Alexander Matheson was een partner van de handelsfirma Jardine Matheson & Co in Hong Kong. Deze firma speelt een belangrijke rol in de boeken Taipan en Noble House van James Clavell.
In 1839, het jaar dat de eerste opiumoorlog uitbreekt tussen China en Engeland koopt een ketel voor het stoken van whisky.
Dalmore is deels Keltisch, deels Noors en betekent zoveel als de grote groene weide, waarmee het schiereiland Black Isle wordt bedoeld.Dalmore werd verpacht aan Andrew Mackenzie, waar wat later zijn twee broers Charles en William bijkwamen.
Het hertengewei op het etiket van The Dalmore komt van Clan Mackenzie, het is hun coat of arms, gegeven door koning Alexander de derde, zo'n 700 jaar geleden.
May 2012
The Dalmore Constelltion Collection is launched, the 21 bottle range in age from 20 to 48 years old is pricing between 2000 and 20.000 pound for the 1964 Vintage.
The whole collection costs 158.000 pound.
Two collections the numbers one and eight will be initially available at Heatrow, and
Whyte & Mackay expects to sell 4000 bottles over the next 5 years
Turf en gerst kwamen uit de omgeving, de kolen voor het stoken van de ketels kwamen per trein uit Fife. In 1870 was The Dalmore de eerste distilleerderij met export naar Australië.In 1874 werd er uitgebreid met twee ketels.In 1891 werd The Dalmore het eigendom van de Mackenzies
Gedurende de eerste wereldoorlog werd voor £ 1.000.000 aan gelagerde whisky naar drie andere distilleerderijen gebracht en The Dalmore werd een mijnen- werkplaats van de Admiraliteit. In 1920 toen de whisky terugkeerde naar The Dalmore miste er geen vat.
In 1956 werd de vloermouterij vervangen door het Saladin systeem.
In 1960 gingen de Macjenzies samen met hun langjarige vrienden en afnemers Whyte & Mackay.
In 1972 werd Whyte & Mackay Distillers Ltd overgenomen door Sir Hugh Fraser's Scottish and Universal Investments Ltd. (S.U.I.T.S.) en met de financieele achtergrond was men in staat om in 1972(Old) Fettercairn en in 1973 Tomintoul te kopen.
In 1974 werd S.U.I.T.S. overgenomen door de Lonrho groep die in 1988 Whyte & Mackaty verkocht aan Brent Walker die op zijn beurt Whyte & Mackay verkocht aan de tabak gigant Gallaher, het eigendom van American Brands.
In 1987 toen Guinness de Distillers Company Limited, (D.C.L.) wilde overnemen was één van de voorwaarden van de Britse monopolie commissie dat negen merken uit het pakket van de D.C.L. in andere handen zou komen. Whyte & Mackay slaagde erin deze rechten te verkrijgen met o.a. Haig en The Calymore. De toeleveringen van deze merken komt nog wel van United Distillers.
In 1991 was er een mislukt bod op The Invergordon Distillers door Whyte & Mackay, het hoogst geboden bedrag was £ 350.000.000.
In October 1993 sluit American Brands, eigenaar van Whyte & Mackay zijn jarenlange jacht op Invergordon af met het bekend maken dat zijn aandeel in Invergordon is vergroot van 41,2 % tot 54,7 %. De geboden prijs waardeert Invergordon op £ 382,4 miljoen is ƒ 1,05 miljard.
De omzet van Invergordon was in 1992 £ 85.000.000, die van Whyte & Mackay £ 150. 000.000 in datzelfde jaar.
In 1995 maakt Whyte & Mackay bekend dat de distilleerderijen Bruichladdich, Tamnavulin en Tullibardine (tijdelijk ?) worden gesloten, distilleerderijen van de Invergordon Group. Isle of Jura, ook van Invergordon blijft geopend alsmede de Invergordon Grain Distillery.
Het gebruikte water komt van de rivier de Alness. Begonnen met één paar ketels, kwamen er in 1874 een tweede paar bij in een apart staand ketelhuis. In 1966 kwamen er nog twee paar ketels bij.
De produktie is ongeveer 3.000.000 liter spirit per jaar. Men lagert op deels Bourbon-, deels sherryvaten. Er liggen ongeveer 100.000 vaten met whisky te rijpen.
In 1996 werden Whyte & Mackay en Invergordon ondergebracht bij J B B Greater Europe Pic. In Juli 2000 werd Tomintoul verkocht aan de blenders Angus Dundee.
Op 19 December 2000 wordt Bruichladdich verkocht aan een groep financiers onder leiding van Murray McDavid Ltd.
In October 2001 wordt het Schotse deel van J B B Greater Europe Pic verkocht aan een groep Schotse investeerders met de naam Kyndal International.
De Mash tun is 9,2 ton.
De acht Wash backs hebben een inhoud van elk 49.500 liter.
Twee Wash stills hebben een inhoud van 16.500 liter, twee elk 8250 liter.
Twee Spirit stills zijn 11.364 liter, twee 7340 liter groot.
De ketels worden met stoom verhit en de jaar capaciteit is 3.000.000 liter spirit.
Maart 2007;
Er wordt een kleine hoeveelheid zwaar geturfrookte The Dalmore geproduceerd.

