Gianpaolo Paterlini is a critically acclaimed sommelier who is partner and wine director at 1760 and wine director for Acquerello in San Francisco.
Champagne is perhaps the most recognizable but misunderstood wine in the world. To start, it is a sparkling wine, typically made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and/or Pinot Meunier grapes grown in the Champagne region of northeastern France. The biggest difference between Champagne and still wine is the bubbles, which are achieved by a second fermentation that occurs in the individual bottles. This is a laborious process, but the texture and finesse of the bubbles immediately set Champagne apart from prosecco. Spanish cava and many American sparkling wines are made just like Champagne, but the depth and complexity derived from the diverse soils of the Champagne region has yet to be replicated outside of France. Distinguishing Champagne from still wine and other sparkling wines is the easy part, though. Breaking down the differences within Champagne is a far greater challenge.
Champagne can be easily separated into two categories: "Big House" (NM, or Négociant-Manipulant) and "Grower" (RM, or Récoltant-Manipulant) Champagnes. You can determine which you're drinking by reading the fine print on the bottom of the front label. Some négociants own vineyards, but the majority of the grapes they use to make Champagne are purchased from many small growers. This enables them to blend a variety of grapes from many different villages and vintages. The goal is to create a brand that has a recognizable taste. The result is often a very consistent multivintage blend. The négociant houses are largely responsible for the region's fame, but small growers are creating the most exciting wines in Champagne today.
Growers only harvest grapes from vineyards they own. Because most growers are very small, their vineyards are usually located in only one or two villages. These wines are often comprised of only one varietal that usually comes from one single harvest. They rarely have enough raw material to make the kinds of blends that have brought NM Champagnes fame. Rather than showcasing all of Champagne's characteristics in one wine, being knowledgeable about the individual terroirs of Champagne can help you learn what to expect from each grower. At their best, grower Champagnes are a beautiful expression of place and time.
The heart of Champagne can be divided into three growing regions centered around Reims and Epernay. Reims lends its name to the Montagne de Reims, a mountain whose slopes face north, east, and south. The soil is deep, with a higher percentage of clay. Pinot Noir grows very well here, as the clay helps to pronounce the varietals power and concentration. I love the wines of Jean Lallement, located just south of Reims in the village of Verzenay. The north-facing vineyards are planted with roughly 80 percent Pinot Noir and 20 percent Chardonnay, and the finished wines show the powerful, broad texture Pinot Noir can achieve in this area. These are Champagnes that can be paired with richer fare because their concentration has no problem standing up to juicy, fatty meats. Another great grower is Paul Bara. Bara's Champagnes are also Pinot Noir–based, but because Bouzy is south-facing, the fruit is more ripe and makes some of the best rosé in all of Champagne.
At the southern end of the Montagne de Reims is the town of Epernay, which lies on the banks of the Marne River. The Vallée de la Marne is an east-west-flowing waterway, and the shallow and sandy vineyards on the riverbanks are perfect for expressing Pinot Meunier's fresh and fruity personality. Meunier has often been viewed as the third wheel in Champagne. The Grand Cru villages are only allowed to grow Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, so in terms of prestige, Meunier is a second-class citizen. This standing is enhanced by the NMs, who focus so much on branding and image. The growers are helping to give Pinot Meunier the respect it deserves. Laherte Frères includes the varietal in most of its blends; however, it's two of the top bottlings (both from a single vintage) that really exemplify the capabilities of Meunier. The producer makes a single-vineyard Meunier from vines planted between 1947 and 1964 called Les Vignes d'Auterfois. Anyone thinking Meunier is fruity and simple need only taste this wine. My favorite of the portfolio is a Rosé de Saignee of Meunier from the Les Beaudiers vineyard. This drinks almost like a red with bubbles, perfectly expressing the fruity personality of the grape while showing its serious side at the same time.
Stretching south from Epernay is the Côte de Blancs, which is a long, narrow, east-facing slope known for its white soils made up of chalk and limestone. Chardonnay is a relatively transparent variety that conveys a clean minerality and mouthwatering acidity. For a leaner, crisper style, I always reach for Pierre Péters, whose NV Cuvée de Réserve is blended from multiple villages in the Côte de Blancs. This wine demonstrates the sleek, racy side of Chardonnay in this area. Agrapart is another of my favorites. It is located in the village of Avize, and many of its wines are vinified in wood, displaying Chardonnay's power. Although rich and concentrated, Agrapart's wines are never heavy, and their acidity and minerality always provide an exciting tension.
Basically, this style means you like Chardonnay, probably from the Cote de Blancs, where the soil is mostly chalk and limestone. This wine captures the style beautifully: Pierre Peters Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut Cuvee de Reserve NV.
To truly appreciate and enjoy the nuance and complexity of Champagne, you should always drink from a wineglass instead of antiquated flutes. We use Spiegelau's 11.5-ounce Vino Grande at 1760 and Zalto's white-wine glass at Acquerello. Flutes are great for maintaining Champagne's bubbles, but a wise man once said, "If your Champagne is flat, you're probably not drinking quickly enough." Other than that, flutes aren't good for much. They are tall and narrow, thus the wine has no room to breathe. When you stick your nose in all you experience is effervescence and alcohol, and when you take a sip the wine simply shoots across your mouth in a very linear texture. Drinking from a white-wine glass gives the Champagne enough room for the aromas to reveal themselves. The way the wine hits your mouth from a rounded glass encourages it to spread across your mouth, allowing you to appreciate the round, creamy texture the Champenois worked so hard to create.

