In reality, defenses against poison gas usually kept pace with offensive developments, and both sides employed sophisticated gas masks and protective clothing that essentially negated the strategic importance of chemical weapons. Military strategists defended the use of poison gas by saying it reduced the enemy’s ability to respond and thus saved lives in offensives. ![]() Mustard gas, introduced by the Germans in 1917, blistered the skin, eyes, and lungs, and killed thousands. With the Germans taking the lead, an extensive number of projectiles filled with deadly substances polluted the trenches of World War I. Immediately after the German gas attack at Ypres, France and Britain began developing their own chemical weapons and gas masks. The introduction of poison gas, however, would have great significance in World War I. ![]() The Second Battle of Ypres ended on May 25, with insignificant gains for the Germans. The Allied line was breached, but the Germans, perhaps as shocked as the Allies by the devastating effects of the poison gas, failed to take full advantage, and the Allies held most of their positions.Ī second gas attack, against a Canadian division, on April 24, pushed the Allies further back, and by May they had retreated to the town of Ypres. The Germans targeted four miles of the front with the wind-blown poison gas and decimated two divisions of French and Algerian colonial troops. ![]() When the shelling died down, the Allied defenders waited for the first wave of German attack troops but instead were thrown into panic when chlorine gas wafted across no-man’s land and down into their trenches. Known as the Second Battle of Ypres, the offensive began with the usual artillery bombardment of the enemy’s line. On April 22, 1915, the Germans launched their first and only offensive of the year. ![]()

Pick up a case of the 2021 Domaine Curot Sancerre to go with them. With a thin drizzle of honey, all of the flowers of the Loire were in bloom. QUESO DE VALDEÓN: This Spanish blue has been the go-to blue for a few years now. At the cheese shop, this was selected to bring out the nutty, almond-skin notes of the wine. A cheese hailing from Burgundy with a wine from the Loire? We got away with it. TROU DU CROU: This was quite possibly a bit of sacrilege. When that mingles with the liveliness of the wine…it’s a supernova. With every bite, a cheese crystal bursts like a firework. “Get one of those goudas with the yummy cheese crystals.” Luckily, the cheesemonger knew exactly what that meant. We shouldn’t have stopped at just two.īEEMSTER CLASSIC AGED GOUDA: One of our team members had one request for the cheese run. It was extraordinary how this cheese brought the wild herb notes more forward than the Valençay. HUMBOLDT FOG: We have to represent our California cheese friends! Considering the classic pairing of Sancerre and goat cheese, we thought we could get away with having two on the board. The enchanting aromas of grass and sweet cream were brought further to life by the wine’s balanced, ripe fruit. In addition to wonderful wines like this Sancerre, the Loire Valley is known for extraordinary chèvre. Without further ado, here are the cheeses we indulged in: Located in the heart of the Sancerre region, Domaine Delaporte is a family business that has been passed from father to son since the 17th. There are peppery and herbal notes that are uniquely poised to add intrigue and complexity to a cheese pairing. The citrus tones are awash with delicious salinities, for example, a thinly-sliced peel of Moroccan preserved lemon. The high acidity and lean minerality seemed crafted specifically for cutting through cheese’s richness. The grape grew popular and white wine is produced thereafter. What was it about this wine? What could have possibly led to such an overwhelming craving? The answer is deceivingly simple: this is a really, really good Sancerre. Sauvignon Blanc became the ideal choice of grapes as it works well with Sancerres cool climate. Luckily for us, there is an exceptional cheese shop just a few blocks away, so a tribute was selected to venture out and return with, we’ll admit it, way more cheese than polite society would permit. From that moment, it was futile to resist… We needed cheese and we needed it fast. One of us said, “this wine really makes me want cheese.” Noses dove back into glasses, and sips were taken with that phrase rattling around in our minds. Around the room, the expectations were that we’d all jot down a few notes, share a few tasting notes we picked up on, and then move on to the next bottle. We were tasting the 2021 Domaine Curot Sancerre, one of our newest additions to the portfolio. A few days ago, something unprecedented happened to the Wine Spectrum team. