from P, which gives us 2. 2^2<=7, so we put a 1 in the 2^2 column: 1101-- Subtract 4 from 7 to get 3. Subtract 1 from P to get 1. 2^1<=3, so we put a 1 in the 2^1 column: 11011- Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1. Subtract 1 from P to get 0. 2^0<=1, so we put a 1 in the 2


The Hawaiian Islands are closest longitudinally to whose territory?

Hawaii: The Most Isolated Archipelago? | Dennis Hollier Hawaii: The Most Isolated Archipelago? Johnston Atoll It’s one of those things we say: “The Hawaiian Islands are the most remote landmass on earth.” The truth, as usual, is more complicated than that. First, let’s deal with the simplest facts. The Hawaiian Islands, by virtue of being an archipelago, many parts of which are actually within eyesight of one another, simply cannot include the most remote landmass on earth. That title, it turns out, belongs to Bouvet Island, a tiny spit of rock in the South Atlantic that, curiously enough, belongs to Norway and is 994 miles from its nearest neighbor, Queen Maud Land Antarctica. Of course, no one lives in Queen Maud Land. Bouvet’s nearest inhabited neighbor, the island of Tristan da Cunha, is 1,404 miles away. Hawaii isn’t even the most remote archipelago. That distinction belongs to the same Tristan da Cunha, which is 1,740 miles from South Africa, and is part of the British Overseas Territory of Saint Helena, Ascencion and Tristan da Cunha. (Napoleon died in exile in Saint Helena, proving this South Atlantic island to be much more remote than Mediterranean Elba.) Tristan da Cunha is also the most remote inhabited island in the world. Most of this remoteness data comes from a fascinating (but is it accurate?) Wikipedia entry called “Extreme points of Earth”. In this article, you’ll also learn that the South Pacific Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility–the point in the ocean farthest from any landmass, also known as Point Nemo, in deference to Jules Verne–lies 1,670 miles from Dulcie Island, which is part of the Pitcairn Islands. Pitcairn, because of the story of the Mutiny on the Bounty, has become a kind of metonym for remoteness at sea, much like Timbuktu has come to represent remoteness on land. (Dulcie was briefly occupied by the starving  survivors of the Essex, a whaleship whose sinking by a sperm whale in 1820 served as the inspiration for Melville’s Moby Dick.) That’s not to say Hawaii’s not remote, of course. Honolulu, for example, is the most remote city in the world of at least 500,000 people. San Francisco, the next city of comparable size, is 2,387 miles away. And, although Easter Island, 2,180 miles off the coast of Chile, is usually considered the island farthest from a continental land mass, Midway, in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands lies 2,500 miles from Tokyo and 3,200 miles from San Francisco. Anyway you look at it, that’s remote. But the most compelling measure of the remoteness of Hawaii isn’t in miles, but it genes. Hawaii’s isolation has made it the world capital of endemism. For its size, Hawaii has the highest percentage of species that exist nowhere else on Earth. (Sadly, this also makes it the extinction capital of the world; if a species disappears here, it has probably disappeared everywhere.) This high level of endemism is fueled, of course, by the Islands’ remoteness. Few species were able to survive the long float or flight to get here (let alone get here as a mating pair for non-cloning species.) This permitted the rapid speciation that accounts for the wild variation in Hawaiian honeycreepers. But it also limits the number of potential immigrant species. The genetic remoteness of Hawaii is highlighted in an astonishing paper in Global Ecology and Biogeography . In this paper, Sara Wood, of the University of Bristol, and her colleagues use computer modeling techniques to predict the “global connectivity” of coral species. Basically, they try to account for the likely routes of the colonization of coral reefs around the world. To do this, their model takes into account biological factors, such as the “competency” of coral larvae (coral larvae are only viable for a short window of time,) biogeographic factors (ocean currents and distances limit the potential successful dispersal of coral larvae,) and time frames (coral spawn a limited, albeit enormous, number of times per year.) Woods computer model of coral distribution is a convenient stand-in for real world remoteness. By her measure, the regi


Native to Indonesia, what spice is a flower bud from a tall evergreen tree 'Syzygium aromaticum'?