The Condo as Legal Entity Foundations & Fundamentals
By W.B. King 2015 June Law & Legislation
In South Africa, it's called a "sectional title." In Quebec, it's a copropriété divise or "divided co-property." In Italy, they call it "condominio," derived from Latin. Regardless of location, a condominium, commonly referred to as "condo," is generally defined as a form of housing and other "real property" identified as a parcel of real estate that is individually owned among a collective.
In the Chicagoland area, no two condominiums look the same. Out in the suburbs, townhome and HOA communities offer a quiet oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Closer to downtown, low-rise condo buildings in residential neighborhoods provide a middle ground, a more intimate sense of community along with access to the culture and action of the Windy City. Then, there's the height of convenience and luxury of the glass high-rise condos.
Chicago has seen its population continue to dip over the last ten years, but the allure of urban living is catching on, and larger condominiums are cropping up through new mega-developments and apartment-to-condo transitions.
Now, more and more, Chicago condo owners are living in associations with hundreds of units. Whether you're a three-unit building, or a 1,200-unit building, the basic rules and laws are the same. The Illinois Condominium Property Act (ICPA) applies to everyone equally, but boards of large buildings have unique challenges, and the experience as a unit owner can vary tremendously between an unassuming small neighborhood building and a downtown high-rise full of amenities.
As a unit owner or board member of a large building, you may enjoy certain advantages, thanks to simple realities like economy of scale. With hundreds of fellow neighbors chipping in, it's much more financially viable to have a pool or spa on floor 12. Though, there are additional difficulties inherent in managing a behemoth of a building that a smaller building doesn't have to deal with as well. Regardless, size doesn't matter under the eyes of the law. "A corporation is a corporation, whether it's a single-person corporation, or a larger one, or a non-profit corporation, they're all governed under the same statutes, all the same laws apply; if you're not a condo but you're a homeowners association, those laws apply. If you're a common interest community, they have a different act. The foundation is all the same," says Chicago-based attorney Sima Kirsch of the Law Office of Sima L. Kirsch, P.C.

Memphis Day 1 – There's no crying in baseball
"Everyone has the fire, but the champions know when to ignite the spark" – Amit Ray
Today was set to be the longest drive day we have on tour. We were certain to need a massive amount of sleep after last night's effort, we had to be up at 6 to get the bus to Memphis. Hungover and tired we jumped on the coach. A long drive with zero sleep was destined to be unenjoyable.
We were moving into our 8th state today for our first stop – Arkansas. We stopped at a town called Texarkana and took a group photo at a place that you can stand in Texas and Arkansas at the same time. It was pretty unexciting and everyone really just wanted to go back to sleep.
A few hours later our next stop was at Little Rock, Arkansas. We stopped at the Little Rock central high school. At this site, during the period of segregation, 9 African American students were picked to attend an all white school. The governor highly opposed this and had the state guard stand at the door to prevent them from entering. The students stood strong to fight for the civil rights of black people. It's a really beautiful story for these 9 teenagers who were 15-16 years old to be protesting against bigotry and hate.
We stopped somewhere else that was not interesting and had Whataburger. It was alright, we are trying to eat at all the different fast food stores that we can't get in Australia. Whataburger is above Taco Bell, but that's it.
Finally after 10 long and painful hours, we reached our 9th state and home for the next 2 nights – Memphis, Tennessee.
We literally had like 20 minutes to check into our hotel and get ready before we headed to the baseball game. Ronnie was so keen for this as I have been a baseball player his whole life and enjoys it thoroughly. It is a sport that he learnt from his dad and grew up with so it will always have a place in my heart. Anyway, a baseball game is just one of them things you have to do in the USA. Tonight we were seeing a minor league game between the Memphis Redbirds and the Omaha Stormchasers at Autozone Park in Memphis. Naturally, we were rooting for the Redbirds!
We bought Redbirds merchandise and a hotdog, then we were ready to enjoy. The rain stopped that from happening. It has been raining for the last 3 days on tour. The game was put on rain delay which means that they would wait until it subsided and then the game would begin which it eventually did.
As we had a large group (56 including tour manager Braden and our driver Alex) in a stadium that was not nearly full and had about 1000 people there, we can make a lot of noise. We decided to pick a player on the Redbirds and he would be our boy. Then every time he does something we would just go crazy for him and lose our shit. Our guy was Nick Martini because of his awesome last name. This was so awesome. We thrived for Martini! He was a designated hitter (DH) so we only got him at bat but it was so awesome. Martini fed off our enthusiasm with two doubles and a single at his first 3 at bat. He also got home a few times, a solid game.
Everyone was so confused and no doubt Martini would have been as well. Just so good. The Redbirds won 6-1. It is always a better experience when the team you're rooting for wins. Martini gave us a hat tip and wave at the end of the game.
There was a huge fireworks spectacular at the field after the game which was honestly the best fireworks show we have ever seen.
After the game everybody was going to Beale street to party, we weren't keen and neither was another girl on our tour who we had barely met, Elise. The three of us decided to head back early and get a decent sleep. We were going to catch an Uber but in Memphis they have these horse and carts everywhere that are all lit up with fairy lights. We caught that. It was a really nice stroll to chat with Elise an take the horse back to the hotel.
It was a really long day an we were exhausted. We slept immediately upon returning to the hotel.
Fort Worth Day 2 – Honky Tonk Man.
Memphis day 2 – Ode to the king
One thought on "Memphis Day 1 – There's no crying in baseball"
Fuck yeah a baseball game in the USA i'm soo jealous keep the blogs going I like living the states through your eyes mate sound like your busy but seeing some awesome stuff

