When Brad Wall rode off into the sunset from Saskatchewan politics in early 2018, ironically to take on an advising role with a Calgary law-firm, I was looking forward to not having to respond to his smooth rhetoric cautioning against meaningful climate action anymore.

Getting resources to market at any cost
This week Canada's Liberal government made its priorities clear beyond doubt.

Although the Liberals will contort themselves in an attempt … Continue reading Getting resources to market at any cost
Better regulation needed as we transition away from fossil fuels
As news broke of a major oil spill from a Husky Energy pipeline into the North Saskatchewan River last week, Brad Wall's first reported public comment was that he hoped the spill wouldn't make it more difficult to get new oil infrastructure built.

Astronaut must exercise about 2 hours every day. They do cycling, running, and RED ( Resistance exercise device ).
Why do they exercise long time despite of busy life? Because their bones and muscles will be smaller and weaker when they don`t exercise. Muscles can be cured. However, bones can't fix again. One of the best marathoner or astronaut Timothy peak ran on the running matching in space station because he can't participate marathon contest in London. He has a mission in the space station.

Like so many other styles in this collection, the Sam Edelman Lulu bootie has a unique look, created to be like nothing else available for women, while still fitting into current fashion trends.
It is available in a couple of different looks, one with Black and Almond combined, the other solid black. It is a sleek looking just-above-the-ankle style, with an adjustable buckled strap around the ankle, a bit of a platform and quite a high heel for the ultimate ankle boot look. It has a retail price of around $200.
This ankle boot really is one of a kind, and while many ladies may alreaedy have their hearts set on this particular style there are some others with similarities that you might also want to see.
Sam Edelman Loni Bootie
The Loni from Sam Edelman actually has quite a similar appearance to the Lulu in its overall cut and style, yet it has a smoother look to it and there is no option for contrasting colors. It is available in high quality suede and as the Lulu, there is a buckle around the back of the ankle. This is also a gorgeous style, available in 3 earthy colors with a retail price of around $170.
Lucky Brand Laureen Bootie
This bootie from Lucky is a similar style, with a smooth single color leather construction. Even though the general cut and look of this ankle boot is similar to the Lulu, it has a bit more of a western twist to it, also having a buckled strap detail wrapping entirely around the ankle. It comes in Iron, Black and Tobacco and has a retail price of around $140.
Nine West Mavenue Bootie
This bootie from Nine West has quite a sleek appearance. Constructed from sleek leather for the upper, size zipper closure and a bit of a platform, like the Lulu. The one thing that stands this boot apart from others is a shiny strip detail below the foot and just above the heel of the boot. Indeed, this is also a very stylish choice in a short ankle boot style. It comes in Brown and Black and has a retail price of around $150.
Whether you decide on the Sam Edelman Lulu bootie or another one of the ankle boot styles listed here, chances are that you will love your purchase – these are some gorgeous, go-to styles that I believe women will be loving for years to come.

The exhibition is to be held under the auspices of Kuwaiti Ministry of Defense. The Russian official delegation is headed by Deputy Director of Russian Federal Military and Technical Cooperation Service Alexey Frolkin. The Rosoboronexport is headed by Deputy General Director Sergey Goreslavskiy.
'This year marks 40 years since the beginning of military and technical cooperation between Russia and Kuwait. Over the last years the special exporter and its predecessors have delivered many weapons primarily for Kuwaiti ground forces. These weapons were repeatedly highly appreciated by the nation's military. By taking part in Gulf Defense & Aerospace 2017 Rosoboronexport shows its great interest in further development of military and technical bilateral relations between our countries,' said Sergey Goreslavskiy.

Tanks T-90S and T-90MS, armored personnel carrier BTR-82A as well as anti-tank missile system Kornet-EM are considered as the most promising for Kuwaiti ground forces.
Among the Rosoboronexport-presented aircraft the special attention is paid to multi-purpose super-maneuverable fighter Su-35, multi-functional tactical fighter MiG-29M/M2 and operational trainer Yak-130. The foreign customers are as much interested in combat helicopters Ka-52 and Mi-28NE, transport Mi-35M as well as transport Mi-171Sh.
The Rosoboronexort's near-eastern partners are traditionally interested in Russian air defense systems like AD missile and gun Pantzir-S1, AD missile systems Tor-M2KM and Buk-M2E, man-portable Igla-S and certainly Russian bestseller AD missile system S-400 which is also to be shown at the exhibition in Al Kuwait.

