The colour is a pleasing orangey pink. Lots of aromatics to be enjoyed here – strawberries and florals. This is a sparkler brimming with summer freshness. Clean, lots of fruit, excellent length and a nice touch of tartness on the finish to tie it all together. Also, boasts an attractive creamy texture.
Score: 91/100 Best drinking: Now Alc: 14%
Price alone would suggest one should prefer this to the Rose but the sheer drinkability of the pink bubbles gets it the nod. Not that this is anything other than a fine fizz as well. It is undeniably more subtle. There are spices, lemon and grapefruit notes. A crisp, clean style with mid-length. Very pleasant drinking.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 12%
A seamless, supple, enchanting wine of great length. There is a slight dustiness at the moment, but the components are all still melding together. The flavours range far and wide, but look especially for plums, black fruits, cloves and black cherries. Very, very fine tannins, leaving the impression of endless plushness. Surely one of the great Mt Edelstones. Just glorious.
Score: 97/100 Best drinking: well cellared, it has three decades and more ahead of it. Alc: 14.5%
Bill Downie is a pinot specialist and it is wonderfully reflected in his three wines, from three different Victorian regions. Which is "better"? Each year, personal preference will play a role and with the superb 2015 vintage, this Yarra Valley effort gets the nod for me. Stunning stuff. Spice, red fruits and florals – just gorgeous aromas that explode from the glass. A dense core of sweet fruit which sings, backed by good acidity by the balance is key. Lovely seductive texture. Seamless. A wine which dances.
Score: 97/100 Best drinking: now for 8 years. Alc: 13%
All three of Bill's pinots reveal the glories of the grape. Here we have more forest floor, a wine more rustic and ripe with a smoky campfire note. An alluring richness here and real length. This is the pick for the long haul. Great length and silky tannins. Exciting stuff. A few bottles of this in the cellar will bring rich rewards. 2015 was so good in Mornington Peninsula that this could not help but be a stellar effort.
Score: 96/100 Best drinking: over the next decade. Alc: 13%
Perhaps the 'prettiest' of the three pinots in the portfolio, it is delightfully vibrant. There are floral notes and a touch of the variety's trademark undergrowth character. Aromas and flavours merge into herb garden notes, spices and florals. Finely balanced and with impressive length. Really worth lining all three up and finding your own favourite.
Score: 95/100 Best drinking: now for six years. Alc: 13%
Not often encountered, this Italian white variety does very well in the King Valley. Look for a medley of peaches, almonds, stonefruit and orange rind. A nicely rounded palate with an underlying vibrancy. It offers more weight than many and there is some complexity starting to build here.
Score: 89/100 Best drinking: now for three years. Alc: 12.5%
Another rarely seen Italian variety that has made a home in the King Valley – expect to see much more of these grapes in coming years. Opens with peach kernel notes. There is a touch of oak still evident and the texture is soft and well-rounded. Offers decent length. Lot of flavour for the money here. Top value.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 13.5%
Tying up a neat trio of King Valley 'Italian' whites, this offers classic pinot grigio fresh flavours, crisp pear, citrus and a pleasing minerally underlay. Some grapefruit and wet stone characters as well. This can be a neutral grape, but no such concerns here. Oodles of flavour. Crisp finish, though no great length. A very pleasant summer drink.
Score: 89/100 Best drinking: now Alc: 12.1%
Adelaide Hills has proved itself as our top sauv blanc region, though it so often seems little more than a footnote in comparison to New Zealand's Marlborough district. This offers immediate tropical notes, backed by some minerality and a touch of dustiness. Some ripe gooseberry hints. The texture is a little flinty, which works, but it does come across as a smidge tough on the finish. Does offer some length.
Score: 87/100 Best drinking: over the next year. Alc: 12.5%
There is no mistaking the crisp, fresh pear notes that this variety just exudes. In this wine, it offers a supple texture and the impressive length that seems to be the hallmark of DV wines. Finely balanced with a nice flick of acidity to tie things up neatly. A fine example of pinot grigio.
Score: 89/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 12.5%
A quality chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills. Opens with appealing lifted aromas and a noticeable nut/cashew character, with some gentle guava, stonefruit and tropical tones. The oak is perhaps a little upfront at the moment, but it will surely meld with some time. Juicy acidity, nice balance and good length but be in no hurry.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: leave for three to four years. Alc: 12%
This is a youthful, tight, red-fruited pinot looking to burst its restraints. Coiled power is just waiting for the passage of some time. Very youthful at this stage, there are some appealing red cherry, floral and slightly sappy notes here. Good length, balance and real potential. For me, looking at almost any DV wine in the year or two after release, does it a disservice. These are wines that will age gracefully and in almost all cases, deserve higher scores with time.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: leave it for five years. Alc: 13.5%
This Austrian variety is proving a hit in the Adelaide Hills and I doubt few makers do it as well as these guys. This effort offers a delightful mix of citrus, florals and even some stonefruit. There is a pleasing supple texture, with decent length. Fresh, and although no great complexity, this is a really delicious wine. It will drink well for several years.
Score: 92/100 Best drinking: now for three years. Alc: 12%
This came across as surprisingly muted at this stage but it is very young. Quite a restrained style. Look closely and there are notes of stonefruit and a little lemon pith, but it is rather straightforward. A pleasant Chardy but the value is with the gruner veltliner or go upscale with the 'Nest Egg' Chardonnay.
Score: 89/100 Alc: 13.5%
A much more serious and impressive wine than the 'standard', as it should be at twice the price. Only around 300 cases made. It is elegant, yet focused, and has the underlying power one might expect in a fine wine. There is quality oak integration, good acidity and inspiring length. It offers an array of gentle flavours, nothing dominates, but there is a lovely supple lemony note which is a highlight. Concentration and balance here. Very fine.
