Iran Denies Shooting Down Ukrainian Plane

Iran has denied reports that one of its missiles hit a Ukrainian passenger airplane.
The Ukraine International Airlines jet crashed earlier this week near Tehran, killing all 176 people on board.
Iranian officials called on the United States and Canada Friday to share any information they have on the crash.
The plane broke up just hours after Iran launched missiles at two air bases in neighboring Iraq. The bases housed U.S. troops. Iran launched the attacks to answer the killing of its top general in a U.S. airstrike last week.
The downed aircraft was carrying 63 Canadians. On Thursday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, "The evidence indicates that the plane was shot down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile." He noted the information came from several intelligence sources.
U.S. officials said that Iran might have mistakenly identified the Boeing 737 as a threat.
Ali Abedzadeh is head of Iran's national aviation office. He said Friday, "What we can say with certainty is that no missile hit the plane." He urged Western nations to, in his words, "come and show their findings to the world."
Western governments may not be ready to share the information because it comes from highly classified intelligence sources. However, The Associated Press, The New York Times and other media companies released videos appearing to show something hitting a plane near Tehran's main airport.
In one video from The Associated Press, someone off camera says: "The plane has caught fire...In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful. God, please help us. Call the fire department!" The comments were made in Farsi, the official language of Iran.
Rescue workers carry the body of a victim of a Ukrainian plane crash in Shahedshahr, southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran, Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020.
Recovering the black boxes
Shortly after the crash, Iran reported the recovery of the plane's flight recorders -- or black boxes.
Abedzadeh announced, "We prefer to download the black boxes in Iran. But if we see that we can't do that because the boxes are damaged, then we will seek help."
The head of the Iranian investigation team said that the process could take more than a month and that the investigation could stretch into next year.
Under United Nations aviation rules, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, or NTSB, can join the investigation because the crash involved an airplane designed and built in the U.S.
The NTSB said Thursday night that its involvement could be limited by U.S. sanctions on Iran. U.S. officials have expressed concern about sending employees to Iran because of the heightened tensions.
Iran had first said it would not let Boeing -- the plane's manufacturer -- take part in the investigation. The state-operated IRNA news agency later reported that Iran "has invited both Ukraine and the Boeing company to participate in the investigations."
In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said "the missile theory is not ruled out, but it has not been confirmed yet." The government said it wanted to search the crash site for any sign of a Russian-made missile used by Iran.
A preliminary Iranian report released Thursday noted that the plane's pilots never made a radio call for help. The report said that an emergency problem happened just minutes after the flight left Tehran.
The plane reportedly was heading to a nearby airport before it crashed.

Qatar Spat Worsens As Saudi-Led Arab States Vow New Measures
By Tsvetana Paraskova
The four Arab states that are leading the boycott against Qatar vowed on Friday to take new measures against their tiny gas-rich neighbor after Doha rejected in full the list of ultimatums.
Despite the public threats of "new measures", Qatar's Finance Minister, Ali Sharif al-Emadi, told The Times today that Qatar is too rich to worry about what Saudi Arabia thinks, and that their huge financial resources would provide the small gas-rich nation the resources necessary to weather the sanctions.
"We have sovereign wealth funds of 250 per cent of gross domestic product, we have Qatar Central Bank reserves, and we have a ministry of finance strategic reserve," al-Emadi told The Times. "Bahrain and Egypt, they are at junk bond level. If you look at Saudi Arabia, they are having genuine issues with their finances," the minister said.
In a joint statement posted on Saudi Press Agency, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates "expressed their deep surprise over the unjustified refusal by the Qatari government to the legitimate list and logical demands aimed at fighting terrorism, preventing embracing and financing it, combating extremism in all its forms and manifestations for the sake of world peace, and safeguarding Arab and international security."
On Friday, the Saudi-led coalition added that "All political, economic and legal measures and procedures shall be taken in the form deemed appropriate and timely in a manner that preserves their rights, security and stability towards a hostile Qatari government policy," without specifying what these measures might entail.
The cyber security bull run is only just starting as an increasing number of hacker attacks is creating a multi trillion Dollar opportunity with the entire security market poised to see 4,750% growth by 2020.
Two weeks ago, the four countries issued a list of 13 demands to Qatar, giving their isolated neighbor just 10 days to meet those demands, which included severing ties with Saudi archrival Iran, and closing the Al-Jazeera TV network. At the end of the 10-day deadline, the four countries that had cut ties with Qatar gave their neighbor another 48 hours to meet those demands. Qatar did not.
Mohab Mamish, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority—one of the busiest waterways in the world—said on Friday that the canal authorities cannot ban Qatari ships from passing through the canal because of international treaties. But Qatari ships will be barred from using Egyptian ports and the economic zone in the canal, the AP quoted Mamish as saying.
The U.S. Department of State said on Thursday that at the invitation of the Emir of Kuwait—which is not part of the boycotting states and is mediating between the parties—U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will travel to Kuwait on July 10 where he will meet with senior Kuwaiti officials to discuss ongoing efforts to resolve the Gulf dispute.