Army and special force units are very interested in fire arms and close combat weapons such as AK assault rifles 100, automatic grenade launcher AGS-17 and anti-tank grenade launcher RPG-27.
In Kuwait Rosoboronexport is also to show an integrated product Russian-made Security Systems which involves the whole range of decisions to administer law, fight terrorism, provide infrastructural, state and cybersecurity.
'The issue of fighting terrorism is very important both in the Near East and the rest of the world. The special attention is paid to all-level security in this regard. We are ready to support the fight against one of the most challenging problems in 21st century and offer our new integrated product being very popular in the world which has proven itself during large-scale operations in Russia,' said Sergey Goreslavskiy.

Yesterday, our Dublin office played host to a group of 24 students from Loyola University Maryland as part of their alternative spring break Tech Trek tour. The Tech Trek program is intended to "expose students to the challenges of establishing a successful and globally competitive" technology company, and Tenable is honored to participate.
The event began with a presentation given by our Security Engineer David Bradley covering a high level overview of the company to include topics such as Cyber Exposure, predictive prioritization, our products, core values, and an organization overview. Following the presentation, students were served lunch during which a panel of Tenable employees from Sales, Data Science, Engineering, Research, Customer Success, Recruiting, and Support were available for networking and informal question/answer sessions.
The program, by all accounts, was a complete success. So much so, that we are now looking at implementing this type of "student info day" as a piece of the University Recruiting Program more broadly and bringing students from other local universities and colleges around our HQ locations into the fold. Several students approached our team expressing interest in both full time roles and internships, so expect to see some Loyola Greyhounds around the office in the coming years.
We will be having interns for our second summer in a row this year. Check out more about our global intern program HERE! You could be enjoying this view of the Liffey soon!

Diddy Lost $1 Million To Rick Ross In Dice Game
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop News) Diddy once famously rapped, "Don't worry if I write rhymes, I write checks." It appears the head of Bad Boy Entertainment will be writing a pretty substantial check to Rick Ross in the days to come. Diddy posted a video on Instagram of him giving the MMG boss an I.O.U. note for $1 million.
Ross apparently won the cool million in a high-stakes game of Craps. Diddy, reportedly worth over $550 million, did not seem to phased by the loss. He added the caption, "I just lost a million dollars. It ain't nothin. #SuckMyD*ckB*tch."
Both Diddy and Ross have projects coming on the horizon. Ross and MMG are releasing their Self Made 3 compilation album on September 17th. Diddy is preparing for the launch of his new network Revolt which is scheduled to premiere in New York and Los Angeles on October 21st and nationwide in 2014.

Using this weapon with the Power Gear enhances this attack, giving Mega Man a longer dash and generating greater explosions.
Just like the other Special Weapons in Mega Man 11, Pile Driver alters Mega Man's physical appearance when equipped, rather than simply swapping his colors. In this case, it gives him a new helmet that closely resembles Impact Man's (minus the head spike), and replaces his left hand with a jackhammer with which he uses to perform the air dash attack. It also colors Mega Man's body to be orange on one side and yellow on the other side, much like Impact Man himself.
- This weapon's long air dash attack when the Power Gear is activated is similar to the Speed Burner's charge attack from Mega Man X2 and Mega Man Xtreme.
- The Pile Driver was mentioned earlier on a Game Informer post about Mega Man 11, posted in 2017, though its name wasn't revealed at the time.[1]

