Best Teams Ever bracket: NHL edition, Round 1
Welcome to the Best Team Ever bracket series, where the greatest of all time have their most dominant seasons stacked up against each other until we ultimately crown a champion in each sport. The tournament will be decided by fan vote, so be sure to submit yours below! The first round of polling closes at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, March 31.
[More brackets: NFL | NBA | MLB | NCAAF | NCAAB | NCAAW | WNBA | Soccer | NHL | Nascar]
1985 Edmonton Oilers vs. 1970 Boston Bruins
No. 1: 1984-85 Oilers
One of five teams in NHL history to exceed 400 goals.
Extended a postseason win streak to a record 12 games.
Voted "Greatest NHL Team of All Time" in league's centennial celebration fan vote.
The Edmonton Oilers repeated as Stanley Cup champions and produced three major award winners in a record-breaking regular season. Wayne Gretzky won his sixth straight Hart Trophy and fifth consecutive Art Ross Trophy with 73 goals and 208 points, while also establishing the current postseason scoring record with 47 points in 18 games. Defenseman Paul Coffey won his first of three Norris trophies and Jari Kurri won the Lady Byng, while also matching the playoff record for goals in a single postseason with 19.
No. 16: 1969-70 Bruins
Clinched fourth Stanley Cup in franchise history.
Bobby Orr scored "The Goal," providing one of the most iconic photos in sports history.
It was truly the Bobby Orr season. No. 4 became the first defenseman in league history to exceed the 100-point threshold, winning the scoring title with 120 total. He recorded the most goals ever by a defenseman with 33, and also set an NHL record with 87 assists. He won the Hart and Norris trophies for his brilliant regular season, and the Conn Smythe Trophy as the postseason's most valuable player.
1987 Edmonton Oilers vs. 1994 New York Rangers
No. 8: 1986-87 Oilers
Overcame huge disappointment from previous season to win the Cup for the third time in four years.
Scored 54 goals more than the next highest-scoring team.
It wasn't the most dominant team from the Oilers' dynasty seasons, and it needed seven games to defeat the Flyers in the Stanley Cup Final, but it might have been the most talented. Wayne Gretzky extended his ownership of the league's most valuable player award to an eighth season.
No. 9: 1993-94 Rangers
Ended a 54-year Stanley Cup drought.
Rode a stingy defense to a league-best 52 regular season wins.
Mark Messier issued one of the most famous guarantees in sports history after the Rangers were pushed to the brink in the Eastern Conference Final versus the Devils, promising the Rangers would win Game 6. The captain backed up his words with a hat-trick performance, and the Rangers won consecutive Game 7s to bring the Stanley Cup back to Manhattan after more than a half century.
1992 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 1984 Edmonton Oilers
No. 5: 1991-92 Penguins
Swept Chicago to claim second straight Stanley Cup.
Won final 11 games of the playoff en route to the title.
The 1992 Penguins featured maybe the greatest version of the great Mario Lemieux. He posted 34 points (16 goals, 18 assists) in 15 games for Pittsburgh, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP for the second straight year — becoming just the second player in League history to accomplish the feat. The Pens also became the third team at the time to win back-to-back Stanley Cups with a different coach leading the way.
No. 12: 1983-84 Oilers
Oilers became first of the four WHA expansion teams to win Stanley Cup.
Put an end to the New York Islanders dynasty, while launching their own.
The first of the Oilers run of five Cups over the next seven seasons, the '84 squad featured Wayne Gretzky coming off another 200-point, MVP regular season, but it was fellow Hall-of-Famer Mark Messier's team in the postseason. Messier posted eight goals and 26 points to claim the Conn Smythe Trophy as postseason MVP. Hall-of-Fame Goaltender Grant Fuhr, making his Stanley Cup final debut, put up a shutout in Game 1 at Nassau Coliseum to give the Isles their first loss in 10 Cup-final games.
1989 Calgary Flames vs. 2002 Red Wings
No. 4: 1988-89 Flames
Won franchise's first and only Stanley Cup.
Led the NHL regular season with 117 points and a 54-17-9 record.
The '89 Flames capped one of the best regular seasons in NHL history by capturing Calgary's first, and only, Stanley Cup. This loaded squad featured a stacked class including the likes of Lanny McDonald, Theo Fleury, Joe Mullen, Joe Nieuwendyk, Al MacInnis, Joel Otto and Gary Roberts, and had support from one of the best "fourth lines" in playoff history.
No. 13: 2001-02 Red Wings
Established a mini, modern-day dynasty with third Stanley Cup under Scotty Bowman.
Secured the President's Trophy as the NHL's regular season champions.
The 2002 Wings, on top of their legendary coach, boasted a lineup full of future Hall of Famers, including Brendan Shanahan, Sergei Fedorov, Brett Hull, Nicklas Lidstrom, Steve Yzerman and goalie Dominik Hasek. They also became the first team ever to capture the Cup after starting their postseason with two losses at home.
1977 Canadiens vs. 2010 Blackhawks
No. 2: 1976-77 Canadiens
Posted one of the all-time great regular seasons in NHL history.
Best team of the Canadiens' 70s dynasty squads.
En route to their second straight Cup, and fourth of six total championships in the 1970's for Montreal, the Habs posted an absurd 60-8-12 record in the regular season before steamrolling their way through the playoffs with a 12-2 mark. Ken Dryden became just the fifth NHL goalie ever to post four shutouts in a single postseason, while Guy Lafleur — with nine goals and 26 points — took home playoff MVP honors.
No. 15: 2009-10 Blackhawks
Secured Chicago's first Stanley Cup since 1961.
Kicked off a run of three titles in five years for the Blackhawks.
Led by a young Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews — who secured the Conn Smythe as playoff MVP — the Blackhawks preempted their first Cup in 49 years with an almost equally-as-rare regular season division title. This championship also gave Chicago the honor of being the only city to have claimed at least one 'ship in each of the four major professional sports (since 1985). Also of note, Kane scored the weirdest, most confusing Cup-winning goal ever in the final.
1996 Detroit Red Wings vs. 2001 Colorado Avalanche
No. 7: 1995-96 Red Wings
Set single-season wins record (62).
Scored at least once in all 82 games while allowing fewest goals against.
It was one of the greatest seasons on record, and the 1995-96 Red Wings still hold the record for points in an 82-game season, but it ended in disappointment. The Red Wings crashed out in the Western Conference Final in the first of many battles with the rival Colorado Avalanche. They're the only non-Cup winning team in this bracket — they were that good.
No. 10: 2000-01 Avalanche
Won franchise's second Stanley Cup and second Presidents' Trophy.
Patrick Roy became the NHL's all-time leader in wins.
Joe Sakic handed the Stanley Cup to the retiring Ray Bourque to hoist over his head first after Colorado's seven-game series victory over the Devils, offering one of the most memorable moments in the NHL history.
1988 Edmonton Oilers vs. 1978 Montreal Canadiens
No. 6: 1987-88 Oilers
Won franchise's fourth Stanley Cup title in five years.
Went 16-2 — arguably the most dominant postseason performance in league history.
After finishing second in the division to a talented Calgary Flames squad — when the Battle of Alberta was at its '80s apex —the Oilers went on an absolute tear during the first three rounds of the postseason before sweeping the Boston Bruins in the Cup final. Wayne Gretzky, whom you may have heard of, set a Stanley Cup final record with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) in just four contests en route to his second Conn Smythe Trophy.
No. 11: 1977-78 Canadiens
Montreal dominated their way to their third consecutive Stanley Cup.
Lost just 10 games during the regular season.
Leading another one of those egregiously stacked Canadiens squads of the 1970s was defenseman Larry Robinson, who took the Conn Smythe after posting a playoff-best 17 assists. This team featured it all — explosive offense, an all-world defense corps, Hall of Fame goaltending, and was coached by the legendary Scotty Bowman — and was as good top-to-bottom as any team in NHL history.
1983 New York Islanders vs 2007 Anaheim Ducks
No. 3: 1982-83 Islanders
Won fourth consecutive Stanley Cup.
Led NHL in fewest goals allowed.
While the Islanders were not the same team that they were in the previous three regular seasons, a remarkable run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs saw them prolong their dynasty — and delay another. The veteran Islanders swept the Oilers in Gretzky and Co.'s first-ever Stanley Cup Final appearance, holding the highest-scoring team in the league to just six goals.
No. 14: 2006-07 Ducks
Won first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
Set record with 16-game unbeaten streak to start season.
Anchored by Scott Niedermayer and Chris Pronger, one of the greatest one-two punches on the backend in league history, the Ducks travelled one of the cleanest records toward a championship, losing only five games across four rounds.

