Dear Coffee, I Censor You : The Lost Noma Coffee Service Tapes
Posted by TheShot on 06 Apr 2013 | Tagged as: Café Society, CoffeeRatings.com, Consumer Trends, Restaurant Coffee
The Internet is hardly known as a medium for civil discussion and debate. There are exceptions, of course, but today only the Internet historians will remember when flame wars and childish insults may have briefly raised eyebrows before they became too commonplace to notice anymore. What still raises eyebrows is when there actually is civil discourse online — and especially when it is abruptly shut down and censored.Last week we exhumed the old why-is-restaurant-coffee-so-bad yarn, invoking recent social media gossip about high-end restaurants that either raised the Nespresso white flag or developed serious coffee program, such as Copenhagen's infamous Noma — the running #1 ranked restaurant in the world. Then earlier this week, a famous coffee blog we enjoy — Dear Coffee, I Love You — posted a review of their recent meal and coffee service at Noma: Coffee at Noma, The World's Best Restaurant « Dear Coffee, I Love You. | A Coffee Blog for Caffeinated Inspiration..
My reaction to the post split in two opposite directions. First, on the positive side, I always appreciate a good story of where someone is proving that you can make decent coffee at a restaurant. But on the negative side, I couldn't get over the fact that here was the #1 ranked restaurant in the world that was essentially reinventing flavors and food, and yet the most thoughtful coffee service they could come up with is serving manual pour-over coffee from a Hario V60. Something you could quite readily do at home yourself, no imagination nor creativity required.So I commented on the post, using one of my throwaway Facebook accounts that so many lame Web sites require to comment these days. (As socially loaded as it is these days to say, "I don't own a TV", I prefer the more modern variant, "I don't have a legitimate Facebook account.") In my comments, I noted how Noma's rather pedestrian pour-over service was a bit of a let down — given everything else for which the place is known.
Sir Brian W. Jones (posting on Facebook as DCILY) and a certain Devon Nullz (a Facebook-allowed variant of /dev/null) held a brief, but civil, exchange in Facebook comments. But just before I was able to respond to Mr. Jones' last reply, something very odd happened: all the Facebook-hosted comments on the post disappeared. Not just my and/or his comments, all the Facebook comments on the post.
Yes, the nuclear option.
Fortunately, through the magic of Google caching, I've exhumed the discussion here because it is blog-topic-worthy. Bonus for the chance to perhaps continue to discussion … since Dear Coffee, I Love You pretty much abruptly announced last call at 9pm and threw everyone out of the bar.
The Noma Coffee Service Discussion That's Too Hot For DCILY
This article kind of made me sad. As if high cuisine has fallen for the pour-over coffee fad rather than trying to chart its own course.
Wednesday at 7:24pm
The Melitta pour over cone is 105 years old. The Chemex is 72 years old. How exactly is pour over a fad?
Yesterday at 2:42pm
Consumption and popular culture create fads, not the inventions themselves. The caffè sospeso has been around for generations in Southern Italy, but it's a complete fad right now. GPS has been around since the 1970s, but today we have TV shows and blogs branding themselves with "GPS" in the name as if it were futuristic alien technology that just fell from the skies last year.
Now we know we're talking about how low the bar is set for coffee among all great restaurants. But this is a restaurant that's making bite-explosions of flavor with fried reindeer moss, fermented crickets, etc. Normal conceptions of food have been turned inside-out, cryogenically transformed, and re-presented as something totally new.
So when the coffee service comes, what do they offer to live up to those heights? What amazing boundaries of the culinary world do they bend to the point of breaking? We get a V60 pour-over that every wannabe third wave coffee shop has been pumping on every street corner in every coffee-aware city in the world for the past several years. Something you can essentially make yourself at home with a scale and a blog post.
Pour-over coffee in a V60 is the culinary equivalent of East-meets-West fusion cuisine from a food truck. If coffee service has to live up to the new frontiers promised by a $260/head dinner, food truck cuisine isn't how to do that.
Yesterday at 5:23pm
You're right, for $420 a head, I should get a space age über-technologically advanced Nespresso capsule instead. They also pour wine from bottles—how boring of them.
7 hours ago
And then it ended. Poof.
Of course, the Internet is all about the conversation that refuses to die…
To Mr. Jones' credit, perhaps he quickly realized he was dealing with a complete nut job (on the Internet? Really?!) and thus he didn't want to continue to the discussion any further. I can't say that I blame him. But in doing so, a legitimate point has been completely whitewashed and dismissed: we readily give restaurants a pass for their coffee when it doesn't live up to the standards set by their food. The #1 restaurant in the world serving pour-over V60 coffee might not be as bad as Nespresso, but it is still a culinary cop-out.
And when it comes to pouring wine from bottles, Sir Brian, might I remind you that coffee service isn't merely the act of pulling a cork. Brewing coffee quite literally is cooking.
And there's a deliberate reason why Noma's wine list is curated for rare and special occasion wines — and not just what can be found on the shelves of any Bilka hypermarket in Denmark. Compared to a V60 pour-over, ironically a Clover brewer suddenly seems exotic again by today's standards. Is it too much to ask to at least syphon brew for something just a little out of the ordinary?
Now we're not saying that Korean tacos aren't quite tasty, because they are. But they're really not that special. (Well, at least here in California.)
Noma Restaurant's Coffee Service: An Update
Given the more recent comment update history on this post, and this piece today from Sprudge, this topic is worthy of an update. Noma is currently experimenting with espresso service — which they've held off doing to date for all the right reasons. Furthermore, their coffee service has had a little time to mature "in the wild." But one of the good things the aforementioned article surfaces is this talk from last year's Nordic Barista Cup, recorded about five months after we published this original post.
The title of the presentation, "Milk and Sugar, Please!," refers to a lesson René and his team have learned about serving highly specialized coffee to restaurant patrons with the highest expectations. They first tried the coffee Nazi route: serving it without cream or sugar and suggesting that it is best without them. Patrons revolted — perhaps out of habit, but perhaps also out of a sense of control in this I-apply-filters-to-someone-else's-photos-on-Instagram-therefore-I'm-an-artist world we now live in. René discovered that by standing down and placing the cream and sugar at the table for just comfort alone, customers happily consumed their coffee without additives and without resistance.
The presentation opens with René saying that Noma's head sommelier, Mads Kleppe, is the guy to give the presentation as his dedicated man to coffee — much as Noma has staff dedicated to things like berries, foraging, and moss. (This affirms what we suggested in another post.) And yet René went on for the next 47 minutes unequivocally monopolizing the microphone, spouting out the word "fuck" about every 30 seconds along the way.
The claim is that the coffee is as good as at Tim Wendelboe's — and arguably the best restaurant coffee you can get in the world. Or at least that's the aim. To back that claim up, René notes that preparation took eight months, 40 staff, precise bean choices, custom equipment and installation, and a repeated claim to spending tens of thousands of dollars.
Not having actually had the coffee, we can't comment on its quality. But there's no reason to think it isn't great. What we still don't understand is why some of the best coffee bars in the world do not require eight months, 40 staff, and five flights in from Tim Wendelboe to establish a stellar pour-over brewing service. It makes us wonder: just where is all that time, money, and labor going?
Despite perhaps the supposed uniqueness of new Nordic brewing to light-bodied, lightly roasted pedigree coffees for some less-traveled patrons, it's still just a V60 pour-over bar. At that, the coffee is not exactly served to personal order: it is brewed in one-liter batches in kettles from a back room public lounge, served in custom-designed 500ml glass containers. For all the creativity and uniqueness that patrons come to expect from Chef Redzepi's stellar food, the most inventive part of their coffee service should not be the serviceware.

