A.E. Coppard papers, 1932-1952.
Coppard, A. E. (Alfred Edgar), 1878-1957. A.E. Coppard papers, 1932-1952.
Consists primarily of autograph letters from Coppard to the novelist Don Suddaby on a wide variety of personal and professional matters. Coppard makes reference to or discusses a large number of the important writers of the day, including D.H. Lawrence, George Moore, H.G. Wells, Roy Campbell, T.S. Eliot, E.F. Benson, and P.G. Wodehouse. Political subjects are also somewhat discussed, with references to many political figures, among them Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, and Adolf Hitler. Coppard also comments at length on Suddaby's novels. Many of the letters are signed with Coppard's nickname, "Flynn." There is also a small number of letters (autograph and typescript) concerning a dinner to be held for Coppard on his 75th birthday. Writers of these letters include Jonathan Cape, Leonard Woolf's secretary, Robert Gibbings, Christopher Sandford, and T.S. Eliot's secretary. All of these letters are addressed to David Posner of Wadham College Oxford, who appears to have organized the event. The collection also includes an 11 page autograph manuscript by Coppard of the short story "Chinfeathers". The manuscript is on lined paper and heavily corrected in Coppard's hand. The first page of the manuscript is dated November 3, 1939.

50-yr-old hotel owner killed by his workers, they escaped with his car, documents & CCTV
The Niger State Police Command, has started investigations into the killing of the owner of Deploo Hotel and Suites, Lucky Okonkwo, who was murdered on Friday, August 19th in his hotel in Suleja, Niger State.
It was learnt that 59-year-old Lucky
was stabbed to death on Friday by a
three-man gang, suspected to be
workers at the hotel, shortly after he
returned from a trip to Kaduna. He
was said to be at the hotel for the purpose of supervision.
After killing the victim, the suspects
took away the Closed Circuit
Television decoder of the hotel, the
victim's phones and fled in his
Peugeot 406 saloon car.
They also took away a file containing certain information about the hotel.
The security men at the hotel, who
were the prime suspects, were
reported to have fled immediately
the incident happened and had since been unreachable on their
telephone lines.
They were identified as Frank Anavukko, Victor Anerah and
Emmanuel Adeh.
A source told Punch that the incident was discovered Saturday morning by a housekeeper who saw a pool of blood streaming out from the victim's office.
The matter was reported at the Madalla Police Division and some of the hotel workers were arrested.
Lucky, an indigene of Delta State,
was said to be the immediate past
Vice-President of the Nigerian
Association of Technology
Engineering, North-West zone.
The victim's first son, Paul, told Punch that his father was killed around 7pm. He stated that workers at the hotel claimed not to have known when his father was murdered.
He said, "He just returned from a trip
and around 7pm of that day, he
went to his office. When his workers
didn't see him and they discovered
he was not reachable on his
telephone lines, they called my mum the following day.
"She rushed down to the hotel and
met him in a pool of blood. The
workers claimed they didn't know
when it happened. They said they
only saw three people going into his office and the same set of people driving out in his car. They said they also saw those people with the CCTV decoder and when they queried them, they said, 'Oga asked us to go and repair it'.
"Aside from the CCTV and the car,
those men also left with his money
and other valuables. We don't really
know the motivation for the
murder."
Paul said the family reported the case to the police at the Madalla division, adding that some of the workers on duty at the time had been arrested.
He urged the police to speed up
investigations and bring the perpetrators of the crime to book.
A source said the father of five
struggled with his assailants before
he was overpowered and killed. He said,
"The man was a retired PHCN
worker. He was killed on Friday
night. On Saturday morning, a man
cleaning the hotel saw a pool of
blood coming out of his office and
raised the alarm. At the scene, there was a knife with which he was killed.
There were also signs of struggle as
the office table was broken. He had a deep knife cut in his palm, probably while he was holding the knife from piercing into him. They drove away his grey colour Peugeot 406 saloon car, with number plate KUJ-424 BB. They also made away with a file containing some information about the hotel."
It was gathered that the case had
already been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and
Intelligence Department, Minna. A
source said the fleeing hotel guards
were the prime suspects.
"One of them is already in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State. How can
something happen on Friday and in
less than 24 hours, you have already disappeared to Port Harcourt if not that you are culpable?"
The Police Public Relations Officer,
Niger State Police Command, Elkana
Bala, said the police were closing in
on the suspects, saying police
findings showed that Lucky was
killed by his workers.

