IPBC Asia was a huge success again this year. Held over three days from October 29 to 31 2017 the programme commenced on the Sunday evening with an unmissable welcome reception overlooking the Imperial Palace moat at the stunning Wadakura Fountain Park Restaurant. This was followed by two full days of high-level discussion sessions on Monday and Tuesday. The event's key networking event, the Asia IP Elite Gala Dinner, was held on the Monday evening during which the 2017 winning companies, teams, deals and individuals were announced.
IPBC Asia is unique event in that, unlike other general legal events, it focuses on how IP owners can strategically use intellectual property to secure greater operational flexibility, drive revenues, enhance bottom-line returns, increase shareholder value and provide leverage in the financial markets.
Our faculty of speakers comprises individuals in charge of intellectual property at some of the region's most forward-thinking companies, as well as other senior players in the global IP value creation community. Their unique insights and experiences provide delegates with a thorough understanding of latest issues and strategic thinking, as well as the many challenges that IP owners must address both now and in the future.
For more information on IPBC Asia 2018 being held in Shanghai from December 2-4, please contact Kint Hui at email@example.com.
Delegate profile
IPBC Asia 2017 attracted a sell-out crowd of over 500 attendees focused on two key groups: chief IP officers, heads of intellectual property and their equivalents at major enterprises; and leading IP investors, aggregators, intermediaries and international regulators.
As has become standard IPBC policy, we operate a sector quota system in order to guarantee a variety of outlooks and experiences among delegates with quotas for the following:
Once we hit a quota limit, we are unable to offer a place at IPBC Asia to those from the relevant sector looking to register for the event. This ensures the optimal overall delegate profile for the event.
Background to IPBC
Since it was launched in Amsterdam in 2008, IPBC has become established as the world's principal forum for senior thought leaders who specialise in the business of intellectual property, giving them a place to come together and discuss cutting-edge issues around IP value creation. With intellectual property continuing to move further up the corporate, investment and policy agendas, this focus is more relevant than ever before.
Previous IPBC Global events in Amsterdam (2008 and 2014), Chicago (2009), Munich (2010), San Francisco (2011 and 2015), Cascais (2012), Boston (2013), Barcelona (2016) and Ottawa (2017), as well as IPBC China in Beijing (2012, 2015 and 2017), IPBC Asia in Singapore (2013), Tokyo (2015 and 2017), Shanghai (2014 and 2016) and IPBC Japan in Tokyo (2014 and 2016), IPBC Korea in (2016 and 2017), IPBC Taiwan in Taipei (2016), IPBC India (2017) and IPBC Southeast Asia (2017) have clearly demonstrated that the event is unique in the IP calendar.
The opportunities that the IPBC format affords for the exchange of views and experiences – both in formal sessions and during breakfast, lunch and networking breaks – are unparalleled, and are why IPBC events attract such high-level attendees and speakers.
People attend IPBC events because they are unique in four important ways:
The Host
IAM is universally acknowledged as the world's leading IP business information provider. It was launched in July 2003 to address the ways in which businesses and other entities can maximise the value of their intellectual property and other intangibles, and to examine the strategies that they can employ to do this. IAM is unique because it treats intellectual property as a business asset and tool, rather than simply as a legal right. With this unequalled appeal to the boardroom, IAM has firmly established itself as the only IP publication that many senior corporate executives read regularly.

'The Selected Letters of Willa Cather' edited by Andrew Jewell and Janis Stout
In one of Willa Cather's letters to her beloved brother Roscoe she writes, "As for me, I have cared too much, about people and places–cared too hard. It made me as a writer, but it will break me in the end." Losing those near to her very nearly did break Cather, but it is our great fortune that she let herself care as much as she did…. read more

Splinter has a hackneyed gimmickdead bodies trying to smash their way into an isolated convenience storebut I loved it to pieces: scuttling hands, marauding legs, spinning torsos. The source of the mayhem is a parasitic fungus that uses splinters (they're more like quills) to puncture anything with blood in its veins; the bodies are reanimated, whatever their yuck-o condition. The English director, Toby Wilkins, has a long career in special effects and knows how to shoot them: tight, the victims' bodies twisting furiously to avoid contact. The rest of the time, he has a visual sense of menacethe store, with its short aisles and sharp corners, becomes a terrifying obstacle course. Best of all, the film has real dramatic tension and a first-rate cast. It begins with a nerdy (but not too nerdysee the last review) biologist (Paulo Costanzo) and his brainy-hotcha girlfriend getting carjacked by an escaped convict (the charismatic Shea Whigham) and his delusional drug-addicted girlfriend (Rachel Kerbs)the threat is from without and within. The result, however clichéd, is spectacularly unnerving: hair-trigger horror.
More horror: For Halloween, the IFC Center revives Werner Herzog's somnolent but evocative Nosferatu remake, worth seeing for Klaus Kinski's chalky, taloned, world-weary bloodsucker, who falls on Isabelle Adjani's white throat like a suckling infant.

Politics & Government
Candidate for 5th District seat in Congress picks up Rep. Duncan's endorsement
One of the contenders for Mick Mulvaney's former congressional seat has received an endorsement from a sitting S.C. congressman in a neighboring district.
U.S. Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-Laurens, Monday endorsed Chad Connelly in the race to succeed Mulvaney in South Carolina's 5th District.
"I have known Chad for many years and he is a man of unshakable faith who isn't afraid to stand up for what he believes," Duncan said. "Chad's strength of character and boundless energy will help us to finally clean up the mess on Capitol Hill."
The two men also posted a video together online.
Duncan said Connelly, a former chairman of the state GOP, will work with him and President Donald Trump to "drain the swamp, secure our borders, and limit government."
Connelly reciprocated by calling Duncan "one of the most conservative members of Congress" with a "consistent record of unwavering principles."
Connelly, a Newberry resident, was head of the S.C. Republican Party from 2011 to 2013, leaving to become national director of faith engagement for the Republican National Committee. He is one of seven Republicans seeking the 5th District seat in a May 2 GOP primary.

