Contrary to the impression Ryan had gotten during his visit, nanoverse staging areas weren't the only way to get to Empyrean Provocation, or even a particularly common way. While the club was designed by dieties and meant to allow their kind to have their fun, other beings from across human mythology spent their time here – Angels, Demons, Aesir, Daeva, Fae, Vampires, Nephelem, and Magi were just a fraction of the beings that wanted a place where they could get drunk without mortal shoving their noses into things.
Since it served such a diverse clientel, Empyrean Provocation had found the need to provide additional means of ingress for those that didn't have access to their own personal universes for travel. As such, a variety of clubs bearing the same name had been established across the world. If a normal mortal went to one, they'd be allowed in through one door that lead to a perfectly bustling club venue. If a mystical being went, they would be allowed in through the other door, to the "VIP Area." Those doors lead to the actual Empyrean Provocation with it's permanent view of the Crab Nebula.
Ever so often, a mistake would be made, and a normal mortal would find themselves here. Said mortal would typically be found hours later, drunk out of their minds, raving about dancing under the stars with inhuman beings. The next day, once they had sobered up, they would typically conclude someone had spiked their drink with a hallucenogen of some sort or another and that would be that.
The doors that lead to Empyrean Provocation on the mortal world were the ones that opened and closed the most, and rarely drew much attention. No one really cared who showed up next, unless they were looking for someone. (This also meant it was hard to sort out where mortals who stumbled in had come from, so if you ever hear of someone going on an legendary bender and waking up in a different city or continent with no idea how they got there, the most common cause was stumbling into the wrong door.)
The exception was the Gilded Doorway, the one established for nanoverse staging areas. When that opened, beings noticed, because a god or goddess had arrived. Most of the beings who frequented the establishment were dangerous in their own right but not on a divine level. If a diety that held a grudge against them wandered in, it would behove them to make an exit before they were noticed.
Crystal didn't have any grudges, and frequented here often enough where the welcome became warm once she walked in. She waved at a few entities she recognized as she headed up to the bar. "Two Umbral Kicks," she said to the bartender, who nodded and turned to get her drink.
The Umbral Kick was the most potent drink offered in all of creation. It was fermented manna mixed with the honeydew Xanadu, then aged in barrels made from dead branches of Yggdrasil and tended to by Sidhe craftspersons. And that was just the part of the brewing process that was known. It was rumored to be two-hundred and fifty proof, and no one wanted to try and explain how it could have a higher alcohol content than its actual volume allowed for. A mortal drinking Umbral Kick, if they survived, often ended up becoming prophets or oracles since it got them so transcendantly drunk they could see through time.
For a goddess, it just a good way to skip the annoying steps of tipsy and buzzed and get straight to the important buisness of getting actually drunk.
A voice to Crystal's left spoke up. "Two Umbral Kicks? I didn't think things were that bad." Crystal turned to the speaker.
The woman was of Chinese descent, wearing a green dress. Her hair was hanging straight save for the small mirrors that had been threaded through it. Crystal smiled as the drinks were placed in front of her. "Dianmu! It's been…was it the Shang Dynasty?"
Dianmu returned the smile brightly. "You left when Wu Ding was coming to power. Said it was time to see what the rest of the world was up to. Promised you'd be back soon." She had her own drink, something less potent than Crystal's order, and took a sip of it. "If you came back to China during the three thousand years since you left, you certainly didn't stop by."
Crystal winced at that. "I did a couple times, love, but was usually in a bit of a rush."
"Innan," Dianmu admonished. "You never got along with the rest of our pantheon. You don't need to pretend."
"It's Crystal now, actually. And…okay, fine, you have me there."
The reluctant admission got a laugh out of the other goddess. "Think that's the first time I've ever heard you admit to being caught in a lie."
"Don't get too used to it, yeah? I've got a reputation to protect."
"Of course. Crystal." Dianmu said the name slowly, like she was testing it out, and then gave a nod. "I like it. It suits you." With that, Dianmu finished her drink in a single gulp and grabbed th other Umbral Kick. "Surely you weren't planning on drinking these both alone?"
"I mean, I bloody well was, but that's before a better offer came along." Crystal held up her glass, and Dianmu reached over so they could clink them together gently. They both took the drink in a single gulp.
"I got your message," Dainmu said, taking a seat as they waited for the Umbral Kick to do its work. "Is it really the End?"
Crystal nodded, already starting to feel the tips of her fingers go numb. "I'll fill you in, though I probably won't be able to get to the end before I'm well past sober."
"Good. I always did enjoy your drunken storytelling." Dainmu settled her chin on her hands. "So…" she prompted.
"So I set up a website to help me find the bloody Eschaton when he or she popped up…" As Crystal told the story, the Umbral Kick did its work, and by the time she got near the end she was swaying in her seat. They both had ordered more drinks to keep their intoxication up. "And then…and then he makes the sword. An, an exact copy of the one I was. That I was. That I had. And it – you probably can bloody guess – it had a Californium hilt."
Dianmu howled with laughter, kicking the bar slightly as she did. "Oh you did not. That's why there's so much fuss! Because you made him nuke himself?"
The nod Crystal gave her had that overblown emphasis only the truely drunk could manage. "And Ryan, he popped a hole in the top of the bubble. So instead of blowing up, instead of…nuking us! Instead of nuking us, the bloody wanker buried himself!" That elicited another round of laughter from Dianmu.
"What'd you do about his, his nanoverse?" The other goddess asked, once she'd gotten her laughter under control. She smiled at Crystal, and after a moment Crystal's grown frown registered for her. "Crystal? What…did I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just…I shouldn't talk about it. Here. I shouldn't talk about it here. It's…it's secret." Crystal held up a finger to her lips and tried to make a shushing sound. It was supposed to come out a quiet whisper, but instead came out closer to a raspberry.
"Well…can we talk about it somewhere else?" Dianmu looked around, almost like she expected to find half the club was now listening in.
"No. Not…not yet. I don't wanna bloody think about it." Sober Crystal, who had been frantically treading in a sea of booze for the last hour, tried to point out how sullen she sounded, but another wave of alochol buried that objection.
"Oooookay." Dainmu gave her a lazy thumbs up. "So…what do you want to, want to think about?"
Crystal didn't want to think anymore. She didn't want to think about the end of the world, about whatever Moloch and Bast were up to, and especially about the posion that was eating at her nanoverse and her mind. "I wanna dance. C'mon." She grabbed Dainmu's hand and hauled her to the dance floor.
Dainmu didn't object. Maybe she was just too drunk herself to do so, or maybe she sensed that her old friend needed this.
So they danced, and the laughed, and they drank more. They spent the rest of the night doing everything they could to feel alive.
They were so intent on enjoying themselves, in fact, neither of them noticed the figure that spent the entire evening doing nothing but watching their every move.

