DO Terra Alta – 2019: A southern kind of lovely
A Spanish wine region with great vineyards and wines that are just starting to show a brilliance that's been hiding in plain site is most assuredly not a new story–although it's one I'm always happy to tell.
It's probably not a stretch to say that DO Terra Alta isn't readily placed on anyone's world wine maps but for reference, it's nearly at the very southern point of Catalunya (in Spain's northeast on the Mediterranean coast and not by Basque Country.) This would mean that in terms of closest regions, you'd have DOQ Priorat and DO Montsant to the north, DO Cariñena a bit further to the west, and then the DOs of València to the south. Those family with Spain's grapes might then imagine it's a region dominated by Grenache/Carignan with perhaps a splash of Bobal or even Monastrell you see in València.
Indeed, the first batch of grapes have their place in Terra Alta with plenty of old bush vines of Grenache and to a lesser degree, Carignan finding themselves in pleasing climes. Monastrell for some reason gets the short straw–much as it does in DOQ Priorat–and Bobal doesn't make any appearance. So, yes, pretty classic in terms of grapes.
It may seem like we're all done here and you can sleep soundly knowing, "DO Terra Alta? Well that's a nice red-producing region with what sounds like up-and-coming wines to make note of. Thanks!" Of course, it's never that simple as shown by the production totals for 2018 wherein it's plain to see that the region is dominated by white grapes, not red, at 53%. Of this, more than half is White Grenache which the region has rightfully decided to hang their hat upon as their signature grape; doubly smart as they have 33% percent of all the White Grenache vineyards in the world.
But, there's even more to Terra Alta than White Grenache as the red Grenache comes in a variety of mutations including the standard red grape, Hairy Grenache, and then Garnatxa Tintorera which is actually Alicante Bouschet, although one of its parents was Grenache. But beyond these and the fact that Syrah grows very well, there's Morenillo which, now that it's officially approved for use most likely has a bright future as well.
I've watched the evolution of the wines from DO Terra Alta for nearly a decade now and whenever a magazine editor would contact me and ask, "Hey, what ya got for a Spain article?", I'd answer, "How about DO Terra Alta?" The editor at the other end would usually come back with, "Hmm, what else?"
It feels like mainstream wine publications are always playing a game of vinous chicken wherein no one ever wants to be the first to present a (non-French) region that may be new to their readers. Then, suddenly, everyone is covering it and wherever you turn, it's "that" region. Admittedly, this turning point is brought on by a sudden splurge of sponsored press trips, but not always.
In the next issue of Decanter I have a profile of Terra Alta coming out. But, before this came to be, I grew quite tired of trying to get the word out and so I sat down last fall to taste the entire production of the region which has now resulted in the first-ever DO Terra Alta Report that you can go download immediately.
There are some exceedingly-lovely wines in Terra Alta at the moment and I don't want to single out any one producer as while some have brilliant wines across the board and others may have one or two star bottles, the fact is, everyone is producing great wines these days–even the cooperatives. I can't say that about too many regions and sure, there are only 50 or so cellars in Terra Alta, but it's still worthy to note.
After many years of work on their part, DO Terra Alta is in a great moment. What quality has been emerging to date can be easily expanded upon as there are 40 million kg of grapes produced but less than 25% of that is being sold as bottled wine. Thus, there's room for more to join the party and who wouldn't as it's a strikingly-beautiful place, maybe even more so than Priorat. Admittedly, it's a long way down there and far from Barcelona but undoubtedly, that's part of the appeal and in case I forgot to mention, there's great wine.

Both Luke Cage and Doctor Strange made a big splash with viewers and critics alike, but now the Netflix series and the Marvel Studios blockbuster have officially been lauded by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films at the organization's annual award ceremony, the Saturn Awards. Such was the case for other series of comic book origin, too, like Supergirl and The Walking Dead.
The organization's name is something of a misnomer these days. While the award ceremony was once limited to films in the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres, over the years it has expanded to included television and home releases – thus the inclusion of a shows like Luke Cage and The Walking Dead.
RELATED: Krypton, Black Lightning Pilots to Screen at SDCC
Doctor Strange took home the award for Best Comic-to-Film Motion Picture, while Luke Cage tied with Stranger Things for Best New Media TV Series. It wasn't a night solely for Marvel, though. The CW's Supergirl snatched up the award for Best Superhero Adaptation TV Series, and The Walking Dead was named the Best Horror TV Series.
Numerous movie actors were also called out for their outstanding performances. Ryan Reynolds was named Best Actor in a Film for Deadpool, Tilda Swinton was named Best Supporting Actress in a Film for her role in Doctor Strange and Tom Holland was awarded Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Captain America: Civil War.
RELATED: WBTV Announces Arrowverse, Black Lightning, Krypton & More SDCC Panels
For television, Melissa Benoist was named Best Actress on Television for Supergirl, Andrew Lincoln was dubbed Best Actor on Television for The Walking Dead, Candice Patton was named Best Supporting Actress on Television for her role on The Flash and Jeffrey Dean Morgan took home the award for Best Guest Star on Television for The Walking Dead. Riverdale star KJ Apa received the Breakthrough Performance Award for the year.
The full list of winners can be found at the Saturn Awards' home website.