Researchers in the United Kingdom have discovered that copper has the ability to prevent the horizontal transmission of genes, which has fuelled the spread of global antibiotic-resistant infections. The finding was recently published in the journal mBio. The University of Southampton scientists say horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in bacteria plays a major role in the development of antibiotic resistance, which triggers headaches for researchers who are trying to find ways to treat healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). Despite the fact that HGT emerges in various environments, including buses, trolleys, door handles and frequently touched surfaces, copper not only puts a stop to this process but it also kills bacteria on contact. 'Whilst studies have focused on HGT in vivo, this work investigates whether the ability of pathogens to persist in the environment, particularly on touch surfaces, may also play an important role,' said senior author Bill Keevil, head of Environmental Healthcare at the University of Southampton. 'Here we show prolonged survival of multidrug resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae on stainless steel surfaces for several weeks. However, rapid death of both antibiotic-resistant strains and destruction of plasmid and genomic DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] was observed on copper and copper alloy surfaces, which could be useful in the prevention of infection spread and gene transfer.' By demonstrating the connection between touch surfaces and horizontal transmission of genes, the team added weight to the theory that the environment contributes significantly to the prevention of infection. 'We know many human pathogens survive for long periods in the hospital environment and can lead to infection, expensive treatment, blocked beds and death,' Professor Keevil said. 'What we have shown in this work is the potential for strategically placed antimicrobial copper touch surfaces to not only break the chain of contamination, but also actively reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance developing at the same time. Provided adequate cleaning continues in critical environments, copper can be employed as an important additional tool in the fight against pathogens.' The Southampton professor pointed out that copper can also impact infection control, noting that copper touch surfaces can help prevent antibiotic resistance transfer in public buildings and mass transportation systems, which trigger dissemination of multidrug-resistant superbugs on both the local and international fronts. 'People with inadequate hand hygiene could exchange their bugs and different antibiotic resistance genes just by touching a stair rail or door handle, ready to be picked up by someone else and passed on,' Professor Keevil said. 'Copper substantially reduces and restricts the spread of these infections, making an important contribution to improved hygiene and, consequently, health.' Copper touch surfaces have already appeared in the United Kingdom, but more are expected to come.For more information, please visit:University of Southampton:http://www.southampton.ac.uk/mBio:http://mbio.asm.org/

WATCH: Antioch church shooting trial is back in session with testimony from police investigators
by: WKRN Web Staff
Click here to watch live coverage from the courtroom.
Emanuel Samson is sitting in the courtroom, listening to new evidence in his trial. He's accused in a 43-count indictment, including murder in the shooting rampage that took place at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in September 2017.
Prosecutors are questioning police officers who responded to the shooting and are describing evidence they found at the scene.
A Metro police officer says he looked in the suspect's Nissan X-Terra and saw a handwritten note on the dashboard.
We are seeing the note for the first time. It makes reference to the mass shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston South Carolina on June 17, 2015. The note says, "Dylan Roof is less than nothing. The blood that's shed is the same as the blood that's shed on the RBG flag. (in terms of vengeance) 1 up B*tch." The message ends with a smiley face.
Jurors in the Emanuel Samson trial listened to eight hours of graphic testimony yesterday on the first day of the trial.
Witnesses who were wounded in the shooting rampage gave compelling accounts of what they heard and saw at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ on September 24, 2017.
Gripping testimony from witnesses and victims of the Antioch church shooting
The jury also heard from church usher Caleb Engle, who confronted the gunman, disarmed him and held him until police arrived.
Samson's attorney, Jennifer Lynn Thompson, countered that Samson's true intention was to kill himself. He left a suicide note for his girlfriend and sent a goodbye video to his cousin, according to Thompson.
At a hearing in April, it was revealed that a psychiatrist diagnosed Samson with "schizoaffective disorder bipolar type" and post-traumatic stress disorder after an abusive, violent upbringing.