After what we thought was a one-off set of shows from legendary goth-rockers Bauhaus, the group has just announced two more reunion gigs.
The UK outfit has scheduled two more reunion shows in 2020 and fans are beaming with excitement.
When Bauhaus recently reunited for a trio of shows in Los Angeles, marking their first time together on stage in 13 years, fans thought it was a one time treat, making the 2020 shows even more exciting.
On April 8th, Bauhaus will take the stage at London's Alexandra Palace, which they'll follow up on April 26th with a concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
If their last shows are any indication, then the next two reunion concerts are set to be huge. Bauhaus treated fans to hit after hit, spanning their five album career, as well as a number of phenomenal covers.
Although the band were relatively short-lived, their music has held significant influence upon many artists that followed, including the likes of Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. Furthermore, the group had a considerable impact on the gothic, darkwave and deathrock scenes, still influencing them today.
If one thing is certain, the next two Bauhaus reunion shows are going to be massive. Here's to hoping that they enjoy playing so much that they visit Australia for a reunion show too!
2020 Tour Dates
04/08 – London, UK – Alexandra Palace
04/26 – New York, NY – Radio City Music Hall
Tickets go on sale Thursday, December 19th. Tickets and more information can be found here.

Over the course of the next two blogs we will attempt to set out some of the challenges we encountered in 'setting up the project'. Issues of ethics and research integrity, information security and data protection became a penrose staircase – requiring careful, circuitous, and imaginative navigation. In this first blog, we attempt to unpack how cultural representations of hackers shaped the research governance process, and ultimately led us to develop a somewhat unwieldy solution to imagined attackers. The second blog will explore the other side, looking at how perceptions of state agencies, their interest in us and our data and their powers of surveillance also shaped the way we designed our research.
Although all criminological research is ethically complex in its own way, our research presented – and was seen by others to present – a number of distinctive challenges. As we will go on to explain here, we think that many of the challenges which initially seem fairly distinctive about this project, are actually relevant to lots of other research projects. So we hope these blogs will be useful for anyone involved in research. Cheekily, we also hope that by setting out the ethical challenges we identified and how we have tried to engage with them, we will be able to pick your brains to establish vulnerabilities with our approach and improve our technical and procedural solutions. It is our intention that all of this work will ultimately be made freely available, and we encourage researchers who wish to engage with this area to make use of it when navigating these challenges, and let us know how they get on.
Unsurprisingly, the first set of challenges were thrown up by the dominance of 'hacker' as a signifier of technological criminal. The risks the project conjured in the imaginations of the many who reviewed it are a function of 'hackers' being commonly equated with a malicious-tech-savvy-criminal-mastermind. This project rang the alarms-bells of every department; it was a harbinger of 'cyber-attacks' for information security, the very essence of data protection's nightmares, and just downright exhausting for the research ethics committee.
En garde! : Cyber-attacks and institutional risk-perceptions
The first set of concerns revolved around an increased likelihood the institution would be attacked, that us as researchers would be attacked, and even that people involved in illegal hacking might use our project as a means through which to attack each other. These attacks might take various forms: attacks on the university network undermining its ability to operate, ransomware attacks on our data or the university more generally, phishing attacks for our credentials, stealing and publishing our data, online harassment or threats, and doxxing (publishing private information about an individual on the internet) us or our participants. Attacks of this nature may cause harm to us, the institution, criminology as a discipline, and our participants. Of course, we do not at all dismiss this as a risk, but rather wish to think critically about its distinctiveness in the context of our project.
First, and as you'll likely be aware if you're reading this, universities are already a popular target for illegal cyber-attacks. A number of recent high profile events have made this abundantly clear. Last year, one of our team, Sarah, received an email from her former university, informing her that her alumni information had been exposed in a breach. As the article linked above makes clear, there may be multiple reasons for this exposure, but databases of personal information and intellectual property are likely to be of much greater interest to potential hackers than our research. Projects involving patents or valuable product and process development are a highly desirable target of both malicious state and non-state actors (recently COVID-19 vaccine research from multiple companies was targeted). This risk is neither unique, nor arguably particularly high when compared with projects of the nature outlined above. Equally, ransomware attacks are likely to continue and increase in frequency irrespective of the projects taking place and arguably mitigations should be considered by all researchers undertaking research (and work). However the cultural construction of 'hackers' inevitably framed how the project was understood and assessed from a security, data governance and research ethics perspective which led it to be scrutinised in a way which other projects, equally at risk of attracting the attention of cyber-attackers, are not. Dismantling these misconceptions is an important step in ensuring research governance processes are attuned to the reality of online risks to our data, institutions and well-being.
Online Harassment, researcher safety and selective paternalism
Second, from the perspective of researcher safety, most academics are already routinely targeted by internet-mediated attacks. Phishing and spear-phishing campaigns are an inevitable product of a public facing role (and freely available email addresses). Ironically, many of these attacks leverage and capitalize on the conditions produced by marketised universities: and the pressure contemporary academics find themselves under to be a jack of all trades. For example, your average academic will need to work through tens of emails per day (for some, this will hit three figures), in addition to planning and delivering teaching, marking assignments and conducting research. The means by which all of these tasks are conducted normally involve a large number of bureaucratic processes, including the attaching of forms, opening of attachments, and asking others to process a payment/payment request. They also tend to do this for long intensive periods without breaks, holidays, due to the pressure to do it all. Ultimately, this creates an ideal environment for social engineering attacks and universities are well aware of this.
Furthermore, scholars have been the targets of harassment and doxxing in various ways for quite some time already, and the internet has simply enabled this further. Various politically and ideologically motivated groups routinely target researchers (e.g. doxxing, online harassment, misinformation) who undertake research on issues related to gender, race, and ethnicity and who are typically politically left leaning. While ethics reviewers often think about how researchers can protect themselves from sensitive topics, it is rare that committees or review processes scrutinise how well researchers are protected from harassment, and what resources institutions have in place to support them in the event that this happens. It is only through the provision of robust support that universities and ethics committees can be confident enough to avoid paternalistic tendencies to reject applications on the basis that the research exposes the individuals undertaking it to too great a risk of harm. It will also avoid the alternative approach where data management teams encourage researchers to create and approve risk assessments in which they must merely accept the risk to themselves, as a condition of being able to move forward. Both approaches raise their own ethical problems.
We have had to come up with ways to protect ourselves, our participants and our data. One golden rule will be that we will not download any files which are sent to us, nor will we send attachments to any participants. We have uploaded all of our documents in plaintext to github where anyone can access them freely, using whatever privacy technologies they wish to protect their anonymity.
We have got a new computer (the source of all the excitement in our first blog post). The aim is that all communication with participants will happen via that computer. This serves a number of privacy and security functions. First, this computer will never be allowed to connect with the University's IT systems or networks. This airgapping approach insulates our traffic from university IP logging (for reasons discussed in the next blog), and also provides assurances to the security team, a condition of our applications approval. This PC is also not running any university software. We are using Qubes OS, a fantastic and freely available privacy oriented OS to run containerised instances on Linux/windows. These virtual machines provide us and our participants an extra layer of security (and very loud fans). To maintain the airgap with our data, our interviews either oral or written, will be recorded or dictated using an analogue voice recorder.
Despite having put this rather clunky risk mitigation strategy in place, a pretty obvious attack route remains: us. We will necessarily continue to open hundreds of emails on our work and personal computers each week. It is the much disfavoured machinery of academic life, and to suggest any researcher (or institution) could ever rule it out as an attack vector would represent the most basic and fundamental misstep. We have done the training, all of the training (Shane has even written some!). We are already on high alert for phishing and other scams, but ultimately – as all social engineers know all too well – we are only human, which makes us the easiest route into most networks. Similarly, another human-related risk is that IT services fail to update older systems. Of course, all research (and techno-mediated work) involves these risks, and our project is no different in this respect. Interestingly, phishing or human-centred security risks were not one of the issues raised by the research governance processes, who focused solely on the technical. This common misunderstanding of how attacks against organisations primarily happen (e.g. classically the NHS, or more recently and catastrophically, the Health Service Executive in the Republic of Ireland), is a testament to how the cultural constructions of hacking and cybercrime not only misrepresent hacking as 'bad', but misrepresent the means by which computer-dependent crimes are committed as involving substantial technical expertise, which distracts from the reality; overburdened IT services being unable to update older systems, overburdened academics opening attachments or clicking links without thinking. These misrepresentations combine to produce a situation that is fundamentally damaging to our collective cybersecurity.
*A reminder: if you are interested in taking part in our project, please take a look at the documents on our github site, and contact us on our protonmail email address: firstname.lastname@example.com (please do not use our university email addresses).

