We, the safaikaramcharis, have launched a country wide yatra The Bhim Yatra, a journey of pain and anguish, to tell the country and the government to STOP KILLING US in dry latrines, sewers and septic tanks. The Bhim Yatra will criss-cross across the country for 125 days in 500 districts in 30 states from 10th December 2015 and end in Delhi on 13th April 2016, on the eve of the 125th birth centenary of our great leader Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Our honourable parliamentarians are celebrating while millions of us across the country are being forced into manual scavenging and sewer holes to die. We have been denied the right to dignity in both life and death.
Why, The Bhim Yatra ?
Since 1982 we have been raising our voice against this violence and discrimination. We organised, mobilised and campaigned against this atrocity and for the demolition of the dry latrines, the visible structures of the inhuman caste system and its link with this dehumanising occupation.
In 1993 the parliament passed the The Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (prohibition) Act 1993, with imprisonment for up to one year and/or a fine of Rs 2,000. This law was never implemented and no convictions were made during the 20 years it was in force. The government made many false promises to eliminate this heinous practice. Nothing happened. We consistently exposed the lies and hypocrisy of the government surveys and schemes. In 2000 when the government counted only 679,000 manual scavengers, we came out with 1.3 million in randomly selected states and districts. The Prime Minister and chief ministers made token statements of setting deadlines. 1995, then 2000, then 2003, then 2005, then 2010, and then 2012
Nothing changed!
In 2003 we filed the Public Interest Litigation in the Supreme Court. There was an ironical pattern in the government responses. First, a total denial of existence of manual scavenging, next partial admission when we produced photographic evidence and finally, faking compliance by dubiously destroying only those places, presented in our evidence.
In 2007, with the solidarity and support of civil society groups and public leaders, we launched the Action 2010 campaign to end manual scavenging by December 2010. Nothing moved. So we started out on the historical bus yatra in October 2010. This Samajik Parivartan Yatra which was the first of its kind, journeyed the entire country. Many Women and men came out from manual scavenging and led the Yatra which ended in Delhi with a mammoth public meeting. The women in the Yatra took the stage and their powerful speeches shook the nation.
Apart from these social actions, we submitted memorandums to the President, Prime minister, ministries, statutory bodies and National Advisory Council. The memorandums demanded for the implementation of the 1993 Act and a rehabilitation package. The NAC passed a resolution on 23 October 2010 to end manual scavenging by 31st March 2012. After the Yatra, the then Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment invited us for a discussion. We met him on 30th December 2010 and submitted the nationwide data that we collected during the yatra. Following this meeting, the Ministry of Social justice and Empowerment convened the national consultation on 24th and 25th January 2011 which resulted in the setting up of four task forces - to review the act, conduct a national survey, revise the rehabilitation package and sanitation solutions. The President of India in her speech to the parliament at the start of the budget session, in March 2012 announced the draft for a new bill for prohibition of manual scavenging. The Government of India passed the new Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act 2013 in September 2013 and issued Government notification in December 2013.
Further, after 12 long years, the Supreme Court passed the Judgment order on 27th March, 2014 on the writ petition (civil) no. 583 of 2003, Safai Karamchari Andolan & Ors Versus Union of India & Ors., directing all the State Governments and the Union Territories to (i)fully implement and take appropriate action for non-implementation as well as violation of the provisions contained in the 2013 Act, (ii) to prevent deaths in sewer holes and septic tanks and make the manual cleaning of sewers and septic tanks a crime even in emergency situations and (iii) to give compensation of Rs.10 lakhs to families of all persons who have died in manholes and septic tanks since 1993. But even one year after, many deaths have occurred in sewer holes across the country. Safai Karamchari Andolan has reported 1327 sewer and septic tank deaths. Less than 3 percent have received compensation.
The government is absolutely negligent in implementing the Prohibition of Employment of Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act 2013 and the Supreme Court order. When deaths occur, FIRs are never filed. Only after heavy pressure and agitation, FIRs are filed, as death due to negligence and never under the Manual Scavenging Prohibition Act and SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act. This blatant violation of the constitution is taking away the lives of the safaikaramcharis in sewers and septic tanks. It is extremely disturbing that these deaths which are increasing day by day seems to be intentional.
The parliament held a discussion on "commitment to the constitution" to mark the 125 birth centenary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar when they have utterly failed in protecting the constitutional rights of the manual scavengers. They are just empty rhetoric devoid of all meaning and purpose. It is a scandal and shame that such events are held within the sanctity of the parliament.
The Bhim Yatra is a journey of intolerance of the violence, discrimination and violation of our constitutional and fundamental rights. This journey is to expose the hypocrisy in the speeches and actions of the leaders and the shame of manual scavenging still rampant in the 21st century. The Bhim Yatra will simultaneously spread Ambedkars ideas of social justice, liberty, equality and fraternity while proclaiming his war cry educate, organise and agitate.
The Bhim Yatra was launched from Vishva Yuvak Kendra, Delhi on 10th December, 2015 and started from Dibrugarh, Assam on 11th December, 2015. The journey will move continuously for 125 days from one state to another, covering 30 states and 500 districts and will end on April 13th 2016 in Delhi. Please be part of this yatra.
Ours is a battle not for wealth; nor for power, ours is a battle for freedom; for reclamation of human personality. Dr.B.R.Ambedkar
Jai Bhim!