Kyle Sandilands slams 'loser' Waleed Aly
Kyle Sandilands slams 'loser' Waleed Aly and compares The Project host's style to a 'Westfield security guard'
By Kinta Walsh-cotton For Daily Mail Australia
Published: 01:40 GMT, 26 November 2022 | Updated: 02:15 GMT, 26 November 2022
Kyle Sandilands made his feelings about Waleed Aly clear on Friday when he let loose on The Project host live on KIIS FM's The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
The radio host, 51, spoke with fill-in co-host Brittany Hockley and guest Sarah Harris who is set to take Carrie Bickmore's seat on The Project next year.
He bashed the Channel 10 presenter, 44, for his choice in tie before calling him a 'loser' and 'lame' for playing the saxophone in a 'rock band'.

When Sarah, 41, revealed that she'd first met Waleed at a photoshoot, Kyle asked what the Monash University lecturer was like in person.
'What's he like as a human because on TV with the thin little tie it reminds me of like a Westfield security guard. I'm like, "Get a decent tie brother,"' he said.
Sarah attempted to stick up for the man, saying: 'Waleed has got a freak flag that I want to see him fly. He's in a rock band. He plays the saxophone and the guitar. He's a football fanatic.'
The radio host slammed Aly while speaking to guest Sarah Harris (pictured), who is set to take Carrie Bickmore's seat on The Project next year
At this, Kyle groaned and began to chant 'loser' over and over again before declaring: 'No one wants to see Waleed playing a saxophone. That's so lame.'
It comes amid a mass exodus as hosts of The Project have been dropping from like flies.
Lisa Wilkinson abruptly quit co-hosting 10's flagship current affairs program last Sunday citing 'targeted toxicity' from sections of the media as the reasoning behind her exit.

Both comedian Peter Helliar and co-host Carrie Bickmore also revealed they were leaving.
Peter, 47, became the latest star to quit on Tuesday night's program, claiming he needed more time to work on other ventures.
Long-time anchor Carrie, 41, confirmed her departure a month ago. Her last appearance is scheduled for next Wednesday's program.

The Project has struggled in the ratings in previous years, with a consistent decline in ratings.
OzTAM ratings have previously revealed The Project had lost almost a third of its audience since 2011.
The struggling show saw its metro ratings plummet to an all-time low of just 367,000 last year which is a 30 per cent decline from its five-city audience of 538,000 a decade earlier.

Darnell McIntosh Signs Three Year Extension with Huddersfield Giants
Darnell McIntosh, the Huddersfield Giants academy star, has signed a new three-year contract extension with the team.
The 19 year old is in his first year of full time training with the team but he is yet to make his Super League debut. Nonetheless, Head Coach Rick Stone has insisted that McIntosh has what it takes to become a top line player.

— Huddersfield Giants (@Giantsrl) November 22, 2016
Speaking recently Stone said that McIntosh has "impressed" him and said that the player "has made some sacrifices to be here in the first place and has fully bought into my beliefs on the work ethic and professionalism on and off the field I want to see in the group."
Stone went on to say that in Rugby League nothing comes easily but people get what they deserve and that McIntosh "fully deserves" the security of a contract extension which will give him the time to see if he can become a fully-fledged regular Super League player.
According to Stone McIntosh must now work hard on the field and in the gym, he said that he already has a "good frame to build some size onto and some natural speed and footwork too which is vital in an outside back these days."
Stone is now expecting to see McIntosh in the pre-season games "having a run out with the top line senior team" and he is looking forward to seeing how he adapts to it.
McIntosh said that he is "delighted" to have signed the extension and said that he hopes that this year he can have a chance in the pre-season fixtures and make his Super League debut in 2017.
He said that he feels he has been developing as a play and that he knows if he continues to work hard he will be ready for when his opportunity comes.