India set to touch 328 foreign satellite launches on Saturday
CHENNAI [Maha Media]: If all goes well with the Saturday evening rocketing of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C49) then the Indian space agency would have slung a total of 328 foreign satellites, all for a fee.
The 26-hour countdown for the Saturday rocket launch from the first launch pad will begin on Friday afternoon. The rocket with 10 satellites is expected to lift off at 3.02 p.m. on November 7 from the Sriharikota rocket port, a senior official of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) told IANS.
The nine foreign satellites are from: Lithuania (1-technology demonstrator), Luxembourg (4 maritime application satellites by Kleos Space) and the US (4-Lemur multi mission remote sensing satellites).
The rocket's primary payload is India's radar imaging satellite EOS-01, formerly RISAT-2BR2 with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) that can shoot pictures in all weather conditions.
The satellite can take pictures day and night and will be useful for surveillance, as well as civilian activities.
It all started in 1999, when India for the first time launched foreign satellites -- South Korea's Kitsat-3 weighing 107 kg and Germany's 45 kg DLR-Tubsat -- as a piggyback luggage on the country's own 1,050 kg Oceansat with the PSLV-C2 rocket.
Since then, over the next two decades, India has launched 319 foreign satellites, including one Chinese satellite -- some on a standalone basis and mostly as a piggyback on India's own satellite.
The ISRO also created a world record of launching largest number of satellites -- 104 satellites out of which 101 were foreign in a single PSLV rocket on 15.2.2017.
According to the Indian government, ISRO has earned Rs 1,245.17 crore during the last five years launching satellites from 26 countries.
During the fiscal 2018-19, the launch income was Rs 324.19 crore up from Rs 232.56 crore earned in 2017-18.
Contracts with 10 countries namely: the US, the UK, Germany, Canada, Singapore, The Netherlands, Japan, Malaysia, Algeria and France were signed in the last five years under commercial arrangements, Union Minister of State in the Department of Space and Department of Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh told Rajya Sabha in December 2019.
Bulk of the foreign satellites lofted by ISRO rocket were small ones, the heaviest foreign satellites that it had put into orbit in 2015 were the three UK satellites UK-DMC 3A, 3B and 3C each weighing 447 kg.
While ISRO which is building a small rocket with a long winding name -- Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) to launch satellites weighing upto 500; two start-ups -- Skyroot Aerospace and Agnikul Cosmos Pvt Ltd -- are also in the process of developing small rockets -- Vikram (payload capacity 300 kg) and Agnibaan (payload capacity 100kg), respectively.
Niti Aayog member V.K. Saraswat at an international space conference said that the launch of small satellites will be a dominant factor in the global space sector, as around 7,000 satellites are expected to be up in the skies by 2027.
According to him, low-cost launch of smallsats to LEO will be the focus of global satellite communications.
In all, about 7,000 smallsats are expected to be launched between 2018 and 2027 at a total cost of $38 billion, Saraswat had said.
Be that as it may, the proposed Saturday rocket launch will be the first space mission for ISRO in 2020 from India.
On January 17, 2020, India's telecommunication satellite 3,357 kg GSAT-30 -replacement for INSAT-4A-was successfully launched into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) on from Kourou launch base, French Guiana by an Ariane rocket.
Last year ISRO Chairman K.Sivan said, the PSLV rocket has lofted 52.7 ton, out of which 17 per cent consists of customer satellites.
However, this time around, ISRO is silent even on the innocuous weight of the country's radar imaging satellite and that of the foreign payloads.

The Librarians: 1.08 "And the Heart of Darkness" Review
We go from science fair and witchcraft to a horror movie opening with a girl, Katie (portrayed by Lea Zawada, who was also in Leverage as a character that Christian Kane's character Elliot protects) running from a house in Slovakia that may be killing people.
The house. Not Slovakia.
So, not good.
That and the ley lines, which are natural channels along which magic travels, are broken and going "wavy"—that means wild magic.
Really not good.
The idea of ley lines of magic running underground is so cool to me. I'm surprised the Brotherhood hasn't tried to tap into one actually, but I digress.
Eve and Jake go to look at the house while Ezekiel goes to activate magical cardinal scrolls to anchor the ley line's energies, and Cassandra is told to stay with Katie. Eve doesn't want Cassandra to be around the ley lines because Eve doesn't trust Cassandra all that much after the whole evil!Cassandra thing.
Also, because—in the original order of continuity—this all happened closer to the pilot and the mistrust of Cassandra after her initial betrayal was still strong.
Katie refuses to stay back, and they all end up in the house, which doesn't fit normal house dimensions. The hallway is longer than the house itself because haunted, and this is the exact moment where the audience collectively yells "Get outta the house!"
As Eve, Ezekiel, and Jake walk through the rooms, they come across a photo of the house, and Eve sees Katie's friends in the photo where no one else can.
The good news is that the ley line have been anchored, but the bad news is that all those urban legends of people dying in old houses aren't legends. They all occurred in one of five Mystery Houses—one of which is the Dionaea House, which is from a Creepypasta that tells the story about a house that eats people.
The sixth Mystery House is the House of Refuge, which actually helps people.
The house that the LITs and Katie are in—the Shatterbox—is the opposite.
It's been eating people and moving around for a century, and while there's no chance (yet) for Katie's friends, the LITs can stop the house if they find its dark heart by midnight.
Ezekiel asks the question we're all asking: "Why is it always midnight?"
As for Cassandra, she's become the Katie-wrangler and is really not pleased with being sidelined. This is one example of why airing episodes out of order does weird things to plot and character continuity because this episode was meant to air fifth with the characters still working out how to be a team, and Eve still learning how to be a Guardian.
So even though by "And the Rule of Three" the team had worked out most of their kinks, here we see that Cassandra is still not trusted, that her tumor which makes her useful also makes her unreliable, so she is sent off with Katie to the Annex when Ezekiel disappears in the house.
At least—that's what the audience is meant to assume since Jake thinks Ezekiel will ran like he did during training that first training session in episode two.
Except some evil/dark/spirit/thing-in-black destroys the car sending Katie and Cassandra back in the house before placing Jake in a doll house with Ezekiel who just randomly has samosas because whatever he wishes he gets.
So—this is an evil wish-giving house?
Well, when the wishes are meant to cause the people stay, I guess?
Jake realizes that the pictures on the wall of the dollhouse are from a variety of periods like the Crusades as well as from 10th century Astronomy books.
The house changed its images to fit the period of time in which it was, which means that the creepy photos from earlier must have been of a family that lived in the house at one point.
Outside, Cassandra realizes that the dark heart of the house is actually Katie! Katie starts muttering about Texarkana and calling Cassandra "Jessie" (a girl who was killed when the house was in Scotland and is very dead).
Props to Lea for portraying the creepiest girl ever.
Back in the house, Cassandra comes across a room where the spirits of all of Katie's past kills are standing while Katie explains her story downstairs: Katie and her family had been killing people, but she was the only one to realize her house was magical, and she could speak to it.
Uh…now that's a good horror movie plot, and I hate horror movies.
The house granted Katie's wish to live on after death and be what she calls "the Angel of Death", but Cassandra isn't having it. Cassandra faces death in the mirror every day and has been since she was fifteen when the doctors told her about her tumor. Katie isn't the Angel of Death here; Cassandra is.
(TNT really should have aired this episode in the right place because it leads to so much of the later episodes like when she talks about her potential being thwarted as evil!Cassandra!)
Cassandra swings at Katie with an axe causing Katie's body to disappear before Cassandra passes out.
When Cassandra wakes up, she finds a note from the house saying thank you and then comes across Ezekiel and Jake arguing about having the House of Wishes which Cassandra points out that this house isn't.
It's not the Shatterbox either.
It's the House of Refuge, and the House of Refuge helps those in need; however, no one expected that a family of serial killers was going to end up finding it.
Which, shouldn't a magical house have some sort of safeguard for that kind of stuff? Maybe, I'm overthinking it.
And, the evil/dark/spirit/thing before? Well, that was actually the house butler: a very nice, elderly man who fixes the car so that everyone can go home safely.
Okay. after watching "And the Rule of Three", which was meant to air ninth and seeing how far the team will have come, it was a bit jarring to watch Eve not trust Cassandra and almost babying her because of a nosebleed as well as Cassandra's lack of control over her synesthesia.
Even so, this was obviously meant to be part of Cassandra's redemption for letting the Brotherhood into the Library during the pilot because she's the one (besides Jake) who really realizes what's going on with the house and is able to stop Katie once and for all.
Plus, the bit about Cassandra being Death—or at least seeing herself as Death when she faces her impending death every day—is a pretty huge revelation for her character and could mean that in the season finale Cassandra'll have some big choices to make about magic in relation to her tumor.
Ezekiel, Eve, and Jake all have minuscule moments of growth as well, but this episode really is about Cassandra, and it's quite artfully done.