What is a fiber connection
Fiber optic cable works by transporting light pulse signals and is less likely to be affected by external factors. Fiber optic cable can perform consistently for many decades. Electronic components at each end of a fiber connection can be easily upgraded to maintain and enhance reliability and performance throughout the long usable service life of the optical cable.
What does a fiber connection offer?
In an increasingly technological world, the average household has 7 – if not more – active connected devices. These devices may include smartphones, computers, tablets, and even home security systems. The more devices that you have connected to your home Internet connection, the more overall speed you need to support them. A high speed Internet connection will allow you and your loved ones to utilize your service to do the things you enjoy:
- Streaming TV shows, movies, and video. With a high speed fiber connection, you can stream content at amazing speeds with little to no buffering or delays.
- Video conferencing. Whether you are working from home or catching up with loved ones across the world, you need a reliable Internet connection and lightning-fast speeds. With a high-speed Internet connection, the frequent disconnects, frozen picture, and poor video quality are things of the past.
- Downloading and uploading photos, videos, and files. Smartphones and cameras continue to improve their image quality, resulting in files that are larger and can take longer to upload to social media or download from an email. With fiber, these wait times are cut down to seconds.
- Online Gaming. As online gaming grows in popularity, so has the need for an Internet connection that is incredibly fast and reliable. With our fiber connection, your gaming experience will be smoother with fewer delays and disconnects.
With our high speed fiber Internet service, you will be able to use multiple devices at once without sacrificing speed, efficiently work from home using the highest speeds available, stream your favorite shows, download videos, and upload photos with very little wait time.
What is Gig Service?
Gig – or gigabit – service is equal to 1000 megabits per second. It's incredibly fast, reliable, and it's now available from your local Internet service provider
Where is the fiber cable located?
Within the exchanges, several different types of equipment are used to deliver high speed connections. Some exchanges are all FTTH and we can provide up to SuperNet GIG connection speeds. Some are both FTTH and copper. The customers on the FTTH connections can receive the faster connections but the copper customers will have limited connection speed options depending on the length of the copper cable between their location and the company equipment. Some exchanges have not been upgraded and continue to run on an all copper cable network. Listed below are the company exchanges and the current cable facilities.

Opening a webshop ?
I have an idea. I'm quite creative, and there's lot of stuff like jewellery I'd like to have, but I can't find it anywhere, and I bet lots of people have the same problem as me, and the same style as me. So.. what if I make those things myself, and sell them? I'd make some money out of it, and it's a good practice for school and stuff.

On the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the United States, 9/11/01
An earlier conversation between two friends about a culture of fear, acquiescence, silence; the topic is Palestine & Israel, the problem showing my photos:
August 21, 2008
Hi Anne,
I'm forwarding my note to Z because I thought you might be interested and can share some wisdom.
I've had a rough time finding sponsors for this photographic tour. Rougher than usual. Virtually no one so far has stepped forward to offer support. This includes people who I'm sure would be sympathetic but for various reasons other than what I write below have not found time to respond. Only the American Friends Service Committee in San Francisco has offered help (so far). I suspect that an overriding concern now is latent fear of the backlash, the Israel lobby as so effectively portrayed by Mearsheimer and Walt in their ground-breaking book, The Israel Lobby.
Any thoughts, analysis, suggestions?
Thanks and love,
Dear Z (forwarded to Anne),
One slight reflection on the current dilemma with your peace group sponsoring a presentation by me:
The picture is much wider than your group and me, wider than Israel and Palestine. It extends to the entire societal malaise, in my view: a culture of silence, acceptance, acquiescence. This is reminiscent of the 1950s when the entire nation was terrorized by the threat of communism. The stinking bodies and long fanged folks that bob referred to, scaring away others, in that era of silence were most anyone daring to question the mainstream ideology. Communist! Anti American! Anti Semite!
Here is Thomas Merton on that topic:
Every slightest effort at opening up new areas of thought, every attempt to perceive new aspects of truth, or just a little truth, is of inestimable value in preparing the way for the light we cannot see…In actual fact it would seem that during the Cold War, if not during World War II, this country has become frankly a warfare state built on affluence, a power structure in which the interests of big business, the obsessions of the military, and the phobias of political extremists both dominate and dictate our national policy. It also seems that the people of the country are by and large reduced to passivity, confusion, resentment, frustration, thoughtlessness and ignorance, so that they blindly follow any line that is unraveled for them by the mass media. (Emphasis added)
—Thomas Merton, 1963, Cold War Letters
This is a time to be still no longer…a time for crying out—as Hebrews cried out in bondage and Jesus on the cross… We need to give vent to our massive pain and fear. A people must move from muteness to outcry if it is ever going to take the next step.
—Harvey Cox