The influence of montelukast on the autonomic nervous system activity in rats with cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis
Lukasz Dobrek ,	Beata Skowron ,	Agnieszka Baranowska ,	Piotr Jan Thor
The complex pathogenesis of cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis involves arachidonic acid-derived inflammatory mediators, among them leukotrienes. Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, is reported to exert an alleviatory effect in the course of cystitis associated with overactive bladder symptoms. The aim of this study was to verify whether the effect of montelukast is also associated with its influence on autonomic activity. The experiment included 20 rats with cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis (75 mg/kg, four doses every second day), among them, 10 treated with oral montelukast (10 mg/kg for 8 days) and 10 controls. Time and frequency domain analyses of heart rate variability (HRV) were conducted in all the rats as an indirect measure of their autonomic activity. The montelukast-treated animals showed an increase in root mean square of successive differences (rMSSD), as well as an increase in HRV spectrum total power (TP) and power of very low (VLF) spectral component. This suggests that due to its anti-inflammatory and its anti-leukotriene effect, montelukast improves overall autonomic activity, with no preferential influence on either the sympathetic or parasympathetic part. Furthermore, the increase in VLF corresponds to attenuation of inflammatory response. In conclusion, this study showed that aside from its antagonistic effect on leukotriene receptors, montelukast can also modulate autonomic activity.

OWC releases USB-C version of Envoy Pro EX external SSD
By Andrew O'Hara
Tuesday, June 25, 2019, 04:37 am PT (07:37 am ET)
OWC is launching a new version of its bus-powered Envoy Pro EX portable SSD with fast speeds over USB-C.
Envoy Pro EX now supports USB-C
Envoy Pro EX is an external NVMe M.2 SSD with a durable enclosure and ultra-fast speeds, adding to OWC's massive lineup of storage solutions.
The enclosure is all aluminum which offers durable protection and shock resistance. It is sealed to prevent dust and water from entering the drive and can even be submerged down to a meter for up to 30 minutes, i.e. an IP67 rating.
The Envoy Pro EX is both water and dust resistant
OWC purports that the Envoy Pro EX is so fast —up to 980 MB/s —that it is the fastest USB-C SSD to ever hit the market.
"This is unquestionably the fastest USB-C SSD ever produced, period," said Larry O'Connor, OWC CEO and Founder. "Our Envoy Pro EX family of SSDs has been a massive hit with both our professional and prosumer customers, especially for demanding workflows in-studio or rugged environments."
The Envoy Pro EX works but on Mac and PC and is available in capacities up to 2TB.
OWC launched a Thunderbolt 3 version earlier this year at CES 2019.
You can pick up the Envoy Pro EX with USB-C starting at $94.99 for just the enclosure going up to $429.99 for the 2TB configuration. 250GB, 500GB, and 1TB options are also available.

Families today face the challenge of keeping family wealth in the family, while continuing the legacy of the wealth creator. Families that successfully share values through generations will preserve and expand the family's wealth. The author believes that the most effective approach for a family of significant wealth to preserve and enhance its wealth through the generations is by the creation of a properly functioning family office. The CIO, CFO, and trustee functions described support the objectives of a wealthy family that wants absolute control over its own affairs, completely customized and personalized service, and privacy. Thoughtfully managed, the family office is the best chance available for a family to successfully share its values and its wealth with succeeding generations.