Have a Blast with these MUST-HAVE Apps
JUST in time for your holiday lessons and group activities! Here's a list of must-have apps. Apps have become seamlessly integrated into every lesson plan. So much so, that I hardly set them apart from other teaching tools. It's been a while since I shared my go-to apps for group or private lessons. Here are a few (only a few!) that are rising to the top of the list as of November 2017. Next week, this list could change. :-)
Introduce patterns
Music is all about patterns and as youngsters explore the world of music, they must be ready to detect patterns. Before I introduce Loopimal to students, I ask them to look for patterns on their clothing. Once it's established that they can recognize patterns, I share Loopimal with them. We sit in a circle on the floor and I let each student create their own pattern on the app. Everyone is mesmerized by the dancing animals and catchy loops. Reserve more time than you think when using this app and be ready for students to ask to play with this again and again!
Make your own flashcards
Usually, I use Quizlet during Off Bench time during private/partner lessons but, it could work well in a group setting as well.
When designing a studio theme around the Baroque period, my students read various resources to learn more about 17th century music, art and culture. Every student generated three flash cards based on facts they gathered from the resources in Quizlet using my iPad. Next, students reviewed the content of everyone's cards in Quizlet'sCards and Match study modes. The app offers the option for the cards to be read aloud so even those who struggle with reading could participate in this activity.
The app offers various study modes:
Cards features a standard flash card design with the term on one side and the definition on the other.
Learn requires players to read a definition and type in the correct term.
Match displays six term cards and six definition cards. Players must tap to find matching cards while being timed.
Test offers three testing options: written, multiple choice or true and false. Scores and a list of missed questions are provided.
The ability to customize cards is convenient when preparing students for theory examines. With the option to create Quizletclasses, you canshare study material with your students and they can access the cards on their own devices and you can still track their progress.
If you're in a hurry and need pre-made cards, the app allows you to search for and download sets based on your topic that have already been generated by other students and teachers.
Here are the cards I created to help students prepare for their National Federation of Music Clubs theory tests: Level 1-7 cards
Book Creator
I turn to Book Creator over and over again because it's so easy to generate resources. Anything I create can be read/viewed on the iPad and I frequently reflect the books (via the iPad) on to my HDTV. Learn how here.
Once I determine a topic and the information to include in a resource, I shoot video and photos with the iPad or upload files and add them to a new e-book within Book Creator. After typing in the preferred text, I reposition the layout, chose a font, letter size and color. Usually, I record myself reading the text. When an image or text box is tapped, the voiceovers are played which is ideal for pre-readers.
Both of my ebooks Understanding Intervals and the Full Scoop on Chords were produced with Book Creator. Look for more of my original resources coming your way from Book Creator very soon!
If you want students to view any book at home, Book Creator offers an option to upload your book and share a link.
Here's an e-book I created this summer for my group sight-reading lessons. It was inspired by colleague and friend Thomas Hoops to help students discover their singing voice. It's a little silly but, the students enjoyed singing along with this story.

Review anything you please
When it's time to review concepts, terms, composers, style periods, Kahoot is ideal! Kahoot is an online, game-based learning platform. To begin, set up a free account at kahoot.com. Next, the site points to games other teachers have made and provides an option to create original games or kahoots.
There are four kahoot options:
Quiz for review
Discussion to initiate and facilitate debate
Survey to gather opinions and insight
Jumble to challenge sequential organization skills
Check out a kahoot I created with the "Jumble" option. Below is a screen shot of my computer projecting the game. Students must place the shapes in order on their devices to spell the chord correctly. Points are awarded for speed and accuracy.
When at Kahoot, just search using my name Leila Viss for my kahoot. BTW, you have an option to make games public or private.
The games are made from a series of multiple choice questions you design around any topic of your choosing—music history, rhythm, scales, chords, parts of the piano, etc.The sophisticated platform even allows you to add videos, images and diagrams to your questions.
Project the game from your computer. Before the game begins, a pin number is provided. Players must search for Kahoot online with their device. No app is required but there is one available. Next, students must type in the pin on their mobile device to join the game. Most of my students play this game at school so they are familiar with it and can help you if you have any issues with the app!
Watch the video below--it makes sense once you see it in action.
Heads Up
Ellen DeGeneres produced Heads Up for her show and it makes a terrific family game for holiday fun. The app comes with a variety of game "decks" unrelated to music but, it also allows you to customize a deck so that's why you can use it in your studio. You can purchase additional customizable decks within the app.
While one student holds up the iPad above her head, the other students give her clues of the term that appears on the iPad. The person must guess the term on the basis of the clues. Watch the video below to get the idea.
Master pitch names and reading rhythms
Although I could keep going, I'll close with NinGenius.
Why? The developers just came out with a new drill to build rhythm reading skills. The blocks representing the length of notes and rests within a measure are brilliant and reinforce what I teach about each beat being a column and how rhythm patterns fit within those columns.
Even though students may have their own account and can play as individuals, it's fun to let group members take turns at answering questions on the app and see if they can earn a black belt as a team.
What apps would you add to the list?
Have a blast with these apps!

The Charlotte Hornets just unveiled their new uniforms, and we've got to say we love them. Our favorite part is the embroidered "Buzz City" patch front and center on the shorts. It has almost a monogrammed look, and from a distance looks almost like the shorts are belted.
Take a closer look:
The new trend among basketball teams is to choose a jersey with a sleeve. The Charlotte Hornets choose a mesh pinhole sleeve that will allow for breath-ability and comfort, without constraining the shooting arm.
Are you willing to try sleeves on your next basketball uniform? Why or why not?