September 21, 1937: The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, is first published by Allen and Unwin with a limited run of 1,500 copies. It sold out in under three months, featuring a color dust cover and story illustrations in black and white by the Professor himself.
Wikipedia has a wonderful breakdown of more-than-you-want-to-know re: The Hobbit. Meanwhile, happy birthday! 85 years is far too short a time to spend amongst such excellent and admirable authorship. Thank you to Tolkien and his children, to Stanley and Rayner Unwin, and all who provided influence, feedback, and audience for Tolkien's first published fantasy novel.
Roads go ever, ever on… and wither then? I cannot say.

Stadiums and football grounds across London have been transformed into vaccination centres in a push to vaccinate as many people as possible against the coronavirus.
This is the first weekend since all adults became eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, after the programme was opened up to those aged 18 to 20 on Friday.
Sky correspondent Laura Bundock was at what was the Olympic Stadium in east London, the home of West Ham United, where she said 15,000 vaccinations were available.
"This was the home of the 2012 Games and certainly there's an Olympic effort under way here today," she said, adding that "hundreds and hundreds" of people were lined up, with the queue snaking all the way around the building.
"One teenager, 18-year-old Matthew, told me his mum woke him up to tell him the news and made him go on and book an appointment.
"Another told me he's due to start university in September and he really hopes this might mean a slightly more normal return to university, to get back on the campus and carry on student life."
Dr Jagan John, chairman of North East London CCG, described the turnout as "fantastic", adding that 10,000 vaccinations had already been booked at the stadium for the day.
Dr John said that pop-up vaccination centres were "crucial" in reaching as many people as possible with the vaccine.
He said: "The average age [in the borough of Newham] is around 30 so… the more we can do to make it convenient and offer choices to our public and residents, then I think that is the right way to go ahead."
Other stadiums and football grounds in London being used as vaccination centres this weekend include Chelsea's ground at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham Hotspur FC, Charlton Athletic FC, Selhurst Park and Crystal Palace Athletics Centre.
At Stamford Bridge, there were 6,000 Pfizer vaccine doses available to those over the age of 18 who are eligible for their first or second dose.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was there and said: "You do not need to be registered with a GP to get vaccinated.
"It is great news that more than eight million doses of the life-saving COVID-19 vaccine have been given to Londoners, and now all adults over the age of 18 are able to get the jab.
"We are seeing the big difference that the vaccine is making in our fight against the virus, so I strongly urge all adult Londoners to book their appointments or attend a walk-in centre as soon as possible, and to ensure you get your second dose."
Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi tweeted: "This is an incredible effort by the whole London team. Happening across the City at Spurs, Arsenal, Charlton and West Ham too. Come on London let's get vaccinated."
The government wants to offer every adult at least a first vaccine dose by 19 July for the best protection possible against the Delta variant, which was first reported in India.