The wine that goes into the bottle is more important than the bottle, same goes for the coffee you put in the brewer. When you get the coffee at NOMA, the focus isn't on what it is brewed with – it's about the coffee. If the coffee is tasty – which it almost certainly is, why the hell do care what it was brewed in? Why not ask the chef what the Sous Vide was set to when cooking the scallop dish – he'll look at you like a total plonker.
If V60 is a cop out and shouldn't be used at Noma then one might add that stovetops, ovens, frying pans, saucepans shouldn't be used to prepare food too since they are found in more homes than V60 brewers.
It isn't about the tools used, it is about the quality of the end product. Tools, techniques and raw ingredients all play an important role in the creation of this end product.
Personally Im excited by the new coffee service at Noma. I probably wont ever dine there but if the example set by Noma is followed then a demand for seriously high quality coffees driven by a consumer that is willing to pay for it will ensue.
I guess you just made the point how nice the v60 is. The top restaurant in the world is using it. How was the coffee? I am going to have a Hario pour over now. Makes a perfect cup. Unless I break out the French press or chemex. Maybe you could have orders an espresso or latte and has something interesting to say.

As much as I'm sure you'd like to think you're words were so controversial they forced me to "nuke" all of the Facebook comments on my entire site, I can assure you that they weren't. Next time you think you're being "censored" feel free to shoot me an email or tweet to see what happened before wasting time on such a fabricated and dramatic post.
The Facebook comments have been slowing down my site for months and timing, not censorship, led me to finally fix the issue by removing the buggy script. I didn't realize I needed to clear all of my website maintenance with my readers.
As for Noma not using pots and pans, I toured the kitchen after my meal and guess what—they're using pots and pans. What makes Noma so incredible is their simple approach to food based on unique ingredients. Noma isn't reinventing the method of cooking—they are simply finding incredible flavors, combining them and presenting them well. As for the super thin herb toast you quoted in the description above, it's grilled on a backyard grill, outside the back door of Noma—there's no technical wizardry involved.
I'd be more than happy to discuss this more once you've actually experienced it yourself. Until then, you're the one missing the point.
I'm with Devin Null on this one – with regards to a restaurant like the one being discussed. V60, manual pourover is fine and dandy for any upscale restaurant that wants to do fine hand crafted coffee, but for "the world's best", considering all the crazy out of the box gastronomic things they do in the kitchen, it's as if the French Laundry was doing a Bonavita Auto Drip… in other words, they can and should be doing better.
For me personally, the best non espresso method of brewing coffee is siphon coffee. It's got a lot going for it:
– theatre
– optimal brewing temperatures
– fast brewing times
– fantastic extractions if you are on top of things
– pretty much guarantee that 80-90% of your clientele have never seen this before.
Siphon coffee would seem to be a much better match, and frankly, a better tasting brewing method (IMO of course) for a place like Noma. But there would need to be very practiced barista hands on duty to make sure it comes off as art, science, and most importantly, taste in the cup.
Hey mate – we don't often agree, but at the very least I respect you and what you write. There's one thing that really sticks out in my mind here: a general lack of respect for discussion and debate displayed.
Even if Brian did remove the comments through just random, coincidental maintenance, it's still a very bad thing as far as I'm concerned. It's bad because of the lack of respect for the substance of debate, at least bad enough because a) he doesn't seem to care if his maintenance efforts wipe out discussion, and b) how smug he is about it on Twitter – saying in future, he'll make sure he checks with you and others before doing such a thing.
Speaking for myself and a community I've run for nearly 12 years now on coffee, one thing from day one on CoffeeGeek that was mantra and gospel – people's comments, discussion, debate, discourse, and arguments (all the same thing in many cases) are sacrosanct. We have very clear website rules, clearly stated on every page, and as long as those rules are followed, NO ONE'S comments are edited, deleted, or otherwise censored. This rule of discussion is so important, I can tell you it's cost me a lot of money – back in 2006 when we had a server meltdown, I paid for forensic data recovery on a hard drive on our remote server for only one reason: to recover everyone's comments in our forums and reviews and articles. We managed to recover a large chunk (around 95% IIRC) and then on top of that, because it was fragmented, I had to pay more for programming to piece it all back together and put things back in order.
But people's discussions, their words of debate, constructive and even not so constructive, amongst our community were that important to me, and to my community.
So when I see someone appear to just willy nilly delete comments they don't like, it's something I view as being very bad. But Brian says he didn't do that.
So now, when I see someone have such a lacksy daisy attitude towards a constructive, civil debate that they don't seem to be bothered if their actions in maintenance have the secondary reaction of removing commentary, I still find that a distasteful. It makes me think that Brian has no respect for any opinions that don't 100% gel with his own.
On CG, there's a rule about no personal attacks, no insults, no racial, sexual or gender commentary. But there's one fairly well known exception to that rule – the moderators have a standing order that if anyone on CG decides to personally attack me or flame me or just go on the warpath towards me personally, those comments are not censored or removed. Because CG is my "playground" I wanted from the get go for people to feel that just because I own the website, don't be afraid to challenge anything I write or do on the website – make me accountable. Make me back up my words. Make me responsible for what I say. So as a result today, there's literally dozens (hundreds even) of posts in our forums of people blasting the fek out of me. They'll stay for as long as I can afford to keep the servers running.
When anyone else who has a venue for public discourse online acts the same way, I have massive respect for them and what they do online. When they don't, my respect level goes down quite a bit. That's how I'm wired.
LOL! I have some absolute doozies of mine that are online to this day, even pre coffee. I try to have my own personal mantra that I won't type or write anything online I'm not willing to say in person. This also extends to "if I decided it was good enough to put online, it's gotta stay up". Case in point – my personal website, http://www.spiffle.com. has lots of incredibly stupid stuff I wrote online in the 1990s that I still leave online to this day – as much as a warning to myself to mean what I say and say what I mean – as anything else. 😉
Once again, some comments scream the kind of coffee people who drive me mad. Ever obsessed with brew method and miles away from the coffee. Commenting on a restaurant they've never been to also cries ignorance.
The taco truck analogy is unbearably flawed – there's a whole lot of things Noma are doing that can't be done in a food truck, and a whole lot of things that could be done in a food truck – or at home for that matter. A beautiful room, wonderful service, stunning handmade glassware & dishes, lovely Danish furniture, unique & exclusive wines and coffee, and an amazingly creative approach to food is all unique to Noma. Where does that leave you? Holding an empty sack of an argument. So, yes I'd suggest you stay in SF.