This is such a tough situation, Skip. So very frustrating. In Ann Arbor Meeting when we were blocked by such concerns voiced by just a few, we held back with presentations for quite a while. Just lately they are asking for us to share more. But even in those discussions, there's usually someone who worriedly objects to "one-sidedness."
I'll share your situation with our Palestine Israel Action Group chair, HF, who is very discreet and discerning. Maybe she will have some suggestions.
I've responded to the situation in some ways by hyping J Street, Brit Tzedek, Jewish Voice for Peace, Israel Policy Forum, and the Israeli Palestinian Center for Research and Information (on the QuakerPI website). I really do believe that leery people may become more open to discussion if they hear about this sea change in vocal, political, and public work by moderate U.S. and Israeli Jews who greatly support the existence of Israel, but who believe that its survival depends upon its making peace with its neighbors and having a viable Palestinian state.
I also believe people can hear Anna Baltzer because she "gives information and facts" rather than directly blasting Israeli govt. policies. Her presentational approach gets the viewer to form a conclusion. I've heard her say privately that this is a deliberate approach. But she's she and thou art thee. You are following your Light, so to speak.
Anyway, this is all why I don't use the "hard" approach that you mentioned in a recent letter about QuakerPi. I take your words to heart and am working to make sure QPI has much info about the suffering of the Pals and Israel's seeming blockage of peace moves. I think and try to show that their governmental structure is fragmented and that they play to the deepseated fear of many Jews and that elements like the Settlers and the Orthodox block forward moves toward peace. We surely have the same situation in the US. Your Merton quotes are just fantastic. Will share 'em around."
Anyway, my thought is that there's another path, other than silence, or shouting out. It's describing and it's also including info about the new Jewish moderates' public moves. (They say that rightwing hawks have controlled the "message" via AIPAC and have labeled peace workers as self hating Jews. They say that in fact most US Jews by far are leery of Israel's occupation and warlike actions. So that now there is cover and encouragement for more vocal support for negotiations and withdrawal from the west bank and settlements.)
Perhaps you could send a note of concern with info about these groups and how people around the US & especially Friends may wish to be aware of their work and to support them. You could say that you speak about their focus in your presentation. It may be that there's more worry among some folks now just because there's been a bit more discussion openly on many fronts.
Hope this is not too vapid for ya.
Gotta hit the garden. It's a great weather day here.
Will reflect & share.
Love and all,
August 21, 2008
Another thought, Skip, is the one a Jewish person recently pointed out: as irrational as it may be, many Jewish folks see us as speaking up early and often for "justice for Palestinians." They believe, amazingly, that that is code for "we want to destroy Israel."
IF we are to get skittery people and their imbedded allies — well, those who are their friends and take these fears seriously — we need to virtually start our announcements and presentations with something like (I can feel you wincing across the miles) "How can Israel obtain security?" or "How can israelis and Palestinians have equal human rights and security?" or "New approaches to security for Israel and human rights for Palestinians." Maybe you could come up with a translation, a set of words that you could decide to feature in your announcements and presentations. How about "Can Israel be secure if Palestinians have human rights and a just peace?"
Reflexively worried Jewish people are everywhere. If we want at least to reach their friends, we may have to take their worries into account.
How can we achieve change for the Palestinians? Surely there is a role for shouting. But you've got to get your foot in the door.
August 23, 2008
Dear Anne,
Sailing: an act of changing course by turning a vessel's head into and through the wind, so as to bring the wind on the opposite side (quoting a dictionary).
Thanks so much, Anne, for your wise counsel. I know I can rely on you for a seasoned reasoned set of suggestions. You've been thru much of what I'm experiencing now, you have good credentials.
As I understand you, you counsel me to back off, slow down, perhaps follow the style of Anna Baltzer who has been very active with presentations all over the country, facts and information only, let the audience decide. She has a huge following. I admire that. You also suggest emphasizing Israeli and American Jewish peace groups as a way to generate a wider audience among Jews. As you and colleagues do on your splendid website linking Quakers in the United States, quakerpi.org. Surely, as some others responding to my plea for support and counsel write, I should state clearly at the outset of any presentation that I recognize the millennial persecution of the Jews and their concomitant fear of annihilation, both as individuals and as a Jewish state.
However, as you mentioned, I should follow my own light. I appreciate your admonition. Here is a core question for me (for us all): what is my light, what does my light guide me to be and do?
I am a photographer presenting my experience, my truth, my passion. The main grounds for assessment, I feel, should be whether I'm doing my best at expression. Not whether I'm effective, not whether I'm balanced, not whether I'm upsetting some people, but whether I'm making best use of my tools, my craft, my experience as a photographer. (offerings)
