![]() ![]() In August, perfect conditions for ripening the grapes continued up until the harvest, with a temperature spike in early September. Nevertheless, the Oakville AVA received 28 inches of rain, most of it just in time for bud break in March. The 2016 vintage at Opus One was the fifth consecutive vintage characterized by intense drought conditions in Northern California. The Opus One vineyards are planted with classic Bordeaux grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The grapes from here are blended with fruit from the River and Ballestra Pacels, forming 70 acres that surround the Opus One winery. The first two parcels form the world-renowned To-Kalon vineyard, measuring roughly 100 acres in total. The 2016 Opus One is produced from four different parcels situated in the western region of the Oakville AVA in Napa Valley, California. Opus One stands as a brilliant example of the enormous potential of American wine country, conceived as the must-have Bordeaux First Growth of California. Together, these two wine giants have developed a California wine that brings together the unique New World terroir of the Oakville AVA with unparalleled Old World French savoir-faire. The legendary Opus One wine brand was created in the 1970’s through a merger between two visionary individuals: Baron Philippe de Rothschild (owner of the famous Pauillac First Growth Chateau Mouton-Rothschild ) and Robert Mondavi (an iconic American wine producer whose namesake wine empire stretches across California). A Brilliant California Legend from a Magical Vintage ![]() Robert Frost, a well-known American poet, often discussed the themes of human tragedies and fears, as well as their eventual acceptance or resolution, in his poetry. So, he wants someone to relieve him of his pain by killing him. He even had a childish desire for all the poor to put an end to their pain in one stroke. The poet feels quite miserable at the pitiful suffering of the poor villagers. The ‘greedy good-doers’ and ‘beneficial beasts of prey’ wanted to force the benefits on the poor villagers and to befool them. They even tried to teach them to sleep during the day. They wanted to teach them ways that could change their good and healthy habits. They’re planning to move the villagers to the village huddled together. They were aiming to buy their property on the roadside to build theaters and stores. Some good-doers are known to plan to eliminate their poverty. The poor people of the village had little income. And one of them stopped because of the need for petrol, although it was quite obvious that the farmer did not sell petrol. ![]() Another car stopped to get to know the way. It came to the farmer’s yard, and it spoiled the grass. They believe that such badly painted signs ruin the beauty of the countryside. And if few of them happen to look at it, they see how the letters N and S were wrong. ![]() People in cars are going past without even giving a cursory look at their stall. ![]() He believes that money can give him a better lifestyle than he saw in movies. He’s trying to sell his products for the money. He wants to sell wild berries, squash and other products. A few thousand cars are speeding past it. The poem is about a farmer who puts a little new shed in front of his house on the edge of the road. The poem “A Roadside Stand,” written by Robert Frost presents the lives of poor deprived people with pitiless clarity and with the deepest sympathy and humanity. However, he wonders how he might feel if someone tried to do him this supposed service until logical thought returns to his mind. He also thinks that it would be better to only bring these individuals out of their misery and struggles of life. Their lifestyles offer sufficient proof of this. ‘Polished traffic’ refers to the upper class who drive their cars to their destinations (with a mind ahead) presumably to another area, oblivious to the countryside roadside stand, and if they were distracted by it (even for a moment), they appeared out of place in it (out of sorts).Īccording to the poet, these country folk (“the necessary raise of spirit”) have not found the progress needed. They are still frustrated, however, because cars just stop to ask for the price, to ask for their way forward, to reverse or to ask for a gallon of gas. The open windows of farmer’s house appear to wait all day just to hear the sound of a car stopping to make a purchase. The new ‘greedy good doers,’ who teach these people not to use their minds, are reversing this pattern.They are unable to sleep at night because they have not performed during the day, or because their new lifestyle is upsetting.įrost then shares his personal feelings, saying that he can’t bear thinking about the farmer’s broken dreams. ‘The ancient way’ could refer to the old way of working during the day and sleeping at night. The altruists want to make these villagers fully dependent on them for all of their rewards and comforts, stripping them of their ability to reason and be self-sufficient. He just wants some (city) money to experience the plush life (make our beings expand) depicted by the movies and other media, which he is said to be denied by the political parties.