The Process of Building a New Pool

How to Customize Your Swimming Pool

From a small store in the Southside of Glasgow, Tarak Ramzan has built Quiz Clothing to an international multichannel chain.
There is nothing like walking into a retailer's warehouse to get a sense of the size and scale of the business. For Scottish fast fashion womenswear retailer Quiz Clothing, its 200,000 sq ft distribution centre on the outskirts of Glasgow is a point of pride. The result of a £3m investment, the cavernous facility can hold up to 600,000 hanging garments – it has the capacity to increase this to 2 million – and service 1,000 stores and concessions.
The space was needed. Steered by its founder and managing director, Tarak Ramzan, Quiz has been quietly stepping up its retail footprint in the UK and Ireland. It opened 40 stores and concessions in 2016, bringing its total worldwide to more than 300. A further six stores will open during the first quarter of 2017. Meanwhile, it is expanding internationally and the online business is booming.
In the first year 20 staff had been fired or left. The last one punched me on the way out
Born in the Southside area of the city, the softly spoken, self-made Ramzan is not one to crow about his successes. As a result, Quiz is one of fashion retailing's best kept secrets: sales rose 11.8% to £87.4m for the year to 31 March 2016, while its pre-tax profit grew by 17% to £5.7m – and it is on track for turnover to top £100m this year.
Making changes
Ramzan began his career as a manufacturer. His father moved to Scotland from Pakistan in 1947 and set up a small business making duffle coats and tartan pinafores. When he decided to move back to Pakistan, Ramzan – who had "always wanted to do business" – agreed to take over. At the tender age of 18, he inherited responsibility for a team of 30.
He quickly recognised a need to tighten up the operations.
Quiz warehouse 2706
"They'd been used to my father's lax way of working," he recalls. "They used to come in any time they wanted. The first thing I did was install a time clock. It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Out of the 30 people that were working there, in the first year about 20 had been fired or left. The last one punched me on the way out."
It was a steep learning curve, but over the ensuing years he began to build the business. At its peak in the late 1980s, it employed about 250 people, by this time manufacturing fashion separates. But then the market began to change.
"At that time there used to be lots of clothing factories in Scotland and there used to be lots of head offices of big retailers in Glasgow, so there was business to be had," says Ramzan. "But gradually the retailers started moving down south and manufacturing began shifting offshore."
Realising the need to evolve the business, he tried to set up a base in Pakistan. It did well initially, but changing government policy made it unsustainable. A subsequent attempt to set up in Turkey failed.
"After that I thought, 'I need to do something else'. Manufacturing was getting more and more difficult."
So he decided to try his hand at retail. With £50,000 in the bank from the manufacturing company and a £100,000 overdraft, he set up Quiz. The first store opened on Glasgow's Victoria Road in 1994, measuring around 500 sq ft. From there the business quickly grew.
We were always good retailers – we just had problems with some of the legacy leases that we had
At the start, Quiz was more of a general value fashion retailer, selling own-label jeans and knitwear – "all the things you can buy at Primark now for a tenner," says Ramzan.
Fast fashion competition
But as Primark and New Look burst on to the scene, Ramzan was faced with a dilemma: "We were up to about 25 to 30 stores and realised at that stage that we'd have to reassess the business. I sat down with the management team and thought, 'how can we compete with Primark, New Look and all these other discounters?' They had a lot more buying power than us. We decided the best way to compete was not to compete but to do something different."

