Q: Discord.js command timeout I have a command where it asks a question and gives different responses based on the answer, and that part works, but the command doest end, meaning that if you reply to a new instance of the command, the first instance and the new instance will reply. I tried different timeout functions but nothing worked.
here's the code:
module.exports = {
name: 'test',
description: "test comand",
execute(message, args, Discord) {
    message.channel.send("Do you want to test this command?\n `Yes`, `No` or `Mayhaps`")
    console.log(message.author.id)
    const collector = new Discord.MessageCollector(message.channel, m => m.author.id === member, { time: 10000 });
    collector.on('collect', message => {
        if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "YES") {
            message.channel.send("Let's Go! It worked!");
    } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "NO") {
            message.channel.send( "Task failed successfully.");
     } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "MAYHAPS") {
            message.channel.send("ERROR: IT WORKED ANYWAY");
        }
})
}

}

A: I think the problem is that you are not stopping the collector, try:
collector.stop();

after all the conditions.
Also, you need to check that the message sent is from a user and not from the bot, since you are not awaiting the first message to send before starting the collector.
message.channel.send("Do you want to test this command?\n `Yes`, `No` or `Mayhaps`")

The colletor is collecting that message, which is from the bot, so you are stopping the collector with the bot message, not giving a chance to reply.
Final result:
collector.on("collect", async (message) => {
    if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "YES") {
        await message.channel.send("Let's Go! It worked!");
    } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "NO") {
        await message.channel.send("Task failed successfully.");
    } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "MAYHAPS") {
        await message.channel.send("ERROR: IT WORKED ANYWAY");
    }
    if (!message.author.bot) collector.stop();
});

In case you don't want to check if the message is from a bot, you can await the first message like this:
module.exports = {
    name: 'test',
    description: "test comand",
    async execute(message, args, Discord) {
        await message.channel.send("Do you want to test this command?\n `Yes`, `No` or `Mayhaps`")
        console.log(message.author.id)
        const collector = new Discord.MessageCollector(message.channel, m => m.author.id === member, { time: 10000 });
        collector.on('collect', message => {
            if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "YES") {
                message.channel.send("Let's Go! It worked!");
            } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "NO") {
                message.channel.send( "Task failed successfully.");
            } else if (message.content.toUpperCase() == "MAYHAPS") {
                message.channel.send("ERROR: IT WORKED ANYWAY");
            }
        })
    }
}

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Tennessee's newest prison has stopped taking inmates after just four months of full operation. Records obtained by The Associated Press suggest why.
A company spokesman on Tuesday blamed "growing pains." Both said the decision was made jointly.
"We're holding off on sending more prisoners until CCA has an opportunity to increase its recruiting efforts and staffing," Tennessee Department of Correction Assistant Commissioner Tony Parker told the AP.
The memo - obtained by the AP through an open records request for public documents about the taxpayer-funded facility - says the guards were not in control of the housing units, were not counting inmates correctly and were putting inmates in solitary confinement for no documented reason.
"The Lieutenants, Captains and Unit Managers we observed on video and in the units this morning are not adequate. They do not have control of the housing units and it appears inmates are free to mingle around the unit at will," the memorandum states.
Regarding solitary confinement, Howerton writes, "We still have inmates being place in segregation with ... no explanation as to why they were ever placed in segregation."
Another report, sent by a state corrections monitor to Howerton, details a Feb. 26 stabbing. The officer responsible for the housing unit where it happened "decides to walk downstairs and exit his unit leaving it unattended and leaving the unit door propped open." He returns four minutes later and "immediately sees blood on the floor throughout the entire unit."
"Whenever you are opening a new facility, there are issues," Parker said. "There are new staff and processes. It takes a while to get everything solidified."
Nashville-based CCA is the nation's largest private prison provider, operating 84 facilities nationwide housing about 70,000 inmates. Supporters say prison privatization is cheap and efficient. Critics say private corporations are not as accountable to the public as traditional state-run prisons.
Parker and CCA spokesman Jonathan Burns both said Trousdale is fully staffed, despite the need to increase recruiting and staffing. Parker referred specific questions about staffing to CCA, but the private company refused to provide any records about staffing levels at the prison, despite being subject to Tennessee's public records law, just like a state agency. CCA said doing so would compromise security.

The Aegean cat is a naturally occurring landrace of domestic cat originating from the Cyclades of Greece. Development of the Aegean cat as a formal breed began in the early 1990s by breeders in the fledgling Greek cat fancy, but the variety has yet to be recognized by any major fancier and breeder organization. It is considered to be the only Indigenous (ecology) Greek variety of cat.
The Aegean cat, as its name suggests originates from the Cyclades in the Aegean Sea, where they occur as a natural landrace. Aegeans are considered one of the oldest domesticated cat breeds. They are common as feral cats in Greece, where they are found amongst fishing ports begging for food. In Greece, Aegean cats are considered a national treasure.

Spurred on by the growth being seen throughout Matagorda County, David Cottrell Investments, Inc. has begun construction on East Bay Plaza, a new shopping center that will be located at 6500 7th Street across from Schulman's Amusement center.
"I like to work with small towns in Texas," Cottrell said. "I was interested in the industry growth here in Bay City and I liked what I saw in Schulman's Center. I have always liked to place my centers near entertainment centers such as that one.
Cottrell is hoping to have East Bay Plaza up and running by the Fall 2019, more specifically by September or October of this year.
When Cottrell paid an early visit to Bay City, he fell in love with the city and what it had to offer. So much that when Cottrell was visiting Bay City, he noticed a center that was for sale. Cottrell purchased the Verizon Building.
Cottrell credited the work of Jessica Russell, executive director with the Bay City Community Development Corporation with helping Cottrell find a piece of land that worked for his center.
Russell said the BCCDC is excited with the announcement of the East Bay Plaza.
At that point, Cottrell decided the area was a good location to build a center and lease it out for new businesses to locate to the Bay City area.
Cottrell purchased the two plus acre property last year and then began working with an architect to design the center and broke ground on the property Wednesday, April 3. The design being used for the East Bay Plaza was designed especially for this site alone.
"I like to look at the terrain and fit a design that fits that market," Cottrell said.
With the plaza just beginning construction, Cottrell said more than half of the building has already been leased out for businesses including a Wild West BBQ restaurant, a fitness center, a coffee shop, a day spa and Cricket Wireless.
"We like to recruit tenants that compliment each other in our centers," Cottrell said. "One will compliment the other but they don't compete with each other. We look for deficiencies in a market and try to fill them. You have a great BBQ restaurant in this market but you only have one so they need some competition.
Cottrell said he is thrilled to break ground on the East Bay Plaza and what it will have to offer the Bay City community.
Cottrell said the East Bay Plaza might be just the first of many projects he gets on the ground in Matagorda County.

Lamar Jackson suffered a knee injury during the Baltimore Ravens' win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday, and it is one that is going to cause him to miss some time.
Jackson has been diagnosed with a sprained PCL, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That type of injury typically sidelines players for 1-3 weeks, which means Jackson is likely to miss at least Baltimore's Week 14 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ravens' QB Lamar Jackson suffered a sprained PCL during Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, per league sources. PCL injuries often sideline players 1-to-3 weeks and Ravens' HC John Harbaugh already has said Jackson is "less likely" to play Sunday vs. the Steelers. pic.twitter.com/4ra4KDuUdQ
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 6, 2022
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told reporters on Monday that Jackson's injury is not considered season-ending.
Tyler Huntley took over for the Ravens after Jackson exited on Sunday and led them to a 10-9 victory. Baltimore reunited with a veteran quarterback this week, which is another sign that they do not expect to have Jackson available against Pittsburgh.
The Ravens improved to 8-4 with their win over Denver. They are tied with the Cincinnati Bengals atop the AFC North.