Light and airy two bedroom cottage, closest to the river and the pool sleeping 5!
Le Fournil Cottage
With its exterior adorned with flowers and interior bathed in sunlight, which streams through the enormous arched window of this cottage, Le Fournil is a superb suntrap! The cottage is adjacent to our two bread ovens and was used primarily as a stable and cart shed. As you are no doubt aware, the French are dependent upon their daily bread, so these two ovens would have been of great importance! There is one older oven, with a huge tree growing out of it and one more modern, still in excess of 50 years old, so keep your eyes open for these – they are not too dissimilar to the Italian pizza oven!
When we took over La Garenne, Le Fournil had no roof and its front wall was bulging out with a horrible concrete lintel over the entrance to the cart shed. We sourced a beautiful stone arch from a barn elsewhere in Brittany, which was being demolished. We purchased the stones, transported them to La Garenne, demolished the old and unsafe gable end to Le Fournil, then finally rebuilt the 3m high stone arch in its place.
Inside Le Fournil there is now a spacious downstairs living area with a full height ceiling and a woodburning stove. We have managed to preserve this full height feature by creating a galleried double bedroom upstairs. The kitchen and dining area are well-equipped and the latter has been conveniently created out of a stone alcove in the barn, which makes it is a gorgeous, pleasant and light place to sit, with windows and views on all three sides. We have a plentiful supply of freshly cut, dried wood for our guests to use, which easily warms the whole cottage on cooler spring or autumn evenings. The historic thick stone walls keep the cottage cooler in the summer. Downstairs, there is also a family bathroom. The second bedroom is adjacent to the galleried master bedroom upstairs, across a small corridor. This twin bedroom actually has three single beds and enjoys views of our extensive lawns and the pool. A cot is available on request.
"We had a great week here. Le Fournil was a lovely cottage and we're most impressed with the powerful shower. The area is absolutely lovely, walks along the towpath were fantastic with herons, cormorants and kingfishers all in attendance. Cycling by the river is an absolute joy."

OLOF Mellberg believes Ashley Young will shrug aside his price tag and become an £8million hit at Villa - but has called for patience because of the huge expectations placed on the youngster's shoulders.
Mellberg was already a proven international footballer, who had excelled at Euro 2000 for Sweden, when he made a £5.6million move from Racing Santander as a 23-year-old in July 2001.
Young, at 21, is two years younger and has made just four England under-21 appearances and is in his first season in the top flight.
Mellberg said: "He is a talented player and hopefully he will help us out but you cannot put too much pressure on him."
Mellberg revealed that his experiences of playing on the continent helped him when he signed for John Gregory's team.
"I was 23, so a little bit older. It would have been a big move had I not played beforehand in Spain when I moved from Sweden.
"I had some big shoes to fill in Gareth Southgate, but I had played in Spain for quite a few years and had a tough time in the beginning there when I was settling in during that first few months.
"So I still felt that I had that little bit of experience, and I was playing international football as well.
"But Ashley has played football for a while now, and has played in the Premiership, so he knows what it is about. So he will not be new to it."
Mellberg knows little of Young, having only faced him at Vicarage Road in September.
"I honestly don't know that much about him. I haven't seen him play too much. He obviously played against us when we played away from home but that is basically all I have seen of him," he said.
"It seems quite a few clubs were interested and the fee seems to be quite high, so this is a good sign."
Mellberg believes the signings of Young and John Carew will help Villa attract bigger names in the summer.
"It sends out a signal, but we are also confident in what we've already got here as well," he said. "We are in the middle of the season and whatever signings you make, with not so many games left, 14, it is always difficult.
"We had a really good run at the start of the season and played well, so we are confident in how we play. Hopefully we can get a little bit of help from the new signings."
He added: "We obviously felt the ambition of the club when the gaffer and the new chairman arrived but the manager didn't have much time to sign anybody in the summer - and that's probably why there has been so much talk about transfers at Villa recently.
"We will just see what happens now over the next week and then try to do as well as possible and then we will see again what happens in the summer."

I think a lot of people fantasize about opening an inn. Imagine a cozy place in a pretty destination. There would beautiful guest rooms with of-the-place design details, a great restaurant, and lots of personal, local touches. And how fun would it be to open it with a group of your friends?
This is just the story behind the recently reopened White Hart Inn, a circa 1806 property in the heart of Salisbury, Connecticut. The story goes that, after undergoing an extensive renovation, the inn closed unexpectedly five years ago. Enter Conley and Meredith Rollins (Meredith is the editor-in-chief at Redbook) who knew and loved the property and wanted to reopen it. They purchased it with a group of their friends who also loved the area— including writer Malcolm Gladwell who plans to start a regular talks and event series at the White Hart — and called upon local Litchfield County artists like Jasper Johns, Terry Winters, and Frank Stella to donate work for the inn's public spaces.
The inn's current restaurant, the Tap Room, is helmed by English chef Annie Wayte and offers upscale takes on British-inspired comfort food like lamb burgers and duck shepherd's pie, served fireside. In February, Wayte will open a new restaurant focusing on farm-to-table fare, with a menu that will be updated daily. How lovely to dine downstairs and then have only to take a short walk upstairs to rooms like the ones below.
The inn is offering a few specials for Valentine's Day:
For the couple looking for romance: Chocolate and champagne upon arrival and a dinner for two with wine pairings; from $650/couple for a King room.
For adventure lovers: go on an ice fishing trip with a local guide. For the trip, couples will be equipped with picnic snacks and hot toddies; from $1000/couple.
For the food fans: a two-hour sausage making class with wine tastings (you'll take the spoils of your labor and recipe cards home with you); From $550/couple or add a two-hour dessert making class for a total of $700.

An Austrian company specialized in transport and logistics has recently expanded its operations in several countries within Central and Eastern Europe, including Romania, where it founded a local office, named Bucharest Logistic Center SRL. With a broad experience in its field, the parent company from Austria has a great trade credit policy, but its implementation in Romania is problematic, especially due to the need of obtaining a large amount of information about local clients and in a very short time.
Within the recommendation of the top management team, the local office chooses to outsource the company assessment and business information services to Coface Romania, that has a complete online database and uses a valuation system based on a unique methodology across all countries in Central and Eastern Europe, that considers only the relevant indicators for each and every country.
Shortly after starting the collaboration with Coface Romania, Bucharest Logistic Center SRL managed to align its credit management systems to the requirements of the group. The easy integration of its own assessment algorithm for clients with the commercial risk assessment system used by Coface and the large number of credit reports available in the online Coface database were decisive in this regard.

