She is the master distiller and general manager at the Cascade Hollow Distillery in Tullahoma, Tennessee, which is home to George Dickel. Austin knows this controversy all too well. “You’d be surprised, but people are mean on the Internet,” remarked Nicole Austin when we recently chatted. Someone innocent-or a troll-will ask, is Jack Daniel’s or George Dickel actually bourbon? It usually starts an argument, with statements brasher than mine flying about. That’s when he said, “I don’t care what the label says, you two are outta here!” So we went and found a bar with Knob Creek, and were treated like gentlemen.Īnyone who has ever visited a Facebook or Reddit bourbon group has probably seen something very similar to this exchange. She looked at it and said, “You know, they’re right, it doesn’t say ‘bourbon’ anywhere on the label.” Then his partner picked up the bottle of Jack. The bartender got stubborn and we went back and forth a bit. “Yeah, Jack’s not bourbon, it’s Tennessee whiskey.” How to Avoid Overhyped and Overpriced Bourbon The Costco stores that carry spirits should have all three expressions in time for Christmas sales in the fourth quarter.And without thinking, being a younger, brasher man in those days, I replied, “Jack Daniel’s isn’t bourbon.” ![]() The small batch is scheduled to begin rolling out in June, and the other expressions will follow over the course of the summer and early fall. If that is the case, they will represent outstanding values! The scuttlebutt is between $20 to $25 per 1 liter bottle. Pricing will vary by state but in the Costco tradition all three bourbons will be very competitively priced. Not all three expressions are yet available. Certainly, if you are a fan of Barton, or high rye mash bills in general, you will find much to like in the Kirkland Signature bottlings. The finish is medium length, with some dried fruit notes and lingering notes of oak wood, vanilla and caramel.Īll three expressions, in my opinion, show a consistent Barton 1792 DNA, although they do appear to exhibit subtle differences from Barton’s regular bottlings. There is a noticeable pepperiness that accompanies the cinnamon and clove notes. On the palate, there are pronounced notes of caramel and vanilla, along with some dried tropical fruit and a hint of stone fruit. The oak wood note becomes more noticeable as the whiskey opens up. On the nose, there are notes of caramel, vanilla and a persistent dried and candied fruit note, along with some cinnamon and clove spice. The designation bottled-in-bond (BIB) means that the whiskey is the product of one distilling season, either January to June or July to December, a single distillery, has been aged for at least four years and is bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof). Kirkland Signature, Bottled-in-Bond, Barton’s 1792 Master Distillers, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, NAS, 50% ABV, 1 liter Kirkland Signature, Bottled-In-Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Photo, courtesy Costco The finish is very long, smooth and sweet with lingering notes of caramel and vanilla, some oak and spice notes. The fruit has more of a tropical character, with notes of melon and a bit of banana and is accompanied by a noticeable pepperiness, along with cinnamon and clove notes. The dried fruit, honey, caramel and vanilla flavors on the nose carry over to the palate. The overproof strength is underscored by a fair amount of alcohol burn on the palate. On the palate, the bourbon has a slightly oily texture, with a medium viscosity and a mouth coating texture. On the nose, there are notes of dried fruit, along with sweet honey, caramel and vanilla. These tasting notes are based on a single representative sample and, while indicative of the expression, may vary from the bottling found in any one store. The TTB, (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) does not have a legal definition of “single barrel”, hence there is no way of knowing whether a single barrel bottling is a mix of individual single barrels or a succession of bottlings from different single barrels. While they will share a common DNA, you may see some differences between different bottlings, especially between stores in different parts of the country. Since a single barrel’s worth of bourbon wouldn’t go far across the 337 Costco stores that sell spirits, presumably this is a collection of individual single barrels. This expression is a single barrel selection.

Acquired by Netflix following its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, the story of musician Jon Batiste navigating his wife’s illness and his career is the type of movie that can excite voters (if enough of them give it a fair shake). Matthew Heineman’s emotionally moving “American Symphony” would make a fantastic first feature in that realm.