Best Of 10 Fireplaces For Any Style. Which One Is Yours?
Fireplaces are generally appreciated for their ability to create a warm and cozy atmosphere in the room. A rustic fireplace can do that better than most of the other styles. The materials used along with the design contribute to an overall very inviting and appealing look.
The style you choose for your fireplace must also be in sync with the rest of the home's interior décor. For example, a rustic or traditional fireplace wouldn't look exactly good in a modern or contemporary living room unless you opt for a mix of styles and influences. Otherwise, it's best to opt for a minimalist fireplace.
A wood burning stove is a special type of fireplace that you usually see in old movies and don't actually get to see in private homes these days. This type of fireplace is something you can integrate into your kitchen to give it a cozy, Victorian feel.
This is not exactly a whole new type of fireplace but rather a detail that sets the tone for the design and for the rest of the décor. A mosaic façade is an interesting and elegant way of making your fireplace stand out. You can opt for this detail when you want to change the look of your fireplace or from the beginning as a way to ensure an elegant and charming atmosphere in the room.
The fireplace is an element that makes a room feel warm, cozy and welcoming, regardless of the style and design. Wood is a material that can pretty much do the same thing. So when you combine these two elements all those characteristics enhance. Wooden fireplace walls are quite common and a very beautiful décor feature.
A very popular and famous image is that of a fireplace with stone all around it. It's a classical and very beautiful image that mostly suits traditional homes but, with a little creativity, can also be adapted to other types of interior décor.
There's also a certain type of fireplaces that is symbolic for most country-style homes. It has a rather simple design with classical features and it makes the room feel both elegant and cozy. This is a style that can be adapted to other types of homes as well.
When you think of fireplaces in general, several images usually come in mind. Among those there's usually that of a cozy mountain cabin with a large, beautiful fireplace. This type of fireplaces usually requires plenty of space and is best suited for traditional homes.
Most contemporary fireplaces have designs that no longer focus on creating a cozy and warm atmosphere in the room. They become focal points in the décor and their designs are minimalist. These fireplaces were basically completely reinvented and they have become a whole new type of feature.
The homes that have high ceilings offer the possibility to opt for a floating fireplace instead of the classical type. This basically means that the fireplace structure will be attached to the roof or ceiling and it will become a suspended, floating object.

Newsletter: fine dining guide March 2014
Posted on: March 15th, 2014	by Simon Carter & Daniel Darwood
Much to report after a busy 2013 and first quarter of 2014. The site maintained a focus on restaurant and hotel reviews supplemented with feature articles, interviews and broad guide coverage.
The iTunes podcast series continues – as always the links are to the written transcripts, you may find the podcast series on iTunes by typing "Restaurant Dining (UK)" into the main iTunes store search box. fine-dining-guide continues to have a YouTube Channel for which the site commissioned and uploaded a professional piece on Diego Masciaga of The Waterside Inn preparing the special dish of Canard a la Presse.
The site has conducted eight interviews since the last newsletter spanning three chefs, four guide editors (sort of) and a hotel general manager.
With twelve years (no less) experience at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, Sue Williams enjoyed her first Hotel General Manager role at Bath Priory. After further work with the Brownsword family, Sue is now well ensconced after 18 months at Cliveden House.
Having worked with Nico Ladenis, Guy Savoy and the Galvin Borthers, André Garrett now finds his name above the door at Cliveden House, one of the most iconic country house hotels in Britain.
Arnaud Bignon is producing some extraordinary food at The Greenhouse restaurant in Mayfair, London. Recently recognized with two Michelin stars for the second time in his career he spoke candidly to the site about his philosophies and influences.
Michael Ellis quietly took the international helm of the Michelin Guides from Jean-Luc Naret a couple of years ago. In what is perhaps a European web first, Michael gives an in-depth interview with fine dining guide.
Rebecca Burr has completed her third year as editor of the four Michelin Guides – Michelin Great Britain & Ireland 2014 (Red Guide), Michelin Main Cities of Europe, Michelin London Guide and Michelin Eating out in Pubs. Rebecca speaks of her observations of the industry as well as the workings of the guides.
Daniel Clifford is one of those rare breed of Michelin two star chefs who collectively exhibit the on-going passion to succeed while encouraging those around them to learn and grow. Daniel has successfully spawned three Michelin starred chefs from his kitchen at Midsummer House – a restaurant which continues to gain plaudits and recognition.
Simon Numphud has been an employee of The AA for over fifteen years. He worked his way through from junior inspector, to senior inspector, through management to head up, for the last six years, Hotel Services. Here he gives a candid interview to Simon Carter of fine-dining-guide about The AA Restaurant Guide.
The Good Food Guide was founded by Raymond Postgate in 1951; during the last 63 years there have been only seven editors. Elizabeth Carter is in her eighth year as editor and found time to speak about her insights into restaurant dining around the country.
Twitter/Facebook: Both continue to deliver good traffic to the site – @finediningguide has over 5400 followers in March 2014 and the newer facebook page 700 likes. You may go directly to the site's pages on twitter or facebook simply by clicking on the 'f' and 't' buttons in the top right corner of every page on the site. As we go to press the site is investigating Pinterest and Instagram as platforms to spread the visual word about fine food.
Restaurant/Hotel Reviews: Reviews by Daniel Darwood have included Midsummer House, Waterside Inn, The Vineyard, Brasserie Chavot, The Savoy, Alimentum and Bar Boulud. (See Reviews)
Guides: The GB Guide season took place during September 2013 (as applicable to fine-dining-guide). Relais & Chateaux elected a new president – France based Philippe Gombert stepped into the shoes of Jaume Tapies from the last quarter of 2013. This guide is well respected in the hotel community and amongst travelers in equal measure. Marketing of the association has progressively improved over the last decade with the apparent profile steadily on the rise. The 'gold standard' of Michelin Guide GB&I 2014 was eagerly anticipated with some buzz about the possibility of a new Michelin three star in GB. However two restaurants – Dinner by Heston and The Greenhouse both found promotion to two Michelin stars. L'Enclume retained the lofty 10/10 in The Good Food Guide 2014 (the Guide having been acquired by Waitrose!) following in the illustrious footsteps of Chez Nico, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay and The Fat Duck. Simon Rogan's latest plans to open at Claridges became public which could prove the big news story of 2014. Sat Bains, Jason Atherton, Gordon Ramsay and Nathan Outlaw all recorded impressive 9/10 scores, while Daniel Clifford and Michael Caines gained the maximum 5 AA Rosettes in the 2014 AA Restaurant Guide.
Opinion/News: As the economic seasons move through their cycle let us hope that in March 2014 we are entering spring in more ways than one. Without doubt, during the seven year economic winter experienced in Britain, the restaurant space bucked the trend to the extent that peoples' tastes and needs witnessed a cultural shift. The idea of eating out for a significant band of consumers went from being a rarely sought luxury to a way of life. I am not merely referring to the content of fine dining guide, where there is an accent on the top end, but across the restaurant world the make-up of the customer has changed. What do these customers want? Relaxed accessibility it would seem and pervasively so (right through to the top end). Having said this, the institutions tend to survive the fashions and fads of a shift within a cycle; in other words there will remain a market for front of house wearing ties while taking the trouble to describe dishes at tables that still have table cloths.
The 'Michelin market' will remain. While some commentators question the relevance of the inspector-led guides in the reader-led web based information age, there remains room for all in this diverse market place. While chefs still aspire to the credible career benchmarks on offer, while consumers still hold their ratings in high regard, then this market will remain. The only concession required from the inspector-led guides will be real time awards provided to the web as consumer thirst and hunger for new information in this era is near insatiable.
Google, having purchased Zagat, will be pushing to see Google+ challenge Trip Advisor for its coveted position in the reader-led guides category. When you type in a well known London Hotel or restaurant into google, for example, a picture appears of the establishment along with various details including number of reviews and review score. As Google link their products together into a cohesive offering they will seek to dominate the review market.
Until next time Happy Eating!!