Q: Black hole image We all have seen the official release of the image of the black hole.
scientists took the image of a supermassive black hole at the center of M87,  which is very supermassive but 55 M light year away.
why they don't take the image of the black hole at some nearby galaxy's black hole. There is obviously Andromeda.
In the first place, the question arises why the don't choose a stellar black hole and why black hole at the center of galaxy despite that galactic center might obstruct the visible light due to more and more matter.
Dosen't near by black hole would have gave a better picture?

A: Because not all black holes are located in galaxies that face us head-on. It's not that easy to take a picture of a black hole when it's behind lightyears of stars, dust etc. M87 happened to be facing us head-on, which is why we could take a picture of it. I'm not sure how it was for Saggitarius A* but it must have been something similar.

A: They chose M87 because it was the black hole that should have had the largest angular size as viewed from the Earth. It was also a very massive black hole and the long characteristic timescale for variations in the accretion around it mean that many images, taken over several days, could be co-added to produce a clearer final result.
Details:
The linear size of the expected "black hole shadow" is a small multiple of its Schwarzschild radius, which in turn is proportional to its mass. The angular size in radians is then found by dividing this by the distance to the black hole.
Given a telescope with a fixed angular resolution, you get the best image for an object with the largest angular size. When you compare $r_s/d$ for the various candidate black holes, you find that the one in M87 gives the largest value - it is much further away than Andromeda, but much more massive. The black hole shadow in Andromeda is predicted to be about half the angular size of the one in M87.
The only black hole with comparable angular size is the one at the centre of the Milky Way - much less massive, but much closer. An image of this black hole has been published since your question was asked. This image is not as good as the one for M87 because the image is less "stable". The timescale for changes in the accretion environment around a black hole is of order $r_s/c$. This is days for the black hole in M87, but minutes for the black hole in the Milky Way. The longer timescale in M87 makes it easier to co-add images taken over several days. For the Milky Way black hole, special techniques had to be developed to pick out the persistent features from a rapidly varying set of images.
The nearest known stellar black holes are thousands of light years away but a billion times less massive than the M87 black hole. Their angular sizes would be ten thousand times smaller, so they would not be resolved by the EHT. Their images would also be varying on timescales of milli-seconds, which means there is no possibility of producing a stable image.

The following information will cover successful strategies used by brands which outperform their category peers. This article is filled with specific, and actionable, details that you can share internally today to effect greater sells tomorrow.
A joint survey by McKinsey, Nielsen, and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), of fifty brand manufacturers revealed the DNA of winners by finding significant differentiators across various dimensions, the most interesting being Strategic Collaboration. For category leaders, Strategic Collaboration efforts netted an 11% increase in sales!
Odds are, you are not the leader. According to the survey, while 95% of manufacturers felt they were doing a good job at collaboration, only 20% of efforts were producing ANY results at all. That should be a sobering fact; let's read on.
Cast a big net, keep the best fish.
On average, category leaders are more likely to ask retail partners to collaborate, typically inviting 10 or more partners. The result is that, with limited resources, they can select the absolute best partners to collaborate with, those which are large in size ($80B), strong in growth (2.2%), and, for focus categories, retailers which show strong growth (5%) and represent a significant percent of CPG sales (14%).
Collaborate for success, not failure.
Winners view collaboration as a strategic opportunity to build a preferred relationship with retailers where they can increase their influence on merchandising and marketing initiatives. As such, they tend to collaborate on 90% of their total category sales. The opposite of this viewpoint is that collaboration is simply a way to manage performance issues. The latter viewpoint would be like taking your car to a mechanic when the engine is making noise only to learn you were supposed to replace the oil every 5,000 miles.
To ensure that everyone is benefiting, at the beginning of each initiative, category leaders and retailers align on the goals of the initiative, shared KPIs, and shared incentives. While typically retailers share store sales, loyalty-card data, and shopper research, winners go a step further and share brand performance, competitor performance, and price elasticity.
For collaboration to be effective, winners build and deploy a dedicated cross-functional team that contains experts from brand marketing, category management, IT, supply chain, and product development. The resulting programs are less likely to have unforeseen setbacks and more likely to meet the changing demands of their customer base.
What is the one piece of information from above that will benefit your organization?
Who in your organization can benefit the most from this information?