Ramzan spotted a gap in the market for affordable evening and occasionwear, targeting women in their twenties and thirties: "Clothing is so competitive. Either you can become a category killer or compete on price, or you have to occupy a niche and do it better than other people. If you can do that, it gives people a reason to buy from you."
"They are very clear who their target customer is," observes Wendy Hallett, founder of womenswear concessions operator Hallett Retail. "They have an excellent focus on occasionwear – an area they do very well – and they do not get distracted by doing too many different categories.
"From what I can see, they know which shapes, colours and styles work well for them and they back them with real depth rather than doing too much width and ending up with lots of fragmentation."
Mall story
In the late 1990s, Quiz made another strategic shift: moving its stores from under-pressure high streets locations into shopping centres.
"Shopping centres are where most people go, because they're covered and it rains so much here," laughs Ramzan.
There's a huge shopping culture in the Middle East. Most forms of entertainment revolve around shopping centres
However, this came with its own risks. Shopping centre landlords held a lot of power, rents were high and leases long. Then, the 2008 credit crunch hit and Quiz began to struggle with underperforming stores. In March 2009, part of the business went into administration. Ramzan bought it back that same day in a pre-pack deal, which allowed it to exit some of its more onerous leases, and preserve jobs.
"We were always good retailers – we just had problems with some of the legacy leases that we had," he argues. "We paid all of our suppliers and brought them on board with us, and the company's been flying ever since, which is testament to our business model. A lot of pre-packs have not been successful because they were weak retailers in the first place."
Digital play
Today, Quiz has flourished into a truly multichannel retailer with a strong portfolio of concessions and international franchise stores, as well as a thriving online business. The website launched in 2005 and was profitable from its first year. Online sales represent 12% of total revenue, but there was a big spike in the run-up to Christmas – of 75% between 1 October and 31 December 2016. This is thanks to a combination of factors, including the fact it has a separate team for every channel, "so they're all very focused".
Quiz also took the decision, about 18 months ago, to invest more in its digital marketing. It launched its first celebrity collaboration, with The Only Way Is Essex star Danielle Armstrong, in October 2016, and a second with Love Island's Olivia Buckland quickly followed.
"Both of those have been very successful and that's given us the impetus to do more next year," adds Ramzan. "The marketing and product is coming together and that's why we're seeing the growth online."
If someone else can build a global brand, why can't we?
Digital is connected to its bricks-and-mortar estate through click-and-collect and in-store iPads for customers. The next phase will be to explore the use of digital screens and kiosks where customers can go online, as well as the introduction of wi-fi in stores. To accommodate these changes, Quiz is turning its attention to bigger units – up to 3,000 sq ft, compared with its previous average of 1,500 sq ft.
"Years ago customers didn't care how good your computer system was and whether you have tech in stores," says Ramzan. "They didn't care about magic mirrors and having places to take selfies. Now they want the latest technology.
International is another fast-growing side of the business. The first international franchise stores opened in Dubai and Saudi Arabia in 2008. Quiz now trades in a total of 20 markets, including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Singapore and Malaysia through a mix of concessions, franchise and online. To date, it only operates its own stores in the UK and Republic of Ireland, although that is under constant review.
"There was a strong initial reaction to the brand," says Sheraz Ramzan, the eldest of Tarak's four children, who joined Quiz in 2003 and is now business development manager. "There's a huge shopping culture in the Middle East. Most forms of entertainment revolve around shopping centres so footfall is huge and there's great demand for fashion. A brand like Quiz flourishes there because there's new product arriving all the time."
Quiz is now in talks with a department store to open concessions in the Middle East. It has also recently moved some of its business to a consignment model, whereby the UK team controls the inventory across different markets. Local US and Australian websites will launch this year, as will local language sites in some yet-to-be-confirmed non-English-speaking countries. There is potential for growth in all its existing territories and more, says Tarak.
"Just last week we sent our first consignment to South America and we've made some contacts there who've stores in Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Peru. We sent some product there a couple of months ago and there was a very good reaction. Now they want to convert some of their stores into Quiz franchises, so we're in discussions to do that. These are things I'd never have thought of when I first started retail – but I've always been of the mind that anything's possible. If someone else can build a global brand, why can't we?"
Things that de-risk fashion are your epos and point of sale systems, and your business model
Ramzan Snr clearly loves retail – "a fascinating, exciting business": "The good thing with retail is you can get a product, put it in [stores] on a Friday and by the Monday you know whether it is working or not. I enjoyed manufacturing, but I can't say there were ever days when I couldn't wait to get into work. In retail over the years, there have been many days when I couldn't wait to wake up and get back in."
Data bets
That said, manufacturing taught him some useful lessons, such as the importance of good data. Two years ago Quiz spent £1m on a new epos system, and Ramzan can easily justify the investment: "Fashion has always been a risky business. I liken it to betting on horses – you have 10 dresses in front of you, which is going to be the winner? Gradually you develop an instinct and an eye, but it is still risky. Things that de-risk fashion are your epos and point of sale systems, and your business model."
The fast fashion model certainly seems a good bet. Peers such as Missguided and Boohoo are enjoying phenomenal year-on-year growth, as they can react more quickly to changing tastes and weather patterns. At Quiz, lead times range from two to six weeks. When Drapers visits, the warehouse has just taken delivery of 13 new styles, which are due to drop into stores the next day.
"I read that Inditex can get designs into store in 25 days. I reckon we're faster," boasts Sheraz.
We still want to offer great pricing, so we've concentrated more on sourcing and making sure we keep our price architecture
Its main supply base is China, but Quiz also sources "a fair bit" of less-detailed garments from the UK, and some from eastern Europe, India and Bangladesh. Like many, Quiz is looking at where it can make savings in its supply chain to counter the post-Brexit vote drop in the value of sterling.
"We still want to offer great pricing, so we've concentrated more on sourcing and making sure we keep our price architecture," says Ramzan Snr. "There may be some things we have to put up, but overall I think we'll be able to maintain the level of prices we have now." Current retail prices range from £15 for a "going out" top to £90 for a sequinned maxi-dress.
However, he largely brushes off concerns about challenges ahead: "I can remember so many years of people saying it's going to be really tough. For me it always boils down to having the right product and getting it to the customer in the right place at the right price."
Ramzan is a capable and confident retailer, whose experience in the ailing UK manufacturing trade has taught him a valuable lesson: to keep moving, adapting and investing. With him at the helm and a growing online and international business, Quiz looks set for another strong year.