Amazon, Yelp, and Citigroup to reimburse U.S. employees who travel for abortions
Any U.S. Amazon employee who is unable to obtain an abortion within 100 miles of their home will be eligible for reimbursement.

Several large companies, including Amazon, Yelp, and Citigroup, are offering to reimburse employees who have to travel to obtain an abortion after a leaked draft opinion shows that the Supreme Court is poised to reverse Roe v. Wade.
Amazon, the second-largest private employer in the United States, on Monday told its staff that it would annually reimburse up to $4,000 in their travel expenses for non-life-threatening medical procedures, including abortions, Reuters reported.
Any U.S. employee who is unable to obtain an abortion within 100 miles of their home will be eligible for the benefit.
Citigroup began covering travel expenses related to abortions earlier this year.
"In response to changes in reproductive healthcare laws in certain states in the U.S., beginning in 2022 we provide travel benefits to facilitate access to adequate resources," the bank's shareholder handout from April said.
Yelp is allowing employees to submit receipts for abortion travel expenses straight to their health insurance provider.
"[N]o one else at Yelp is ever going to know who is accessing this, or how or when, and it will be a reimbursement that comes through the insurance provider directly," Yelp's chief diversity officer, Miriam Warren, said last month, MarketWatch reported.
"We've long been a strong advocate for equality in the workplace, and believe that gender equality cannot be achieved if women's healthcare rights are restricted," she said.


Top Level Hosting Review 2019: Is Top Level Hosting a Good Hosting?
For affordable Romanian hosting on superb infrastructure, Top Level Hosting is a very attractive option with a good selection of web hosting, VPS, and dedicated server packages. Web designers and developers could even take advantage of their free web hosting offer.
Established in 2009, Top Level Hosting (TLH) aims to provide professional, affordable hosting for customers in Romania and Europe. With two high-end Romanian data centers in Bucharest and Pitesti they provide inexpensive hosting packages featuring fantastic performance, security, and availability. Their catalog includes web hosting, VPS, and dedicated servers as well as colocated servers.
TLH's servers run on HP Proliant DL-120 G7 and DL-380 G7 servers with ECC RAM and Intel Xeon Quad Core processors, backed up by R1Soft backups and pure SSD storage with RAID 10 redundancy. Even their web hosting provides great performance with 1 GB of RAM and 1 CPU core for everyone. Thanks to multiple ISPs, the infrastructure includes high-capacity networks that enable TLH to provide 4 Gbps connections at all times. They also make use of Cisco network infrastructure and other top network connectivity providers for global reach.
Although their hosting products are a bit more minimalist, with only the essentials included out of the box, you can install pretty much anything else you want thanks to cPanel and Softaculous.
Web hosting products (but not VPS or dedicated server products) come with 30-day refund policy. They also offer a free web hosting plan for website designers and developers. If this sounds too good to be true, it almost is, because TLH have to review your request for your already-complete website before they give you your freebie.
TLH don't display any ads, their website migration services are free, and they will recommend your services to clients. You get 1 GB of storage, email hosting, discounts on .ro domains, and a range of billing options.
Web Hosting products come with unlimited bandwidth, FTP accounts, and subdomains as well as 1 CPU core and 1 GB RAM. There are five plans that offer 2, 6, 10, 25, or 50 GB of SSD storage and 1, 4, 10, 20, or 40 domains. A dedicated IP or SSH can be added for a monthly fee but comes for free with the two top plans, and the top plans also provide unlimited email accounts and databases.
Reseller Hosting plans come with unlimited traffic, domains, email accounts, subdomains, and databases. The only difference between the plans is the 15, 30, 60, or 120 GB of storage.
Dedicated Servers range from a single Quad Core to two Six-Core CPUs. You can also choose between 16, 32, or 128 GB of ECC RAM. A single IP address is provided, but you can purchase additional IPs as well as cPanel/WHM and R1Soft backups.
The TLH ticketing system allows you to access technical support on a 24/7 basis. Live chat and phone support can be summoned only on weekdays between 10 am and 8 pm. The knowledge base is decent but not comprehensive.
Top Level Hosting provides top-notch products and services at rock-bottom prices. The limited live chat and phone support hours seem to be the only area of compromise.
Wondering how Top Level Hosting stacks up against other Web Hosting companies? Enter any other Web Hosting company and we will give you a side-by-side comparison.

