How can you prepare for a longer airplane flight with children?
|
Taking longer airplane flights with children can be stressful. With some planning you can alleviate some of the stress and keep yourself and your children ready for the journey. In preparation for your trip make sure that you cover the basics of food, hydration, entertainment and comfort. Food: While most longer flights will offer refreshments, not all flights have full meal options available. Prepare by eating a meal before getting on the plane and by packing a range of snack options for you and your children. Hydration: You will likely be served refreshments and drinks several times during longer flights. However you will likely find that you will need to bring additional water and drink options to ensure proper hydrations, especially on very long flights. Entertainment: You want to make sure that your children can engage in plenty of activities on long flights. Most airlines will provide for games, movies and music options via on board entertainment. However, you want to make sure you supplement by bringing additional entertainment options for your children. Comfort: Your plane can be too cold or too warm for your preferences, so be prepared for both scenarios.

I bought a new shirt online but I changed my mind. How can I return it?
|
If you are looking to return your shirt, you should first check the seller's website to see how many days after your order they will accept returns. You might be able to initiate a return on the website or you might need to contact customer support to start the process. The website should provide you instructions for making the return and some websites will provide a postage label you can print. Depending on the company, you might be able to return the shirt in a physical store, or mail it back to the company for a refund. If you try contacting customer support and they do not respond or they refuse to take back the shirt, you can try contacting your credit card provider and asking them to initiate a chargeback.

How did Draymond Green's minutes increase over time?
|
Green was selected with the 35th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors. On July 30, 2012, he signed a three-year, $2.6 million contract with the Warriors. In his NBA debut in the Warriors' season opener on October 31 against the Phoenix Suns, Green played one minute, made one defensive rebound, and committed one foul. Green gradually received more playing time in subsequent games, especially in the wake of injuries to Brandon Rush and Richard Jefferson. After getting only marginal floor time at the beginning of the season, by November 22, Green was playing 15–20 minutes per game, and by December 9, as Green gained a bigger role on the team, the Warriors had won 8 of 10 games. On December 12, Green made the winning layup with 0.9 seconds left in the Warriors' 97–95 win over the defending champion Miami Heat.

It is considered a great honor to be invited to live on The Lawn, and 54 fourth-year undergraduates do so each year, joining ten members of the faculty who permanently live and teach in the Pavilions there. Similarly, graduate students may live on The Range. Edgar Allan Poe formerly lived in 13 West Range, and since 1904 the Raven Society has retrofitted and preserved his room much as it may have existed in the 1820s.

What are the types of space objects ?
|
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) classifies objects in the Solar system into 3 categories :
1. Planet : a celestial body orbiting the Sun, with enough mass to assume a (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium shape, and that has "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit,
2. Dwarf planet : a celestial body orbiting the Sun, with enough mass to assume a (nearly round) hydrostatic equilibrium shape, but that has not "cleared the neighbourhood" around its orbit and is not a satellite,
3. Small Solar System Bodies : all other objects orbiting the sun that are not satellites.
Small Solar System Bodies of the Solar system include :
- Moons : celestial bodies that orbit a planet or a dwarf planet,
- Asteroids : rocky non-spherical left-over objects from the early formation of the Solar system. They travel around the sun and most of them are located within the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter,
- Comets : icy bodies that can also contain minerals, rocks and dust left over from the formation of the solar system. They travel around the sun and can be found mostly beyond Neptune in the Kuiper Belt, as well as far beyond Pluto in the Oort cloud,
- Meteoroids : objects in space that often come from other larger bodies such as comets, asteroids or even moons and planets. Meteoroids can be rocky, others can be metallic, or combinations of both. Their sizes range from dust grains to small asteroids.

Is water wet?
|
When water comes into direct contact with other things, the other things become wet. Water as we experience it is not a singular entity, rather a collection of a large number of water molecules. The water molecules touch other water molecules, and as previously established, when water touches other things, the other things become wet. Therefore, because there is a point of contact between water molecules (a strong polar bond in this case), water is wet.

What is OEE in manufacturing?
|
OEE stands for Overall Equipment Effectiveness. OEE is computed by multiplying machine availability, process efficiency and product quality.
In manufacturing, the OEE metric is used by different teams for a variety of objectives. On the manufacturing shop floor, for instance, OEE is used to identify lagging processes. Business executives on the other hand may use aggregated values to monitor the overall performance of their manufacturing business. In addition, OEE is used as an indicator to evaluate the need to modernize equipment, i.e. to justify CAPEX investments and to monitor the return on invested capital (ROIC). In this instance, OEE is used as the metric for sweating assets.