May 30th-Action from Hyogo and Mie!
This coming Sunday is set to be a rather interesting, but low key, day for Asian boxing with two small shows in Japan, one in Hyogo and one in Mie.
Art Center, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan
The Hyogo show is the much more notable of the two but is, sadly, a pretty weak show overall.
The main event here will see Hiroki Tokuyama (9-3-1, 2) take on Japanese ranked Super Flyweight Shunji Nagata (12-18-2, 4), who will be risking his #20 JBC ranking. The 29 year old Tokuyama is best known for reaching the final of the 2017 All Japan Rookie of the Year final, losing to Fumiya Fuse in the final. Since then he has gone 4-2, and hasn't really looked particularly impressive since his Rookie of the Year campaign. Nagata on the other hand is a 36 year old veteran who's record is under-whelming but he is much better than the numbers suggest and he can cause upsets. Whilst neither of these two are going to reach the top of the sport, they should make for a very competitive and well matched bout.
Another ranked fighter on this card is Noboru Osato (12-8-4, 3), who is risking his JBC and WBO Asia Pacific rankings against Retsu Kosaka (10-5, 4). Osato is a "win some, lose some" fighter who manages to lose bouts he's expected to win, and then upset fighters that are regarded as better than he is, such as in 2019 when he defeated Ryo Suwa. He's a bit unpredictable, but when he's on song he is a legitimate banana skin. As for Kosaka he now needs a win after going 3-5 in his last 8, after starting his career 7-0. Interestingly Kosaka has got a very notable win, stopping Ryo Sagawa in 2017, but has gone 2-3 since then and it seemed to be more a case of Sagawa being inexperience than Kosaka being the better fighter.
The under-rated Hiroyuki Takahara (8-3, 6) will feature in an 6 round bout as he takes on Tamaki Miwa (6-6-1, 1), and looked to keep his winning run going. Takahara has won his last 4, including a massive win in August 2020 against Tom Mizokoshi, and will not be wanting that run to end here. Especially not as he's heading towards a Japanese ranking, and a potential title fight. Miwa on the other hand will be there to give a legitimate effort, but has lost his last 2 and lacks the power suspect he'd need to get Takahara's respect.
One other bout of note will see the limited Takuya Fujioka (9-10-1, 1) battle against Japanese ranked Super Bantamweight Shingo Kawamura (16-6-4, 8). The light punching Fujioka was last seen losing a competitive decision in 2019 to Juiki Tatsuyoshi and although no world beater he has shown himself to be a legit competitor who comes to win and put in a fair and honest effort every time. Kawamura on the other hand has really struggled since losing in an OPBF title fight to Satoshi Shimizu in 2018. Since that loss he has gone 0-2-3 and he desperately needs a win. Kawamura should be favoured, but it's hard to know just how badly damaged his confidence is having failed to win any of his last 6.
Messe Mie, Tsu, Mie, Japan
The show in Mie features a total of 6 bouts, with 5 of those being 4 rounders and one being an 8 rounder.
The most notable of the 4 rounders will see Ryumei Nakamura (3-1-1, 1) take on the amazingly named Turtle Nishida (6-10-2, 1). Nakamura is a 20 year old hopeful who sadly hasn't fought since late 2019 and hopefully his activity does pick up when Japan manages to get back on top of the Covid19 situation. He looked promising early in his career, but there is certainly a lot of work left for him to do. As for Nishida he's looking to bounce back from successive stoppage losses, but really is a very limited 33 year old who shouldn't pose too much of a test to Nakamura.
The main event of this show will be an a very good looking 8 rounder between Shuma Sugawara (6-2, 4) and Arashi Iimi (7-3, 7). For Sugawara this will be his first bout in over 2 years, following a 2019 loss to Roli Gasca, and despite his lay off the 25 year old was once highly regarded as a prospect and fingers crossed we can see him show some of that potential here. Iimi on the other hand impressed in 2017, losing in the All Japan Rookie of the Year final, but has struggled since then and is 3-2 since then. Iimi is a big puncher, and is dangerous, but is also vulnerable and desperately needs a big performance after losing his last two inside the distance.
For those wanting to watch this card live, it will be streamed live on Youtube thanks to sakana 1976 who continues to be a massive asset for Japanese boxing and one of the biggest helps for fans wanting see what Japanese boxing in regions like Aichi and Mie is like.
August 9th - Trio of Japanese shows and a Korean one
This coming Sunday is one of the busiest days we've seen this year for boxing in Asia, with numerous cards taking place, at varying levels.
City Sogo Gym, Hirakata, Osaka, Japan
The best of the shows will come from Osaka, thanks to Green Tsuda who put on a Japanese Youth title bout and a contest featuring a former national champion.
The main event of this show will see former Japanese Welterweight champion Ryota Yada (19-6, 16) take on Takuya Fujii (7-5, 3) in an 8 rounder. On paper this looks like an easy win for Yada, but he's coming into this bout following 2 stoppage losses in his last 3 bouts, including a loss last December in a sensational bout against Yuki Beppu. Fuji is no world beater but he could be the right person at the right time here.
Although it's not the main event the more interesting bout on this card will see JBA Youth Super Bantamweight champion Toshiki Shimomachi (11-1-2, 7) defending his belt against unbeaten challenger Hiroki Hanabusa (8-0-3, 3). The hope was to get this bout sorted earlier in the year but due to what's been going on in the world it was delayed. Despite the delay we're really looking looking forward to this one and expect a very, very good, hotly contested bout, though one where the champion probably has the slight edge. Our in depth previous of this bout can be read here Shimomachi takes on Hanabusa in Youth title defense!
Another bout on this card worthy of note is a contest between Jinki Maeda (4-0, 2) and Arashi Iimi (7-2, 7). The unbeaten Maeda won the Rookie of the Year last year, when he defeated Kyonosuke Kameda in the final, and he will be looking to build on that success here. Interestingly the hard hitting Iimi lost in a Rookie of the Year final back in 2017 against the previously mentioned Toshiki Shimomachi. On paper this should bhe a very, very good test for Maeda, and see what his chin is like.
This show was also supposed to feature a contest between former Japanese Super Flyweight champion Takayuki Okumoto (23-9-4, 11) and once beaten prospect Tulio Kuwabata (3-1, 2). Sadly however this bout was cancelled when the "Osakan gym cluster" was discovered, leading some suspicion to it being an issue at the Mutoh Gym, where Kuwabata trains. This meant that for health and safety a number of bouts involving fighters from a number of Osaka gyms were cancelled, including this bout.
Arena Tachikawa Tachihi , Tachikawa, Tokyo, Japan
In Tokyo we get another small card, featuring a total of 6 bouts, two of which involve a Japanese ranked fighter.
The main event of the show will see Japanese and WBO Asia Pacific ranked Minimumweight Hizuki Saso (12-6-1, 4) take on Yuni Takada (8-5-1, 3). Coming in to this Saso has won 6 of his last 7 and built a bit of moment, despite a loss last year to Rikito Shiba. On the other hand Takada has lost 3 of his last 5 and is struggling for any traction in his career, with another loss expected here.
The other ranked fighter on this show is Japanese ranked Lightweight Shinnosuke Saito (6-3, 2), who takes on Yuji Hashimoto (6-4, 4). Coming in to this Saito has the momentum, having won Rookie of the Year in 2019, but this is a step up for him and his first 6 rounder. On paper Hashimoto likely doesn't look much of a threat, but he has actually gone 6-1 in his last 7, albeit against very low level competition. Both men will be coming into this one hungry, and it could end up being a surprisingly good bout.
Aioi Hall, Kariya, Aichi, Japan
The third Japanese card comes from Kariya and is a 6 bout Central Japan Rookie of the Year show.
From the 6 bouts on this card the one that has us most interested is a bout between unbeaten youngsters Rikiya Nakamura (2-0, 2) and Aito Takabatake (3-0), who clash in a bout at 140lbs. Strangely it appears boxrec have got Takabatake listed with a loss, though we have confirmed that he did actually win his September 2018 bout against Hitoka Kitagawa. This should be a genuine highlight for the show and hopefully both men do go on to have promising careers in the years to come.