Mark, to respond to some of your thoughts. They're not brewing by the table, so the bullshit bells & whistles of the syphon is lost. And "fantastic extractions if you are on top of things" applies to almost all brewing methods, so it's not making the syphon sound like a better option. You said it yourself Mark, "most importantly taste in the cup" – this is derived first and foremost from the coffee, not the brew method.
When the coffee is served, and it tastes delicious, why do you care what it was brewed in?
it's not given anymore time for presentation than any of the wines served. They'll talk about where the coffee is from and touch on how it was brewed. So, are you going to give 2 shits on how it was brewed and be less concerned about the coffee they used? Just imagine for a second if you applied this daft approach to all the dishes and wines served there. "Excuse me, did you really only use a BBQ out the back to char these spring onions?" How "mentally lazy" of them.
Why aren't you having a go at them for not using seasonal coffee – oh wait they are. Why not have a go at them for using an average roaster – oh wait they're using Tim Wendelboe. Why not have a go at them for not training their staff – oh wait, they've spent months thinking about & working on the execution. Why not have a go at them for making a book of which many of the recipes of dishes are there to be made at home – oh wait they have. Heaven forbid if the "pedestrian V60" perhaps made it into a future edition.
Restaurant coffee has historically been ordinary – something the plonkers in the specialty coffee trade have sat back and complained about, but done practically bugger all to remedy. The World's best restaurant has made a genuine, thoughtful approach to coffee service and the same plonkers are now complaining about the brew method of all things. Fuck me.
Beyond all else, is it a good idea to comment on something you've not tasted, a restaurant you've not been too, nor worked with? Clearly, the answer is no.
I don't think I'd ever call siphon's brewing method and how it looks "bullshit". But that's neither here nor there, except for one thing.
Siphon is a show. And as a show, it should entice. Siphon and its brewing method can and should entice as much as artfully plating the various courses is – people wow when they see their protein arrive on an intricate nest fabricated through some arcane chef magic, as an example – and why not set the initial wow factor as best as a solid plating and molecular culinary techniques do to entice you to the plate.
But besides that, V60 is boring, and personally, not the method of brew I'd want if I was visiting "the world's best restaurant". And, I assume they're using paper for filtration. As I progress along with coffee, I'm finding paper a big detriment to the taste of coffee, especially with very heavy blockage of non soluable oils that paper stops (that metal filters and cloth let pass through).
We're not talking about just a Michelin star restaurant here. If we were, I've be very please to hear they're using V60s, brewing seasonal, fresh offerings, grinding to order, and sourcing a decent roaster. Far too many Michelin places are horrible on coffee service.
But you're talking about a place that has taken the crown, according to many, as the world's best. If they have that claim, what's the problem in challenging them to up their coffee game even more? Learning, like the folks at Modernist Cuisine did, about more intricacies in the coffee, how it's brewed, and why things happen during the brew?
Also, I don't see why calling a V60 service "boring" is somehow equated to being critical of the coffee's taste, either. I'm sure the coffee tastes fine. I'm also extremely confident that the coffee I brew in my home on almost any given day tastes better (depending on the beans of course). And I'm sure the coffee brewed in the home of a lot of coffee folks (or as you like to call them, plonkers) tastes better too. Because we're spending more time concentrating on the brew method and everything that goes into it.
All this doesn't mean Noma's coffee service is bad. It just means as good as it is, perhaps it could be even better… for the "world's best restaurant".
PS, speak for yourself on the whole plonker comment. I've worked with several restauranteurs in Vancouver over the years to educate them about better coffee. As recently as three weeks ago, in fact.
I should add, so you don't think I'm full of it, one restaurant in particular I'm pretty proud of in Vancouver for coffee – Pourhouse restaurant. Even before they opened up, I worked closely with their lead bartender and one of the owners on tasting and evaluating coffee; had them over to my lab for several cuppings, worked with them on espresso prep (they wanted all espresso); helped them with their grinder choice, advised on coffee etc. They opened with what I have to say (very biased, of course) the best coffee service in a Vancouver restaurant; the staff paid serious attention to every single drink build. They even have my grinder next to their Synesso machine.
Since then, they've kept the mantra of great coffee service in the place. It's seen some ups and downs (I'm no longer involved, but still do coffee related things from time to time with the owner), but what was especially great about this was their serious game on espresso had a trickle influence on a few other restaurateurs who loved what Pourhouse was doing and continues to do, and I had a few calls from competing places because of it, for my fairly informal consultations since.
I still think they're one of the best restaurants in town to get a great espresso-based, traditional sized beverage from. And their cocktails and kitchen offerings ain't too bad either 😉 (they're considered to be one of the best, if not the best bartending restaurants in town).
something something coffee something v60 something something syphon something… who gives a shit. eat drink and be merry. oh, and.. coffee.
I don't get it – it should all be about how the coffee tastes.
"V60-brewed coffee may not be on every street corner, but it's ubiquitous in the world in countless quality coffee shops and home kitchens. There's very little special about it."
You guys mention that you want more theater when you have coffee in the world's best restaurant. The way they have started to make coffee at NOMA is stimulating for the eye and indeed practical for the staff (making it possible to make one litre at the time). Not to mention that it tastes good and exactly the way they want their coffee to be.
Isn't this theater enough for you, if that's what you want?
To suggest that using a vac-pot would be better almost solely because it looks neat and most cafes/restaurants/etc don't offer it as a brewing option is completely ridiculous. I don't choose the coffee I order at a cafe based on the obscurity of the brewing method used, I choose it based on the coffee itself. The best cup of coffee I've ever had was not the best because it was made on a v60, it was the best because it was the la Esmeralda Panama from Coffee Collective and the barista who prepared it for me cared about the product they were serving. The fact that Noma has gone so far as to develop a coffee program with one of the most respected coffee professionals in the world and trained their entire staff on how to make an excellent cup of coffee is more than can be said for most Michelin starred restaurants and should be applauded. Instead, you scoff and criticize that this restaurant you've never even been to just isn't trying hard enough.
I have a feeling that even if Noma developed an exclusive never-before-seen brewing method, people like you would still search for some way to berate it.
[…] the last few weeks – some trenchant insight, some exhaustively detailed portraiture, and some blithering drivel. What will your time at Noma […]
Brewing method does have an impact on the end result, but why write off a coffee service solely because the chosen brew method happens to be more common than another? In my personal experience, I've found vac pot to be much less consistent than most pour over methods. I can imagine that, when training staff, consistency is going to come into consideration just as much as quality does.
Don't think a vac pot even corresponds with Noma's aesthetic. Syphon is used in Japan for making fast filter coffees for commuters.

