Pendleton 20 year directors reserve9/6/2023 Crown Royal Noble Collection Rye Aged 16 Years Now, Canadians are making whisky worth seeking out even with the abundance of options Stateside.Ĭanadian whisky has come a long way since Prohibition, and its future looks richer than ever with new small-batch releases and unique expressions from established makers. A century ago, Americans looked north because that was the only booze they could get. These include peated ryes, whisky produced in a variety of cask types and single malts made from malted grains beyond barley. The past decade has seen an explosion of Canadian craft distilleries, with more than 250 currently in operation. “We’re 10 to 20 years behind the States in the craft distilling movement, but we have truly wonderful whiskies,” de Kergommeaux says, pointing to the founding of Forty Creek Whisky in Ontario almost 30 years ago as a turning point for the category. “ had deliberately been maturing more whisky than they could sell during Prohibition in anticipation of it ending.” “Seagram’s bought and filled those bottles with Canadian whisky because it was mature and tasted better,” he says. According to de Kergommeaux, some American companies were actually filling bottles with Canadian whisky, like the Calvert distillery in Maryland. Partly because the Canadians had the advantage of aging longer than their US counterparts who were rebuilding their stocks from scratch. So much so, that in 1935, the US Treasury secretary sought $60 million in back excise taxes (the equivalent of $1.2 billion today) from Canadian distillers for spirits that illegally traveled south during Prohibition.įollowing that era, Canadian amber continued to hold sway even as American distilleries reopened. Canada also had a deep stock of whisky made in the style of American bourbon and rye crossing the border. 1 smuggled whisky in the US” during the Noble Experiment. A drop or two of water may be added, to bring out more complex flavors.Hiram Walker’s Canadian Club and Seagram’s VO thrived as some of the most popular brands during Prohibition, with Canadian Club’s own official history now claiming it to be the “No. At room temperature, the warm undertones come to the forefront, and when slightly chilled, crisp, yet ripe fruits surface.

Does bestbuy sell steam gift cards9/6/2023 In the first nine months of 2021, people who reported losing money buying gift cards mentioned Target stores more than other retailers. Scammers also tell people where to buy the gift cards. Google Play gift cards were next, followed by Apple, eBay, and Walmart cards. In the first nine months of 2021, over twice as much money was reported lost on Target gift cards than any other brand. Whatever the story, reports show that scammers don’t settle for just any card – they tell people the specific gift card brands to buy. Reports also show that scammers asking for gift cards pretend to be a love interest, employer, sweepstakes or lottery company, or family member in trouble. They’re told to buy gift cards to avoid arrest or to secure access to their money. Other people report that a scammer claiming to be the Social Security Administration said their bank accounts would be frozen as part of an investigation. Sometimes they call those numbers “security codes.” But the only thing the numbers are good for is taking the money on the card. 5 Many people report that a scammer posing as Amazon or Apple told them to send pictures of the numbers on gift cards to fix a supposed security problem with their account. Scammers can get quick cash, the transaction is largely irreversible, and they can remain anonymous.Īccording to reports received by the FTC, scams demanding gift cards most often start with a phone call from someone impersonating a well-known business or government authority. Scammers favor gift cards because they are easy for people to find and buy, and they have fewer protections for buyers compared to some other payment options. And because the vast majority of frauds are not reported to the government, this reflects only a fraction of the harm these scams cause. 3 In the first nine months of 2021 alone, nearly 40,000 people reported $148 million stolen using gift cards. 1 Gift cards are far more frequently reported than any other payment method for fraud, 2 and the numbers have reached staggering new highs compared to past years. About one in four people who report losing money to fraud say it happened when a scammer tricked them into giving the numbers on the back of a gift card. Reports to the FTC’s Consumer Sentinel show they’re also an easy way to take.