Cloves - Guido's Fresh Marketplace Cloves Home / Blog , Spices /Cloves Cloves Cloves have been on the food and medicinal scene for thousands of years. A beloved flavoring agent and cure-all, Syzygium aromaticum is the dried flower bud of a large tropical evergreen tree. From the Latin word Clovus, meaning nail, this highly aromatic spice is pink when fresh and turns rust brown when dried.  It’s about ½” long, with tapered stems and four pointed flower bud ends, which give it the appearance of nails. Native to Indonesia, cloves were at one time more valuable than gold, and were traded and fought over as were many highly valuable spices.  Today, cloves are still grown in Indonesia’s Spice Islands, as well as in Sri Lanka, India and Northern Africa. They’re available year-round and are affordable for one and all. The list of medicinal properties belonging to cloves in long and varied:  antifungal, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral, anesthetic, deodorant, stimulant and even aphrodisiac!  Cloves have long been used in dentistry as a toothache and mouth ailment pain reliever, as a cure for cavities and as treatment for root canals.  While some of these applications have been replaced by technology, cloves are still an ingredient in mouthwash and toothpaste. As an antispasmodic, clove oil calms coughs, asthma and indigestion and as an antibacterial, it’s used to sweeten breath and to fight malaria and cholera.  Topically, clove oil may be diluted (it’s quite strong and may burn if used full-strength) and applied to cuts and abrasions to ward off infection.  Because they are highly and pleasantly aromatic, cloves are also used in cosmetics such as lotions, massage oil, soaps and perfumes. Cloves are sweetly pungent, astringent, warm and penetrating in flavor.  Because their taste is bold, it’s best to use a light hand to avoid overpowering dishes. Whole cloves retain their vigor much longer than ground cloves; it’s preferable either to grind them as needed or to purchase powdered in small quantities.  Cloves are very hard and need to be ground in an electric spice or coffee grinder, as opposed to using a mortar and pestle by hand.  Do not use grinders with plastic parts, as these may become clouded by the cloves’ oils.  As with most spices, store in a cool, dry location. Many world cuisines have a place in their histories for cloves. In general, cloves pair well with apples, beets, game, lamb, ham, pumpkin, sausage, tea, tomatoes, walnuts and wine.  No wonder their appeal is universal!  In China, India and the Middle East, cloves are most frequently found in meat dishes, and as an ingredient in spice mixtures, such as Chinese five spice powder, curry, garam masala or ras el hanout.  In Ethiopia, cloves are roasted in coffee or are part of the spice blend berbere.  In Mexico, they make an appearance in moles.  The French use cloves to flavor long-stewed meats, while in England they’re favored in making pickles.  In the United States and many European countries, cloves are used in sweets or sweet breads, such as gingerbread, cookies, applesauce, apple pies and cakes.  Cloves also make their way into barbeque and cocktail sauces, as well as mulling spice mixes for apple cider and wine.  Indonesia continues to be one of the world’s largest clove growing and consuming areas; however, they are most frequently the main flavoring agent in kretek, or clove cigarettes.  A great many men smoke kretek and hope the spice’s medicinal qualities protect them from harm; however, such is not the case.  Clove cigarettes deliver poor health consequences as much as their unflavored counterparts. When measuring cloves, 1 teaspoon of whole cloves will equal ¾ teaspoon ground.  If a need for substitution arises, allspice can be subbed for cloves in equal amounts. With their world-wide appeal, bracing aroma and warmly assertive flavor, cloves certainly live up to the clout of their namesake, the nail!


Shellshock, in Bash, was in 2014 described as the most dangerous (what?) since Heartbleed?

Shellshock: Bash bug 'bigger than Heartbleed' - Business - NZ Herald News Shellshock: Bash bug 'bigger than Heartbleed' 8:24 AM Friday Sep 26, 2014 SHARE: World Photo / Thinkstock A security flaw discovered in one of the most fundamental interfaces powering the internet has been described by researchers as 'bigger than Heartbleed', the computer bug that affected nearly every computer user earlier this year. The 'Bash bug', also known as Shellshock, is located in the command-line shell used in many Linux and Unix operating systems, leaving websites and devices powered by these operating systems open to attack. Like Heartbleed, Shellshock is a pervasive flaw that security researchers say will take years to fix properly. The responsibility to do so however rests with webmasters and systems administrators - rather than average users. Security firm Rapid7 has rated the bug as 10 out of 10 for its severity, but "low" for complexity - with hackers able to exploit it using just three lines of code. Read more: • Internet Explorer 'security hole' leaves a quarter of web browsers vulnerable However, unlike Heartbleed, Shellshock will not require users to rush from site to site changing their passwords but it does give hackers another method of attack that they could potentially use to take over computers or mobile devices. If Heartbleed's effect on users was akin to unlocking everyone's front door simultaneously, sending people scrambling back home to turn the key (ie change their passwords) then Shellshock is like giving thieves a new type of crowbar to break in to houses with - they're just as likely to use older methods, but it's still a blow for general security. Security researchers are especially worried about its potential - but as yet unknown - effect on Apple Mac computers, which uses the Bash software which the bug exploits directly in the form of its command-line program Terminal. Continued below. Hacker yells at baby via monitor Researchers think that Shellshock could be trouble for Mac users. Robert Graham, a security expert and CEO of Errata Security told The Independent: "It's really important that people who maintain websites make sure their computers are patched as quickly as they can. Hackers are already going to all websites and trying out this bug." Mr Graham added that as Shellshock affects "a common bit of code that is used all over the place" it will take a long time for experts to fix all affected systems. "Years from now we'll keep finding yet another device that's still not been patched," he said. The severity of Shellshock has been recognized by even the US government, with the US Department of Homeland Security releasing a warning about the bug and providing patches to fix affected servers. Despite this, security experts have said that the affect of Shellshock will be minimal. "Of the top 10 ways hackers will hack computers this year, this won't make the list," said Graham. The bug itself was first identified by a security team at Red Hat, an American company that provides open-source software and has sponsored initiatives including the Fedora Project and the software for the One Laptop per Child initiative. It's been estimated that the bug has been present for at least a decade and most likely longer. Writing about the flaw on his blog, security researcher Michal Zalewski commented that it wasn't unusual for Shellshock to have gone unnoticed for so long: "My take is that it's a very unusual bug in a very obscure feature of a program that researchers don't really look at, precisely because no reasonable person would expect it to fail this way. So, life goes on." Q&A: The Shellshock / Bash bug Q. What is Shellshock? A. Shellshock is a mistake in the code of a program called Bash, which is typically installed on non-Windows operating systems such as Mac, Unix and Linux. The bug allows hackers to send commands to a computer without having admin status, letting them plant malicious software within systems. Q. Could it be used to steal my financial details? A. Yes. If banks or online retailers use older, "mai