Gerry Hussey on the mindset of elite athletes, mastering flow state and why ego hinders performance.
WHY DO SOME sportspeople thrive in high-pressure situations and others don't?
In last year's All-Ireland hurling final for instance, Limerick's 19-year-old Kyle Hayes saved his best performance of the season for the biggest stage of all.
In front of 82,300 spectators, the centre-forward clipped over four points from play and provided the assist for Graeme Mulcahy's crucial first-half goal.
Hayes put himself about the field, hungry to get on the ball and unafraid to make mistakes. Man-of-the-match honours followed for the teenager and Limerick ended their 45-year wait without the Liam MacCarthy Cup.
His undoubted ability aside, what was it about Hayes's mental approach that allowed him pull off a clutch performance in the white-heat of his first senior All-Ireland final? Are some players more capable of being clutch than others?
"It's interesting," renowned performance psychology coach Gerry Hussey tells The42.
"If we knew it and could bottle it we'd all be happy people. For me, it's just your mindset. We become overly emotionally attached to outcomes – and that can be a sportsperson or someone in a job, with a promotion or interview.
Hussey played a key role in Irish boxing for years, while he's also worked with a host of Olympians, rugby players, golfers and various inter-county sides – including the Tipperary hurlers for their All-Ireland success 2016.
"What I find with a lot of athletes is they actually love what they do and they're intrigued by it," he says. "They have a fascination about the game. For a boxer, he loves being in the ring. He loves trying to outthink the opponent in front of him.
"He's engaged in the process and he's not actually overly attached to the outcome. What he knows is the better he gets the process, the more he performs in the moment. So the more he performs in round one the more likely he is to win round 12.
But he's not thinking about it. So in pressure situations, the pressure really is only inside your head if you're overly dependent on the outcome. When you can become more attached to the process and winning the moment in front of you and not being defined by the moment, you're not afraid to fail, you're not afraid to make a mistake.
"And if you do, you can respond really quickly. With athletes I work with, we have a process we call WIN – What's Important Now. If you're in round one you're focused on what's important now, if you're playing in Croke Park and ten minutes are gone and it's just not going well, you focus on what's important now.
Many athletes who've reached the top are naturally gifted at getting themselves into the right headspace to achieve peak performance under pressure, but it's a skill that can be learned too.
Hussey is one of the lead ambassadors of the upcoming WellGood programme.
Hussey helps players train the brain to think calmly under pressure by using techniques that quieten the mind during competition.
"Your subconscious mind is designed to keep you safe and keep you away from anything that's perceived as a threat or dangerous situation," he explains.
It engages the 'flight or flight' response in the brain's stress centre, which shuts down the prefrontal cortex – the place that controls decision making and spatial awareness.
When sportspeople are perceived to be 'choking', science tells us they're simply operating from the wrong part of the brain.
"In that moment, the athletes I work with would have very simple but effective reset triggers," he says. "They involve breathing and body language, a reset. When we play games, it's very hard to focus and concentrate for the full thing.
"What we do is we break that down into microgames. So every two minutes is a game and we're resetting after every two minutes. When you then develop that mindset, you're controlling your breathing and body language all the way through the game – you're resetting it all the time.
"Even though there might be five or ten minutes to go, the more you control your breathing and body language at that stage your subconscious mind doesn't actually know it's the last play of the game. Because your subconscious mind isn't looking at the clock, it has no concept of time.
"The only tools it has is, 'What's my breathing like? What's my body language like? What are my thoughts like?' The more we can control that, it doesn't actually matter if it's the first five minutes or the last ten minutes.
You often hear athletes reference getting into the 'flow state', whether it's a golf tournament, marathon or GAA match. In 2017, Dublin footballer Paul Flynn divulged his mental routine to The42, one he rolls out for every championship game.
Flow is usually described as the art of not thinking – what's commonly referred to as mindfulness.
It centres around the connection between the mind and body. By quietening thoughts – or stopping the chatter in your mind – athletes can get out of their own way and just let the body perform. Let it flow.
With average attention spans dropping due to the prevalence of smartphones in society, it can be more difficult for modern players to achieve a state of flow. Hussey advises his athletes to practice regular meditation which helps strengthen their ability to concentrate.
"People think flow state is a state, flow state is actually nothing," says Hussey. "It's pure consciousness. That's why I'm not actually thinking I'm just free. In order to get that I need to take away everything that's stopping me.
"So you take away distraction. A lot of us nowadays are not trained in distraction control. I walk around and I see people constantly distracted by phones, emails, multitasking.
"Very few people have the ability to be present. So what we need to do is redevelop and restrengthen our concentration muscle which is the ability to be in the moment.
"If you go and jump into the sea, in that first 15 or 20 seconds there's nothing to distract you because something has captured your thoughts and your emotions. It's a multisensory feeling.
"You're using the senses to bring in that flow state. Flow state is simply the absence of distraction. But in order to be able to achieve that on a big day you have to practice anti-distraction regularly.
"And that is around turning your phone off, it's around meditation, visualisation. Your brain's neuroplasticity means your brain can build new neurological pathways all the time. If you're willing to practice repetitions of mindfulness, repetitions of visualisation, you're building that concentration muscle.
"Concentration is flow state and just being in the moment. I'm not actually thinking about anything. Most people think then that there's a process for getting into flow state, there's not.
Another interesting aspect of sports psychology is the relationship between ego and greatness. There's a school of thought that some form of ego is necessary to drive athletes to the top of their sport, but Hussey disagrees.
To explain his point, he uses the example of sports stars who thank God in the aftermath of their biggest victories. There's often a collective-eye rolling at Katie Taylor's tendency to reference her faith following her wins in the boxing ring.
But there's something bigger at play when athletes display their heavenly gratitude. Strong faith indicates, according to Hussey, an absence of ego which can help alleviate pressure and bring out peak performance.
"Ego is a sense of separateness," he says. "It's where I think I control everything and that puts massive pressure on people. We have to develop an understanding of connection. We're connected to something bigger.
"Ego is where we develop a sense of separateness. I am me and I determine my life and I am responsible for everything in my life. What a horrendous way to live. When you look at the great athletes and that idea of faith, ego is edging God out.
"You look at some of the athletes who have a profound faith whether it's a profound faith in God or a profound faith in their team, or a profound faith in the universe.
"It takes a huge amount of pressure off people. Ego, people who are very egocentric, are people that are very individualistic and they seem to lack faith.
"That's why they're so anxious. The less spiritual faith we have in the world, no wonder we have a world full of anxieties. Because what do you have faith in? If you don't believe in God and you don't believe in the universe, do you even believe in yourself?
The conversation moves on to the role of performance coaches in inter-county set-ups.
A number of high-profile additions have been made to hurling backroom teams in recent months including Kieran Donaghy in Galway, Dessie Farrell with Dublin and Dougie Howlett in Cork.
From Hussey's experience, performance coaches work with individuals and help remove distractions. They can range from stress at an upcoming exam to dealing with a gambling addiction.
Hussey, Roz Purcell, Philly McMahon and Lee Tracey are all involved in the WellGood programme.
"Because every county has strength and conditioning coaches, football coaches, analysts. But none of those do anything for the humanity of the guy in front of them.
"For me that was always my role, to help bring a sense of focus and calmness but take the distraction out of the dressing room. To take the distraction out of the mind of the player so he can be committed and present. When he's training, he's training.
"That sense of presence that's developed in his everyday life becomes his secret weapon on the pitch, he's totally present.
"It's amazing with county players now, the one thing they'll all say is they're so busy. They're running and racing all the time. And it's no wonder when they go out on the pitch they can't be present and they're making mistakes.