October 2001
Kyndall International neemt het Schotse deel van J B B Greater Europe over van Fortune Brands, eigenaar van wat eerder Whyte & Mackay en Invergordon was.
Het betreft vijf malt distilleerderijen: Dalmore, (Old) Fettercairn, Isle of Jura, Tamnavulin en Tullibardine en de Grain distilleerderij Invergordon.
Manager van Kyndall International wordt Brian Magson.
Vijftien maanden later verlaat Brian Magson Kyndall International, dit als gevolg van een meningsverschil met de Duitse West L B bank, de financier van Kyndall International.
De omzet in het eerste jaar na de aankoop was £ 157.2 miljoen, de winst £ 20.6 miljoen. Er werden 9,3 miljoen dozen whisky verkocht. Kyndall International heeft 750 medewerkers.
Kyndal International Ltd.
In 2001 verstrekt Principal - Finance, onder leiding van Robin Saunders, en het eigendom van de Duitse West L B bank, een lening van £ 188 miljoen, is 6 263 miljoen aan Kyndal International Ltd.
Tegelijkertijd wordt voor 40 % deelgenomen in Kyndal International, Robin Saunders en haar collega's nemen zelf voor een 4e deel in het aandeel van de West L B bank aandeel, in de vorm van aandelen voorkeursrechten.
De Amerikaanse bezitter van de groep was J B B Greater Europe, vroeger Jim Beam. Het krediet heeft een looptijd tot 2013.
De naam van de onderneming wordt Whyte & Mackay, de oude naam van de onderneming van vóór de overname ooit door Jim Beam.
Aanvankelijk was het de bedoeling de lening af te lossen door aandelen uit te geven, maar vanwege de hoge kosten van deze uitgifte is daarvan afgezien.
In Augustus 2003 wordt in samenwerking met Bain & Co, management - begeleiders, een reorganisatie bekend gemaakt waarbij 200 van de 700 medewerkers worden ontslagen, en één van de twee bottelfabrieken wordt gesloten.
In 2003 verlaten vijf leden van het managements team het bedrijf.
Het is de bedoeling dat Whyte & Mackay zich meer gaat toeleggen op de verkoop van eigen merken, met als belangrijkste Whyte & Mackay, en de malt whisky Isle of Jura.
Tot nu toe was een heel belangrijk onderdeel van de verkopen de levering van whisky aan supermarkten.
De omzet in 2002, tot aan September was £ 157 miljoen, met een winst van £ 20,6 miljoen. Whyte & Mackay staat op plaats negen op de wereldranglijst van whiskyverkopen. Juli 2003.
West L B bank is deelgenoot in de televisie toestellen verhuurder Bos - Clever, nu in de problemen, de bioskoop keten Odeon, de water leverancier Mid Kent, de Pub keten Pubmasters en de warenhuisketen Bhs.
Alles via zijn onderdeel Principal Finance.
Juli 2003
Vivian Imerman is nu dé man bij Whyte & Mackay, eigenaar van 60 % van het aandelenkapitaal.
Hij is van plan nog de 30 % aandelen in het bezit van de West L B bank over te nemen, £ 50 miljoen in de komende vijf jaar te investeren in de belangrijkste merken: Whyte and Mackay, Isle of Jura, Dalmore en Vladimir Vodka.
£ 20 miljoen wordt gestoken in de bottel, lagerpakhuizen en distributie afdelingen. Vivian Imerman, geboren in Zuid-Afrika, verdiende zijn geld met Del Monte's aankoop en verkoop later.
1839 or 1841 Dalmore founded by Alexander Matheson, nephew of Sir James Matheson, born in 1796 at Lairg, Sutherland and trader in the Far East
1832 Along with his business partner William Jardine, he formed Jardine Matheson & Co, smuggling opium into China in exchange for tea and silks, with the tacit support of the Brithish Government
1839 - 1842 Chinese opposition to this trade was ultimately to lead to the Opium Wars Alexander Matheson who had been taken into the firm by his uncle and this brought great wealth to him
Dalmore was constructed next to Dalmore Mill, on the Alness Water, including that of Dalmore, purchased forSome of Alexander's money was spent acquiring large estates in Easter Ross
24.700 Pounds, he laid out the vast amount of 773.020 Pounds buying 220.000 acres in the county of Ross

In 1263, an ancestor of Clan Mackenzie saved King Alexander III of Scotland from being
gored by a stag's whilst out hunting. The grateful King granted hin the right to bear a stag's
head - 'a 12 pointer'or 'Royal'- in his coat of arms.
Every bottle of single malt from our Highland distillery was, and is, adorned with this proud
emblem, symbolising the supremacy of The Dalmore
The Dalmore King Alexander III commemorates this act of daring spirit. This exceptional malt has been filled to no less than six different casks, including French wine barriques, Ma-
deira drums, sherry butts from Jerez, Sicilian marsala barrels, port pipes from the Douro and
bourbon barrels from Kentucky.
The King Alexander III unites each of these to form a rich deep spirit
The legend of Clan Mackenzie has been immortalised by Benjamin West in his painting 'The
Death of the Stag'

Astrum is the Latin word for constellation. As the stars glint and gleam in the might
sky so will The Dalmore Astrum shine with an unmatched brilliance among whiskies.
Set to cask in 1966, The Dalmore Astrum spent most of the ensuing four decades
in American white oak casks before being transferred for a final 18 month flourish
to 30 year old Matusalem casks from Gonzalez Byass.
Just 500 bottles are available worldwide. Each bottle and its priceless contents are
proudly protected in a bespoke, high gloss black lacquer box, making The Dalmore
Astrum a true star among malts.

The Dalmore Castle Leod, A formidable malt.
This limited edition bottling celebrates the ancient and historic seat of Clan Mackenzie and is the second in a series crafted by Master Distiller Richard Paterson in homage to Clan Mackenzie
After all, it was the vision of the Mackenzie brothers that laid the foundation for the distillery's monumenta lsuccess.
Castle Leod has been home to the Caberfeidh, Chief of the Clan Mackenzie, since 1606 and is located just 14 miles from the The Dalmore Distillery
This classic Vintage 1995 expression was matured initially in American white oak and Spanish sherry wood, before being transferred for a final 18 months to barriques from a legendary 1st cru classe Bordeaux chateau.
The River Spey is world - renowed as a classic Salmon fishing river which runs through the heart of Scotland's malt whisky country. In recognition and celebration of the iconic status of the River Spey and those who travel from around the world to fish it, we have created this exclusive expression of The Dalmore.
Behind the scentic beauty of the majestic River Spey lies a delicate and sensitive environment ,which is conserved and enhanced through the tireless work of the Spey
The mighty River Tay is renowed as the largest of Scotland's Great Salmon Rivers. The "Silvery Tay"is steeped in fishing legend and is famed for Salmon of prodigious size. The most famous of these,
which weighed in at a staggering 64 Pounds, was caught by Miss Georgina Ballantine in 1922. Mis sBallantine's record remains unbroken, even today.

The wash stills at Dalmore have flat tops, and are also in two sizes. Three are 13,000-litres in capacity, the fourth is double that. The spirit stills all sport water coolers around their necks to assist in reflux. Again, one of the quartet is double the size. Because of this discrepancy in size and the fact that the spirit stills are charged when the low wines and feints receiver is full, the strength of the charge to those stills varies, creating different end flavours. Though it seems random to an outsider, thankfully it is controlled by high experienced stillmen. All these distillates are vatted before being casked.
Condensing is also unusual. The spirit stills have external shell and tube condensers which lie horizontally. This mirrors the old worm pipe which lay in the burn which runs outside the stillhouse.
Ex-Sherry casks are the most commonly-used maturation vessel and unlike many distilleries, ex-solera casks soaked in oloroso and PX Sherry for decades are preferred over the oak-driven bespoke casks now common across the industry.
The northern distilleries seem to have a disproportionately high number of wealthy backers. Dalmore is typical of this. It was founded, in 1839, by Alexander Matheson who had made his fortune as a partner in Jardine Matheson the trading firm which took over from the East India Company and which, by that time, was controlling exports of opium trade into China.
The lease (and eventually ownership) was taken by the Mackenzie family in 1878 and it remained family-owned until 1960 when one of Dalmore's main customers, Whyte & Mackay, took control. A significant contributor to W&M's blends, for many years Dalmore's presence in the world of single malt was restricted to a 12-year-old expression. In recent times however the range has expanded dramatically, with a core range of 12, 15, 18 and 25-years-old, plus no-age-statement specialities like King Alexander III, Cigar Malt, and an ever-growing selection of luxury expressions such as the 21-strong Constellation range (comprising vintages from 1964 to 1992) and 1951 'Sirius'. Prices at the top end regularly top five figures.
W&M itself has gone through a dizzying number of hands in recent times. Its current custodian is Emperador of the Philippines.