The movie seemed to be a hit for Auburn students, with people laughing at certain parts of the movie that had been previously trending on social media, as well as a few tears being shed during the more emotional parts toward the end. I liked the old movies, dolls, all of it.” “I was personally attracted to the movie because I’ve been a Barbie girl since I was a kid. “The music is really good,” Ellison said. To Clark, "Barbie" can show people what many women feel, which is what drew her to the movie. Students Lily Clark, junior in business administration, and Macy Ellison, freshman in pre-nursing, said they would recommend this movie to others. Robertson said the organization has tried to make events more creative and interactive, which the "Barbie" screening demonstrates. Events like these help students “see what to offer,” according to Strickland. Strickland said she wanted students to have fun and enjoy the movie but also promote the work of UPC. She said they were expecting a big crowd, due to both how well the movie has done this year and based on past turnouts with the bigger blockbusters they had showcased. Robertson agreed, describing the movie as interesting and motivational. "I think the message of it paired with Barbie just being so nostalgic and iconic. “It’s definitely a for-the-girls moment, which I think a lot of people will appreciate," said Melisa Strickland, assistant director of operations for films and junior in psychology, discussing the purpose behind the screening. Robertson explained UPC usually has a meeting in the spring to decide on which films they plan to screen and a couple meetings in the fall to narrow down their choices before the events. “ coming up with those fun ideas and details of decorating and food, planning and ordering these things, etc.” “Most of it was just leadership coming together and deciding on the little fun things that we wanted to add to the event,” Robertson said. ![]() Inside, students were welcomed with Chicken Salad Chick croissant platters, special-made Barbie cookies, a Barbie box themed photo booth, a pink balloon arch and carpet and more. The screening was just one of many parts of the event. “Usually in the past, our films have been a lot smaller, so this movie was really the perfect way for us to expand." It was a new release, so we just came up with the idea that it could be a huge event,” Robertson said. “We kind of just decided in the beginning that "Barbie" was an obvious choice. ![]() ![]() UPC’s director of films Rachel Robertson, sophomore in biomedical sciences, said she knew it would be a great film for one of their movie nights. It is currently the highest grossing movie of the year, earning roughly $1.4 billion dollars internationally. The Barbie movie was released this past summer and was a hit at the box office. Well over 100 students were in attendance for the event, with many decked out in pink attire to show off their love for the Barbie franchise.

The brothers are rescued by their neighbor Pinako Rockbell and her granddaughter Winry. Instead, they suffered brutal personal loss: Alphonse's body disintegrated while Edward lost a leg and then sacrificed an arm to keep Alphonse's soul in the physical realm by binding it to a hulking suit of armor. Ignoring the alchemical principle banning human transmutation, the boys attempted to bring their recently deceased mother back to life. ![]() After a horrific alchemy experiment goes wrong in the Elric household, brothers Edward and Alphonse are left in a catastrophic new reality. ![]() Nevertheless, we have the specs of the brake which gives you an insight into its braking performance. Since All the automakers haven’t provided the official performance figures, there is no scope for comparing the braking performance. It has Automatic emergency braking and ABS as standard. Additionally, it also offers some modern features that enhance braking. Hence we believe that the braking performance might be better or on par with the segment. With a curb weight of 5621 lbs, it turns out to be the lightest van in the segment. It gets a 12.1 inches rotor on each side. However, let's check out the brake specifications. Usually, the automakers don’t test the braking performance of a Passenger Van. 2021 Ford Transit Passenger Van Braking Performance Also, it comes with AdvanceTrac With Roll Stability control and comes with 16-inch alloy wheels with decently wide tires that add to the handling of the van. To start with, it gets a Side Wind Stabilization feature that stabilizes the body roll during heavy winds which is quite an impressive feature. On top of that, it also comes with some modern techs to offer a decent ride quality despite being able to seat 12 passengers. In the rear, it gets a Heavy-duty Gas Shock Absorbers leaf spring suspension which offers a relatively comfortable ride quality overall. The suspension used in the front is an Independent MacPherson-strut with Stabilizer Bar that considerably reduces the body roll while driving in tight corners. The Ford Escape incorporates some modern gimmicks such as an Electric Power Assisted Steering which provides better handling comparatively. How well does the 2021 Ford Transit Passenger Van handle ? Nevertheless, the top speed of all these vans is not specified as these vans are focused mainly on practicality and versatility rather than performance. ![]() While both GM twins outclass the 2021 Nissan NV Passenger Van in terms of power and performance numbers which has a 0-60 mph time of 8.4 seconds. In the 0-60 mph run, the Ford Transit’s 7.7 seconds timeout parallels all the other counterparts. The Ford Escape may lose out to the other vans in terms of brake size and fuel capacity, but the Transit proves its mettle in the speed charts. The optional turbocharged V6 engine clearly delivers better performance figures than the base engine.Ģ021 Chevrolet Express 2500 Passenger Van However, the top speed has not been revealed officially by the automaker. ![]() Talking about the performance numbers, it is capable of hitting 0-60 mph in 7.7 seconds which is absolutely astonishing, and does a quarter-mile run in 15.9 seconds. Moreover, it also gets an optional all-wheel-drive option which makes it easier to drive on rugged terrains. You can also opt for a more powerful 3.5 Liter turbocharged V6 engine that churns out a whopping 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of tremendous torque.