Reasons why James Bond ordered his martini "shaken, not stirred" 


 "Shaken, not stirred." Those timeless words of James Bond are known to all generations. Yet is it really the best way for consumers to enjoy a martini?
According to News.com.au, shaking is not the traditional option. The Huffington Post blames all that shaking for the 'cloudiness' of the concoction. The drink would get cold and light as the ice melts.
Live Science reported on scientists who revealed why Bond ordered this variation. It's because of health reasons, possibly from drinking to much to begin with.

"James Bond's famous catchphrase "shaken, not stirred" may have stemmed from his inability to stir his drinks due to an alcohol-induced tremor affecting his hands, researchers reveal in a new, tongue-in-cheek medical report.
Such a tremor would be likely in a spy who drank more than four times the recommended limit of alcohol throughout his missions, they said, writing in a special Christmas issue of the BMJ — a lighthearted edition of the medical journal that includes real research." 

Now we know there are explanations behind this choice of drink. Scientists revealed a medical explanation for Bond's menu choices, even if the mixologists would not recommend these for most consumers.

Craving Community in a Digital World

Craving Community as a Millenial A real sense of community is needed more than ever. The digital world can coexist with face-to-face interactive community experiences. Local group events are needed for true connection with fellow human beings. Digital tech and social media can facilitate in-person communities. Digital and in-person experiences do not have to be an either-or. Social media is not in itself a bad thing. The way we use this technology can be helpful or harmful. The popularity of social media is clearly evident. It can either be seen as a threat or an opportunity. Facebook had " 1.18 billion daily active users on average for September 2016". Twitter claims to have 313 million monthly active users. Instagram recorded 600 million active users in December 2016, with an increase of 100 million in the 6 months prior. Social media is growing.

More at the Gold Coast than Theme Parks

There is More to Explore at the Gold Coast than Theme Parks My husband and I booked our honeymoon months in advance. We wanted a nice long stay at the Gold Coast. I wanted more than rides at theme parks. After research and then experience, I can now share some attractions everyone should enjoy. I was never enthusiastic about theme parks, because extreme rides have always frightened me. I typically got through other theme park visits with one favoured activity - minding the bags. As friends whirled around on rides, I enjoyed opportunities to calmly sip a coffee and look at social media on my phone. Perhaps there are other ways to slow down and still have fun. So we chose to experience Queensland beyond what was already known. This was the goal. The result has been exciting experiences at amazing attractions. Here are some key attractions we have experienced so far. Skypoint Observation Deck We took an elevator all the way to the 77th floor. 60 degree windows provided clear