Fall 2016 Medical Mission Nursing News
Our Fall Mission began with the arrival of Karen Currie, RN, in Ghana on November 6th 2016. Dianne Perry, RN BSN, a recently retired Canadian nursing educator, with expertise in various specialties including surgery, obstetrics and tropical diseases, joined Karen from Europe. Dell highly recommended Dianne and KBNF was able to facilitate her Ghana Visa via Italy.
After a 2 day stay in Accra, they travelled to Techiman by air. Karen and Dianne discovered a kindred spirit. Dianne's influence was immediate, as she commenced her day on the nursing units at 05.30 hrs. Working alongside the nurses, Dianne taught them in groups of 2s and 3s in short sprints. She was urgently called to the OR one night to help deliver a baby via C- section. Mom and baby were in crisis and it was thought that the baby would not survive. However, both mom and babe did fine, much to everyone's relief. Triplets were born and are doing fine, coming in for regular weekly checkups. Dianne's impact was well noted and she reports she will be pleased to return for future missions.
Hazardous nursing practises were addressed and corrected. Some of these practises we have tried to correct in the past, but were observed to have resumed. Having the by-in of various nursing leaders helped to make this transition more effective. Providing an alternative that made sense to the nurses seemed to have the desired effect. Reinforcement was necessary and will continue to be so. Another decision solidified by Dr. Kessie to enhance nursing care is that the TV perched by the nursing station would be relocated to the maternity unit. Nightshift breaks are being monitored closely and have improved.
The nursing administrators, Thomas and Robert are motivated and understand the need to advance the nursing department. They partnered closely with Karen and Dianne throughout their stay, very grateful for all the expertise. They look forward to visiting Vancouver for an educational experience.
Want to hear more of what KBNF is doing in Techiman? Follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for by-the-second updates!

The management plan has three alternatives, labeled A, B and C.
* Alternative A is the "no action" option that's required in all such federal planning exercises.
* Alternative B calls for improvements so visitors can experience a landscape similar to that existing during the Civil War.
* Alternative C calls for the same changes as Alternative B, with additional work and access to more sites by vehicle.
Cravens House
* Alternative B: Interior closed to public.
* Alternative C: Cravens House open to visitors with exhibits inside. Parking moved to Williams property. Restrooms may be added.
* Both alternatives: Removal of non-Civil War buildings, including the Williams House and ranger's cabin. Move powerlines or bury them underground.
Point Park
* Both alternatives: Removal of ranger cabin and other non Civil War buildings. Develop permanent exhibit at Ochs Museum.
Sanders Road Picnic Area
* Alternative B: Allowing picnicking, but reduce size of area. Replace first restroom with vault toilet, with removal of nonworking restrooms.
* Alternative C: Remove all restrooms and picnic facilities. Keep parking for trail access.
Wauhatchie sites
* Both plans: The sites would incorporated into the Lookout Mountain Battlefield. Wauhatchie Site 2 would be called New York Monument. Wauhatchie Site 3 would be called Smith Hill.
New Lookout Valley Lands:
* Alternative B: Possible interpretive site at Tyndale Hill.
* Alternative C: Possible interpretive sites at Tyndale Hill, Bald Hill, Geary's Crossing and Confederate Defense Site
Former Pan-O-Ram Club Site
* Alternative B: Develop the site as a formal overlook that could include a driveway, small parking lot and viewing area with exhibits. Selective vegetation removal to enhance Missionary Ridge views.
* Alternative C: Develop the site as a formal overlook that could include a driveway, small parking lot and viewing area with exhibits. Selective vegetation removal to enhance Missionary Ridge views. Restrooms may be added. A trailhead would connect the site to the Guild Trail.
Ochs Gateway
* Alternative B: No changes. Truck Trails would continue to be multiuse trails. John Smartt Trail would stay a hiking trail.
* Alternative C: Consider connecting regional multiuse trails with Jackson Gap Trail. Consider designating a section of John Smartt Trail as multiuse to allow mountain bikes.
National Park Service planners will accept public comments on proposed improvements to Lookout Mountain Battlefield until April 8. Park Service planners in Colorado put the plan together and will compile the public comments.
Go to http://parkplanning.nps.gov/chch to submit comments online.
Cravens House was a landmark during the Civil War, when the white house halfway up Lookout Mountain was a target for Union artillery aiming from Moccasin Bend.
Robert Cravens, co-owner of Bluff Furnace, Chattanooga's first coke-fueled blast furnace, bought 1,000 acres on Lookout Mountain and built Cravens House as a permanent residence -- the mountain's first.
And then he rebuilt the house -- after the battle-following Washington press corps tore it apart to use the wood.
"It certainly survived the battles in 1863. But it didn't survive the press," said Jim Szyjkowski, chief of resource management for the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. "The press corps tore it down."
The landmark house is now only open for special events. But it may open to the public on a daily basis.
Turning Cravens House into a visitors center is one of the ideas proposed by the National Park Service as it updates its management plan for Lookout Mountain Battlefield -- the land, trails, buildings, historic monuments and Civil War battlefields the Park Service owns from the foot of the mountain to its peak.
Historic preservation is the thrust of the plan. The idea is to have the battlefields look as they did during the Civil War.
"The goal would be, 'What do you need to see here to reinterpret the battle?" Szyjkowski said.
For example, the plan calls for moving or burying powerlines that mar the view near Cravens House, getting rid of a vacant ranger's cabin built there in the '70s, and possibly planting an orchard like the one there during the Civil War.
Also slated for removal is the Williams House, a slate-roofed, '20s-era, Tudor-style home next to Cravens House that the Trust For Public Land bought and then sold to the park.
Getting the big house up to code would cost an estimated $1.2 million, park officials say. But the Williams House mainly has to go, they say, because it was built long after the Civil War.
"The Williams family are OK with our removing their house," Szyjkowski said. "They've made peace with it."
The National Park Service unveiled the Lookout Mountain plan on Feb. 28 at back-to-back public meetings held at the St. Elmo fire hall.
The plan hasn't been controversial, Szyjkowski said. What's probably gotten the most attention, he said, is the prospect of opening a section of John Smartt Trail near the Ochs Gateway as multiuse to allow mountain biking.
"Most of the comments at the open house seemed to be toward the recreation part of this," Szyjkowski said.
Jeffrey Schaarschmidt, a Chattanooga attorney who is president of the Tennessee Mountain Bike Alliance, likes the idea of opening up John Smartt Trail to mountain bikes.
"I think it's a great thing," said Schaarschmidt, who said it allows students at Covenant College to bike to other trails that already are open to mountain biking -- instead of having to haul their bikes there by car.
Schaarschmidt said mountain bikers get along with hikers and other trail users in the Chattanooga area.
The public can pick and choose from each of three management plan alternatives. Park officials are looking for the reasons behind commenters' choices, Park Service project manager Erin Flanagan said at an open house.
"It's that 'because' piece that really helps us," Flanagan said. "That 'because' lets us know what's behind your thinking."
Comments aren't limited to people from the Chattanooga area.
"They can comment from anywhere in the country," Park Superintendent Cathy Cook said. National Park lands are "for all the people -- no matter where you live," she said.