Both heads include a stall shower. The starboard crew cabin is fit with upper and lower single berths that kids will love. The onboard cook will appreciate the ample space allocated to the galley; a double sink, large front and top load icebox, 4-burner LPG stove and large storage areas. Taking full advantage of the raised coach roof, extensive ventilation, light and airy are the best descriptions for the main salon and navigation station area of the boat. Whether it's long weekends aboard, summer cruises or offshore destination cruising, the 4700 can be tailored to satisfy your sailing lifestyle.
The 4700's deck features wide side decks, extensive ventilation in a wide array of stainless steel port lights and hatches, and a large and comfortable cockpit with all sail controls led aft for sailing convenience. Tartan owners put sailing performance first, and the 4700 deck plan is optimized to allow her crew to efficiently tweak sail shape and trim from the security of the cockpit and helm areas. Her all chrome winches and polished stainless hardware are from the best suppliers in the industry. Few yachts can match the ventilation of a Tartan and the 4700 continues the theme with 12 opening port lights and 9 deck hatches. Dockside or sailing, the cockpit is the center of on board activities, rack and pinion steering, long contoured seating and a walkthrough transom platform provide comfort and convenience.
Efficient sailing performance is at the core of every Jackett designed Tartan. The new 4700 has been fit with the CCR sail plan, which was originally introduced on the Boat of the Year award winning Tartan 3400.. The rig features a tall fractional working sail plan with a self tacking jib for upwind work and a masthead 155% reacher for great off wind performance. A carbon fiber pocketboom with integral lazy jacks and sail cover help tame the main, while still allowing the sail maker the latitude to build a fully battened, high performance mainsail. Of course a large sail plan requires great stability, and the all lead bulb keel and light and strong carbon fiber mast combine to provide excellent sail carrying ability, a high range of positive stability and a sea kindly motion offshore.

If Clemson has any shot at beating South Carolina for the first time in four years, it is going to need to rely on its outstanding players on offense to have a better showing than last season. The Gamecocks' defense dominated, and Clemson scored only 13 points. Clemson is much better offensively this season, and so is quarterback Tajh BoydTajh Boyd

