![]() ![]() The flavor of the Dirty Martini is enhanced by the combination of gin and olives brine or juice. The traditional cocktail dates back to 1901, when New York bartender John O’Connor muddled the olive juice into the drink and added a splash of olive brine. The Dirty Martini, with its combination of flavors and aromas, is the perfect drink for serving with olives. A Classic Combo: The Dirty Martini & Olives Because of the olive, any cocktail can be transformed into an incredible one. They can also be used as a garnish for Martinis, but they can also be used for Salads, Pizzas, and other dishes. Olives can be used as garnish on salads, pizzas, and other foods, making them an excellent ingredient for any kitchen. They make an excellent addition to any cocktail due to their delicate flavor and crunchy texture. If you want a Martini that stands out from the crowd, Eat Prime Foods’ Castelvetrano Olives are the way to go. It goes without saying that the addition of these spices adds a distinct and complex flavor to the Martini, leaving your guests wanting more. With their bright green color and slightly sweet flavor, these drinks are an eye-catching addition to any cocktail. As a result, these Sicilian olives have a sweet and crunchy texture that is finely brined to preserve their plump, buttery, and delicately cured flavor. With the Eat Prime Foods Castelvetrano Olives, you can create a truly unique Martini experience. Finally, for a unique twist, a bright and citrusy cocktail such as a gin and tonic or vodka and lemon juice will add a tart and tangy complement to the olives. For a more savory and herbal flavor, try a light beer or stout. For a non-alcoholic option, sparkling fruit juice or ginger ale provide a refreshing and light pairing with olives. ![]() Sparkling wines, such as Prosecco or Cava, are also great choices. A light and fruity white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio, Riesling, or Sauvignon Blanc, is an ideal accompaniment to olives. Olives are a versatile food that goes well with a variety of drinks.

![]() And the Clash? Startled at first, it only took a couple of bars for them both to dig it. Both men were elated, as if rediscovering a long-lost part of themselves. Clearly, the reggae master was thrilled to be reunited with his own early mentor. Once heard, his dub productions’ space-bending textures, defying logic, would alter a listeners’ concept of sound for always.īut though I had covered Marley for a while (and very briefly, done his PR), I had never found the two together, or seen Bob so gleeful to be with anyone. Brown,” the most edgy, eerie Wailers’ song. For it was the visionary Scratch - impish, zany, forever keeping you guessing - who really pushed their sound forward in the 1960s, when the Wailers were a hot local ska trio. I was surprised to find Bob Marley sitting with him Scratch was staying in an apartment over the studio where Marley, a fugitive after an attempt on his life in Kingston, was recording Exodus and everyone in the room knew that Bob might not be the international superstar he already was had it not been for Scratch. The burning of the Black Ark also culminated in the Jamaican’s permanent relocation to Europe.It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in 1977 London when I popped in to visit the already-legendary dub creator Lee “Scratch” Perry to get his reaction to a new version by the Clash of his song about corruption “Police and Thieves.” I was curious – Joe Strummer’s rasp was so different from the angelic falsetto of the original singer, a policeman from Port Antonio named Junior Murvin. In 1979, the producer’s legendary Black Ark in Kingston, Jamaica – a backyard recording studio that was home to sessions by Bob Marley and the Wailers, Junior Murvin, Max Romeo, Paul McCartney and Wings and many more – was set ablaze by Perry, closing out a vital chapter in the history of dub music. This isn’t the first time one of Perry’s artistic havens has burned down. “Maybe I have to make a change in my life, and put away the candle-burning for a while and clean up my brain… Maybe I was tired and wound up sleeping, something like that… and didn’t know the candle was burning.” “Something has to happen to make the world go around, and that’s what happened,” he said. “Scratch” Perry then briefly talked to the CBC about the incident. “And you know, if I ask him to get a copy, to store something, to make sure nothing happens, he don’t want to give me! He doesn’t like to give away his energy, he says. She added that the dub legend lost “all his machines, his computers, all the keys, the USB sticks with all the music,” and that he did not keep a backup copy of all his music. And if something drops in the water… he does not believe me that it can be dangerous.” ![]() “He even stands in a bucket of water, and holds some electronic stuff, and does his installations and says nothing can happen. But I know he’s careless, and he thinks nothing can happen to him,” Mirielle Perry said. In an interview with the CBC, Perry’s wife Mirielle Perry offered more details about the fire, admitting that she usually hides the candles from her husband. Perry also noted in his letter, “I am so sad and my wife is so mad.” As a result of the fire, Perry is asking fans to provide specially made costumes for his upcoming trek fans who contribute an outfit will be placed on the guest list and given backstage access when the Upsetter’s trek comes to their town. On Facebook, Perry also posted photos of himself standing in the burnt-out ruins of the studio, which lent its name to Perry’s 1990 LP From the Secret Laboratory. I forgot to out a candle and my whole secret laboratory burned out,” Perry wrote on Facebook, “My whole life collections, arts, my magic hats, my magic boots, all my crazy show outfits and costumes: king, pope, general, magician… All my electronics and studio equipment and my magic mic, books, musik, CDs… Everything gone.” Lee “Scratch” Perry‘s “secret laboratory” studio in Switzerland burned down Thursday, destroying the dub legend’s collection of studio equipment, art, stage costumes and music. ![]() Google has kept Android Wear very much locked down in terms of features and software that can be added my