Fascinating discussion. Thanks Coffee Ratings!
Applause are to be made for a restaurant caring about the coffee they serve. I'm delighted that it likely tastes good.
What CR is getting at is that we're applauding a restaurant for making good coffee. First, we are embarrassed that we're proud of that. Second, this restaurant in particular is known for doing ways differently. Very differently.
Truth be told, I suspect any brew method known to us currently would be a letdown for Noma. I'm guessing CR doesn't want them to serve brewed coffee. Rather, they should be inventing a new way to conceive the coffee experience.
Perhaps Noma is just now learning to walk with coffee and they're planning on learning how to run with it, soon. I hope so. I'd love to taste coffee that is coffee, yet isn't!
I don't know about all of you, but I'm now energized to find a way to make coffee in a way that leaves us with something other than a brew as we know it! There's never a coffee think tank around when you need one…
Id like to see a CA-foodtruck serving Tim Wendelboe-coffee.

Iraq's Air Force will wait two more years before the first shipment of 36 planned F-16s will arrive in Iraq, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The announcement came the same day Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and Iraqi army chief of staff Lt. Gen. Babaker Zebari in Baghdad. The F-16s are part of a $12 billion purchase agreement that covers a wide swath of equipment and training.
The first batch of F-16s will arrive in September 2014. The F-16s will boost an air force trying to rebuild since it was obliterated by the U.S. Air Force in Gulf Wars I and II. U.S. and Iraqi leaders have said the Iraqi air force can't currently protect it's air space.
Iraqi air force officials have said the F-16s will be used exclusively to protect their borders. Iraq's air space has been left mostly unguarded since the U.S. forces pulled out in 2011 and the U.S. ended the air patrols they had done continuously over Iraq since August 1992.
The Iraqis will receive the F-16C Fighting Falcons -- the block 50/52 variant of the aircraft. Iraqi air force officials also requested a missile package to include AGM-65D/G/H/K maverick air to ground missiles; GBU-12 Paveway II, GBU-10 Paveway II, GBU-24 Paveway III laser guided bomb units; AIM-9L/M-8/9 sidewinder missiles; and 150 AIM-7M-F1/H sparrow missiles.
The planned shipment of F-16s to Iraq comes as the rest of the world's air forces expect to keep flying the fighter jet longer than most every expected. General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin have delivered more than 4,500 F-16s since the plane was introduced to the U.S. fleet in 1974.
Shrinking defense budgets has slowed America and NATO's transition to fifth generation fighters keeping the F-16 as a work horse in the past decade in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Iraq will receive its first shipment of F-16s, the U.S. Air Force will update their own fleet's radar suite and start a service life extension program for 300 older F-16s.

Here's another sketchbook. This one was made last year for my girlfriend as a christmas present. Its Mahogany in a decorative butcher-block style with sapwood as the spine. The idea for the design came from looking at piece of wood I had from a previous projects mistake. The end grain converged very nicely and I knew I could do something decorative with it. This was one of my first attempts at getting the sketchbook design down and I think it worked somewhat well. The name engraving is carved by hand and then gold leafed. Again the binding material was one of the few problems unresolved. The paper can be removed with the use of the screw posts
The finish is Bartley's gel varnish.
Here's another iteration of this same style but oriented differently and with a different binding method.
I have another sketchbook shown on this site so if you are interested feel free to look at my other projects.
I have more options for the sketchbooks on my website as well.
Thank you for looking,

Corsair Carbide 500R ReviewA Closer Look - Outside »
Just like the Carbide 400R and Graphite series of cases, the Carbide 500R ships in a plain brown cardboard box with black print on it. The front shows the chassis, along with its name, while the rear goes into additional details with a blow-up diagram. Both side panels of the package are identical and list the specifications of the chassis along with two more angles.