Hello hello. It's been a week with a bunch of crazy events that have happened one day after the next. What's even more crazy is how another week has flown by. The weeks are getting faster and faster every time. I hope all of you are doing well and are enjoying what you are doing. It's great being here on the mission and serving others, there is truly no other thing that brings this much joy even though it is a lot of work. I'm glad that I decided to go on a mission and help others come unto Christ and help them build a relationship with Him to increase their joy.
We met a new family this last week, the Odians. They are a part member family that have been taught for awhile and have gone through a bunch of missionaries. Turns out that the husband is the member and has always been less active, the wife said "jack" but less active sounds better, more hopeful I would say. They like the church but because the wife nor the kids have grown up as a church-going people they have never felt or had the desire to go to Church. We had a nice conversation trying to get to know them and it was good seeing how the gospel has blessed them with a light that they probably don't see. They love tennis and the outdoors so Malibu is perfect for them haha. Anyways we talked about prayer and how that is the driving force that leads the members to do what they do. They liked the idea of receiving an answer through their prayer and said to come back the following week. Way excited to teach them and see their faith grow. Hopefully they will progress and be able to partake of all the blessings of the gospel and see their lives change. There is really nothing greater than being obedient and, in turn, being blessed. The funny thing is that you would think that is the opposite but it totally is not. Love the scripture that takes about the first being last and the last being first. And to the society today that seems to be contrary. But it is so true. Being selfless, as a missionary, has brought more joy into my life despite I do nothing for me. It is the best cure for anything. I wish I could have discovered that at the beginning of my mission when most missionaries struggle because they are out of the norm. But I'm glad I have noticed it now. We also visited with Ruth and had a good time with her. We had a good lesson on how agency is based upon knowledge. Related it to the gospel in the sense that one of these days she is going to have to teach her children the same things that the church stands for and hopefully it wouldn't be too late for her. Don't know how she felt about the lesson but I know that it made her think about how she wants to raise her children and who she wants them to become. I'm so thankful for my parents and having them take me to church those countless times that I didn't want to go. There are true principles in gospel living and those principles are only founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ. After all He is the only perfect person to walk to earth, I know of that because I know that as I have strived to follow His footsteps that it has brought forth many blessings that are good. There are so many good things in the world we just got to know where to find them. Chino also came back this last week. So it was good meeting with him on Sunday. Oh and I almost forgot that we met up with the Aldens this last week. It is always fun to meet up with them. They are those kind of people who are down to earth and help you relax somehow. Brother Alden told us a story about fireworks when he was younger. He said that when we was younger he shot off some bottle rockets with his friends up in the air, not really thinking about the consequences of doing that. Now the consequence in this case is definitely not one that you would expect in any case haha. He said that there were bats in his city and one time he shot one up in the air and the bat swooped down and caught it thinking that it was a bug. Of course, the bottle rocket blew up and the bat came spiraling down dead. I think that this is one of those stories that you have to hear but it was funny haha. He invited us to share that story with someone and relate it to the gospel. Haven't had the chance to but I'm determined. There are so many things that can relate to the gospel in that story. If any of you have any ideas let me know I would love to hear them!
As a pre-disclosure, I'm OK, everything is OK and so there is nothing to worry about. On Tuesday we went to the Odian's house, a part member family that the Bishop asked us to go visit. On our way there we saw two horses walk out of a driveway and we kept looking to see if there was someone following them. Turns out that there was no one home and the horses got loose. Dad I think they were quarter horses but I could be wrong, you probably would have liked to see them. Anyways since a bunch of members over here in Malibu have some horses I knew that two horses by themselves is not a good thing so we called some members that lived down the street and they literally dropped everything (he was on the phone for a job interview) and came to help us with the horses. Funny thing was that by the time they had gotten there, which couldn't have been more than 3 minutes, 3 or 4 cars pulled up asking us who's horses they were and if everything was OK. Luckily we saw what driveway they came from and got them put back to where they belong. The cool thing was that they were really tame and with my "horse training" that I learned from the members I approached them calmly and got something to tie around their neck and they were perfectly fine with it. Feel a great sense of accomplishment if I saw so myself. Haha. Of course this would only happen in Malibu but I still feel blessed for the opportunity to serve in various way on my mission. Alright the other thing was pretty scary, not really, just something that you don't necessarily want to happen, especially when you want to go home because you are tired. As we were driving down our road to get to our apartment we saw a bunch of cop cars blocking the way with their cars and tap and it so happened to be in front of our apartment. We tried to go the back way and still they had it blocked off so we were stranded trying to figure out what we were going to do for the night. Turns out that in the apartment right next to us (this is everything that the neighbours have told us; didn't want to know too much but they told us none the less), an ex-boyfriend of a girl who recently moved in got way mad because she had a new boyfriend in a new apartment. He got mad and started attacking the girl with a knife. The boyfriend ran off to go and try to get some help but the neighbour beat him to it. She called the police and the police came over and shot him since he didn't put the weapon down. Sad story. We don't really know what happened to the girl, we think that she is in the hospital and so yeah. Bummer. They eventually let us into our apartments, probably because they figured out who we were and weren't going to do anything that would do any harm to the crime scene. None the less, it was an eventful night with a lot of noise and lights the entire night. No worries everything is OK. I don't live in the ghetto actually, every member that knows where we live think that is a good area to live in. Just a freak event in the area.
Well sorry for the short email. Always busy. Hope all is well. Love you so much and miss you too. Peace