A bottle of Dalmore 62-year-old single malt – one of only a dozen released in 2002 – sold for more than £90,000 at auction, almost double its pre-sale estimate.
Dalmore 62 year old
Tidy sum: The rare Dalmore 12 Pointer nearly doubled its pre-sale estimate
The 12 Pointer, number three in a series of 12 bottles of 62-year-old whisky released by the Highland distillery in 2002, had been expected to fetch £40,000-50,000 at the Sotheby's auction in London on Wednesday (20 September).
But keen bidding saw the price reach £78,000 when the hammer went down (the £91,650 figure includes the buyer's premium), a new record for Dalmore 62-year-old at auction.
The 12-bottle series was a vatting of four Dalmore casks, filled in 1868, 1876, 1926 and 1939, with each bottle named after a key element in the distillery's history.
The 12 Pointer refers to the distillery's stag emblem, with the bottle presented in a wooden case with a certificate signed by Dalmore master distiller Richard Paterson.
The auction price falls short of the S$250,000 (£125,000) paid at Singapore's Changi Airport for another of the 12 bottles in 2011, at the height of the luxury spending boom in the Far East.
As celebrations for his 50th year in the whisky business draw to a close, Richard Paterson, Dalmore's inimitable master blender, reflects on a lifetime of innovation, eccentricity and insults, and why he's still best-known as 'that guy who throws whisky on the floor'.
Richard Paterson Dalmore Whyte & Mackay
Paterson's passion: The revered master blender is one of the foremost authorities on maturation
He's one of the world's most revered whisky blenders, yet when Whyte & Mackay's Richard Paterson creates a new expression, he first turns to a psychic birthday book.
'It tells you a person's character based on the day they were born,' he explains. 'It tells you who shares their birthday, what their tarot cards are, their positives and weaknesses, and that allows you to build up something when you make a whisky.'
It sounds a little far-fetched for this traditional, dapper Glaswegian gentleman to be consulting a psychic tarot text. Nevertheless, the all-seeing birthday book has been summoned on many an occasion, most recently for Paterson's creation of a new blended malt in memory of Polar explorer Ernest Shackleton.
'When we created the Shackleton we looked at his birthday (15 February 1874), and saw his character was very much into working as a team. He had a soft and hard side to him, so the whisky has been purely built on his character.'
In a way, Paterson's fondness for people and their personal tales is not so surprising at all; stories are what make him tick. The master blender, master showman and whisky educator has been imbuing presentations, speeches and even his own biography with analogies, historic legends and cautionary tales for decades, peppering them with endless facts and anecdotes. Even our interview comes with its own dose of Paterson Prose.
So what characteristics does the book list for those born on 31 January, Paterson's birthday? 'It's not right for everybody, but the majority of times it hits the mark,' he tells me before emailing over a scan of his page. It reads: 'Those born on January 31 are individuals who wish to be heard'.
Uncanny. Paterson is arguably the most famous face in Scotch whisky. His unconventional – and sometimes controversial – teaching methods, and reputation as 'The Nose', have made him the most watched whisky personality on YouTube, and the only Scotch producer to be invited to do a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). Although the man behind the Dalmore, Jura, Fettercairn and Tamnavulin malts, and the Whyte & Mackay blend, has received several lifetime achievement awards, trophies and medals, Paterson is still known by the masses as 'that guy who throw@aalways revered by the industry, but Paterson has no regrets: 'I like to think that although I present as a showman, it's not really a show – it's actually 100% passion. As long as it's remembered in the right way, and people walk away learning something for the first time, I'll be happy.'
Drenching carpets in whisky, threatening death if a glass is held 'incorrectly' and pulling party poppers as unsuspecting consumers taste whisky, are all techniques Paterson developed at a time when wine hogged the limelight. His ambition was to give a little of that airtime over to whisky.
'I suppose Richard the showman emerged in the '70s. Back then the reaction was always "oh, here's a bloody whisky guy, what's he going to teach me? I'm here for the wine." But they looked at whisky for the first time, and they changed their minds.'
For the past 12 months The Paterson Show has been on a world tour, visiting Europe, Asia and America in honour of its star's 50th year in the whisky industry. At the centre of the celebration is the launch of The Dalmore 50 Year Old, a £50,000 single malt containing whiskies dating back to 1966. 'It epitomises the care and attention that goes into producing a single malt,' Paterson explains. 'I like to think it's the kind of care and attention I've given to my 50 years in the whisky industry.'
The Dalmore 50 is a milestone whisky for Paterson, but the blender is no stranger to working with malts matured for extended periods. Vintage expressions from the Highland distillery have included 40- to 62-year-old malts, while in 2010 Dalmore Trinitas 64-year-old became the most expensive whisky ever sold at £100,000 per bottle (it's since been usurped by an Imperial decanter (six litres) of Macallan M, which sold for US$628,000 (£381,620) at Sotheby's in Hong Kong in 2014).
Milestone malt: The Dalmore 50 was blended using whiskies dating back to 1966
You could say Paterson is something of an expert at nurturing elderly whiskies, a position he understands to be rare. 'I must stress to you, because a lot of people get misconceptions here, when we talk about malts aged over 25 years, these are rare gems,' he says. 'Not every whisky distillery has these, and the ones that don't have them get jealous and become bitchy at me, and that's the reality, because a lot of them have used [their stocks] up.'
Paterson began his career in the hospitality business, teaching himself about wine while working a seasonal job as a lift attendant at the Atholl Hotel in Pitlochry. Now that knowledge is put to good use – he's one of the pioneers of wine and Sherry cask maturation, and is as passionate about Port and Pinotage as he is malt and grain. 'It doesn't matter if it's Champagne, Burgundy or Bordeaux, I have to know about it,' he says.
I've known Paterson for several years, and for all the times we've spoken – in interviews and over a cup of tea – I've never seen his eyes light up as much as when he's talking about wine and wood.
'The seed was probably planted when I was young, when I went into a warehouse with my father and I saw the silhouettes of the casks, but couldn't see the whisky. They were maturing; I could smell it.' His father Gus ran the family whisky broker WR Paterson & Co., but however strong his first impression of the angels' share, Paterson wasn't wholly sold on following in his father's footsteps with a career in whisky. That changed when at the age of 17 he was pushed into interviewing for a role as an office boy with Glasgow blender and merchant A. Gillies & Co. 'A lot of people said "you just got this job because of your father, you know nothing". Now that was a real insult.'
Paterson knew that to prove himself he had to go above and beyond his peers, even if just to fit in. He set about teaching himself as much about whisky and wine as possible, although the task wasn't so easy in the late 1960s. 'At that time there were no books on wine, nothing like you guys have now.'
His early dedication to education is evident in his acclaimed knowledge today, as well as the many awards in his and Whyte & Mackay's trophy cabinet. However Paterson, despite the poise and performance, still carries those early taunts with him.
'Even today I'm still that boy,' he says. 'I think it's the determination to prove to my dad that I've achieved something. But I still don't feel like I've achieved it, you see.'
His father passed away in 1994, just months before Paterson received the Spirit of Scotland award from the International Wine & Spirit Competition. 'He had worked hard to build up the whisky industry and therefore I always wanted to show him what I had done,' Paterson muses.
What would your father make of your achievements if he could see you today? 'I think he would be proud, but he would also think "you're selling that kind of whisky for that kind of money? You must be off your head!" He'd probably have a fright in his gravestone if he knew some of the prices that we were doing.'
The price of whisky has soared since Gus Paterson traded stocks from his Glasgow warehouses, just as single malts have emerged as a growth driver for the industry. When Paterson started out at A. Gillies & Co. back in 1966, his future, as far as he saw it, would always be in blends. It's the mainstay of Whyte & Mackay's portfolio, but the popularity of malts hasn't won any favouritism from Paterson.
'I'd like to see the growth of single malts continue on, but it really hurts me a wee bit to see the bad feedback that blended whiskies sometimes get,' he says. 'After all it still accounts for 90% of the market. The same expertise goes into making a blend as a single malt, so they deserve the same respect. It's the same with grain whisky – thanks to Haig Club they've risen dramatically, but there's still little sensitivity about them.'
As yet only Cameronbridge (the distillery behind Haig Club) and Girvan have put themselves behind a single grain bottling. With Invergordon in the Whyte & Mackay portfolio, will Paterson top off his 50-year career by ticking another Scotch category off his list? 'Yeah, providing we've got the right age, and I'm talking 15-20-years-old.'
Grain whisky aside, Paterson agrees the rise of single malts has been one of the most significant developments in Scotch whisky in the last 50 years, yet innovation will continue to evolve as consumers become 'more demanding'.
'The consumer is getting far more daring, and is prepared to look at single malts that have a different edge or finish. Because of that all of us are working hard to please them. Whether it be finishes or in Glenmorangie's case with Bill Lumsden's use of chocolate barley.
'There's going to be even more pressure with all the small boutique distilleries opening – about 30 in Scotland, and another 30 in Ireland and another 1,000 in America. All these guys are struggling to get that difference and they are becoming even more experimental. We've got that to contend with but you've still got to hold onto your traditions without letting it become staid.'
Nurturing talent: Gregg Glass is being primed to take over the reins from Paterson
December 2017
A bottle of 62-year-old Dalmore single malt has sold for £114,000 at auction, doubling its pre-sale estimate and making it the most expensive bottle of whisky sold to date by Christie's.
Dalmore 62 Year Old The Kildermorie
Water source: The Kildermorie's name refers to the loch near the Dalmore distillery
The Dalmore, The Kildermorie, Aged 62 Years, was one of only 12 bottles created by Dalmore master blender Richard Paterson from casks of single malt laid down in 1868, 1878, 1926 and 1939.
The 12 bottles, released by the Highland distillery in 2002, were each named after a key feature of Dalmore – Kildermorie being the nearby loch which is the distillery's water source.
This bottle was sold by Christie's in London last week for £114,000 (including buyer's premium), double its pre-sale estimate of £40,000-60,000.
Christopher Munro, head of Christie's London wine department, labelled the sum paid for the whisky 'astonishing' and said it was the highest price yet paid for a single bottle of whisky at Christie's.
Another of the 12 bottles – The 12 Pointer, referring to Dalmore's stag emblem – was sold by Sotheby's in London in September this year for £91,650.
However, both sums fall short of the S$250,000 (£125,000) paid at Singapore's Changi Airport for another of the 12 bottles in 2011, at the height of the luxury spending boom in the Far East.
Last week's Christie's auction also featured a number of Macallan single malts, many bottled for the Italian market.
A bottle of Macallan 37 Year Old Fine & Rare, distilled in 1940, fetched £19,200, a little short of its pre-sale high estimate, while a two-bottle lot of Macallan 18 Year Old, one distilled in 1970 and the other in 1972, both bottled for Giovinetti & Figli, sold for £3,120, more than double the pre-sale high estimate.
With innovation at the forefront of Paterson's mind, but with the celebration of his 70th birthday impending, Whyte & Mackay turned to appointing an understudy – his eventual successor – from one of the industry's most forward-thinking companies. Gregg Glass, former whisky maker at Compass Box, joined Paterson in December 2016.
'We had to think about the future in the same way as William Grant did with David Stewart and Brian Kinsman. Gregg comes from the Dalmore area, and has a background with an innovative whisky company. Compass Box is quite a small company and therefore they've had to get their products right. They've had to be aggressive and have an edge over the competition. That was our main attraction to him.'
With Glass lined up as his successor, and a solid 50 years under his belt, is retirement finally beckoning Paterson? It's a question he's asked frequently.
'I'd like to do 50 years with Whyte & Mackay first, so I still have three years yet. It won't be a quick fix – it will be when I feel it's right. The company will be in safe hands but it has to be in hands that know exactly what they're doing. You get a lot of pressure in this role, and I'm not putting Gregg in that position until I know he's fully familiar with every aspect.'
Paterson's 50th anniversary with Whyte & Mackay will arrive in September 2020, just eight months after his 71st birthday. With so much to celebrate, the next few years may see an encore for the Paterson World Tour, perhaps even a new Dalmore expression blended with the aid of the birthday book to compliment his personality?
The entry for those born on 31 January really is uncanny: 'It is not only their looks, bearing or sense of style that attracts others but rather the beauty of their creations… Still, they often get the idea that they are not really being appreciated for themselves, for what they value most inside.'
Paterson's undeniable passion for his job, for whisky and the industry is clear, but perhaps not so transparent is a determination to prove his worth. Why, when he's achieved more than most dare to hope? Was it the pressure of filling his father's shoes or satisfying increasing demands from consumers, or simply because it is really written in the stars?
'I suppose I always just wanted to show that I didn't just get that job because of my father,' he says, 'and I've never rested on that.'
March 2018
Luxury-focused Highland single malt Dalmore is releasing a 45-year-old expression, The Dalmore 45, priced at £10,000 a bottle.
The Dalmore 45
Hand-blown: The 500 decanters were designed by French crystal house Baccarat
Created by master distiller Richard Paterson and described by him as 'flawless perfection', the whisky was initially matured in American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, then transferred into two Graham's Port Colheita (vintage tawny) pipes, which date from 1961 and 1963.
Finally, the whisky was married in first-fill American white oak ex-Bourbon casks, and 'purposefully' bottled at 40% abv.
Paterson said: 'By personally selecting the very finest American white oak ex-Bourbon casks and Port Colheita pipes from 1961 and 1963, I have been able to create a truly unique expression which is indulgent and smooth with a vibrant and lively flavour profile.
'It takes time, dedication and passion to create an expression like The Dalmore 45, and age has gracefully matured this distinguished spirit to make it one of The Dalmore's greatest aged spirits. This is a very special whisky, which I would describe as flawless perfection.'
Only 500 decanters, hand-blown and designed by French crystal house Baccarat, will be available worldwide.
September 2016
Dalmore owner Whyte & Mackay has appointed Gregg Glass, whisky maker at Compass Box, as blender and whisky maker working under master blender Richard Paterson.
Gregg Glass Compass Box
Gregg Glass: The Compass Box whisky maker will move to Whyte & Mackay in December
Glass, who joined Compass Box Whisky as whisky maker in 2005, will join Whyte & Mackay on 1 December 2016, reporting to Paterson.
Glass is being trained as Paterson's successor for when the time comes for him to retire.
However, Whyte & Mackay has made no announcement regarding any plans for Paterson – who celebrated 50 years of working in whisky earlier this month – to step down in the near future.
Glass will be based mainly in Glasgow, but will also travel and provide support to Paterson when needed.
A statement from Whyte & Mackay said: 'Gregg has gained a wealth of experience within the whisky industry most recently with Compass Box Whisky where he was whisky maker based in London.
'Richard will be sharing the stories, knowledge and skills that he has learned over the last 50 years with Gregg in order to preserve the legacy of Whyte & Mackay. However, there will be no change to Richard's role and he has no plans to hand over the reins.
'Gregg's appointment is designed to support Richard and allow him to focus his time on the things he loves, including creating new whiskies and promoting Scotch whisky to the world.'
After graduating with a Master of Arts from Glasgow University, Glass achieved his General Certificate in Distilling and is currently working toward an Institute of Brewing and Distilling Diploma.
He also spent time as a seasonal tour guide at Glen Ord distillery while studying at university.l.