Physics NOVEL CHALLENGE ANSWERS - from Richard Walding This page has the answers to all the Novel Challenge questions in the text boxes in the margins. Text box page 2 NOVEL CHALLENGE Here are a few ï¿½Fermiï¿½ Questions (named after US physicist Enrico Fermi who used to drive his students nuts with them). (a) How fast does hair grow? Answer: 0.44 mm/day ( http://science.howstuffworks.com/question251.htm ). Hair growth is fastest from the age of sixteen to the late twenties. New hairs grow faster and the growth rate slows down with the increasing length (almost half the rate when the hair is over three feet long). http://www.stophairlossnow.co.uk/Hair%20Structure.htm (b) How many piano tuners in your capital city? Answer: 41 in the Brisbane Yellow Pages (www.yellowpages.com.au) (c) How many ping-pong balls can you fit in a suitcase? Answer: The new international standard size for a table tennis (ping pong) ball is 40mm diameter. The volume of a cub with a side of 40 mm is 64000 mm3. A typical large Chinese-made suitcase is 24ï¿½ x 17ï¿½ x 9ï¿½ (600 mm x 400 mm x 230 mm) with a volume of 5.52 x 107 mm3. Hence 862 balls will fit into this suitcase. (d) How fast does grass grow? Answer: Blue couch: Between 20-50mm every 7-14 days in Spring/Summer; Green couch: between 15-25mm every 7 days in Spring/Summer (http://www.centenarylandscaping.com/static/YourTurfChoice.htm) Text box page 2 NOVEL CHALLENGE The four compass directions North, East, South, West are derived from old foreign words. Can you match up the original meanings with the compass directions: A  Indoeuropean wes = sun goes down; B - Italian nerto = to the left as one faces the sun; C  German suntha = region in which the sun appears in the northern hemisphere; D  Indoeuropean aus = sun rises. ANSWER: A = west; B = north; C = south; D = east. Text box page 3 NOVEL CHALLENGE If you were transported in a time machine to an unknown date in Australian history, how could you work out the date? ANSWER: Several ways: (a) you could look at the fauna (eg dinosaurs) and relate this to their extinction history; (b) you could look at the position of the Sun with respect to the constellations. This would give you some idea but because the "precession" cycle repeats itself, youd have to know which billion years youre in beforehand; (c) if you knew the changes in sea level you could work out a rough time, but only if you knew which global warming cycle you were in; (d) you could check which version of Windows your school was using and add 10 years on to that. Any other suggestions? Check if any sausage rolls at the tuckshop had gold watches for long service? Text box page 4 NOVEL CHALLENGE You have two 100-page volumes of a dictionary on your shelf. A worm eats its way from Volume 1 page 1 through to Volume 2 page 100. How many pages does it eat through? ANSWER: None (or two at the most). Text box page 5 NOVEL CHALLENGE Consider the Earth to have a circumference of 40 000 km and a ribbon to be put tightly around it. If you cut the ribbon and inserted a 30 cm piece, how far will the ribbon be from the Earth if it was evenly spaced? ANSWER: 4.8 cm (the 40 000 km circumference makes no difference). Use C = 2p r and for a circumference of 30 cm, r works out to 4.8 cm. If you try it the long way you wont get a significant difference. Text box page 5 NOVEL CHALLENGE Quick now  is a physics lesson longer or shorter than a microcentury? ANSWER: Shorter (well, presuming your lesson is less than 52 minutes). Forty minutes is long enough.

