We performed searches using various combinations of the key words alcohol, intoxication, firearm, gun, liquor(s), alcoholic, and bar using methods previously described. We used Westlaw and LexisNexis to conduct on online search of the criminal codes in existence in all 50 U.S. This research is especially timely given recent state legislation allowing the carrying of concealed weapons in establishments that serve alcohol. 25 Given the success of regulating the use of motor vehicles while intoxicated, we sought to determine the prevalence and distribution of state and federal legislation regulating the intersection of alcohol and firearms by performing a 50-state survey. 24 This definition of controlled substances explicitly excludes alcohol, wines, and other distilled spirits. There is a federal restriction on selling or otherwise disposing of firearms to an individual who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance, as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act. Each year, almost two million criminal offenses occur by an offender who is under the influence of alcohol at the time of the offense (about 36% of all offenders), 23 and a policy effort that effectively restricts the use of firearms while intoxicated may result in the prevention of a range of violent crimes. Such efforts might also prevent other violence-related outcomes. 20, 21 Violations of these laws carry clear legal penalties for drivers who have consumed alcohol past the proscribed level, to “intoxication.” 22 Similar reductions in firearm-related fatalities could result from alcohol research efforts comparable to those already devoted to motor vehicle crashes. states and the District of Columbia (DC) have laws making it a crime to drive with a blood alcohol concentration at or above a proscribed level: 0.08 milligrams per deciliter. Proscribed blood alcohol concentration levels and legal penalties for driving while intoxicated are the result of decades of scientific study establishing a driver's crash risk relative to the amount of alcohol the driver has consumed. 17 Whereas drunk driving restrictions have reduced the magnitude of alcohol-related motor vehicle crash death considerably, it is unclear to what degree such legal restrictions have been undertaken to reduce the problem of alcohol-related firearm death. households contain firearms, 15 and opportunities to obtain a firearm exist for adolescents 16 and adults alike. 13 Similarly, there are about 250 million guns in the U.S., 14 and each year more than 30,000 Americans die in shootings, making firearms the second leading cause of injury death in the U.S. There are about 250 million motor vehicles in the U.S., 12 and each year more than 40,000 Americans die in traffic crashes, making motor vehicle crash the leading cause of injury death in the U.S. The disparity in attention that has been paid to these two types of alcohol-involved fatalities-those from motor vehicle crashes and those from firearms-is even more surprising when considering more closely their similarities in terms of magnitude. 10, 11 A nearly equal one-fifth of alcohol-related injury deaths are the result of firearm injuries 8 however, little research has focused on alcohol use and shootings. ![]() public health achievements of the 20th century by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

With limitations on the amount of organic growth that can be generated through new distribution networks or broader lines of business, those firms that want to leap forward and grow quickly are actively seeking merger and acquisition opportunities. “In contrast, large global insurance businesses seem undeterred by market conditions. Small to medium-sized enterprises will continue to be wary of transactions as they wait for the current market uncertainty to subside. Last year the number of ‘mega-deals’ in the insurance M&A market – those valued in excess of USD 1 billion – dropped to 19 from 25 the previous year, but there is an expectation that 2023 could see the return of big M&A transactions.Įva-Maria Barbosa said: “We are expecting a two-speed 2023. Europe saw the smallest annual increase with 127 transactions in 2022, up from 125 previous year, while H2 2022 marked the second consecutive period of declining activity in the region. Activity in the Middle East and Africa was up 41% year-on-year, propelled by a strong first half (16 deals) followed by just eight in H2 2022. It also saw an 22% increase in the second half of the year, the only region not to experience a dip in that period. Asia-Pacific saw the highest year-on-year increase in percentage terms with 60 transactions in 2022, up from 42 in 2021. Deal volume in H1 2022 reached its highest level since 2011 with 132 deals but dropped 21% in the second half of the year to 104. The Americas remained the most active region for M&A in 2022, with 236 deals, up 5% on 2021. The re-opening of China’s borders following lockdown restrictions will only serve to bolster confidence in the region further.” “In contrast, investors in Asia-Pacific were generally slower to regain confidence post-pandemic, but have put that reticence behind them with a consistent and increasing trend of rising deal numbers. Deal-makers in the Americas and Europe are displaying a heightened sense of caution as they switch to wait-and-see mode in the face of market uncertainty, which will likely result in a lag in overall transaction volume. “However, looking ahead, underlying trends point to mixed investor sentiment. However, there was a marked downturn in the second half of the year with 207 deals completed, compared to 242 in H1, as economic and inflationary pressures began to impact investor sentiment, according to Uncertainty breeds opportunity, the latest edition of global law firm Clyde & Co’s insurance growth report, released today.Įva-Maria Barbosa, Chair of Clyde & Co's Corporate & Advisory Group, said: “Despite the return of inflation, and measures from central banks to restrict liquidity, deals that were put on hold during the pandemic continued to come to market in 2022, maintaining the upswing in deal-making that began the previous year. There were 449 completed mergers and acquisitions (M&A) worldwide in the insurance sector in 2022, up from 418 the previous year, the highest for a decade.