Bee boles and bee keeping at Old St. Alban's Court in Nonington by Peter Hobbs, the present owner.
Bee boles, the recesses in stone or brick walls used to house the skeps of coiled straw or wicker in which most bee keepers kept their bees before the arrival of moveable frame hives in 1862, are not particularly numerous in Kent. The Kent Archaeological Society has over time assiduously published all the major information relating to those in Kent and this note adds a little only to a comprehensive record.
Old St Albans Court is fortunate in its documentation so we know that in 1556, Sir Thomas Hammond rebuilt a substantial part of his ancient manor house in brick. This included providing a Walled Garden to the West, the South East facing wall of which, closest to the North Western end of the house, contains three triangular topped bee boles, each of which is identical in construction to the ones recorded (IBRA Register 288) at the South end of the boundary wall in the Cathedral Close at Canterbury. This boundary wall dates probably from 1547 when a house was built on the South side of the plot.
Our construction is of red brick, three bricks deep for each side for the main body, with two bricks slanting to the triangular top above. The slanting bricks have been rubbed at each end to edge together both at the top and above the side bricks, a small point but elsewhere, except in the ones above in Canterbury, photos seem to show the equivalent bricks being laid head to head at an angle of 90* which requires no shaping of the brick. The dimensions of the bee boles are an height to apex of 12 inches x a width of 9 inches x a depth of 12 inches. They are formed by three bricks on either side each with a fill in ¼ brick at the ends abutting an end course which is part of the fabric of the other side of the wall and from the slight difference in the brick, we assess as part of the 1666 works on the house extension behind. The base of the bee boles is approximately 4 feet above the present ground level which we judge to be about where it always was. The bricks themselves were almost certainly made on site: burning fields are recorded, and the Dover Archaeological Group have revealed the remains of 17th C brick clamps nearby. The incorrect mortaring belongs to sometime in the last century.
We received planning permission to insert a door in the South Eastern facing wall to facilitate entrance to the Walled Garden and, to our surprise, this revealed a further bee bole.
In 1790, William Hammond lavished a large sum on refurbishing and updating his mansion and this included building greenhouses in his Tudor Walled Garden , all the base kitchen garden aspects of which were removed to an entirely newly built and even larger Walled Garden at the side of his Malt House about ¼ mile away. The South Eastern facing wall of this new Garden has been demolished but there is no village memory of it having bee boles in it. At St Albans Court, the Tudor Garden wall was extended upwards, rendered in cement with moveable wooden ventilation shutters built in at the top, a dedicated heating boiler system provided and a large greenhouse built against it. Other heated greenhouses, free standing, were also built at that time. The 1790 render had covered over this bee bole, certainly two others nearer the house, and possibly more to the South. We suggest this because our existing bee boles were at 7 ft intervals and the demolished one exactly conformed to being one of a line as well as in height in the wall.
We then looked further: we knew that a section of the wall had been extended upwards in 1666 as part of other major works on the house and was then supported by a buttress – 7ft from the nearest bee bole – which probably therefore also masks another bee bole.
With certainty we can say that we have a line of six bee boles made in 1556 with the possibility when looking at the wall of another three or possibly four. The render will in time reveal how many as it decays – the 1790 greenhouses were mostly demolished in the 1960s with one free standing one remaining.
In present times, the walled garden has big variations in temperature, not infrequently touching 40*C in summer and going below -10*C in winter. The prevailing winds are from the West and rainfall is markedly lower than within a few miles in every direction. However, birds nest in the bee boles and honey bees are in the ventilation slots in the wall above so the Tudor siting remains valid.
It would seem highly likely that the detailed execution of the desired form of bee boles was left to the individual craftsman. The Cathedral Close bee boles were inserted in the 1547 wall by outside contractors and in this stretch of wall, there are two clusters of bee boles which look similar but actually on inspection are of markedly different construction. (There are more – IBRA 288 – in the Memorial Garden beyond, again of a distinctly different and more complex structure.) Scrutinising the published photos of other recorded bee boles, some are similar but none are identical to ours. Perhaps it was the same itinerant brickie, or his apprentice, that was engaged by Hammond for his Nonington project nearly a decade later?
The IBRA Register records a total of 1591 bee boles in the UK (2017) of which 57 are in Kent. Penelope Walker noted that there seemed to be none South of a line from Sandwich to Ashford and beyond. We sit on that line and the observation still broadly holds true in terms of the current Register. However, the Dover Archaeological Group recorded a fine set of bee boles at Winkland Oakes Farm in Sutton, well South, and it seems likely that alert and observant eyes would yield more.

To compile a list of the Top 10 Greatest Scientists of All Time is not an easy task. There is much controversy about most of the scientists, since their brilliant minds often helped humanity to leap forward, but they made mistakes, too. But, making mistakes is just the necessary toll to pay on the way to revealing something amazing. Also, it must be said that there were a lot of great scientists in the ancient world, be it ancient Greece, Rome, China, Persia (Arabia) or Egypt, who achieved spectacular things, especially if keeping in mind the technology and sources of knowledge available to them back then.
Many more may deserve a place on this list; here are some, just to name a few: Mendel, Faraday, Watson, Boyle, Hahn, Flemming, Planck, Da Vinci, Copernicus, Aristotle, Euclid, Hippocrates, Ibn-Sina, Al-Khwarizmi, Zhang Heng, Zhang Zhongjing and so many others. They all contributed to the human advancement in various areas, and on their heritage scientists keep building their achievements on.
However, here is a list of men and women, who have made a real difference in our modern way of living and understanding our world. The order of the names is not that significant, since each one of the scientists made great contributions to various science fields, hence a comparison is difficult, if not impossible.
#1 – Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727)
Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist and mathematician. He is widely known for laying the foundations for most of classical mechanics. He is acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most significant scientists of all time, since he formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation.

Participant Testimonials
This workshop was an excellent focused week on Hybrid Imaging, putting together practioners and theoreticians of the field for their mutual benefit, and certainly mine. The talks were of excellent quality. I heard for the first time talks from leading actors that I had read before but never interacted with (Mark Anastasios and Alex Oraevsky in particular). The topic is by essence multidisciplinary and transversal to various areas of mathematics, from signal processing to PDE via harmonic analysis and numerical analysis. No mathematician can master an expert knowledge of all the fields involved, and it was crucial to hear direct from leading experts in each field about the state of the art in the various areas involved.
Mathematical Institute, University Of Oxford
I found the workshop exceptionally interesting and useful. Based on results I learned at the meeting and on results that I presented, I started a new collaboration with one of the participants, Gen Nakamura, and may have two other collaborations with two other participants. The venue for interaction is excellent. I particularly note the ability of participants to eat (delicious food) together and discuss the days presented results as well as get to know one another better. The environment is beautiful and through outside activities encourages even more discussion.
The preparation for my talk and giving the talk gave me a good opportunity to clarify and locate my research. By discussing with one of my collaborators, I found a new problem. Also, it was really by a chance from a someone's talk that I got an idea to start my new research which excites me a lot. So, this workshop was a very useful and important workshop for me.
Mathematics, Inha University
BIRS' workshop was very interesting and productive in terms of establishing future collaboration projects between developers of the optoacoustic imaging technology and mathematicians, who provide new algorithmic approaches.

There seem to be new businesses forming every day. With the constant growth of start-ups, so is the importance of having a virtual presence. Deciding to build a website or to trust someone to bring your vision to life via web design/development and protect it can be a very nerve-racking process.
This is very much the case if you are someone that is not tech-savvy or not knowledgeable of the complete website creating process. Finding a webmaster would NOT be a problem, there are hundreds if not thousands of ones to choose from. Finding the RIGHT webmaster will depend on how much HOMEWORK you have done.
When going through the website creating process, I would strongly encourage that you have some of your own content and be prepared to have some questions for your potential webmaster.
Before you read any further, let me answer the question…what is a webmaster? I will keep this as simple as possible. A webmaster is someone who builds, maintains, and secures a website or sometimes many websites.
It is the webmaster's responsibility to make sure that your website stays up and running with ZERO ISSUES! Especially if you have a SECURE PAYMENT process for your visitors if you have an e-commerce site. Or if you have BRUTE-FORCE protection for your login system.
When interviewing (yep…AN INTERVIEW) a webmaster or a digital agency, think of the following things:
Do they have current or past examples of their work?
Will they be able to provide me with a list of current or past clients?
What would they believe to be their best work, and why?
What content publishing, designing, and management tools will they use for building and maintaining the website?
What will be the approach to optimizing my website for search engines?
What special features can you add to my website?
How do you handle security concerns and other possible website difficulties?
Are you skilled with copyright issues?
Who will own the website?
What are your fees and payment terms?
Building a brand and gaining an online presence can be very stressful if matched with an unreliable webmaster/agency.
If you are ready to MOVE FORWARD with your BRAND and are not trying to end up with "The wrong match", visit Kodegistics Design.
These questions you have gained from doing your homework can be answered easily by someone or a team that knows what they are doing. See HOW WE WORK. Fell free to comment and until next time.