įrost goes on to say that, despite the fact that these people have benefactors (good-doers) who plan to move them to villages where they will have convenient access to the cinema and the supermarket, they are simply selfish (‘greedy gooddoers’ and’beasts of prey’) and only support these “pitiful kin” to benefit themselves indirectly. The farmer tells the rich travelers that if they meant to be cruel, they should keep their money, and that the damage to the view is not as important to him as the disappointment he feels at being ignored. However, no cars ever stop and those who even glance in the direction of the stand without any feeling of concern or relatedness (out of sorts) just comment on how the building spoils the view of the surroundings or how badly painted the incorrectly pointed North and South signs are or to notice, without interest, wild berries and squash for sale in the stand or in the beautiful mountains. He’s just trying to make a living, he doesn’t beg for money. A small farmer is builds a vegetable stand on the edge of the highway outside his house, hoping that passing cars would buy the goods and earn a little money to help the cities fall into ruin. The poem begins with a description of the roadside stand and the intent behind it. ![]() Who knew? Another benefit to the safehouse is that it's also a central hub to swap partners (which was previously done on the phone) and manage inventory. As it turns out, playing video games after getting expelled by some yakuza jerks will quickly hinder your ability to fight. ![]() To explain how Misako and Kyoko forget how to fight so quickly after the events of the first game, for plot reasons, it's blamed on spending the past two months doing nothing but playing video games. There's even an achievement/trophy for this. You could have the girls and the boys together, or the girls paired with their significant other. This also extends to the "partner voice," making for interesting pairings in cutscenes. Kunio and Riki are playable characters from the start as opposed to the previous game where they had to be unlocked first. This simple fix makes playing as all four starting characters a breeze without breaking the flow of the game. Beginning with Kyoko's house, whose mother is pretty chill with having her daughter and best friend play video games for two months straight, the player can swap characters at any point without going back to the main menu. One of the major additions are the hideouts, located in each major section of town. While the locations are more or less the same as the previous game, there are key differences that make River City Girls 2 far better than just an idea of an updated River City Girls. There's even a tongue-in-cheek reference to the previous game from Misako, exclaiming how "quick" the "school section" was this time around. Once again, it's up to the duo to stop the yakuza from taking over River City, making the plot of River City Girls 2 a familiar "stop the evil organization from ruining our town" plot. Swearing to "take matters into his own hands," the boss breaks out of prison with her brother swearing to do what his sister couldn't.īefore Misako and Kyoko can even enter class late, due to the latter wanting to stop for sweets, Ken introduces himself to the girls by promptly evicting them from school. The brother of the final boss, Ken, appears to gloat over her with their father, a yakuza boss, scolding them both. The big bad from the previous game is knocked off the building, the boyfriends are "saved" (Turns out it was all an exaggerated misunderstanding), and the four are seen leaving the premises. ![]() It's not as farfetched as one would imagine seeing everything being similar to the original RCG as the sequel takes place immediately following the aftermath of River City Girls. ![]() To the south the Isle of Islay and Northern Ireland. to the Northwest is Colonsay, to the east, the whole of Kintyre with Arran beyond, Ben Lomond and the Cobbler. To the north is Loch Tarbert, the northern half of Jura, the Garvellachs and Mull. There is a commanding view to be obtained from the top of the Paps on a clear day and it is well worth the effort of climbing one of them, if the weather is settled. On one of the Paps remains of a checkpoint from the second world war can be found. Cora Bheinn, the steep mountain, stands at a height of 569 m/1893 ft to the north-east of Beinn Shiantaidh and, while not considered to be one of the Paps, is part of the same group of mountains. Beinn Shiantaidh, the Sacred Mountain, is 757m/2477 ft and stands to the east of Beinn an Oir, while Beinn a’ Chaolais, the Mountain of the Sound, stands to the south-west and is the smallest of the three at 734m/2407 ft. The highest of the three is Beinn an Oir, the Mountain of Gold, is 785m/2576 ft is the only Corbett, a mountain in Scotland between 25 ft. According to explorer Thomas Pennant, who visited Jura twenty years later, the island “carried a fairly large population right through the period of Campbell domination into the era of emigration and clearance.” The Campbell dominance lasted until 1938 when Charles Campbell, the last Laird of Jura, sold the remaining parts of the Jura Estate and houses.ĭominating the view of Jura from almost any direction are the three, distinctive and easily recognised, Paps of Jura found in the southern half of the island. When explorer Martin Martin visited the Isle of Jura in 1703 he wrote an interesting account of the island and its people. The island entered an era in which it was controlled for a longer period by the Campbell Clan in the early 1600s from which 11 lairds ruled the island. The Macleans in the meanwhile constantly strove to keep the Campbells out of north Jura. In 1506 the Treaty of Camus an Staca took away all MacDonald rights to land and power on Jura and gave them to a cadet branch of the House of Campbell. Somerled’s descendants, named Clan Donald, and more commonly known to history as the “Lords of the Isles” grew to control all of the west coast and parts of north Scotland. At some point the Norseman ruled the island from the Isle of Man until Somerled, whose steady rise to power in the Hebrides was cemented in the famous sea-battle of 1156 of Islay, ended Norse power in the Hebrides. The main stalking season is from August to the end of October.įrom a historical point of view one can say that Jura’s history is in many ways similar to the other islands of the Hebrides. If you wish to walk during the stalking season, please check with the gamekeepers concerned. Jura is ideal for walking and the visitor has almost unlimited freedom to walk almost everywhere and climb the Paps of Jura, visit the Wild west coast with it’s amazing wildlife or visit the Corryvreckan Whirlpool in the north. Jura Hotel runs Landrover trips from Craighouse to Kinuachdrach.