Lou Boudreau
My Hall of Fame Life on the Field and Behind the Mic
By Lou Boudreau
Foreword by Jack Brickhouse and Chuck Heaton / With Russell Schneider
Published by Sports Publishing
Distributed by Simon & Schuster
The autobiography of a baseball great.
Lou Boudreau is considered one of the most extraordinary men in baseball history. He was a player-manager, an All Star, an MVP, a World Series–winner, and a Hall of Famer. But that only scratches the surface of "The Good Kid." In Lou Boudreau: Covering All the Bases, hear from his own words the personal story of a boy from Harvey, Illinois, and how he took the sport of baseball my storm.
In 1942, at only twenty-four years of age and with less than three full seasons in the major leagues, Boudreau was named as the team's next manager. He took the role seriously, and made sure to always lead by example. Lou also shares stories of playing with and managing Cleveland's first African American players, Larry Doby and Satchel Paige, and of winning the 1944 American League Batting Championship with a hit in his final at bat of the season. But the highlight of Lou's career came in 1948, when he used his bat, glove, and coaching skills to lead the Indians to a World Series victory, while becoming the only player-manager ever to win the American League MVP award.
Retiring as a ballplayer in 1952, Boudreau coached for eight more seasons before finally walking away from the field in 1960. He then began his second career as a broadcaster, and was the "Voice of the Chicago Cubs" for almost thirty years.
On August 10, 2001, Lou Boudreau passed away at the age of eighty-four. Enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, "The Good Kid" will always be remembered for what he did both on and off the field. As former teammate and Hall of Famer Bob Feller once said, "He was a great manager, teammate, and friend. There is not a more gracious man than Lou Boudreau."

Dancing With The Stars Kym Johnson For Life & Style Magazine October 2011
Kym Johnson is in the new issue of "Life & Style" Magazine. She dishes on her injury last season and remembers thinking how she'd never be able to dance again. She's completely healed now and promises never to do anything stupid like that again. More below. Be sure to pick up the new issue of Life & Style Magazine to read the full interview as I'm sure she talks more about Dancing With The Stars.
"I remember thinking that this is the end–I may never be able to dance again," Kym tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. "I couldn't feel my arms."
Indeed, Kym learned if she had fallen at a slightly different angle, she could have been paralyzed.
Kym turned to her doctor, who forbade her from dancing and started her on an exhausting rehabilitation regimen including painful physical therapy, hyperbaric chamber sessions and ultrasound therapy.
Now, Kym is completely healed, and she's back for the new season of DWTS, which premieres on Sept. 19 on ABC. Partnered with David Arquette, Kym tells Life & Style that she'll be more cautious this time around: "Now, I'm aware of my health and will never do anything stupid like that again."

Уилл Коттон (; род. 1965) — американский живописец. Работает в жанре гиперреализма Уилл Коттон живёт и работает в Нью-Йорке.

Биография
Родился в 1965 году в городе Мелроз, штат Массачусетс, США. Художественное образование получил в Школе изящных искусств в Руане, Франция. В 1987 получил степень бакалавра изобразительных искусств после обучения в Купер Юнион в Нью-йорке. В 1988 Коттон в течение года обучался в Нью-йоркской Академии искусства.

Творчество

Творчество художника Уилла Коттона является достаточно своеобразным. Используемые предметы в его творчестве — кремы, торты и обнаженные женщины, зачастую в комбинации. Пейзажные работы — зимние ландшафты и пышные дома, изготовленные из вафель, крема и безе. В своей студии Коттон держит мощную профессиональную духовку и сам непосредственно готовит сладкие модели для своих картин. Картины Уилла Коттона принимают регулярное участие в групповых выставках современных художников в Соединенных Штатах и странах Европы.

Сладкий дом

Картина вроде бы и является обычной, но если лучше приглядеться, то видно, что это вовсе не так. Мы видим изображение дома и деревьев в зимнюю пору года. Но выполнено все в достаточно интересной форме, где балконы на домах — печенья, ёлки — «стопочка печеньев», а снег — это глазурь. Прежде чем приступить к написанию работы, художник собственноручно изготовлял все эти сладости, которые, увы, не являются съедобными. Картина относится к монументальной живописи, работа выполнена маслом, цвета мягкие, приятные, нережущие глаз. Идея работы — передать уют и спокойствие зимнего пейзажа в весьма непривычной новой интересной форме — с помощью сладостей. Изображение домов занимает одно из центральных тем в творчестве Уилла Коттона.

Девушка с тортом

Изображение девушек со сладостями — это одна из излюбленных тем художника. Направление этой картины, по словам художника,— гипперреализм, и относится к момументальной живописи. В отличие от других картин, здесь девушка не обнажена. Если хорошо присмотреться, то можно заметить огромное влияние Элвгрена Джила, известного американского художника и иллюстратора в стиле пинап. Прическа в стиле 60-х, детский наивный немного перепуганный взгляд, слегка идеализированная внешность, все это указывает на культ пинапа. Помимо девушки, которая в свою очередь является Кэти Перри, мы видим очень-очень много тортов, и именно это стало фирменным стилем художника. Работа выполнена в привычной технике для художника — масло. Колорит, как и в других работах — мягкий, спокойный, слегка загадочный. Идею картины всегда будет знать лишь автор, но однозначно можно сказать, что, как и для большинства художников, так и для Уилла Коттона прекрасный пол является музой, и в своих работах он передает всю сущность женской красоты, её загадочность игривость и романтичность, как он её понимает.