How to stop excessive sweating with lemon?
It's summer, the weather is nice, it's hot, and therefore we sweat more!
Sweating is a natural phenomenon; however, it can be particularly embarrassing when it becomes excessive and especially when it comes with smells. Although there are many cosmetic products to help you stop excessive sweating, you can also opt for natural remedies like lemon. Indeed, lemon is a perfect antiperspirant that I've been using for years and has proven itself.
What are the causes of excessive sweating?
In order to be able to stop excessive sweating effectively, it's essential to identify the various factors that can cause it:
- Medical reasons (in this case, I highly recommend you seeing a doctor)
- The stress
- Physical efforts
- Obesity
- Certain foods such as onions, caffeine, hot spices, beer, or even garlic.
Be aware that odours don't come from the sweat itself, but rather from bacteria on the skin. In other words, it's the decomposition of sweat that has a bad smell. To fight bad odours, it's important that you respect certain gestures:
- Wash daily
- Wash again after physical efforts
- Don't wear clothes several times without washing them (especially those you have sweated in)
- Avoid wearing fabrics that make you sweat
- Limit the foods mentioned above
The benefits of lemon to help you stop excessive sweating
Lemon (or lime) has citric acid that helps it fight against excessive sweating. Indeed, this acid has the particularity of reducing perspiration and eliminating the bacteria present on your skin that cause unpleasant odours. Lemon plays the role of both the antiperspirant and the disinfectant.
How to use lemon to stop excessive sweating?
You have two options:
Slices of lemon
Take a lemon and cut it in half or slices. Rub the slice of lemon on your armpits and let it dry for 15 to 30 minutes before cleaning. You can reuse the lemon slice 2-3 times by making sure you put it in a freezer bag before putting it in the fridge.
Lemon juice
If you prefer lemon as a liquid, get a bottle of lemon juice and pour a small amount on a piece of cotton. Rub the cotton on your armpits and let it dry for 15 to 30 minutes before cleaning.
The frequency to apply lemon on your armpits depends on your skin and yourself. Some people use lemon as a regular deodorant and keep it every day and all day long. However, I find the lemon way too acidic to apply it daily and all day long. Personally, I do a "lemon cure" only during periods when I sweat a little more than usual. I apply the lemon as explained in the article, and I do it four times a week for two weeks. That's more than enough for me.
Good to know before applying lemons on your armpits
Here are some important things to know before applying lemon to your armpits:
- Do a test patch first to make sure you do not have allergic reactions. Each skin is different, and the results may vary from one person to another. I don't pretend to be a doctor or having any medical knowledge. I'm only sharing information and my personal experience. Each one engages its responsibility, and I am in no case responsible for your acts, your irritations, or your allergic reactions.
- Avoid applying lemon to your armpits after shaving because it may sting you and irritate your skin.
- Also, avoid exposure to the sun before cleaning your underarms. Otherwise, you may get irritated.
The article is now coming to an end. Were you aware that lemon was a good natural product to stop excessive sweating? Do you know of other natural alternatives?

text: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April housing market trend continues throughout May COLUMBIA, S.C. (June 17, 2020) — South Carolina REALTORS® (SCR) today released its May 2020 market data. The statewide reports indicate a continuation of April activity — waning inventory due to high demand, resulting in an up-tick in prices. Overall, South Carolina had a 12.6% decrease in year-to-date closed sales; an expected decrease due to the ongoing pandemic. But with record interest rates and increased showing activity, the signs are pointing to a busier summer particularly for buyers. "The effects of COVID-19 continue across the broader economy, but real estate activity is beginning to recover. Mortgage rates are hovering near all time lows and we're seeing an increase of showing activity," said SCR President Owen Tyler. Home prices continue to climb with a median price increase of 8.5% from last year, bringing the average price of a house up to $230,000 in South Carolina. Price increases are due in large part to the short amount of time houses are on the market. The May reports reflect a decrease of 6.9% since 2019. SCR reminds buyers that while business continues, it is not business as usual. "We continue to encourage all REALTORS® to conduct their business in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the CDC, as well as the National Association of REALTORS®," said SCR CEO Nick Kremydas. SCR's statewide reports are attached. FastStats are also available at screaltors.org/marketreports. June is National Homeownership Month. SCR encourages current and future homeowners to visit https://homeownershipmatters.realtor/ or use #CreatingHome to learn more about the benefits of owning a home as well as policies and programs that promote homeownership. ### South Carolina REALTORS® (SCR), the largest professional trade association in the state, serves as the voice of real estate for more than 24,000 members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries. REALTOR® is a registered trademark that identifies a professional in real estate who subscribes to a strict code of ethics as a member of SCR and the National Association of REALTORS®. |

Das war schön! – A tribute to Mozart by Rolf Wallin
31st October 2006
Rolf Wallin's new concerto for percussion and orchestra will receive its world premiere on 17 November at the Großer Saal in the Vienna Musikverein, with soloist Martin Grubinger from Salzburg and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Axelrod.
The five movements of the concerto focus on different musical and biographical sides of the picture of Mozart. The title Das war schön! (That was nice!) is a comment that Mozart noted in his work catalogue when he noticed that his pet bird called 'Vogel Star' was able to sing the main theme of his 17th piano concerto.
The work has been commissioned by Wiener Mozartjahr 2006 and Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra who will give the Norwegian premiere in February 2007.

Former Arsenal star, Aaron Ramsey robbed Cristiano Ronaldo of the chance to break Lionel Messi's record in their Champions League clash against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Ronaldo is hoping to become the first player to score against 34 Champions League teams.
The Portugal international would surpass Lionel Messi and Raul, who are both on 33 if he bags against Lokomotiv Moscow.
Ronaldo thought he'd scored after just three minutes on Wednesday night.
Alvim Marinato let Ronaldo's free-kick through his legs and the ball trickled towards the goal line.
ALSO READ: I've run out of words for Messi -Valverde
However, just before it crossed the line, Ramsey toed the ball in to steal Ronaldo's goal.
And fans were fuming with former Arsenal star Ramsey for poking the ball home.
One wrote on Twitter: "Ramsey really stole Ronaldo's only free-kick goal."
Another said: "Ramsey Took Ronaldo's Goal? His Days At Juve Are Numbered."
"I thought they gave it to Ronaldo but Ramsey told Cris it was all him," said a fellow fan.
Another said: "Cristiano Ronaldo must be furious. Ramsey literally stole his free-kick goal."
Ronaldo is hoping to have a better outing than his arch-rival Messi in the Champions League.
ALSO READ: Celtic charged over fan behaviour at Lazio
Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw at the Nou Camp on Tuesday night against Slavia Prague.
Messi hit the post after a sensational run, however, the Spanish giants couldn't breakthrough.
Following Ramsey's opener, Aleksey Miranchuk levelled the scoreline for Lokomotiv Moscow in the 12th minute.
A win for Juventus in Moscow on Wednesday would leave Ronaldo and co-top of Group D after four games.
The Italian giants would be on 10 points, four ahead of Lokomotiv Moscow in second.
Juventus are back in action in Serie A on the weekend, with the champions welcoming AC Milan to the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has singled out Manchester United's Paul Scholes as the best midfielder of his generation, and says there are no favourites in next week's Champions League final between the two teams.
Barca meet United on May 28 in a repeat of the 2009 Rome finale, which the Catalans won 2-0 to clinch a unique Liga, Copa and Champions League treble as the coach scooped all before him in his first season in charge.
"Manchester United are a fantastic rival, but they have an advantage because two years ago they lost to us – winning [games like that] can confuse you," Guardiola told a press conference.
"You can't be favourites in a final against Manchester United anyway – they are a great team."
And Guardiola did not hide his feelings about the Premier League champions.
"I admire them," he said.
"They sold Cristiano [Ronaldo] and they are still winning."
Guardiola played against players like Scholes and Ryan Giggs in Champions league clashes between the two clubs when he was a midfield general for Barca.
"Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes – he is the best midfielder of his generation," he said.
"I would have loved to have played alongside him."
Andres Iniesta also praised United's veteran duo and he spoke of his anticipation ahead of another final against the Red Devils.
"Scholes and Giggs are still great players; they are a point of reference in their team," Iniesta said.
"United are a great team with great players – and they like to play good football."
The Spain international still looks back at the Rome final with good memories.
"It was a very special game," he added.
"It was a special season and we really wanted to finish it on a high; Manchester United got off to a strong start, but we scored the first goal and from then on we were able to control the game."
Barca are likely to have a full-strength squad available as Sergio Busquets has been cleared to play in the final by Uefa, after the governing body decided not to punish the midfielder for an alleged racist remark made to Real Madrid's Marcelo in the recent Champions League semi-final first-leg.
"Busquets is such an important player for us and his presence at Wembley will be key," Iniesta said.
The midfielder is eyeing a goal at Wembley, but said he would step back if it meant winning.
"It would be special but it doesn't matter who scores," he said.
"I've played a lot of games and I've been able to score some goals as well – it has been a great season for us and the fans have enjoyed it."
Barca travel to Malaga for their last Liga fixture tomorrow.
Having claimed the title, Guardiola may rest some stars for Wembley, like he did in last weekend's goalless draw at home to Deportivo La Coruna.
"We have to play a professional game, whoever plays," Guardiola said.
The league clash kicks off at 18:00 CET.