Holman Distillery, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, makes an apple brandy that’s jacked in the traditional manner.Īpplejack can be enjoyed in any number of ways. However, at least one independent distillery is still creating applejack the old-fashioned way. It may or may not be aged in bourbon barrels. In more modern times, the production of applejack has evolved, and distillers blend apple brandy and neutral grain spirits to produce a drink that’s usually around 80 to 90 proof and amber-brown in color. Removing water raised the alcohol content of the fermented apple cider from 5% to almost 40%. As the barrels froze during the harsh winter months, the ice was regularly removed - a traditional distilling process called jacking. With its rich history as a classic cocktail staple by pioneer pre-prohibition bartenders, applejack is a natural progression as enthusiasts look to expand their cocktail experience and repertoire.”ĭuring colonial times, applejack was made from fermented apple cider that was stored outdoors in barrels at the start of a fall harvest. “Cocktail enthusiasts have been enjoying spirits such as bourbon and rye for a number of years now. Why is applejack making a comeback now? Lisa Laird Dunn, the Executive Vice President and World Ambassador at her family’s famous applejack distillery, told SPY that applejack appeals to craft cocktail lovers who have developed a taste for American-made brown liquors like bourbon. There’s No Fiddling Around When You Get Hooked on With the Best Hook Earbuds for Running Located in Scobeyville, New Jersey, the Laird & Company distillery has been making apple brandy for 12 generations, and it remains one of the oldest family-run businesses in the country. In fact, the first commercial distillery in the United States has been making applejack since its founding in 1698. Surprisingly, applejack has actually been around a lot longer than bourbon or whiskey. Technically, applejack is an apple brandy, and you can make it from pretty much every apple variety known to man, from Red Delicious to Winesap. Typically, moonshine isn’t very easy on the palate, but modern applejack is sippable. If you were to imagine what a bourbon made from apples would taste like, you’re getting closer to the taste of true applejack. ![]() Notes of apple are definitely apparent in the smell and taste, and it reminds most people of bourbon or whiskey. To start, applejack is a powerful yet sweet spirit produced from apples (no surprise there). So What Is Applejack? And What Does It Taste Like?

The slurry passes through the drag heads and pipelines into the hopper. While the WHEELER travels forward at a speed of approximately 2 knots, the drag arms suck a water and sand mixture, known as slurry, from the channel bottom. To dredge a channel, the drag arms are lowered over the side to the channel bottom. It is uniquely designed with three large drag arms and an impressive pumping capacity. That is, it operates much like a giant vacuum cleaner. The WHEELER is a "trailing suction" hopper dredge. Periodic Readiness Exercises throughout the year keep the crew and equipment prepared for these contingencies. In compliance with recent legislation, the dredge is kept in a Ready Reserve status, capable of responding to an urgent dredging requirement within three days. Every 14 days it docks for fuel, supplies, water, and engine maintenance When underway, the dredge operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their working schedule consists of 10 and 12 hour days, including weekends. Crewmembers are divided into two operating tours, alternating two weeks on/two weeks off, and weighted between full and skeleton manning. The WHEELER is staffed with 38 civil service mariners. Although the dredge is maintained in a state of readiness for worldwide operations, it spends the majority of its time operating in the Southwest Pass of the Mississippi River, dealing with shoaling problems that occur during high and low water.

A 360-degree assessment is a wake-up call for most alphas, providing undeniable proof that their behavior doesn’t work nearly as well as they think it does. Coaches get the alpha’s attention by inundating him with data from 360-degree feedback presented in ways he will find compelling-both hard-boiled metrics and vivid verbatim comments from colleagues about his strengths and weaknesses. That’s why alphas need coaching to broaden their interpersonal tool kits while preserving their strengths.ĭrawing from their experience coaching more than 1,000 senior executives, the authors outline an approach tailored specifically for the alpha. Their unemotional style can keep them from inspiring their teams. Their high expectations can make them excessively critical. Their self-confidence can appear domineering. But many of their quintessential strengths can also make alphas difficult to work with. Natural leaders, they willingly take on levels of responsibility most rational people would find overwhelming. Unfortunately, for the last 15 years I didn't and my kids will pay a price for it.Highly intelligent, confident, and successful, alpha males represent about 70% of all senior executives. The bottomline is that for a US based investor, international investing provides no significant benefit other than as a source of alpha. While this may be the absolute worst time to effectuate this change, this is the most appropriate time to think about the change, so that you can make the change at a more opportune time. In that framework, the international allocation has to be closer to 10-15% at most as opposed to 30% based on market weight based schemes like ACWI. And, therefore, pick the right managers and size it accordingly. The right way to think about your international allocation is as a source of alpha. International beta in your portfolio is no better than US beta, actually worse. And that is likely to be the case irrespective of what Zoltan Pozsar has to say. The driver is not not that hard to decipher: In a dollarized world.like it or not, this is where we are.US driven flows overwhelm anything else. And they are unlikely to anytime soon.Īnd, for a personal investor, I know more about it than most as I rebalanced my personal equity allocation to 30% international on a disciplined basis. The entire opportunity set for a US based investor has been effectively dollarized in the sense that dollar based flows are overwhelming and matter more than anything else and thus the benefits of international investing have been non-existent for a while, actually for a very long while.īut we still persist, thinking somehow things will change, due to valuations, different economic drivers, etc etc.īut they haven't.