So, they tell me you want to be a picture maker…/
In this video, Steven Spielberg tells the story of the time he met Director, John Ford (filmmakers Jon Favreau and Ron Howard also in frame).
He was 15, in the studio through a family connection, and after Ford arrived, he was hastily ushered into his offic. John Ford said:
"So, they tell me you want to be a picture maker…"
How is this story relevant to presentations?
When selecting images and ever-increasingly, videos for presentation, we make choices. These choices mostly involve decisions on content, but in presentations and storytelling you say and show your point of view.
Placing the horizon in a picture is all about point of view.
"What do you know about art?"
When you look at a picture, you make judgements. In "The Gleaners", Millet shows the pain and struggle of backbreaking work. The women in the picture are almost literally being pushed down by the sky.
The character in Frederic Remington's "The Bronco Buster" has a very different relationship to the horizon. We, as viewers look up to him, he is fully in charge of this moment. On his horse, he is heroic.
So, the question of where the horizon is in the picture is key. For presentations, art, storytelling – communication – to be interesting, you need a point of view.
Here is some of John Ford's finest work – Watch the horizon:

Culinary Kids – 6 Essential Cooking Secrets You Should Teach Your Children
- kelly
- 0 Comments
- Dec, 12th
Parenting is an enormous responsibility. The knowledge, wisdom, values and ethics we impart to our offspring will shape their approach to the lives that lie ahead of them. A large part of our mission is to teach our kids practical skills that will help them navigate the day-to-day challenges of their lives as they blossom into productive members of society. In a world where everything, including food, seems to be getting faster, many children miss out on the simple joy and practical benefits of learning to cook. If you're thinking about how to ensure that your young ones enjoy the social, health, financial and other benefits of knowing their way around the kitchen, we've got a few tips for you:
The Right Tools
Like any fine art, cooking excellence begins with the right tools. Instructing your kids on selecting the right cookware sets, utensils and other equipment for the job is a fundamental requirement. Mastering the equipment that they will use to create beautiful dishes will save them enormous time and effort, as well as improve the results of their work.
The Cutting Edge
So much of our time in the kitchen is spent on preparation. Much of this time is dedicated to chopping, slicing, dicing, julienning and other knife skills. Instructing budding chefs in the safe, effective use of knives will make a world of difference to their enjoyment and proficiency in cooking, Let them understand the correct use for every kind of knife in your kitchen, and see the difference that correct technique can make to their precision, consistency and quality.
The Spice of Life
Herbs and spices bring life to any dish. Teaching your children about the wide variety of flavours and aromas available will enhance their ability to mix and match to express their creativity. Encourage them to experiment with new spices and interesting combinations so that they develop an intrinsic understanding to what flavours pair well with which ingredients. You might get a few disasters on the way, but the result will be a more sophisticated, complex repertoire.
Texture Message
Food is a delight for all the senses. Obviously, the food needs to taste great. However, the way it looks and smells can also play an enormous part in our perceptions of flavour. Unfortunately, we often spend too little time concerned with the texture and feel of food. The reality is that texture plays a crucial role in our gastronomic experience and can make or break our experience of a dish. It's no surprise, then, that an entire science has been created around food texture. Giving kids a basic understanding of the role that texture plays in our enjoyment of food can help them add that additional sensory element to their cooking that will help them take it to the next level.
Bake My Day
Baking is a separate skill unto itself. Understanding the chemical reactions taking place when making bread, cakes, pastries and the like will open up a whole new world of fascination and intrigue. Working with doughs is a wonderfully tactile experience that keep kids enthralled. They will love eating their handiwork, not to mention possibly licking a bowl or two along the way.
Machine Learning
There is no escaping the march or technology into every aspect of our lives and the kitchen is no exception. Giving children the freedom and trust to experiment with kitchen appliances and gadgets will keep them interested and excited about their work.
There is so much to learn in the kitchen. Following these tips in a fun, interesting way will ensure that the young ones have all the motivation, excitement and interest they need to grow in this essential life skill.

Culturally responsive education can be considered as five focal dimensions; Social Justice, Ethnomathematics, Indigenous education, Equity, and Linguistically Diverse Learners. Each one of the dimensions on its own is has unique place in a classroom, but they are very interconnected. The connections that I developed an understanding from on Monday's class were the interrelatedness of social justice and ethnomathematics.
Using social justice in mathematics allows students to analyze, interpret, and acknowledge that there are injustices in the world. Some of these injustices directly impact your students, and others will have a limited idea or understanding what injustices are. Educating students on the injustices, and working together to arrive at possible solutions is how social justice is part of culturally responsive mathematics.
Social justice links to ethnomathematics by specifying your teaching towards a group of people, for example if you have a class of all Indigenous students, it would be best to design your lesson to the needs of your students, this can also be said for a group of students who are involved in farming with their families. This allows students to relate to mathematics in the themes and questions that relate to their lives, whether that is specifically dealing with personal struggles, ideals, and difficulties or dealing with injustices that are imposed on them by society. Seeing the connections between social justice mathematics and ethnomathematics widens the understanding of what culturally responsive mathematics means.
In class we often discuss the overlap between the dimensions of culturally responsive mathematics, but developing the understanding of each dimension will allow for a full understanding of the concept of culturally responsive mathematics. This can be the pedagogies with use, the lessons we teach, the examples that are used, the themes of our discussions, everything we do can be connected designed with ethnomathematics and social justice in mind.