manufacturers out of the box. It's worth noting that Android Wear 5.0 allows custom watch faces to be downloaded from the Google Play store, and this has opened up a number of looks and choices that increases the value of every Android Wear unit, including the SmartWatch 3. The Sony SmartWatch 3 runs the latest version of Android Wear, and the companion software on your Android device will check for the latest version and update the smartwatch over-the-air if required (I'm testing with Android Wear 5.0.1). It's a good one to make, if I'm honest because I would rather more information and more battery rather than fancy display, HD graphics, and less battery life on my wrist. Of course a smaller screen with fewer elements means better battery life, so the current technology has found the compromise. This is not going to win any awards for clarity, and the resulting images on the display do exhibit some pixelation under normal viewing conditions. The screen resolution is 320x320 pixels, on a 1.6 inch transreflective screen. Otherwise, the Sony SmartWatch 3 feels much like every other Android Wear device out there. With dustproofing and waterproofing (to IP68 standards), the SmartWatch 3 should be comfortable immersed in water for up to thirty minutes. Sony has gone with a vertically mounted USB port on the back of the watch, covered by a tight-fitting rubber gurney flap. The flap is used to keep the watch integrity in place. Other smartwatches have a proprietary cable or a charging dock to supply the power. It charges directly from a microUSB cable. ![]() This is where the second advantage of the SmartWatch 3 comes in to play. This will comfortably get through a full day of use, and for normal use (a mix of alerts, notifications, and some voice commands and searches) you will reach the 48 hour mark before it starts asking to be charged. At 420 mAh, it's the largest battery I've yet seen on an Android Wear device. Interestingly, both concerns are to do with power. ![]() It is not a standardized accepted weight/mass parameter like “grams”, “ounces”, or “pounds.” It is an expression that attempts to describe the ratio of the amount of weight in the bottom 2/3’s to the weight in the upper 1/3 of a golf club. That’s all well and good but just what is swingweight?įirst of all, it really is not an actual weight or an actual measurement of a weight or mass. C8, D1, D4 are examples of the letter/number designation which have been used to label the swingweight of golf clubs. See basic differences between Swingweight and Moment of Inertia desribed here.One of the very first technical points a golfer learns about his equipment is the letter + number designation which describes the SWINGWEIGHT of the clubs. ![]() ![]() Consequently, very few golfers can feel a difference of one swingweight point (or 0.2 ounces on the Official scale, respectively). Some golfers can feel a difference of two points, but the difference in feel is subtle. Generally most golfers feel the difference of three swingweight points to be quite noticeable. Then, the most frequently used unit of force is newton (SI unit). Naturally, in the Lorythmic scale, this point is located 14 inches from the edge of the grip, while in the Official scale it is 12 inches. Sometimes swingweight is expressed in units of force that must be applied to the butt of the club to maintain the balance of the club supported at the fulcrum point. On Official scale the gap of 0.2 ounce (or 2 inch-ounces) corresponds to one “swingweight point” on Lorythmic scale. Accordingly for women’s clubs it is 19.1 do 19.5 ounces (230 to 235 in*oz). The manufacturers take the standard for men’s clubs from 20.0 do 20.5 ounces (240 to 245 in*oz). The Official Swingweight expressed in ounces indicates the load that has to be applied at the grip end (butt) to balance the golf club. Alternatively, some use the moment of force units such as “inch-ounces” (in*oz). Swingweight on this scale is traditionally expressed in “ounces”. Official scale is based on the fulcrum point at 12” from the butt. Usually manufacturers take the standard for men’s clubs from D0 to D2, and for women’s clubs from C5 to C7. The gap between adjacent combinations of letter and number is known as a “swingweight point”. So the symbol A0 indicates the lightest heft, progressing up to the heaviest, G9. ![]() The lower the letter and digit, the less the headweight the golfer notices when the club is swung. The scale uses the letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, and the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The lorythmic scale expresses the swingweight value in alphanumeric symbols (letter + number). Lorythmic (Lorythm) scale uses the fulcrum point at 14” from the butt. In golf history, clubfitters have used two different Swingweight scales: “Lorythmic” (the most popular nowadays) and “Official” (used in vintage scales). Swingweight is measured as the amount of torque the weight of the club exerted about a pivoting fulcrum point. It is only an arbitrary expression of the weight distribution of a golf club. In fact, no “swingweight” exists in the swing physics. Therefore many golfers still traditionally use it as the simplest method of matching club set. Nevertheless the swingweight fitting is not a bad match at all. But in the past golfers needed any simple method and the value of swingweight was easy to estimate. In accordance with the principles of physics, club sets should be matched basing on moment of inertia ( MOI) of the clubs about their butts. It specifies how heavy the clubfeels to a golfer swinging it. Swingweight (SW, swing weight, swinging weight) is one of attempts to quantify the heft or headweight feel of a golf club. In a nutshell: You are time stamping the wrong data, see the bottom of the answer. How can I check that the data is correct so that adobe can show me that the signature has been timestamped? Then I use the CryptSignMessage function to sign the original data which uses the above structure.The repsonse from the TSA is added to a *CRYPT_SIGN_MESSAGE_PARA* structure as an unauthenticated attribute and the signing time is added as an authenticated attribute.I've set the *TIMESTAMP_DONT_HASH_DATA* flag so that the digest won't be hashed again.