Utilising processes from a world-class creative business and leadership school in Hanoi, this session discusses common stages of an entrepreneur's evolution from the Calling, to the Journey, to the Breakthrough and discovering the Gift. This workshop is ideal for personal leadership development and those seeking to make a positive difference in the world, starting from themselves.

2a - Scaling Your Impact: From your desktop to world (Speakers: Amar Reddy, Pollinate Energy, India / Anita Kerr Nepali, Seven Women, Nepal) - Your big ideas may start in your bedroom, but they definitely shouldn't stay there!

You will not be short of expert advice in this session with our speakers offering constructive stories from their own successes and failures in expanding their enterprises.

2b - Enterprising Education: A new vision of transformative learning (Speakers: Vibha Joshi & Chinmay Vadnere, Parallel Voyages, India / Julian O'Shea, Laika Academy, Australia) - Whilst learning about social change and entrepreneurship in books is a great start, real change happens when you step out into the world and make it happen. Many successful social entrepreneurs in the world today often found their calling after being confronted with an issue first hand, whether it be visiting marginalised women overseas or witnessing homelessness in their own community. In this session, participants will explore the power of innovative education programs that break people out of the lecture theatre and push them into the world, thus motivating action for positive change. In doing so, speakers will share their vision for a new kind of education and offer their tips and tools for designing memorable and inspiring programs that combine education, adventure and social change.
Parallel Session 3
3a - Journey with a Difference: Using community based tourism for rural development (Speakers: Ha Ngugen, KHAC, Vietnam) - Sometimes navigating your way through the see of websites advertising volun-tourism trips overseas can be tricky territory and its hard to know if your actually contributing in a positive way. In this session, Ha offers a exciting alternative for the conscious traveller that guarantees both a direct positive impact for local communities and an authentic cultural experience that travellers will remember forever. Community based tourism emphasises the development of local communities and allows for local residents to have substantial control over and involvement in their own tourism industry with a major proportion of the benefits remaining within the community. By sharing activities such as festivals, homestays, and the production of artisan goods, community-based tourism allows rural communities to participate in the modern economy while cultivating a sustainable source of income and maintaining their way of life. Got some travel coming up or keen to implement this idea elsewhere? Then don't miss Ha's workshop on the ins, outs, ups and downs of creating a thriving community based tourism company.

Huy is a humanitarian engineer, social entrepreneur and is an expert in the disability sector.