Tony Lombardo
Tony joined the winery in early 2012. He is a graduate of the Center for Enology and Viticulture in Walla Walla and additionally earned a Viticulture Certificate from WSU in Prosser, WA. To say that Tony, also a graduate of Willamette Law School, who practiced law for 25 years, has found his true passion is an understatement. During his winemaking education and after graduation in 2009 Tony was involved not only in winemaking but many other aspects of the business of wine. At Kana, he focuses on what he loves to do most: shape great wines. He feels, as does winery owner Palmer, that 90% of winemaking is done in the vineyard and that it is imperative to interact with Kana's growers and walk the vineyards on a regular basis during the growing season.

The trip went fine. I forgot exactly how far that is from Worcester. It takes about 75 minutes to drive there.
Aiyre enjoys some parts of it. She likes the shows, but gets bored with them quite quickly(as they use humor and conversation as filler material). She liked the swings and horses and peasant bread(fried dough).

Many American companies tend to think they have it right when it comes to promoting diversity in the workforce, and for the most part, they do. But the way diversity is defined in the U.S. corporate and public spaces does not necessarily make sense in other countries, says Donald Dowling, a partner at law firm White and Case in New York, who specializes in cross-border human resources law for multinational employers.
"What is uniquely American is the way in which we define diversity," Dowling says, "but the fact that we have four different races here in the U.S. doesn't make sense elsewhere. You may have gender and equality issues everywhere in the world, and with maybe an exception or two, the issue of diversity in some form is culturally universal, but for U.S. companies that are expanding their businesses overseas, you can't just take a diversity model that works here and hope to apply it elsewhere."
As such, U.S. companies that are setting up businesses abroad – and more and more of them are – need to think very carefully about extending their diversity policy to those countries, Dowling says.
"If you want to get it right overseas, you really need to think it through and morph your policy into something that makes sense for a particular country," he says. "You have to take into account the fact that U.S. diversity metrics only make sense here, and that other countries have important population distinctions that are not Caucassian, Native American, African-American, Asian races plus Hispanic."
Formulating the correct diversity policy for an individual country means knowing exactly what the ethnic and demographic breakdown is, Dowling says. This requires a great deal of work and might not always be feasible, so companies need to decide if they do want to go the whole hog, or – at the outset, anyway – stick with just one diversity parameter like gender.
At home, though, there's no question that U.S. companies have to continue to promote diversity within their workforce, Dowling says, because diversity is more important in the U.S. than it is almost anywhere else in the world. The U.S. is demographically diverse, it has a "shameful history of slavery and lynching that has to be corrected," and it is the only nation where local employment law does not protect employees, but where employers can fire at will, Dowling says.
"We deal with this by having a system that allows people to file discrimination claims – more robust than what other nations have in this regard," he says.

Adventurous Cookie & Drink Pairings
Ah, cookies. Could there be anything more comforting? The psychology of a cookie's ability to induce calm and take us back to our 'happy place' is the stuff of legend. And dunking is not far behind: like a warm hug on a cold day, the added caress of a cookie, dripping with our favorite beverage, might just be akin to Prozac for some – and for others, probably a healthier and more effective alternative.
Even better – since Lenny & Larry's is actually in the business of making good-for-you cookies, we are already at the forefront of the movement. Poised and ready to take the whole dunking concept straight to its apogee, we've considered a few improvements on the tried and true, and here they are for your consideration: some of our most popular flavors, complete with beverage dunking suggestions. Are you ready for adventure?
- Birthday Cake: While milk is probably the most popular go-to for dunking most cookies, why not try something a little more festive to match the theme of this awesome snack? After all, it's a party in every bite! It's infused with golden vanilla goodness, so we tried some homemade vanilla almond milk and it just exploded with decadence. If homemade isn't your thing, try cashew milk: even unsweetened, its creamy richness is quite literally the icing on the cake.
- Chocolate Chip: Another classic go-to flavor in the cookie department, our chocolate chip cookies are soft in the middle and have a little caramelized crunch at the edges. Try them with some Vanilla Rooibos Tea: its earthy flavors and hint of vanilla make it this cookie's perfect foil. Hot tip: pop it in a 350˙ oven for about a minute to take it over the moon.
- Oatmeal Raisin: Dense, hearty and toothsome, this cookie does so well in combo with a variety of flavors that it's hard to choose just one. In the end, the hands-down winner was an extra-tall iced coffee with a shot of pure vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Ooya!
- Peanut Butter: Yes, actually, there is a wine for this: it's an Argentinian off-dry white called Torrontes, and while it's a bit on the sweet side, it has the kind of refreshing acidity that perfectly balances the richness of this cookie's flavor. Best of all, it's a value-priced wine, and widely available in the summertime, so there's no need to hesitate! It's five o'clock somewhere!
- Snickerdoodle: There's something about the Snickerdoodle that makes us want to curl up with a good friend, a book, or an evening of Netflix. Pair this awesome cookie with this special version of an Irish coffee: combine ¾ oz each of Irish whisky and Bailey's Irish cream with rich, bold roast coffee for a satisfying cookie dunk you'll be craving for days.
- Coconut Chocolate Chip: Coconut is often a flavor descriptor in wines like viognier (that's a grape) or in some California chardonnays. Try this cookie with a Beaulieu Vineyards chardonnay, which is blended with about 6% viognier. A little aging in new American Oak will elevate the coconut and tropical flavors to new heights. Hot tip: when dunking, be sure your chardonnay is not too cold or its flavors may be masked. Take it out of the fridge first and allow the wine to sit at room temperature for a half hour before indulging. You won't regret it!
- Double Chocolate: Rich and chewy, these cookies are a chocoholic's delight. It stands to reason that they should have a sweet go-with, as chocolate is notoriously difficult to pair. Try it with a sweet port wine, a late bottled vintage or tawny will do nicely. Sip, savor, and imagine yourself in a chocolate paradise.
- Lemon Poppy Seed: Lemon is the taste of summer! We love this wine with a tall cool glass of iced tea. Sweetened or not, the tea spices cast an exotic web over the flavor profile, bringing smiles for miles. If you're looking for a neat wine pairing, try a dry riesling to bring out the fresh lemony flavors – it's like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.
- Pumpkin Spice: We firmly believe that pumpkin spice should not be confined to just one season. Try this cookie anytime of the year with chamomile tea: the subtle, earthy, exotic and floral aspects are both light and complex, playing an award-winning supporting role to the sugar and spice of the cookie. It's everything nice!
- White Chocolate Macadamia: Macadamia nuts are so rich, they need something with a texture to match. If you want to try something a little more adventurous, try it with cold sake (Japanese rice wine) for a real kick. There are several different types of sake, but for this pairing, seek out Ginjo-shu or Namazake style sakes, as each of these have a rich, yet delicate and complex flavor that will support the cookie without overpowering its delicate flavors.
Here's hoping your adventures in the world of cookies and drinks are met with smiles, whoops and plenty of youthful nostalgia. Feel free to share your thoughts, comments and the results of your own personal dunking adventures right here!