It is our great pleasure to share an article from the web site https://www.startingthingsup.com which has published very useful article about the launching of startups. Please, if you would like to read the original article, see directly this LINK.
TThinking of going international? For startup entrepreneurs, the European Union-based ones in particular, Eastern Europe is one of the most popular directions. But what country should they choose?
This article examines the current European business conditions. It also aims to assess the threats and opportunities that the Bloomberg's three Eastern European Best for Business countries provide to the entrepreneurs. The conclusions are based on the data provided by ESM, GEM, and WEF, as well as (of course) Bloomberg (European Edition).
Other sources were quoted as needed.
Time To Go International
In 2015, European startups raised — on average — 2.5 million Euros in external capital. More than half of them were operating on international markets. 8 out of 10 of the remaining half were planning further internationalization in the next 12 months [ESM 2015 REPORT, pg 7]. As of 2016, their earnings have risen up to 2 billion Euros. 77.7% were operating on international markets or planning further internationalization [ESM 2016 REPORT, pgs 6 to 7].
More than 90% have rated their current business situation as good or satisfying [ESM 2016 REPORT, pg 7].
Interestingly: 47.0% of those planning further internationalization intend to expand to other European countries [ESM 2016 REPORT, pg 33].
The meaning behind these statistics is simple:
Some more numbers. 2015 saw 7.6% of startup founders coming from EU countries other than the location of their startup [ESM 2015 REPORT, pg 7]. 2016 saw the share increase by 8.6 percentage points to 16.2%. "79.6% of male founders formed their startup in their country of residence", the European Startup Monitor 2016 report states, "This is only the case for 75.8% of the female founders". Meanwhile: The share of non-EU founders has grown from 4.3% to 4.8%. "The percentage of female founders from non-EU countries (5.5%) is slightly higher than the percentage of male founders from non-EU countries (4.6%)" [ESM 2016 REPORT, pg 42].
"The highest share of non-EU founders was found in Poland (33.3%)" [ESM 2016 REPORT, pg 42].
The pros of well-prepared-well-executed internationalization seem obvious. The reasons to go international — both strategic and financial — are there. The question Should I go international? is no more. The question is: Where to?
For the EU entrepreneurs the answer is simple:
Eastern Europe is the place.
Place To Go International
Eastern Europe is the place indeed. That being said: Some locations are preferable to the others. Some countries can prove to be better.
There is a number of factors that are worth taking into consideration before expanding. The things to consider are numerous and varied. Depending on the profile of their startup, entrepreneurs might find themselves looking into things as far from each other as workforce costs and road infrastructure, not to mention various costs, taxes included. Some of these factors matter more, others — less. Some are important. Others are trivial. The general rule is that the more things we take into account, the better our chances of succeeding. Besides that, there are no rules, there are only pros and cons, differences, threats, and opportunities.
The most attractive Eastern European directions for expansion are Poland and the Czech Republic, with Poland named Bloomberg's Best for Business in East Europe, Czech Republic its close peer. What makes Poland stand out among the other Eastern European countries is — Bloomberg's Piotr Skolimowski reports — its fast-expanding consumer market and fast-improving infrastructure (this includes roads and bridges). The same goes for the Czech Republic. The difference between the two is — the conclusion can be drawn — that the later has suffered much more economic damage due to the global financial crisis of 2008 and the following recession.
The third Bloomberg's Eastern European Best for Business is Hungary. Whether or not it is as good as Poland and the Czech Republic remains questionable. There are reasons to doubt it (some of them — political). That being said: Hungarian regulators are doing a lot to strengthen the bonds between the government and the entrepreneurs. Numerous tax breaks and low workforce/workspace costs do a lot to make up for political problems. Still: It might be better to start there — rather than to expand there.

very very wise words – its not about the size but what you are doing with it that matters 😉
A company doesn't necessarily need a fully fledged data science team and expensive tools to start doing data analysis, executives from PayPal, MailChimp and Import•io argued at Structure:Europe 2013 on Wednesday.
"I would argue one of the most sophisticated data science tools we've had in the past 20 years has been Microsoft Excel," Andrew Fogg, founder and chief data officer at Import•io, said. "Businesses run on this, and not just small businesses." A company that wants to move beyond a tool like Excel should "think about the limitations" of that program and "think about what you need from there."
John Foreman, chief data scientist at MailChimp, said smaller companies have gotten more comfortable with data science as they've seen more use cases for it. While large companies like hotel chains and airlines have used data science for decades, recently storage has gotten cheaper and there are more use cases at small companies…

Article Summary:
Original Article Text From America Economia via Google Translate :
At the 85th meeting of the Council of the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) representatives of the market highlighted the role of this product in the Ecuadorian economy.
Undersecretary of Agriculture, Alberto Larco said that in 2011 it produced 200 thousand metric tons of cocoa, which means 4.5% of world production of seed.
exported U.S. $ 535 million to the world, the main U.S. buyers (50%) and Europe (35%).
The Secretary explained that "the market cake, we can see that Ecuador is seventh, with 4.5% of world cocoa production (…) In the subsector of fine cocoa aroma represent 62% are the two-thirds of what is produced worldwide. "
Cocoa is the oldest export product of Ecuador. In this type of work culture 100 000 farming families in 490 hectares and 90% are distributed in the coastal provinces and the western foothills of the Andes. In contrast, the other 10% is in the Amazon region.
Larco Undersecretary recognizes that the cocoa industry which gives added value to the product is growing, they produce cocoa powder and chocolate.
Although "85% of production is still exported grain." Germany and the Netherlands are the main consumers of Ecuadorian cocoa, but the official said China and Japan have entered the Ecuadorian market.