The Dalmore Valour, The Dalmore Regalis, The Dalmore Lucea, The Dalmore Dominium
The roots of whisky go deep in Easter Ross, home of fabled Ferintosh and now the location of a diverse collection of distilleries, including Glenmorangie, Dalmore and Balblair. Iain Russell outlines the region's chequered whisky history.
Balblair was one of only two legal distilleries in Easter Ross to outlast the 1820s
Once upon a time, long before people talked of Speyside and the other famous whisky regions, there was Ferintosh.
During the 1700s, Ferintosh became the popular generic name for good Highland whisky, much as Glenlivet was to become a century later. The name disappeared from the whisky market long ago; nevertheless, the legacy of Ferintosh was to have a profound influence on the social and economic history of Easter Ross, the broad and fertile coastal plain which includes the famous Black Isle peninsula and lies to the north of Inverness. And Easter Ross remains one of the most diverse, if under-appreciated, whisky-producing regions of Scotland today.
In the 18th century, it was said that more whisky was made in the 16 distilleries on the Ferintosh Estate, near Dingwall, than in the whole of the rest of Scotland. Such was its mythical status that the 17th-century traveller Martin Martin reported:
'The children of Ferintosh… are taught in their infancy to drink aquavitae and are never observed to be troubled with worms.'
Its praises were sung by some of the most influential figures in 18th-century Scottish culture, including Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.
The lands of Ferintosh had been virtually exempted from excise duty in 1690, as compensation to the local laird for damages done to the estate by Jacobite soldiers during the so-called 'Glorious Revolution'.
The advent of rail helped distilleries such as Glenmorangie to prosper
The exemption encouraged the development of a thriving distilling industry, and the historian Ian Mowat estimated that about 1,000 people were employed in distilling there at its peak.
The ending of the privilege in 1784 did not put a stop to whisky making – it simply encouraged distillers to continue making 'Ferintosh' elsewhere in the region, either with or (more usually) without an excise licence.
The growth of the illicit whisky industry in the early 19th century had serious social consequences for Easter Ross. It created a climate of lawlessness in which a large part of the population became involved in the manufacture or sale of illicit spirits.
Excise raids uncovered unlicensed stills and casks of illicit whisky hidden under beds, in middens and in privies in houses all across the region. Local newspapers regularly carried stories of violent confrontations between excisemen and whisky 'free traders', in towns as well as in the countryside.
Meanwhile, local landowners, including the Sheriff of Ross-shire himself, were accused of failing to punish unlicensed distillers and dealers (who were often their tenants or their customers) when they appeared in the local courts.
It was that said that more offenders were prosecuted in Dingwall than anywhere else in Scotland – and the town became home to 'swarms of lawyers', attracted by the plentiful demand for their services.
Those not involved in the illegal manufacture of whisky were very often engaged in its sale and consumption, and local newspapers carried startling tales of drunkenness and depravity.
Production at Balblair was moved to benefit from the railway
Captain Hugh Munro, owner of Teaninich distillery, complained that even the public houses in Dingwall and Tain, the largest towns in the area, sold only smuggled whisky to their customers.
Illicit whisky makers easily undercut the prices of the dozens of new licensed distillers, driving the latter out of business to the extent that only two – Balblair (founded in 1790) and Teaninich (1821) – remained active by the end of the 1820s.
It took until the 1830s for the excise authorities to stamp out illicit distilling in all but the more remote parts of Easter Ross, and for entrepreneurs to invest once more in licensed distilleries. Glen Ord was founded in 1838 and Dalmore the following year – both by landowners seeking to develop the demand for their tenants' barley.
Glenmorangie was established at Morangie Farm in 1843 by William Matheson, an experienced distiller who had learned his trade at Balblair and knew how profitable it could be to combine farming and distilling.
Initially, the licensed distillers sold their spirits primarily to local customers. In 1864, however, the forerunner of the Highland Railway connected all the distilleries in the area to Inverness and the south. Highland whisky from Easter Ross soon found its way to all parts of the UK, and was shipped to customers overseas in the US, Australia and New Zealand.
Teaninich is one of the distilleries in the region to be expanded in recent years
The opening of new markets led to a boom in the industry in Easter Ross in the late 19th century. Balblair was rebuilt in 1872; Dalmore doubled in size in 1874 and was extended again in 1894; Glenmorangie was rebuilt in 1887; and Glen Ord was rebuilt by new owners after 1896 to four times the size of the original.
A new distillery, Ben Wyvis (subsequently renamed Ferintosh) was founded near Dingwall in 1879, and Glenskiach, at Evanton, in 1896.
But the good times did not last…
The Easter Ross distilleries suffered years of hardship in the first half of the 20th century, during two World Wars and one of the deepest worldwide recessions in history.
All were mothballed for various periods, but only Ferintosh and Glenskiach failed to reopen. The others recovered with the blended Scotch whisky boom that followed the Second World War, and with the growing interest in single malts from the 1970s.
A different kind of whisky distilling came to Easter Ross in the early 1960s, with the opening of a new grain distillery – the first in the Highlands, and the largest in Europe.
Invergordon distillery was conceived as a bold initiative to help alleviate unemployment in the town and to support the ailing farming industry of the eastern Highlands. Invergordon (which briefly included a single malt distillery, Ben Wyvis) grew rapidly to employ, at its peak, 400 men and women.
GlenWyvis is reviving the regional tradition of small-scale whisky making
The success of Invergordon encouraged the location of other industries in the area, permitting much-needed diversification in the local economy. It also provided further demand for high-quality malting barley, encouraging farmers to specialise in the crop.
Two farmer-owned co-operatives were set up – The Black Isle Grain Group, in 1977, and Easter Ross Grain, in 1988 – to develop local resources and expertise. They amalgamated in the 1990s to create Highland Grain Ltd, which has established Easter Ross' reputation as a centre of excellence in the production and supply of this vital whisky ingredient.
Today, the industry in Easter Ross continues to grow and develop. There have been major expansion projects in recent years at Glen Ord, Teaninich and Glenmorangie. At Invergordon, owner Whyte & Mackay has announced an ambitious modernisation programme, albeit including a number of redundancies.
Meanwhile, there are signs of a revival of the 'Ferintosh' tradition of small-scale whisky production: Heather Nelson is building the Toulvaddie Distillery at Fearn, near Nigg, and the crowdfunded and energy self-sufficient GlenWyvis, near Dingwall, opened in 2017 and promises to become one of the leading and most innovative lights in the new wave of Scottish 'craft' distilleries

