88了,老爹!.......日本老年駕駛車禍的法律:87歲男駕駛衝撞10路人 女童等2人死亡

「漂丿七逃郎」非他莫屬,親愛的冦桑!
88了,開車開到3年前被警察攔檢請他「年紀大了,不要開吧」今天還碎碎念「不然我可以開去COSCO多買點東西」,88了,老爹!
我行政工作的啟蒙幹事,在我28歲,第一年當組長時,陪著我帶40個學生到日本祭孔。
現在回想,經驗豐富的老前輩,訓育組共事4年,他一定很忍耐我的既青澀又龜毛吧?他給我的肯定則是我敢堅持的動力 。
倜儻不再,但是面容上還是流露一絲俏皮。

中國資本入侵波爾多,酒莊更名惹爭議The Oxford Companion to Wine, Empire of Pleasures : Luxury and Indulgence in the Roman World


波爾多的聖福瓦區,罕見生活在自己的莊園裡的中國主人茱莉婭·張。
波爾多的聖福瓦區,罕見生活在自己的莊園裡的中國主人茱莉婭·張。 Andrea Mantovani for The New York Times
•中國資本入侵波爾多,酒莊更名惹爭議
不管是“禦兔”,還是“藏羚羊”,波爾多的葡萄園裡都沒有。但這些事實無法阻止來自中國的新主人,他們正在用一些奇怪的動物來命名新近收購的酒莊。這讓熱衷於傳統的法國人著實驚愕。
對於中國人的入侵 ,法國最著名葡萄酒區之一波爾多瀰漫著一股焦慮情緒。一些當地人認為,改變歷史悠久的酒莊名稱是一種大膽而無禮的做法。著名作家菲利浦·索萊爾斯甚至給波爾多市長寫信,公開對此表示譴責。
但並非所有的法國人都那么生氣。波爾多總是跟錢走,如今中國人有錢了。一位釀酒師表示,中國人正在幫助這些莊園主過上體面的退休生活,他們也在幫助保護這些莊園。不過,對有些人來說,葡萄園上空飄揚的五星紅旗仍然有些嚇人。

Description

Published in 1994 to worldwide acclaim, the first edition of Jancis Robinson's seminal volume immediately attained legendary status, winning every major wine book award including the Glenfiddich and Julia Child/IACP awards, as well as writer and woman of the year accolades for its editor on both sides of the Atlantic. Combining meticulously-researched fact with refreshing opinion and wit, The Oxford Companion to Wine offers almost 4,000 entries on every wine-related topic imaginable, from regions and grape varieties to the owners, connoisseurs, growers, and tasters in wine through the ages; from viticulture and oenology to the history of wine. Tracing the consumption and production from the ancient world to the present day, the Companion is a remarkable resource for gaining further appreciation for a beverage whose popularity has only increased with time.

Now exhaustively updated, this third edition incorporates the very latest international research to present over 400 new entries on topics ranging from globalization and the politics of wine to brands, precision viticulture, and co-fermentation. Hundreds of other entries have also undergone major revisions, including yeast, barrel alternatives, climate change, and virtually all wine regions. Useful lists and statistics are appended, including controlled appellations and their permitted grape varieties, as well as wine production and consumption by country.

Illustrated with maps of every important wine region in the world, useful charts and diagrams, and stunning color photography, this Companion is unlike any other wine book, offering an understanding of wine in its many wider contexts - notably historical, cultural, geographic, and scientific - and serving as a truly companionable point of reference into which any wine-lover can dip, browse, and linger.

Book Data

Full Description
This work explores the Romans' renowned taste for titillation and fulfilment of the senses, from Persia and Greece to France and Britain. It presents an analysis of the Romans' desire for food and wine and how this quest for the luxurious is woven into the literature, art, and culture.
This work runs through the literature of Imperial Rome - "Persica", the golden peaches whose Latin name pinpointed Persia as the source of their world-wide migration - caecubum, a fine, rare, dry red wine from Campanian vineyards that were once prized, afterwards neglected; these flavours were identified, evaluated and tasted in a single word.
In this book, the author explores the Romans' renowned taste for titillation and fulfilment of the senses, from Persia, Greece and Asia Minor to Spain, France and Britain. It presents a picturesque analysis of the Romans' extraordinary desire for food and wine and how this quest for the luxurious is woven into the literature, art, language and culture.