While it may be true that nature has been kind to the Champagne region, it is also true that man, with his know-how, boldness, and above all persistence, has managed to get the very best out of this unique terroir. It took him three hundred years, in which he faced the toughest of tests, to give the planet this symbol of celebration and shared enjoyment.
The history of the House of Mumm covers a century and a half of passion, dynamism and the pursuit of excellence. It is this tradition that has given rise to the renown and worldwide appreciation of Mumm and the famous Cordon Rouge. The Mumm brothers, Jacobus, Gottlieb and Philipp, who were from a rich family of German wine merchants and who also owned vineyards in the Rhine valley, arrived in Reims in 1827. Along with their business partner Friedrich Giesler, they set up P.A. Mumm et Cie, the initials standing for the forenames of their father, Peter Arnold Mumm.
Most of it is located in the seven most renowned Grands Crus of the champagne growing region, Ay, Bouzy, Ambonnay, Verzy, Verzenay, Avize and Cramant, which are classified on average at 98% in the quality scale. A loyal partnership with local winegrowers has extended this production area. These vineyards ensure that Mumm's cellarmaster has a broad range of supplies and a palette of the highest quality.
Richness and subtleties of the Mumm vineyards traditions and know-how built up over generations, a constant awareness of quality - the spirit of the Maison Mumm, expressed with refinement and generosity in the range of Mumm champagnes.
The right to the champagne appellation has to be earned; and just to be considered for this privilege means meeting very rigorous criteria. These cover every step, from the treatment of the vines to the birth of the bubbles in the bottles. At each stage there is stringent legislation to be followed.
Pruning takes place in winter through to the end of March. The purpose of pruning is to ensure better ripeness of the grapes and to improve the quality of the wine. Then, between 15 March and 1st May, the vine shoots are trained along rows of wire. So as to ensure perfect protection of the grapes, harvesting machines are not authorised in Champagne. The grapes are picked exclusively by hand, parcel by parcel. For three weeks in September Mumm needs almost 1,000 harvesters. 4 000 kg of grapes give 2,550 litres of juice. One vine plant makes an average of one bottle of champagne.
While the terroir determines the quality of the wine, the process of blending the different crus decides the personality of each champagne house's production. In January the cellar-master creates the blend using a selection of over 100 different crus: this rich, complex blend gives the champagne its intensity and character.
Mumm invests constantly in research to ensure continual improvement in the quality of its champagnes and to provide its vineyards with the most modern techniques while preserving the authentic character of the resulting wines.