Can AI systems fall in love?
|
AI, unlike humans, has no emotions or feelings. It does, however, have the unique ability to perceive and analyze human sentiments from vast amounts of data on which it has been trained. It can even outperform humans when it comes to mimicking and reproducing these emotions in a more efficient and effective manner. While AI does not experience emotions in the same way that humans do, it is still capable of understanding and replicating them in a remarkable and unprecedented way.

What is better Android or iphone
|
The answer to whether Android or iphone (iOS) is better is really down to user preference. The Android operating system is more open and is used by multiple phone manufacturers catering to different tastes and price points. iOS is a more closed system only utilized by Apple, which tends to be more secure and efficient. However, this offers fewer choices of handsets for purchasers. Ultimately the choice between Android and iOS will come down to whether the purchaser is willing to pay the price of an iPhone or prefers the handsets offered on Android.

My daughter's friend is lactose intolerant. What foods should we avoid when we take out to eat with us?
|
You'll want to look out for anything that contains milk, butter, cream, buttermilk, cheese, or ice cream. This means pizza is off the table (it almost always has cheese), and much Italian cuisine like lasagna or alfredo sauces must be avoided. You also need to be careful about fried foods, because batters often contain milk or buttermilk. Ask about the ingredients of bread, as these can contain butter: croissants typically do. Even salads can be a concern, because many restaurants will add cheese as a topping, even without listing cheese on the menu. Desserts are also problematic, because chocolate nearly always contains milk, as do most ice creams. Look for vegan products where you can, such as vegan cheeses and vegan ice cream, which can be delicious.

Explain in few words how traditional exploratory data analysis (in statistics) is different from machine learning?
|
An important general difference in the focus and purpose between machine learning and the traditional Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is that machine learning is more oriented towards applications than explaining the basic nature of the underlying phenomena. Machine Learning is relatively less concerned with identifying the specific relations between the involved variables. For example, uncovering the nature of the underlying functions or the specific types of interactive, multivariate dependencies between variables are not the main goal of machine learning. Instead, the focus is on producing a solution that can generate useful predictions. Machine Learning accepts among others a "black box" type approach to data exploration or knowledge discovery and uses not only the traditional Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques, but also such techniques as Neural Networks which can generate valid predictions but are not capable of identifying the specific nature of the interrelations between the variables on which the predictions are based.

How do I keep my plants alive?
|
To keep your plants alive you will first need to understand what type of nutrition and environment is best suited for them. For environment, some plants prefer full sun, whereas some prefer partial or full shade. There's also humidity and temperature to consider. For nutrition, determine what types or food and how much water to provide at what frequency. You can usually find this information by consulting plant expert resources online or at your local library. Once you understand the ideal climate and nutrition for your plant, adjust the climate to best suit it, while following the ideal schedule for feeding and watering. Also, once the plant outgrows the pot it is in, it's time to move it to a bigger pot. This should keep your plant happy and healthy.

What do Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David have to say about Seinfeld being called "a show about nothing"?
|
The series was often described as "a show about nothing." However, in 2014, Seinfeld stated: "The pitch for the show, the real pitch, when Larry and I went to NBC in 1988, was we want to show how a comedian gets his material. The show about nothing was just a joke in an episode many years later, and Larry and I to this day are surprised that it caught on as a way that people describe the show, because to us it's the opposite of that." David similarly commented: "I like taking the worst qualities that a person has and trying to make something funny out of it. Doesn’t everybody do terrible things and have terrible thoughts? Just by trying to be as funny, you’re going to deal with a lot of things that are real, so the show’s really about something. The whole thing about the show being about nothing is ridiculous." Much of the show's humor is based upon repeated use of irony, incongruity and (oftentimes unfortunate) coincidences.