Daesan Gymnasium, Daegu, South Korea
As well as the Japanese action we're also set to get some action from Korea thanks to a KBA show in Daegu. The card is certainly nothing special and it's a very low profile effort.
Although it's a very poor card the main event of the show does have some significance, as Hyeon Oh Lee (3-4-1) and Chul Hyun Lim (5-16-2, 3) battle for a KBA ranking at Super Bantamweight. Neither man is expected to go far in the sport, Lee is a 27 year old who has won just 1 of his last 5 whilst Lim is a 39 year old who's last win came in 2010. If we're being this is a very weak main event for a very weak card. The sort of thing we expect when we think of the KBA, sadly.
April 11th-Yoshino seeks next defense
This coming Thursday fight fans in Tokyo get the chance to see a pretty significant Diamond Glove card, with a Japanese fight, a notable fighter in a supporting bout and two Japanese Youth title eliminators.
The main event will see unbeaten Japanese Lightweight champion Shuichiro Yoshino (9-0, 7) look for his fourth defense, as he takes on mandatory challenger Accel Sumiyoshi (11-4-3, 3). Yoshino has looked fantastic since winning the title in 2017, when he stopped Spicy Matsushita, and has stopped his last 3 challengers. Sumiyoshi on the other hand is getting his second shot at gold, after having challenged for he OPBF title way back in 2015. Since losing to Masayoshi Nakatani Sumiyoshi has gone 7-0-2 and put his career back on track with a solid unbeaten run, this is however a huge step up from those last 9 bouts. A full preview of this bout can be read here Yoshino defends against mandatory Sumiyoshi!
In a supporting bout former OPBF title challenger Daishi Nagata (11-2-1, 5) looks to bounce back from an October loss to Rikki Naito, as he takes on former Japanese title challenger Yusuke Tsukada (9-7, 3). Nagata is a fun guy to watch, and whilst he's no world beater he is likely to find himself in another title fight sooner rather than later. Tsukada on the other hand has been stopped in 3 of his last 4 and we wouldn't be surprised with him being stopped again here.
The really exciting part of the under-card are the two Japanese Youth title eliminators. The more exciting of the two comes at Light Flyweight, where Hizuki Saso (10-5-1, 3) will take on the unbeaten Rikito Shiba (2-0, 1) in what could be a really amazing fight, and a proper test for the unbeaten Shiba. The other eliminator will see the hard hitting Arashi Iimi (7-1, 7) take on Kenta Nomura (5-2, 2) in a Super Bantamweight eliminator.
The eliminators here will see the winner of the Super Bantamweight bout take on Toshiki Shimomachi later in the year for the vacant title, whilst the Light Flyweight winner will take on either Tsuyoshi Sato or Tetsuya Tomioka, who will have fought on April 6th after this was written.
October 21st-Two Japanese eliminators, interesting Korean card!
This coming Sunday isn't a big day in Asian boxing but there are a number of bouts of note, with two Japanese eliminators in Fukuoka and a pretty interesting card in South Korea with Koreans, and Korean based fighters, taking on Japanese visitors.
The card in Fukuoka really is lacking in terms of depth, with just 6 total bouts on the card, but the top two bouts are mouth watering Japanese title eliminators, featuring local fighters taking on opponents from Tokyo for the right to compete at the 2019 Champion Carnival.
One of those two eliminators takes place down at 105lbs and will see the once touted Takumi Sakae (19-2-1, 13) take on recent OPBF title challenger Norihito Tanaka (16-7, 9). The 25 year old Tanaka debuted in 2011 and looked on the route to success when he claimed the Rookie of the Year crown in 2013. Sadly since that early success he has faltered, losing in a Japanese title fight in 2016 to Tatsuya Fukuhara, drawing with Lito Dante and losing to Ryoki Hirai. Sakae has won his last 5, but those wins have come against some very limited foes. The 33 year old Tanaka ran up a 14-5 (7) record before walking away from the sport in 2011. He returned to the ring in 2017 and has had mixed success, with a loss last time out to OPBF champion Tsubasa Koura. Given the need for both men to win, and look good, this could be very entertaining. A preview of this bout is available here Sakae and Tanaka face off in Japanese eliminator!
The other title eliminator bout bout will see heavy handed Yuki Beppu (18-0-1, 18) clash with Teiken hopeful Yuki Nagano (14-2, 11) in a Welterweight eliminator. Beppu, like Sakae, is a Rookie of the Year winner but at 27 years old it certainly feels like time for his to step up his competition, following 4 wins over terrible foes. The one time he really stepped, since his Rookie triumph, saw him fight to a draw with Charles Bellamy, and he seemed to bide his time whilst waiting for an opportunity like this. At 29 years old Nagano is slight older but also more tested. He comes into this bout on a 12 fight winning run, including a Rookie of the Year triumph in 2015 and a recent win over Riku Nagahama. Notably this will be Nagano's first bout outside of the Korakuen Hall, and that may be a problem with the crowd behind Beppu, but he'll be confident of continuing his good form. This has the potential to be very explosive. Our preview of this bout can be read here - Heavy handed Beppu and Nagano clash in eliminator!
There will be a second Japanese card, albeit a significantly less significant one.
The main event here will see Ryosei Hamaguchi (6-3, 2) taking on Chiharu Takasuka (5-4-1, 3), in what is a pretty low key bout if we're being honest, especially given the action in Fukuoka.
Daejeon, South Korea
In South Korea fans get a very interesting card, featuring several good looking international bouts and two BoxingM title bouts.
One of those Korean title bouts will see Doo Hyup Kim (10-6-1, 5) take on Gun Woo Gang (4-2-2, 1) for the Korean Light Middleweight title. This will be Kim's first defense of the title, and despite having been stopped in 2 of his previous 3 he will be the man with the champions mentality. On the other hand the 21 year old Gang will be having his third title fight, having come up short in two previous Korean title bouts.
The second title fight will be at 140lbs and will see Jin Soo Kim (3-1, 1) face off with Min Ho Jung (7-1-1, 1) for the vacant title. At 22 years old Kim is the younger, less experienced man but is a promising southpaw, who made an impact on his 2015 debut by scoring a brilliant KO of Andrew Silva. Jung will enter the bout as the older man, but will be the naturally smaller fighter. This could be an entertaining match up, but this will be the first title bout for either man.
On paper the most evenly matched of the international bouts will see unbeaten fighters collide as local Min Jang (6-0-2, 2) takes on Japan's Fumiya Fuse (6-0, 1). The 18 year old Jang debuted last year and has already racked up 8 fights, but this is a big step up for him. At 20 years old Fuse is tipped as one to watch on the Japanese scene, and was the 2017 Rookie of the Year, but this will be his first bout outside of Japan. With neither man being a puncher we are expecting a distance bout, but a very interesting one.
A potentially more explosive match up will see 26 year old Korean Dong Kwan Lee (8-2-2, 4) take on heavy handed Japanese fighter Arashi Iimi (6-1, 6). Coming into this Lee's record doesn't look too interesting, but his short term for has seen him going 4-1 (4) and he hasn't seen the final bell in any of his last 5 bouts. Iimi, the runner up for the 2017 Japanese Rookie of the Year has never seen the final bell, and has scored two wins already this year. Given their recent shows we're expecting to see both men go for the KO and to go for it early!
One other bout of interest will see Korean based Mongolian Batzorig Batjargal (3-0, 2) take on Japan's Hironori Shigeta (5-1, 3). We've been impressed by Batjargal since his debut and he's looked really exciting so far, but this is a notable step up in class for him. Shigeta hasn't fought since December, but was crowned the Japanese Rookie of the Year last year at Welterweight, and he has a very good win over Rikuto Adachi. We can't help but think this could be the best bout on the card.
August 23rd-Hinata Maruta and Ban Mananquil face off in Metro Manila!
Metro Manila, Philippines
This coming Thursday our attention turns to the Philippines where we get the chance to see one of the best prospects in world boxing, a regional female title fight, a runner up in the 2017 Japanese Rookie of the Year and experienced local hopeful.