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() To think, it all started with your smile. I managed to say hi back to you, and that was the beginning of a lovely conversation that has been going on for a little over a year now. When it became obvious I was completely at a loss for words, you broke the ice by saying hi and flashing another one of those brilliant smiles. You walked into the kitchen a couple minutes later to add some ice to your glass, and there I was, wishing I could think of something witty to say. I turned my head, so you couldn't read my lips, and I told her, "I think I just fell in love with that gorgeous guy over by the window." Of course, she had to take a look, and I grabbed her by the hand and dragged her to the kitchen with me because it was so obvious I was talking about you. One of my friends asked me if I was all right because my face looked flushed. ![]() I went back to talking to my friends and trying not to let my excitement show, but my heart was beating so hard I found it difficult to hear the conversation. The minute I saw your smile, I knew I had to get to know you. You happened to look over at the same moment and smiled at me. My eyes stopped on you, and my heart felt a rush. I was having a drink and talking with a few friends when I randomly looked around the room. I can remember the day we met like it was yesterday. Maybe someday you'll write a letter for me. ![]() When I think about all the reasons I love you, I begin to wonder why someone as special as you, loves me. You cheer me up when I'm down and help me find balance when my world is out of control. You are the soulmate I thought I'd never find. Most importantly, I love the way you complete me. They make my toes curl, and I shiver with delight. I love those quick kisses you shower me with throughout the day, and I love your deep, lingering kisses even more. You just can't resist helping because you understand how easily you could find yourself in the same situation. Some people might think you're a little too generous and easily taken advantage of, but I know better. Whenever someone's in need, you're the first person to lend a hand. When you take my hand in yours, I feel safe and cared for. You're such a strong man, but you have such a soft touch. I'd love you even if you weren't so darn handsome, but I'm glad you are. I see the way other people look at you, and I know they envy me for being with you. You're so handsome, but you don't seem to realize how good looking you are. When I look at the world through your eyes, it's a better place. You always try to see the good in every person and situation, even when I can't see it myself. You have a way of putting people at ease with a simple joke, and you always include everyone in the fun instead of using your humor to put someone down. It's one of the first things I noticed about you. You always ask me why I love you, so I decided to write it all down so you can keep it and read it whenever you feel the need. Whether this love lasts a lifetime or not, every moment I get to share with you is one I will treasure for all of my days. Some day, when the end of my life comes, I will know it was well spent because I got to spend it with you. And as the seconds fly by, I know I'm using them well being with you. With every day that passes, I love you more. I feel safe just thinking about you, and the darkness, rather than being scary, holds me like your arms. You bring me comfort in the hard things and increase my joy when everything is great.Īt night, as I drift off to sleep, it's your love that keeps me warm. Sharing everything with you makes it all better. You make it easy to start every day because I know I'll be able to talk to you and laugh with you.Īnd as I go through my day, it's you I want to tell about the best moments and the worst. It's you I think of when I wake up in the morning - sometimes something specific you said that was funny or sweet, sometimes just your wonderful face. The thing is, there's just no one I'd rather be with as this world keeps turning and turning. Time never stands still, and I know how fleeting every second is. I just want to write you a quick letter about this moment we're sharing right now in our lives. ![]() ![]() ![]() Namely, contrary to common wisdom, psychological traumas can cause real, tangible harm in the brain. ![]() Notice the use of the word “damage” in that sentence. Broadly defined, a psychological trauma is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a severely distressing event. In our case, we’re only interested in the latter. In Ancient Greek, “trauma” means “wound,” and in fact medical professionals use the same word to describe both physical injuries and psychological scars. Let us start with the first of the three. To understand Wolynn’s approach to inherited and early developmental family trauma – the so-called “core language approach” – it’s necessary to understand the relation between traumas, words and the unconscious first. So, get ready to discover why a lot of your pain is not really yours, and prepare to acquire a few tools to relieve yourself from the related torture! The corporeal anatomy of psychological traumas Early on in Paul Thomas Anderson’s superb 1999 movie “Magnolia,” game show host Jimmy Gator (played by Philip Baker Hall) mutters, “And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.’” The quote, repeated several times throughout the movie, is actually a nod to William Faulkner’s part-novel part-play “Requiem for a Nun,” where one character says to another the now-famous words, “The past is never dead it’s not even past.” In a few words, that’s the main premise of “It Didn’t Start With You” by Mark Wolynn, a groundbreaking study of inherited trauma. ![]() |