The Problem
Kama'aina Mortgage Group wanted to remove the third party contact form and roll their own contact form to gather sales leads. It was a complex form that needed a solution that was robust but still easy to manage.
The Solution
The first step was bringing the website's content management system up-to-date (Expression Engine). The decision was made to use the Freeform Pro add-on for the contact form and data collection. This solution gave a level of redundancy by storing each contact in the database in addition to emailing the client. As an additional step the Google Analytics implementation was revised to track each step of the form letting the client see user interaction with the form even if it wasn't completed.
What They Say
I have been a business owner for the last 4 year and I have used many different web developers before meeting Ron. I found Ron on the internet over 2 years ago and he has been my go to guy every since. He is very reliable, prompt, creative and fairly priced. He answers all of questions and helps me work through my ideas offering solutions and research that maximize my business's effectiveness. My relationship with Ron has made a huge positive impact on my business and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

As a small business, we enjoy the direct interaction we have with our customers at farmer's markets and with the cheese buyers at the shops and restaurants that sell our products. We want you to know where your food comes from and we like to explain as much about the process as we can. Here's a selection of some of the most common questions we answer:
Are your products organic?
No, Sage Farm is not certified organic. The grain that the goats eat is certified organic. The hay and pasture they eat is not certified, although on our own land, we do not use any pesticides or non-organic fertilizers. Under the National Organic Program, animals used in organic milk production can NEVER be treated with antibiotics. While we do not use antibiotics in our herd unless absolutely necessary, in cases where an animal's well-being is at stake, we do treat them with antibiotics accordingly. Under National Organic Program standards, that animal would have to be permanently removed from milk production. On a small dairy like ours, that would be impractical and wasteful. When an animal on our farm is undergoing any type of drug treatment, her milk is discarded and not used for cheese production until all residue is undetectable in the milk. Sidenote: All milk sold in the U.S. is tested for antibiotic residue before entering the market. It is illegal to sell milk with detectable antibiotic residue.
Why grain? Why organic grain? Is your grain GMO-free?
To maintain high milk production over the course of a 10-month season, lactating goats must be fed a diet that is balanced in energy, protein, and vitamins and minerals. We raise our goats on pasture, browse, and grass/clover hay, which vary seasonally in their nutritional composition. We rely on grain to achieve a balanced ration and optimal milk production. We recognize that grain is a large farm input that comes from outside our local agricultural region and that feeding grain has far-reaching impacts on land use and the consumption of fossil fuels. We choose to purchase organic grain because organic farming practices are designed to minimize negative environmental impacts by using fewer and less toxic pesticides and fertilizers. We hope that organic farmers are more likely to maintain soil health while limiting runoff by using techniques such as crop rotation, planting cover crops, and fertilizing with composted waste.
The grain we purchase is GMO-free, as are all certified organic products in the U.S. In fact, our cheeses are entirely GMO-free as well.
What kind of rennet do you use?
Considering both taste and tradition, we choose to use animal rennet in all of our cheeses. While the use of microbial rennet allows cheesemakers to call their products vegetarian, we feel that milk products themselves are not truly vegetarian, as most dairies regularly slaughter some animals. After all, in order to have milk, an animal must become pregnant and once that animal gives birth, the offspring (especially males) do not always find a place on the farm. Animal rennet, a naturally occurring enzyme found in the stomach lining of young calves, is a by-product of veal production. We feel that if calves are going to be slaughtered for veal, it is best to use as much of the animal as possible, hence, rennet. Additionally, we like the traditional flavor animal rennet contributes to our cheeses.
Are your cheeses pasteurized? What is pasteurization?
Some are, some are not. Federal law mandates that all cheeses that are aged less than 60 days must be pasteurized, which means that all of our fresh and bloomy rinded cheeses are pasteurized. Our longer aged cheeses, like the Worcester Tomme, are made with raw milk. All cheeses are labeled either pasteurized or raw.
Pasteurization is a method used to kill potentially harmful pathogens in raw milk. Pasteurized milk is heated to at least 145 degrees Fahrenheit and held at that temperature for at least 30 minutes. Unfortunately, pasteurization also destroys much of the beneficial bacteria that is naturally present in raw milk. In the cheesemaking process, bacterial cultures are added back into the milk to create the conditions necessary for specific types of cheese.
Why aren't all of your products available all the time?
Our farm is a seasonal operation, as goats are naturally seasonal in their breeding habits. Does generally come into heat (can be bred) between the months of August and December. Their gestation period lasts 5 months. Because we have very cold winters in Vermont, we concentrate our kidding in the months of March and April. We will then milk our herd through December, giving them a rest (their maternity leave) during the months of January and February. This natural cycle means that we only have access to fresh goat's milk for 10 months of the year. We can't make fresh goat's milk cheeses without fresh goat's milk and that is why some of our products (fresh chèvre and shorter aged cheeses like Sterling and Madonna) are not available in the dead of winter. In this day and age we are used to being able to have all foods available at all times of year, but we find that the first batch of fresh chèvre in the springtime is worth the wait.
Do you sell raw goat's milk?
No, we turn all of our milk into cheese.
Is goat's milk healthier or easier to digest than cow's milk?
There is no scientific evidence that goat's milk is "healthier" than cow's milk, but it is often easier to digest for people who have trouble with cow's milk products. The fat globules in goat's milk are smaller than those in cow's milk, and there is some evidence that this property makes it easier to digest. Goat's milk and cow's milk have roughly the same amount of fat and protein.
Do you offer internships or host apprentices?
We currently hire one intern each season. The internship runs between April and December. For more information about the internship or to apply, visit the contact/internship page.
Do you offer stud service?
No. We keep a closed herd to minimize exposure to contagious diseases. We do sell bucklings every spring that will be ready for service by mid-late fall.

