It’s Not Just Bourbon: Kentucky Has Vineyards

admin

Kentucky is known for its Bourbon. Surely the Northern Kentucky payroll folks wouldn’t mind making a slug. What few people know is that wineries abound in Kentucky. Certainly Northern Kentucky tax planning folks wouldn’t mind drinking Maggie Adams Blush, or Colonel’s Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon, or maybe a good Elk Creek Merlot or Elk Creek Petite Syrah. Or maybe a good wine from La Ferme du Cerf? Kentucky was home to the first American commercial winery. Wineries and vineyards flourished in the hills. The ban was the ruin of the business, forcing many winegrowers to change crops or leave. The last ten years have seen a renaissance in winemaking. Kentucky has many interesting wineries and some award-winning wines. Many of the wineries are a pleasant place to spend time.

Acres of Land Winery is located on Barnes Mill Road near Richmond Kentucky. Once a full-time tobacco farm, it now houses vineyards and a restaurant. Produces a variety of wines. Chamborcine and Vignoles Vinerifa are some of the regional wines grown on the estate. The river region has the River Valley Winery in Carrollton. Some of their award-winning wines include Vidal Blanc, a crisp German-style dry white wine, Medovina, a mead wine with a slight clean taste, or Cynthia, a multiple award-winning dry red table wine. These are just a few of River Valley Winery’s wines. They have a tasting room and all of their wines are 100% Kentucky grown grapes.

The Stonebrook Winery is located 20 minutes south of Cincinnati, located in Camp Springs, Kentucky. They have an award-winning Vidal Blanc wine and use the Vidal grape in their estate wine. They have another label called Kentucky Orchard. The Stonebrook winery produces peach, pear, blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and Cabernet Sauvignon wine. They hold special events and once a month they dine in their tasting room. The Elk Creek Winery is located in Owenton Kentucky, about an hour’s drive from Louisville, Lexington, and Cincinnati. It is the largest commercial vineyard in Kentucky and is a popular destination winery. In addition to having a long list of award-winning wines, the vineyard features a bed and breakfast, spa services, an art gallery, cooking classes and live entertainment on weekends at the winery, and a series of open-air concerts. during the summer. Some of the award-winning wines include; Reserve Syrah, Cabernet, Bone Dry Red, Pinot Grigio, Vidal Blanc and Ghostly White. Elk Creek offers a variety of accommodations and many things to do during a visit.

Chrisman Mill Vineyards is located in Nicholasville Kentucky. It has been producing and bottling wine since 1999. All of its grapes come from Kentucky. Which makes it a more American vineyard than one that produces reds and whites in bluegrass country. Some of their award-winning wines include Ensemble 2006, the first vineyard reserve of 2005, Sweet Jessamine Rose 2007, and the classic Vidal Blanc, a regularly awarded wine.

The next time you’re in Kentucky, enjoy the hills and the bourbon, but don’t miss out on the wonderful vineyards and award-winning wines.

Bruce Lee Isometric Exercise: Power and Speed

Bruce Lee Isometric Exercise? Was that Bruce Lee’s secret weapon for developing strength?

Not a day goes by without an old Bruce Lee movie being shown and people are in awe of his incredibly slim, V-Tapered body. Bruce Lee was ahead of his time in almost everything he did. Even when it comes to bodybuilding. In an age when sheer volume meant strength, Bruce Lee changed the world by showing you the beauty of muscle definition and the power it produces.

As you will know from my website, I have done an incredible amount of research on Bruce Lee, his workouts, and fitness methods. In fact, it is this research that motivated me to create an isometric exercise device that incorporated many of Bruce Lee’s isometric exercise principles.

Bruce Lee began using isometric exercises from the beginning of his martial arts training. Isometry was always a part of martial arts, so it is not uncommon for you to have practiced this type of physical training.

But Bruce Lee was an innovator and felt the same about strength training as he did about martial arts. That is, take what works, use it, take what doesn’t work, and throw it away.

That philosophy embodies the spirit of Bruce Lee and the way he used isometric exercise.

Bruce Lee, began putting more emphasis on isometric exercise right after his back injury by doing a free weight exercise called Good Mornings. He had read and studied Bob Hoffman’s work with the United States Olympic Weightlifting Team. He decided to expand his training, in the same way that he expanded Jeet Kune Do.

Bruce Lee experimented with many training devices, including an isometric exercise device that was being sold at the time. The main difference was in its application of the isometric exercise device. Unlike traditional isometrics, you performed many repetitions of the exercise and then used what is now known as an isometric post-exercise crunch.