A unique 49-year-old expression created in partnership between Dalmore master blender Richard Paterson and Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura has raised £108,900 for charity at auction.
Proceeds from the auction of Dalmore L'Anima will help fight food waste
The one-off bottle of Dalmore L'Anima – meaning soul in Italian – was sold by Sotheby's in London through an online auction that closed on Thursday night (9 May).
The proceeds will go to Food for Soul, a non-profit organisation that encourages local communities to fight against food waste and poverty through the establishment of 'meal centres', which use surplus groceries to make dishes for vulnerable people.
Bottura, who owns the three-Michelin starred Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, is the founder of Food for Soul.
Dalmore L'Anima is said to have been inspired by the conversations between Paterson and Bottura over their 'shared creativity' and 'understanding of flavour'.
The expression is described as embodying 'the chocolate orange profile' of the Highland distillery, while being layered with flavours 'reminiscent of Bottura's kitchen and beloved Italian produce'.
'When Massimo and I first started discussing this collaboration it was clear we shared a passion to celebrate life by creating incredible food and drink,' Paterson said.
'It's important too that Food for Soul benefit from the success at auction, ensuring more people can share in the simple yet wonderful moment of sharing a meal with people you care about.'
The single malt was created using Dalmore whiskies married in ex-Bourbon barrels, ex-Gonzalez Byass Sherry casks which previously held 40-year-old ex-Pedro Ximénez Sherry, and ex-Graham's vintage Port pipes.
Dalmore L'Anima is described as having 'sun-kissed raisins, bitter chocolate and old English marmalade' on the nose and a palate of 'Java coffee, Demerara sugar, pecan pie and crème brûlée'.
The expression was bottled at a natural cask strength of 41.5% abv in a crystal decanter with a sterling silver collar, stopper and silver stag.
The decanter was presented in a cabinet made from Italian olive wood, American black walnut and ebony by Scottish furniture maker John Galvin.
In addition to the whisky, the successful bidder also received an invitation for dinner for two at Bottura's restaurant.
Osteria Francescana was voted the world's best restaurant in 2016 and 2018 by The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards.
The awards panel also included Osteria Francescana on its Best of the Best list for 2019
February 2019
Dalmore master blender Richard Paterson has partnered with renowned Michelin-starred Italian chef Massimo Bottura to produce a one-of-a-kind bottle for auction.
Unique whisky: Just one bottle of Dalmore L'Anima has been created to raise funds for Food for Soul
Dalmore L'Anima Aged 49 Years is a unique bottling which will be auctioned at Sotheby's this spring, with all proceeds donated to Bottura's non-profit organisation Food for Soul.
The single malt is a marriage of Dalmore whiskies matured in ex-Bourbon barrels, Gonzalez Byass Sherry casks, which previously held 40-year-old Pedro Ximinez Sherry, and Graham's vintage Port pipes.
Dalmore L'Anima – meaning soul in Italian – is said to have been inspired by Paterson and Bottura's 'shared creativity' and 'understanding of flavour', with a palate of 'freshly brewed Java coffee, Demerara sugar, pecan pie and crème brûlée', reminiscent of Bottura's cooking.
Bottura, who owns the three-Michelin starred Osteria Francescana in Modena, voted the best restaurant in the world by the World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards in 2018, said: 'Our creative processes seamlessly fused together with our passion and deep understanding of flavour complexity and connection to create a very special bottle that brings together some of the most precious Scotch whisky barrels in the world.'
Paterson added: 'Bottura's approach to deconstructing and reinventing daring food pairings is very similar to the way I approach whisky making.
'The coming together of our passions allowed me to create a whisky that is bold, different, full of warmth and completely unforgettable – it is a true reflection of the love, blood and balsamic that unites us.'
Creative synergy: Massimo Bottura and Richard Paterson share a similar approach to flavour
The expression is bottled at 41.5% abv and presented in a crystal decanter in a handcrafted Italian Olive Wood, American Black Walnut and solid Ebony cabinet made by Scottish craftsman John Galvin.
It will be auctioned by Sotheby's between 25 April and 9 May without a reserve. Display bottles will be available for viewing at Sotheby's New York and Hong Kong, with the original bottling on display in London.
Bottura's Food for Soul project encourages communities to simultaneously fight against food waste and poverty through the establishment of local 'soup kitchens', which turn surplus food into gourmet dishes to feed vulnerable people.
The project began with Refettorio Ambrosiano in Milan, which operated using food waste from the Expo2015 world fair, with further activations created in Modena, Bologna, Naples as well as Rio de Janeiro, London and Paris.