Score: 94/100 Best drinking: will drink well over the next eight years. Alc: 13.5%
Dense and opaque, this is a full-flavoured style with big and bold strokes in every direction. Lovely aromatics. It is spicy and floral with purple fruit characters. Good intensity. There are notes of beef stock, black olives, cloves and soy. Abundant tannins, though they are quite fine. There is length and balance here. This is a wine with a future.
Score: 93/100 Best drinking: four to twelve years. Alc: 14.5%
This savoury, spicy Italian variety is the flavour of the month and it has found a home in the Adelaide Hills. Some lovely dry herb and salami characters. Nice weight on the palate but it is soft, delightfully so. And gentle. A hint of vegemite on a lengthy finish. Really like the wine but it deserves better packaging surely? A clear bottle, taller than a riesling bottle, wrapped in an all-encompassing plastic coating that, when two bottles are next to each other, looks like someone has put 'Where's Wally' socks on a pair of crutches.
Score: 92/100 Best drinking: up to five years. Alc: 14.5%
Another fine wine, more dodgy packaging. Nero d'Avola is another Italian variety making a name for itself in Australia, though early days. More floral and with an appealing cherry confectionary note. Ripe and juicy, though it is quite forward. A delicious drink, but, while it will surely hang around for several years, there seems no real reason not to enjoy its fruity freshness.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 14.5%
The Farrs, Gary and Nick, have always made exemplary Chardonnay, though often you have to work for the rewards they can offer, as the wines can be wonderfully subtle. This is quite a muted style on the nose, but is more expressive on the palate – elegance with attitude. The oak is perfectly integrated and there is fine acidity backing it. Impressive balance and serious length. A classic chardonnay with a more exciting future ahead of it than most.
Score: 95/100 Best drinking: up to a decade. Alc: 13%
I'd be interested to know if the Farrs think they have ever made a better shiraz – if so, not sure I've seen it. Love this. Wonderfully expressive. Delightful and yet intense, cool climate shiraz with florals, spices, a sprinkle of black pepper, a note of licorice and coffee beans on the finish. Supple and seamless texture with juicy acidity. Very long.
Score: 96/100 Best drinking: 15 years with ease. Alc: 13.5%
A viognier very much in the more elegant and moderated style, eschewing the apricotty exuberance (and often blousiness) that so many offer. Florals and stonefruit notes with an underlying smoky/mineral character. Fine acidity and a better balanced wine than most examples of this variety.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 12%
Rob Diletti is now firmly ensconced as one of the West's superstar winemakers, even if perhaps not as well known in the East as he will surely soon be. This is a really impressive riesling from the Great Southern region and fantastic value at around twenty bucks. A hint of oystershell and seaspray, florals, spice and wet slate. Nicely balanced, terrific persistence. Maintains its intensity on a long finish.
Score: 94/100 Best drinking: will see fifteen years without blinking. Alc: 11.5%
Hard to believe that Tim Kirk, who has been making such stellar wines at Clonakilla in the Canberra region for so long, does not have some form of divine help. His riesling is rarely discussed, left in the shadow of the amazing 'Shiraz Viognier', but it deserves far more attention. Wet stone, minerals, pears, citrus, florals. Builds nicely on the mid-palate. Good acidity and length. Will age, but can be enjoyed earlier than some.
Score: 94/100 Best drinking: over the next decade. Alc: 12%
Never let it be said that Chester Osborn ever made things easy for those who enjoy a simple label. Concentrate instead on the wine – from McLaren Vale, this is a rarely seen Spanish variety offering oodles of flavour – cranberries, raspberries, spices, plums. It is ripe, fresh and savoury with bright flavours. Good length. May age, but there seems little point. Delicious drinking as a young, flavourful wine.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: now and for three years. Alc: 14.2%
Their flagship pinot noir, from vines yielding a meagre one tonne per acre. 25% new oak, a mix of puncheons and barrels, and more dependence on the MV6 clone. It is from one of their warmer sites, which has been providing fruit for the reserve wine for nearly a decade. Red cherry notes, supple texture, good acidity. Slightly richer and deeper than the 'standard'. Terrific effort.
Score: 96/100 Best drinking: for a decade. Alc: 13.5%
A small production – 150 cases – flagship chardonnay from the Mornington Peninsula, from a mix of four clones, aged in one-year-old puncheons and made with close to 100% malolactic fermentation. This is a nicely integrated wine, richer than the 'Verve', but well balanced. Richer fruit notes and even a pleasing custard-like character. A fine, complex chardy with a good future.
Score: 94/100 Best drinking: 3 to 6 years. Alc: 13.2%
Pinot gris has proved a winner for this impressive Mornington Peninsula winery, moving from 200 cases in 2004 to over 4,000 now. This was made with by way of whole bunch press and a little oak, all to add some extra complexity and it works nicely. A hint of stonefruit on the mid-palate and a flick of acidity to finish. A very good pinot gris.
Score: 89/100 Best drinking: now for two years. Alc: 13.5%
A beautifully fragrant, perfumed Mornington pinot noir, which offers red fruits in abundance, raspberries, some spices and a hint of nutmeggy oak. Well integrated and a slightly savoury finish. Impressive length. Made from vines yielding a mere two tonnes per acre and from a mix of clones, this is a pinot revealing the glories of the region.
Score: 93/100 Best drinking: should drink superbly over the next eight years. Alc: 13.5%
This wine was originally made with no malo but in recent years, that has increased to 50%. Old barrels are still the go. This is a delightful, lean, citrussy Chardy, much more Chablis-like than some of the richer styles. There is a hint of melon but the citrus notes dominate. Good concentration and length. A fine example of the modern style of chardonnay.