Justin Sherman Published 6:50 a.m. ET April 13, 2019
A new bilateral trade deal between the US and China – which President Trump says may come in the next month - must address intellectual property theft that unfairly hurts American competitiveness.
And the deal must be substantive and not just cosmetic.
Several months ago, the Trump administration proposed sweeping export controls on artificial intelligence. These sought to broadly limit the diffusion of American companies' AI capabilities to Chinese counterparts. More recently, the administration has voiced cybersecurity concerns with 5G systems built (or to be built) by Chinese telecommunications company Huawei, citing concerns about deliberate security vulnerabilities that could be used for spying. There are also concerns that the Chinese government could compel Huawei to hand over information or even turn off others' 5G networks in a war-like scenario.
In both of these cases, the administration has pursued broad and sweeping policies to place strong limits on American "AI exports" or convince allies and partners to outright ban Huawei from building or providing technology for 5G telecommunications networks. Talk has even arisen of restricting the travel of Chinese scientists to America. But these policies are misplaced and dangerous.

The development of technologies like AI in the United States depends heavily on international cooperation. Limiting these relationships under the misplaced belief of an 'AI arms race' or some kind of zero-sum tech competition would actually hurt American tech development. That's why the current administration should selectively and carefully address those practices and relationships that are a risk to American competitiveness.
That brings us to Chinese intellectual property theft.
Recent estimates put the cost to the American economy of Chinese cyber-intrusions at anywhere between $225 billion and $600 billion a year.
In 2015, President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping struck a deal to curb Chinese intellectual property theft. Although the practice has recurred, the pact appears to have worked, briefly. The Obama administration used tools like indictments of Chinese nation-state hackers to pressure Beijing into an agreement. It's time for those goals to play a key role in the American policy agenda.
As the U.S. and China—their civil governments, militaries, companies, and entities in between—increasingly compete over emerging technologies like 5G telecommunications, artificial intelligence, and quantum science, IP theft will prove even more valuable for Chinese entities looking to get ahead. This is both a technological and broader economic matter, and the U.S. must curb this practice.
Naming-and-shaming should be at the top of the options list. Related, administration officials "should move past indictment to targeted sanctions on companies, universities, researchers, and individuals caught using cyberattacks to steal U.S. intellectual property," in the words of a Council on Foreign Relations report. A former intelligence community expert on the issue has suggested international action is also pivotal: the U.S. must work closely with allies on cybersecurity threat sharing and on investigation and attribution of intellectual property theft.

In any agreement on curbing Chinese IP theft, careful wording is key. The Obama-Xi agreement prohibited the cybertheft of intellectual property for commercial business advantage, but intentionally allowed the countries to hack companies to gather intelligence – or, put more bluntly, to spy on each other.
This is tricky ground since state-owned companies in China could still, theoretically, hack American firms and steal their IP while leaving ambiguity as to whether the goals were based on commercial competitiveness or national security.This is one of the core challenges for the administration as it engages with Chinese officials on a new trade deal.
Sweeping policies that view U.S.-China tech competition in zero-sum terms are once again not the solution. Likewise, those policies that view all tech development in the U.S. and China as competitive rather than collaborative are also harmful. The Trump administration must hammer on these details, addressing structural tech issues like IP theft and market access barriers, rather than settling for a cosmetic deal with the Chinese government.

