![]() I am working with (wine critic) Antonio Galloni in Napa and Sonoma as well. Hyland: How many different wine zones have you mapped in Italy? And now Napa Valley as well, correct? Still, it was not immediate – only a portion of producers and wine lovers thought it was very important. By 20, when I made them again in a smaller format and inserted them in my publication Enogea, the reaction was very different. So there was no interest in the maps at first. The producers saw the map and said nothing. They were hanging on the walls at VinItaly. Masnaghetti: In 1994, nobody wanted maps. Hyland: What has been the reaction of producers when they see your maps? Map of the Barolo commune created by Alessandro Masnaghetti Map courtesy of Alessandro Masnaghetti To make the maps, you have to be well organized. How to manage all this information I have collected all these years is the challenge. If you know the producer and what they think of the vineyards, it gives you a better understanding of the region. Making the maps helps me better understand what the producer is telling you and the mentality of the producer. There is always something I am discovering. Masnaghetti: I have learned so many things, But I have not finished. Hyland: What specific things have you learned from creating these maps that have helped you understand the Barolo and Barbaresco zone or other appellations? It’s about the knowledge you build during your life, tasting wine and talking with the producers. To produce those explanatory texts, you have to know the region, and about the wine culture. What is important is the explanation you find on the back of the map. What is important is to create a wine map that talks to a wine lover. Everyone can draw a map if they have the graphic software. Making a wine map is not only drawing roads. I starrted with the satellite imagery you can find on the map. Hyland: Can you talk about the process you have in creating maps, or is this a secret? In 1989, within 6 to 7 months, I changed my work to being a wine taster. During the second half of the 1980s, my passion for wine began to grow and became more important than food. But for an interest in food, you need to learn about wine. My dream was to become a pasticcere (pastry chef). I loved to go to restaurants, I loved to cook. At the beginning my passion was not wine, but food. Hyland: When did you first start to enjoy wine, especially Barolo? If it was good, then I would publish maps in a larger format. I inserted the maps in my newsletter Enogea in a smaller size, and waited to see what the reaction would be. Veronelli was very happy with the project and printed 3000-4000 copies, but we only sold 20-30 copies! So I waited more than ten years to create other maps, starting again in 20. ![]() I created my first map for him at that time, which was a map of the communes of Barbaresco. Masnaghetti: It was in 1994, when I was working for Luigi Veronelli (a famed Italian wine critic). It does not store any personal data.Hyland: When did you first become interested in creating vineyard maps of Italy?

It is not always clear, to an observer, or the individuals themselves, if they hold a particular freedom to engage in a given behavior. More specifically, behaviors may be explained as "what one does (or doesn't do)", "how one does something", or "when one does something". For a behavior to be free, the individual must have the relevant physical and psychological abilities to partake in it, and must know they can engage in it at the moment, or in the near future. Reactance theory assumes there are "free behaviors" individuals perceive and can take part in at any given moment. When the freedom is completely eliminated, reactance becomes maximal, as the lost freedom becomes more desirable. Reactance in this case is now the manifestation of the behaviors aimed to restore freedom. In this theory, with the removal of freedom, an individual will attempt to restore said freedom. Reactance theory aims to understand motive behind behaviors when freedom is threatened or eliminated. The theory of psychological reactance specifies what is considered a freedom, how said freedom can be taken away or threatened, and how the psychological reactance will manifest itself. ![]() Use of a "respectful, reflective approach" described in motivational interviewing and applied as motivational enhancement therapy, rather than by argumentation, the accusation of "being in denial", and direct confrontations, lead to the motivation to change and avoid the resistance and denial, or reactance, elicited by strong direct confrontation. Miller, "Research demonstrates that a counselor can drive resistance (denial) levels up and down dramatically according to his or her personal counseling style". Reactance also explains denial as it is encountered in addiction counselling. Freedom is not an abstract consideration, but rather a feeling associated with real behaviors, including actions, emotions, and attitudes. There are four important elements to reactance theory: perceived freedom, threat to freedom, reactance, and restoration of freedom. Because this motivational state is a result of the perceived reduction of one's freedom of action, it is considered a counterforce, and thus is called "psychological reactance". The fear of loss of further freedoms can spark this arousal and motivate them to re-establish the threatened freedom. It is assumed that if a person's behavioral freedom is threatened or reduced, they become motivationally aroused. Psychological reactance is "an unpleasant motivational arousal that emerges when people experience a threat to or loss of their free behaviors." An individual's freedom to select when and how to conduct their behavior, and the level to which they are aware of the relevant freedom-and are able to determine behaviors necessary to satisfy that freedom-affect the generation of psychological reactance. Some individuals are naturally high in reactance, a personality characteristic called trait reactance. Reactance can occur when an individual senses that someone is trying to compel them to do something often the individual will offer resistance and attempt to extricate themselves from the situation. Some individuals might employ reverse psychology in a bid to exploit reactance for their benefit, in an attempt to influence someone to choose the opposite of what is being requested. Reactance can encourage an individual to adopt or strengthen a view or attitude which is indeed contrary to that which was intended - which is to say, to a response of noncompliance - and can also increase resistance to persuasion. Reactance can occur when someone is heavily pressured into accepting a certain view or attitude. Reactance occurs when an individual feels that an agent is attempting to limit one's choice of response and/or range of alternatives. In psychology, reactance is an unpleasant motivational reaction to offers, persons, rules, or regulations that threaten or eliminate specific behavioral freedoms. ![]() ![]() If you have any trouble, please let me know in the comments below.