Happy DNA Day!
Though I am a week late in expressing this sentiment, I feel I must acknowledge this rather interesting of events. As it stands, this past April 22nd was the sixty-first anniversary of the molecular structure of DNA being revealed to the world. What began as a publication in the magazine Nature has now become emblematic of the programming language of life, and our understanding of DNA has grown by leaps and bounds over the past six decades.
To commemorate such an important landmark in the history of humanity, a look back at some of the more recent developments in the field of genetic research would seem to be in order. For example, it was on April 22nd of this year that a rather interesting study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The lead on this study was none other than Svante Pääbo – the world's foremost expert in Neanderthal genetics.
Based on the genomes of three neanderthals that were found in disparate locations in Eurasia, Pääbo and his colleagues have concluded that the genetic diversity in Neanderthals is significantly less when compared to present-day Homo sapiens. It also appears as if the Neanderthal populations were relatively isolated and tiny, so gene flow was extremely limited for these groups. In short, our homonid cousins didn't get around and interbreed quite as much as we've done, which may shed some light on their disappearance.
On the very same day, an article was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B that proposed that skin cancer from the sun's damaging UV rays was actually a driving force in the national selection for dark skin in early humans. In the article, Mel Greaves delivers a compelling argument that the deadliness of skin cancer in young albino children in Africa and Central America demonstrates just how vital it was for early humans to develop dark skin.
And on April 25th, National Geographic and Family Tree DNA teamed up to announce the release of a brand new version of the human Y-DNA tree. This new tree of Y chromosome mutations has over 1,200 branches — almost double the number of branches that the Genographic Project was displaying before. With this much refinement, it's now even easier to track the historical migrations of your distant ancestors.
To celebrate this monumental roll-out, Family Tree DNA offered a 20% discount on the 37-marker Y-DNA test and all individual Y-DNA SNP (single-nucleotide polymorphism) tests, an offer which sadly expired on April 27th. However, interested parties can still have this cutting-edge anthropological genetic test performed for $200. And it's something to keep in mind for next year certainly. What better way to celebrate DNA day than to have a full genetic profile of yourself made?
And let's not forget, 2012 was also the year that the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) Consortium – an international collaboration of research groups funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) – released the world's most complete report on the human genome to date. Unlike the Human Genome Project, which released the first catalog of human DNA back in 2003, ENCODE was not only able to catalog the human genome's various parts, but also what those components actually do.
Among the initiative's many findings was that so-called "junk DNA" – outlier DNA sequences that do not encode for protein sequences – are not junk at all, and are in fact responsible for such things as gene regulation, disease onset, and even human height. As I've said before, these findings will go a long way towards developing gene therapy, biotechnology that seeks to create artificial DNA and self-assembling structures, and even cloning.
Yes, it's an exciting time for the field of DNA research, and not just because of the many doors its likely to open. Beyond medical and bioresearch, it helps us to understand of ourselves as a species, our collective origins, and may perhaps help us to see just how interconnected we all truly are. For centuries now, a great many evils and prejudices have been committed in the name of "racial superiority" or racial differences.
Armed with this new knowledge, we might just come to realize that this great organism known as humanity is all fruit of the same tree.

Notes To Ponder says:
Great post. I was going to post a similar story but decided all my YEC (young evangelical christian) trolls would loose their minds I went instead with the X/Y chromosome first emerging 180 million years ago 🙂
urbannight says:
My friend did that thing where you buy a kit and take a sample of your dna to send in. You get back a report on your personal dna history. She got the results back this week and has 3% Neanderthal dna, which is higher than average. The average was between 1.4 and 2.?. I want to say 2.3 but I'm not sure that is correct. The average being from one of the many articles I read last month and not something stated in her results.
My father had the same. Not sure about his Neanderthal ancestry, but I know we've got some that goes pretty far into east Eurasia, which we believe confirms our "Black Irish" theory about having Iroquois ancestry. After all, it was the people of east Eurasia/Siberia that migrated to North America some 15,000 years ago, right?
I don't know, when I hear the term 'Black Irish' I usually hear it referencing the black-haired, blue-eyed strain of the Irish rather than the more common red or red/blonde, green-eyed types. Although I have known a few people who had a parent tell them they were black Irish to try to hide the fact they were actually part Cherokee.
Well that's the idea behind the term. Originally, it referred to the Irish who were descended from those who intermarried with the Spanish who landed on the south shores after the Spanish Armada was defeated. But in the context of Southern Ontario, it referred to the Irish immigrants who intermarried with the local Iroquois population. Their descendents often chose to hide this fact by pretending to be Black Irish in the other sense.
Didn't they disprove the Spanish origin? There were to many darker Irish that predated the Spanish Armada. The strain had been around much longer.
And sometimes, some Native American would also pass as Hispanic, because there are some areas that the stigma against Native Americans was worse than the stigma against Hispanics. I did a college paper on the Native Americans 'passing' in literature in my Native American lit class one year.
I couldn't tell you for sure, but I do imagine it was just a popular myth, designed to explain genetic variance amongst a people, and hence easily disproven. After all, there's no such thing as genetic uniformity and in the past, people tended to assume that every nation was its own "racial" group with its own intrinsic characteristics. Example, the notion of Aryanism – seriously, how stupid was that?
And that sounds like an interesting paper. Maybe some day you'll let me read it? 🙂