īoth these engines come mated to a 10-speed transmission and a rear-wheel-drive option as standard. The base engine is a 3.5 liter V6 upfront that generated 275 hp 6,500 rpm and a torque of 262 lb-ft 3,750 RPM which is quite sufficient for a family van, but if that doesn’t satisfy your needs. Usually, all the vans in the segment get a massive V6 engine and the Ford Transit Passenger Van gets two engine options. Ford also provides additional packages include Livery package, Builders Prep package, and Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow package ![]() Additionally, it offers standard features like Foglights, Full-length carpeting, an Upgraded infotainment system with Ford's Sync 3 software, Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage, and Parking sensors. However, the XLT trim is a notch better than the base trim in every way. As you can see the base trim offers plenty of modern features. The XLT trim is the one that makes the most sense here and also not very expensive when compared to the base trim. Upgraded infotainment system with Ford's Sync 3 softwareīlind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and trailer coverage The other significant features of both the trims are given below.īlind Spot Information System with Cross-traffic Alert As standard, it comes with features like a Tire pressure monitoring system, Rearview camera, Lane-keeping alert with driver alert, Rain-sensing wipers, 4-inch audio display, Sliding passenger-side door, and Easy-to-clean vinyl flooring. The base trim starts at $41,695 and goes up to $43,530 for the XLT trim. The Transit offers two engine options as well. It now gets an electronic parking brake as standard for the 2022 model year. Ford retains all the interior and exterior styling elements. Both these trims come with a high roof version as well. The Ford Escape is offered in 2 different trim levels XL and XLT. ![]() A plot of the temperature of the many stars against their luminosities produces a plot called a Hertzsprung Russell diagram (H R diagram). ![]() Alternative characteristics of a star, as well as diameter and temperature, modification over its life, whereas the star's setting affects its rotation and movement. The full mass of a star is that the main issue that determines its evolution and ultimate fate. Astronomers will confirm the mass, age, metallicity (chemical composition), and plenty of alternative properties of a star by perceptive its motion through the area, its physical property, and spectrum severally. Close to the tip of its life, a star can even contain degenerate matter. The majority present components heavier than element are created by stellar synthesis throughout the star's life, and for a few stars by star synthesis, once it explodes. For a minimum of some of its life, a star shines because of atomic fusion of H into element in its core, emotional energy that traverses the star's interior then radiates into location. However, most of the calculable three hundred sextillions (3×1023) stars within the Universe are invisible to the optic from Earth, as well as all-stars outside our galaxy, the Milky Way System. Astronomers have assembled star catalogues that establish the notable stars and supply standardized stellar designations. Traditionally, the foremost outstanding stars were sorted into constellations and asterisms, the brightest of that gained correct names. several alternative stars are visible to the optic from Earth throughout the night, showing as a large number of fastened lambent points within the sky because of their huge distance from Earth.

These functions are very important and contribute to the discovery of different nodes and the communication between them for transactions. The network layer manages block addition, block generation, and node detection. This layer allows nodes, or computers, to communicate with each other, and it interconnects the entire network. Transactions must be confirmed as legitimate before they arrive at the receiver, and it is important for this communication to be quick and efficient. The network layer is how nodes communicate data related to transactions. The receiver is also protected with a private key, and data is encrypted so that it cannot be tampered with. This protects the identity of the sender and also keeps the transaction process secure. Transactions on the blockchain involve the sender’s wallet private key, which means that the data can only be viewed and modified by the sender. The blockchain is constantly expanding as additional data is added to the network, and it is a very large system. The blockchain involves the exchange of a large amount of information, and this is done using the data layer. Each device is at the same level, which maximizes efficiency. Each individual device, called a node, will independently monitor and verify transactions at random. A client-server architecture allows the data exchange between nodes to be possible, as some nodes are owned by clients, and others belong to the server.Įssentially, the infrastructure layer is a network of devices that all exchange information with each other. Infrastructure or hardware layerīlockchain platforms use a peer-to-peer network in which nodes connect to each other to quickly and easily share data. ![]() ![]() These layers work together and form a powerful network that has a great many uses and features. The blockchain involves different layers, and the layers of blockchain help create a functional system that forms the basis of many transactions and processes. Understanding the Blockchain Architecture They can also be categorized as layers 0, 1, 2, and 3. The blockchain layers include an infrastructure layer, a data layer, a network layer, a consensus layer, and an application and presentation layer. As new data entries arrive on the network, each computer will examine it, make changes as necessary, and ultimately add it to the network. This form of transaction, in which the sender’s identity is completely protected and secure, leads to a layered blockchain architecture.