The Solution to the Problem of Qualia On October 25, 2019, I received an email by a person who inquired of me as to what my thoughts were on the nature of qualia (singular: quale), e.g., how and why it exists. This person was stuck in a conundrum because they couldn't understand how qualia could ever be explained via, say, a mathematical theorem. I had thought about the nature of qualia before, but this person's inquiry inspired me to think about the issue in a more systematic way.

Would anyone be able to recommend a good book on Port? Ideally something similar in style to Jasper's Burgundy book, Peter Liem's Champagne book, or...

There is no denying that we are living through one of the greatest societal challenges in recent memory. It's impossible to list all of the difficult choices and changes — the loss, the sacrifice, the uncertainty, the fear — forced upon us by COVID-19. As everyone continues to adjust to a changed world, we have been sharing a few questions. What has the scourge of COVID-19 revealed to us?

Home Forums > UK Wine Forum > Discussion in 'UK Wine Forum' started by James Redford, Oct 27, 2019 at 7:59 PM. I am after some wine maps to frame on the walls of my new house. Does anyone know where I can get hold of these? I have seen some De Long ones but these do not seem to focus in on regions, rather cover whole countries. I am after something along the lines of the Larmat maps but without their price tag.... May not be quite what you’re after, but the Beaujolais folk do an A2 geological...

I am.hoping the collective wisdom of the forum will be able to advise of some decent companies to use for fitted wardrobes with matching dressing table and night stands. I am not looking to break the bank cost wise but at the same time want to avoid the budget end of things.

All I have a lunch with some friends the week after next at Hawksmoor and we are taking advantage of their £5 corkage offer. I was hoping that someone would be able to recommend something good in the £50-£60 range that ideally has a bit of age on it.

Hoping the collective wisdom of the forum can advise me how long I should leave a bottle of this standing up for sediment to settle and how much decant...

Afternoon All Heading here on Monday night with some colleagues (non wine geeks) and in true wine geek fashion I want to check out their wine list and enomatic offerings in advance. Unfortunately I cannot find either of them online or on their website - does anyone know where these may be?

All Our first child was born last year and we want to get some wines to lay down for the next couple of decades - i.e. their 18th or 21st. The reason for seeking help is that I would just go for Bordeaux but the 2017's seem overpriced for what is not a stellar vintage.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), an industry leader in automated, scalable and secure networks, today announced that it has become the global technology partner of the World Robot Olympiad(TM) Association (WRO®), a non-profit organization that focuses on the hands-on development of robotics within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education on a worldwide scale.

As part of its involvement in the competition, Juniper will be sponsoring a new trophy at this year's finals, WRO 2018, known as the Juniper Networks' Engineering Simplicity Honors Award. Juniper will judge teams in the Regular category at the finals, across all age groups, on the boldness, creativity and simplicity of their robot-led solutions.

I know this will cause some to fall off their chairs in horror, but Pinot Noir is not a grape I have ever got round to seriously trying - a mixture of lack of funds and an in depth phase of Italian wines being the main reasons.

OK, so another request for the forum Knowledge... Going to have a week in northern Italy (starting from Bergamo) with a car in mid-August. Would like to find a couple of bases to rent a place for a few days, beautiful but not too crowded or posh. Any ideas?

Just had an email from BBR on the above - has anyone purchased one before? If so, do they tend to have a good variety of regions/styles and are they...

Dear All, My sister gave birth last April to a little girl, as it is her first birthday coming up i thought i would get her a good case of Bordeaux to drink and enjoy or sell when she becomes 18 or 21. I have found a few options however would love to hear everyones imputs.

Happy New Year to all Thought it would be interesting to see him anyone has any wine related resolutions for the new year? I myself have a few, namely to buy some decent stems, to drink more aged Sauternes and to finally start learning about Burgundy - any book recommendations for the latter are greatly appreciated!

Dear All, First of all Happy Christmas to everyone, i hope you all had a lovely day with great wine and being surrounded by your loved ones. My question to all forum members is, is 2013 BDX really that bad?

My first, but hopefully not my last. I was invited to lunch on Friday and was told to bring a bottle and given one of the wines was Haut Brion 1989 and another mouton Rothschild 1986 I took along my one and only bottle of DRC echezeaux as it seemed appropriate.

So that time of year has arrived when Mrs R asks what I would like for Christmas. She has learnt from previous years and swiftly followed this question...

Evening All I have had a search but cannot find anything definative on this question. Having been seriously into wine for a couple of years now, by which I mean exploring more regions and getting a better understanding of what I like, I am starting to buy more cases and will also be attempting to purchase a few bits at auction.

All Has anyone else noticed that the wines to be served at BBR events are no longer detailed on each event on their website? Is anyone aware for the reason behind this as it was one of the ways I determined if the cost of the event was worthwhile!

Recently I have started looking at purchasing a few bottles at auction. I have noticed that the lots with badly damaged labels seem to have a lot lower...

Have recently started to try and keep labels of wines I have enjoyed, yet I am having mixed results. Some come off the bottle very easily, others not...

All Mrs R and I are planning on a weekend in London and she would like to eat at Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester. Would people recommend going for lunch or dinner and having the tasting menu or going a la carte?