Reproductive Justice and the Pace of Change: Socioeconomic Trends in US Infant Death Rates by Legal Status of Abortion, 1960-1980
Published in American Journal of Public Health, 2015.
US infant death rates for 1960 to 1980 declined most quickly in (1) 1970 to 1973 in states that legalized abortion in 1970, especially for infants in the lowest 3 income quintiles (annual percentage change = -11.6; 95% confidence interval = -18.7, -3.8), and (2) the mid-to-late 1960s, also in low income quintiles, for both Black and White infants, albeit unrelated to abortion laws. These results imply that research is warranted on whether currently rising restrictions on abortions may be affecting infant mortality.

The People's Democratic Congress (PDC) is a minor political party in Barbaods.
PDC was formed in January 2005. It evolved out of the Society for Mass Freedom and Democracy (SMFD), which is its parent body. SMFD was instrumental in the coming about of PDC for two major reasons:
The main slogan of the party is "Partnerships People Sovereignty."
The Political Leader and President of the Executive of the party is Mark Adamson.
Four candidates ran in the 2008 election but failed to win any seats. In 2013, the PDC formed the Coalition of United Parties (CUP) with the Bajan Free Party. There were two PDC candidates, but they also failed to win a seat having polled 86 votes or 0.06 per cent of the ballots cast.
The party contested the 2018 General Election with two candidates as part of CUP.

Our particular strengths
Since 1997 our co-operative society has been championing organic agriculture and the food industry in the Marches. One of our aims is to enhance the status of local and national organic operations. Another is to establish quality assurance and promote food safety regulations. These measures far exceed those taken during inspection by certification authorities.
Every stage of production, from the sowing of the seed to the manufacture of the final pro-duct, is monitored by the co-operative society. A team of consultants is available both to the members and to external operations, currently consisting of three individuals. They assist the farmers with agronomic decisions concerning, for example, the cultivation of the soil or the choice of seeds and fertiliser. Besides this, it places its know-how at their disposal if they need help with administrative matters or entries in farm records and training schedules. And finally they pass on information promptly on current developments in organic agriculture.
TerraBio owns a computer system which enables the path of all incoming and outgoing raw goods to be traced without interruption. Those members of staff responsible for quality control check the vehicle and the condition of the incoming goods as soon as they arrive. After visual inspection, the accompanying documents, which show the supplier, the carrier, the transport document and certification, are checked. Next the quality of the goods is determined. This in-cludes the shipping weight and the specific weight, humidity, impurities and the general con-dition, as well as the proportions of gluten and proteins.
Each reference sample taken is sealed in the presence of the supplier and retained for the eventuality of any complaints about the goods. The information obtained during the quality analyses is saved in the computer system and given a lot number which appears on all in-voices and goods transactions. In this way TerraBio is able to guarantee complete traceability.
Throughout storage, our staff take regular product samples. In this case the storage tempera-ture and humidity are measures, but the goods are also chec ked for possible infestation with insects. Permanent quality control is thus guaranteed.
In summary, the co-operative society provides its customers with safety at three levels: regular inspection by an independent organic inspection body, its internal traceability system, and the specialist advice given to the farmers, all of which guarantee the highest organic quality.

Every year RFSL Stockholm's school information meets about 8000 young people throughout the county. Usually we visit the intermediate secondary schools, often in connection with theme days. However, we can see that more and more educators choose to take up LGBTQ issues (homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender, and queer) and heteronormativity even under different topics, such as: social studies, life skills or biology. We also visit other types of youth groups, such as confirmation groups, sports clubs and leisure centers.
Below is a brief presentation of what a school information from RFSL Stockholm looks like.
A school information from RFSL Stockholm means that two trained communicators meets students/young people and inform them about hetero normativity and LGBT people's living conditions in a hetero normative society. Our sessions are always 90 minutes long and we work in groups of about 25 students/youths. In general, we talk Swedish in our lessons, but we can also deliver lessons in English. The professional communicators always work in pairs, and we let the informant savings implement a maximum of three lessons to each other during a single day.
We are always sure to set aside time during class sessions to allow young people to ask questions and discuss topics related to LGBTQ issues and hetero normativity. We work on the basis that no questions regarding LGBTQ and hetero normativity is too large or difficult.
The main focus during our sessions is not on the communicator's own life stories but rather to discuss norms regarding gender and sexuality and what types of norms that exist in people's lives. We always highlight how norms are related to power and status, and together with the young people we discuss how norms affect everyone's lives, not just LGBTQ people.