FleishmanHillard and Fishburn to merge UK operations to form FleishmanHillard Fishburn
November 02, 2015 by John Harrington
Omnicom PR agencies FleishmanHillard and Fishburn have confirmed plans to merge their UK operations, creating a new entity called FleishmanHillard Fishburn with more than 200 employees and an annual fee income likely to be between £25m and £30m.
FleishmanHillard's Jim Donaldson and Fishburn's Ali Gee: Heading the newly merged operation
PRWeek reported in July that the two agencies were to share offices, fuelling rumours of an imminent merger, although these were denied at the time.
In a statement released today, the agencies said they anticipated the merger would be finalised before the end of the year, with Fishburn's employees due to move into Omnicom's Bankside premises in the next two months. FleishmanHillard arrived in the new offices in the summer.
The new name is set to be used from the first week in January.
Jim Donaldson, currently MD of FleishmanHillard's UK operations, will become chief executive of the new agency, with Fishburn agency head Ali Gee made deputy CEO.
Gee told PRWeek it was "conceivable that there may be a few redundancies" although "no decisions on this have been made yet". A new integration team formed from the leadership of both agencies will work on the structure of FleishmanHillard Fishburn over the coming days, she added.
The agencies declined to say how many of the 200-plus employees would come from FleishmanHillard and how many from Fishburn, and what the combined UK fee income would be. However, they said the merger would put them in the top 10 of UK PR agencies.
Estimates published in PRWeek's Top 150 PR Consultancies report published in May said Fleishman had a UK fee income of around £17.5m and 175 PR employees, although this included around 50 people employed at its Bristol-based content marketing agency Specialist, which will continue to report to Donaldson. Fishburn was estimated to have a UK fee income of £12m with 110 PR staff.
Gee said informal discussions about a link-up had taken place over several years. She said: "Towards the back half of this year, certainly since autumn, we've begun speaking of that more formally and the decision was one that was driven by both Jim and I because we felt FleishmanHillard and Fishburn have very complementary skills sets.
"Specifically, Fleishman is the largest global PR network and that is something we just don't have [at Fishburn]. We wanted to be able to offer global capability to our clients. Equally, Fishburn is very strong in the UK market so that was something that was very appealing to Jim and his leadership team."
The statement said: "The merger will provide Fishburn's clients with access to a world class international network while also enhancing FleishmanHillard's brand marketing, corporate and public affairs practices in London. Fishburn will also be adding its market leading corporate reporting offer to the mix."
Gee said there was "not the degree of overlap that you might expect" with the two agencies' clients, adding: "We don't think that will be a problem." FleishmanHillard's major clients include SAP, Tata Consulting Services, Danone Nutricia, Starwood Hotels and Philips, while Fishburn represents Shell, EE, Virgin Trains, Gatwick Airport, AB Sugar, Lendlease and G4S.
The integration will also see Fishburn's "fledgling" office in New York merged with FleishmanHillard's US business.
Donaldson denied that the move was reflective of a general move towards integration across Omnicom: "This isn't an Omnicom thing, this is a Fishburn and a FleishmanHillard thing that grew out of talks we were having together."
Donaldson said: "In a rapidly changing and highly competitive market like the UK, this combination of skills and practices will provide clients with an industry-leading team. The synergies between our two agencies are obvious - we bring our fabulous global network to Fishburn and they bring a great track record and an excellent team to enhance our offer in London. This is a really exciting day for all of us and I can't wait to get started."
Gee said: "Our agencies have a great heritage, fantastic clients and some of the best people in the communications business. Importantly, we share the same culture and values, too. Together, we will be able to offer an even more comprehensive service and deeper expertise to our existing and future clients."