Aristotle made the same claim in On the Generation of Animals in 350 BC. Is this possible? Propose points for and against this idea. ANSWER: No, you can see the stars. All you see is a brilliant white light. We asked a Cornish tin miner what he recalled seeing and he said "bright sunlight". So there! Textbox page 6 What time is it at the Sout


This historical region (1300s-1800s) of Bessarabia is in?

Bessarabia | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia For other uses, see Bessarabia (disambiguation) . Map of Bessarabia within Moldova and Ukraine Map of Bessarabia from Charles Upson Clark's book Basarabia (Romanian language: Basarabia Russian: Бессарабия Bessarabiya, Ukrainian language Бессарабія Bessarabiya) is a historical region in Eastern Europe , bounded by the Dniester River on the east and the Prut River on the west. Nowadays the bulk of the region is part of Moldova, while the northern and southern areas are part of Ukraine. In the aftermath of the Russo-Turkish War, 1806-1812 , and ensuing Peace of Bucharest , the eastern parts of the Principality of Moldavia , an Ottoman vassal, along with some areas formerly under direct Ottoman rule, were ceded to Imperial Russia . The newly acquired territories were organised as the Governorate of Bessarabia , adopting a name previously used for the southern plains of the Dniester-Prut interfluve. Following the Crimean War , in 1856, the southern areas of Bessarabia were returned to Moldavian rule; nevertheless, Russian rule was restored over the whole of the region in 1878, when Romania, which had emerged from Moldavia's union with Wallachia , was pressured into exchanging those territories for Dobruja. In 1917, in the wake of the Russian Revolution , the area constituted itself as the Moldavian Democratic Republic , an autonomous republic part of a federative Russian state. Bolshevik agitation in late 1917 and early 1918 resulted in the intervention of the Romanian Army , ostensibly to pacify the region. Soon after, the parliamentary assembly declared independence and then Union with the Kingdom of Romania . [1] The legality of these acts was however disputed, most prominently by the Soviet Union , which regarded the area as a territory occupied by Romania. In 1940, after securing the assent of Nazi Germany through the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact , the Soviet Union pressured Romania into withdrawing from Bessarabia, allowing the Red Army to militarily occupy the region. The area was formally integrated into the Soviet Union: the core region joined parts of the Moldavian ASSR to form the Moldavian SSR , while the territories inhabited by Slavic majorities in the North and the South of Bessarabia were transferred to the Ukrainian SSR. Axis -aligned Romania briefly recaptured the region in 1941, during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union , but lost it in 1944, as the tide of war changed. In 1947, the Soviet-Romanian border set along the Prut River was internationally recognised by the Paris Treaty that ended World War II . During the process of dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Moldavian and Ukrainian SSR proclaimed their independence in 1991, becoming the modern states of Moldova and Ukraine, while preserving the existing partition of Bessarabia. Following a short war in the early 1990s, Transnistria proclaimed itself the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic , separate from the government of the Republic of Moldova, extending its authority also over the municipality of Bender in Bessarabia. Part of the Gagauz -inhabited areas in the southern Bessarabia were organised in 1994 as an autonomous region within Moldova. Contents Edit Map of Bessarabia within Moldavia through the time The region is bounded by the Dniester River to the north and east, the Prut to the west and the lower River Danube and the Black Sea to the south. It has approximately 17,600 sq mi (46,000 km2). The area is mostly hilly plains with flat steppes . It is very fertile for agriculture, and it also has some lignite deposits and stone quarries. People living in the area grow sugar beets , sunflowers, wheat, maize, tobacco, wine grapes and fruit. They also raise sheep and cattle. Currently, the main industry in the region is agricultural processing. The region's main cities are Chişinău , the capital of Moldova, Izmail , Bilhorod-Dnistrovs'kyi (historically called Cetatea Albă / Akkerman). Other towns of administrative or historical importance include: Khotyn , Lipcani , Briceni , Soroca , Bălţi , Orhei ,

What Swiss psychologist conceived 'extraversion' and 'introversion', and personality tendencies of intuition, sensing, feeling and thinking?