Ĭraighouse seen from the Stone Pier Walking on Jura ![]() Especially with a strong westerly wind and upcoming tide the whirlpool is best visible. The Corryvreckan Whirlpool as it is called is caused by an underwater mountain reaching almost to the surface of the strait causing the whirlpool to activate when the tides change. Orwell had first visited the island in 1945 and had an almost fatal encounter in the Gulf of Corryvreckan that separates Jura from the smaller island of Scarba to the north. Barnhill – George Orwellīarnhill is also known for the cottage where Eric Blair, better known as George Orwell, lived from 1946-48 while writing his novel 1984. The road ends in the north of Jura, near Barnhill. On the opposite side of the Sound of Islay, the narrow strait with its fast currents, is Port Askaig Islay, a car and passenger ferry links both. The only road on the island, single track all the way, starts at the ferry terminal near Feolin. The west of the island is hard to access but offer some of the finest raised beaches in the world. The main settlement is Craighouse on the east coast, in fact almost all the people live on the south and east coast. Jura is sparsely populated and is currently inhabited by a little over 200 people. Meeting any of these majestic animals is likely while peace, isolation and tranquility are other attractions of this remote and wild island. Early writers speak of a few herds of deer numbering about 300, but the present day population is about 7,000. In Gaelic the word ‘diura’ itself means ‘tough, or durable’. ![]() The name Jura is believed to come from the Norse meaning ‘Deer Island’ although it is also said that Jura got it’s name from an earlier language. ![]() Well…the whiskey, and sharing the whiskey experience with you. The reasoning there is quite simple: I’m only interested in the whiskey. You won’t often see mention of purported secondary market “value” in my write-ups, or see glory shots of unopened bottles on my social media, and you’ll likely never see things of that nature in my grading or tasting notes. Taylor, Jr.A big part of what I’m out to do is find (TheBourbonFinder, get it? □ ) bottles at retail so I can share my experience with you –the reader. Hancock’s President’s Reserve Single BarrelĮ.H. ![]() It is based on mash bill #1, so the amount of amaranth averages 10 percent and is found only in E.H. The amaranth mash bill includes heritage grain amaranth instead of rye in its makeup. The four-grain mash bill is made from corn, rye, wheat, and malted barley and is found in only E.H. Taylor, Jr.’s Straight Rye and Barrel Proof Rye bottles. Of the Buffalo Trace brands, it can be found in E.H. With no added sweetness, this mash bill produces a flavor profile that is herbaceous and spicy. This mash bill is said to contain no corn and is instead made entirely from rye and malted barley. With at least 50 percent rye, the Buffalo Trace rye mash bill can be found in Sazerac Rye and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye. ![]() The rye mash bill of Buffalo Trace has a similar ratio to typical whiskeys whose makeup is more or less split evenly between rye and corn. Pappy Van Winkle is the most notable Buffalo Trace brand containing the wheated mash bill, but it can also be found in coveted bottles such as E.H. In this mash bill, wheat replaces the rye component of the recipe, giving its bourbons a smooth and slightly sweet taste. The most well-known brands made with mash bill #2 include Blanton’s Single Barrel, Ancient Age, and the rare Elmer T. Similar to mash bill #1, it can be found in both entry-level and highly coveted bottles. However, the term high rye is a bit misleading as it is often associated with mash bills containing 20 to 35 percent rye or more. Mash bill #2 is commonly referred to as the “high-rye mash bill” and is known to contain 12 to15 percent rye. It is thought to include 10 percent or less rye and can be found in many of the distillery’s base brands, such as Benchmark and namesake Buffalo Trace bourbon, thought is also used for highly regarded bottles like Eagle Rare 17 Year Old. Known as the “low-rye mash bill,” this is the most common and universal Buffalo Trace mash bill. Note: These are estimated amounts as Buffalo Trace does not disclose complete mash bill information. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a quick guide to each of the mash bills offered by Buffalo Trace Distillery. Knowledge of the rye percentages included in Buffalo Trace products can help determine which mash bill category the whiskey falls under. Though there are a few outliers, most of the spirits produced by Buffalo Trace fall within these categories with many of them being created from similar recipes. In the whiskey world, it’s know that the Buffalo Trace portfolio has two primary mash bills: mash bill #1, mash bill #2 plus two specific mash bills: wheated and rye. Although we don’t know the complete breakdown of each bourbon, there is some known information that allows us to decipher where the flavors for each begin. The core taste of every bourbon and whiskey lies in its mash bill, and while some bourbon brands fully disclose their recipes, the exact blends of Buffalo Trace’s range have remained a very well-kept secret. As a leader in the category, it produces some of the rarest and most beloved products available and has cultivated a fanbase devoted to unique styles and distinct flavor profiles. No doubt about it, Buffalo Trace Distillery is one of the best known in the whiskey world. In this episode, character Dr. Reid also notices that locations Who uses the Fibonacci sequence to determine the number of victims for each of his The agents of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit are confronted by a serial killer ![]() "Masterpiece" (2008) of the CBS-TV crime drama "Criminal Minds," Of crystals and the spiral of galaxies and a nautilus shell.