Score: 92/100 Best drinking: now for five years. Alc: 12.5%
One of the most famous of all Clare riesling makers is right on form here. Lovely wet slate, river pebble notes. Hint of a lanolin-like character. Crisp acidity and excellent length, but where this wine really shines is on the palate where the flavours explode into life. Attractive citrus and floral notes, this wine perhaps offers fuller flavours than some.
Score: 95/100 Best drinking: will be a joy over the next 12 to 15 years. Alc: 12.5%
Neil Pike is not one to seek the spotlight, but the fact that he has steadily been earning a reputation as one of the Clare Valley, nay Australia's, finest riesling makers has thrust him firmly into centre stage. The Pikes Riesling is simply one of the most reliable and best value wines found anywhere. 'The Merle' is their flagship riesling and it sits comfortably with our best. This vintage is a stunner. Concentrated, immaculately balanced. Pears, florals, citrus, minerals. Great length. An absolutely classic Clare riesling.
Score: 97/100 Best drinking: will age brilliantly for decades. Alc: 12%
A famous old Aussie fortified which is in top form. The colour has hints of bronze/orange. A lovely aged tawny style. The flavours have that appealing rancio touch with some golden syrup notes. Good length. Not overly complex or intense, but it has impressive length and, put simply, is a joy to drink. Delicious.
Score: 92/100 Best drinking: store it well and it will keep endlessly. Alc: 21%
A fine Clare Valley winery, with a track record of excellent riesling among other grapes, this vintage is still so closed and tight that it seems to almost disappear within itself. Spring freshness here. Clean and pure with decent length on the finish. There seems little point in drinking it now – far better to cellar it for as long as you can and reap the rewards.
Score: 92/100 Best drinking: leave for five to eight years and then drink over the next decade. Alc: 11%
The Octavius is always a class act, but one that needs time to reveal itself. These days, the oak, a mix of French barriques and Hungarian hogsheads, has been relegated to a support role and the wine is all the better for it. Fine example of a powerful Barossa shiraz (2/3rds from the Eden Valley and the rest from the Barossa floor) from old vines, but it is one for the cellar. Raspberry, floral and even blueberry touches here.
Score: 93/100 Best drinking: not before ten years and then for another decade or more. Alc: ??????????
The 55th release in the series of the classic Aussie of cabernet and shiraz, this time honouring their current director of wine. This is a step up on a very good 2012, with an extra core of power and richness. Plums, dry herbs, licorice. Darker fruits and powerful tannins. Lovely ripeness, but a wine that really needs time. The oak is a mix of French, American and Hungarian.
Score: 93/100 Best drinking: five to fifteen years. Alc: 14.1%
Yalumba's new super-blend, from vines dating back as far as 1901. A mix of Coonawarra cabernet, Barossa cabernet and Barossa shiraz. One for the cellar. Finely balanced, tight and with length. There are dark fruits, hints of old leather, cloves, black olives and much more. Great intensity here, with real persistence. Abundant yet silky tannins. Not a foot out of place. An Aussie classic.
Score: 97/100 Best drinking: Any time over the next three decades. Alc: ????????????
Yalumba have been offering a premium Coonawarra cabernet since 1987 and this is one of the best of them all. It is tight and still very youthful, with pleasing blackberry notes and a slight earthiness. Lovely supple tannins, though they are well structured for the long term, and excellent length. A floral note weaves its way in and out. A cracker Coonawarra cab.
Score: 94/100 Best drinking: A long term proposition, up to 20 years. Alc: 14.1%
Grenache still seems to be everybody's poor cousin, but it really can make exceptional wine, especially if from the right sites, old vines (bush vines) and usually dry grown. Not every vintage suits it and, while 2011 was perhaps the 'least' vintage in recent history, it worked well for this variety. This is fragrant with strawberries and warm earth notes. Nice flick of acidity to carry it.
Score: 90/100 Best drinking: over the next half dozen years. Alc: 13.2%

Giant use their in house woven Advanced SL (T800) composite with CNT resin technology and continuous fibre technology to create one of the most responsive framesets available offering an excellent blend of low weight, pedalling stiffness and vertical compliance. Advanced SL frames use an integrated seatmast which minimizes weight and maximises comfort. A full Advanced SL composite fork with an Overdrive 2 keeps weight down and steering ultra precise. Advanced SL models come complete with a RideSense ANT+ speed/cadence sensor (sensor fitted upon request) and use Giant's complete wheelsystems.Giant's TCR started the compact frame revolution over 15 years ago and almost all manufacturers have now followed suit taking advantage of the weight saving, stiffness and fit benefits given by the sloping top tube design. The TCR was a game changer back then and the latest TCR brings the bike back up to date taking advantage of all the latest technologies whilst retaining the great all round capabilities of this modern classic. Giant's TCR has race geometry and a race fit making it the perfect tool for riders looking for all round performance.Giant's TCR is designed for all round riding combining low weight, compliance and lateral stiffness courtesy of the Advanced SL composite, MegaDrive downtube and integrated seatpost. It's perfect for riders who ride on varied terrain and want a responsive, fun ride with excellent handling and efficient power transfer. Team Sunweb-Giant rider Tom Dumoulin used his TCR Advanced SL to great effect by taking overall victory in the 2017 Giro.For 2019, Giant are including their new Power Pro double sided power meter with this model. Power measurement is a great way to help you understand your riding and is relevant for all types of riders. Data is transmitted by Bluetooth and ANT+ and can be used with Giant's App or other third party software. Similar double sided power meters can cost over £1000 and by including this great piece of kit with the bike from new you can reap the rewards of power measurement for a relatively small cost.The TCR Advanced SL 1's drivetrain is courtesy of Shimano's brilliant Ultegra Di2 electronic shifting components which offer low weight and a sublime gear shift