5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Socially Responsible InvestmentsImpact investing can be personally satisfying and profitable.
Responsible investing involves incorporating environmental, social and governance factors — known as ESG factors — into investment decisions. Socially responsible investors choose to put their money in socially responsible companies with ethical values in line with their own.
For example, you might be concerned that fossil fuels are damaging the Earth's environment. To avoid supporting companies that conflict with your values, you could invest in socially responsible mutual funds or companies engaged in environmental sustainability as a part of your investment strategy.
Is Socially Responsible Investing a Good Option?
Although SRI might not be for everyone, the fact remains that it's a growing opportunity for investors. With a track record of financial success and options to suit almost any type of investor, there are many good reasons to consider sustainable investing as an investment option. Here are five reasons you should make socially responsible investments:
1. Plenty of Options Exist
From 2014 to 2016, socially responsible investments grew by 33 percent, to $8.72 trillion. Booming growth fuels competition, which always creates opportunities for investors. No matter what your personal cause is, you're likely to find an investment that caters to your wishes.
According to the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, there are at least 202 mutual funds and exchange-traded funds in the ESG investing world. Just like more traditional investments, social impact investing includes all types and categories of choices, from high-yield investments to low-duration bond funds, from large-cap domestic stocks to global balanced funds.
Read: Best Short-Term Investment Options
2. It Can Be Profitable
When SRI began, there weren't a lot of options, and the choices you had as an investor weren't always the greatest in terms of performance. The good news is that socially responsible stocks have proven to be good investment opportunities over an extended period of time. The socially responsible Domini 400 index fund, for example, had an average annual return of 10.46 percent from 1990 to 2015, versus the 9.93 percent return of the Standard & Poor's 500 index over the same period.
3. You Can Feel Good About Your Investments
It's great to make money in the stock market. When your profits come from the work of companies that treat their workers poorly or pollute the atmosphere, however, it might give you pause.
Supporting companies that are in line with your personal beliefs can remove any guilt from earning profits and can help in another way: Not worrying about the companies you own makes you more likely to be a long-term investor.

4. You Can Tailor Your Investments
Although SRI is gaining popularity, ESG investments mean different things to different people. Professional investment management companies might offer separately managed accounts that can be run according to your specifications.
For example, your investment goals might not include supporting or investing in companies that produce guns, but casino companies might be acceptable to you. A good option could be a separately managed account that follows your wishes. Buying a generic SRI mutual fund, however, will most likely get you a portfolio that excludes any type of "vice" company, including those involved in gambling.
5. You Can Help the Company
Buying stock in the initial public offering or secondary stock offering of a socially responsible firm directly provides capital to the company, helping it to grow and prosper. Even when you buy stock in the secondary market — on the New York Stock Exchange, for example — you're helping to keep the stock price high. A higher stock price allows the company to fund expansion by selling stock at higher prices.
When you buy bonds from a socially responsible firm, you're directly lending it money. Your loan helps the company fund important projects, such as expanding to new markets, providing community investment or researching groundbreaking goods and services.

For a long time, I thought of Roald Dahl only as the author of stories for children like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and so when my colleague exclaimed one day that she was fond of Dahl, I couldn't quite agree. It was only when Prashant reviewed a story called Lamb to the Slaughter at his blog that I realised that I had been a fool and that Dahl had written such stories which I had admired over the years. So coming upon Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected was a real pleasure. And Dahl does not disappoint. Each of the story has a twist in the end, sometimes comic, sometimes ironic, at times even macabre and disturbing.
The stories, sixteen in all and published between 1954-1961, are as follows:
Taste has a lecherous wine connoisseur.
Lamb to the Slaughter has a wife cooking dinner for her husband.
The Man from the South lays a deadly bet.
My Lady Love, My Dove has the hosts eavesdropping on their guests
Dip in the Pool has a man jumping overboard.
In Galloping Foxley, a man encounters a bully from school.
In Skin, a man gets his back painted by a young man who eventually becomes a famous painter.
Neck is about a man and his adulterous wife.
In Nunc Dimittis, a man tries to revenge himself on a girl who he believes has belittled him.
In The Landlady, a man looking for a room encounters a strange landlady.
William and Mary has a man surviving his death as a one-eyed brain whom his wife takes special care of.
The Way up to Heaven has a woman tired of her sadist husband.
Parson's Pleasure has a man coming across an antique rarity.
Mrs. Bixby is given a mink coat by her lover but does she really get it in Mrs. Bixby and the Colonel's Coat?
A baby starts turning into a bee in Royal Jelly while in Edward the Conqueror, a woman is convinced that the cat that has strayed in her house is the reincarnation of musician, Franz Liszt.
You like a twist in the tale? This is the book for you. Highly recommended.

Sometimes, realizing you have next to you the perfect person takes a while, so to make sure you don't realize he's the one too late, take a peek at the following tips that can help you clear your mind!
Certain sayings that have been passed on from generation to
generation definitely have a strong base behind and one of these
sayings is "you don't realize what you have until you lose it". To
make sure you make the right decision, to stick to your relationship or move on,
it's best to take certain things into consideration. Take a peek at
the following tips that can help you determine he's perfect for you
and before you make a decision, make sure you've given it a deep
You think alike
Sure, opposites attract, but sometimes having things in common with the other, identifying a piece of you in the other person, can surely bring two people together. Your half should be on the same length as you as this is one of the reasons why people are searching for their 'other half'. Now don't be looking for someone that will agree with you in everything, but someone that will enjoy the same things you enjoy most, as connecting with someone at such a level will make you feel comfortable and feeling comfortable around one another is definitely a must.
He pays attention to your needs
They say men don't pay attention to what women need, but that's not really true. Depending on personality, character as well as feelings, a man can pay more attention to your needs than you'd expect. If your guy listens to you and takes into account your feelings and needs, he definitely cares and wants to make sure you're comfortable.
The tiniest details can sometimes make a huge difference, so try to pay more attention to the way he behaves around you.
He communicates
Communication is the key to a successful and long lasting relationship and where's no communication, things can't be good. Talking about your needs and trying to resolve certain 'bumps' which every relationship hits along the way can make your 'journey' through life together much more pleasant, so open up and help him open up to try and work out any problems. This is the only way you'll see if your relationship is heading in the right direction.
He's spontaneous
At the beginning of a relationship, maintaining a connection is easy, but with time routine kicks in and if you don't try to spice things up a bit once in a while, maintaining that connection will start to become tricky. His spontaneity or his love for you will definitely help you avoid entering a routine.
He supports you
Nothing else can feel worse than knowing you don't have the support you need in a relationship, so if he stands by your side and supports you in your decisions, than he's definitely a keeper. That doesn't mean not being able to share his opinion with regards to your decisions, so don't look for someone that will follow you. You should be looking for a partner, not a follower.
He respects you
Respect is definitely one of the keys to a long lasting, beautiful relationship and where's love, there should be respect. They say that with time love fades away, but if you have respect, you can never lose the feeling of love for one another.
He shows he cares
Small details make all the difference when it comes to girls and something as simple as saying 'I Love You' while looking in the eyes or receiving a flower or receiving your breakfast in bed can make all the difference. Women crave attention and they want to feel loved and if he's the guy that isn't shy to treasure you, he's definitely a keeper.