By virtue of thoughtful and active planning, Mount Allison's new Planning to Give model allows donors to build a sustainable legacy fund over time.
Giving back to Mount Allison through planned giving is a true testament to one's relationship with an institution that has helped shape you as a person. It provides an active opportunity to make a gift that will have a transformative impact on the lives of students and faculty, helping to sustain and build on the University's unique environment for future generations to enjoy — as previous benefactors may have done for you.
An immediate gift to Mount Allison — in concert with long-term gift planning in the form of a bequest — enables you to envision your legacy to Mount Allison while witnessing the immediate impact of your gift.
In the course of active gift planning, there are three giving cycles:
Foundational cycle
The foundational cycle establishes a named endowment, which the benefactor can build over time. An endowment usually starts with a major gift of $25,000 to $50,000 or more, which can be presented through a one-time gift or a pledge to give over time, usually five years. An endowment of $50,000 would yield an annual spending allocation of approximately $2,000 to support the initiative of the benefactor's choice — for example, a scholarship or bursary.
Growth cycle
Once an endowment fund is established, benefactors can continue providing annual contributions, as they see fit, through the Annual Giving Fund. These annual gifts, plus the endowment's investment returns, create growth in the capital of the endowment, which in turn provides for increased annual spending allocations.
Legacy cycle
At the end of the benefactor's life, an estate gift, usually in the form of a bequest, is added to the existing endowment. At this point, the endowment fund reaches its full value — the culmination of the major gift, the annual giving, and the bequest. The fund is robust, generating an annual disbursement in perpetuity to support the initiative set out by the benefactor.

People are provided easy access to loans and credit cards. Now people buy each and every product they wish to with the help of credit card. Keeping in mind all this, the lenders have designed an unsecured loan. This loan mainly serves non-homeowners and tenants.
The loan seeker pays off bad debts, and the money they borrow can be used for any purpose they desire to. Click Finance | unsecured loans services help people avail unsecured loans in a very easy manner. People get to use this money for clearing other debts or holidaying purpose.

Harry Leckstein, Managing Director, Tileyard Education, said "University of Wales Trinity Saint David is a new powerhouse of industry-centric creative entrepreneurship and as such there is a deep sense of shared vision and passion with Tileyard to drive forward the interconnectivity between higher education, creative industry and new technology. This first MA programme is ideally suited to aspiring creative entrepreneurs keen to harness the largest professional music community in Europe."

The backing and support of a well-respected and creative University like NTU is a hugely positive step into its bright future.

Tileyard Education have partnered with PSI Audio to provide our students with the very best in near field monitoring in our production writing rooms and our recording studio control room.
The story of PSI Audio started in 1975 when Alain Roux started producing his first speakers while studying at EPFL in Lausanne. Two years later Alain started making a profit selling his speakers and decided to found a company called Roux Electroacoustique. In 1988 the company became a Limited Company and was renamed Relec SA. At this time Alain also relocated the company in to a new purpose built facility in Yverdon-les-Bains.
Over the years, Alain and his team developed a huge variety of speakers starting from the Hi-Fi industry, Public Address systems all the way to Professional Studio applications. Many speakers where also produced as OEM products under the brand names of respected international companies. Several of these products have gone on to win the industry's most desirable awards.
PSI Audio has developed to become a respected worldwide brand, producing the ultimate professional studio monitors. PSI Audio now offers a full range of highly innovative speakers with cutting edge fully analogue technology.
Tileyard Education are honoured to partner with Marshall and Marshall Records, based at Tileyard, to provide our creative and business students with with very best in vintage and contemporary amplification.
An unquestionable legacy, the Marshall story has grown from the humble west London high street into the most iconic music brand of all time.
On Thursday July 7th, 1962, Jim Marshall and Son music shop opened its doors at 76 Uxbridge Road, Hanwell, London. Opened by Jim's old drum teacher, Max Abrams, the shop sold a variety of musical instruments, from brass and woodwind, to Jim's favourite – drums.
It was here where Jim met many guitarists, like Pete Townshend and Ritchie Blackmore, who persuaded him to stock guitars and amplifiers in his shop. And it was through talking with this new breed of rock 'n' roll guitarist that Jim realised they couldn't find the sound they were looking for. So Jim decided to give them what they wanted, and with his small team began to produce Marshall amplifiers.
The rest, as they say, is….
Tileyard Education are delighted to partner with Spitfire Audio to offer students access to the incredible range of virtual instruments in the world. In addition, Spitfire have joined our Bursary Scheme to offer one MA student annually a significant contribution to their study fees.
Spitfire produces the finest virtual instruments from the finest musical samples in the world. It is a beacon of quality not just for it's own productions but the endorsements it offers to third party sample developers and fellow sound smiths it goes into production partnerships with. At the heart of Spitfire's evolution is the greatest recorded selection of orchestral samples on the planet thus far, alongside a recent expansion in scope to cover all areas of the music spectrum.
Spitfire was set up by a British group of composers, sound smiths, producers, engineers and technologists wanting to revolutionise sampling and bring it back to the centre of the music industry. Like any new music technology from radio to synthesisers, sampling was perceived as a threat to music making and music makers. Spitfire is at the vanguard of changing that opinion – Spitfire's main goal is to promote British music making the world over whilst (via an ever growing distribution chain) distributing royalties to it's contributors (musicians, engineers, technicians, artists and producers) based on sales.

Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr., Universal Audio has been synonymous with innovative recording products since its inception. A favorite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles and more, the late Bill Putnam Sr. was a passionate innovator who is widely regarded as the father of modern recording — with many of his legendary studio and equipment designs still in use today.
Specifically, Putnam was the inventor of the modern recording console, the multi-band audio equalizer, and the vocal booth, and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverberation in commercial recording. Alongside his friend Les Paul, Putnam was also involved in the early development of stereophonic recording.
Putnam, a natural entrepreneur, started three audio product companies during his long career: Universal Audio, Studio Electronics, and UREI. All three companies built equipment that remains widely used decades after their introduction, including the ubiquitous LA-2A and 1176 compressors, and the 610 tube recording console. The 610 console in particular stands as one of the most beloved designs in audio history, used to record everyone from Sinatra to the Beach Boys to Van Halen's eponymous debut.
EPA are passionate about playing multiple harmonics of instruments and maintaining their timbre.
The company's full name (Esoteric Pro Audio) summarises the aim and the ambition of all the people working in it, hence the project of taking to a professional high-level the experience of the world of home audio systems to have a real live sensation.
The EPA concept is to use small parts, therefore with very light moving mass, in order to have a very high damping factor (less weight has less inertia) and then to play as much as possible the harmonics of the instruments and maintain their timbre. To arrive at these objectives it is essential to have a very fast, dynamic, and transparent sound.
The goal is to have all the tools well separated from each other, so that they can focus individually, even in situations of full orchestra. EPA Sound are dedicated to real sound for music lovers, and guarantee that every listening experience will be a unique experience.
As one of the leading retailers of Professional Audio Recording Equipment in the UK, Kazbar Systems supplied Abbey Road Studios, the most legendary and world-class studio in London, with two pairs of Focal SM9 Active Monitor Speakers in 2016.
They provide top-quality studio equipment to many recognisable and sought-after studios, for example: Notting Hill Music, who organises the world's biggest music networking event every month at Tileyard Studios.
Kazbar Systems have partnered with Tileyard Education to provide us with quality sound, every Tuesday for our live open mic sessions for our MA students, and the wider community.

We are two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with typically overscheduled and busy lives. And, we have always been big fans of plain water. Pure, natural, no gimmicks… we live active lifestyles, but knew that (alas!) drinking like our favorite sports figures wouldn't actually make us perform more like them. However, we started to discover that plain water wasn't always what we needed. We weren't recovering quickly from modest workouts. Long days of travel were too draining. Headaches would set in after full days in meetings (maybe it was just the meetings…). But we were loyal water drinkers- we couldn't possibly be routinely dehydrated.
Then, on one particularly hot afternoon, we decided we needed something more. After going to literally 10 pharmacies and asking for a product to help with dehydration, the only advice we heard was "avoid sports drinks, too much sugar" and "try a children's electrolyte replacement beverage". Being parents, we knew about that option- but we weren't toddlers, and we weren't nauseous and vomiting. We wanted something that could help us return to our active lives that didn't involve caffeine or other stimulants we couldn't pronounce. Then, a physician described to us how one organization- the World Health Organization, had medically mastered an electrolyte formula to optimize and speed recovery from dehydration.
Well, we tried it. Though the taste left something to be desired, the effectiveness was unlike anything we had ever experienced. We started tinkering with the flavor- to make something we enjoyed drinking and that didn't compromise effectiveness. Hence, H2ORS was born.
We have been drinking it ever since- after workouts, during travel, after long days at conferences, and yes even in those rare instances when we were nauseous, it helped us more than any other product we had ever tried. Our kids ask to drink it. Doctors now recommend it, and so do we.