In the early 1980s I came upon a book by M. Scott Peck (1936-2005), an American psychiatrist, whose title intrigued me so much that I delved into it immediately ― I just had to find out what it was all about.
``The Road Less Traveled," published in 1978, has sold more than 10 million copies. It is a description of the many attributes that make for a fulfilled human being, based largely on Dr. Peck's experiences as a psychiatrist and a person. This book title reminded me of a poem by the American poet Robert Frost (1874-1963), "The Road Not Taken," whose last stanza ends: ``I shall be telling this with a sigh, Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
During 17 years living in a largely Jewish town in northern New Jersey, I was naturally drawn to the subject of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust in which Nazi Germany managed to kill some 6 million Jews. I sought out many books dealing with this subject and one of the most rewarding aspect of that pursuit was learning about the ``righteous Gentiles" who took the road less traveled.
One of them was a young Swedish diplomat named Raoul Wallenberg (1912-1947). He is now remembered for his humanitarian efforts rescuing thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary while serving as a Swedish diplomat. Between July and December 1944 Wallenberg issued protective passports and sheltered Jews in buildings designated as Swedish territory saving tens of thousands of lives. Ultimately he died under questionable circumstances that seem to derive from his heroic efforts in taking the road not taken by many people.
Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) is another good example as a sojourner on this less traveled road. A Dutch Christian, she and her father and other family members helped many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II. Her family was arrested because of an informant in 1944, and her father died ten days later in prison. A sister, brother and nephew were released but Corrie and her sister Betsie were sent to the Ravensbruck concentration camp, where only Corrie survived. Corrie ten Boom wrote many books and aided Holocaust survivors.
Her autobiography, ``The Hiding Place" (1971), about her experience of rescuing Jews in Holland, is one of the most moving stories I've ever read. I continuously asked myself while reading it, ``Would I be able to do what Corrie ten Boom did if I were put in the same situation?"
One Korean from our history comes to my mind as a good example as one who also chose to travel on the road less traveled. Jeong Mong-ju (1337-1392) was a civil minister and scholar during the late Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392). After Yi Seong-gye revolted against the Goryeo Dynasty in order to found the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), Jeong Mong-ju was murdered by Yi Seong-gye's fifth son Yi Bang-won (later King Taejong of the Joseon Dynasty) because he refused to collaborate with them in the coup and persisted in his loyalty to the Goryeo dynasty.
Jeong Mong-ju's poem of loyalty has been taught at Korean schools as inspiration for faithfulness. Even now when I recite it I get a lump in my throat.
Though I die and die again a hundred times,
That my bones turn to dust, whether my soul remains or not,
Ever loyal to my Lord, how can this red heart ever fade away?
One of our cousins was leading a comfortable life teaching at a prominent university as a tenured professor of psychology. He always had a deep longing to paint full-time. Even knowing that if he followed his heart he would suffer financial insecurity, he chose what made him happiest. He didn't want to come to the end of his life filled with regret for not taking the road his heart was beckoning him to follow.
On a personal level, I too took the road less traveled by marrying a non-Korean in 1970 when doing so brought on many dirty looks, societal disapproval and family disgrace. I am so glad I had the chutzpah to take that road less traveled. Deepest remorse would have followed me all my life if I had taken the easy road.
M. Scott Peck said: ``Life is complex. Each one of us must make his own path through life. There are no self-help manuals, no formulas, no easy answers. The right road for one is the wrong road for another … The journey of life is not paved in blacktop; it is not brightly lit, and it has no road signs. It is a rocky path through the wilderness."
As 2011 is fading we need to ask ourselves again, ``Is there some fear in me that prevents me from traveling the road less traveled?" I sincerely hope that all of us will have the inner light to lead us on to the right road. May you have the courage to choose the road less traveled when that challenge arises!
Only you will know when that moment is.

Pancreatic Cancer Aware Campaign 2017
IN November 2017, Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, we launched our biggest symptoms awareness campaign ever across the UK. Our Pancreatic Cancer Aware adverts featured in:
- Washrooms in shopping centres, service stations and railway stations
- 1,000 GP surgeries (which will continue until the end of March 2018)
- 10,000 Pubs and bars
- 300 Bus Stops
- Outside 100 Co-ops
- External and internal billboards in 20 of the busiest service stations
- National radio in Northern Ireland
- Targeted mobile advertising
The rationale behind our Pancreatic Cancer Aware campaign is that while there is no early detection test, the key to improving survival rates is getting more patients diagnosed early by helping the public, and healthcare professionals, to spot the signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer at the earliest stage.
Our key message to all is if you experience any of the symptoms featured in the campaign, and they are persistent and NOT normal for you…you should talk to your GP.
In addition, we have adverts for Pancreatic Cancer Action on digital billboards at 16 of England's busiest service stations and targeted mobile advertising.

Article Title
"Necessity is the Mother of Invention," likewise necessity evolved the cruiser's staff. Last summer while cruising in second growth jack pine we found that an eight and one-fourth foot pole is very convenient in measuring the width of a strip. In dense stands of small trees a strip one quarter of a chain wide gives a very good sample. By measuring with the pole eight and one-fourth feet on either side of the chain, count can be made much more accurately than by estimating the width of the strip. It was for this purpose that the cruiser's staff was first used.

no news is good news
I can't remember the last time I watched TV by choice. I just stopped doing it, particularly the news. There came a time when I decided there is really nothing I can do about a collapsed building in Kenya, or an earthquake in Vietnam. Yet, I got fed the news almost instantly as it happened. I went through all the stresses and emotional trauma, then simply forgot about the incident. The forgetfulness is to make room for the next bit of bad news - the mass beheading of innocent people in some rogue state somewhere, say.
The saying "No news is good news" says it all really.
For some reason though, I can't seem to avoid these two LCD screens on the wall of this waiting room. Every time I pass by them, they are displaying some kind of bad news - missing airplanes, terrorist attacks, tsunamis, something.
Today as I grabbed my early morning coffee, there they were, serving up the bad news. I couldn't hear the audio, but my heart sank when I saw the images of the most flamboyant boxer that has ever lived. There were images in black and white and colour. There were images from 1974 and 2014. This could only mean one thing. Just like Prince's before his, these two LCD screens had served me today's bad news.