Plaintiffs in this case are loan officers for U.S. Bank ("USB") who claim they were misclassified as exempt employees under the outside salesperson exemption. After certifying a class of 260 plaintiffs, the trial court devised a plan to determine the extent of USB's liability to all class members by extrapolating from a random sample of 21 plaintiffs. Based on testimony from the small sample group, the trial court found the entire class had been misclassified and ultimately rendered a verdict of approximately $15 million (an average recovery of over $57,000 per employee). The California Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeal reversing the trial court's judgment and holding that the trial plan's reliance on a representative sampling to determine liability denied USB its due process right to litigate affirmative defenses. The Court concluded that "[i]f statistical methods are ultimately incompatible with the nature of the plaintiffs' claims or the defendant's defenses, resort to statistical proof may not be appropriate. Procedural innovation must conform to the substantive rights of the parties." See also Hall v. Rite Aid Corp., 226 Cal. App. 4th 278 (2014) (suitable seating class action was improperly decertified where order was based on an assessment of the merits of plaintiffs' theory rather than whether the theory was amenable to class treatment).


20/6/5 with 2 blocks and a steal.
Shot 57% from the field, shot 2/3 from the three and made both of his FT attempts.
If Ingram can consistently play like this then theres nothing to complain about for a 21 year old.
Just makes me believe even more that you don't bench him less then 10 games into the season because you have a guy that can score points while playing worse defense then 34 year old Carmelo Anthony. Tough night for bench BI crew.
BI's best game of the year, I love when he shoots the 3 with no hesitation The passing was beautiful,defense total game was great. This is the BI we need.
I agree, the problem is people forget BI is just 21. So we probably wont get this BI every single night. That will take time. Are we willing to wait for him to grow?
He's a better player and the team is better when he shoots 3s. I don't know why he's so reluctant to do it. Let it fly, BI.
Wait, you wanted BI traded out earlier yesterday. Now it's Zo?
This is the pace/control I'd like to see BI. Instead of seeing a smaller guy and getting tunnel vision to ISO or fall into the long mid-range trap, he played smartly and had some nice passing.
Had some defensive lapses, but his length was bothersome all night on Jimmy.
His struggles were exaggerated. When you look at it from the perspective of how he typically starts the season and improves throughout the year, he's been great. One thing I'm wondering is based on the analytics, wasn't he never supposed to be this good of a defender? I vaguely remember some data comparing him to Kawhi and others by age/experience and he was way behind.
I'm not sure that we'll see the assist stats pick up that much with so many ball handlers to compete with on this team, but, at the least, we need to see those rebounding numbers go up to above 6 a game. If he picks up his rebounding and scoring a bit (and his TS% to above 55%), while maintaining the rest of his stats (especially his blocks and steals), I'll be happy.
As always that depends on what the alternative is.
He needs to play like last night every night. No more of that hes just 21y/o excuse. Its his 3rd year. We used the number 2 pick on him. Its make or break time.
It's all psychological IMO. A lot of these young cats want to score 30-40, but it ends up backfiring because they force the issue. I remember Phil Jackson employed George Mumford, the mindfulness guru, for this very reason. He would tell players that the best way to score 50-60 is to not want to score 50-60. In other words, stay in the moment and let the game come to you. That's when the magic happens. Easier said than done, however. Young players often learn this the hard way. Will be a learning curve for BI to adjust to Lebron.
Last year, he was too passive. I remember many of us said he was invisible in the game. This year, he is too aggressive on scoring, takes too many contested shots , and act like he is too eager to show his offensive talent.
If you're trading for a player, it's usually based on need.
The uncertainty of what Ingram will become is part of what leads to the inconsistency. Forget money, Ingram will be asking for that much in a handful of years. IF they find a way to get a quality player AND trade for Beal, it may be the best option.
LBJ is not an easy guy to adjust to. Then you add in ball dominant Rondo plus a gunner in Kuz and even Hart.
So I can sympathize with BI who is trying to get his, but the better he understands how to get his in the flow of the group the better his outcome will be.
I feel like the team consciously wants BI to gain confidence and come into his own. They seem to look for him early and often and they give him the ISO green light. That's when it all goes wrong. When he lets the game come to him, he is brilliant.
Is BI one of the first guys to leak out on defense (by design)?
If so, I doubt his rebounding numbers go up.