Market Commentary: More added to asset freeze list as EU discusses Russia-Ukraine violence
The earnings and economic data releases took prominence yesterday and sustained the demand for risky assets even as speculation is increasingly rife that EU will take less symbolic and more economically important measures to penalize Russia's involvement in supporting the Ukrainian rebels.
As discussions of the European leaders on this matter continue, the media reported yesterday that 15 individuals and 18 entities will be added to the asset freeze list, while Reuters disclosed that the state-owned Russian banks might be directly targeted by the next round of penalties; the latter would include Sberbank, Russian Agricultural Bank, VEB or VTB.
Meanwhile, the US State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf accused Russia of not just indirect involvement in the conflict but also of firing across the border.
What is more, the same official said that there is "new evidence that the Russians intend to deliver heavier and more powerful multiple-rocket launchers to the separatist forces in Ukraine." On a more positive note, Russia reportedly will cooperate with the investigators of the Malaysian airplane tragedy.
In Ukraine the conflict-related worries are now increasingly aggravated by economic concerns as Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk resigned. The decision comes after the he lost the support required for implementing the austerity measures imposed by IMF in relation to the USD17 billion loan.
On another note, the IMF revised its growth projection again citing weakening macro conditions in China and US and a thriving risk of an uptick in oil prices; the institution also pointed out that the Israel-Gaza conflict is already generating fiscal and economic costs.
According to the latest forecasts, the global economy is expected to advance by 3.4% in 2014 and 4% next year; in April, IMF was foreseeing growth of 3.6% and 3.9% respectively. The cut in emerging markets' forecast was also meaningful as growth here is now expected to stand at 4.6%, 0.3 percentage points lower than previously assessed.
Away from the geopolitical concerns, the quarterly results attracted much of the investors' interests. In US, General Motors reported a drop in Q2 profit although excluding the effect of a charge for victims' compensation fund and other one-time effects the earnings were only marginally below expectations.
Disappointing were also Caterpillar's warning against weak demand, the homebuilder DR Horton's earnings and Amazon's losses. Facebook meanwhile rose to a record high after posting a 61% increase in sales. Similarly, Ford, VISA and Starbucks performed well given the positive surprises in their quarterly earnings.
In Europe, Nokia, Logitech and Danske were among those delivering more than analysts were expecting, while BASF and Technip lost ground; EasyJet also underperformed after warning against London fares trends. In the emerging market space, of note is the performance of Vale after the mining company reported record iron ore production in Q2.
The economic releases were mixed. In Europe, the Services PMI came out above expectation but the French figures let down while in the US housing data was weaker than expected; June new home sales disappointed and the May figures were revised significantly lower.
However, the unemployment claims data surprised positively for another week and the figure fell to the lowest in over eight years. As such, the US Treasury (UST) rates edged marginally up despite the geopolitical climate conducive to UST demand.
The Asian equities had a weaker trading session taking a respite after MSCI Asia Pacific Index recently reached the highest level since 2008.
Today's economic calendar includes EU monetary aggregates and private loans growth, which will likely show yet again that the European banks continue to deleverage and that the deflationary risks are a bigger worry than inflation; the release of the German confidence indices will help to further assess this risks going forward.
In UK in turn the market is expecting today the preliminary growth figure for Q2 to stand at 0.8% (QoQ). Finally, US is due to publish the data for durable goods orders.