Biotech stocks are some of the most exciting investments on Wall Street. When one company develops a successful treatment for a complex condition, shares can surge overnight and attract buyout interest from Big Pharma.
But when a drug trial fails, it can go down in flames. Case in point: Biotech giant Biogen BIIB, +0.59% imploded roughly 30% on Thursday after announcing it is canceling its Alzheimer's drug efforts after poor drug trials. It fell again on Friday.
For those skittish of that kind of lurch, there are a few ETFs to diversify your investment and smooth out some of the bumps. The $8.2 billion iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF IBB, -0.67% and the $4.4 billion SPDR S&P Biotech ETF XBI, -0.59% are the two most popular. However, the iShares ETFis up only about 4% in the last 12 months and the SPDR ETF is up only 2% while the broader S&P 500 SPX, +0.16% has a return of 8% in the same period — so diversification is not exactly a recipe for success.
The bottom line is you have to pick your spots based on either high-potential drug trials or the likelihood of an acquisition.
It's a risky business, to be sure. But if you're interested in rolling the dice in biotech, here are five stocks worth researching:
Sage Therapeutics
For some investors, the success story of Sage Therapeutics SAGE, +0.36% is old news. Shares have skyrocketed more than 60% year-to-date thanks to approval for a postpartum depression treatment.
However, in many ways, the story of Sage is only in the early chapters. Shares are actually down modestly from their early 2018 peak of more than $180, hit around the time the company announced positive results for an insomnia drug trial.
That's in part because even after this postpartum drug success, analysts have reservations about a slow rollout and the fact that Sage is going it alone, without a Big Pharma heavyweight by its side. That means fewer resources for marketing and distribution, and of course the risk of competition.
But Sage is a first-mover here, and it has plenty of other drugs in the pipeline to prove its not a one-trick pony. These include not just sleep treatments but also a depression treatment that analysts project could generate $2 billion in sales by 2026.
All biotech stocks are risky. But there's a lot to like about this one — and its recent approval should inspire confidence.
Many investors already know Celgene CELG, -0.54% a $63 billion biotech giant that is no longer a small, development-stage drugmaker but instead a major player projected to book $17 billion in revenue this year.
Unlike Sage, however, the bloom is off the Celgene rose. Shares are only up by low single-digits over this time in 2018, and are down more than 25% from their 2017 highs after weak earnings and guidance late that year created questions about its product pipeline that have lingered like a black cloud.
But one other thing has also lingered in recent months — the chance of a buyout from Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY, -0.98% after a $74 billion bid in January.
The previous deal was for one share of Bristol-Myers Squibb stock plus $50 in cash for each share of Celgene. There is still uncertainty over what final terms this time might be, or whether management and shareholders will ultimately go for the deal at all. But an important recommendation from proxy advisers as early as this week is likely to set a clear course for the deal.
There's a chance this could still all fall apart. But the hard reality is that Bristol-Myers Squibb announced some tough news from the FDA in October on some of its drugs and could really use Celgene products to broaden its portfolio, and the nature of Big Pharma is to only get bigger. Bristol-Myers Squibb may not have a choice but to close this deal — and if it doesn't, I still like Celgene as one of the heavyweights of biotech for the long run.
Midsize biotech Exelixis EXEL, -1.72% has the impressive returns you want to see in a fast-moving momentum stock, with shares up more than 400% since the start of 2016.
However, a look at the chart shows a period of consolidation across 2018 as investors lost interest — followed by what looks like the beginning of a new wave higher that began in late 2018 and has continued this year.
That's because Exelixis' flagship cancer drug, Cabometyx, received FDA approval in January for additional use cases. This on the heels of almost $620 million in revenue from Cabometyx in 2018, up more than 70% from 2017, is a great sign.
Adding to optimism are comments from CEO Michael Morrissey on an earnings call in February that highlighted plans for acquisitions, licensing deals and other efforts to add new products to the mix to pad the company's pipeline
Shares have momentum in 2019, up more than 20% year-to-date, but remain below their all-time high reached in January 2018. Given recent successes, there's every reason to expect Exelixis can get back to where it was around $30 a share — 25% upside from here — and perhaps power higher if headlines stay positive.
Crispr Therapeutics
One of the first big names among gene-editing stocks Crispr Therapeutics CRSP, -0.22% has been a part of the sometimes controversial discussion about this next-gen medical technology for years now. Born out of the Broad Institute, a genomics partnership between MIT and Harvard, Crispr has a lot of the appeal that biotech investors are looking for, given its ambitious treatment plans using cutting-edge technology.
The first-mover advantages Crispr has over late entrants to gene editing are noteworthy. The company already has a potential cure for sickle cell disease, and in October the FDA removed its clinical hold on the therapy. Then in January, Crispr announced the treatment received fast-track status that allows more frequent and timely review of trial data to help with bringing the product to market sooner rather than later.
That fast-track designation was announced in partnership with $47 billion biotech player Vertex Pharmaceuticals VRTX, -0.97% — a strong sign of possible acquisition interest if things go well.
Elsewhere in the pipeline are gene therapies for rare cancers, blood disorders and other conditions. It's an exciting time for this subset of biotech, and Crispr clearly is one of the top names to watch -- particularly after its 30% return so far in 2019.
Puma Biotechnology
Puma Biotechnology PBYI, +0.95% is an interesting investment to consider. Instead of suffering a sharp decline after a failed trial, Puma stock has suffered despite FDA approval thanks to what investors see as a failure to roll out its new drug fast enough or with enough fanfare.
Puma exploded higher in 2015 thanks to positive results for a breast cancer treatment, soaring to an all-time high of roughly $270 a share. But sales didn't materialize as dramatically as some had hoped. When revenue growth dried up, as reported in November, the stock plunged more than 30% in a single session.
It's now worth taking another look at the stock. Projections for FY2019 include revenue growth of about 18%, with another 24% in FY2020 as marketing and sales finally get up to full speed.
Furthermore, Puma has a long history with Big Pharma, including early drug trials conducted with Pfizer PFE, +0.19% in 2010 that established good relationships — and increase the likelihood that some larger player may see Puma as a bargain with a proven drug it can plug into its existing distribution.
This is not a company that failed to develop a cure, just a company that failed to live up to initial hype. The fact that shares have bounced back an impressive 90% so far in 2019 from recent lows is a sign that the initial selloff may have been too hasty.

Should really I say that your posts are simply just excellent discover for all Those people, striving themselfs at networking! Thank you a great deal for all that you just've wrote and all those exertion for answering all these reviews with really desired details!
Also, in this networking design, will be the server facet cube only remaining up to date when an enter packet is obtained, or can it be regularly becoming up-to-date?
This addresses The subject you stated with the summary of auth. scheme at GDC10: "This method is sweet … the place these objects usually return to being at relaxation following remaining interacted with".