Bruce Lee found that by using it in this way, he significantly increased his muscle size, fitness level, and strength. What I liked the most about Bruce Lee is that he was not attached to tradition or dogmas. He didn’t sit down and defend traditional martial arts, he innovated. His greatest contribution to the bodybuilding and martial arts community was in that belief system. When reading the original Jeet Kune Do manuscript, that became very apparent.

It is unfortunate that some people remain rigid in their thinking, believing that because something worked in the past, it is still the most effective way to do it that way today. If we can learn anything from Bruce Lee, it will be, as he so aptly put it, “to be like water. Water adapts to its environment, but does not allow itself to be dominated by it. We must take that thought and apply it not only to our lives but to to our exercise and isometric training.

Bruce Lee’s isometric exercise training was a tool he used to achieve his goal. It’s unfortunate that Bruce Lee died at such a young age.

Here’s a perfect example of his use of that philosophy … when he was practicing wrestling the wrestler pinned him down and asked what he would do if he got caught in this position in a real fight. Bruce Lee replied, “well, I would bite you, of course.”

Can you still track an email if the account is closed?

admin

Do you need to trace an email address to locate or identify the sender? You can still achieve this even if the email account is now closed and no longer active. It may be a bit more difficult, but it is still possible to identify the person behind that email address. In this article we will attempt to address the additional issues an investigator faces when attempting to investigate an old or state email address that has been deactivated.

First, what we have to do is find out if the email address we are trying to investigate is still active or has been closed. If the email address we are investigating was opened for the sole purpose of contacting our customer and then closed immediately after sending an email, then it will be difficult to track. But if the account has been used for years, but only recently deleted after sending the offending communication, it can be a very simple investigation. In fact, the email address can be found in an instant database service.

To determine if email is active, you need to test it using one of the many online services that will tell you if email is active. You can also email the account from a fake email account and see if it bounces. Of course, there are many more technical methods you can use, but in this article we cover the basics.

If we have determined that email is inactive, this cuts our investigative techniques in half. Because we can only analyze incoming data from email. In an ideal investigation, we will be investigating the sender’s computer by analyzing the information that we can capture when they open a pretext email that we send to them.

So we will have to analyze the incoming headers and extract the IP address, use geo tracking, IP address location and good Whois to identify the sender’s ISP. We can also investigate the IP address to see if it is associated with any other online activity. But in addition to the IP information, we may be able to inform the sender’s email program, such as Outlook Express.

We can send the email to a database search to see if it has been used online in the past. We can search the deep web, member submission sites, online billing, and payment services to see if the email address has ever been used in a financial transaction. Social networks also have an email search feature to find or add friends.

There are also paid searches like Online Infidelity Investigations and Online Gambling Investigation searches that can track an email to an online gambling site or a secret online personal ad on a dating site. This type of email investigation can actually return a picture of the person behind the email address.

As you can see, it is possible to trace an email and locate or identify the sender even if the email address has been deactivated or removed.

Granite splatter

admin

When designing or remodeling your kitchen, your backsplash is just as important as your countertops as it can help minimize spills and splashes, while improving the overall look of your kitchen.

The importance of a backsplash

While a backsplash isn’t just for looks, it can become an important staple for your kitchen. Whether it’s around the sink or around the entire kitchen, backsplashes can offer a layer of protection that homeowners don’t always think of. Behind the sink or behind the stove, the backsplashes can take a beating from spills and stains that will be easily cleaned. Since granite is virtually non-porous and antibacterial when sealed, a granite backsplash prevents water and other liquids from seeping into the wall, staining it and compromising the integrity of the gypsum board. Over time and continued exposure to liquids, sheetrock can weaken and stain, leaving you with a bigger problem. The granite backsplash can help you avoid that. But they can also bring a delicate and interesting decorative touch to your overall design. Granite backsplashes can be both functional and attractive.

Combine or coordinate?

So, thinking of backsplashes? Want to add a backsplash to your existing granite countertops? If you already have the countertops in place, it can be difficult to determine what the backsplash should look like. Do you match the pimples? Can you do the pimples? How about a matching color? Depending on the availability of your original granite, you may have a hard time matching your countertops exactly. If you know the installer of your countertops, you may be able to hire the same company to install your granite backsplash, so they match perfectly.

However, if you don’t have that information, or maybe you want a unique look, you can coordinate your pimples. No one said your countertops and backsplash have to match precisely. If you are more daring, you may want to add a matching color to give your kitchen a more visual appeal. If your granite countertops are dark, why not try a lighter shade for your backsplash to break up the monotony and create a more open feel. You can invert the colors for a more contemporary look. Either way, you can enhance your overall kitchen design simply by playing with your granite colors.