which is superior to mechanical systems. Gearing covers a wide range with 52x36 at the front and 11x28 at the rear. Giant's excellent SLR 1 42mm wheel system offers a full carbon rim laced into the hub using Dynamic Balanced Lacing spokes which maximize responsiveness and durability. The superlight carbon clincher rim has been developed to provide consistent braking performance no matter what the conditions and have been shown to tolerate much higher braking temperatures than almost any competitor's products and the 42mm deep rim offers a great balance of aero and stability. The SLR1 wheels and Gavia AC tyre are tubeless which offers a superior ride quality and puncture protection over a traditional inner tube setup.The Giant TCR Advanced SL 1 is a true pro level race weapon and offers an ultra responsive ride for riders looking for all round road performance.Please note: This bicycle features an integrated seat post which requires cutting to suit the rider's required saddle height. Once cut, adjustment is still possible (typically 20-25mm). We strongly recommend performing this task for you in store. Please note: This model features tubeless ready wheels and tyres which offer a superior ride and less rolling resistance than traditional innertubes. This system requires tyre sealant to function correctly and this will be fitted in our workshop prior to despatch. The nature of this sealant means that the tyre may not be fully sealed until it has been ridden a short distance and therefore the bicycle may arrive with reduced pressure in the tyres. Please check the bicycle's tyres are inflated to the recommended pressure before cycling. Should you wish for the bicycle to be supplied with inner tubes fitted rather being set up tubeless please contact us after placing your order.

We love scavenger hunts. They're what we do.
Sometimes they're what other people do, too. But in the case of these three real-life scavenger hunts, rich men or mysterious organizations capture the world's imagination and lead avid hunters on years-long quests for buried treasure or unknown rewards. Check out these wild, unbelievable hunts that have actually happened—and are still happening today.
1. The Fenn Treasure
When he was diagnosed with cancer in 1988, millionaire art collector Forrest Fenn decided he would bury a treasure chest before he died. He survived the cancer, but in 2010 Fenn went ahead and buried his treasure anyway.
Thought to contain $1 million to $3 million in assorted jewels, coins, and more, the bronze chest is supposedly buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. After he hid his booty, Fenn released a riddle full of clues. It begins like this:
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk,
Put in below the home of Brown.
Since 2010, Fenn has released more clues, including one as recently as January 2015, and a partial treasure map inside his 2013 autobiography. To this day, not a soul has found the treasure chest, though many have hunted for it—and gone so far as to stalk Fenn himself!
2. La Chouette d'Or: The Golden Owl
In April 1993, a Frenchman going by the name Max Valentin claimed to have buried La Chouette d'Or, the golden owl, in a secret location. The owl statue (actually made of bronze) could be found only with the help of 11 clues Valentin and a sculptor named Michel Becker released at that time. If recovered, the owl could be traded in for a fabulously valuable prize.
Despite valiant efforts—one person apparently bombed a chapel thinking the owl might be hidden beneath it—the owl has never been found. Valentin claimed one attempt came awfully close, as he reported finding evidence that someone had dug up the ground near the owl's hiding place. Valentin died in 2009, but the mystery lives on.
3. Cicada 3301
A shadowy organization releases three mysterious code-filled scavenger hunts on the Internet to recruit highly intelligent individuals. It might sound like the wind-up for a Hollywood cyber-thriller, but truth once again proves stranger than fiction.
Cicada 3301 published its first test on January 5, 2012, then two more on January 5 in 2013 and 2014. Accompanied by a creepy cicada image and a cryptic introduction, each hunt, according to CBS News, "involved online images, cryptography, number theory, physical clues, phone calls, QR codes, and websites on the 'darknet.'"
The purpose and outcome of Cicada's three hunts remain unknown to this day (at least that's what "they" what you to think), but the puzzles have captured the imagination of many—including the folks behind the CBS show Person of Interest, which featured a scavenger hunt inspired by Cicada's work.
For scavenger hunts a little less on the bizarre, creepy, and impenetrable side, visit our public hunts calendar.

- Autophagy is a cellular recycling system induced by HIV-1 through an unknown mechanism that facilitates virus replication. We propose autophagy is induced through elevation of cytoplasmic calcium triggered by Vpu viroporin-mediated release of ER calcium. We will determine how HIV induces autophagy and the role Vpu plays in calcium homeostasis.

- Enterocyte Calcium Channels in Rotavirus-mediated Activation of Chloride Secretion
- Grant funding from American Gastroenterological Association
- Diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly among children under five years old in developing countries. Secretory diarrhea due to enteric virus or bacterial infections is caused by increased cyclic nucleotide or calcium signaling that causes chloride secretion by enterocytes. While the molecular mechanisms underlying cyclic nucleotide signaling have been determined using bacterial toxins, such as cholera toxin, much less is known about the mechanisms underlying calcium-induced chloride secretion in the intestine. Rotavirus is an enteric virus that exploits calcium signaling to cause diarrhea and remains a significant public health threat in developing countries. This AGA pilot award supports new research to identify the calcium channels and calcium signaling pathways responsible for activating chloride secretion from rotavirus-infected cells. By mapping the calcium signaling pathways that underlie rotavirus diarrhea, we gain insight into how better to treat infectious diarrhea diseases and potentially develop new therapeutics for next generation anti-diarrheal drugs.

What Your Face Shape Could Be Saying About Your Personality
It's not an exact science, but you may be able to learn a lot about someone's personality just from their face shape and characteristics.