By Chip Chandler — Digital Content Producer
Though he didn't win, Josh Halverson figures he came out ahead with his time on The Voice — thanks, in part, to his roots in West Texas.
"I gained a lot of knowledge of how to do this work, especially on that kind of (level)," Halverson said in a recent phone interview. "I was just thankful for the background I already had for singing and music.
"It helps that I was really rooted in who I am as an individual," he continued. "Heaven forbid you go on a reality TV show and now know who you really are and you are willing to do whatever they say."
Now, Halverson — who was eliminated during the first week of live performances in November on the NBC show — is back to his indie roots with his self-released album Year of the Thunderbird. He'll perform in Amarillo for the first time in several years at 10 p.m. Friday, opening for fellow Texas-based Americana act Shane Smith & The Saints at Hoots Pub, 2424 Hobbs Road. Also performing is husband-and-wife Southern soul duo The Gibbonses. Cover is $10 in advance or $15 day of show.
Halverson, 32, was born on a Native American reservation in Minnesota to a Sioux mother and a Texas rancher father and moved to the Texas Panhandle with his parents when he was a kid; the family originally settled in Gruver, then moved to the Plainview area before time in the Lubbock and Seminole areas. He attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where he caught an Al Green concert that inspired him to return to his childhood love of music.
"I started playing the piano when I was 5," Halverson said. "I was really intrigued by the piano, even at a young age, and my mom kind of convinced my dad to get us an older but really nice piano.
"I played up until I couldn't resist playing outside every day, when I was around 13 or 14," he said. "I went on to college and went to some concerts, trying to discover myself and see what it was I wanted to do. ... I went to this Al Green concert and saw how he put his all into the show. ... It was amazing, man. I just saw how music was such a release for him, how it knocked down all the walls and barriers that the world had built up.
"That's what got me to go back to piano."
Halverson moved to Los Angeles, thinking that's where he needed to be to kick off a music career. Within six months, he was playing at the fabled Troubadour and soon after released his first album.
"I was in my early 20s, playing in bars every night, and it was hard not to get consumed by that world and that lifestyle," he said.
So he headed back to Texas, soon meeting the woman who would become his wife, Rexana, at the Fort Worth Stock Show while watching his younger brother, a rodeo cowboy, compete.
"She kind of got me out of that rabbit hole and really focused my energy on songwriting and telling a story, continuing to break down those walls like Al Green or any of those great songwriters from the '60s and '70s," Halverson said. "She showed me the power of love and how love can bring you back."
That's Halverson's mission, he said — "to show the world that loves needs to be the priority and counterbalance all the hate that is happening now."
That frame of mind helped him get along famously with Voice judge Miley Cyrus, who stole him in the Battle Rounds from Alicia Keys, then lost him again to Keys in the Knockout Rounds.
"She's (Cyrus) my favorite, my favorite out of everyone," Halverson said. "She just kind of made me feel comfortable, made me feel like I was back at home (in West Texas). She pretty much did what she wanted til they told her not to do it again.
"She really is a good person, and she showed her heart when she spoke."
Now, the Denton-based Halverson is focusing his efforts on getting his music out independently and building a solid fan base by touring regionally. He said he's especially excited to come back to Amarillo, where he played a few times in the early 2000s and visited more frequently as a kid.
"I've always had a great appreciation for Amarillo," he said. "I felt connected with the land in Palo Duro Canyon. I remember going to the (American) Quarter Horse Museum when I was a kid. ... My dream is to play the Golden Light. I saw some great shows there."
Amarillo fans will hear new tunes from his January release, Year of the Thunderbird, which takes its name — and more — from Halverson's young son, Thunderbird.
"It's a testament to the first year of my son's life," he said. "I feel like later on down the road I can say, 'Here you go, son. Here's an album for you, and I did it all by myself.'
"I had some help from The Voice and the platform it put me on, but the art and the artistic value — it's all me."