Who is the greatest college football quarterback of all time?
|
Different people have different opinions when ranking college football players. Both individual and team metrics are considered when determining the best quarterback. Key individual metrics include individual passing metrics (such as passer rating, number of passing yards, and number of touchdowns thrown) and individual awards won (such as the Heisman trophy). Key team metrics include the team's win percentage with the individual as the starting quarterback and the number of conference and nation championships won. A quarterback that excels at passing the football and running the football is commonly referred to as a "dual threat" quarterback. Individual rushing statistics may also be considered when determining their rankings. Many people consider Sam Bradford, Matt Leinart, and Peyton Manning to be among the best pure passing quarterbacks in college football history. Many people consider Cam Newton, Vince Young, and Johnny Manziel to be among the best dual threat quarterbacks in college football history. Opinions vary, but many people consider Tim Tebow to be the greatest college football quarterback of all-time due to his individual accomplishments, his team's accomplishments and revolutionary offensive play style, and his popularity amongst fans and the sports media.

Grove Park Sidings is a large stabling complex for suburban commuter trains in Lewisham, South East London. It is situated approximately halfway between Hither Green Station and Grove Park station.
Grove Park Sidings were previously named Hither Green Sidings, until sidings closer to Hither Green were built and took that name, causing the site to be renamed Grove Park Sidings.
It consists of two sets of sidings, one on either side of the Main line which are linked by a pedestrian footbridge. On the Down side are Bramdean sidings and the large carriage shed, whilst on the Up side are St Mildreds sidings. There is also a carriage washing plant on the inlet road of Down sidings.

A composer who mainly wrote works with an American subject, his music is generally characterized by lyricism in a popular or conservative style which generally eschewed the more experimental progressive trends of musical modernism. Composer Virgil Thomson described Moore as a neoromantic composer who was influenced by American folk music. While several of his works enjoyed popularity during his lifetime, only his folk opera The Ballad of Baby Doe (1956) has remained well known into the 21st century.

Brainstorm what is the best virtual cycling platform ?
|
There are multiple cycling platforms to choose from, each with their own pro’s and con’s.
Wahoo System is great for people who want to follow a dedicated training plan, and select from a large list of predefined workouts. Users can also ride content from RGT thanks to Wahoo’s acquisition of the company. Wahoo system is aimed at what is defined as “time crunched athletes, and uses a 4 dimensional power profile, rather than the FTP (Functional Threshold Power) that other systems use.
Zwift is one of the oldest virtual cycling system, and is based on a social experience that allows riders to communicate with others nearby, do group rides, workouts and Races. Zwift was not the first to introduce many of the virtual riding concepts, but the platform gained thousands of users during the covid-19 pandemic, and capitalised on the professional esports arena as well.
Zwift uses a more game-like graphical system, with multiple worlds that users can ride, with a monthly calendar changing the available worlds to ride it. Zwit also has a comprehensive workout catalog.
Rouvy is a cycling platform that contains many of the features already mentioned, but it uses real world videos, with rider avatars superimposed over the top (Augmented Reality). This gives you the feeling of actually riding the location you have selected, while seeing your vital statistics in the heads-up display.
BKool is another software company offering many of the features that have been described in Zwift and Rouvy.
FulGaz is a newer platform that offers real video riding in high definition, and allows riders to upload their own videos to the community.
If you are looking for a riding app that allows you to ride and meet other people, group ride and just enjoy your time on the bike, then Zwift is a good choice to make. If you are looking for some serious training, with detailed fitness reporting, the Wahoo systems would make a lot of sense. If you want some serious training, but also want the experience of riding in real locations around the world, the Rouvy is the one to try.
Each system requires a subscription to ride.

It could be your battery, especially if you have left a light on overnight, or had the key in auxiliary mode for sometime as both of those will drain even a new batter in a short amount of time. If your battery is new you may be able to have it charged, but if your battery is older than 3 years you will probably need a new battery.

Who is Harry Potter?
|
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The novels chronicle the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main story arc concerns Harry's conflict with Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal, overthrow the wizard governing body known as the Ministry of Magic and subjugate all wizards and Muggles (non-magical people).
The series follows the life of a boy named Harry Potter. In the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry lives in a cupboard under the stairs in the house of the Dursleys, his aunt, uncle and cousin, Dudley. The Dursleys consider themselves perfectly normal, but at the age of 11, Harry discovers that he is a wizard. He meets a half-giant named Hagrid who invites him to attend the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry learns that as a baby, his parents were murdered by the dark wizard Lord Voldemort. When Voldemort attempted to kill Harry, his curse rebounded and Harry survived with a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.
Harry becomes a student at Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor House. He gains the friendship of Ron Weasley, a member of a large but poor wizarding family, and Hermione Granger, a witch of non-magical, or Muggle, parentage. Harry encounters the school's potions master, Severus Snape, who displays a dislike for him; the rich pure-blood Draco Malfoy whom he develops an enmity with; and the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Quirinus Quirrell, who turns out to be allied with Lord Voldemort. The first book concludes with Harry's confrontation with Voldemort, who, in his quest to regain a body, yearns to gain the power of the Philosopher's Stone, a substance that bestows everlasting life.