Several newspaper editors walked out of the Presidential Media Awards ceremony as they were not given appropriate seats by the organizers.
Speaking to Asian Mirror, a newspaper editor said he was asked to sit in the balcony by the organizers.
"Usually, newspaper editors and media heads are given prominent seats in any media awards ceremony. When we went there, we come to the realization that the organizers were reluctant to give newspaper editors their due place. So we walked out," he added.
He also added that strong concerns have been raised on some of the choices made by the panel of judges who selected award winners.
"Serious questions have already been raised over some awards presented to the English media. Some elections are extremely poor and it appears that the panel of judges had no understanding of what they were doing."
The award ceremony was organized by the President's Office and the Media Ministry. Northern Province Governor Suren Raghavan, a close ally of President Maithripala Sirisena, was also among the speakers who addressed the event.
Meanwhile, the Free Media Movement (FMM) also decided to boycott the award ceremony on the grounds that the current government made little progress on pursuing action against attacks on journalists.

'Anxiety' and 'Stress' are small words. In truth, however, they are very heavy mental issues to handle. The strongest of minds give up when they are confronted by pressure that is beyond their capacity to handle. At times we can bear the worst of happenings but during other times, it becomes more than difficult to even think about them. Each one has different bearing capacities and each one looks at similar problems in different perspectives. Just a change in thought process can lead issues into a completely different direction.
And that is the real technique for dealing with the stress monster. If you know yourself better, you can handle all your feelings.
Take a time-out and pamper yourself. Practice yoga, listen to music, meditate, get a massage, or learn relaxation techniques. You can't just keep thinking about the problem all the time and figure out a solution. Just leave it for some time. Stepping back from the problem helps clear your head.
Eat well-balanced meals. Do not skip any meals. Do keep healthy, energy-boosting snacks on hand. Always remember that not eating or eating too much does not solve any problems.
Stimulating your mind is not a very good idea when you are under mental pressure. Avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can aggravate anxiety and trigger panic attacks. Juices and more fluid intake will throw off toxins which will make you feel lighter.
Sleeping helps in rejuvenating the body and the mind both. Get enough sleep. Relax yourself completely. When stressed, your body needs additional sleep and rest. When you feed yourself with relaxing gesture, you definitely feel peace within you.
Health maintenance should be our first priority in any case. This includes physical and mental health both. Exercise daily to help you feel good and maintain your health.
Claustrophobic feeling is common in anxious people. Don't fall prey to it. Manage the feeling with simple tips like taking deep breaths. Inhaling and exhaling slowly.
Don't be a slave to the rat race and the social competition. Do your best. Instead of aiming for perfection, which isn't possible, be proud of however close you get and celebrate. Don't try to copy others or imitate people's success. Feel satisfied and live at peace.
Some things will always be beyond our understanding and capacities. Accept that you cannot control everything. Put your stress in perspective. Talk positively to yourself and ask valid questions.
It is the best medicine as rightly said. Welcome humor. A good laugh goes a long way. Learn to enjoy conversations. Smiles and laughs can be best psychological tools.
Maintain a positive attitude. Make an effort to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. What you think becomes your language, what you speak becomes your action and what you act becomes your destiny. Choose what you think.
Help them solve their issues. You will end up finding solutions to many of your own problems.
Some things affect you more than the others. It's important to observe yourself. Learn what triggers your anxiety. It could be work, family, school, or something else you can identify? Make a feelings diary and note down when you're feeling stressed or anxious, and look for a common pattern.
We miss out on one all important fact, that is the beauty of our life. Understanding the value of life is one of the biggest virtues one can possess. Every problem has a solution, have the courage to find it.
Anxiety and stress are not the disease; over thinking, negativity, low self esteem and lack of confidence are the real killers. Don't let these killers make your life difficult. Deal with them in the best way.
A Multi-Faceted Person: A Psychologist, Counsellor, Corporate Trainer, Co Cognitive Therapist (CBT) and Wellness Consultant, among many, Dr. Swapna feels very strongly about her subject of emotional intelligence saying that it is connected with every person no matter which profession they belong to, if one wants to sustain in this world and live peacefully, successfully and harmoniously, the knowledge of this is essential.
How many of you like to make friends on Facebook, or follow people on Instagram or make strong connects on Linkedin. The reason we do all these networking is for our benefit to have lasting friendship, to be a trendsetter and to get better career prospects. Surprisingly our brain does the same by creating neural networks that help us increase our awareness and our knowledge base. Eg: When I say apple, what all can you recollect. I will recollect the colour Red, a Doctor, Iphone, Kashmir and Switzerland. I am able to associate the word apple with 5 different things because that is my knowledge base and that's the neural connection my brain has already established for the word apple.
Our Brain's neural networking works in similar fashion as the social networking we do in our social life.
When we spend more time with someone the social networking that we create with that person is also longer and may at times last a life time, very similar to the neural networking, more we associate our brain to a specific thing stronger is the relation between us and the object. Eg: My strong social connect with my childhood friends and the neural connections in my brain between me and my friend.
In our social life when we meet a person we not only know that person, but all those people who are associated with that person. This helps us to make our social connect stronger. Similarly when we create an association between us and an object, we are able to relate or associate that object to many other things thus creating stronger neural network. Eg: My strong social connect with my childhood friends make me associate to her other friends as well, similarly in our brain I am creating neural association for my friend and her friends.
Social life is all about the chain of people we know, neural network too is about the chain of neural connections that is build over time.
As kids our social circle is limited and as we grow older our social circle goes on increasing. Similarly our brain's neural connection as a kid is weak and often breakable too but as adults it gets stronger. Eg: As a kid I had only few friends but now as an adult I have friends some of whom I know since childhood.
Though we as humans are social animals, we are also selfish. What if I stop meeting a person after few years, slowly the social connect between us would reduce and at one point may be in our old age we may not even remember this person. Neural network too works the same way, when we stop creating associations we lose the connecting neurons sooner or later.
Like it's not easy to build social bonds it's not easy either to build neural bonds. But once the bond is built it's for the life time. Eg: the social and neural bond between a mother and her daughter.
So for better social life, network more and for better neural life, associate more!