If you have a heart-shaped face…
Cookie Studio/shutterstock
…You're wild in the bedroom. A heart-shaped face might mean something about your sex life, according to a study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. Men and women with shorter, wider faces reported being more sexually motivated and having a stronger sex drive than people with faces of other dimensions, the researchers found.
You'll also be interested to learn what your handwriting reveals about your personality.
If you have a square face…
WAYHOME studio/shutterstock
…You're a CEO whose dream job is in the WWE. Men with broad foreheads and square faces were more likely to be perceived as aggressive, dominant, and unethical, according to the ASB study. This combination of ruthless drive and risk-taking makes for good leaders, like CEOs, but would be equally appropriate in the wrestling ring. One possible connection: These are also three of the 13 signs of a psychopath.
If you have a round face…
Dasha Petrenko/shutterstock
…You might snore like a chainsaw in a tunnel. Round faces may look more innocent, but they're also more likely to drive you nuts at bedtime. People with round face shapes are more prone to snoring, even after accounting for age, sex, and obesity, according to a study done by Case Western Reserve University. Fact: Nearly half of adults snore; so even if your face is long and thin, you're not off the hook.
If you have a diamond-shaped face…
Cookie Studio/shutterstock
…You'd make an awesome neighbor. Do people often tell you that you just seem dependable and upright? Chances are you have a face shape and features considered "average", and in the U.S. that often means a diamond-shaped face, with prominent cheekbones, and a narrower jawline and chin. People trust those with average faces more than people with unique features, even if they consider those other people to look very beautiful or strong, according to a study published in Psychological Science. It may have an evolutionary explanation, helping keep people with their tribe. Check out these free personality tests.
If you have a oval-shaped face…
Cookie Studio/shutterstock
…You could win beauty pageants. Having an average-looking mug might make people want to be your best friend but if you want them to drool over you, it's better to have a face shape and structure that is slightly different than what is considered typical for your culture, the same study found. Your face is just one measure of beauty and not even the most important one.
If you have a rectangular face…
Ranta Images/shutterstock
You're a strong, powerful leader. People with traditionally "strong" faces—high cheekbones, wide foreheads, and prominent jaws—are seen as being more powerful and in control than people with longer, narrower faces, according to a study published in Psychological Science. And this bears out in the real world. The researchers found that companies headed by people with this face shape were more financially successful than companies with long-faced CEOs.
If you have big eyes…
WAYHOME studio/shutterstock
…Your life's motto is "go along to get along." If you have high eyebrows combined with a short forehead, you're more likely to be agreeable, according to a Chinese study in Psychology Today. Raised eyebrows and wide eyes are typically associated with openness so it makes sense that people who have these features naturally would be presumed to be willing to please. P.S. Wearing comfy shoes is also a sign of agreeableness, according to these 12 tiny habits that reveal a lot about your personality.
If you have a heart-shaped face…
Cookie Studio/shutterstock
…You're a people person. Introversion and extroversion are often considered a core piece of someone's personality, defining what they enjoy and how they make relationships. And you may be able to read this trait in their face, say the Chinese scientists. Women who have a more protruding nose and lips, a recessive chin and smaller jaw muscles are seen as more outgoing and extroverted while those with a flatter nose and more prominent jaw may be natural introverts. Here's what your voice says about your personality.
If you have a rectangular or diamond-shaped face…
WAYHOME studio/shutterstock
…You might need anger management classes. Observers shown pictures of men were able to gauge how aggressive each man was simply by looking at their face—even if they saw the picture for less than one second, according to research done by Brock University. The men had been previously ranked for aggressive behavior and the volunteers' visual assessments correlated highly with those rankings. The big tip-off? How wide the man's face was; the wider the face, the more aggressive they were presumed to be. This can also be one of the 13 personal details your house reveals about your personality.
If you have an oval face…
WAYHOME studio/shutterstock
…You're good at seeing the big picture. Strangely, your face shape may also be correlated with your problem-solving and focusing skills, according to the Psychological Science research. People with faces that are nearly equal in width and height are more likely to be perceived as powerful and those who feel powerful tend to look at the big picture rather than focusing on small details and are also better at staying on task, the scientists noted.
Next, find out which personality type is the rarest in the world.

Dr. Alain Rambach
In 1967, following his studies at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, Dr. Alain Rambach joined the Pasteur Institute where he worked with professor François Jacob, Nobel Prize winner in genetics. In 1973, he completed his thesis in bacterial genetics, facing a strong opposition from the scientific community. Dr. Rambach embarked on his research in gene manipulation.
After two years at Stanford University as a postgraduate in biochemistry, he returned to France in 1976 and joined the Pasteur Institute as one of the leading scientists in the field of genetic engineering. In an unrelated field, he pioneered, invented and patented a system for detecting
bacteria by 'chromogenic differentiation' culture media (1979).
In 1980, Dr. Rambach established the firm Genetica as a joint venture with Rhône Poulenc. Genetica has been involved in genetic engineering and has become one of the leading R&D companies in the field of pharmaceutical fermentation process. When Rhône Poulenc incorporated Genetica into its structure, Dr. Rambach decided to pursue his goal and devotes his talent and energy to developing another invention.
In 1989, he patented a 'chromogenic' system for detection of the
pathogen, known as Rambach
Agar. This was the first commercially available chromogenic culture medium. Dr. Rambach founded CHROMagar Microbiology in 1993.