I resonate so deeply with the words and lives of Frederick Douglass, and others like him, Lucretia Mott, John Woolman, the obstreperous George Fox himself, St Francis of Assisi going nude and experiencing the stigmata, Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, Dorothy Day and Rachel Corrie. I believe they usually resisted moderating their speech to widen their audience (Or did they? What dilemmas did they experience at times, encouraging them to slow down, temper their expression?) They were honest, direct, daring, courageous. They spoke their truth without equivocation. They drank from the well of respect and love for others.
Watching the video of Jimmy Carter on tour with his book, Palestine: Peace or Apartheid, I was enlivened when he spoke honestly to his critics, first listening to them respectfully and then speaking powerfully. When asked about using the word apartheid he replied, paraphrasing, I used that word to provoke debate, and because it accurately describes the situation in the West Bank. I suspect some of his advisors, maybe his book editor, counseled him to choose another word, one less likely to outrage some of his readers. He held his course, did not tack away from the headwinds, steered directly into the winds of opposition.
One might inquire, what are the guidelines for the Juneau peace group denying sponsorship of my Israel-Palestine presentations? Lousy photos and stories, untrue, inflammatory? Not grounded in the full reality of the region, deliberately hurtful of others? I suspect some could argue that some of this applies to me. His presentation is untrue. He's demonizing Israel and Jews. He's one sided, partisan. He intends to be provocative.
And what might lie beneath the apparent disinterest in my presentations expressed by some Quakers and Quaker meetings and at times their outright refusal to host me? I submit that part of the explanation is the Quaker culture of peace, so called peace, that deliberately avoids conflict.
I've written about this on my blog, if you care to read it.
Yes! I confess. I wish to be provocative, confrontative, afire with indignation, presenting a call for justice. Yes! I am outraged, call others to examine the situation and activate. Yes! I am partisan: for justice, with peace, with security for all. But justice is paramount. Holding all parties accountable to international law. Asking, are war crimes being perpetrated? If so, they must cease and those responsible held to justice.
I respect the fear and suffering of Jews. I agree that they have been viciously persecuted for millennia. And that the persecution remains a real threat. I've been to Auschwitz and wept at what my brothers, perhaps some of my blood family (my heritage is German) perpetrated. I admire the founding of the Israeli state, I question its present form, I support the right of Jews to a homeland—in which all residents, Jew and non Jew, have equal rights. I study and incorporate in my practice many elements of Judaism. I attend Jewish holiday celebrations at my local Quaker meeting whenever possible. Many of my closest friends, personally and in the movement for justice with peace and security in Israel-Palestine, are Jews.
Love grounds me. Or so goes my aspiration. I believe in love, hope to be held to this standard as well as excellence of craft. Am I a loving person, am I expressing love thru my work, am I respectful of all parties, all experiences, all perspectives?
The dilemma of being true to my experience and finding an audience is at the heart of my work; it is at the core of my direction. Yes, as some have stated, this is an opportunity to go deep, go far.
I wish to change course, to tack, facing the headwind, turning the sail to make best use of the wind's power.
Nancy M, a friend and confidant, responding to my plea, wrote the following account of a recent denied tenure case slightly related to mine, hers much more serious but another weather vane showing one of the wind's many directions:
It [censorship or retribution for challenging Israel] is truly shameful – and "it" is spreading far and wide. I just heard from B (who formerly worked with [a Boston Palestinian rights organization] but stopped about 5 years ago when her tenure application loomed at [a Boston area university]): here is what she said – "despite the fact that all 12 outside reviewers and every committee on campus recommended me for tenure and promotion, the provost has suddenly turned me down. He gave no explanation whatsoever. [The university used to do this all the time but the new regime has told us for years that tenure would be a transparent process. In my case, process has been completely ignored. Not only has my work been denigrated but the work that everyone else did who got involved with my case, on and off campus. I now have to appeal to the president and it's completely unclear whether legality and professionalism will reign or corruption and discrimination."
I don't know how one can create enough noise to reverse these bigoted decisions — certainly the Finkelstein case created a huge outcry but they prevailed…it really is disgusting. Do you think there might be some Sabeel folks [where you're having problems]?
August 25, 2008
Just a quick late night reply here, Skip.
Your passion and energy blow me over! Let that light of yours shine!
I'm pasting below a description of some blazing-light folks's demonstration in Detroit last Thursday. The Michigan State Fairgrounds was turned over for one day to Michigan Jews, so they could celebrate the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence!
Our PIAG group decided to be part of the "Fair of Shame" demonstration but in the end we didn't all go. You can see our Sol, the bearded one, in one of the pix, if they transmit. He's the guy who recently signed off on the Jewish Friends chat list. Said he was tired of feeling like a pariah on the list. Farewell.