media & events
building relationships
We Don't Play The Social Game. We Are Social. -Steven Cuoco
The responsibility of a publicist is to oversee the public image and manage media relations for client(s). Coordinate publicity events and making sure every client knows where to go and what to do. Other responsibilities include writing press releases, releasing statements, assisting in maintaining a flawless appearance and acting as council where needed. Generate publicity by pitching story ideas to magazines, radio shows and newspapers about the client or company. If the client does something that can be perceived negatively, it is up to the publicist to maintain credibility: and to be fair, honest and disclose all material facts.
My goal is to provide innovative consulting, public relations, luxury branding and strategy that builds relationships while creating and obtaining consistent work and customer/client retention. Clean and precise branding will invite people to get to know you and to find out who you are. This is an effective form that is luxurious, educational and a proper preparation of communication integrated into every aspect of your existing marketing and effort. And to build solid, long lasting and trusting relationships for years to come.
"Let's create something good, by helping others feel good, while creating mass appeal."
Fashion Publicist
My performance in the world of fashion heavily relies upon experience and the specific services I offer my clients: setting up photo shoots, media coverage, and arranging interviews are the most important tasks of my position.
A major priority as a fashion publicist is to build and maintain a favorable public image that can change the future of the fashion label.
Author Publicist
As a bestselling international author, knowing the distinct area of needs for promoting book authors and creative types is very important to me.
A passionate role I serve is to obtain credible one line comments about your book from important and influential people. It is essential to work strategically by understanding what key publications are important for reviews about your book in mass media and magazines. Let's have a discussion about accomplishing this goal, today!
Entertainment / Corporate Publicist
What's the number one priority in brand strategy for your company? Connecting affluent consumers to your brand through simple and engaging communication.
As an entertainment and corporate publicist, I will create a clear message to the public about you and your business, or project, to obtain maximum ROI. obtaining positive reviews about movies and music, retaining loyal and attracting new customers for brands and products, goods and services, arranging photo shoots, interviews, and post-production shoots. It has to stand for something.
It has to be a lifestyle. It has to tell stories that will yield engagement. It is also valuable to obtain behind-the-scene photos. Of all the different publicist profiles, this one is the most important.
"You are an inspiration they can't stop talking about!"
Music Publicist
As specified in recent areas, I apply my public relations skills and media knowledge to help a music artist maintain his or her desired public image. This includes helping to market the artists' work, representing the artist through multiple corporate channels, arranging interviews with the media, and writing speeches.
Helping an artist to book a paid performance is another area we may discuss.
Bodybuilding/Fitness Publicist
To be honest, most people believe this profession mirrors an actor & model profession. I am here to tell you that it does not. Bodybuilding and fitness professionals highly rely on sponsorship.
Sponsors are looking for fit athletes who not only have a basic knowledge of supplements but know their supplements (or products). Taking just one or two of a company's supplements won't get you signed.
You need to have a wide range of use and knowledge of the product line. They also want outgoing athletes who are not afraid to go into gyms or stores and ask to do demos.
Your attitude, personality, and how you present yourself will be big selling points to sponsors. Even if you don't think that you are naturally outgoing or good around large groups of people, you can still get sponsored!
This is where we can identify how to be strategic with your identity and how it will translate through product promotion, selling and service. Photo: Steven Cuoco media coverage for MuscleMania® & Fitness America®

WhatsApp Wasn't A 'Desperate Acquisition' For Facebook
Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) $16 billion acquisition might seem extreme, but Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia said that it shouldn't remind users of the bloated dot-com days.
"I think it is quite different this time around," he told Benzinga. "Facebook is not struggling. This isn't like a desperate acquisition."
Bhatia said that when you look at WhatsApp's core user base (which includes more than 450 million monthly active users) and where it's headed, the price is "actually reasonable."
"Imagine when they have a billion users and they're charging $1 per user per year, you could be looking at a billion dollars in revenue, [and] most of that's gonna be profit," he said.
Paying With Stock
Bhatia said that Facebook is really benefiting from the fact that its "currency" (Facebook's stock price) is very strong.
"The stock price is at an all-time high, so that works to their advantage," said Bhatia. "They can buy this company for eight percent of their shares and then calculate if this is gonna be worth it or not. You have to look at it that way when you look at the price tag. When they bought Instagram, everybody had the same reaction. A billion dollars!? I think at that time those guys had 30 million users."
That comes out to roughly $30 per user. Bhatia estimated that Facebook is paying $42 per WhatsApp user.
"Again, a lot of it was in stock, so if Facebook shares were half where they are today, you would say that they bought it for half the price. They're using their stock as currency. I think that helps them. That's the silver lining in the otherwise sticker shock that they have."
Related: Did Instagram Get Screwed By Facebook's $1 Billion Payout?
If Facebook had been successful in its attempt to acquire Snapchat, Bhatia estimated that the company would have paid $100 per user.
"[WhatsApp] is 15 times larger than Snapchat and growing like a weed," Bhatia added. "This is a different scale and a different use case. This is unique. Whether or not they got Snapchat, [WhatsApp] may have still been on their radar."
Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this report.

Leibowitz wrote: You can buffer YPD at almost any pH using various phosphate or citrate buffers. However, if you plan to pour plates, add the buffer after autoclaving, since at extremely acid pH, the agar will be damaged under autoclave conditions and the plates will never solidify (and they are really messy to discard!). You will need to test how much buffer to add; I have never done the whole range of pH values. Mike Leibowitz UMDNJ-RW Johnson Medical School Dear Dr. Leibowitz and others who may be interested in pH-adjusted media, Overall I am in accord with Dr. Leibowitz, but I have found some practical problems while I tried to make YPD or SC with acid pH. I hope there will have been some discussions about this so that we could get a recipe for pH-adjusted media: First, since medium ingredients themselves can affect pH, I could not get the pH I want after adding correct ratio of buffer solutions. I tried to make YPD or SC with pH 2.0 by adding citrate-phosphate buffer, but I found that actually I got pH 3.5 after measuring pH. I hope there could be standard recipe for how much buffers being added to media to get different pH. Second, the difference between supposed-to-be pH and actual pH make it difficult to make plates. As mentioned above by Dr. Leibowitz, pH for plates should be measured after autoclave. However, if you don't get the pH you want after adding, for example, x mL of Buffer A and y mL of Buffer B according to buffer recipes, you probably need to use pH meter and re-autoclave again. I never tried this before, but is it alright to autoclave twice. Third, after I votexed vigorously YPD broth and adding buffer to get acidic pH, I got some precipitates while SC media was clear after being adjusted to acid pH. Does this mean that I should add buffer after autoclaving to make the YPD? Thank you for the attention. Namjin Chung, who knows little and asks a lot!