Its by no means fast, but it sounds pretty average for the 185 with slight mods.
You can compare with times posted on this form.
thanks a lot.. that was a really helpful link. i'm pretty sure i can get a better time because i'm still a noob on the track. I know you, i seen you on Youtube and Cardomain. You are from TN, i'm from Starkville, Ms. just a few hours away from Memphis.
Memphis is still another 6 hours from me. Your still close enough to come to the next dragon meet. I am hoping to make some much better videos before the year is over.
i still have a little bit of bodywork to do... i got a little bit of body damage to fix and going to repaint black all the way around. but i like the metallic gray and gunmetal route you took, absolutely perfect. i may go one day, but not next year... i'll wait after i finish college and get a real job.
Half a second improvement is good! Just for comparison, my stockish (intake/exhaust) '93 N/A MR2 ran a 9.5 also in the 1/8th.
lost to a 300 SRT8. my best time was a 8.874... his was in the 8.7 range.
*how does this car handle such high amounts of boost without fuel cut?
what kind of times do you think i can get from these upgrades? @ what recommended boost?
I went from 8.9 @ 79mph to 8.3 @ 82mph from changing the stock intercooler and intake to a front mount intercooler and 3" intake. The boost stayed at 12psi for both runs.
increasing efficiency really does help i see... right now i have just a air to air top mount and a k and n box drop in air filter... what kind of intake kit do you have?
I just made one myself.
This is the original 3" I made.
I then made a 4" intake later on.
can i still run AFM with those kind of intakes? do you still have the 3in one?

(Reuters) - Billionaire Michael Bloomberg said he was likely to sell his financial data and news company Bloomberg LP if he runs for president, Business Insider reported, citing an interview he gave to a local radio station.
Bloomberg said he would either sell the company, or put it in a blind trust, but that at his age, 76, it makes more sense to sell it, according to the report.
"I think at my age, if selling it is possible, I would do that," Bloomberg reportedly said in the interview with Radio Iowa.
Bloomberg LP declined to comment.

The U.S. Military rolled out initiatives, inked contracts and collaborated with Boston Dynamics a while back to begin the long road to the creation of the modern robots that Boston Dynamics has in their stable. Originally, they were looking for a robotic pack mule of sorts, able to carry soldiers' gear for them in a battlefield environment. The original Big Dog design from Boston Dynamics came up to bat after a two-year development cycle on a $32 million contract, but there were some issues. Although it was able to carry loads across rough terrain, follow soldiers autonomously and take verbal and visual commands, it was far too loud and didn't stand up terribly well to gunfire.
Refinements over time eventually led to Big Dog being redesigned into the Legged Squad Support System, or LS3. Faster, tougher and just as autonomous, it was also quieter. Unfortunately, it was still far from quiet enough. It was generally described as being about as loud as a sitting lawnmower, which would have spelled disaster in real operations. After tests in the Rim of the Pacific military exercise, Warfighting Lab spokesman Kyle Olson spoke out about the bot. "As Marines were using it, there was the challenge of seeing the potential possibility because of the limitations of the robot itself... They took it as it was: a loud robot that's going to give away their position."Olson said. The robot would also be difficult to integrate into typical patrol and battle formations, with the added challenge of repairing it if it broke down on the battlefield.
Boston Dynamics followed up by rolling out the smaller Spot unit, which was far quieter due to its use of an electric engine. It was, however, far less autonomous, needing a human operator. Additionally, it could not bear the 400 pound payload that the LS3 was designed for; at most, the little beast could carry 40 pounds. It was described as being a good fit for remote reconnaissance and not much else. At this point, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, decided to put the bots on the back burner. The military said they had learned a lot from this project and, with the right interest from higher up and development of new tech, the project may eventually see the light of day again.