Персональные выставки
2007, 30 июня — 31 июля, Студия Гленн Горовиц, Нью-Йорк.
2005, 4 декабря — 21 декабря, Галерея Майкла Кона, Лос-Анджелес.

Regional tour of Italy through Food and Wine – Basilicata
Posted byManuPaper 22 Mar 2021 22 Mar 2021 Posted inCollaborationsTags:#aglianico, #aglianicodelvulture, #basilicata, #matera, #montevulture, #polpette, #sassidimatera, #wineandfoodpairing
Chapter 18 – Basilicata and Vulture
Basilicata, an often missed region in southern Italy, is extremely rich in natural beauty. It is bordered to the north by Campania and Puglia and to the south by Campania. Predominantly landlocked, with the Ionian Sea on one side and the Tyrrhenian Sea on the other, it features stunning mountain and hill ranges.
Basilicata is home region to the famous city of Matera, the Sassi di Matera are one of the most fascinating destinations of southern Italy. Those are ancient cave dwellings inhabited since the Paleolithic period, now part of the Unesco World Heritage and one of the most wonderful tourist attractions of the region.
This region crops up only very rarely in wine circles but makes some of the most interesting reds from the toe of the boot of our Italian Peninsula. The Aglianico, a native grape variety which is also diffuse in the surrounding areas, is the most diffuse one and makes the Aglianico del Vulture appellation.
It is home to just four DOCs, which collectively cover only two bottles in every hundred produced here. The remaining 98 percent is sold either under IGT titles or – more likely – Vino da Tavola. Compared to other Italian wine regions, total wine production here is very small at less than 50 million liters.
Winemaking in Basilicata dates back over a thousand years. In central and northern Italy it was the Etruscans and Romans who pioneered local winemaking. However, in the south this task was largely undertaken by seafaring Greeks. Basilicata was also influenced by the Byzantines, who ruled the area during two distinct periods in both the 6th and 9th Centuries. They gave the region its current name (from the Greek basilikos, meaning prince and governor).
It is one of the most mountainous regions in Italy, with around 47 percent mountains and a further 45 percent hills. Only 8 percent of the surface area is classified as being flat.
The famous Monte Vulture is an extinct volcano at 1326m which influenced a lot of the geological aspects of the area.
Infact, the main area for viticulture lies in the heart of the fertile Vulture Massif in the north. Vineyards are located around Mount Vulture on volcanic soils.
The mountainous terrain and harsh weather makes vine-growing a challenge. But the area still enjoys an abundance of sunshine throughout the growing season and cool temperatures around harvest, thanks to climatic variations.
Cool Balkan breezes, travelling across the Adriatic and Puglia, help moderate the temperatures. In addition, the Apennines create a barrier to the mild currents from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. In this hilly territory the local variety, Aglianico del Vulture, reigns, producing quality wines which exhibit fine aromas and flavors.
The Aglianico grape is the star of the Aglianico del Vulture wine. But it is also grown some distance away on the plains of Matera for use in Vino da Tavola wines.
The future appears brighter for Basilicata. The established DOC Aglianico del Vulture has gained an excellent reputation for some of the finest wines in Italy.
Aglianico (then known as Ellenico) has the leading wine grape variety here for many centuries. Recent theories suggest it was introduced (known as vino de llanos, or "wine of the plains") under Aragonese rule during the late Middle Ages.
Today I am very excited to present one of my recent Aglianico discoveries, which pairs, to say the least, perfectly with the delicious Polpette di Pane made by Carlotta.
The winery, Camerlengo, is a very artisanal one, a true reference for the Aglianico lovers around Italy and around the world. It is located in Rapolla, in the Potenza area, and it has been producing wine and olive oil since the 19th century. Nowadays the owner, Antonio Cascarano is the nephew of the founder, Giovanni Falaguerra, who decided to combine his passion for architecture and wine, recovering the old vines and the original cellar dug into the tuff of his grandfather.
Image from Decanto.it
The vineyards, 4 hectares, is located in a beautiful area, on the slopes of the Monte Vulture, where the vines grow in tuffaceous marl soils, rich in silicon and potassium, that gives to the grapes great acidity and to the wines an incomparable freshness. The climate is pretty mild, with huge temperature variation between day and night. The winery is organic and the work in the vineyards is made in order to prevent more than intervene. Biodiversity is extremely important for Antonio and nature is left to make his course, he just accompanies it to make his wines.
The wines are intense and with explosive tempers very similar to the wine maker's one. His philosophy is to let the Aglianico express at the top of its quality, by coming back to a very natural approach in the fields and a less intervention in the cellar.
Antelio wine is 100% made with Aglianico grapes, from 30 years old vines grown in volcanic soils. It makes spontaneous fermentation in oak barrels, with 25 days of maceration. It ages for 12 months in chestnut-wood and 6 months in bottle before going into the market. It is non filtered and non clarified.
The colour is deep ruby, very intense and dark, typical from this grape variety. The nose is extremely expressive and complex. It has dark fruits, like plumb, blackcurrant, very juicy fruits and well ripened. Flowers are dried flowers like red roses, and then it opens with a range of spiced notes, like liquorice, black pepper, tobacco, leather and hearty nuances. It is a very dynamic wine and truly territorial. The mouth is smooth and round, with high acidity and tannins. The surprise of this wine is the minerality which comes at every sip and makes it very vibrant and light even if the body is pretty high.
I cannot think of a better pairing than the Polpette di Pane made by @lapanzapiena
A region rich in biodiversity – something I hope you've discovered thanks to our article is an element which applies to all of Italy's regions, however different each region may be.
Biodiversity in landscape: from mountains which resemble the Dolomites to rugged coastlines with crystal clear water. Hills, canyons and white rock towns built within hills which feel like a movie set but are in reality so much better, more authentic.
Biodiversity in culture as the region was home to many different folk throughout history. Before being known as Basilicata it was called Lucania and its surface area was much larger than modern day Basilicata, as it included part of Campania and Calabria. Prior to that, around the 5th century, the area of Lucania extended all the way to the straight of Messina! The ancient Greeks conquered the area followed by the Romans who founded the colony of Potentia (Potenza). With the fall of the Roman Empire it was inhabited by the Byzantines, from whom one of the theories on the region's name – Basicilata – originates from.
Biodiversity in gastronomic products such as Matera's bread which is at the basis of the poor traditional cuisine, used both when fresh and when stale to create wonderful – often spicy – dishes. Fresh mozzarella and scamorza, prepared lovingly by hand in many caseifici in the province of Potenza, like Latteria Salvia Maria in Tito, that I had the pleasure of visiting and experiencing a 5am mozzarella making session (followed by a tasting of warm nodding which was incredible). Peperone Cruso, also known as Basilicata's red gold: an air-dried pepper which is then fried and is incredibly crunchy and just a little sweet, often paired with mozzarella and salami as an antipasto or crumbled onto a pasta dish. Aglianico del Vulture, the region's most popular wine – which Manu will tell you about later in a much more articulate way than I can. And olive oil, so much delicious, almost spicy, olive oil. The last product I'm going to mention – because otherwise the list would be endless – is Melanzana Rossa di Rotonda, an aubergine that looks exactly like a fat, ripe tomato but is in fact an aubergine. Don't be fooled by its appearance (I've already been down that road) and bit it raw because well, it won't be a pleasurable experience.
Regions whose traditional cuisine is a poor one all have recipes that gravitate around the same concept: reducing food waste. Whether that be a Tuscan zuppa di Scottiglia that uses all the parts of game animals or a gigantic frittata in which leftover veggies, cheese, milk and herbs go in, a widespread practice throughout Italy, the goal is to never throw anything away. Especially bread. Bread, at the centre of most Italian regional cuisines is considered the most poor food but also the most important, as Massimo Bottura says: "bread is gold". So naturally it is never thrown away, even after it becomes hard as a brick and could damage whatever it lands upon when thrown. Italians have become wonderfully resourceful in transforming stale bread into marvelous dishes, whether it is using the breadcrumbs to impanare a cotoletta or soaking it in milk and using it to make meatballs soft.