What is the difference between UI design, UX design and Product design?
|
While all of these types of design are related, there are several key differences. UI design focuses on the actual visual design of an experience and the look and feel of the controls. UX design is all about the actual flows, steps or scenarios that the experience is addressing. The order of the flow, the type of controls used, and how related various elements are to each other. Product design goes one step deeper, and asks the question of if the experience is solving the right problems for users, or addressing actual user needs.

What is a good way to start a garden bed in my backyard?
|
Double digging your garden bed can yield great results. Take a shovel and dig one blade length into the soil and set that to the side. Then dig out a second blade length into the soil and set this portion to the side as well. Put the first portion back into the hole you've dug and then place the second portion on the top. By following this method, you can exchange the subsoil and topsoil. Alternatively, you can build a raised garden bed using wood or other material you have hand like corrugated metal. A raised garden bed should have sides that are about 1 - 3 feet high although you can vary this based on your needs. Fill the garden bed with soil mix from your local garden store or from other areas of your yard. Once the garden bed is filled, you can begin planting. Finally, you can use a sheet mulching method to start a garden bed in your backyard. Take thick cardboard or several sheets of a heavy paper material and lay it down on top of a grassy area in your backyard. You want to make sure that the cardboard or paper is overlapped so that it blocks all light to soil and grass underneath it. Once you have finished laying down your material to block the light, spread compost on top so it is three to six inches deep. You can plant into this compost layer. As a final layer, place one to three inches of mulch or straw on top to protect your compost layer.

What is the ranking of poker hands from strongest to weakest that you can make with a regular deck of 52 cards and five cards total?
|
The ranking of poker hands with 52 regular playing cards is:
1) A Royal Flush - this hand consists of ten, jack, queen, king and ace of a single suit (e.g. ten, jack, queen, king, ace, all of spades)
2) A Straight Flush - this hand consists of five consecutive cards in a single suit. The ace counts as either the highest or lowest, but not both at the same time. (e.g. five, six, seven, eight, nine, all of hearts)
3) Four-of-a-kind - this hand contains four of the same card (e.g. four tens)
4) Full house - Three-of-a-kind of the same card, and a pair of a different card. (e.g. three sevens and two jacks)
5) Flush - Five cards of the same suits (e.g. five spades)
6) Straight - Five consecutive cards, where the ace can count as either the highest or lowest card, but not both at the same time (e.g. ace, two, three, four, five).
7) Three-of-a-kind - this hand contains three of the same card (e.g. three sevens)
8) Two pair - this hand contains two sets of two cards that are the same (e.g. two fives and two queens)
9) One pair - this hand contains one set of two cards that are the same (e.g. two tens)
10) High card - this hand contains none of the other options, and just has a high card.
For all poker hands, if they are of the same ranking, then one has to look at the height of the cards themselves to determine the strongest hand. A full house of three aces and two tens is stronger than a full house of three kings and two tens. At the same time, three kings and two tens beats three tens and two aces, because the kings are stronger.

Who is the greatest physicist of all time?
|
There have been many great physicists over the years, and while it's not possible to say with certainty who was the 'greatest', Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein are very strong contenders for that title.
Isaac Newton (1642-1746) was an English physicist and mathematician most famous for inventing calculus, classical mechanics. His three laws of classical mechanics successfully predicted the behavior of solid bodies across all observable scales - from the motion of planets to falling apples. For over 250 years his laws were applied with greater and greater precision, always giving the correct answers.
However, in the late 1800s physicists struggled to reconcile measurements of the speed of light with Newton's laws. This one of the observations that led to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) was a German-born physicist who revolutionized our understanding of space, time and matter with his theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. His theories of special and general relativity changed our understanding of space and time and successfully explained the motion of light and the behavior of gravity. His theories of quantum mechanics likewise revolutionized our understand of the sub-atomic world.
In addition to Newton and Einstein there are many other physicists who made groundbreaking discoveries, including Galileo Galilei, James Clerk Maxwell, Marie Curie, Neils Bohr, Richard Feynman, and Stephen Hawking.