The Theory Behind the TypeFinder | Truity The Theory Behind the TypeFinder The TypeFinder looks at your tendencies and characteristics across four dimensions of personality: Extraversion/Introversion describes your approach to managing your energy level Sensing/Intuition describes your style of thinking about facts and ideas Thinking/Feeling describes your orientation to personal values Judging/Perceiving describes your approach to goals and time management The goal of the TypeFinder is to help you find the personality type, out of sixteen possibilities, that best reflects your attitudes and behavior. By asking you questions about your approach to each aspect of life, we aim to help you understand how you can best describe your own personality. You may already recognize the four-letter codes we use to describe personality types. These type codes have been made famous by other assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (a registered trademark of the MBTI Trust, Inc.) and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter® (a registered trademark of David Keirsey).  But the TypeFinder is a little different. The TypeFinder takes the extremely useful system of personality types and improves its validity by incorporating modern personality research. Over the past 60 years, the sixteen-type system has proved itself invaluable in helping people understand themselves and others, choose appropriate careers, and develop as people. However, although  Myers' work on personality types was revolutionary, it is also several decades old. Traditional assessments based on her theories don't benefit from the wealth of information about personality that psychologists have discovered in recent years. We have modernized the concept of personality types by blending the theories of Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers with the findings of contemporary psychologists, specifically, the Big Five model of personality. While we still use types to describe people, incorporating findings in the Big Five field allows us to give you a more accurate and up-to-date assessment. Briggs and Myers' Theory The Modern Five Factor Model Extraversion vs. Introversion / Extraversion Your preference for where you get your energy: from other people, or from time alone The TypeFinder Framework Extraversion vs. Introversion Your energy style: Do you engage with the world looking for excitement, or keep to yourself and conserve your energy? The Modern Five Factor Mode Extraversion Describes how much pleasure and reward a person gains from interacting with the world. High scorers are sociable, active, ambitious, and more likely to experience positive emotions. Sensing vs. Intuition / Openness Briggs and Myers' Theory Sensing vs. Intuition Your preference for how you take in information: through your five senses, or through a "sixth sense" of intuition The TypeFinder Framework Your cognitive style: Do you think about things factually and realistically, or symbolically and creatively? The Modern Five Factor Mode Openness Describes a person's tendency to think in abstract, imaginative ways. High scorers are more likely to appreciate art and cultural activities and to adopt unconventional ideas. Thinking vs. Feeling / Agreeableness Briggs and Myers' Theory Thinking vs. Feeling Your preference for how you make decisions: using logic and objectivity, or moral values and personal concerns The TypeFinder Framework Your values style: Do you appreciate cooperation and compassion, or competence and objectivity? The Modern Five Factor Mode Agreeableness Describes how inclined a person is to empathize and cooperate with others. High scorers are compassionate, accommodating, and altruistic. Judging vs. Perceiving / Conscientiousness Briggs and Myers' Theory Judging vs. Perceiving Your preference for how you organize your life: keeping things planned and organized, or open and spontaneous The TypeFinder Framework Your life management style: Do you like structure and order, or freedom and spontaneity? The Modern Five Factor Mode Conscientiousness Describes how goal-oriented and persistent a person

What's the full name of Sherlock Holmes' companion/narrator?

SparkNotes: Hound of the Baskervilles: Plot Overview Hound of the Baskervilles Context Character List The Hound of the Baskervilles opens with a mini mystery—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson speculate on the identity of the owner of a cane that has been left in their office by an unknown visitor. Wowing Watson with his fabulous powers of observation, Holmes predicts the appearance of James Mortimer, owner of the found object and a convenient entrée into the baffling curse of the Baskervilles. Entering the office and unveiling an 18th century manuscript, Mortimer recounts the myth of the lecherous Hugo Baskerville. Hugo captured and imprisoned a young country lass at his estate in Devonshire, only to fall victim to a marauding hound of hell as he pursued her along the lonesome moors late one night. Ever since, Mortimer reports, the Baskerville line has been plagued by a mysterious and supernatural black hound. The recent death of Sir Charles Baskerville has rekindled suspicions and fears. The next of kin, the duo finds out, has arrived in London to take up his post at Baskerville Hall, but he has already been intimidated by an anonymous note of warning and, strangely enough, the theft of a shoe. Agreeing to take the case, Holmes and Watson quickly discover that Sir Henry Baskerville is being trailed in London by a mysterious bearded stranger, and they speculate as to whether the ghost be friend or foe. Holmes, however, announces that he is too busy in London to accompany Mortimer and Sir Henry to Devonshire to get to the bottom of the case, and he sends Dr. Watson to be his eyes and ears, insisting that he report back regularly. Once in Devonshire, Watson discovers a state of emergency, with armed guards on the watch for an escaped convict roaming the moors. He meets potential suspects in Mr. Barrymore and Mrs. Barrymore, the domestic help, and Mr. Jack Stapleton and his sister Beryl, Baskerville neighbors. A series of mysteries arrive in rapid succession: Barrymore is caught skulking around the mansion at night; Watson spies a lonely figure keeping watch over the moors; and the doctor hears what sounds like a dog's howling. Beryl Stapleton provides an enigmatic warning and Watson learns of a secret encounter between Sir Charles and a local woman named Laura Lyons on the night of his death. Doing his best to unravel these threads of the mystery, Watson discovers that Barrymore's nightly jaunts are just his attempt to aid the escaped con, who turns out to be Mrs. Barrymore's brother. The doctor interviews Laura Lyons to assess her involvement, and discovers that the lonely figure surveying the moors is none other than Sherlock Holmes himself. It takes Holmes—hidden so as not to tip off the villain as to his involvement—to piece together the mystery. Mr. Stapleton, Holmes has discovered, is actually in line to inherit the Baskerville fortune, and as such is the prime suspect. Laura Lyons was only a pawn in Stapleton's game, a Baskerville beneficiary whom Stapleton convinced to request and then miss a late night appointment with Sir Charles. Having lured Charles onto the moors, Stapleton released his ferocious pet pooch, which frightened the superstitious nobleman and caused a heart attack. In a dramatic final scene, Holmes and Watson use the younger Baskerville as bait to catch Stapleton red-handed. After a late supper at the Stapletons', Sir Henry heads home across the moors, only to be waylaid by the enormous Stapleton pet. Despite a dense fog, Holmes and Watson are able to subdue the beast, and Stapleton, in his panicked flight from the scene, drowns in a marshland on the moors. Beryl Stapleton, who turns out to be Jack's harried wife and not his sister, is discovered tied up in his house, having refused to participate in his dastardly scheme. Back in London, Holmes ties up the loose ends, announcing that the stolen shoe was used to give the hound Henry's scent, and that mysterious warning note came from Beryl Stapleton, whose philandering husband had denied their marriage so as to seduce and use Laura Lyons.