Q: Is there a geometric proof for distributivity of integer addition/multiplication and other similar properties? I am aware that commutativity, associativity and distributivity of integer addition and multiplication follow from their standard set theoretic definitions but I am looking for something suitable for novices or younger students to understand. From what I understand you can alternatively argue with case by case analysis but there's a lot of cases and it doesn't look that satisfying.
I have came up with some geometric proofs of my own and would happily share them since I have found nothing like this online, but I get the feeling that some already exist and are as refined and streamlined as they will ever be, so if you happen to know any please do share :)
P.S. Just to make myself clear I am not talking about just natural numbers here, there's plenty of that stuff online for sure.
Edit: Thanks for your comments, I attached a picture and will explain my arguments for commutativity and associativity. I am aiming to be as elementary as possible and give a good reason to believe the theorems rather than a rigorous proof.
I am modelling integers as arrows pointing to equally spaced points on a line, addition defined in the obvious way.
The top of the image below demonstrates commutativity. Call the blue arrow x and the orange arrow y. Drawing x and y next to each other makes a combined arrow of length |x| + |y|, moving the arrows so that they start from the ends of x and y preserves the length, thus they meet at the same point. This shows that going along blue then orange gets you to the same place as orange then blue, in other words x+y = y+x. Similar argument should hold for any two integers with different signs.

Next is associativity, equivalent to show (x+y)+z = (z+y)+x by commutativity.
The first part is (x+y)+z, then (z+y)+x can be represented by travelling in reverse with the left direction increasing as shown next (read upwards). The arrow representing (z+y)+x is the reflection of (x+y)+z, so it has the same length, thus in this interpretation it is the same integer.

A: In Elements II, 1, Euclid proves for rectangles the geometric analog to the distributive law of multiplication. And Elements VII, 16 gives a purely arithmetic proof of the commutative law of multiplication for natural numbers. These, or something along these lines, might be useful for novice or younger students.

Premier Foods to Restructure Milling Business
Premier Foods is to reorganise its Milling business into two distinct parts to strengthen focus on its free trade (third party) customer base while vertically integrating its remaining milling operations into its baking and grocery businesses. In addition, it is proposed to close the company's mill located in Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, by the end of October 2013 to align capacity with current market demands.
In future, a dedicated management structure will be established to oversee Premier's Rank Hovis free trade business. This will be largely serviced by the company's sites in Southampton, Manchester and Newbridge. The remaining mills in Wellingborough, Selby, Andover and Gainsborough will be organised into a vertically integrated flour supply business for the company's baking and grocery business.
Premier will invest an additional £1 million in improving the capability of its Southampton and Wellingborough sites as part of this re-organisation although the overall group guidance on capital expenditure remains unchanged.
Following a review of current milling capacity and demand, it is also proposed to close the company's mill located in Barry. This will be phased over the coming months with final closure expected by the end of October 2013, resulting in the loss of around 43 employees plus a smaller number of local contractors.
Bob Spooner, managing director of Premier Foods' Bread Division and group supply chain director, comments: "The Rank Hovis business has over 100 years of history in British milling with significant scale, expertise and know-how. By creating a dedicated structure aligned to our Rank Hovis customers, we will be able to improve further our customer focus and service levels."
He continues: "It's also critical that we take the tough decisions necessary to improve the longer term profitability and sustainability of the milling business by aligning our capacity to market needs. We recognise the impact this proposal will have for our employees in Barry and we thank them for their contribution over the years. However, it's not possible to continue on the current path given excess capacity in the marketplace."
This proposed reorganisation is the latest step in Premier's plans to re-build value in its Bread and Milling business begun in 2012. The expected costs associated with the restructuring of the business announced last year will remain unchanged at approximately £28 million. The costs associated with the proposed closure of the Barry mill will be absorbed into this.