Remarkably, it was yet another hundred years before Leonardo would once again be acknowledged academically and given the credit to which he is due. This was in 1797, over five centuries after Leonardo had died. This remarkable endorsement did not resuscitate Leonardo’s legacy, however, and his name was once more quickly forgotten.įor another three hundred years historical anonymity obscured the achievements of Leonardo Pisano until one day, by slim chance, a mathematics historian named Pietro Cossali (1748-1815) noticed Pacioli’s reference and began researching Leonardo’s works on his own. No biographies were written about him or his many accomplishments in math even mathematicians did not know who he was until 1494, when a respected Italian mathematician named Luca Pacioli (1447-1517) briefly mentioned Leonardo’s name in the introduction to a book of his own, Summa, giving credit to him for most of the ideas presented in his own book. Master Leonardo Pisano (not to be confused with Leonardo da Vinci) was a beloved public servant of Pisa, Italy, who achieved fame during his lifetime (ca.1170 – ca.1250) but was forgotten within two hundred years. ![]() ![]() The formula for Golden Ratio is: F(n) = (x^n – (1-x)^n)/(x – (1-x)) where x = (1+sqrt 5)/2 ~ 1.618 The Golden Ratio represents a fundamental mathematical structure which appears prevalent – some say ubiquitous – throughout Nature, especially in organisms in the botanical and zoological kingdoms. Phi and phi are also known as the Golden Number and the Golden Section. CB/AC – is the same as the ratio of the larger part, AC, to the whole line AB. In the image below, the ratio of the smaller part of a line (CB), to the larger part (AC) – i.e. Phi (Φ), 1.61803 39887…, is also the number derived when you divide a line in mean and extreme ratio, then divide the whole line by the largest mean section its inverse is phi (φ), 0.61803 39887…, obtained when dividing the extreme (smaller) portion of a line by the (larger) mean. ![]() After these first ten ratios, the quotients draw ever closer to Phi and appear to converge upon it, but never quite reach it because it is an irrational number. When a number in the Fibonacci series is divided by the number preceding it, the quotients themselves become a series that follows a fascinating pattern: 1/1 = 1, 2/1 = 2, 3/2 = 1.5, 5/3 = 1.666…, 8/5 = 1.6, 13/8 = 1.625, 21/13 = 1.61538, 34/21 = 1.619, 55/34 = 1.6176…, and 89/55 = 1.618… The first ten ratios approach the numerical value 1.618034… which is called the “Golden Ratio” or the “Golden Number,” represented by the Greek letter Phi (Φ, φ). Related to the Fibonacci sequence is another famous mathematic term: the Golden Ratio. They all share a similar defensive special, their jumping specials are largely the same, and there isn’t one character that is head and shoulders above the rest. The reality is that there aren’t too many discernible differences between the five characters.

T he Shoebill is primarily found in East Africa’s swamps and marshlands, especially Uganda. Molecular studies have found the hamerkop to be the closest relative of the Shoebill.

From almost any other angle, though, he’s a remarkable sight. He is big-nosed, peering over his spectacles. Some say that the Shoebill Stork looks like an old university professor. The bird is over four to five feet tall, has yellow-green eyes, and a massive shoe-shaped bill giving an almost cartoonlike appearance. The Shoebill Stork of Uganda seems surreal, eerily prehistoric, something out of Jurassic Park. The early Arab, Swahili Traders, called the Shoebill Stork “Abu Maruk,” meaning the shoe’s father.