Define judicial review and explain John Marshall’s role in establishing judicial review.
|
Judicial review is a power the courts have to declare that a federal or state law violates the Constitution thereby nullifying the law making it enforceable. Just before President Adams left office he appointed new justices of the peace for Washington D.C., Jefferson, the next President refused to deliver the commissions. This led to the case Marbury vs Madison. The basis of the case was that the Judiciary Act of 1789 allowed for the appointed to request a court order to grant their appointments with original jurisdiction given to the Supreme Court. John Marshall saw that siding with Jefferson would make it seem like the Supreme Court was his lackey. If they sided with Adams, there was no way to make Jefferson enforce the ruling. Both decisions would reduce the Supreme Court's legitimacy. John Marshall side-stepped this problem by striking down the Judiciary Act on the grounds that it was unconstitutional. This was the establishment of judicial review, a Supreme Court power that was only hinted at in the Constitution.

Given the reference text about the marathon, who currently holds the men's record in the marathon?
|
World records were not officially recognized by the IAAF until 1 January 2004; previously, the best times for the marathon were referred to as the 'world best'. Courses must conform to IAAF standards for a record to be recognized. However, marathon routes still vary greatly in elevation, course, and surface, making exact comparisons impossible. Typically, the fastest times are set over relatively flat courses near sea level, during good weather conditions and with the assistance of pacesetters.
The current world record time for men over the distance is 2 hours 1 minute and 09 seconds, set in the Berlin Marathon by Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya on 25 September 2022, an improvement of 30 seconds over the previous record also set in the Berlin Marathon by Eliud Kipchoge, on 16 September 2018.
The world record for women was set by Brigid Kosgei of Kenya in the Chicago Marathon on 13 October 2019, in 2 hours 14 minutes and 4 seconds who broke the record Paula Radcliffe of Great Britain had set over 16 years earlier at the London Marathon.

If Gretzky never scored a single goal in his career, he still would have recorded 11 straight 100-point seasons and won four league-scoring titles. Also, in addition to winning eight Stanley Cups, Wayne's teams never missed the playoffs throughout his 20-year career.

In fact teenagers who seem to be disappointing their parents are merely going through the healthy process of self identification.

With this paragraph on Austen Hurgon's biography, what movies did he direct before My Mimosa Maid?
|
Hurgon began his theatre career with the supporting rôle of Alberto in the musical Miss Wingrove (1905), with songs by Howard Talbot, which Hurgon produced and directed for Frank Curzon, for whom he next directed The White Chrysanthemum (1905) and The Girl Behind the Counter (1906). Following these successes Hurgon became the director at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London where, when Paul Rubens was indisposed due to ill health while working on Miss Hook of Holland, Hurgon quickly replaced him and finished writing the book and directed the play. Miss Hook was another success, and he moved on to direct My Mimosa Maid (1908) for Curzon. However, The Three Kisses (1907) at the Apollo Theatre and My Mimosa Maid failed, and his association with Curzon ended, his management having lasted for just four performances of the latter piece. Next Hurgon directed The Hon'ble Phil (1908) and Kitty Grey (1909) with music by Talbot at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York. For C. H. Workman he took over the management of and directed the failing musical Two Merry Monarchs (1910) at the Strand Theatre, the last piece that can be considered a Savoy opera.

Why do leaves on houseplants turn yellow and brown?
|
Often houseplant leaves turn yellow and brown for a few common reasons. First is overwatering. Houseplants are kept in containers that can retain water which can lead to root rot if not watered carefully. Some houseplants prefer the soil to dry out between waterings and many home gardeners end up watering before the soil has dried up sufficiently. Too much water in a container can lead to root rot which first can show symptoms in browning, dropping, and yellowing of leaves. Another reason for leaf discoloration is under watering as some plants prefer the soil to have a level of moisture at all times. Other reasons include too little sunlight which limits the plants ability to photosynthesize. Also, even too much sunlight can cause burned leaves.