The Commissioner – who launched an Economic Governance Framework Review earlier this month – briefed the ministers ahead of this morning's EU General Affairs Council (GAC) meeting in Brussels.
The review announced by Gentiloni has been strongly welcomed by the progressive family. Today's meeting at the PES reiterated our view that the process must focus on pushing forward investments for a new growth model for Europe, based around a new growth strategy anchored in the European Green Deal and a Just Transition that leaves no one behind.
The Economic Governance Framework Review is an opportunity to move Europe forward towards a sustainable and inclusive future, anchored in investments in sustainability which modernise the economy, achieve social progress, ensure a fair climate and digital transition, and generate strong economic growth.
The PES meeting, chaired by German Minister of State for Europe Michael Roth, brought together ministers from Germany, Finland, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia and Sweden, and representatives from the PES and the S&D.
The meeting also discussed other issues on the agenda of today's GAC, including accession negotiations with North Macedonia and Albania.

Rotersand – How Do You Feel Today? (Album – Trisol / Metropolis Records)
Genre/Influences: Future-pop, EBM, body-pop.
Format: Digital, CD, Vinyl.
Background/Info: German duo Rascal Hüppe (vocals) and Krischan Wesenberg (music & production) have been active as Rotersand since the early Millennium years. They earlier this year struck back with the seventh studio album "How Do You Feel Today?", which also is the first one since 2016.
Content: We have to agree the title of this work sounds like a pure rhetorical question. Rotersand remains interested in social criticism, but it first of all also remains an intelligent electronic project driven by the creative spirit of Krischan Wesenberg and the captivating vocals of Rascal. The album doesn't sound that different from previous releases. There's a fine twist between slower, dreamy cuts and harder, danceable pieces. It injects diversity into the work. The songs are once more elaborated and accomplished with great sound treatments and carrying leads and especially the second part of the album reveals efficient songs.
+ + + : What is the best Rotersand album in history? Maybe the first one "Truth Is Fanatic" or the second one "Welcome to Goodbye"? Or "Random Is Resistance"? I'm afraid we all have our favorite one, but this new opus will be for sure nominated to win the ward. There are several outstanding songs featured here; songs that are elaborated, sophisticated with brilliant sound arrangements and transcendental passages, but still accomplished with catchy tones and carrying choruses. On top of it all you'll hear the charisma of Rascal Hüppe. "When You Go" is according to me one of the best Rotersand songs in history, but I also have to mention "Whatever" as other potential hit. But there also is "Hot Ashes" and "I Feel, You Don't" and "X". Rotersand strikes back with a bang and the dancefloors gone know it!
– – – : Some songs in the beginning of the CD are nice, but without a similar climax as the aforementioned pieces.
Conclusion: Seven is a magical number in alchemy and "How Do You Feel Today?" sounds as the work of a true sound alchemist!
Best songs: "When You Go", "Whatever", "Hot Ashes", "I Feel, You Don't", "X", "Who Are We Now?".
Rate: (9).

With the dawn of the Internet have come many new advertising opportunities. Popup, Flash, banner, and email advertisements (the last often being a form of spam) abound. Recently, the advertising community has attempted to make the adverts themselves desirable to the public. In one example, Cadillac chose to advertise in the movie 'The Matrix Reloaded', which as a result contained many scenes in which Cadillac cars were used. Similarly, product placement for Rolex watches and BMW cars featured in recent James Bond films.
Each year, greater sums are paid to obtain a commercial spot during the Super Bowl. Companies attempt to make these commercials sufficiently entertaining that members of the public will actually want to watch them.
Particularly since the rise of "entertaining" advertising, some people may like an advert enough that they wish to watch it later or show a friend. In general, the advertising community has not yet made this easy, although some have used the Internet to widely distribute their adverts to anyone wishing to see or hear them.

22 Apr Other ways of seeing – How technology changes the way we see – Projection Mapping
A couple of years ago, I came across "Dance and Video Mapping Performances" online, and it completely blew my mind. During the performance, the dancer's movement merged seamlessly with the dynamic visuals of the projection. He seemed to be dancing in a space without gravity and limitation. As a filmmaker and content creator, seeing animated graphic pieces projected on such a large scale was fascinating. Soon after, I started to look into the idea of projection mapping and fell in love with it.
Over the past two years, FILMARTIST Creative has hosted many events. For two of them, we decided to incorporate projection mapping to enhance the core aesthetic tone for attendees. The results were dynamic and compelling visual experiences. Here is the video of one of our events that using fashion and art into the projection mapping project.
What is projection mapping?
Projection mapping, also known as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technology used to turn objects or surfaces into a display surface. It's a visual experience that adds another dimension to video making.
Who's behind the work of projection mapping?
Projection mapping is the best way to bring sculpture, video display, painting, music and poetry together. Unlike other art forms, it creates an opportunity to bring artists from diverse backgrounds and practices, working together with the developer who is the master of coding. In this way, it conveys layers of meanings and messages. The medium becomes the message.
How it influences the way we see
Projection mapping, as one of digital art use for commercial purposes, can frequently engage the viewer interactively. As most viewers are used to seeing images or videos appear on a screen, projected videos give illusions and trick our minds into an immersive world via a novel experience.
When we experience projection mapping, we become a participant in creating the work itself. To me, we are part of the work instead of viewing it as an outsider. "The surprising awareness of space and interaction with the works invokes a sense of fun for the audience." It also changes the way we experience space.
How to make simple projection mapping
We come up with three simple steps to illustrate how projection mapping is made. You can experiment with some ideas and see what comes up. Then imagine it on a larger scale. The possibilities are limitless. Check out our new Instagram post for more details.
The future of projection mapping
Projection mapping is a great way to create visual experiences that can be enjoyed by large groups of people at the same time in a way that brings people together. If you want to tell a cinematic visual story in the public, projection mapping is definitely the best choice.
It's not just about the message, but the layers of techniques that make the difference. In the contemporary world, collaboration is essential. The chemistry between artists and tech masters are intriguing.
Interactivity likely will be the next stage in the evolution of projection mapping. When it is animated in a way that inspires individuals to move or touch, people are more likely to become part of the experience that leaves a great impression in their minds.
The whole experience of the EN TEA HOUSE, from the smell to the sound, was fully immersive. I still clearly remember the atmosphere, how the flower is slowly growing inside the teacup. The hint of tea taste lingered while I took each sip of the tea.
Do you ever remember the whole experience of drinking a cup of tea? Projection mapping indeed creates magic.
Explore and give some thoughts to your own projection mapping project. Bring your future exhibition to life with this technology and create a memorable experience into the artistic universe.
If there are any questions, please send us an email. We are excited to hear about what's in your mind and what story you want to tell through projection mapping?