COES to graduate six Grand Challenge Scholars
Six Grand Challenge Scholars from the Louisiana Tech College of Engineering and Science will graduate at the Saturday, May 25 ceremony.
GCSP graduates are (from left) Natalie Mueller, Stephen Bierschenk, John Aguillard, Rachel Hegab, Jacob Fontenot, and Seth McReynolds.
The six Scholars who have completed the program for the 2018-19 year are:
John Aguillard of Alexandria – electrical engineering
Stephen Bierschenk of Dallas – mechanical engineering
Jacob Fontenot of Lake Charles – mechanical engineering
Rachel Hegab of Ruston – biomedical engineering
Natalie Mueller of Batavia, Illinois – biomedical engineering
Seth McReynolds of DeRidder – mechanical engineering
The Grand Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP), which started at Louisiana Tech in 2009, is an interdisciplinary, co-curricular program designed to better prepare engineering graduates to solve real-world, 21st century problems and enhance their leadership and interpersonal skills.
Students who participate in the program must complete five components within a curricular plan: mentored research in a grand challenge topic, interdisciplinary understanding of engineering solutions developed through personal engagement, development of a viable business model, understanding of cultural issues surrounding grand challenges, and a deepened social consciousness and motivation to address societal problems.
"This year's class of Grand Challenge Scholars is one of our most accomplished," Dr. Leland Weiss, Louisiana Tech GCSP faculty advisor and director of civil engineering, construction engineering technology and mechanical engineering, said. "They've traveled the world, worked with engineers and scientists around the globe, and pursued real engineering challenges that face the 21st century. We're very proud of them."
Hegab, who worked on the Grand Challenge to "Engineer Better Medicines" says that her experiences with the GCSP at Louisiana Tech have helped prepare her for a future in medicine.
"My participation in GCSP has given me opportunities to engineer better medicine in the research, interdisciplinary learning, entrepreneurship, global dimension, and outreach," she said. "Throughout my experiences in the lab, in leadership positions, and in community outreach, I have begun to develop the foundation of research and leadership skills I need to one day run my own research lab or project team at a corporation to innovate medicine that will treat and prevent cancer and other chronic diseases while improving the health of society as a whole."
Other challenges that the 2019 GCSP graduates addressed are engineering tools of scientific discovery, reverse-engineering the brain, restoring and improving urban infrastructure, and making solar energy economical.
"The GCSP has provided me with the connections and support to become integrated into a research lab and begin my doctoral research at Colorado State University, where I'll be traveling to Rwanda yearly to outfit homes with clean energy sources," Fontenot said of his experience with the program. "Hopefully, my team and I will be able to significantly reduce the negative effects of household emissions due to burning kerosene/biomass that plague the people of rural Rwanda."
"The GCSP has encouraged me to engage in research, entrepreneurship, and service learning opportunities with applications in neurological health," Mueller added. "This program has equipped me with the technical and communication skills necessary to succeed in graduate school, where I will continue to reverse-engineer the brain. I'm proud to have contributed to the progress surrounding one of the greatest challenges in engineering."
Dr. Katie Evans, national GCSP proposal review committee chair and associate dean of strategic initiatives for the Louisiana Tech College of Engineering and Science says that she expects these GCSP graduates will significantly improve the world around them.
"I continue to be impressed and humbled by the outstanding accomplishments of our Grand Challenge Scholars," Evans said. "Together with other Scholars from around the world, they are the engineering and science changemakers on whom our future society depends."
Students who are interested in joining the GCSP can learn more on the program website.

Achieve smart technology integration while maintaining a hometown feel
With over $900 million in assets, First Federal is the only locally-owned savings bank on Washington's North Olympic Peninsula. To continue to provide the best service to the communities it serves, the bank needed to dedicate more space and staff to higher-value customer interactions. First Federal selected Momentum for two critical tenant improvement projects.
Technology Integration with a Human Touch
The team is amazing, from the top to the bottom. Jenny's design spoke to our brand, and Colin's expertise in the building industry helped us get through the permit process. Momentum was able to identify potential hurdles and solutions up front, which helped avoid trouble down the line."
Kelly Liske, EVP & Chief Banking Officer / First Federal Savings & Loan
Momentum worked closely with First Federal to develop a long-term branch optimization strategy, leveraging technology as a differentiator. Branch efficiency was identified as a key project requirement.
The team focused on a "Modern Industry" design concept, integrating First Federal's community-based roots and rich history with its new focus on technology innovation.
The Silverdale branch, the first of two tenant improvement projects completed with Momentum, is the first implementation of the new First Federal branch prototype. The new layout intersperses Virtual Teller Machines with transactional mini-pod areas, balancing technology with human touchpoints for an exceptional customer experience in a more efficient footprint.
The new branch design is driving impressive business results as well.
In nine months, the branch reached $20M in deposit growth and exceeded $25M in just 12 months. This far outpaced the branch's projected goal of $26M – which we anticipated happening in three years, not one."
First Federal is an early adopter of cutting-edge Virtual Teller Technology. The Momentum team developed an efficient design with one teller servicing three Interactive Teller Machines. The problem? The design and implementation actually outpaced the production of the new technology! To overcome this obstacle, Momentum created a design that worked with both ATMs and ITMs and set up the stage for a seamless technology switch 8 months after the branch opening.
Customer Interactions are Evolving. Are You?