About a year ago I started on a project to make a temperature controlled nightlight. I was inspired by seeing these lovely LED lamps styled as mushrooms growing out of pieces of wood. Those mushrooms were made out of glass, which was somewhat beyond my skills. However I then saw some had used translucent sculpey to make mushroom nightlights on instructables. So with that discovery it seemed like it would be rather simple to do…
The first job was to solder up a three colour (RGB) LED (a super bright one from oomlout):
I then covered the LED in translucent Fimo:

Friends don't let friends miss out on all the cool, under-the-radar things they know about, like where to buy ultra-fashionable clothes at decidedly non-runway prices or which little-known beauty brand is low-key making the best highlighter around. And because we consider our readers to be like friends, we decided to gather together all our best tips in a new series: Don't Sleep on This. Check in every week to see what things we can't wait to share with you.
This summer when I was in Hudson, New York, I ended up in the very popular Rivertown Tavern for dinner. And while the seasonal, then-Mexican-inspired menu (inspiration rotates monthly) was mention-worthy, it was the cocktail I drank that stuck with me after the night ended. A concoction of gin, tonic, and strawberry-rhubarb shrub, it was equal parts tart and sweet, fruity and refreshing, the perfect drink for summer. After buying the shrub that I assumed the cocktail was made from—The Hudson Standard in strawberry-rhubarb—in a home store next-door to the restaurant, and recreating the drink many times at home since then, I can confirm: It's the best drink I had all summer—and the shrub has everything to do with it.
Made using fruit, vinegar, and a sweetener, shrubs are delicious cocktail mixers, providing that perfect balance of fruitiness and acidity. (They also make for great mocktails; I have taken to adding shrubs to seltzer for a weeknight drink.) "The idea behind a cocktail is to hit many tasting notes on the tongue—sweet, sour, umami, and bitter—and shrubs are an easy way to add the first three. They provide sweetness, tartness, and bright fruit flavor," says Emily Woerthman, "head shrub dealer" at The Hudson Standard, explaining why shrub cocktails make for such good cocktails. "Just add bitters to the cocktail, and you've hit all four." Bonus: Shrubs don't go bad as fast as, say, a lemon or lime that you would typically use for an at-home drink. According to Woerthman, "Because of the preserving quality of vinegar, shrubs have a very long shelf life. They easily outlast fresh-squeezed citrus which oxidizes quickly," making them a maintenance-free choice for at-home bartenders who may not always have more than a dried half of a week-old lime. (Or, is that just me?)
Shrubs are not a new product by any means. With more people taking apple cider vinegar shots in the morning, as a means of improving digestion, drinking vinegars have steadily risen in popularity in the last few years. "Many cultures drink acids before or with meals, and herbal tinctures or liqueurs after meals, as a way to improve digestion. My experience is mostly from living in Italy, where this practice is routine and where talking about digestion is more common," Don Morton, founder of Shrub District, says. "Cocktails are a great way to prime the digestive tract, as acids help break down food and provide a nice balance to cut fats and heavier foods."
He likens the popularity of shrubs to the general rise in interest in fermented foods. "American consumers are becoming more familiar with the fermented flavors of things like vinegar, yogurt, olives, kombucha, kefir, lacto-fermented pickles, kraut, and kimchi. Shrubs provide a way to bring these fermented flavors into the bar space." In addition to being digestion aids, shrubs, made from natural ingredients and real fruit, are also generally healthier than average mixers, many of which contain artificial coloring and flavors, additives, and high-fructose corn syrup.
Plus, taste-wise, shrubs offer more diversity in a space that's been reliant on citrus for too long. "Bartenders have a wide range of spirits and sweeteners—in the form of liqueurs or syrups—but the choice of acids has been mostly lime and lemon. Shrubs give us a great way to increase the complexity of cocktails by expanding the palate of acids," says Morton.
Ready to try? To make a simple cocktail, mix one part shrub with two parts liquor of choice and three parts sparkling water or premium tonic (like Fever-Tree), and top with ice. When deciding which flavors to pair with which spirit, keep the top notes or main fruit profile in mind. For instance, something spice-infused (think: turmeric, cinnamon, or allspice) works better with warmer liquors like a bourbon, rum, or rye; fruity or berry flavors work best with clear spirits; citrus and herbal flavors go with most spirits. Though, as Woerthman points out, "Shrubs are a 'choose-your-own-adventure.' They are versatile and allow people to experiment with uniquely delicious products that help them create better-for-you beverages." Cheers to that!
Below, check out some shrub cocktail recipes.