Ms. Chanuki Wanniarachchi
BSc in Psychology, Lecturer, KIU
Psychology, the field which unravels the mysteries of the human brain, definitely has an interesting history behind it. On the verge of exploring the human brain and curing mental illnesses, trephining or drilling the skull can be considered as one of the highlights of the history of Psychology. During ancient times, such surgeries were performed if a person behaved 'abnormally'. Ever since, it has been evolving, and has become the modern psychology we know of today. Up to date, it has evolved and advanced to a level where, after extensive research done all throughout the decades, more effective and humane psychotherapy came into being.Further, the modern psychology not only focuses on mental illnesses, but rather a broader area. As a result, psychology has been expanded into many different subfields such as Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Educational Psychology, Organizational Psychology, Critical Psychology, Health Psychology, Child Psychology, Sports Psychology, Forensic Psychology and many more.
As the definition of Psychology: the scientific study of mental processes and behavior, it does implythat psychology deals with the brain and its processes. We, humans have the most complicated and the smartest brain of all species and the brain is a crucial part of the body which influences the existence of mankind. At this point, if you are thinking about the instances where we DON'T use our brain and rather behave unconsciously, I would liketolet you know delightfully, that too is a matter of "psychology".
Psychology has been and continues to be an extremely popular field among many western countries, but is new to Sri Lanka. Earlier, seeking psychological support is considered to be a taboo. Ironically, Psychology was used to be stereotyped as a field which deals with "crazy people". Hence, Psychology was not considered as a valuable higher education option and pursuing a career in psychology was considered to be a dead end. However, the truth as well as what's unique and special about psychology is that it is not a field which is purely based on hospital settings, but a field whichgoes beyond that: businesses, schools, community, crime and law, research and many more. Simply, psychology can be related to any setting or scenario which involves 'humans'.
With time and much awareness, it's fascinating to see that now people haveactually started becoming keen to learn more about this "mysterious" subject and seek its help. As an emerging field, psychology has created many career opportunities such as clinical psychologist,school psychologist, forensic psychologist, business psychologist, counselor, researcher, psychotherapist,human resources officer and many more.Within a short span of time, Psychology has given birth to many Sri Lankan Psychologists who are providing an incredible service not only to Sri Lankans but also to the international communities.
As the newest addition to the higher education sector, KIU believes in catering more diverse and unique educational opportunities for the Sri Lankan youth. Therefore, KIU is now offering the BSc (Hons) in Psychology degree program which is recognized by the UGC and approved by the Ministry of Higher Education. The curriculum includes the highest number of modules covering many subfields of psychology which are new to Sri Lanka. Further, it includes a research component as well as a placement/internship in order to enable the students to obtain core skills and keep up with the pace of the changing and developing world making them the best in their respective career fields. The vision of KIU is to provide quality education through world class standards. KIU challenges the traditional university teaching styles and introduces futuristic teaching methods which are entirely student-focused and paves way to create leaders rather than mere undergraduates. We believe that this would be a great opportunity for the students who have a passion for psychology and a vision to impart a valuable contribution to Sri Lanka, and to the world.The registrations for the next intake is now open and we at the KIU, are ready to offer you an unforgettable university experience, like no other.

Rochdale Council is now consulting on a proposal to provide additional secondary school places at Siddal Moor Sports College with effect from September 2019.
The proposal is to enlarge Siddal Moor Sports College by providing an additional 60 places in each new admission year group. The enlargement of the school would be to increase the admission number to 270 from September 2019 for each new successive year group, from the current admission number of 210.
The current total capacity of the school is 1,050 places and the increase in places will mean that the total capacity will rise to 1,350 places overall.
Rochdale Borough Council will implement the proposal if Cabinet provides approval.


text: Research and papers relating to stock selection and security analysis. This section includes reports and articles which help fund managers and investment analysts examine their stock selection process. Popular themes in this category include papers on company valuation methods; how to assess equity valuation and identify the best approaches to stock screening; how to use price/book ratio..., PE multiples, PEG ratios, equity cash flow, free cash flow, APV (Adjusted Present Value), economic profit, EVA, dividend discount models, and other metrics. Papers which help equity fund managers use factor-based investing models to build a better beta (smart beta approaches using risk factors to achieve superior returns) are also well read. Other surveys and white papers in this section look at the case for active equity managers, the characteristics (hallmarks) of successful equity managers, how to use big data in stock selection, active versus passive strategies, momentum strategies, trading rules, pairwise correlations and stock volatility. A key question for equity managers is how to determine the valuation of an equity market. One of the most credible tools for equity valuation is the Shiller PE.

It's strange how things change sometimes without you even noticing.
A couple of nights ago I spent some time on Yahoo Messenger chatting with a friend. Sally was watching Liverpool lose a soccer match. We shared some of our favourite music and courtesy of YouTube were able to listen to and see the people that we were talking about. It was great! I discovered some new music that I'd never come across before … and it was really nice to chat.
There are so many things that we can do that just weren't possible even just a few years ago.
The Internet opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
Reminds me also of the AOL adverts of a while ago … is the Internet a bad thing
or is it a good thing:
In fact, like many things in life, the Internet is what people make of it.
As a Trannie it has made a big difference to me. Helping me discover that I'm not alone in the world. That I'm not so weird or perverted as some people would say that I am. Provided a way of contacting other people. Helped me realise and believe that it's OK to be who I am and be the way that I am.
I know … some people would say that even in this the Internet is a bad thing … helping the perverted and the abominable to become acceptable.
During my lunchtime walk I thought some about … well virtuality I guess. For a moment I thought I might have invented a word there … but Google knows better … it's a movie and a television series. There are about 772,000 relevant web pages. No sponsored links though … so that's something at least.
It's possible to live a big chunk of life in a virtual kind of world. Internet chat rooms … Facebook … blogs … computer games.
In a way it's not so different from books and television … but the added attraction of interaction with other things and with people is kinda compelling for many people.