It is not easy to make a decision to have your uterus removed. Such a decision effectively ends your future hopes of becoming a parent once more and abruptly throws you into menopause. You know the discomfort that can come with this state including hot flashes and mood swings. However, there comes a time when a hysterectomy is needed, not only used in family planning and infertility in Napa. At Adventist Health, John H. Kirk, MD, and his team of experts have successfully helped several patients get relief from pain and discomfort. Hysterectomy has also proved to be life-saving among patients suffering from life-threatening conditions.
Below, we examine the reasons why it may be best for you to undergo a hysterectomy.
1. Cancer
We start with the most ominous reason, cancer. This is a leading cause of hysterectomies in the United States. If you have been diagnosed with an aggressive strain of cancer affecting one of the organs in the reproductive system, this may work for you. Your doctor will go this route as it is the first line of defense in stopping the spread of the disease.
Even though the main goal of the procedure is to remove the uterus, your doctor may as well remove other surrounding organs including the fallopian tube, cervix, and ovaries, if they are found to have been affected by the spread of the disease.
2. Uterine Fibroids and Heavy Bleeding During Menstruation
You may develop fibroids before reaching menopause. If your growths fail to respond to medication, your doctor may recommend a hysterectomy. Uterine wall growths can lead to heavy and painful periods and delicate pregnancies, which can put your life at risk. Change in hormone levels and persistent infections in the reproductive system can lead to heavy and inconsistent periods.
3. Endometriosis
This is a condition where the uterine lining grows outside this reproductive organ. Endometriosis affects 1 in every 10 women in the United States. The condition can cause you to have heavy periods and pain and discomfort when out of the menstrual cycle.
4. Uterine Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse is a common problem in women after menopause. The condition occurs when the uterus collapses into your vagina. Your doctor will start with conservative treatment methods including pessaries or pelvic floor exercises, to help support and strengthen the uterus. If the initial treatment plan fails to give you relief, John H. Kirk, MD, will recommend a hysterectomy to help permanently solve the problem.
Parting with part of your reproductive system can be emotionally draining. You will require a skilled surgeon to take you through this delicate procedure. We understand that this is a life-altering procedure, which is why you can count on us to provide services that are full of empathy, compassion, and gentleness. Adventist Health provides the latest surgical procedures to help reduce risks associated with surgery and decrease the downtime after surgery. Visit us today to learn more about hysterectomy to help decide if it can be your best bet.

Re-discover Canada's coolest grape
By Carmelo Giardina
One of the world's most versatile wines, riesling is grown in regions around the globe and is increasing in popularity among winemakers and consumers alike – especially in New World countries like New Zealand, Australia, the United States and Canada. As a cool-climate grape, it can be grown in many areas where the climate is not conducive to growing other varieties.
Joyfully aromatic, food friendly and filled with personality, riesling wines deftly reflect the unique terroir of its region and vineyard. Made in a wide range of styles, it is no wonder that this wine is a favourite of chefs, sommeliers and wine professionals.
It's unclear as to where riesling was first born, but most believe that it hails from Germany in the regions near the Rhine River. The grape was documented as early as the 1400s, and as producers moved their vines up steep slopes into poor soils over time, riesling boomed.
By the turn of the 20th century, riesling was the king of white wines and often served by royalty around the world. It's seen its ups and downs since then, but its popularity is steadfast in Canada, where the grape thrives in all of the key wine-producing provinces, but especially so in Ontario and British Columbia (Quebec and Nova Scotia are the other two).
With its cool-weather climate, Ontario enjoys a special status as one of the few regions in the New World where riesling is a signature variety. In fact, it accounts for 17 percent of Ontario's total annual production, with more than 96 wineries producing an annual average of 400,000 cases of riesling, some with vineyards that are now more than 30 years old.
The Okanagan in British Columbia is one of the world's most northerly wine regions, with a latitude that is comparable to those in France's Alsace, Germany's Mosel and Rheingau, and Austria's Wachau – regions that arguably produce the world's best rieslings. Many vineyards in BC benefit from large diurnal temperature shifts, which is the difference between the warmest temperature in the day to the coolest temperature at night. Riesling loves this because cool nights enable growers to maintain riesling's hallmark acidity.
Although it is often consumed young, riesling wines have high acidity and can last and improve in the bottle for decades. Over the course of aging, the wine often develops a chemical compound known as TDN. High concentrations of this compound impart an almost petrol-like aroma. While it might sound off-putting, wine enthusiasts view the petrol aroma as a hallmark of high-quality aged riesling.
In its younger form, riesling is known for expressive fruity, floral notes. Depending on where the grapes are grown, the fruit character can range from bright citrus to luscious stone fruits and pineapple. Jasmine and citrus blossom are common floral descriptors, while it's not uncommon to also pick up honey, beeswax, ginger, minerality and that signature petrol note.
Within Canada, riesling can be made bone dry, off dry, lusciously sweet, or everything in between. It's often used for producing Icewine, specifically in Niagara, and riesling Icewine is widely considered to be the most prized of the Icewine varietals. Its naturally high acidity is the perfect foil for the style's high sugar levels. The best examples are super aromatic, crisp and refreshing, focused and intense, with a mouth-watering acidity that makes you thirsty for more.
Martin's Lane 2016 'Naramata Ranch' Riesling
This particular single vineyard riesling comes from vines that sit on red granite and volcanic, silty soil. According to winemaker Shane Munn, "The Okanagan is a very unique and dynamic place to grow and make riesling. The soils are challenging." The style here is off-dry, textured and complex. Munn pushes the skin contact more (to around 48 hours) and uses more alternative vessels (1,250L German oak and ceramic for the fermentation and elevage). The results are phenomenal, with tantalizing floral and wet stone aromas that lead to tangy and savoury flavours of tangerine, lemon and minerality on the palate. Definitely a step up in price from most, but the reward is absolute. ($55)
Cave Spring 2017 'CSV' Riesling
Crafted from the finest parcels at their estate in Jordan, Ontario, this dry, complex riesling embodies Cave Spring's highest commitment to quality and authenticity. The nose is complex, with aromas of wet stone, grapefruit, pear, honeycomb and ginger. Medium bodied and seamless, the palate is creamy up front with a rich, dense and mineral middle offering ripe orange, pear, honeyed almonds and spice. Riesling is always fashionable with spicy homemade foods but try this one with Ontario trout with dill sauce. ($29.95)
CedarCreek 2019 Platinum 'Block 3' Riesling
One of the original eight wineries in British Columbia, CedarCreek makes three different rieslings from their home vineyard on the eastern shores of Okanagan Lake. This Platinum Block 3 riesling is sourced from a single block planted in 1991. Fermented in stainless steel and some oak foudres (large oak vessels), this is rich and remarkably textured. Lime zest, wet stone, nectarine, dried apricot and lemon blossom. It's got wonderful complexity with beautiful acidity that lingers on and on. ($30)
Thirty Bench 2017 'Wild Cask' Riesling
Crafting world-renowned wines for over 25 years now, Thirty Bench has firmly placed itself among some of Canada's finest wineries. The winery sits on one of the most important pieces of vineyard real estate in the country. In fact, this was a trailblazing property first planted to riesling in 1980. This 'Wild Cask' offering is fermented with wild yeasts in neutral wood puncheons and held in bottle for a year. It's medium-bodied and off-dry with a very textured mouthfeel and intriguing aromas of wet stone, lemon, pear and green apple. Refreshing mineral notes and pineapple linger on the finish. ($29.95)