Highland single malt Dalmore has teased the release of three new permanent whiskies into travel retail, each featuring between three and five cask finishes.
Dalmore travel retail whiskies The Trio The Quartet The Quintet
Royal inspiration: Dalmore's new travel retail range takes its cues from King Alexander III
The three no-age-statement Dalmore whiskies – The Trio, The Quartet and The Quintet – are said to have been inspired by the distillery's King Alexander III expression, which is matured in six different cask types.
Dalmore The Trio has been matured in three different types of cask: first-fill ex-Bourbon, 10-year-old tawny Port and 30-year-old matuselum Sherry.
It will be available in one-litre bottles for around £69.99/ €78.99/ US$94.99.
Dalmore The Quartet, which is described as 'refined and fragrant' with a 'rich flavour profile of red grapes and juicy raisins', has been matured in four cask types: first-fill ex-Bourbon, 30-year-old matusalem Sherry, 30-year-old apostoles Sherry and Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks.
It will be available for around £84.99/ €95.99/US$109.99 for a one-litre bottle.
Lastly, Dalmore The Quintet is said to have flavours of 'exotic fruits drenched in maple syrup', owing to its maturation in ex-moscatel, malmsey madeira, 30-year-old matusalem Sherry, 10-year-old Port and Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon casks.
The expression will be available in 70cl bottles for around £99.99/€112.99/ US$129.99.
The new range, which won't appear in travel retail until July 2020, is said to showcase the distillery's 'unbroken vision to pioneering exquisite cask curation'.
Dalmore's King Alexander III is already available to purchase in travel retail as well as domestic shops globally.