E Edward Lambert On Bond Demand, The Coming Recession, And New Normal
Edward Lambert is the blogger at Effective Demand Research. He is a noted economist, having shared his work at Angry Bear Blog, where he is an active contributor, and elsewhere. He has come up with an equation to measure effective demand and predict recessions. His calculations indicate we are on the path to recession already. I will address that aspect of his work down the page, but what has excited me most about his theories is that he agrees with me about monetary theory.
He is the only economist I know of who has come right out and said that monetary theory is dead, a point which I have been trying to share with economists to no avail until I ran across his comments. Many economists simply refuse to speak about bond demand, like many Market Monetarists I have tried to engage. Dr. Lambert explained it to me this way in an email:
I agree with you. Money theory, as it applies to bonds, is dead. Basically
because the models of economists cannot grasp the new normal. That is where my
effective demand is making sense of so many things.
Krugman is waiting for the whites of inflation's eyes, but with after-tax
corporate profit rates at never before seen record highs, there is no price
pressure, too many firms are still able to undercut any price rise. So the
only thing that will bring on inflation is a substantial fall in after-tax
profit rates, which brings on a recession. So when Krugman gets his inflation,
a recession will already be happening. [Emphasis Mine]
Dr Lambert read some of my articles on Talkmarkets regarding these subjects, and the email he sent spoke to Effective Demand and to fiscal stimulus as an economic tool:
Economic theories have not grasped how the economy has changed. For me,
getting a working model for effective demand has made the difference. My
models are describing cycles that existing models cannot do...
About fiscal stimulus, I do not think it will work. Any money injected into
the circular flow of the economy will just flow into high corporate profit
rates and low labor share. Effective demand will stay weak. And with
unemployment low, and some marginal firms unable to pay the rising wages,
there will be internal decay in the business cycle leading to a contraction.
The contraction will want to clean out marginally unproductive firms. It is
long overdue with these low interest rates that we have had for years.
The pressure will build for wage increases. So the pressure on marginal firms
will build too. That cascades into a contraction.
More economists are expecting a recession in a few years, like Larry Summers.
But a recession is closer than they think because they still have one foot in
the camp that thinks there is still lots of slack. Yet as Keynes described it,
weak effective demand will keep the economy from reaching normal full
employment. The slack we see now will not be used due to weak effective
demand. So the recession will come on earlier than they think. [Emphasis mine]

Sailing Section
Welcome to the 2017-18 season.
The Aviemore Classic remains our premier event, to be held over Labour Weekend as usual. This event attracts a good fleet from around the country. The reputation this event carries is testament to the expertise and effort of our club's considerable team of volunteers. A huge thanks to all those involved.
We all enjoy hosting visitors to the club, and this year we are expecting to host the Noelex 22 South Island Champs in November. Then there is the age group regatta in February which usually sees a good turn-out of young talent, and of course the club will be represented at the usual away regattas.
Any adult members with basic power boating skills are invited to help out on a Saturday afternoon with a few hours in the patrol boat please. The sailing community can help lay the course, and then it is about being at hand in support if needed.
Our regular Saturday sailing continues with enthusiasm, be that with reducing boat numbers. To those competing, have a safe and enjoyable season. To those watching or coming along later to share the debrief, we look forward to seeing you.
Simon Boys, firstname.lastname@example.com

It was a rewarding adventure sailing from the beach on Pamlico Sound to Beaufort. Although we covered only the first half of the course on that trip, we became good friends with the Harlowe waterway (under 3 bridges), the Pamlico/Neuse waters rounding Piney Island point (with bombing range), and the Newport River/Taylor Creek approach to Beaufort. We gained ~ 3.5 hours of rowing practice. In the Neuse we inadvertantly capsized the Dawn Patrol for the first time (ever), proved that it was no big deal, and gained the confidence to go back home and routinely practice capsize-and-recovery drills (on purpose).
"It's a dingy, and capsize and recovery is a normal expectation". --Alan
Day1 and Day2
I previously posted a report of this scouting trip in the B and B Yachts Forum on the Mess-About website, along with 45 photos and 4 weather charts posted on Picassaweb.
Recently I took a new look at the GPS data for our sailing and rowing from that 2-day scouting trip. Here are those data along with a few highlights...
Day 1
The winds on the Pamlico Sound were initially light as we rounded Piney Island into the Neuse River. We occasionally rowed in the hot sun for a moment or two whenever the sails hung lifeless and the Pamlico turned to glass. By 2pm the afternoon storms had kicked in to send us beating through sizable chop up the Neuse in 16 knot winds with 20-24 knot gusts. I was at the helm when we capsized. Twenty minutes later we were all bailed out, none the worst, and on our way reefed to the max in increasing winds.
The storms cleared away the heat of the day left us in cooler air. By 6:40pm we needed to shake the reefs out. By 8:00 pm the wind had died. In the cool of the evening I rowed for an hour to bring us to a good stopping point and anchorage in the mouth of Clubfoot Creek --gateway to the Harlowe waterway. As we glided along during that hour, the stars were out overhead, silent lightning flashed in the far distances, Alan prepared a hot dinner for us, and for some unknown reason we were treated to a fireworks display in the sky over Morehead City / Beaufort (our destination) on that moonless night.
Key: GPS speed (black dots connected by tan lines), smooth curve (red), rowing (tan rectangle).
Garmin GPSmap 76CSx was set to record [lat, lon] and time at 20-second intervals.
Day 2
At 7:00 am we sailed off our anchor, stopped for 5 minutes at Matthews Point Marina for water, and then short-tacked the first 3 miles into Clubfoot Creek. The next 2.5 hours introduced us to rowing into a 1.5 knot current through the beautiful Harlowe Canal and its three faces: the gentle Neuse River flora and fauna of Clubfoot Creek, skirting the Croatan National Forest via the narrow canal under a canopy of trees and spanned by three low bridges, winding through the lush green and brown marsh grasses of Harlowe Creek to reach the open tidal waters of the Newport River. It was another hot day but we had a wonderful adventure discovering the Harlowe waterway and verifying that we did indeed fit under the three bridges with a few vertical inches to spare. Piece of cake.
Rowing through Harlowe Creek
The ride on the Newport River into Beaufort on 13-17 knot winds was fast. We reefed. Approached the draw bridge and sailed through when it opened with oars at the ready.
Then passing "Check Point #1" (CP) we sailed on down Taylor Creek to the public boat ramp. Dawn was waiting for us (of course!) at a public boat ramp. The 5-10 knot gusty wind blowing toward the ramp, together with low-tide banks of oyster shell and mud to the right and left conspired against us; ultimately, Dawn backed the trailer down the ramp into the water and Alan sailed the Dawn Patrol up unto the trailer.
Key: GPS speed (black dots connected by tan lines), smooth curve (red), rowing (tan rectangle).
Garmin GPSmap 76CSx was set to record [lat, lon] and time at 20-second intervals.
We were out of the water by 5:25pm. Dawn did not believe we capsized. As we told her about our weekend, we finally convinced her that we were not pulling her leg, and she was glad we had that experience under our belts. We had cruised and scouted the first 65 miles of the ~100mile NC Challenge.
A Month Later
A month later in the NCC 2009 race, Alan and I sailed and rowed the same 65 miles in half the time --in large part thanks to cooperative conditions. The other half of the race course (from Beaufort around Harkers Island and up Core Sound back to the start/finish line) was another story.