That top prospect is Hinata Maruta (7-1, 6) who is stepping back up in class for the first time since losing in an OPBF title challenger against Hidenori Otake. The talented youngster form the Morioka gym will be taking on OPBF Silver champion Ben Mananquil (16-1-2, 4). Although the bout will be a non-title fight it is a very interesting match up and we suspect the winner of it will be moved into an OPBF title fight towards the end of this year, or very early next year. The Japanese fighter, as mentioned, as only been beaten by Otake whilst the Filipino's only loss has come to Jing Xiang, with that defeat coming in China. We suspect this could be a very special bout between two young, hungry and driven fighters looking to take a huge step forward with their careers.
In a female title bout fans will see Umi Ishikawa (6-2, 4) battle against Wassana Kamdee (3-3, 2) for the vacant WBC Asian Boxing Council Female Minimumweight Title. Ishikawa has come up short at title level before, losing to Norj Gurop earlier this year, but she should have too much for Kamdee, who is 0-3 against fight a win on their record. Kamdee has faced the better opponents, including the likes of Yuko Kuroki and Hee Jung Yuh, but we'd still be surprised to see her put that experience to real use here.
Another Japanese fighter with potential on this card is the hard hitting Arashi Iimi (6-1, 6), hwho came runner up in the 2017 Rookie of the Year at Super Bantamweight. The hard hitting 22 year old will be up against limited Filipino Danny Tampipi (8-8-2, 5). Tampipi isn't terrible but as his record suggests he's nothing special either and it's hard to see anything but a win for Iimi, who we think will hit too hard for the local.
Outside of the bouts with Japanese fighters it's worth noting that Glenn Porras (31-7, 19) will be up against Renante Suacasa (7-19, 1). The 32 year old Porras is now a faded force, having lost 3 of his last 5, but should see this as a straight forward win over a man he dropped 3 times less than 2 years ago. Suacasa is a very limited opponent and should be a safe win for Porras, even at this stage of his career.
July 15th-Pacquiao and Matthysse headline in Malaysia on a brilliant day of boxing!
This coming Sunday we get one of the biggest shows of the year, possibly in fact the show of the year, as Pacquiao fever takes over Malaysia for a stacked card with 4 world title fights, and a number of notable under-card fights.
The main event will see Manny Pacquiao (59-7-2, 38) challenge WBA Welterweight champion Lucas Martin Matthysse (39-4-0-1, 36) in what is really a must win for both men. The Filipino icon, 39, hasn't fought in over a year with his last outing being a controversial decision loss to Jeff Horn in Australia. In fact we now need to go back to November 2016 to find Pacquiao's last win, which came against Jessie Vargas. At his best Pacquiao was a destructive dervish in the ring, but he is several years beyond his best. Matthysse also looks to be on the slide, and looked like a shadow of himself last time out against Teerachai Kratingdaenggym. Although a dynamite puncher, with under-rated skills, Matthysse can be out boxed, and can be made to look slow and predictable. We're not sure what to expect here, but with both men being past their prime neither can really afford a loss.
In another of the world title bouts we'll see former IBF Flyweight champion Moruti Mthalane (35-2, 24) look to reclaim that title as he faces South Korean based Pakistani Muhammad Waseem (8-0, 6). The IBF Flyweight title became when Donnie Nietes vacated it, to move up to Super Flyweight, and as a result we have a brilliant match up here. At his best Mthalane was a leading Flyweight, an aggressive but technically sound fighter with wins against the likes of Hussein Hussein, Julio Cesar Miranda, Zolani Tete, Johnriel Casime and Ricardo Nunez. Sadly though the former champion is now 35, ancient for a Flyweight. Waseem on the other hand was on the fast track to the top to begin his career, but financial issues have slowed his rise and he's spent the last year treading water to keep off ring rust. At his best Waseem is an excellent boxer, but this is easily his toughest test to date. This could be a really high class contest.
Another of the title fights could, potentially, be an historic one. The bout in question sees WBA Light Flyweight champion Carlos Canizales (20-0-1, 16) defending his belt against Chinese novice Lu Bin (1-0, 1). The Chinese 23 year old is looking to become the new record holder for the fewest fights to win a world title, doing so in 2 fights, and the confidence of Bin suggests he believes he can do it. He was a former amateur stand out and, like Vasyl Lomachenko, wanted to be fast tracked in the professional ranks. A win for Bin really would raise the bar for what is expected of true "super prospects". Canizales on the other hand is looking for his first defense, after winning the title against Reiya Konishi earlier this year. The Venezuelan puncher is a fearsome fighter who's only set back was a split decision draw with Ryoichi Taguchi, and coming into this bout he may well be the best fighter at 108lbs, though obviously has stiff competition from the likes of Ken Shiro. We suspect Canizales will be the favourite but Bin is not there to roll over and lose.
The 4th world title bout will see Filipino Jhack Tepora (21-0, 16) battle against Mexican Edivaldo Ortega (26-1-1, 12) for the WBA "interim" Featherweight title. The talented Tepora has long been tipped as one of the most promising young Filipino fighters and has picked up a number of minor titles in recent years but this is a big step up from the likes of Lusanda Komanisi, who Tepora stopped in eye opening fashion last September. The Filipino is flawed but has lights out power and will be a very dangerous fighter to go toe-to-toe with. Ortega is an all-action fighter with a come forward pressure style. He has scored notable wins over the likes of Juan Carlos Carlos Sanchez Jr, Tomas Rojas and Drian Francisco, but has never been in with someone who has power like Tepora. We're expecting to see Ortega bring the action and Tepora look for counters in what could be an absolute barn burner.
The under-card here is littered with great match ups, including a bout between unbeaten Chinese fighter Yongqiang Yang (10-0, 7) and once beaten Filipino Harmonito Dela Torre (19-1, 12), in what really could be a very special bout. Another good looking contest will see the hard hitting Filipino Jayar Inson (16-1, 11) taking on Aussie foe Terry Tzouramanis (20-3-3, 3) in what could be a very exciting contest.
Aichi, Japan
As well as the big Malaysian show there will also be a smaller, though somewhat notable, card in Aichi.
The main event of this Aichi card will see 2017 Super Featherweight Rookie of the Year Musashi Mori (6-0, 5) battling against Filipino foe Allan Vallespin (12-2, 9). The 18 year old Mori is one to watch, blessed with natural power, speed and skills he appears to be a fighter who could find himself in the title mix in 2 or 3 years, if he can continue to rack up wins. On paper this is a notable step up in class for the Japanese teenager, given that Vallespin's only losses have come to very decent fights in the form of Masaru Sueyoshi and Denys Berinchyk. This is a a really interesting bout and a very tough test for Mori.
Also on this card is the hard hitting Arashi Iimi (5-1, 5), who takes on Suntorn Panhom (2-2, 1) on Thailand. The Japanese fighter came runner up in the 2017 Rookie of the Year at Super Bantamweight and has since bounced back with a stoppage over Shuto Takase in April. This will be his first bout against a non-Japanese fighter. Panhom comes into this on the back of back-to-back losses and we're not expecting him to to handle the power of Iimi, at all.
There is also a small card in Korea courtesy of the KBA.
The headline bout here will see WBA female Super Featherweight champion Hyun Mi Choi (15-0-1, 4) defending her title against Argentinian challenger Mayra Alejandra Gomez (18-7, 4). Choi, the only current Korean world champion, will be looking to extend her reign and increase her profile with this win as she attempts to make her 6th defense of the title. The champion, a tall and rangy fighter, should be strongly favoured, but Gomez has fought at world level before and has proven to be no push over against the likes of Jackie Nava.
Also on this card will be Ji Hyun Park (22-3, 6), who will be up against a Thai foe. The Korean is a IFBA, WIBA and WIBF world champion who will be looking to add a WBF International Minimumweight title to her collection. Although she's a multi-time title winner Park was beaten last time out in a WBO world title fight by Kayoko Ebata, in what was her first defeat in over a decade. We suspect she'll be back to winning ways here.