Article in The Arab American News
Anyway, I didn't get myself together to demonstrate. I was conflicted about hanging out with the synagogue vigilers, who were core organizers. But I'm feeling badly that I didn't have the light in me to go. I guess we each have to try to honor who we are and what we find we have to give. I feel like a tired old woman so often, quite overwhelmed. But then I do what I can, with the website, the map card orders, the divestment survey, sharing info around, encouraging people. (I'm to help present on the divestment topic with Don Wagner at the Sept. Sabeel conference in the Detroit area. Gotta get my act together.)
Anyway, over the last 2 days and now tonight, I've been, as so often, conflicted about whether to be "speaking up" more passionately, as the demonstrators do; as you do, my friend.
I have this theory about "being heard." Having to establish some commonality before one's message can be heard. But I'm not sure that's realistic. Truly our various ways of speaking and doing all surely reach various others in various other ways. Maybe each of our lights kindle something in somebody somewhere, and that's what's asked of us. To be true and reflective, mind and heart.
Your whirlwind of a statement is so fine and true. So are you, Skip, dear one. Give what we can. Relish life.
Have a look at this good report from Detroit kindred gutsy spirits.

Good to hear I can circulate the Finkelstein piece. ["Why Is Norman Finkelstein Not Allowed to Teach?"] Will do.
I remember a very moving moment when Finkelstein spoke before a big crowd on campus here maybe 5 years ago. The scene was the big old wood paneled ballroom in the Student Union. There was a great photographic exhibit, BTW, around the edges. Finkelstein gave a terrific presentation. During question time a young woman approached the microphone in the middle of the crowd, weeping. "I'm Jewish," she said. "I've never heard these things you've told us, never in my life. If this is all true, then how can I go on. How can I hold up my head. I feel so ashamed." Finkelstein answered her so gently and kindly. I can't remember just what he said, but he was dear and reassuring and helped her get calm. And he did reassure her that everything he had said was true.
I take your point about Quakers' polite minutes. Clearly they have a hugely different impact than those great freedom boats demonstrating to the world that 1.5 million human beings are imprisoned in Gaza.
Do you think maybe Quaker minutes make some kind of contribution toward the freedom of the Palestinians? I hope so. Maybe minutes represent uninformed or overwhelmed-feeling people daring to learn and to take a stand. That was a point that Arlene Kelly made — that the P-I situation seems to some people way too confusing and controversial even to look into. There was talk about the courage and gumption it takes for some people to pick up their first book on the topic or to come to their first discussion on the topic. I guess the "framing" that bedevils academics — the crazy anti-Semitism & self-hating Jew — baloney also scares some of us gentle souls from even taking a small step toward engagement. That's a far cry from landing on the beach in Gaza. Is it worth something, even so? Maybe Quakers who've taken that step are then ready to hear your shouts, my friend.
On another sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees watched him to see whether he would cure on the sabbath, so that they might find an accusation against him. Even though he knew what they were thinking, he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come and stand here." He got up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to destroy it?" After looking around at all of them, he said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
— Luke 6.1-13
An inspiring story of courageous action for justice.
De-funding the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions—Why? From Jeff Halper, co founder and coordinator of ICAHD, and recent participant in The Free Gaza Movement:
We have just heard that our request for re-funding [from the European Union] has been rejected, in high probability because of pressure brought to bear by right-wing Israeli neo-cons who have campaigned obsessively against our funding while threatening publicly to close us down.
So we now face a real crisis.
That said, those who want us "gone" make a mistake in assuming that we will close if our funding is withdrawn. Our plan is to keep the office open and retain two staff; I will work on a voluntary basis
We continue to be very grateful for the support we've received from the ICAHD-USA community; your contributions have been an important supplement to the EU funding, allowing us to launch the Constructing Peace Campaign. Now we are turning to you for help; we must work together to preserve ICAHD's position as a leader in the Israeli peace movement.
until the financial picture improves.
I promise you, no matter what, ICAHD will not be silenced.

The protection of intellectual property rights are critical in the creative sector. Ultimately these are the rights that get creative projects funded and allow creative talent to get paid and earn a living. The rapid change in technology and digital media creates a host of new opportunities and challenges for the creative industry in terms of how works are created, produced and commercialised. To better understand the role copyright and registered designs play in this changing creative landscape, the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment is carrying out a study of a creative sector and how it interacts with the copyright and designs regimes. The results of the study will be used to identity potential copyright or design issues relating to the creation, production and commercialisation of creative works and to inform future Government policy (and law). If you are in the creative industry, this study is something you should contribute to.

The science behind #NoMoreBlackTargets, a movement headed for …
Young black men are 3X more likely to be shot by trained shooters than their white peers. #NoMoreBlackTargets, is an art movement in response.
Posted by UPROXX on Thursday, February 16, 2017
If you've ever been to a shooting range, you know the drill: You choose a gun, load it with bullets, put on the necessary visual and hearing protection and then aim at a black silhouette, ready to shoot it dead. Now, one group is working to change that. Calling themselves No More Black Targets, this art collective is fighting to remove the black silhouettes that have been so popularized in tv and movies and replace them with art like this:
Why the change? Well, there's science and statistics to back it up. With black men dying of gun violence — according to NMBT, they're three times as likely to be shot than their white counterparts — NMBT feels that it's both irresponsible and wrong to continue allowing gun enthusiasts and those who are just learning to shoot to constantly fire at black figures.
But hold your fury! NMBT isn't asking that all dark colors be taken away (check the gif above, and yes, they know that a plain white target may create problems with contrast). They just want silhouettes that feel less reminiscent of African-American males.
From NMBT:
An academic study published by University of Illinois researchers drew together findings from 42 different studies on trigger bias to examine whether race affects how likely a target is to be shot.
"What we found is that it does," Mekawi told NPR's Arun Rath, who covered the story.
"In our study we found two main things: First, people were quicker to shoot black targets with a gun, relative to white targets with a gun. And … people were more trigger-happy when shooting black targets compared to shooting white targets."