Episode IV: Risk and vulnerability assessment and threat detection
In the last episode, a policy was decreed and signed by the King. Armed with this important document, our administrators set off on the task of assessing the landscape.
In the last episode, a policy was decreed and signed by the King. Armed with this important document, our noble administrators set off on the task of assessing the landscape to prioritize their efforts.
They took inventory and classified the kingdom's assets. They identified gaps in the infrastructure, threats and potential targets of the malfeasants. The policy of the King and the edicts of the highest of high were consulted. Valuations were placed on the assets; the costs of safeguards were estimated.
It was clear: The noble administrators would need weapons, but they would also need to be trained in the art of defense. For, as sophisticated and knowledgeable as they were in their own right, this new realm required they be masters at defending terabytes as sure as the Knights of the Royal Guard were masters in defending terra firma.
It came to pass that they were trained, purchased advanced tools and were invited to the castle on the eve of the attack of the evil enumerators. The noblepersons knelt before the King and by virtue of His Majesty's imperial resound, were conferred Knights of the Order of Countermeasures.
Dame Day (they called her "D-Day") was responsible for all firewall configurations and remote-access technologies including PPP, VPN and OU812. D-Day was dedicated to stopping the dastardly defilers "right here, right now."
D-Day worked closely with Sir Sniffalot, who took the lead on intrusion detection, prevention and audit log analyses. Armed with a steady supply of Sudafed, Sir Sniffalot was always on his toes.
Sir Pokeahole was the chief penetration tester and chair of the incident-response committee. Sir Jack was to institute the user education and awareness program and Dame Domaine administered ACLs, configuration and patch management and hunted rogue wireless access points on the weekends.
Whilst acting on the personal request of the King to improve upon his daughter's memory, Dame Domaine discovered an insidious uninvited alteration of Princess Bloomie's registry. It was apparent that the nefarious ne'er-do-wells negotiated not with the slightest deference to royalty, and that they would stop at nothing.

Last season
Premier League: 2nd
FA Cup: Fifth round
League Cup: Third round
Top scorer: Luis Suarez (31)
Summer's work
Liverpool's patience with Luis Suarez finally wore thin as following the Uruguay international's biting offence - the third time it has happened - during the World Cup, the club agreed to sell their top scorer to Barcelona.
The remainder of the summer has involved signing a replacement. Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana have joined from Southampton, while Lazar Markovic is an exciting recruit from Benfica.
A defence that ultimately cost the Reds a first league title in 24 years has been reinforced by Dejan Lovren, Javier Manquillo and Alberto Moreno, who is finalising his move. Local lad Martin Kelly has meanwhile joined Crystal Palace and Pepe Reina has moved to Bayern Munich.
Manager – Brendan Rodgers
After a free pass during his first campaign and a shock run at the Premier League title last term, Rodgers faces the toughest task of his career in staging a rebuild at Anfield without Suarez.
He got away with some uncertain additions last summer but his transfer success will be fully exposed this season following a summer where many of his signings have divided opinion.
Rodgers faces the added pressure of managing his squad amid the club's return to the Champions League and will be expected to treat competitions on the continent and at home with equal devotion.
Key player – Daniel Sturridge
He formed one half of the most destructive forward partnerships in world football last season but the striker will now spearhead Liverpool's top-four charge single-handedly.
Sturridge scored 24 goals last term even alongside Suarez and amid several hamstring concerns but will be required to increase that tally as the club's chief attacking threat.
With a plethora of creative players behind him, including Brazilian Philippe Coutinho and new signings Lallana and Markovic, Sturridge will have no shortage of chances, meaning his finishing will be acutely scrutinised. He faces a season that could see him defined as a Liverpool great.
Though every effort has been made to mask over the departure of Suarez, suggestions that Liverpool can match last season's title pursuit have been few and far between.
With the added burden of the Champions League - with Rodgers and many other players making their debut in the competition - the Reds should focus on making themselves a regular in the top four. That, in itself, will represent progress.
Prediction – 4th
Should have enough to cling on to a Champions League place. Just.

J.J. Watt's campaign to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts continues to surge from success to success.
After initially raising $500,000 over a 24-hour period on YouCaring.com, the Houston Texans star went on social media to set a new goal of $1 million. After reaching that goal within hours, he then pushed his new goal to $2 million. After soaring past that, $3 million, then $4 million.
Watt's generous followers haven't let him down. On Twitter, Watt announced Wednesday they have raised $5.1 million. Knowing the full significance of what his efforts could mean to people affected by the devastating flooding that has engulfed Houston and Southeastern Texas, Watt announced a new goal:
$5.1 MILLION!— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) August 30, 2017
New Goal: $6 Millionhttps://t.co/SR6DmnNbyM pic.twitter.com/0Vfd3XMnDe
It only makes sense Watt would embrace a goal of $6 million to help people severely affected by the unprecedented flooding in the region. Watt's good deeds are generating plenty of support.