Okay, I'm stretching the bit about the scientists calling for supercomputers to fill these empty stadiums scattered across the globe. The race to build a scalable and viable quantum computer - an idea whose seed was first laid in the 1980s - is driven by the thirst to create an extremely fast and powerful device, one that would make today's computers look like old, doddering abacuses by comparison.
New study finds extensive use of fluorinated chemicals in fast food wrappers
The 20 compounds the FDA has approved for such use are a new generation of chemicals - often referred to as short-chain, since they contain fewer than 8 carbon-fluorine bonds. None were found in paper cups. Of the food packaging samples tested, they found elevated fluorine levels in more than half the dessert and bread wrappers, 38 percent of sandwich and burger wrappers, and 20 percent of paperboard (think french fry boxes).
Major Tech Companies Are Coming Together To Fight Trump's Immigration Ban
Some of the biggest names in tech are teaming up to support legal action against president Trump's executive order that restricts immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries. "And in our view, the President is not adhering to the Constitution when it comes to this executive action". "And we'd be happy to testify further if needed", spokesman Pete Wootton said in a statement .
Republicans Push Through Pruitt Nomination While Democrats Boycott
The Democrats received little if any sympathy on social media. Tom Carper, D-Delaware, on Tuesday asked that consideration of Pruitt's nomination be postponed until senators received more complete answers. Pruitt's written responses reflected a more detailed and specific expression of doubt about the science of climate change, compared with the vaguer statements he made in his confirmation hearing.

River Church Roanoke is unashamedly a Spirit-filled charismatic fellowship established in the belief that we are now entering into a last day's revival of unprecedented proportions. We believe the prophet Joel who prophesied the latter rains would exceed the early rains. We believe the apostle Paul's declaration that the Church should go from glory to glory by the Spirit. We believe there is yet to come a major ingathering of souls into the kingdom of God.
River Church Roanoke is biblically structured according to Ephesians chapter four as well as First and Second Timothy. We believe church structure is to serve the people, not people serving a structure. We believe every believer has a purpose to fulfill in the kingdom and the church's responsibility is to train and then release them into a Spirit empowered life of service and ministry to Jesus.
River Church Roanoke is for all people thirsting for the life-giving flow of God's Spirit. Having said that, we gear our ministry to the present generation believing they in particular are looking for relevant and authentic spiritual life in Christ. We refuse to compromise historic biblical truths, while not fearing methodologies that reach a new generation of believers.

Fast track consultant can achieve the highest rank of an agent as Mutual Fund Group Agency Manager (MFGAM) in one year and three months. It took many years to become a General Manager or a CEO of a company.
I knew many companies out there, that many if not all of their management staff struggle to become a CEO of the company, but unfortunately the CEO would normally will be picked up from outside of the company. Very true right! Here you don't have to worry on that.
If you work smart enough, you will be the MFGAM. No one from nowhere will come and become your boss. For those who hate traffic jam, you can even have your office right in front of your house if you want. Other CEOs don't have this privilege.

- Year-end bonus
- Breakaway bonus
- Equalisation bonus
- Career benefits

Do phone charging cables come with the car?
Do phone charging cables come with the car?
Yes, there should be a lightning and USB-C cables in the console. Try looking under the tray.
Yes, there three kinds of cables, USB-C, MicroUSB and iPhone,
Tesla will come with an iPhone and one of the two android cables. What you get depends on luck.
Yes. One each Apple Lightining and Android whatever (you can tell we have Apple). They were in a tiny plastic bag in the center console. Worth a hunt there if you haven;t already looked.
I received one Apple charging cable and one Samsung charging cable when I picked up the car. I have no information if that is standard or not, but I'd assume it was. Definitely ask a service center Tesla rep
Doing a quick google search, it looks like the car should have two cables installed, a lightning cable for iPhone and either a USB-C or Micro USB for Android devices.
And we didn't get the "Zero Emissions" temporary license plate that I see on all the other new Teslas. But, yeah, go get your wires! (I'll trade ya and Android for an Apple.)
I found mine in the glovebox.
I picked up my Tesla model 3 yesterday and didnt have the charging cables either. I didnt think about looking before I left. Cant go back and ask as I live too far.
@CharleyBC, I'd love to make that trade with ya! Give me a way to get in touch.
Bumping this in hopes that @CharleyBC (or somebody else wanting an apple connector in exchange for a USB-C) sees it.
Picked up my Model 3 yesterday. No cable included. LR AWD PUP
Mine were in a plastic bag in the center console, came with only the iPhone cables though - no micro usb. I ordered one of those QI charge pad pieces for the front console anyway tho.
I have an extra android, if someone wants to swap me out for their extra I-phone cable. I'm in South Orange County, CA. Let me know!
I picked up the car on Dec 14th and i don't have them in the car.
Just received delivery on my Model 3 and no cables either.
call your DA, they are included.
Model 3 there are not included, i'm from spain https://www.joelperez.es/ contact me or let me know the best iphone cables.
My model 3 came with one USB-C and one iphone cable.
According to the online chat folks, the NEMA 14-50 and phone cables were phased out of orders in late April 2019. Shame.

Put Aslam back in the race of life
Muhammad Aslam's Story
Just when you think life cannot get any worse, it does. There are challenges that you have to accept when they come your way. The only thing that gets you through those challenges is continuous determination and a positive outlook.
Aslam is a laborer in a construction company; he manages his earnings by working from dawn to dusk. His work requires a lot of breaking of bricks and mixing concrete; which is why, his hands have become stiff and his skin has become cracked.
One day, while he was carrying a pile of bricks up the stairs, he slipped and fell down from there. His injuries were so severe and painful that he got fainted at the spot. His body was lying on that pile of bricks and his leg was bleeding excessively.
People around him took him to the nearby hospital where he was admitted in the emergency, managed and found to have a femur fracture.
After few days of treatment, he left the hospital against the doctor's advice as he couldn't afford the expense of the treatment. He revoked the treatment and confined himself to bed in his home.
Now, Aslam is in the miserable condition. His bone has united in an abnormal position rendering him unable to walk. Let's pledge to help Aslam for his treatment so he can continue living a life, full of hope and positivity.
Muhammad Aslam's Story
Muhammad Aslam 55 years old, broke his leg when he fell down at his work place. His bone was fractured and he was unable to bear weight. He was diagnosed as a case of non union Rt Femur Shaft and was advised surgery for this condition. His surgery was done in Naseer Hospital on 02-01-16 by Prof Dr Naseer. Osteoclasis with IL Nailing was done to fix his Rt Femur. He remained admitted for 5 days with smooth post op recovery and was discharged with follow up advice.