Of the variety of lenses I own for my camera, I would have to say that the wide angle (or fish-eye) lens is perhaps the most fun and the most challenging to use. There are a number of interesting effects that can be achieved with a wide angle lens. Cramped spaces can suddenly be captured in a single frame, extreme close-ups can focus on a single object while also showing the world around it, linear compositions can become twisted and distorted.
While all of these aspects are interesting to the photographs I produce, I find that it's actually quite challenging to set up the right shot. With every other lens I own, it's easy to mentally frame the shot I want just with how I see the scene with my eyes. With a wide angle lens, that's not the case. Because the wide angle lens distorts everything that isn't in the center of the frame, it can be difficult to know if a shot would work with a wide angle lens until I get behind the camera. Similarly, the center of the wide angle lens' field of view can often appear very far away, which may or may not provide the intended effect. Of course, with such a wide field of view, there is an additional challenge of not appearing in my own shot, which I have had happen on a number of occasions.
Despite its challenges, there are a few techniques I've used to determine if a picture might be better with a wide angle lens as compared to something a bit more traditional. First, if I want to show the entirety of a space, I'll use a wide angle lens (this is perfect for night sky photography). Second, if there is a subject I either want to appear very close or very far away, I'll use a wide angle lens. Third, if there are linear patterns or lines that might be interesting in a curved form, I'll use a wide angle lens. More or less, if you're willing to experiment with a wide angle lens, you might surprise yourself with what you can create!
Have fun!
– Benjamin M. Weilert
PS – The wide angle lens I use is a Rokinon 8mm prime lens on a Nikon D7000.

What does ISO 9001:2015 mean for government information and cyber security professionals?
Formula for data quality
By John DiMaria CSSBB, HISP, MHISP, AMBCI, CERP
Guest Columnist
Today's risk landscape
Government security risks can be diverse with the new era of threats, including cybercrime and information security, increasingly posing some of the most significant risks in this new modern reality. However, the more traditional issues of ensuring customer satisfaction and producing quality products and services haven't gone away. In fact, the more effectively an organization responds to the rising threats of today, the more likely they are to keep stakeholders satisfied by protecting quality services or products as well as a brand's reputation.
According to the ASQ Global State of Quality 2 Research (www.globalstateofquality.org) study of nearly 1,700 companies in 20 countries, quality process-oriented companies are three times as likely to be identified as successful and half as likely to have customer service/quality disasters.
So it is no surprise then that the world's most popular quality management standard, ISO 9001, has recently been updated as ISO 9001:2015 and this will be especially beneficial to government entities looking to increase their security.
Today, as management system standards are updated, they are done so against Annex SL, also known as the high level structure, or HLS. This is a framework for a generic management system and the blueprint for all new and revised management system standards going forward. ISO/IEC 27001 was one of the first to lead the way in 2012, and now the world's most widely adopted standard has followed suit. This is great news for government, particularly on the topic of risk and integration.
Risk-based thinking is a key element brought in by the HLS, so organizations can be better equipped to reduce risk while being well-placed to spot opportunities. This won't be new to professionals already working with standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 or ISO 22301 however it is quite a shift change for ISO 9001:2015. While the concept of risk has always been implicit, the new standard ensures it is built into the whole management system and more importantly encourages a proactive action that is part of the organization's strategic planning.
So what is ISO 9001:2015?
ISO 9001 is a global standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system, or QMS. Certification to new ISO 9001:2015 further helps government organizations to continually monitor and manage quality across their entire organization with this new focus on risk-based thinking.
By adopting ISO 9001:2015 to embed quality management into government, organizations are required to establish a systematic approach to risk, rather than treating it as a single component of a quality management system. The good news is, if you are already working with systems aligned to the HLS you are in a great position to gain efficiencies.
Why? Before HLS, organizations could have multiple, disparate systems in place that involved duplicate time, effort, and resources to continually run these systems. With Annex SL organizations can benefit from aligning separate systems and conduct one business risk assessment that enables concerns on different topics to be managed, or taken advantage of, for maximum business gain.
Not only does the new ISO 9001:2015 help embed risk management into the heart of your organization but the common elements can help you align a QMS with other management systems you have in place. Or even if this is the start, it's a great best-practice framework to manage your security efforts more effectively and efficiently, and helps you to be best-placed to add in more specific systems in the future.
Adding value with quality management
Data is a critical enterprise asset. By weaving ISO 9001:2015 into your ISO/IEC 27001 system it facilitates enhanced data quality and integrity, which can prove very important in the event you launch, or are a target of, an investigation.
- Accuracy – Valid data are considered accurate: They measure what they are intended to measure
- Reliable – The data are measured and collected consistently; definitions and methodologies are the same over time
- Completeness – Completely inclusive: the Document Management System (DMS) represents the complete data and not a fraction of the information
- Precision – The data have sufficient detail; in this case the "accuracy" of the data refers to the fineness of measurement units
- Timeliness – Data are up-to-date (current), and information is available on time; the DMS produces reports under deadline
- Presentable – The data must be neat and tidy and fit-for-purpose (ready as evidence in court or as record of regulatory compliance)
- Integrity – The data are protected from deliberate bias or manipulation for political or personal reasons
Integrating ISO 9001:2015 with your Information Security Management System ensures you not only receive top management commitment on data integrity and security, but it aligns with the strategic direction of the organization and their overall approach to business risk. This removes a silo mentality, makes it easier to engage stakeholders at all levels of the organization, and allows focus on a common purpose, which can bring only positive results.
Whether or not you're in a position to integrate multiple systems, HLS provides a great structure to bring different people together and collaborate to strengthen an organization's resilience and achieve greater results. ISO 9001 hasn't been adopted by over 1.1 million businesses around the world by accident. It remains the world most popular standard for a reason and the new ISO:9001:2015 update makes it much more attractive to business. So whatever role individuals play, there is potential to embrace this approach to quality management as a core to business improvement. It can only enhance your existing practices and complement your approach to managing cybersecurity and information risks.
Organizations certified with the previous version of ISO 9001 have until September 2018 to transition to the revised ISO 9001:2015 version. For more information on ISO 9001:2015, visit ASQ Quality Management Standards.