As with the last time we explored grammatical errors , I feel compelled to mention that copywriting and blogging should be conversational and engaging, and breaking formal grammatical and spelling conventions can often be a good thing. Every time I see a comment complaining about something like, oh, I don’t know… the improper use of an ellipsis or one-sentence paragraphs, I shake my head with sadness. They just don’t get it. Outside of specific professional or academic contexts, writing with a personal style that makes it easier on the reader is more important than pleasing Strunk and White . That said, I also believe you have to know the rules in order to break them. Plus, there are some errors that you’ll never convince anyone that you did intentionally in the name of style (outside of a joke), and even then some people will still assume you’re dumb. So, let’s take a look at some more of those types of glaring errors that you never want to make. Thanks to reader suggestions and the aforementioned Messrs. Strunk and White, here are seven more common mistakes that can diminish the shine and credibility of your writing. 1. Loose vs. Lose This one drives a lot of people crazy, including me. In fact, it’s so prevalent among bloggers that I once feared I was missing something, and somehow “loose” was a proper substitute for “lose” in some other English-speaking countries. Here’s a hint: it’s not. If your pants are too loose, you might lose your pants. 2. Me, Myself, and I One of the most common causes of grammatical pain is the choice between “me” and “I.” Too often people use “I” when they should use “me,” because since “I” sounds stilted and proper, it must be right, right? Nope. The easy way to get this one right is to simply remove the other person from the sentence and then do what sounds correct. You would never say “Give I a call,” so you also wouldn’t say “Give Chris and I a call.” Don’t be afraid of me. And whatever you do, don’t punt and say “myself” because you’re not sure whether “me” or “I” is the correct choice. “Myself” is only proper in two contexts, both of which are demonstrated below. Many consider Chris a punk, but I myself tolerate him. Which brings me to ask myself, why? 3. Different than vs. Different from This one slips under the radar a lot, and I’ll bet I’ve screwed it up countless times. It boils down to the fact that things are logically different from one another, and using the word “than” after different is a grammatical blunder. This vase is different from the one I have, but I think mine is better than this one. 4. Improper Use of the Apostrophe Basically, you use an apostrophe in two cases: For contractions (don’t for do not) To show possession (Frank’s blog means the blog belongs to Frank) If still in doubt, leave the apostrophe out. It causes more reader confusion to insert an apostrophe where it doesn’t belong than it does to omit one. Plus, you can always plead the typo defense if you leave an apostrophe out, but you look unavoidably dumb when you stick one where it doesn’t belong. 5. Parallelism Back when I talked about bullet points , one of the tips involved keeping each bullet item in parallel by beginning with the same part of speech. For example, each item might similarly begin with a verb like so: deliver…


What nation, the most sparsely populated of the EU, has nearly 200,000 lakes?