After the success of the S1000RR many have been looking forward to the release of BMW's street fighter to add to their growing motorcycle line up for 2014. Well here are a few spy images that were taken by oliepeil.com
There is also a short video clip of the S1000R Street Fighter. It looks menacing to say the least, especially with that gargoyle like front end.
Love the S1000RR but too afraid to use its insane power on the urban roads? Well here is your answer, it still is reminiscent of the S1000RR but perhaps slightly toned down, perfect for adrenalin junkies.

Ask Colin
I am not sure what I can add to what is already on my web site. Please see what is there for Micro Corp/Blue Chip Trader and also computerised trading systems generally.
You will be aware that it is difficult for any of us to comment about these products specifically, because the law in Australia protects scoundrels by making truth alone an insufficient defence against an action. One must also be able to prove the nebulous idea of "public interest" in telling the truth. The result is that only those with deep pockets can afford to speak the truth about scams. Governments have deep pockets, but do not do enough of this. Accordingly, I will not comment about Micro Corp and Blue Chip Trader. Rather, I will talk about computerised trading systems in general terms.
Your first recourse should be to ASIC. Find out if the promoter is licensed. This is no protection, but is a starting point. ASIC will also give you the general warnings they have issued.
Your next move should be research. The Internet is a great source. For example, with respect to Micro Corp and Blue Chip Trader, you will quickly find that Trevor Sykes has three times covered this outfit in his Pierpont columns in The Australian Financial Review. Go to his web site www.pierpont.com.au. The first column was published on 28 April 2000, the second one on 8 December 2000 and the latest one on 13 February 2004.
By the way, the company that sells this software keeps changing its name and the name of its software. The company is now (2004) called MCI Technologies and the software is called Star Trader.
If you still want to go further with any system, you need to be prepared to buy it and test it before you use it.
Finally, consider these points:
1. If something seems to good to be true, it usually is.
2. If a system is that good, ask why the promoter is prepared to sell it to you rather than trade it himself. If I had something as good as they claim, I would have no trouble establishing a track record and attracting large sums from people to manage for them. In a few years the resulting fund would have most of the money in the world. Ask these promoters to show you the audited results of using their own system with their own money. Theoretical back testing is useless, really. By the way, I suspect that selling these systems makes more money than using them to trade. However, it is difficult to quantify this, so it remains just a suspicion.
3. If the problem of trading markets was as simple as putting some algorithms in a computer, why are the major fund managers not buying them up exclusively? These guys test everything looking for an edge. If it was there, they would have found it. The people who work in this industry are highly intelligent and highly trained. They also work very hard. I do not believe that they miss much.
4. If Warren Buffett can "only" make 25% compound over 40 years, he must be a fool not to have used these systems. I am still waiting for someone to tell me Warren Buffett is a fool.
5 If major companies can only make on average 10 to 12% return on equity over the economic cycle, why are they not selling up and going into trading? Their directors scour the world for good business models. Some of these directors are questionable, but most are not fools or blind.
I hope you find this useful. None of it is a direct comment about Micro Corp or Blue Chip Trader, which I have not checked or tested. Life is too short to tilt at windmills. Then again, I may just have a bias against this stuff. You will have to judge that for yourself.

The Story of Chromag.
Chromag Bikes was started in 2003 by local Whistler mountain biker, Ian Ritz. It started with a single steel-framed hard tail and has grown to include a full range of mountain bike components and an extensive series of hard tail frames.
The idea for the original frame, the TRL, was born out of a desire for simplicity, quality and strength in an era of full suspension bikes. Ian wanted something to complement the kind of riding typical to Whistler – rooty, rocky, rough with big climbs, big descents and everything in between. He designed that first frame and rode it, leaving his full suspension bike behind. Soon all his friends wanted Chromag frames as well and more ideas flowed from there. Ian started designing the saddles, handlebars and stems that have made Chromag what it is today.
Chromag is largely known for its quality, colourful components. Those things that mountain bikers love to upgrade on their bike to make it unique and special to them. One lap in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park and you can't help but notice the number of Chromag handlebars and saddles on bikes. There is a strong and loyal following in Whistler. They were early adopters naturally, as the products were initially designed with that kind of riding in mind, but the demand has spread to all corners of the globe, with dealers and distributors everywhere from Japan to Israel. Yet many of Chromag's products are manufactured right in Whistler or the surrounding area.
Every Friday, Ian and a group of buddies would get together for a big breakfast and then head out for a punishing epic ride. To this day, the Friday ride is a legendary ritual that drives the inspiration for Chromag's product design. Riding bikes and being passionate about bikes is at the core of their business.

A Shropshire stately home which operates as a nationally acclaimed wedding and private hire venue is hosting Christmas supper clubs from the beginning of December.
Iscoyd Park, near Whitchurch, has a fully staffed in-house catering team which operates under head chef David Cox, who has trained in some of the country's best-known Michelin-starred restaurants.
David and his team will be providing guests top-level food in the newly restored Coach House at Iscoyd Park on selected dates in December.
The Christmas supper clubs are the brainchild of Phil and Susie Godsal who run Iscoyd Park.
Mr and Mrs Godsal said they are excited about building Iscoyd's reputation as an events venue into "a destination for great food".
"We brought the catering in-house at the start of this year after new kitchens in a former dairy and have now built up a really excellent team in the kitchen lead by our young and exciting head chef David Cox," said Mr Godsal.
"We have just completed the restoration of the Coach House. This has resulted in a beautiful, warm space designed for good times – the perfect place for our supper club!"
Mrs Godsal said the Christmas supper clubs are a way of introducing the skills of Iscoyd's cooking team to a food-loving audience in the area.
"We hope the supper clubs will be successful and develop a following so that we can develop them over the coming year," she added.
"Next year we intend to explore different menus, cooking styles, themes and will be introducing well known guest chefs from time to time."
Until now Iscoyd has only been accessible to those who are holding events, or guests at an event.
"We are really excited that Iscoyd is now accessible to people who may not have been here before, and the supper club also offers a way for those who have been here as either clients or guests to return," said Mr Godsal.
"With plenty of bedrooms available for booking, we hope to attract those from further afield or those who want to stay the night and take advantage of our wine cellar!"
He added that the Christmas Supper Club will be three courses from a small but carefully chosen menu and are suitable for either a romantic evening for two or a Christmas party.