Our perspective on influencing shopper behaviour
We are pleased to present our first research paper – Influencing Shopper Behaviour – an evolution from our previous 'Thoughts on' features. We have gone beyond behavioural observations, bringing the shopper front of stage, listening to and understanding their needs before deciphering what this means for retailers today.
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of shopper behaviour and purchasing psychology, serving as the foundation when challenging design innovation and the true meaning of shopper satisfaction in UK retail today.

Foam on the top!
Everything was finally in place. The stanchion over-built as per specs. The girls comfy and familiar to life here. I'd developed the knack for that peculiar finger wave curl involved in milking without damaging teets or creating mastitis. The tools were assembled. It was time to wean. I actually forgot to the night before, but then I remembered last night. Sukey locked in to one stall, with tons of hay. And Hendrika went in to the other, with tons of hay. And neither did they moo or wine or fuss. No big deal. I think Hendrika was probably ready for this moment... if I know anything about it, being a woman who nursed for 6 years straight herself. Regardless of readiness, I anthropomorphized some sweet sadness on to them, knowing this was the beginning of the end of their tight, nuzzling relationship. I felt a little bad too, for my role in that. But I consoled myself with the fact that Hendrika will likely have 8 more babies, give or take a few. She'll get over it.
The loudest bellowing on earth awoke us at 5:30 AM. It echoed across the prairie and I couldn't pinpoint where it was originating. Was that ours? Or the Angus herd across the street? I bumbled into my polk-a-dot barn boots, and stumbled out with buckets to see if it was Hendrika and if I should milk. Huck and Blue bounded behind me. Everyone (except the snoozing Coyote) was very eager to see the results of the night.
We've been getting a teaspoon every morning. It hasn't been rewarding, emotionally or lactically. But I was practicing, and getting all used to the routine. Cows, they tell me, are ALL about routine. I'm not, really. But since kids are ALL about routine too, I figured I could handle it. I was a little worried about her milk production. We'd seen Sukey nursing periodically but had no idea how much she was getting, so we didn't know what to expect this morning.
The bag, as they call it, looked as if it might pop like a balloon. I didn't know if I COULD get anything out of that rock. But 10 minutes later, I had a good half gallon with foam. FOAM! On the TOP! And that's when my jelly arms gave out. And Hendrika decided to lay down! I grabbed the bucket, but once she felt it on her side, she stood back up again. And there you have it! The bag was still stone hard, but it wasn't hot, which would indicate mastitis.
I've been to the ER for mastitis before, which included tracking down my arms! The elderly woman upstairs had come down to check on me, and I was bizarrely out of it and she asked what was wrong and I showed her and she threw me and Blue into her car and sped us to the ER. Thank goddess for elderly, experienced, and caring landladies!
Anyway, my over-abundance of breastfeeding experience certainly comes in handy here. Who knew breastfeeding was preparatory work experience!?
So... there you have it. I let Sukey have the rest, assured she'd empty her out. I'll work up my milking stamina before I wean her entirely. My hands stung from my labors, and I even developed a blister!
I hastened to the house to strain the milk into my spigotted sun tea jar. This way, the cream will separate in the fridge and the milk will get siphoned off the bottom. Listen to those words: cream, milk. YES! And butter and yogurt and cottage cheese and mozzarella and marscapone and ICECREAM! Oh lordy, it's the land of milk and honey!
It's the land of damn good milk! Hot diggity!

I keep trying to post comments but can't get it to work. Trying once again this morning.ReplyDelete
It looks like I figured it out. I love the blog. I follow it daily.ReplyDelete
My uncle used to own a dairy and every summer I worked on the dairy with my cousins. I always loved that.
We used to have fresh milk every morning, along with cream and butter as well.
Congrats . . . however, you are still lactose intolerant, right?ReplyDelete
ummm... yeah?ReplyDelete
But I read that may be due to pasteurization and that baby cows can't even digest pasteurized milk, and that milk naturally comes with the enzymes to digest it.
So far... I'm having it in my tea and my kids are guzzling it. And the yogurt maker just arrived on my doorstep (I tried making yogurt without one and guess what: disaster!). So... I've got plans that don't involve me drinking gallons of the stuff. Hopefully it will work out...