Before you begin, you should consult a professional granite installation team. They can offer advice on how to combine or coordinate your pimples. It is always best to go with the original installer as they will most likely have the same style and color as your original granite, but it may not always be an option. However, a professional installation team can analyze the overall design and structure of your kitchen and help you determine which granite will meet your needs. They can also customize and install their backsplashes to give you the best possible look.

Hyperloop: traversing cities in the blink of an eye

admin

India is about to revolutionize the way we travel! Hyperloop is the new buzzword that has all Indians excited and teeming with anticipation.

For the uninitiated, it all started in the summer of 2013 with Elon Reeve Musk (Founder – SpaceX, CEO – Tesla & Neuralink, and President – SolarCity & OpenAl) writing a whitepaper where he conceptualized a disruptive transportation technology. He envisioned a capsule-like structure installed inside a vacuum steel tube, covering long distances at supersonic speeds (estimated at nearly 1,200 km / h) using a passive magnetic levitation system as the driving force. Musk explained that this mode of transportation would make daily commutes faster, safer, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

Musk was magnanimous in inviting professionals to further develop his concept and take it to its finest. Two US-based companies jumped on the bandwagon: HyperloopOne and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT). Both companies invited engineers from around the world to be part of the technology development and implementation process. Hyperloop One successfully completed a full-scale test in the Nevada desert on May 12, 2017. However, both companies are only technology providers and will require full support in terms of construction, infrastructure development, and maintenance.

India, with its ever-growing population, rapidly urbanizing and being one of the fastest growing economies on the planet, could be the perfect launch pad for the Hyperloop mass transit system. These companies have shown great interest in the development and implementation of the technology in India, although their approach has been very different. HTT submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Transport in December 2016 and is already in talks with five Indian states to raise funds and connect major Indian cities with a high-speed network. HyperloopOne, on the other hand, invited proposals from around the world asking the engineers to draw up an action plan to make the Hyperloop project feasible in their respective countries. The company is committed to collaborating with the winners on the proposed route and the assured technology transfer. However, the responsibility for government approvals, land acquisition, capital expenditures, and technological development will rest with the participants. Among the semi-finalists are five teams from India, who presented their proposals at the “Vision of India” event, which was honored by prominent dignitaries representing the Government of India.

Despite the avalanche of actions, none of the proposals have been actively initiated by the authorities concerned. Whether the Hyperloop system will soon become a reality or will remain a distant dream is something that only time can tell. However, Hyperloop technology has redefined the way we envision our future mass transit system. The road network of tomorrow, be it Hyperloop or Bullet Trains, will undoubtedly be coveted technologies that will make commuting faster, safer and safer.

Ways to get more followers on Instagram

admin

People who use Instagram always want more followers. If they are new, they want more followers, and if they have been using Instagram for years, they want more followers.

People always want to be popular in real life, and that’s the same on their social media. Instagram is no different and people who have a large following can make a living from their social media.

If you are new to Instagram then it can be a bit intimidating, but you should take your time and have fun. Don’t worry if you only have followers who are your friends in real life. The more you post, the more followers you will get.

Calendar

If you want to be popular on Instagram and you want to keep your following, then you have to post frequently. If you want to take it a little more seriously, stick to a posting calendar, so your followers know when the new image will be updated.

If you have a downtime and don’t post for a while, then your followers can remove you in favor of following someone else. Your friends in real life won’t do this to you, but if you have followers who follow you because they have similar interests, they may stop following you.

Labelled

When you first upload to Instagram, you probably don’t know how to use tags. This is something that is true for everyone, when they started using the website or the app. So don’t think you are alone here.

Even the most popular Instagram user has a first image and if you check their history to find it, it probably won’t have any tags.

However, you must quickly learn that you must tag your images if you want to make more friends. If you don’t tag, the image will only be visible to users who are already on your friends list.

This is because there is nothing attached to the image for it to be searchable. For example, if you tag your image with the word “soccer”, when other users search for “soccer”, the image will appear in search results.

This is how you get more followers. When someone finds your images and is interested in whatever tag it is, they will add you to their friends list because they are interested in seeing more.

Social media

It is possible to find more followers using your other social media platforms. If you link social networks like Twitter and Facebook to your Instagram, the image will be shared there when you post to Instagram.

This way you will get more followers because your labels will also work on those social networks. So, you will get followers with similar interests. You could even attract non-Instagram followers. Your post can be the post that gets them to join Instagram.

Trends

You can also get more followers by looking at hashtag trends and posting an image that suits that trend. For example, if you know that a lot of people post POTD (picture of the day) tags, you can post a picture about that similar trend.

It could be anything you want and a lot of people will see it. Once you have posted with this tag multiple times, you will notice that people who like the photos of the day will start adding you as their friend. Your exposure will have doubled.