I made for my best friend, Sammie's birthday.
It's a little hand pincushion and a sheep pin topper. Just in case you didn't know. She collects pincushions so she should have one of mine right? But, I think I need to work on it a little more before I package it up and mail it out before the 18th. I think I need to look at it awhile and fiddle with it before I have it just the way I want it. Because once it's in the box ... it's gone.
And then ... I just might make one for me!

Salon du Champagne Business Developer
I'm passionate by champagne, I think that I taste around 1500 cuvee per year. So I started 2 Masters at Troyes (in Champagne) where I get my WSET level 2.
During the 2nd edition of the Salon du Champagne, I was helping a friend as an exposant, it's when I met the Wiine.me team. At this moment, I worked to create my own Champagne company but I had abandoned everything and took the occasion to work with the Wiine.me team and mostly for the Salon du Champagne with Kat.
Since may 2016, I organise events and taste wines that we select so specially for you.
Why Wiine.me ?
After that I've sent them dozen of emails to have my chance to join the team. Then, during a lunch, after a champagne tasting, Kat & Claire announced me that they would like having me with them in the team!
What do you do at Wiine.Me ?
Now, I'm in charge of the business development of our Wine Tastings and their organisation. I'm also in charge of the management of the Salon du Champagne 2017.

"The only living thing on this island is you, I am afraid." Dante snapped a twig from a nearby branch crumbling it between his fingers.
Fallon became mindful of how her words must sound to the vampire in her midst. He had told her often how his existence was not a life at all, but merely a holding place between living and death. His electric blue eyes dulled against the 3 a.m. moon, a harsh reminder her rant had put the dimness there.
Deep in her heart she could feel the pain of his hell. "I'm sorry, Dante." Fallon brushed her fingertips across the hard muscles of his forearm igniting within her a strange warmth. Burgundy began to swim in the blue orbs until the cobalt coloring of his eyes was mere specks. From past interactions with this large vampire she knew his blood lust was on the surface now. Dante turned from her, ripping a dead tree from the ground by its roots, throwing it against another tree. Both trees splintered before falling to the ground.
"You did not make me the monster I am today, so there is no need for you to be sorry," he growled.
His back heaved with a weighty sigh when she touched his shoulder. "You're not a monster," Fallon whispered.
Dante turned to face her. Pearl white fangs glistened against the night. Eyes dark as blood stared back at her. "Look at me. Truly look at me. What else would you call a man who steals you away in the dead of night from all you are accustomed too? A man who survives solely on the blood running through the veins of humans. A man who should long have been buried in the ground with the rest of his people. Whose island died with the people who once walked these very grounds."
Fallon rested her hand over his heart. "Your heart still beats within your chest. I feel the emotions coursing through you, just as if they were my own. Dead men don't feel in such a manner."
He closed his hand over hers, sending a sudden charge of heat to her fingertips. For the first time in months, Fallon could feel her magic returning.
She slipped from his grasp, concentrating on the energy filling her. She lifted her palms heavenward. Suddenly reddish orange bubbles began to seep from her palms, rising upward. She opened her eyes wide with surprise.
"Your magic is returning," Dante exclaimed.
"If I were a Water witch I would be thrilled," Fallon laughed. "Unfortunately, I'm a Fire witch."