ĭLT includes multiple computers in a network that follows a predetermined protocol to come to a consensus and confirm transactional data. Transactions must be secure and safe to maintain, and distributed ledger technology (DLT) is used to achieve this. A layered design is helpful because it allows us to better organize functions in distinct modules, and it allows for more scalable and flexible designs that can be used by more people at a time. There is not a single controlling body for blockchain technology which means that a layered design is most efficient. Here, you will be able to learn how exactly this technology works and what it means when someone mentions layers of blockchain. Blockchain technology is used by millions of people around the world, and there is the potential to make a lot of money with this technology. Some benefits of blockchain technology include minimizing operational costs, eliminating intermediaries, and enhancing efficiency with a transparent, secure system. ![]() Thoracic outlet syndrome can lead to a wide range of symptoms. What are the signs and symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome? Body position (such as poor posture or certain overhead activities) can also play a role in causing or contributing to symptoms. Hypermobility (looseness) of the either of the scapula (shoulder blade) or the glenohumeral joint of the shoulder can also create tension or traction on the nerves or blood vessels in the thoracic outlet region. It can also occur from a narrowing of the thoracic outlet space between the clavicle and chest wall or in the region where the nerves and blood vessels pass under muscles as they cross the shoulder. ![]() It may be the result of an extra rib (known as a cervical rib), hypertrophic (enlarged) muscle or scar tissue, or abnormality of muscles in the neck. The underlying cause of the compression itself can vary. TOS is caused by compression of arteries and/or veins (called "vascular thoracic outlet syndrome"), the nerves between the shoulder and neck, known as the brachial plexus (called "neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome") or a combination of the two. The area above and behind the clavicle (collarbone) from the neck to the shoulder forms an "outlet" through which blood vessels and nerves pass before they enter the arms to supply them with circulation (blood and oxygen) and sensation (pain and feeling). The term “thoracic outlet” comes from its location in the body. It commonly affects in one or both of the upper limbs (arms) and/or the hands, armpits, upper back, neck and pectoral area of the chest. ![]() Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a syndrome that can cause any combination of pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, sensation of coldness or, sometimes, a more general feeling of discomfort in portions of the upper body. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) What is thoracic outlet syndrome? ![]() Wound Hygiene TM clears the barriers to wound healing, helping antimicrobial dressings to achieve maximum efficacy (Percival et al, 2019). This can only be achieved if effective wound hygiene is routinely carried out. They should be used as an adjunct to address residual biofilm and prevent its re-formation. Wound Hygiene TM uses a four-step approach that comprises cleansing of the wound and peri-wound, wound debridement, refashioning of the wound edges and the selection of an appropriate antimicrobial dressing (Murphy et al, 2020).Īntimicrobial dressings alone are not sufficient to disrupt and remove biofilm. hand hygiene, the fundamental principle is based on repetition. Wound Hygiene TM is a simple, early intervention strategy that was developed to address the problem of biofilm in hard-to-heal wounds. Wound Hygiene TM and AQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings: an early intervention against biofilm Results indicated that 78% of wounds progressed following treatment with AQUACEL ® Ag+, while 13% healed during the average evaluation period of 3.9 weeks. The ability of AQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings to promote healing in chronic wounds that were stalled or deteriorating at baseline was evaluated in a study of 111 patients from 60 centres across the UK and Ireland (Metcalf et al, 2017). A body of evidence with 25 publications exists that demonstrate the efficacy of AQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings and biofilm, in vitro, in vivo and in clinical practice.Īn in vitro study (Bowler and Parsons, 2016) found that MORE THAN SILVER TM technology was able to effectively disrupt biofilm and kill bacteria, presenting a new therapeutic option for the management of hard-to-heal wounds. MORE THAN SILVER TM technology was developed following years of research in which more than 60,000 potential agents were combined and tested, before the combination of surfactant, metal chelating agent and ionic silver were discovered. What is the evidence for using the AQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings range? EDTA helps to remove the metal ions that hold the biofilm’s protective matrix together, exposing the micro-organisms within the biofilm to the anti-microbial effects of ionic silver (Chen and Stewart, 2000 Banin et al, 2006 Said et al, 2014). Metal chelating agents such as EDTA strongly bind and attract metal ions, boosting the action of surfactants. BEC, the surfactant component of AQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings, reduces biofilm surface tension, making it more susceptible to the actions of the metal chelating agent EDTA, and ionic silver (Chen and Stewart, 2000 Banin et al, 2006 Said et al, 2014 Seth et al, 2014). ![]() Surfactant reduces surface tension, aiding the removal of contaminants from surfaces. This combination has been shown to be more effective when compared to ionic silver alone (Bowler and Parsons, 2016). These components are specifically formulated to act synergistically to disrupt and destroy biofilm and prevent its reformation. Hydrofiber™ Technology helps create an ideal environment for healing – and for Ag+ Technology to work.Mode of action: how does AQUACEL ®Ag+ disrupt and destroy biofilm?ĪQUACEL ® Ag+ dressings use Hydrofiber ® technology to create a moist wound healing interface, in conjunction with MORE THAN SILVER TM technology that combines three components – a surfactant, a metal chelating agent and ionic silver.