In addition to the Titans, the Texans, New England Patriots, New York Jets and the NFL Foundation are each donating $1 million to relief efforts. Thursday's game between the Texans and Cowboys, which was initially relocated to AT&T Stadium, has been canceled so Texans players can be with their families in Houston.

As a consumer you have lots of questions about our product. Hopefully, we have the answer you are looking for here.
The Unico System can be used to heat, cool or ventilate homes or buildings that have no ductwork, inadequate ductwork, or where little space for ducting is available. The Unico System adapts perfectly to any type of residential setting such as homes or flats. It also adapts to many commercial and industrial applications. The Unico System operates like any other central air system, but with greater benefits.
The Unico System is extremely quiet because of its special sound-absorbing insulation. We insulate our air handler and use vibration pads on the system to reduce vibration and add extra sound absorption. Special sound-attenuated supply ducts ensure quiet operation. In most cases, people don't even notice the system is running.
Currently, there are 5 models available providing 3 to 18 kWs of cooling & heating.
One of the best selling features of the Unico System is that it can be used with any condensing unit of proper capacity. There are hundreds of matches listed in the ARI Unitary Directory. More than likely, you can use the condensing unit you are most familiar with. We also recently launched a new type of outdoor unit - the iSeries. This unit is incredibly efficient and has many features and benefits over traditional condensing units.
Each outlet is capable of delivering up to 19 L/s with a capacity of 0.6 kW cooling and 1.2 kW heating with hot water. We recommend that a minimum of 2 outlets per kW be installed. However, this will vary depending on the design of your system and your load requirements.
There are two types of outlets currently available: the round supply outlet and the slotted outlet. Ideally, the outlets should be located in the ceiling 125mm from the wall or corner. If conditions prohibit this, they can be placed in the floor or sidewall. Both round and slotted outlets come in a variety of colors and woods which can be stained to match a wood floor. A more minimalist bespoke design approach in 50mm round and custom linear lengths are also available.
The system requires only two types of duct - the main plenum and the supply tubing, which is 51mm or 64mm inside diameter supply duct with insulation.
The main plenum should be run as far as possible to keep supply runs as short as possible. The supply runs may be virtually as long as you need them to be. However, there will be reduced cooling capacity in long runs.
The Unico System's return duct is like a conventional system, only smaller because the system uses less air. A single or multiple return system can be used, depending on the project needs. It can also provide 100% outside air.
Yes, there are two ways to heat with our system:

Matthew Johnson has joined the company from Halewood International as national account manager, looking after key accounts including Direct Wines and Majestic; Shane McNally has joined from O'Briens in Ireland as sales support manager, and Jodie Kale has joined as PR and marketing assistant and graphic designer, from Barlow Doherty.
Managing director Robin Copestick said: "The first 10 months of working alongside Henkell & Co have helped us continue our growth plans.
"As a result we had a need for a larger sales force and also support team. I am looking forward to working with Matt, Shane and Jodie. Matt's experience of working at Halewood will be invaluable, Shane will be a great bridge between our sales team, the producers and the customers while Jodie will bring enthusiasm and creativity to our marketing and NPD team.
"Unfortunately I also have to announce that after nearly eight years at Copestick Murray, Rachel Archer has decided to leave us. Rachel has been a great friend and valuable member of the team. Her work with the I Heart brand has been brilliant but she leaves an excellent opportunity for someone to take over that work.

I personally use emacs under X almost exclusively. But some cygwin users like to use emacs in a terminal. And I occasionally find it useful to do that also (for instance, when I use ssh address@hidden to simulate 'su' in order to make a quick edit). As the emacs maintainer for cygwin, I'm trying to make this work as well as possible.
If you have cygwin, you have Windows. If you have Windows, use the native Emacs.
This is a matter of personal preference. For the kinds of things that I do, I find it more convenient to use cygwin emacs.

Radical new plans for Dublin traffic drawn up
Plans would see pedestrianisation of Suffolk Street and turning half of College Green into a public plaza
The plans envisage pedestrianising Suffolk Street and Church Lane, turning the southern half of College Green into a public plaza, making D'Olier Street and Beresford Place two-way and removing "general car traffic" from Westmoreland Street.
Radical plans to transform the movement of traffic in Dublin city centre – including a designated "orbital route" to cater for through-traffic – have been drawn up by the National Transport Authority (NTA).
The plans envisage pedestrianising Suffolk Street and Church Lane, turning the southern half of College Green into a public plaza, making D'Olier Street and Beresford Place two-way and removing "general car traffic" from Westmoreland Street.
Other measures include reconfiguring Christchurch Place as a "pedestrian-friendly space" with just one lane of traffic in each direction, turning Westland Row into a "public transport-only corridor" and redesigning both Kelly's Corner and Leonard's Corner.
The NTA's draft City Centre Transport Assessment Study, which has been seen by The Irish Times, also proposes a city-centre cycle network, giving cyclists "defined routes . . . to traverse and access the city centre with minimal conflict with other road users".
The study, dated June 2013, reflects work by the NTA in consultation with Dublin City Council to "move away from incremental traffic changes towards a strategic plan that will be the basis for future decisions".
Priority to pedestrians
It is based on a number of assumptions, including the need to "actively discourage" through-traffic in the city centre, give greater priority to pedestrians and improve interchange between public transport services.
New traffic signal timings would be introduced so pedestrians have to wait no more than 45 seconds to cross a busy street. Bus routes would also be reconfigured to reduce "layover time" in the city centre and improve their efficiency.
The NTA is also considering the potential of two cross-city bus rapid transit routes linking Blanchardstown with UCD Belfield and Clongriffin with Tallaght.
According to the study, "there is a clear rationale to try and provide for the movement of vehicular traffic away from the central areas by providing an orbital route , with 15 "gateways" providing access.
The proposed orbital route would follow the North Circular Road and South Circular Road, linked on the east by the Samuel Beckett Bridge in Docklands and, on the west, by Clanbrassil Street, Patrick Street, High Street and Church Street.