Ronit Vohra is ecstatic after debut single crosses 1.25L views
Singer Ronit Vohra is on cloud nine after the response of his debut Punjabi single Jane Na Tu. The singer says that people are loving the number. "The feedback is really nice. People are loving the song. They feel it's soulful, beautiful, heart touching and soothing to the ears. It has reached 1.25L views in less than a week," he says.
Talking about the process of penning the song, he says, "I wrote this song back in college. I always wanted to compose a Punjabi love song and I think that particular thought really helped me in writing it. Also, this is the first Punjabi song that I have done. My aunt (Bua) Geetu Puri who is a trained classical singer and helped me with the song a lot."
He adds, "I have done the composition myself. The music arrangement has been done by Himonshu Parikh."
The single has been shot in the outskirts of Russia, in Kyrgyzstan. Devirosh films, Zee Music Company, Pratap Harish(directors) and Halina(model) have collaborated for the number.
Shooting the number was quite challenging, says Ronit. "During our video shoot, Kyrgyzstan was freezing cold. The temperature was -2 degrees and I had to wear sleeveless t-shirts in the video. It was challenging yet an amazing experience for me," he adds.
Talking about his future plans, Ronit says, "I have started working on my next music single. I am planning to release a lot of music singles this year. I have also planned to get into playback this year."

Flying Again: Keeping a Checkmate Starliner in the Family
For Sam Nesius, the idea of selling his 1989 Checkmate Starliner changed when he was getting it ready to show to a potential buyer. Everything was set for the sale, but Sam fell in love with the boat all over again. Sam has had many Checkmates and really loved the size and family aspect of the Starliner, which is the same hull as the Starflite in bowrider form. I am biased, my family had a Starflite growing up and they are very cool boats, with incredible styling. This was Sam's 5th Checkmate and the only downside with the Starliner was some of the cosmetic things that are natural given the age and the original Yamaha 225 was a bit of a gas guzzler. After consideration with his wife, it seemed like a simple refresh, polishing, update the interior, make some hardware upgrades and a modern engine would bring it back.
Sam spoke with Checkmate in Bucyrus Ohio, which does offer restoration services, and arranged to bring the boat in. Once the boat was in Ohio and upon further inspection, it was determined it would take more work then everyone thought to get it back to 100%. In the end, the boat was given a complete overhaul, it is basically better than new now with modern hardware and new gelcoat. The boat was stripped down and totally redone. Sam decided to keep the color scheme similar in design to the original but to sharpen up the colors. After the refinishing and blueprinting to the hull, the gelcoat was applied. The blue and white look incredibly sharp. A few modern touches include the custom interior that takes some features from the newer Checkmate Pulsares, custom side panels, integrated speakers and Sam opted to go with Pirelli flooring in place of a carpeted floor for durability. With new wiring, 2 battery system with charging banks, great stereo and a new Atlas jack plate, you need an engine that can back it up.
With a new custom interior, a new Pirelli floor was used, along with custom side panels, new wiring, wheel and stereo.
With that in mind, the Evinrude G2 250 HO was the perfect match. Sam, in his own words claims "the G2 is a beast." Plus, the G2 colored panels really make it look custom to the boat. And since Sam is a former Navy helicopter pilot, you know he will make use of all that power, yet enjoy the efficiency of the new engine.
Checkmate's are known for their distinctive looks, performance and family oriented models. Bill Combs started the company when he was racing boats in 1963 and continued to build boats with his family for over 40 years. In 2013, Global Marine Power Inc. purchased the company and continues to operate out of Bucyrus Ohio.
How does the Starliner go? Just over 70 MPH with a 26.5" Bravo XS prop. Sam runs his boat in the Cormorant Lakes area of Minnesota and lives nearby in North Dakota. Family is a big part of the equation and the Starliner is perfect for that. I can see why Sam restored this classic, it is really hard to find a new boat that looks this good and can perform, yet take the whole family out. This is a beautiful family sport boat. Thanks Sam.
Getting ready for the overhaul, the bare boat was outfitted with everything new, from the steering wheel to the wiring.
Getting prepped for new gelcoat. The hull was taken down and blueprinted.

T-shirt dress – modcloth
Sweater – Winners (old – elbows are getting pretty worn…)
Belt – thrifted
Tights – Roots
Boots – vintage via Etsy
Sunglasses – thrifted via my aunt (powder room)
Necklace – thrifted
Last Saturday I went to a friend's housewarming party. She just bought her first condo and this is her first time living on her own. It was a small get together but we had lots of fun drinking and joking around.
I ended up just dressing casual because I knew we'd be sitting, drinking and eating all night. And for the drive over there, I threw on these glasses because of course they matched my dress. You guys didn't know that was a cardinal rule? come onnnnn.
I made these little greek apetizers I had done for my birthday in May. They are so easy to make and so gooooood. It's a good contrast when you're eating fatty dips and chips all night, makes me feel less guilty because I'm getting my fruits and veggies. That and it's vegetarian.
They are so easy (just make sure u buy the pre-pitted olives…) All you need is:
- tooth picks
- cherry tomatoes (halved)
- cucumber (cut in small pieces)
- black olives (halved)
- feta cheese (cut in cubes)
- olive oil
- salt and pepper
Pop them all on a tooth pick with cucumber at the bottom to make it stand. drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper.
(it's best not to let them sit too long as the cucumbers will get watery)
Mmmmm Jello shots