Thoughts of The Matrix crossed my mind:
I mean … philosophically speaking … it's not easy to actually prove that we are all any more than a dream that God is having. Which reminds me of a movie called Dark Star and of Phenomenology.
Some people seem to be very much into reality … and anti virtuality.
My own feelings are that … well … it depends.
The phrase "it depends" is one of my favourites … and the word "mañana".
There's a sense in which the ability to inhabit a virtual world is one of those things that makes it special to be human.
There are things that people can do in a virtual world that would be impossible for them to do in the real world.
There are maybe some things that are better kept virtual … the reality being a real disappointment compared with the fantasy.
With other things the reality far exceeds the fantasy. For myself, for example, the first view I had of ""Andrea" at Fiona Floyds (http://andrea-wright.blogspot.com/2007/05/new-arrival.html) blew me away.
There are maybe different shades to reality.
For many transvestites that I know … myself included … the dressing thing began as a secret in-private thing that only happened in a virtual kind-of world. For some that's where it remains.
For others it moves on. For me … the first makeover … Sally seeing me … the first step out onto a street … a visit to a pub … the first time out to a venue where I didn't know anyone … telling Sarah and Katie about Andrea … the first Pink Punters … shopping and eating in Windsor.
All have been steps in moving from fantasy towards reality. And It's mattered a lot to me because Andrea is part of who I am … my reality.
But it's different for different people.
In the end I think the right mix between virtuality and reality is different. Everyone experiences both. For some the fantasy is sufficient … for others it's not. It depends on the people … and depends on the fantasy.

It's Not Effeminate To Look After Your Skin
April 19, 2009 by admin
Filed under Skin Care Tips
There is so much information flying back and forwards in this day and age about what a man should be. Should you be a metrosexual, spending as long in the bathroom getting ready to go out as the most fastidious of ladies? Should you be rugged, caring not one iota about such things as crow's feet, laughter lines and body odour? Should you be some kind of mix, proving your macho credentials while at the same time displaying a certain appreciation for the things that make you handsome and desirable? One sure bet is that whatever you do, you will attract some flak from someone, so you are better off pleasing yourself in the end.
This does not mean just allowing your appearance to do as it wishes, of course. But there is a way of following a male skin care regime that does not make you a perfumed dandy who wishes he had been born female – if that's what you are scared of. You can show some appreciation for the looks you have been blessed with and not come across as vain. It's a matter of measure and balance, and if you get it right you will reap the rewards in the form of compliments and more. And the first thing to pay attention to is your shaving routine. It's not just about splashing on a bunch of cologne after you're done, and holding in an anguished yell of pain, anymore.
Firstly, you should prepare your skin before shaving. There are several good pre-shave treatments out there, and their benefit is something you will appreciate if you have been shaving for a while. They allow the razor to slide over the skin with a lot less friction than if you just daub on the shaving foam – or gel – and have at it with the razor. As a consequence, you take hair off your face without removing a few layers of skin while you are about it. Then when that is done, apply a good after shave balm. This will cool the skin where there has been friction, and replenish the moisture that has been taken away. And after all that? Then you can splash on the cologne – but remember that even the strongest men scream in pain sometimes.Cure Acne Naturally And Permanently Using The Only Clinically Proven And Unique Step By Step Holistic Acne System Acne No More - Click Here!

Dozens of China-based insurers under investigation by sector regulator as securities watchdog's crackdown draws first blood
16 May 2017. By Toh Han Shih.
China's insurance regulator is set to launch a comprehensive crackdown on misconduct in the sector, kicking off investigations of 46 insurers alongside probes of more than half a dozen banks and agents. Meanwhile, the China Securities Regulatory Commission has announced the first penalties in its first special enforcement campaign of 2017, imposing fines and other sanctions on two listed companies.
The China Insurance Regulatory Commission's so-called "sword-flashing campaign" begins this month. It follows the dismissal of chairman Xiang Junbo over suspected corruption in April, as MLex reported earlier, and a meeting on April 27 at which the CIRC vowed to clean up Xiang's "malignant" legacy.
The CIRC will investigate 26 life insurance firms and 20 property insurance firms, it announced on its website today. It has also widened the scope of its investigative activities to the banking sector with probes of seven banks and agents, bringing the number of companies involved in investigations within and outside China's insurance sector to a total of 53. The regulator's campaign will target insurance firms that mislead consumers and disseminate false information, the CIRC said.
The preparatory stage of the campaign will begin this month, with the implementation stage following from June to October. CIRC investigators will report their findings by Oct. 31, and punishments will be decided by the end of November.
Last December, MLex quoted Steve Vickers, chief executive of Hong Kong risk consultancy Steve Vickers and Associates, predicting that the Chinese government could crack down on life insurance products.
When offences that hurt consumers' interests are discovered, punishment must be strictly administered according to the CIRC's guidelines, the regulator said. "Repeat offenders that refuse to change their ways must be given especially severe penalties," it said.
Not only will those found directly responsible for wrongdoing be punished, but insurance companies and their senior management personnel may also be liable, the CIRC warned. The regulator said it would publicize cases from its campaign to shock insurance companies into toeing the line. The CIRC will also tighten supervision of new business models in the insurance sector and insurance businesses that have overlaps.
Separately, China's securities watchdog recently announced the first set of penalties arising from its first special enforcement campaign of the year, which began on March 24 with nine cases. One penalty was imposed on Shenzhen-listed Jiangsu Zhonglian Electric, which the CSRC alleged had fabricated an overseas project and faked international and domestic trade. Zhonglian Electric's fraud had inflated its revenues by 580 million yuan ($84 million) and profits by 260 million yuan, the watchdog alleged.