We have all had that moment when someone (usually a skeleton in a dress carrying a flagon of sherry at a wedding) comes up to us and says without being asked:
"I'm 80, you know."
Really? you think. I thought you were 104 if looked at through slit-eyes in a semi-lit room. It is just hard to believe the facts you are being presented with. So how about this? It was reported this week that landlords are facing a £4.5 billion rent shortfall by the end of this most torrid of years for them, as collection rates continue to suffer amid a Government ban on evictions and aggressive rent collection. It seems only to be news because the newsworthy part of it is that it is not news in the way it was presented. We think the number seems low. What do you think? Of course £4.5 billion is a large number, but with a gun to our heads we would have doubled it as a guess.
Remit Consulting, who analysed about 125,000 leases, projected the annual figure after finding that five weeks after the September rent quarter pay day, 27.3 per cent of rents had not been collected, along with 30.2 per cent of service charge payments. At the same stage in the March quarter, 26 per cent of rents had not been collected and 37 per cent of service charge payments. These numbers were so horrifying that we started to feel sorry for landlords half way through reading them, before Michelle brought a bottle of Prosecco into the office and we thought better of it.
Steph Yates, senior consultant at Remit Consulting, said that the Government's moratorium on evictions and aggressive rent collection had temporarily eased the prospect of CVAs being exercised, but she added that property managers, asset managers and investors feared mass CVAs. We very kindly sent Steph (a great friend of the NTI newsroom) a link to the NTI app to update her on L K Bennett and Caffè Nero who both succumbed to such Arrangements this week (and that is just from yesterday's news). We don't agree with her that the prospect of CVAs are in any way temporarily easing, after all they even came up on the JIEB's Corporate Insolvency Paper on Tuesday.
A survey by one of NTI's favourite organisations, the ONS, which pre-dated the latest spell of lockdown restrictions, reported that footfall on England's pristine and well-swept streets had fallen by 24 per cent before the start of the latest period of lockdown, and experts were on hand to warn that the restrictions will cause another economic shock that will see GDP shrink in the final three months of the year. More CVAs to come? More misery for landlords? We think, 'yes' and 'yes'. But have you seen the new John Lewis Christmas ad? It is sweet enough to even cheer property owners up.

Daijiworld Media Network – Dubai (DV) Dubai, May 19: Kiran Stephen John D'Silva, a 47-year-old man is undergoing treatment at Mediclinic Hospital in Dubai for intracerebral haemorrhage. Kiran collapsed in the washroom of his residence on May 12, 2021. Immediately, after the incident, Kiran was rushed to the Mediclinic Hospital and the CT scan of the brain taken in the hospital showed intracerebral haemorrhage. Immediately, the doctors performed brain surgery to remove the blood clot. At present, his right side is paralyzed and he is in a critical condition.
A year ago, Kiran lost his job due to the pandemic. Failure to support his family, led him into severe anxiety. In addition, his medical insurance and work visa was terminated. Though the family tried to work with the insurance agency, there was no luck. As it was the beginning of the Eid holidays, the family was unable to obtain a new medical insurance. Therefore, Kiran's wife is desperately trying to raise funds to offset Kiran's medical expenses. Till now, Kiran's surgery expenses were Dhs 80,000 (INR 16 lac) and ICU cost is Dhs 10,000 per day (INR 2 lac). As the latest CT scan showed bleeding in the brain and he is sedated, it will take few days to normalize the bleeding. According to his doctor, he will be in the ICU for approximately 18 days. The total hospital expenses are approximately Dhs 500,000 (INR 1 crore) excluding medication, rehab, and other expenses (extra tests and procedures). Kiran hails from Pumpwell in Mangaluru. He has a 5-year-old son and wife. As the family is not able to bear the hospital expenses, they have humbly requested the donors to come forward and help Kiran in his treatment. Those who wish to help Kiran, can send their contributions to the following bank details: In India: Account number: 055801655281 Bank Name: ICICI Bank IFSC Code: ICIC0000558 Account Name: Edel Andrea Peresor VPA (UPI ID): edelperes24@icici (GPay/PhonePe)

Get well soon brother. Praying for your speedy recovery.
An UPI ID would have made it easier for Indians for payment.
Upi is mentioned dear. Edel's upi is mentioned.
Oh yes, Thank you.
Dubai Government don't provide any free medical facilities what?
Yes. They do. But he is in Private hospital.
All residents have Health Insurance but his insurance was already expired but nobody noticed. Now insurance have raised their hands.
As per UAE Government Rules, all employers must provide medical insurance to their employees . unfortunately Kirans Medical insurance had expired just 6 days before he fell ill. All medical expenses are to be paid by the person or by his employer.
Dear Prabhu Sir U *A* E provided free C19 vaccines with a luxury, we can choose Vaccines with varieties free of charge. When it come to Insurance, here every person should have a medical Insurance asp the regulations. Mostly provided by the employer and its very good. Kindly read the article properly. Dear Kiran's Insurance is expired for whatsoever the reason Hope this clarification suffices your concern.
Hi, Kiran you are in our daily prayers. Will keep doing that. A kind request to the donors, please come forward to help our friend who is in need. Get well soon brother.
Please use Tool Kit.
We pray for his fast recovery.
Get Well Soon
Can provide contact number of his family in Dubai please.
Hi, you can contact +971 50 6732315
Be clear and concise and bold enough
So sorry to hear this. It's our duty to help that too when he is from our own place. I am aware, we have many more Mangalorean living in UAE. Please come forward and donate from 100 to 1000 AED. I want to mention some point here. I hear lot of people staying here even after loosing jobs. They feel good to think that they will find new job . Job market in UAE is not rosy at this time . Once you loose job , you loose visa and insurance. Please go back then search from home country for any job if you want. So many cases of overstay, then running pillars for donations.
I am totally endorsing your suggestion. Living in Dubai without job and Insurance is crime, specially if spouse is not working. Medicare is costliest hospital in Dubai , should have first admitted in emergency to a government hospital, then shifted to private hospitals whose charges are reasonable. There are many.
Get Well Soon ...
We pray for Mr. Kiran speedy recovery. Also donors to come forward for financial support during his family difficulty time.
Get well soon my friend, Praying for your speedy recovery..
Hope he gets well soon.
Get well soon Bro, our prayers are with you
Get well soon my dear friend... Praying for your speedy recovery.
I pray for his speeedy recovery may the almighty cure him aameen.
In fact, this has been circulated in WhatsApp group recently in UAE. I did my little contribution here in Dubai itself. I hope that all like minded people will contribute generously too.