20 COVID hotspots as London continues to have highest infection rates

The 17 areas of the UK with the worst COVID outbreaks are all in London. (Getty)
The 17 areas of the UK with the worst COVID outbreaks are all in London, new figures have revealed.
In 11 boroughs in the capital, the seven-day rolling rate of new COVID cases is higher than 2,000 per 100,000 people.
Lambeth continues to have the highest rate in the UK, with 7,773 new cases in the seven days to 25 December, the equivalent of 2,415.4 per 100,000 people.
This is down from a rate of 3,029.1 per 100,000 for the seven days to 18 December.
But the five areas with the biggest week-on-week rises are outside the capital, including Barrow-in-Furness (544.0 to 1,554.1, Copeland (439.4 to 1,325.7), Derry City & Strabane (768.3 to 1,653.1), Tameside (708.0 to 1,569.2) and West Lancashire (533.6 to 1,324.1).

Meanwhile, the NHS is setting up new Nightingale "surge hubs" at hospitals across England prepare for a potential wave of Omicron admissions.
Work on a total of eight hubs, each with a capacity of around 100 patients, is set to begin as early as this week, according to NHS England.
Further sites could also be identified to add a further 4,000 "super surge" beds.

The move comes as hospitals are using hotels, hospices and care homes to safely discharge as many people who are medically fit to leave as possible – freeing up beds for those who need them most.
A total of 10,462 people were in hospital in England with COVID-19 as of 8am on 29 December, according to figures from NHS England.
This is up 48% from a week earlier and is the highest number since 1 March.
During the second wave of coronavirus, the number peaked at 34,336 on 18 January.
NHS national medical director Professor Stephen Powis said: "The hospitalisations have now hit about 10,000 and about 70% of those are directly due to Covid.
"The daily admissions are increasing, the hospitalisations have roughly doubled in the last 10 days.
It comes as the government scrambles to secure supplies of COVID tests from around the world amid a shortage following a surge in demand.
In a letter to MPs, health secretary Sajid Javid said the supply of lateral flow tests (LFD) was being tripled in January and February from a pre-Omicron plan of 100 million to 300 million per month.

Jim Beam to Give Us The "Devil's Cut"
Posted by Bourbon Buzz in Buzz
Beam's new innovative bourbon product, Devil's Cut
Jim Beam is set to deliver a new product called Devil's Cut in May, 2011. 'Devil's Cut' is Beam's trademarked term for whiskey that is still "trapped within the wood" after dumping. In other words, the dregs. We aren't sure of the exact process Beam is using to retrieve the dregs from the wood, but it has been confirmed by Fred Noe that it some form of barrel sweating. Beam officially said this about its process: "Through a unique, proprietary process, we extract this formerly lost liquid from deep inside the barrel wood and put it back into our special Bourbon. The resulting liquid is deep in color, aroma and character with robust notes of wood and vanilla."
There is no age statement on the bottle, but Fred Noe confirmed that the base is 6 year old Jim Beam, but the flavor is supposedly very different. We have heard it tastes like Beam, but has more oak and a longer finish. Noe says, "pulling more [bourbon] out of the wood is the key to this product". It will come in at 90 proof and the retail price will be about $24 for a 750/ml bottle. We are glad to see the innovation and looking forward to something new. Let us know what you think about it if you have been fortunate enough to get a taste.

Knob Creek Introduces Its First-Ever Single Barrel Bourbon
Clermont, KY (February 16, 2011) – Nearly two decades after Booker Noe, grandson of Jim Beam and sixth-generation distiller, first introduced Knob Creek®, the distillery unveils its first-ever single barrel bourbon, Knob Creek® Single Barrel Reserve. In keeping with Knob Creek's philosophy that handcrafting superior quality bourbon is worth the effort, the new Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is naturally aged for a full 9 years and bottled at 120 proof (60% alcohol by volume).
Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is carefully hand-selected, barrel-by-barrel, to be a unique expression of Knob Creek's rich, mature flavor. Naturally aged in new, charred American Oak barrels, Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is bottled at near barrel proof to maintain its strong, rich flavors and aromas. Unlike other bourbons, which are blended together from multiple barrels to create a uniform taste, each barrel of Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve, once hand-selected, is cut with water and bottled individually in order to preserve its integrity and unique flavor profile. This process allows for variations in taste, color and aroma in each batch of bourbon.
"We pay close attention to the barrels we select for Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve as we want to ensure that we're bottling an extraordinary bourbon with a complex balance of aroma and taste," said Fred Noe, seventh-generation Beam family distiller and son of Booker Noe. "I recommend enjoying this new bourbon neat, on the rocks or cut with a bit of water in order to best appreciate its depth and fullness of flavor."
Incredibly smooth and nuanced, this new bourbon features even more of the rich wood and signature vanilla, caramel and smoky notes that bourbon lovers have come to expect from Knob Creek, the world's number one selling Super-Premium bourbon.
"Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is the latest innovation in our bourbon portfolio," said Rob Mason, U.S. director of Bourbons at Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. "We are especially thrilled to introduce our first single barrel bourbon offering, and to further strengthen our already-established credibility in the Super-Premium category."
Initial reaction from bourbon experts to the new expression has been extremely positive.
John Hansell, Publisher and Editor of Malt Advocate, wrote: "This is a stylish, big, broadshouldered bourbon with a thick, sweet foundation…peppered with spice…and dried fruit."
Kevin Gray, editor at CocktailEnthusiast.com, notes: "Knob Creek drinkers, and bourbon fans in general, would do well to secure a bottle."
Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve is available in limited quantities and retails for a suggested price of $39.99 for a 750ml bottle. For more information about Knob Creek and Knob Creek Single Barrel Reserve, go to www.knobcreek.com or visit on Facebook® at www.facebook.com/KnobCreek.