(written from a Production point of view)
Benjamin Svetkey (born 1 April 1960; age 59) is a reporter for the Entertainment Weekly magazine who wrote a behind-the-scenes story, titled "Infiltrating Deep Space Nine", in 1992 and appeared as a background alien, a Peliar Zel native, in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine first season episode "Emissary".
The article which was published in issue #137, 25 September 1992, described Svetkey's set visit for "Emissary" and featured him prominently on the cover of the issue along with Armin Shimerman as Quark, Mark Allen Shepherd as Morn, and an unknown actress as an alien dabo girl. [1]
Svetkey, who was invited to visit the set arrived at 7 am at Paramount Stage 4 where make up artist Gil Mosko put his make up on. [2] According to Svetkey, he was too small to portray a Klingon and too tall to be a Ferengi so he ended up being a "5'9" asparagus spear". For the article he interviewed Armin Shimerman, Rene Auberjonois, and Avery Brooks.

APPrO shares highlights from Navigant's presentation on the Energy Cloud in IPPSO FACTO Magazine
In November, during APPrO's Canadian Power Conference, Jan Vrins, leader of Navigant's Energy practice, sketched a picture of pervasive changes ahead for the energy sector, highlighting how the Energy Cloud will shift value across generation, transmission, and distribution sectors, creating new opportunities for stakeholders and customers alike. Highlights from his presentation are included in APPrO's January edition of IPPSO Facto Magazine.
According to the article, Vrins shared three important takeaways:
Vrins also addressed emerging business models the Energy Cloud will bring to Canada and beyond, and noted the growing importance of sustainability and efforts to reduce greenhouse emissions. He left the audience thinking about whether the Energy Cloud has already emerged, and what it might mean for tomorrow's energy sector.

Cristal Lebron
My name is Cristal. I am a very understandable and kind person from time to time bipolar. I love makeup. It's something i love to do. I have lived in the bronx for part of my life. Something important that was turning point in my life was coming to pulse. Before i was one of those students that really didn't care about school like that. At first the beginning of 9th grade i was doing good till as i reached every grade i started getting lazy till now things are changing little by little.
In school i really like to stick to myself. I find it more peaceful sticking to myself not dealing with any drama. In school im good in english class and other classes if i put the effort into them. Some teachers just don't motivate you to do what you have to do and to be honest it would be good to have some motivation at least from teachers.
Outside of school i like to just go home and rest. I be feeling too stressed with school so home is my happy place. Sometimes i chill with friends when i'm in the mood. Outside of school i like to go out and go shopping. I got this way ever since i started losing friends i barely have friends and i actually feel better like that.

AMNW Design Challenge: Push The Boundaries
It's the final week of the AMNW Design Challenge. Four talented fashion designers from the Art Institute of Portland are going head to head for the chance to win top prizes valued at $4500.
The final challenge is called "Push the Boundaries". Each designer must create an Avant-garde look using fabrics by Robert Kaufman. The designers Natalya Hebert, Gerry Barnard, Amy Sim, and Lindsay Chapel can use any commercial brand pattern or use their own design.
Last Friday, the designers went to Fabric Depot, where they had 90 minutes (and a budget of $175) to formulate their design and select their fabrics and supplies. The choices the designers made were exciting and should inspire them to reach for that next level of fashion excellence!
On Friday, February 24th , the designers will present their Avant-garde fashions on AMNW. It is anyone's race to win. The final challenge will be worth twice the point value as earned in prior weeks. The AMNW Design Challenge results will be announced on Monday, February 27th.
Be sure to log on to KATU.com to cast a vote for your favorite designer.
All Design Challenge garments are on display at Fabric Depot. Come by and take a look!

I think it's safe to say that John McCain is not looking out for the American people's best interests. He has repeatedly attacked President Trump's policies and has proven he is more in line with the Democratic Party than Republicans. However, I never imagined he could be directly linked to terrorist Rachid Redouane.
Recent reports have come forward explaining how John McCain's Free Syrian Army, which is a militia McCain funded and supplied arms to, trained Rachid Redouane who ultimately was responsible for the London Bridge attack that took place a couple of weeks ago.
World Net Daily reports that one of the Muslims involved in the London bridge attack used to work with the Free Syrian Army. In case you didn't hear about it, the Free Syrian Army is a militia that has been built up by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). McCain is responsible for arming and supporting these people and therefore gave the terrorist Rachid Redouane a chance to act.
We have listened to McCain go around claiming the FSA is a great force that is going to battle al-Assad's regime and bring freedom to the Syrians. The problem here is this. That is CLEARLY not the case.
If there is one extremist in the group, the odds are there are plenty more where he came from. McCain has been arming a militia with terrorist tendencies but TRUMP is the traitor? They cannot be serious.
McCain loves throwing around quotes saying that the war in Syria is NOT full of dangerous Islamists and extremists. When you cause terror in one of the biggest cities in the world, you are an extremist. Period.
You have to wonder how many other attacks are associated with the Free Syrian Army. It only makes sense that there were more people involved, and in particular on that day.
When you have multiple terror attacks across one city, and ONE person is tied to a group, guess where the rest usually came from? It is disgusting that McCain has been doing this for YEARS, almost preparing these people to come after the US.
It is going to be interesting to see the mainstream media's take on this event. The odds are they won't even mention it. In fact, we bet the Liberal stations don't even pick it up.
On the conservative networks, the story WILL get covered, and guests will be brought on to speak about McCain's involvement. But once the liberals get asked a straightforward question, they are going to start talking about how we need to leave McCain alone because…well…TRUMP AND RUSSIA.
It's about the only thing liberals know how to do, they resemble the boy who cried wolf and eventually people are going to catch on. There is only so far you can take the Trump and Russia story before they reach a complete dead end. You can rest assured that they will never stop as long as Trump is in office.
It's high time we have an investigation on John McCain and all the shady dealings he has had over the years. Enough is enough and Trump has proven time and time again that there is no dirt on him. Democrats can try, but they will be doing so in vain for at least the next 4 years. The American people deserve the truth and it can start with that old traitor John McCain. Heck, you might as well toss Obama and Hillary's names in as well because we all know how evil they are. What do you think? Will an investigation on McCain ever happen or will he dodge bullets his whole life?