The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 2, Lagos, Mr. Joseph Mbu, has said that there is no big deal in the number of people policemen under his command can kill in self-defence.
He said since policemen were also human beings, they should be ready to take revenge on any violent group(s) that might attack them or other innocent citizens.
Mbu spoke with some journalists in Olorunsogo, Ogun State, during the inauguration of the Olorunsogo II Power Station by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The journalists had approached the AIG, who led policemen to provide security for the President at the event, to clarify the controversial statement credited to him that 20 civilians would be hacked down for every policeman killed.
"If one of my men is killed, I shall kill 20 of them, but don't shoot first. If they shoot you, shoot back in self-defence. Anybody who fires you, fire him back in self-defence," Mbu had been quoted in the media to have told his men at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, during a recent visit.
Mbu on Friday said the media account was mischievous and contrary to what he said in Abeokuta.
He also said that he contemplated arresting the journalists who wrote the reports to show proof that he indeed said what was reported.
Curiously, however, Mbu restated the media account he had tried to debunk.
He said, "I still stand by what I said. And what I said is very clear: that if any violent group attacks my policemen, my policemen should attack them violently.
"If any violent group attacks a law-abiding citizen in a bid to cause injury or cause harm, the police should repel and save that law-abiding citizen because we have the powers to do so.
"If hoodlums or touts decide to be lawless; carrying knives, carrying illegal firearms and shooting at my policemen, if they shoot at my policemen and they are a hundred or 200, my policemen will not be looking at them. They will reply back in self-defence.

Niwot's Kelsi Singer is a planetary star
Rayna M Tedford/WUSTL Photos
Niwotian Kelsi Singer is the recipient of the 2019 Harold C. Urey prize recognizing her work in impact cratering and in the geology and geophysics of icy worlds.
Niwotian Kelsi Singer is making international news as the 2019 Harold C. Urey Prize winner. The Urey Prize is awarded by the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences to early-career scientists, of any nationality, to recognize and encourage exceptional accomplishments in planetary research. The winner must be either under age 37 or have earned a doctorate degree within the past six years.
Singer, 35, was nominated for the honor by a group of scientists working with her at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), including associate vice-president of SwRI's Space Science and Engineering Division and the principal investigator of the New Horizons mission, Alan Stern, also a Niwot resident.
"Kelsi was nominated because of her exceptional scientific talents, work ethic, and productivity," Stern said.
Singer's nomination recognized in particular her work in impact cratering and in the geology and geophysics of icy worlds. The prize committee said Singer's work is "meticulous, rigorous, and insightful. In the best tradition of scientific brilliance, she examines data with an open mind, considers multiple theories, follows those theories to their logical conclusions, quantifies her uncertainties and applies healthy skepticism towards her results."
Singer received the good news by phone, "I'm still a little bit in shock. I was mostly just really happy and very honored."
Singer grew up in Denver and attended the University of Colorado, Boulder, earning a double bachelor's degree in astronomy and astrology. She went on to earn a Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis, MO.
As she was finishing up her doctorate work, two years before New Horizons was due to arrive at Pluto, she had the opportunity to meet Stern. As luck would have it, he was looking for several post-doctorate students to join the team at SwRI's Boulder offices. Her graduate school study of icy surfaces on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn was the perfect fit for New Horizon's exploration of Pluto.
She happily returned to Colorado, and after first living in Boulder, moved to Niwot three years ago.
Singer said, "I really like the small town feel of Niwot, the downtown, and Cottonwood shopping area. It's not too far from Boulder and was just right for me."
Exploring the solar system was of interest to Singer from a young age. "I didn't always know that I would keep learning about planets, but when I went to CU as an undergrad, they had this great program where you could come about a month before your freshman school year started and you could do research with someone. I did astronomy research, and I just kept doing it."
The interdisciplinary aspects of studying planets are what appeal to Singer, studying a mix of astronomy and geology. She's always enjoyed astrobiology, the possibility of habitable places outside of earth.
In her capacity as a senior research scientist she's involved with analyzing data, helping to plan the New Horizons' mission, including what observations to take, management responsibilities such as budgets, and working toward extended mission status for New Horizons. New Horizons' data is still coming in from the flyby on January 1, 2019 of the furthest object in our solar system, Ultima Thule.
Being on the cutting edge of planetary research is thrilling for Singer. "I will fully admit that I did not expect this. Being on these spacecraft missions is really an honor because you get to see some of these pictures of places in our solar system for the first time." Exploring Pluto has resulted in potential findings that are one of a kind, such as cryo-volcanos, an icy volcano versus rocky volcanoes.
Singer and Stern are submitting a proposal to NASA to once again explore where no one else has. The mission's name is under wraps, but it involves going to mysterious types of objects called centaurs, which contain characteristics of both comets and asteroids. Singer would be the deputy principal investigator on the mission.
Stern said, "I expect Kelsi to continue increasing her scientific impact and her role in the exploration of our solar system. Who knows how much her impact will be felt in the 2020s, '30s, and '40s? Even the sky isn't the limit."
Singer will accept the Urey Prize in Geneva, Switzerland this September during the joint 51st meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences and 14th European Planetary Science Congress.