Heaven Hill Announces Fourth Annual Release of Parker's Heritage Collection
BARDSTOWN, KY–Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., the country's largest independent family-owned and operated spirits producer and marketer, announces the September release of the fourth edition of Parker's Heritage Collection, a limited annual series of rare, aged American Whiskeys that pays tribute to 6th Generation Master Distiller Parker Beam. The fourth release is a cask-strength, non-chill filtered wheated Bourbon, meaning it uses soft winter wheat instead of rye as the "small grain" to produce a less spicy, rounder Bourbon.
This year's release of Parker's Heritage Collection follows last year's "Golden Anniversary" Bourbon edition, which captured the "American Whiskey of the Year" award from Malt Advocate Magazine, in addition to being named "World's Best New Release" in Whisky Magazine's annual 2010 World Whiskey Awards. The 2009 release, a 27-year-old Bourbon, was the first American Whiskey to ever win "Best of Show, Brown Spirits" at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
The new release marks the first in the Parker's Heritage Collection to depart from the traditional Heaven Hill rye-based Bourbon mashbill. Instead of the more commonly used corn/malted barley/rye recipe, the newest edition uses corn, malted barley and Kentucky winter wheat. This recipe was first used at Heaven Hill in the spring of 1999, after the company acquired the wheated Old Fitzgerald line of Bourbons. This new bottling of Parker's Heritage Collection will mark the first release of Heaven Hill made, extra-aged wheated Bourbon. And it will delight whiskey connoisseurs because not only is it non-chill filtered, but it also is being released in two very small batch dumps at barrel proof. And like the previous three editions, it is being released in very limited quantities–only 52 barrels, kept in high storage in open rick warehouses, were dumped for this edition, yielding approximately 4,800 bottles for the United States and limited international distribution.
And in what will be welcome news in still-unsettled economic times, the fourth release, at $79.99, is priced considerably lower than previous releases, which carried an average national retail price of $150 for last year's "Golden Anniversary" bottling and $200 for the 27-year-old Bourbon released two years ago. Whiskey aficionados will also appreciate that the natural esters and fatty acids, which are by-products of whiskey distillation and aging, are not stripped away from the Bourbon in a process known as chill filtering, but are left in the whiskey to provide a fuller taste profile and richer mouthfeel.
Packaged in the same upscale 750ml bottle as the previous three editions, the Parker's Heritage Collection Wheated Bourbon is available in a three bottle case that should start hitting retail shelves during September, nationally recognized as the start of the Bourbon season.
"I am genuinely excited to introduce a nicely aged, cask-strength wheated Bourbon for this next version of my Parker's Heritage Collection," noted Heaven Hill's Parker Beam. "At this age and barrel-proof, is how a wheated Bourbon shows best…it has the caramel and smoke notes that only ten years in the top floors of our rickhouses can produce. And it has the long, smooth finish that I always look for in a Bourbon, with that softness that wheat brings to the recipe. I am very pleased that we now have wheated Bourbon that I feel has aged long enough to wear my name on the label."

Buffalo Trace Distillery Acquires E.H. Taylor Bourbon
FRANKLIN COUNTY, Ky., June 23 /PRNewswire/ — E.H. Taylor is coming back to the distillery where it all began. Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, KY, has purchased the Old Taylor Bourbon label and barrel inventory from Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc., maker of Jim Beam Bourbon.
"We are ecstatic about this transaction," said Mark Brown, president and CEO of Buffalo Trace Distillery. "Part of our family is returning and we are thrilled to welcome home a true bourbon whiskey pioneer."
Taylor, the great-nephew of President Zachary Taylor, briefly lived with his great-uncle after the death of his parents. He later moved to Kentucky where he was adopted by his uncle, Col. E.H. Taylor, Sr. Following in his uncle's footsteps, Taylor went on to be a leader in the Frankfort community. He served as mayor from 1871-1887 as well as a local state representative to the Kentucky General Assembly and a member of the State Senate.
Taylor's link to Buffalo Trace dates back to 1870 when he first purchased the distillery and took on the daunting task of modernization. He later named the distillery O.F.C. (Old Fire Copper) and continued to invest large sums of money, making it a leader in the industry.
Taylor over-extended himself financially in an effort to use the most modern equipment to make the finest bourbon whiskey available. The end result of Taylor's financial difficulties was the sale of O.F.C. to George T. Stagg. However, even with Taylor out of the picture, the new owner moved forward using his name, as it was synonymous with fine bourbon whiskey. The award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery is proud to carry on the legacy of this great pioneer.
"It's an exciting, new opportunity for us," said Harlen Wheatley, master distiller. "We are very proud of the bourbon we produce at Buffalo Trace and to be able to carry on what E.H. Taylor started more than a century ago is a real honor."
For more information about Buffalo Trace Distillery please visit www.buffalotrace.com. To learn more about the other award-winning bourbons of Buffalo Trace please go to www.greatbourbon.com.

Specialty Beam Bottles Generate Support For Military And Firefighters
DEERFIELD, Ill., May 18 (FoodBizDaily) — This summer, limited-edition bottles of Jim Beam – the world's No. 1-selling Bourbon – will help generate much-needed support for America's military, firefighters and their families. Wrapped with custom labels in support of Operation Homefront or the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund, the specialty bottles will be available starting May 25, Memorial Day.
Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. [Fortune Brands, Inc. (NYSE:FO) ] developed these specialty bottle labels to raise awareness for two non-profit organizations dedicated to the well-being of these heroes and their families. Operation Homefront provides emergency financial and morale assistance to troops, their families, and wounded warriors, while the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund assists firefighters and their families with educational, medical and equipment needs. The two Jim Beam bottles – one bearing Operation Homefront's stars and stripes logo and the other depicting a firefighter – will be available in select stores Memorial Day through the Fourth of July.
"We all benefit from what these brave men and women do every day and this is a way that people can show their appreciation while enjoying themselves at the same time," said Rory Finlay, global chief marketing officer, Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc. "We invite everyone to toast these two worthy organizations."
"Our partnership with Jim Beam is tremendous because of the Bourbon's popularity," said Amy Palmer, chief operating officer, Operation Homefront. "Dedicating a bottle to our organization gives us great visibility and allows people to show their support for the troops who risk their lives to protect our freedom."
Last year, Jim Beam donated upwards of $250,000 to Operation Homefront through corporate donations, local market events as well as support from its distributors and retailers. Jim Beam hopes to build on that momentum and raise even more money to support Operation Homefront's mission. For more information about Jim Beam's partnership with Operation Homefront, please visit http://www.jimbeam.com/operationhomefront.aspx.
"Jim Beam supports Operation Homefront and the Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund because our brands share the same commitment and values – true character, integrity and doing the right thing," said Kelly Doss, senior director of Bourbon and whiskeys, Beam Global Spirits & Wine, Inc.
Terry Farrell Firefighters Fund
After fire Chief Terry Farrell perished in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center – along with 342 of his firefighter brethren – his family established his namesake Fund that honors these modern day heroes. The organization donates firefighting equipment to underfunded fire stations as well as provides scholarships and medical services to the families of active, retired and fallen firefighters across the nation.
"By simply buying a bottle of Jim Beam, people across America can send a message of appreciation to the firefighters who keep us safe," said Brian Farrell, chairman of the Fund and brother of Terry Farrell.
Jim Beam has already raised $200,000 for the Fund since 2005, and plans to donate an additional $100,000 this year by expanding commemorative bottle sales from the East Coast to 23 states. For a list of participating states and more information about the Fund, please visit http://www.terryfarrellfund.org/.

Jim Beam Introduces Red Stag
Red Stag by Jim Beam™ is a new innovation from Jim Beam. Through a unique, artisanal infusion process, natural black cherry flavors are slowly and carefully infused into fine, four-year-old Jim Beam Bourbon. The tasting notes are distinctively fruity, without disguising the familiar, rich nose of Jim Beam Bourbon. The corn sweetness and mellow oak taste of Red Stag is accented by a hint of black cherry for smoothness and balance.
Red Stag by Jim Beam™ will launch in June 2009. The 80-proof Red Stag has a suggested retail price of $17.99, which will vary by market, and will be available in 50ml, 750ml and 1L packaging. Details of in-market activation and specific programming will be announced early next month.