Given these paragraphs about Asperger syndrome, after whom it was named?
|
Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's, is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behaviour and interests. The syndrome is no longer recognised as a diagnosis in itself, having been merged with other conditions into autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It was considered to differ from other diagnoses that were merged into ASD by relatively unimpaired spoken language and intelligence.
The syndrome was named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger, who, in 1944, described children in his care who struggled to form friendships, did not understand others' gestures or feelings, engaged in one-sided conversations about their favourite interests, and were clumsy. In 1994, the diagnosis of Asperger's was included in the fourth edition (DSM-IV) of the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders; however, with the publication of DSM-5 in 2013 the syndrome was removed, and the symptoms are now included within autism spectrum disorder along with classic autism and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). It was similarly merged into autism spectrum disorder in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as of 2021.
The exact cause of Asperger's is poorly understood. While it has high heritability, the underlying genetics have not been determined conclusively. Environmental factors are also believed to play a role. Brain imaging has not identified a common underlying condition. There is no single treatment, and the UK's National Health Service (NHS) guidelines suggest that 'treatment' of any form of autism should not be a goal, since autism is not 'a disease that can be removed or cured'. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, while co-occurring conditions might require treatment, 'management of autism itself is chiefly about the provision of the education, training and social support/care required to improve the person's ability to function in the everyday world'. The effectiveness of particular interventions for autism is supported by only limited data. Interventions may include social skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, parent training, and medications for associated problems, such as mood or anxiety. Autistic characteristics tend to become less obvious in adulthood, but social and communication difficulties usually persist.

What are the four major subregions in Central Otago?
|
"The Central Otago wine region is broken into multiple sub-regions, each with its own climate and characteristics.
Bannockburn is a small Geographical Indication on the southern banks of the Kawarau River near Cromwell and is a very warm area that was known by gold miners as ""the Heart of the Desert"". Grapes ripen early on sandy, silty loam soils. The elevation ranges from 220 to 370 metres (720 to 1,210 ft).
Bendigo lies east of the Clutha River / Mata-Au and Lake Dunstan, with grapes planted at both medium elevation (220 metres (720 ft)) and high elevation terraces (330 to 350 metres (1,080 to 1,150 ft)). This warm area has semi arid soils at variable depths, with free draining soils at the lower levels and shallower soils at higher elevations. The Bendigo sub-region includes the vineyards at Tarras and Maori Point.
Gibbston is a tight valley enclosed by mountainous terrain. About 250 hectares of vines are planted on sloping land on the southern bank of the Kawarau River. Gibbston is the coolest and highest of the sub-regions with vineyards between 320 and 420 metres (1,050 and 1,380 ft) altitude. It is sometimes referred to as the Queenstown subregion.
Wānaka, the smallest of the sub-regions, has vineyards planted between the banks of Lake Wānaka and the town of Luggate to the east. Ranging between 290 to 320 metres (950 to 1,050 ft) above sea level, the vineyards have a similar but slightly warmer climate than those at Gibbston.
The Alexandra Basin is surrounded by the Clutha River / Mata-Au and Manuherikia River and regularly records New Zealand's hottest summer temperatures. Schist outcrops dominate the arid landscape. A wide diurnal shift moderates the high temperatures.
The Cromwell Basin contains the highest concentration of vines, in an area bounded by the Kawarau River, Lake Dunstan and the Pisa mountain range. It is a warm district characterised by semi arid, high terraces and moraines and gently sloping fans."

How is a distiller used?
|
A distiller is used in the production of alcohol or hard liquor. It works by using heat to cause evaporation and condensation with a source substance. If you take water for example, distilling happens when you heat the water and then it evaporates into steam and then the steam is re-condensed. This re-condensed steam is distilled water. This same process can be applied to other raw foods than have been fermenting to produce clear alcohol.

"Scandoval" is a term coined to describe the interpersonal relationship drama between multiple cast members on the reality show Vanderpump Rules (VPR). It combines the word "scandal" with the surname of the main perpetrator, Tom Sandoval. Tom Sandoval, a sometime bartender and longtime cast member on VPR, had an affair on his girlfriend of 8 years, fellow bartender and cast member Ariana Maddox, with Raquel Leviss. Leviss is a VPR cast member, former beauty queen, and most notably, one of Ariana's closest friends. The scandal shocked cast members and VPR fans alike, primarily due to the unforeseen nature of the affair, as well as Tom and Raquel's lack of remorse for their behavior. The drama became so nationally amplified that even celebrities - from model Chrissy Teigen to SNL's Aidy Bryant - and fashion brands - including bag brand Beis - made public comments regarding it.