Underwater shelf9/6/2023 Scientists on this expedition will meet again in autumn in Barcelona to work on a synthesis of various results combining the different aspects of ecosystem components. "Our measurements of environmental parameters of the sediment and the water column will contribute to answer the question, why there are such similarities between habitat use of the deep-sea and below the former ice shelf." The oceanographer Enrique Isla is excited about further processing the collected data back in the Marine Sciences Institute (ICM) in Barcelona. Myriads of single-celled algae that sink down to the seafloor are literally grazed by herds of sea cucumbers. This species, its bigger "sister" Scotoplanes globosa and other relatives according to their feeding mode are referred to as grazers. Maybe this is the reason why this animal is aptly named glacialis (icy) especially with regard to our confirmatory findings on the opposite pole – Antarctica. The sea cucumber Elpidia is probably the most prominent deep-sea animal but is also known to occur in shallow Arctic waters. Preliminary results show that a unique macrofauna exists in conjunction with the ice shelf. This second encounter brought back chief scientist Julian Gutt's memories of his first trip to Antarctica and his PhD thesis 21 years ago. "During my nine expeditions to Antarctica, the only time I have seen the two most abundant species of sea cucumbers was below the far bigger Filchner-Ronne ice shelf further south." But locally in the Larsen B region, they occurred rather frequently at depths of merely 200m. Until now, stalked feather stars have only been found sporadically and then only below 800m water depths in this sector of Antarctica. These deep-sea inhabitants belong to a group called echinoderms. Here, sea cucumbers and stalked feather stars are the main representatives. Instead, underwater video footage and catches of towed sampling gear revealed the dominance of typical deep-sea animals and corresponding life forms. This is surprising since Antarctica's seafloor communities are known for their rich assemblages of sessile sponges, cnidarians and moss animals. Obviously, prosperous life did not exist in the area where the Larsen B ice shelf broke off three years ago. This "white spot" with regard to biodiversity research gave rise to the following questions: What kind of life actually existed under the former floating ice shelf which was up to several hundreds of meters thick? What are the prospects for the future after the collapse of the ice shelf? The main aim of the current Polarstern expedition to Antarctica is the investigation of marine ecosystems under the former Larsen ice shelf.

Lollipop chainsaw cosplay9/6/2023 There's also no confirmation about what platforms the Lollipop Chainsaw Remake will release on just yet, but with talk of new graphics and introducing the cult classic to those unacquainted with Juliet's chainsaw, we're feeling optimistic for a PC release. He also shared that game’s original licensed soundtrack will be completely replaced with new music ("aside from a few licensed tracks"), which is a bit of a shame as the original had a handful of absolute certified bangers in there.ĭragami Games has also tweeted that development of the game "will be handled by a combination of development staff from the original version, including Yasuda, and development staff from Dragami Games," but there's been no mention of whether that includes Suda so far.

We didn’t have the, uhh, pleasure of playing Lollipop Chainsaw back in 2012 since it never released for PC, but there’s a good chance that this remake will also serve as a long-awaited PC port.

Lollipop Chainsaw is the un-deadly story of sweet and killer zombie hunter Juliet Starling and her quest to uncover the root of a colossal zombie outbreak. Yoshimi Yasuda, former CEO of Kadokawa Games (the original publishers of Lollipop Chainsaw) vaguely teased the game's return last month during its 10-year anniversary, but it's now been confirmed that the remake is definitely happening and that Yusada will be returning to the series alongside his new studio, Dragami Games. That only led to more sponsored gigs, for games like 2013’s Assassin’s Creed IV. Well, I say new look, but lets be honest: not much has changed and - true to the studio.

Ubc first folio9/6/2023 “These digital features are really animating the texts. “We haven’t done an exhibition quite like this before,” the gallery Director Anthony Kiendl told the Art Newspaper. UBC purchased the First Folio, formerly owned by a private collector in the U.S., through Christie’s New York with funding provided by a consortium of donors from across North America and with the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage. The Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition, ‘For All Time: The Shakespeare First Folio.’ will feature the folio, along with three copies of Shakespeare’s work from later in the 17th century, annotated pages of the books in an animated display, and more interactive displays the patrons can join with their smartphones. “The book’s presence here will provide us with opportunities to think about how Shakespeare’s works have been agents of colonialism and provoke us to think about the ways in which Shakespeare’s plays can help us think through local iterations of global questions about sexuality and gender, religious tolerance, politics and power, race and social justice, and even climate justice.” “Having the book here in Vancouver in 2021 on the unceded lands of the Musqueam people allows us to do what scholars around the world have been doing for a while now, and that is to think about Shakespeare’s work in place-based terms,” says English language and literature expert Patricia Badir in the statement. The folio offers scholars at UBC a unique insight into Shakespeare’s work: An exceedingly rare and valuable complete first edition of William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories and Tragedies known as the First Folio has been acquired by the University of British. “And this one has been messed with in a really, really fascinating way.” “For us-for universities, for institutions, for scholars and students-books that have been messed with over the centuries are far more interesting,” Mackie told the media. A page lost from this folio was replaced by one from a copy in an 18th century folio owned by Samuel Johnson. Title page of the first impression (1623). It's one of only 235 copies remaining around the world and one of only two in Canada, according to. Previous copies have sold for almost $10 million, but apparently the copy bought by UBC cost far less as it is not in pristine condition. UBC did not disclose the price of the First Folio, which includes half of Shakespeare's plays. According to experts, around 750 copies of the folio were printed, and the title page image of Shakespeare is one of two portraits that have “any claim to authenticity,” according to the British Library. |