Thanks, Beppie. Do you have any plans for another UK visit?
It is better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all! Life is an adventure and one must venture into the unknown to learn what living is about. I left UK at age 21 to sail a 114ft boat to Australia and learnt that life without risk is an empty life.
I followed your trip thru your father who occupies a Firetower adjacent to me and I lookout over the Snowy towards Burnt Hut Crossing. Well done!! It was not a failure just a new learning experience.
Chris! It's so good to hear from you. Thanks for all your help in the planning/logistics stage - a lot of the practical info we had was from you and other folks that Dad contacted through DELWP and so on.
I can't speak for Dan, but I'd love to get back to the Snowy in that central section - Burnt Hut Crossing, Paupong, etc. Maybe a few in/out walks along the 4WD tracks, or kayaking/rafting with a group would be great, too.
As for that bit about failure. You planned a big, badass adventure on the Snowy River and that's exactly what you had. Don't get bogged down with the semantics of planning and success. You adapted and overcame and lived in the moment. Which is exactly what any adventure worth having is all about.
Thanks Clare! There are some pretty amazing creatures and critters to be seen in Australia - especially when you're out in the bush. I've got a few more photos of lizards, birds, etc to come in future posts, so I hope you enjoy them, too.
Wow, there is nothing of a failure about this trip. Adventure is all about the seeing and doing and being, not the end goal. Rannulph Fiennes didn't achieve Everest summit (I recently went snow holing and we didn't sleep in the snow hole). The adventure is the taking part. Sounds like yours was fantastic. A great read.

Oral rinses, or mouthwashes, have a variety of purposes. Some are cosmetic in nature and offer only a fresh breath. Others are used to whiten teeth. Many others are used therapeutically, to fight gum disease, kill bacteria, control plaque and tartar, and to prevent cavities. Your doctor or dentist may also prescribe special oral rinses to deal with specific issue such as thrush or to promote healing after surgery.
The effectiveness of oral rinses is a subject of significant debate, although research shows that most have benefits. But it's important to remember that oral rinses by themselves are not a substitute for other oral hygiene. It's still important to brush and floss—in fact, these are still typically more important than using oral rinses.
And remember that most effects of oral rinses are temporary—they can mask bad breath, for example, but typically only for a few hours. If you have persistent bad breath, it may be caused by infection or other condition, and you should promptly consult your dentist or a physician.
However, when used in conjunction with proper brushing and flossing, or if prescribed by your dentist or doctor for a specific condition, oral rinses can be a very important tool for helping you have a healthy mouth and a bright smile.

The Derby D'Italia was dubbed to be a neck-and-neck race this season, whilst it hasn't worked out that way, this one is always an inspiring game.
After their summer business, Luciano Spalletti's Inter Milan were tipped to potentially challenge Massimiliano's Allegri for Serie A superiority.
Of course hindsight is 20/20, as after 14 games the Bianconeri are 11 points ahead of the Nerazzurri, with the former not having lost a game yet, maintaining their position as kings of Italian football.
Despite there likely being no Scudetto repercussions from this match, the Derby D'Italia is of course always a fiery affair due to the history and hatred that often boils over between these sides.
It's no surprise that Juventus top the table, considering they've scored the most goals and conceded the least in Serie A this season. Inter are no chumps either however, scoring the joint second most goals whilst conceding the second least.
The home side have the best home form in the entire league, winning six, drawing one and losing none, whilst the visitors have the second best away from in the league, winning four, drawing one and losing two. Two teams in such strong form make a tough task for betting sites.
This one is being dubbed as star forward against star forward, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauro Icardi facing off against each other for the first time. However, considering how impenetrable Allegri's side have been defensively this season, it could still be a tight affair – Juventus to win 2-1.
The Derby D'Italia is always a heated affair, in both emotions and often goals. There have also been at least two goals scored in 14 of Juventus' last 15 Serie A matches. Whilst the visitors' games have featured over 2.5 goals in their last four games.
This bet makes it two relatively safe bets for this match but that doesn't mean there's not great value in them. The Portuguese forward is of course in fantastic form and has always relished the big occasions, as per the match against Inter's city rivals earlier in the season.
As you can imagine, there's been a huge amount of history being these two historic giants.
Since the 1994/95 season, there's been 54 encounters between the two, with Juventus often leaving as victors.
The Bianconeri have won on 24 occasions, with their being 18 stalemates and 12 wins for Inter.
Last season saw Juventus win 3-2 in Milan, while the meeting in Turin ended in a goalless draw.
Inter's last win over Juve came in 2016, while it was back in 2012 that they claimed their last away win over the Old Lady.
Juventus lead the league in goals scored, least goals conceded, shots per game, possession per game and pass accuracy.
Inter Milan have scored the second highest amount of goals in Serie A, with 27.
Juventus' Bosnian playmaker averages the joint0most key passes per game with 3.1.


The holidays are a time for cheer, family and good tidings — even if grandpa or grandma can't make it to this year's festivities.
An MIT-based startup GeriJoy created an app that helps families keep their loved ones company when they can't be there themselves. The app offers a virtual companion, in the form of a dog, that speaks and plays with its users.
"The GeriJoy companion is the modern realization of the fabled talking dog," the company says. The talking dog not only keeps home - or hospital-bound elderly company, but also acts as a personal assistant. It offers the benefits of pet therapy without all the mess.
Among its many features, the talking dog can reassure the user, ask them how they're doing and even report back to concerned relatives. Imagine knowing just how your loved one felt on any given day, ensuring that they are alright.
GeriJoy was revered as one of the most innovative senior care companies by AARP and other leaders. A recent study in The Wall Street Journal linked loneliness with dementia and other ailments such as Alzheimers.
The GeriJoy service requires an Android device (tablet or phone) with front camera and a Wi-Fi connection. But the service comes with a steep price, about $5 per day or $990 a year. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Reform-minded 'MOST' party set to play kingmaker in Croatia
November 9, 2015 Kevin Lees	Leave a comment
Croatia's social democratic prime minister, Zoran Milanović, will now look to lead a second consecutive government. (Facebook)
Until this summer, the conservative Hrvatska demokratska zajednica (HDZ, Croatian Democratic Union), fresh off a convincing victory in the December/January presidential election, seemed assured of its victory in Croatia's parliamentary elections, enjoying a lead of more than 10% in most polls.
Then something changed.
But it wasn't that the HDZ was losing votes. Instead, leftist voters were abandoning their flirtation with a new left-wing party, Održivi razvoj Hrvatske (ORaH, Sustainable Development of Croatia), formed in October 2013 by former environmental minister Mirela Holy. At the height of its popularity in autumn 2014, ORaH was winning nearly 20% of the vote in polls, most of which came at the expense of the governing Socijaldemokratska partija Hrvatske (SDP, Social Democratic Party of Croatia).
Over the course of 2015, as ORaH's support plummeted, those voters returned to the SDP and its governing allies that comprise Hrvatska raste ('Croatia is Growing') coalition, the largest member of which, by far, is the SDP. In Sunday's election, ORaH's vote share collapsed so completely that it failed to win a single seat in Croatia's unicameral parliament, the Sabor.
That, in part, explains why the SDP did so well on November 8. Nominally, the SDP won just 56 seats, while the HDZ won 59 seats. But three of the HDZ's seats come from Croatian voters abroad, many of whom are ethnic Croats living in Bosnia and Herzegovina or elsewhere in the Balkans. Moreover, the SDP's governing coalition can informally rely on a small regional party, the Istarski demokratski sabor (IDS, Istrian Democratic Assembly), which holds three seats, as well as eight additional legislators who represent national minorities, bringing the governing SDP to a more realistic base of 67 seats (just nine shy of the majority it would need for a new term in the 151-member Sabor).
Not atypically, the Social Democratic Party performed best in the Croatian heartland and in Istria in the north and the west, while the Croatian Democratic Union did best along the Dalmatian coast stretching southward and in the far eastern Slavonia.
The HDZ (blue) triumphed in the south and in the east; the SDP (red) triumphed in the north and the west.
Ironically, it was the unexpected rise of a reform-minded centrist party, Most nezavisnih lista (Bridge of Independent Lists), that probably hurt the HDZ by drawing away reform-minded centrists. Barring the unlikely formation of a 'grand coalition' between the HDZ and the SDP, two parties with very different cultural and political traditions, it will be Most, a new party that formed only in 2012, and its 19-member caucus, that will now decide which of Croatia's two dominant parties will form the next government.
