![]() ![]() Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.) Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. When something is special and rare, people might say that it’s “one-in-a-million.” The Macallan 50 Year Old is truly one in a billion and, perhaps, a once in a lifetime experience. There are only 200 bottles available worldwide this year. ![]() And such a special experience must be a rare one too. One might imagine that you are sipping a light whisky-flavored honey. The resulting spirit delivers a richness of mouthfeel that is almost viscous. The specifications are indeed impressive - aged a full fifty years in Spanish ex-sherry casks and bottled at 44% ABV. There are not many distilleries that could manage to produce a fifty-year-old expression at all. Their achievements are numerous, including setting the record price ever paid at auction for a single bottle of scotch - a 60 year-old bottle of The Macallan Valerio Adami distilled in 1926 that sold for nearly US$1 million just this year. ![]() The Macallan has been creating single malt whisky for so long at such a high volume and such a high level that they have what sports teams call a very “deep bench.” Their incredible inventory of rare, aging single malt gives them the ability to pinpoint flavors and special editions for the refined whisky palate that satisfy a huge, global following. Macallan single malts are famous for their classic Speyside style and the heavily sherried influence of their core rage. But just because the British Parliament gerrymandered the “official” boundaries doesn’t mean whiskey-lovers have to pay any attention. A change in UK labeling laws aced them out of their “Speyside” designation. Fortunately, Macallan has achieved this scale without sacrificing quality. About The Macallan 50 Year Old 2018 Releaseįounded in 1824, The Macallan is one of the “Big 3” single malts in Scotland - the other two are Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. ![]()

This sudden erasure, known as “childhood amnesia” may be down to pruning, the …Ĭontinue reading Chimps outperform students in a memory gameĬHIMPANZEES – and young ones at that – have outperformed humans at a cognitive task for the first time. Children recall far more about earlier events in their lives when asked before they are 7 than just a year later. So babies can form memories – a 6-month-old can recall how to do certain tasks for up to three weeks – but holding onto them is tricky.Īs the brain begins to mature, that neural machinery gets more efficient and memories start to stick – until the age of 7, when there’s a sudden dip. ![]() That’s because parts of the brain critical for longer-term memory are still immature. Infants are constantly learning, but only a handful of people have memories from before the age of 2. Here’s your guide to how it really works Why can’t we remember being babies? ![]() Yvaine Ye Master your memory The truth about memory is far more elaborate than we previously thought. The danger comes when this “habit memory” takes over when it isn’t supposed to, which can lead to mistakes like forgetting to drop a child off and leaving them in the car instead. This ability to autopilot can be beneficial, freeing up attention for more important things. The brain no longer encodes the details of a repeated behaviour, so while you remember how to lock the door, there’s no specific memory of when you last did it. ![]() Hang, on – you just left the house, but did you lock the door? When it comes to these habitual behaviours, your body knows what to do without the need for conscious thought. Why can’t we remember being babies? Does closing your eyes help you recall? Why can’t I remember what I did 5 seconds ago? What is photographic memory? And more MIND 24 October 2018īy Yvaine Ye and Tiffany O’Callaghan Hans Neleman/Getty Why can’t I remember what I did 5 seconds ago? Yvaine Ye MORE ON PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY Memory FAQ: Answers to the common questions that baffle us all For example, someone may be able to continue to “see” a picture they have been shown for 30 seconds, even a few minutes after the picture is removed. Eidetic memory is the ability to vividly recall an image you are exposed to, but only briefly. The idea of an eidetic memory is similar to that of a photographic memory, but the two are not exactly the same. Results from one study suggest that people with HSAM are no better at acquiring memories – they are not superior learners – but are simply better at retaining memories. Doctors have yet to understand what exactly is happening in the brains of individuals with HSAM, and tests reveal there is no particular ability that appears to underpin the condition. Their memories are exceptional, but certainly not as perfect as actual photographs. For example, they may be able to tell you what they ate for lunch on (and that it was a Saturday). People with HSAM can recall past events in great detail, along with the exact dates when they occurred. Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM) is a condition that has been identified in fewer than 100 people worldwide. And some people do have better visual memory than others. Generally, we’re better at remembering what we’ve seen than what we’ve heard. Although many people claim that they have it, we still don’t have proof that it actually exists. Photographic memory is the ability to recall a past scene in detail with great accuracy – just like a photograph. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its huge silhouette made it easy pickings for German anti-tank guns. The size and horrible mobility did not serve it well on the battlefield. ![]() The 152mm howitzer packed a powerful punch against armored vehicles, but it was an impractical weapon that was more well suited for the anti-position role, but it proved quite ineffective at that as well. Here it proved semi effective, but early on problems had arisen. The first combat action that the KV-2 saw was in the Winter War against Finland. The KV-2 was first developed in 1939-1940 and in just two weeks, prototypes had already been produced. The next variant produced was the flame version which utilized the large size of the turret to store fuel for a flamethrower on board. The first variant of the KV-2 series was the KV-2B which was upgraded model fitted with the KV-1B chassis and was also given an additional 35 mm of armor to the turret for crew protection. Furthermore, even if the vehicle could keep running, it was incredibly slow and the ill designed turret proved to be too large a target. Though, even the same thick armor as the KV-1 Heavy Tank before it could not save the mechnically unstable KV-2. Armor protection on the vehicle could be as much as 110 mm in some places. The vehicle was 6.8 meters long, and weighed 48,800 kilograms. The KV-2 had a top speed of 25.5 kilometers per hour, which was provided by a W-2 engine. The KV-2 also had a 5 speed forward, 1 speed reverse transmission system. It was also armed with three DT machine guns. It was based on the chassis of the KV-1 Heavy Tank, with a large M1938 Howitzer (152mm) replacing its main gun. ![]() ![]() ( Source)Īpart from that, a new Cold War bug is reportedly resulting in users having to download over 200 GB of data.