Globalization ~ Finland: What's the Secret to Its Success? - Where We Stand : Where We Stand Globalization Finland: What's the Secret to Its Success? Finland is the most sparsely populated country in Europe – the majority of it covered with forests and lakes. It boasts great natural beauty, world-renowned saunas, and is home to the phone giant Nokia. But none of these attributes are what inspires delegations from more than 50 countries to travel there annually. Instead, these international visitors head to Finland for a first-hand look at one of the things the country does best: education. The Finns call these delegates “educational pilgrims.” Their mission? To find out the secret to the Finn’s success. Finland has always boasted first-rate schools, but the country has made headlines over the past decade for consistently performing at the top of an international test known as PISA (The Programme for International Student Assessment). Sponsored by the Organization for Economic Development (OECD), the test in reading, science and math is administered triennially to 15-year-olds in 57 developed countries, which together account for nearly 90 percent of the world’s GDP. Of those countries, Finland placed first overall on the 2006 tests, which focused on science, compared with the U.S.’s position in the middle of the pack. Finland has maintained this lead since the test was first administered in 2000, ranking first in that year’s reading assessment. In addition, Finland has a high-school dropout rate of less than 1 percent – compared with roughly 25 percent in the U.S. And in tertiary education, the World Economic Forum ranks Finland first in the world in enrollment and quality. When asked about their ranking, Finnish educators and experts consistently cite the country’s teachers. In Finland, they say, teaching is considered one of the most highly esteemed professions – hardly a surprise, considering the fact that all of the country’s teachers must hold master’s degrees, and the profession is highly competitive. Even though the salaries of Finnish teachers are comparable to those in the U.S., a job opening in a Finnish classroom typically attracts more than 40 applicants. The job’s popularity can be partly attributed to the country’s liberal approach to its curriculum. In Finland, teachers are allowed to choose their own textbooks and customize their lesson plans. They aren’t required to administer standardized tests, and assign little homework. “Teachers are very independent, and there is little cooperation between teachers,” says Maria Lisa Wahlfors, a teacher at the Tapiola School outside of Helsinki. “I think having this freedom is much better because I can choose the material I want to teach, and it can match my personality.” In addition, the Finn’s success is due in large part to the country’s demographics. Unlike the United States, where great disparities in income and an extremely diverse population present obstacles to education, Finland enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world, is largely homogeneous, and has a strong national culture.

What sparking wine from Catalonia is traditionally and incorrectly referred to as Spanish Champagne?

Everything You Need to Know About Catalan Sparkling Wine - Devour Barcelona BOOK NOW Everything You Need to Know About Catalan Sparkling Wine Love a glass of bubbly? Cava, the wonderful Catalan sparkling wine, is a staple to the local gastronomy and culture. As a sparkling wine, cava has long taken a backseat to the French champagne, even incorrectly being referred to as “Spanish champagne”, but we are proud to say that this is no longer the case. Cava finally is being recognised for the wonderful drink that it is, and we are happy to share with you everything you need to know about this Catalan sparkling wine so you can get excited about trying some when you are in the region. What is cava? To put it simply, cava is the sparkling wine of Spain, most notably, of the northeastern state of Catalonia. The name “cava” is designated only for those wineries that follow specific protocols in the vineyard and winemaking process. Cava is typically made with three main grape varieties: macabeu, parellada and xarel.lo (though these are not exclusive) and produced as a sparkling white or rosé wine, ranging from very dry to sweet. The name comes from the Catalan word for “cave” or “cellar”, where the wine was traditionally stored or aged. Where does it come from? According to the appellations, cava can be from eight different regions in Spain, though 95% of it is made in Catalonia. Cava was first made in the region of Penedès, just some 50 kilometers south of Barcelona, in the mid 1800s, and this wine making region continues to be the top cava producer in Catalonia and Spain.

Cava is wonderfully mediterranean – the plentiful sunshine and mild climate in which the grapes grow make for a delightfully clean and refreshing wine. The very drinkable cava goes well with practically anything, too, from fried fish to dessert, and in Catalonia we take advantage of this by pairing it with meals all the way from breakfast to dessert! Cava vs. Champagne There was a time when cava was commonly referred to and labeled as Spanish champagne. Though this is no longer the case, cava is similar to champagne in that it uses the methode champenoise , the traditional method of making champagne in which the second fermentation occurs inside the bottle. However, just as any wine is subject to its environment, cava and champagne come from two very different terrains. There is not much sun in Champagne wine making region in France, resulting in a much more acidic wine, which winemakers are forced to smooth out by adding more sugar. Cava is lighter than champagne, therefore making it easier to drink. Vines in the Penedès wine region of Catalonia. Photo Credit: Justus Hayes/Shoes on Wires on FlickrCC. Drinking Cava in Barcelona Though cava is the star of celebrations like weddings, birthdays and New Years, not just in Catalonia but in the whole of Spain, in Catalonia it’s also very much an everyday drink. Most restaurants and bars will serve it by the glass, no matter the status of the establishment, and there are loads of no-frill cava bars that are always buzzing with local activity. Cava has zero pretension attached to it, which is another reason why we love it not only for a special occasion but also as an everyday drink at home. If you’d like to buy some to enjoy at home too, there are some great places to buy cava (along with other wines) in Barcelona. Another great way to enjoy cava in (or rather, near) Barcelona is by visiting the beautiful Penedès wine region, easily accessible by train or bus. Freixenet and Cordoniu , two famous cava producers, both offer different tours and visits at their wineries. For something more boutique, try Caves Nadal , a 16th century winery that produced its first cava in the 1940s. Going on a cava or winery tour makes for a wonderful day trip from Barcelona. Cava is just one beautiful part of the wonderful gastronomy of Barcelona. If you truly want to explore tradition

What Andalusian city gave its name to a bitter orange used especially in marmalade?