Note that about half the time, there's nothing to see, because the ISS is on the dark side of the Earth. Switch between the two views using the button at the bottom left. There are currently two live feeds: The HDEV exterior feed and an ISS webcam feed which changes depending on what's going on aboard the station, and sometimes shows the astronauts at work. I've fallen in love with it: Due to the speed of low Earth orbit, there's always something new to see, and a gorgeous sunrise/sunset every 45 minutes. This makes it possible to set your desktop background or screensaver to this feed, so you can have the same office view as the astronauts aboard the ISS. Since April 2014, NASA has been streaming high-definition live video of the Earth's surface from the International Space Station. Here are instructions how to enable JavaScript in your web browser.

These paints were used on the dials of clocks and watches to make them glow-in-the-dark. When radium was discovered in the early 1900s, people were fascinated by its mysterious glow and it was added to many everyday products, including paints. Radium is one type of radioactive material that could be found in antiques. Glow-in-the-dark paint is now made without radioactive material, but in the early 1900s radioactive materials were used to make paint that glowed. ![]() Various clocks and watches are pictured with glowing numbers on their faces, due to radium’s glowing properties. However, it can register on a hand-held Geiger counter if the object is close enough to the monitor. The amount of radiation these items emit is small. Radioactive antiques can continue to emit very low-levels of radiation for thousands of years, if not longer. Cloisonné jewelry gets some of its yellow, orange and off-white colors from small amounts of uranium in the glaze.It also makes the glass glow bright green under a black light. This gives the glass its yellow-green color. ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() The FM Zone includes a huge range of algorithm presets and also lets you design your own. All of the existing sampling/synthesis options have been given new features, but perhaps the highlight of this release are two additional synthesis engines the FM Zone and Spectral Zone. HALion instruments can be built from a single layer using just one of these engines, or from multiple layers, either of the same engine or a mixture of engines. Each of these has its own ‘zone’ (sub‑window) of dedicated controls. ![]() Whether for creating your own sounds from scratch, or playing back sounds created by others, HALion already offered comprehensive sample‑based instrument construction options as well as individual engines for virtual analogue, wavetable and granular synthesis. Yes, if you just want to load a preset or three, make some modest tweaks and get playing, then you can, but with a PDF Operation Manual running to nearly 700 pages, don’t expect to master all that HALion7’s interface has to offer without putting some time in. well, there are plenty of them! There is no hiding that HALion 7 is a deep application and virtually every sub‑window/panel offers a multitude of controls to explore. Optimisation of the UI is important because, as shown in the screenshots, when it comes to the collection of available sub‑windows or panels required to house all of HALion 7’s extensive functionality. The MediaBay has also been overhauled to provide an improved browsing and searching process, making it easier to fine‑tune your selections, whether for presets, multis or sound layers. On this front, there are detailed changes in virtually every area of the software improved menu layouts, greater control over the layout, size and arrangements of sub‑windows, and workspace presets that can be configured for different workflows/tasks. However, more obvious to existing HALion users will be a refresh of many parts of the UI. So, what’s new in the full version? Well, in the background, Steinberg have added support for Apple Silicon and dongle‑free licensing. ![]() As we will see in a moment, that’s an impressive collection so, if your level of sound design only goes as far as tweaking existing presets (which HALion Sonic most certainly lets you do), and you don’t want to dig deeper into the sound‑design process, this might be an attractive option. Second, the new HALion Sonic 7 Collection (priced at £214 $249.99) bundles the free player with all of the current instruments supplied with the full version of HALion 7. First, HALion Sonic 7 itself is available as a free‑to‑download product. Additionally, alongside the full, flagship product, they have introduced two new HALion Sonic options. The core purpose remains the same but there are plenty of new and revised features within the latest release. Steinberg have now launched HALion 7, some six years after its predecessor. With a good selection of sound expansion packs available, either HALion or HALion Sonic can provide a front‑end to an expansive sonic palette that crosses a wide range of musical genres. These tools are suitable for the keen DIY sound designer to build their own unique sounds but, via the Macro and Library Creator options, also allow developers to produce unique front‑end designs and commercial library expansion packs for the HALion or HALion Sonic platforms (HALion’s more compact offspring that provides ‘player only’ functions but with plenty of options for editing preset sounds). As well as playback and performance features, HALion also provides a substantial set of tools for creating your own instruments using samples, synthesis or a combination of both. It can run as a stand‑alone instrument, or in any DAW as a plug‑in (VST3, AAX and AU formats are supported). HALion is the flagship item on this list. While Steinberg are perhaps best known for their DAW software, their product catalogue also includes some excellent virtual instruments. HALion is back, and it’s bigger, better and FMier than ever! ![]() |