Cabinet is who make the decisions on the direction the government goes, what legislation is instigated etc. Just like not all labour MP's are in cabinet, it essentially denotes your unwritten 'authority' within the government of the day.
The executive are of the government is made up of Ministers and their departments and should be viewed as a separate body to the legislative arm of government, which includes all MP's, government & opposition.
the executive's role is to decide on policy and if necessary bring forward legislation to enable those policies, the legislative's roles is to scrutinise the actions of the executive.
In answer to your question, being in cabinet is a coveted position because you can influence the direction of the government, but to be a minister is also a privilege because you are responsible for your department and essentially have control of policy within your area of jurisdiction, but to be in cabinet does not require you to be part of the coalition. So for the green's their ministerial posts are just a reward for promising to give heir confidence vote to the labour-nzf coalition

I had a medical abortion and absolutely regret it.
Editor's CommentThis sounds a very painful and frightening experience, and you were not prepared very well with a clear explanation of possible pain and blood loss to expect. A medical abortion that takes place at home does not have the facility for stronger pain relief, or for reassurance from health care professionals.
I would encourage you to find some post abortion counselling so that you can process some of these painful emotions, and mental pictures you have been left with.

For those with moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, Dr. Howard Holderness will provide Dysport® in Greensboro, North Carolina. Dysport is a prescription injection that is proven to smooth the appearance of frown lines without changing the look of the rest of the face. The untreated muscles will continue to work normally, so you can use facial expressions. Dysport provides a natural look, not a frozen face.
Dysport treats frown lines by reducing the activity of specific muscles. Wrinkles can appear in both older and younger adults because they are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. With Dysport, there is an injection into each of five points between and above the eyebrows. This temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines, but leaves the rest of the face to move naturally. In just one 10- to 20-minute treatment, your frown lines can be lessened for up to four months. Most patients will see improvement in their frown lines just two to three patients. There is little to no downtime after treatment, so it does not interfere with your life.
We welcome you to contact Holderness Plastic Surgery and Skin Centre today to learn more about Dysport and to schedule a consultation with our plastic surgeon.

Yesterday was industry party day and Adi and I made it two fabulous events. First, we attended the annual Leather Craftsmen (the best album company in the world!) party at the Robert Evans Studio. Robert is one of the kindest photographers in the industry and helped Adi and I twice in our early career. First, he helped us with a celebrity wedding contract and then he helped me with a gallery report assignment I had when I was in photography school. He just recently shot Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding! What a superstar.
Later that evening Adi and I attended the Cake Crumbs Holiday Party, hosted together with our favorite bridal expert, Harmony from the Bridal Bar, and Thea Lignos, the Editor-in-Chief of the phenomenal Your Wedding Day Magazine!
Adi and I with the ever adorable Jules Bianchi.

FMGC stands for Fast Moving Consumer Goods and basically encapsulates any consumer goods with a low margin and high volume, meaning that jobs in FMCG can be varied. For the consumer, it relates to anything that is frequently purchased at a competitive price that has a short life and is rapidly consumed. Examples of FMCG are personal care, home care , foods, dairy products, alcoholic beverages, processed items, bags, watches, clothes, accessories, perfume, kitchenware, cosmetics, soft drinks and coffee, the list is endless, but broken down basically anything that you buy in a store that is frequently purchased.
Jobs in FMCG could start with supermarket and convenience store workers such as cashiers, shelf stackers and shift supervisors. More examples of FMCG jobs are shop assistants in a clothing store, pharmacists, or a sales representatives for a pharmaceutical companies or beer companies. But the jobs in FMCG only start there. To actually get the products onto the shelves takes a lot of behind the scenes work. For example, many of the brands will have been imported from neighbouring countries or even further, but as many of the FMCG goods are perishable, they need to be moved quickly, meaning there are jobs available in warehouses and logistics.
Since Myanmar began to allow for foreign trade and investment, many international companies have set up here to simplify the manufacturing and distribution process. For example Nestle, Kellogs, P&G, Kraft, Heineken, Pepsi and Coke, creating further jobs in FMCG in Myanmar, especially in the corporate functions.
Did you know that apparently Myanmar's consuming (sometimes referred to as emerging middle class) will reach 19 million people by 2030, which is up from 2.5 million in 2010? This means that there is much competition (especially from international brands) for the higher disposable income of this class that may be emerging. Amongst the younger generations, foreign brands and labels may be seen as somewhat of a status symbol, which means that the opportunities for jobs in FMCG go way and beyond warehouse and manufacturing.
Jobs in FMCG are in abundance, and there are many opportunities available depending on what one's speciality is. For example, to work in a shop or a convenience store does not require any formal education, but good communication skills and in the case of brands a fit with the brand image. However to work in one of the corporate functions (such as accounting and finance) for international companies normally requires a tertiary education. For getting a job at Coca-Cola as a marketing assistant is highly competitive as not only is it an international company, but one of the most recognised and established brands un the world, so solid marks as well as a command on the English language is a starting point.
All of the aforementioned companies have great opportunities (especially in Yangon) as they provide career development as well as perhaps opportunities to work abroad.
You will receive these jobs in 24 hours.

48 hours a day
If you are like me, you've often wishes there were 48 hours in a day instead of just 24. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done that you want. Since we just have about 16 hours a day not counting sleep time, it's important how we use the time we have.
On the average, people waste about 2 hours a day. This is mainly from poor planning. If a person is unorganized, they waste time trying to find things, they miss appointments, they only do one thing at a time when they could be doing two.
Work smart
Good time management is a major building block to success. Oftentimes, it's not how much time we spend working but how efficiently we do the work. The key to successful time management is careful planning and setting priorities.
Plan your day, your week, and your month in advance. Know when things need to be done. A great way to "buy time" is to multi-task. Do more than one thing at a time. There are many things that do not require concentrated mental effort. It is possible to do things simultaneously.
"Failing to plan is planning to fail,"
– unknown
Even though I am a big pro basketball fan, I can't justify sitting down and spending three hours watching a game. I have to be doing other things while I do it. Thank goodness for instant replay! I find it a good time to spend icing injuries or some other busy work.
It is also possible to record the games and watch them while exercising. I exercise about 30 minutes a day so during the basketball season I can watch a game during the week without wasting any time doing it.
When you run errands try to do as many as you can on one trip. If you are self-employed, you can combine personal errands that are on the way to a business errand and have the mileage written off as a business expense.

When patients consider plastic surgery or medical aesthetic interventions, the firrst thing they want to know is how they will look after the procedure. Accordingly, before and after images—whether they are posted on websites, displayed in reception area look books or shared during consultations—have become one of the most powerful patient education and practice growth tools available to practitioners.
Early on, Polaroids and handheld 35mm cameras were the only option for physicians who wanted to document patient outcomes and promote their skills through photography, but in the past 20 years, imaging has evolved by leaps and bounds.
Today's imaging systems not only help practices capture consistent, high-quality before and after images, they go under the skin to reveal hidden damage, offer 3D simulations of potential outcomes, and provide tools that help practices convert prospective patients and improve both communication and patient satisfaction.
Support for Professional Recommendations
Perhaps the greatest benefit of current imaging systems is that they allow patients to see the effects of aging and the potential outcome of treatments on their own faces, rather than those of former patients. "It has been our experience that nothing is more impactful on a patient or prospective patient than a photograph of their own face," says Jim Larkey, director of product management and marketing at Canfield Scientific.
One of the first next-generation innovations in facial photography was the development of facial imaging systems with polarized photography. These systems typically feature a chin rest and rotating camera, so practitioners can take consistent facial photos from different angles. In addition, they allow for both traditional and polarized photography to reveal underlying skin damage and track changes in wrinkle depth.
There are several facial imaging systems with polarized photography capabilities available today, including Canfield's VISIA Complexion Analysis System and Reveal Imager, the Image Pro from Emage Medical, and FotoFinder's Aesthetic Face and Aesthetic Deluxe. "These are great for medspas and practices that do face and neck work only," says Ferdinand Mayer, vice president of FotoFinder Systems. "Our rotatable camera allows for photographs from different angles without the patient having to move."
Cross polarization eliminates glare on the skin, which makes it easier to see blood vessels, such as telangiectasia as well as pigment on the face. Parallel polarization helps to enhance the skin texture "so you can see fine lines and skin pores even better than you do on a regular photo," says Mayer. "The Aesthetic Face system allows you to track progress of the patient—you can see improvement and show patients before and after images side by side. It's also great for consultations because you can show patients the polarized photos in the initial consult."
In recent years, Canfield added the TruSkin Age comparison tool to its VISIA Complexion Analysis System. The company gathered a large amount of photographical data and used this to develop skin aging models. "At this point hundreds of thousands of pictures have been taken since the VISIA launch, and by analyzing those pictures we have developed models for different skin types and age cohorts," says Larkey.