The CSRC fined Zhonglian Electric 600,000 yuan and banned some of its executives from Chinese securities markets for three years, some for five years, and some permanently. It also fined some executives, the company disclosed in an announcement on the website of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on May 13.
In an announcement on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's website today, Zhonglian Electric said it intended to contest the CSRC's allegations in court. The company also disclosed that it had received queries from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange regarding a project in Pakistan.
Shandong Molong Petroleum Machinery, a company listed in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, was also punished by the CSRC, which alleged that the firm had claimed profits in 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016, when it should have reported losses. Molong's chairman and controlling shareholder, Zhang En Rong, and his son, Molong General Manager Zhang Yun San, sold their shares in the company for 277.5 million yuan and 82.3 million yuan, respectively, during periods when sensitive information was circulating among company insiders, avoiding losses of 20.3 million yuan and 17.9 million yuan, respectively, the CSRC said. The regulator said it had fined Molong 600,000 yuan.
The CSRC fined Zhang En Rong 61.27 million yuan and confiscated 20.32 million yuan from him, Molong said in an announcement posted on the website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange yesterday. In the same announcement, the firm said the regulator had fined Zhang Yun San 53.79 million yuan and confiscated 17.93 million yuan from him. The CSRC also fined other Molong executives, the company said, adding that it and its executives had the right to defend themselves against the CSRC's allegations.

Melvin Gordon stated an emotional case Thursday for why the last-place Chargers should let him play Sunday against the Chiefs in the season finale.
"It's just about not quitting, bro," he said.
He added: "And we've been bad. And I want to finish, man. That's all this is."
Then the running back mentioned his state of mind Saturday while watching the team lose to the Browns, 20-17. His replacement, Kenneth Farrow, rushed for 24 yards on the opening touchdown drive but then tried to perform through a shoulder injury that ended his season this week.
"I'm sitting there watching the Cleveland game, and I was just disgusted with just not being able to go out there and help. And I hate being on the sideline feeling helpless," Gordon said. "There's nothing worse than that feeling.
"So," he said, "if I can go out there, and I can just help try to contribute, I've got to at least try. I've got to try at least."
Gordon practiced Thursday as a limited participant for the second time since he was carted from the Dec. 11 game at Carolina with knee and hip injuries
He wore a full knee brace in both practices.
"To be truthfully honest, I'm not going to be completely healthy," he said of Sunday's game. "I'm not Superman or anything like that."
But, he said he feels a "lot better" than when the week began.
And then, he resumed his case.
"I'm gonna be fine. Because I feel like I can go out there and contribute," he said.
"If I felt like I would go out there and I was gonna get hurt, then I wouldn't go out there. I know my body better than anybody around here. So," he said, "I know if I can't go. It's a difference between being injured and hurt.
"So, in my mind, if I can go out there and I can help make plays, I'm gonna play. If I go out there and I feel like I can't do what I need to do and I'm hurting the team, then I'm out."
A stubborn competitiveness played a role in Gordon becoming a Heisman runner-up in 2014, going 15th in the 2015 NFL Draft and rushing for 997 yards and 10 touchdowns this year in 13 games.
"It's just a warrior mindset," he said. "If you can go, you can go. That's how I've been wired since I got to college."
Gordon said Chargers coach Mike McCoy told him he will make a decision that's in Gordon's best interest.
Gordon acknowledged that if he were to play and get hurt, his Chargers bosses would draw heavy criticism for exposing him to injury in a game that will have no bearing on the team's playoff chances, which are nil.
"I think (McCoy) kind of understands that too," Gordon said. "That's why they're kind of hesitant on everything right now. But, if I'm stressing I can go, man – let me go."
Flowers balancing act
Cornerback Brandon Flowers spoke Thursday of the balancing act he's facing, between his love for football and his health in the wake of the two concussions he sustained this year that sidelined him for 10 games, including the final six.
"I love the game of football, so I would want play football until I'm 90 years old," he said.
But the cornerback also restated his desire to have his mental faculties late in life for his daughter and her mother.
The concussions were the third and fourth of his three-year Chargers tenure.
"Health is the main thing over anything," Flowers said. "As long as you can be healthy and do what you love to do, that's a blessing."
Flowers said his focus now is not career-related; rather, he's solely trained on cheering the Chargers in the season final.
Flowers, 30, has two years left on a four-year, $36.40-million contract.
Happy development
Chargers intern J'Ron Erby, a victim of a hit-and-run accident in Aug. that left him in critical condition, was a visitor to practice Thursday.
The entire group of defensive backs and secondary coach Ron Milus trotted over to Erby and congratulated him.
Erby said he's 80 percent recovered from injuries and should be 100 percent within a year.
Hit on Aug. 5, he was in a coma for 18 days.
- Center Matt Slauson (foot) was a limited participant in his first football activity since exiting the 20-17 loss Saturday.
- Guard Orlando Franklin (shoulder) and King Dunlap (knee) have missed all three practices this week.
- Linebacker Denzel Perryman (knee) hasn't practiced this week.
- On Twitter, Chargers receiver Keenan Allen took a shot at Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters, writing of him: I know who happy I'm not playing this week! Haha #bum
- Allen got the better of Peters in the season opener before departing the game with a torn knee ligament sustained when he made a cut against cornerback Steven Nelson. Quarterback Philip Rivers, who got into a verbal exchange with Peters during the game that caused teammate Orlando Frankling to intervene, facemask to facemask with Peters, said after the game that the Chiefs were incapable of guarding Allen in that game. Allen, who had reconstructive knee surgery, ran on a practice field Thursday. He has said he expects to be ready for spring camp.