Note that if there is a number of sentences having substantially the same meaning (subject to an equivalence measure provided by the user), our summarizing technology only displays one of these thereby making for a much more powerful summaries than can be achieved by conventional methods. ![]() By using our legal, scientific and business dictionaries, even complex material can be summarized successfully. Our summaries use abduction, do not require any prior training or ontologies, are produced on the basis of semantic relevance and do NOT use word-frequency at all, which is not a reliable method since important material might not be mentioned often enough and could be missed by conventional methods. Our system replaces ALL words so the final text uses this 1,000 words vocabulary. Other methods of rewording or paraphrasing text typically change only those words or phrases they have a ready replacement for but leave many words untouched, so that the final vocabulary is unpredictable. This approach allows for infinite expressiveness using a FIXED finite vocabulary. This approach is also ideal as a pre-processing step in Big Data, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, and we have found it so useful in these applications that we have now made the service available to the general public. ![]() Premium and Platinum subscribers are able to generate reduced-vocabulary texts from any source language available on Google translate.

The ZV-1 isn't the best camera to go for if you only want still photographs, but if you're looking to shoot a lot of video on your next vacation, or if you're after a second camera specifically for video purposes then it's worth considering. Stills max out at 20.1 megapixels and they're perfectly good for daytime snaps on your travels. It'll shoot video at 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, but turn that quality down and it can shoot up to a whopping 960fps for some super slow-mo action. It's stabilized well enough for vlogging when you're standing still, but it struggles to smooth out bigger movements when you're walking at more of a pace. It doesn't have interchangeable lenses but its built-in zoom takes it from an equivalent of 24mm through to 70mm. Its 1-inch type sensor is the smallest of all cameras on this list, so its image quality isn't as good as more expensive models, particularly in lower light conditions, but in daytime lighting it's footage looks solid. It's got an articulated display that lets you easily see yourself when you're filming your pieces to camera and the built-in mic does a decent job of capturing audio - and there's an included fluffy wind-shield which helps cut down on wind noise. Sony's ZV-1 is primarily aimed at aspiring YouTube vloggers who are looking for a video camera you can just pick up and start shooting with. And its relatively compact size makes it a great option for taking on your next family vacation, capturing stills for a family photo album and video to send to your friends and family back home. Overall, the R6 II's improvements over its predecessor make it a superb do-it-all mirrorless camera that excels in stills and video. ![]() It offers up to 8-stop in-body image stabilization (with a compatible lens) to help you get sharp and steady results even at lower shutter speeds. Its full-frame sensor delivers great-looking images, with plenty of scope for pulling back highlights and lifting shadows in Lightroom. It'll shoot video internally at up to 4K resolution in 10-bit raw, or up to 6K using an external recorder via the HDMI port and video clips can now run beyond the R6's 30-minute limit up to 6 hours in length. It works great in video too, recognising your subject and keeping locked on as they move through the scene. Speaking of focus, there are upgrades there too, with improved detection for faces, animals or cars and with lightning-fast lock on and tracking. Its burst shooting speed now goes up to a whopping 40 fps (with the electronic shutter), making it faster than Canon's pro-level R3 when using focus tracking and double the speed you get from the first-gen R6. Its 24-megapixel resolution is up from the 20 megapixels of the first R6 and its seen upgrades to its specs across the board. Want a camera to record your next ski trip?