Every festive season, we are facing excessive packaging from what is torn open and thrown away immediately to discarded food, plus billion cards that don't get recycled. This year, we should do better.
1. Buy gifts that will be used and last long: Although novelty items are fun, receiving gifts that might not be used or might not be liked, probably means there's a higher chance of your gift becoming waste, now or in the future. Glass mug, tumbler, tote bag or even a colourful bamboo toothbrush are reusable. 2. Avoid made-of plastics items: Prefer natural materials accessories that are usually of a better quality than their counterpart in plastic. Look for bamboo, cotton, glass or metal as alternative like in straw. 3. Reuse paper, carton box and paper bag to wrap your gift and be creative to re decorate them: Give a try to beeswax wrap, a 2 gifts in 1 as the wrap is reusable to replace plastic container or plastic film in the kitchen. And for present labels, use the front of old Christmas cards! 4.Open your cupboard, plan you menu and buy in bulk: Plan your meals before you go food shopping. Writing a list makes sure you don't overbuy. And prefer bulk foods whenever it is available. Also check what do you have in the cupboards and refrigerator that needs used before going out on shopping. Incorporate the food ingredients that need to be used in your festive menu and find recipes that use ingredients that you have already.

I laid my trusted rifle across my lap and glanced at my watch. Almost half an hour of darkness remained before the sun would break the horizon on the first day of Pennsylvania rifle season. I waited, enjoying the cool and quiet dark as the time ticked away.
The black of night turned to grey, and the shadows started to take shape. I caught movement in the brush. Through my binoculars, I saw the outline of the small yearling buck. This was not the buck I was looking for that morning, but the sighting spiked my adrenaline. Shortly after the young buck disappeared into the twisted laurel, I caught more movement as a group of does climbed cautiously up the mountain.
Time slipped quietly past without my noticing. It could have been an hour or even three hours later when the glint of bright ivory antlers weaving through the brush gave a new buck away. My focus snapped tight as the adrenaline red-lined for the second time. Even through the thick tangle of saplings, I saw immediately that he was headed in my direction.
As he moved closer, I could see the tall rack of this mature buck. He was locked onto a doe who wanted no part of his admiration. The doe and her admirer closed the distance between us, and I spotted two or three other bucks flanking the pair.
Here I was, the right spot at the right time.
Two of the satellite bucks, including a mature, dark-antlered eight-point, peeled off towards a clearing in the underbrush. This was my opportunity. As soon as the two bucks stepped into the opening, I eased off the safety. The crosshairs settled onto the crease behind the front shoulder of a heavy-racked, eight-point buck.
The report of my rifle...and the buck collapsed within sight.
It was my trusted bolt action rifle that made this hunt a success. But would this story of a beautiful Pennsylvania whitetail buck have changed had it been a semi-automatic? In fact, the very bullet that put the fresh venison on our table could have been fired from a semi-auto in nearly every state in the nation except the one where this buck lived.
For some, this prohibition of semi-automatic rifles in my home state of Pennsylvania is a safety concern. The Pennsylvania Game Commission researched this very issue. They found that the use of semi-automatic rifles in big game seasons in other states did not have an impact on hunter safety while afield.
Yet even with this knowledge, there were still major hurdles to removing such a long-standing prohibition. In November, one of these was cleared as the governor of our state signed the critical piece of legislation. This bill permitted me and other hunters the opportunity to use semi-automatic rifles in Pennsylvania for all game species. Now, the final decision belonged to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
The stage was set for a monumental vote at the most recent meeting of the Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners, held the last week of March. The fate of semi-automatic rifles in hunting seasons came down to just their eight votes. There was room for optimism, and we eagerly anticipated the decision.
The votes were cast, and despite all, Pennsylvania decided to remain one of the only states in the nation where a hunter cannot legally hunt big game with a semi-automatic rifle.
As part of their ruling, the commissioners reported the reasoning for their vote. How convenient it would have been if it was the standard political gamesmanship between right and left behind it all. But instead, the prohibition on semi-auto hunting will continue thanks to the hunters themselves.
According to the commissioners, the majority of Pennsylvania hunters in the poll they conducted made their voices clear. They were not ready for semi-automatic rifles in Pennsylvania big game seasons, which include black bear, elk, deer and turkeys.
Yet, this much anticipated decision was only a partial loss, or partial victory, depending on your point of view. While my new JP wouldn't be coming with me for this year's whitetail season, it will still be more than just my 3-Gun rifle this year.
While the commission's vote was not in favor of semi-automatic rifles for the big game seasons, it was not an outright ban on semi-auto hunting. As it turned out, this was a compromise since the commission's decision gave final approval for semi-auto hunting for small game, furbearers and groundhogs during the 2017-2018 hunting season.
This is a first in Keystone State history. For hunters like me, it took some of the sting out of the decision and gave room for hope. What's more, the Game Commission noted that if there is increasing interest in the use of semi-automatic rifles in big game season, the decision could be revisited in future years.
In the end, this wasn't a loss. In fact, it's just that we didn't win as much as we'd hoped this time around. So long as hunting remains popular in Pennsylvania, semi-automatics are a matter of when, not if. Pennsylvania may still be at the back of the pack, but we're all moving in the same direction.
So for now, I will continue to carry my favorite bolt action rifle through the whitetail woods. But, as soon as the new regulations take effect on July 1, I will be on trigger of my JP-15. The fat groundhogs will be venturing out of their holes to feed on big green soybean leaves, and I'll be waiting.
It'll be a nice change for this year and not the last, I'm sure.

The Giant Schnauzer was once known as the Munich Schnauzer as the breed was developed around Munich by cattle farmers who wanted a strong cattle drover. Using the standard Schnauzer as a foundation, the cattlemen added Rottweiler, Great Dane, sheepdogs and perhaps Bouvier to the mix and the result was the Giant Schnauzer, a breed with the strength, stamina and temperament to deal with wayward cattle. When train transportation for livestock was developed, the Giant Schnauzer turned its talents to guarding work in the cities where it has also been used as a police dog and as a tracking dog.