"The reality is that these high profile assaults on police officers are not irregular or unusual – we must #ProtectTheProtectors"
Over the Christmas period, Staffordshire Police have seen a significant number of serious assaults on Officers. Keith Jervis, Chairman of Staffordshire Police Federation, outlines the impact this is having on the officers and the service they can provide to the public.
"In this Christmas period alone, we've had one officer who had his jaw dislocated, an Officer who had his leg broken resulted in him needing an operation, and one officer who's likely going to be off long-term sick with a fractured wrist. And these are just some of the more serious assaults."
"The reality is that these assaults are not irregular or unusual. This is happening every day to our Officers, and every time the impact to the Force is so significant."
"Staffordshire has lost so many officers because of government cuts. This force, at its maximum, stood at about 2,400, and it is now down to roughly 1,600."
"Whenever we have an Officer that goes off on long-term sick, having been assaulted and injured, the shift feels a significant effect because numbers are already so short."
"When a shift only comprises of four or five people, losing one Officer to injury puts significant demand on the others, and of course increased risk. Where at some point there may have been sufficient numbers to double-crew, losing an Officer now leaves the supervisors no option but to single-crew everybody."
"Perpetrators are less likely to take on two officers that turn up at an incident. When you come across two people involved in a confrontation and you are on your own, the risk is that you've got to get involved and you are outnumbered straight away. Statistically that's borne out."
"In Staffordshire, our Chief Constable now puts his own statement on all files that go to the CPS when a police officer's assaulted to highlight the significant impact each injury has in terms of policing, that, ultimately, we can't resource as we should be due to lack of Officers."
"We need to paint this picture for the court. They need to understand what the ramifications are when a police officer gets assaulted. We've seen so many farcical punishments dished out by the court in recent months. One offender back was fined £50, and it was his fourth conviction for assaulting a police officer."
"The likelihood now is that you absolutely will not go to prison if you assault a police officer. The latest figures show that only 1 in 20 occasions where an officer was assaulted, the offender was to serve any term of imprisonment, it's shocking."
"It really is time that laws regarding Officers assaults were taken seriously. We need to Protect the Protectors."

By Tori Linville
Anyone who's ever grown (or tried to grow) a vegetable or flower garden almost always thinks of the actual fruits of labor first: the beautiful pops of colorful flowers or the delicious tomatoes, strawberries or other veggies. After all, that's ultimate reward for all the hard work. What some might not think about right away, however, is the fact that predators are also lying in wait, and they have the potential to uproot everything. What can be done? Certain insects, birds and yes, even snakes can be helpful to your garden. These are a few of the best agents you'll want to see bustling in your plants.
Put simply, the best insects for a garden are the ones that promote the good and destroy the bad. This can range from a number of multi-legged assistants, so we narrowed it down to the top three. As always, research is key before introducing any pesticides to your garden.
These little bugs as adults have large, veiny wings that take up the majority of their body composition. They feed on flower nectar to keep their stamina. The benefit comes with lacewing larvae. These bug babies feed on a variety of garden enemies like aphids, moth eggs, small caterpillars, mites and more.
Predatory Bugs
Predatory bugs is an all encompassing term, of course, but one that means a lot to the average garden. A few of these are pirate bugs, ambush bugs, soldier bugs, big-eyed bugs, etc. The majority take on some variation of what looks to be a type of beetle. These insects are important because they destroy harmful bugs such as tomato hornworms, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, etc. These bugs stick to bunched grasses and other permanent plantings. These types are so important that a lure has been made to attract soldier bugs to gardens.
Ground Beetles
Ground Beetles are long-legged and shiny and hard to miss. They hide in the dark under logs and other shelters during the day, and scurry to safety when disturbed. These helpers eat root maggots, slugs, snails and more. To amp up your ground beetle population, simply providing ground covers such as stones or logs will do the trick.
While these are just a few, other helpers such as ladybugs, honeybees, spiders and more can all be a great help to garden threats.
Virtually all of a bird's diet consists of insects, so almost every bird can help a garden in some way. Narrowing down the list from the obvious always helps, but experts say there's no straightforward answer. Every garden and bird is different, so hoping for the best and providing welcoming accommodations for winged friends is helpful. We've some birds that can help your garden grow beautifully with by targeting garden pests.
These beauties can spot grasshoppers from 100 feet away – a good agent to have for your garden. Bluebirds prefer open areas and low perches in order to attack prey. Adding a fence or tomato trellis can do the trick to attract these grasshopper enemies.
This common bird has a diet that is almost all insects and spiders. They aren't selective and will nest anywhere that's comfortable. They gravitate towards low-lying shrubs and brush piles that provide good cover
Almost everyone has either seen a hummingbird feeder or even has one. Put it to better use by moving it near your garden to reap the benefits. These little racers enjoy varied diets of aphids, gnats and fruit flies.
While these birds are helpful, they will only be attracted to environments that suit their needs. A water source combined with various opportunities for nesting in brush piles, dead trees and other places can be attractive.
These curvy reptiles aren't on most peoples' list of cuddly creatures to approach. So finding one in your garden can be surprising, but isn't a reason for alarm. Usually snakes found in a garden are actually doing you a favor. The serpents eat insects and rodents that can inflict damage on a garden. They do so without ever burrowing holes, trampling plants or damaging the environment in any way.
The most common snakes found in the garden are garter snakes and certain constrictors. Garter snakes, often called 'gardener snakes,' and other related snakes such as ribbon snakes, green snakes and others can be found. These snakes eat mostly insects with the occasional mouse thrown in for good measure.
Constrictor snakes such as King snakes, Rat snakes and others live on rodents that can harm a garden.
The most important thing to remember is that if you come across a snake, it's most likely more terrified than you are. The different species listed above are all reclusive and non-aggressive animals. Additionally, most snakes in the U.S. are nonpoisonous, so simply returning at a later time is the best course of action if you spot a snake in your garden.