Delightfully Bitter Marmalade from Seville Oranges | A Gardener's Table Delightfully Bitter Marmalade from Seville Oranges Posted on March 16, 2012 by Linda Ziedrich Just as I’d imagined, orange trees lined the streets of Sevilla, Spain, where I found myself for a few hours several winters ago. As I reached for a fruit though, my friend stopped me: The oranges of Sevilla belong to the government. I could be arrested for picking one off a tree—although there are 25,000 such trees in Sevilla. Instead I picked one off the ground. This was the first time I’d held a Seville orange—or bitter orange, or sour orange—the orange of British marmalade, and the only kind of orange Europe knew for five hundred years. How was Citrus aurantium different from the navels I knew so well? This orange appeared more squat, broader than tall, with a slightly indented stem end. There was, of course, no navel at the blossom end. The skin was bumpier and had a lovely aroma a little different from that of sweet oranges. I furtively peeled the fruit, half hiding it in my coat. The peel was thinner than a navel’s, rougher inside, and easy to remove. I quickly ate the flesh, spitting out the seeds. It seemed neither bitter nor especially sour. In fact, it tasted rather bland. Had I eaten a true Seville orange, a milder variety of Citrus aurantium, or some unfamiliar variety of sweet orange (C. sinensis) growing in Sevilla? My friend couldn’t tell me. The soon-to-be-published Joy of Jams, Jellies, and Other Sweet Preserves wouldn’t be complete without a recipe for Seville orange marmalade, but I finally accepted that the book would always be incomplete in multiple ways; I couldn’t be an expert on preserving all the world’s fruits. After all, I seldom strayed far from my home in Oregon, and Seville oranges simply weren’t available there. The oranges of Seville were all exported to Britain for marmalade. Although nineteenth- and twentieth-century American cookbooks offered recipes for marmalade made from sweet oranges and other fruits, the authors seldom mentioned sour oranges. That’s because practically the only Americans who had access to sour oranges, until recently, were those who lived in southernmost areas of the country (or near West Indian grocery stores in places like New York City). Before the Spanish had ever tasted sweet oranges, they planted sour ones in warm regions of the New World. In Florida, the trees went wild. When Florida’s commercial citrus industry got underway in the nineteenth century, hardy sour-orange seedlings were used as rootstock for sweet orange scions, but the seedy, sour, bitter fruit had no commercial value. The sour-orange trees continued to thrive in the woods, though, and in both Florida and California gardeners could collect sour oranges when old rootstock would outlive scion wood. In Arizona, according to David Karp, residents used to pick sour oranges from ornamental street trees and ship them to Canada, where home cooks maintained a tradition of making of British-style marmalade.1 But most U.S. residents knew oranges only of the sweet species, especially California navels and Florida Valencias. Happily for home preservers, things have changed. In 2010 David Karp reported on a new eighty-acre sour-orange orchard situated, appropriately, in Seville, California. A company called Vita-Pakt , Karp said, was making most of the fruit into a base for commercial marmalade makers, and also producing juice for Caribbean sauce makers and brewers of Belgian-style white ales. And some of the oranges were being sold to the fresh market.2 So when I was planning a trip to Portland last month, to talk about pickles in the Incredible Edible Garden at the Yard, Garden and Patio Show, and considering what else I might accomplish while in the city, I looked at the gray winter sky and thought citrus. In my part of the state, I can buy navels, mandarins, and even tangelos, but those are generally all the orange-colored citrus that’s available in local supermarkets. In the big city, though, one of the fashionable new supermarkets I’d he

Published on Jan 23, 2014 Georges Bizet (25 October 1838 -- 3 June 1875), registered at birth as Alexandre César Léopold Bizet, was a French composer of the romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertory. The Toreador Song (Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre) is one of the most famous arias from the opera Carmen, composed by Georges Bizet to a libretto by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy. It is sung by the bullfighter Escamillo as he enters in Act 2 (toréador is reference to "bullfighter"; although the actual correct term is torero, Bizet took some poetic license and "invented" a four-syllable word which he needed in order to match the musical motif), and describes various situations in the bullring, the cheering of the crowds and the fame that comes with victory. Elements of Toréador re-appear later in Carmen: of note Toréador, en garde, which follows shortly after Votre toast... in Act 2. ---------------------------------------------------
