As Pennsylvania Divorce Lawyers, adoptions tend to be the most uplifting area of our practice. It really is a joy to bring families together, especially when much of our work involves families that are drifting apart. But one thing that may surprise is the rate at which adoptions fail or "break." "Broken adoptions" occur for a variety of reasons - the death of an adoptive parent, another adult filing for guardianship, abuse or neglect by an adoptive parent, or an adoptive parent electing to place a child back in foster care. Although there aren't statistics to track the number of children who end up back in the family court, their birth parents' home or foster care after adoption, it is clear that "broken adoptions" are common across the country.
Although once hidden in the shadows, "broken adoptions" have been making headline news recently. Specifically, stories of "re-homing" - where parents send their problematic adoptees to live with strangers found on the internet - have made a significant impact. There's the story of a Tennessee nurse who sent her 7-year-old adopted son back to his native Russia on a plane, alone. Then there's the story of another adoptive mother who admitted to giving her two adopted daughters away to another family.
Adoption experts argue that the problem is twofold. First, many adoptive parents are ill-prepared for the challenges that come with raising a child who has lived in an orphanage or been bounced around in the foster care system. Second, when the families start to encounter trouble, there are very few post-adoption resources to turn to for help. As a result, many families struggle with horrific behavioral and psychological problems on the part of adopted children who have been abused or neglected prior to their adoption. These children are in need of special help and the parents are in need of training to cope with their child's needs.
While there are some supports in place for parents who have adopted from the foster care system in the US, the programs are limited to domestic adoptions and are woefully inadequate. Experts argue that adoption agencies, which typically get paid handsomely by parents completing overseas adoptions, have a moral responsibility to provide post-adoption services to families. After-all, shouldn't the agency that brought the family together have an interest in keeping the family from falling apart?

Coachella 2018 Weekend 1 Passes Sold Out: How You Can Still Get Tickets To See Beyonce
If you're weeping because advanced tickets sales for Weekend 1 of Coachella 2018 — where Beyonce will be performing — are already sold out, don't fret! There's still a chance for you to see her live in concert at the biggest music festival of the year. Find out how, here!
OMG! Weekend 1 passes for Coachella 2018 were sold out in less than two hours after they became available on June 2, and Twitter users started freaking out immediately (see their tweets below). But don't worry — this was just the advanced ticket sale period, so even if you don't snag Weekend 2 passes while they're available, there's still a chance for you to see Beyonce live in concert next year. Confused? Let us explain…
The advance tickets sale is the only one to offer a layaway plan, one in which you can pay for the tickets in seven installments. And that one's now sold out — well, Weekend 1 is. So while you can no longer purchase tickets with a payment plan for that weekend, there will be another sale once the full lineup is announced. At this point, we only know Beyonce is headlining, as she cancelled her spot at the 2017 festival and rescheduled for 2018 due to her pregnancy.
The 2018 festival will be held over two weekends next spring — April 13 to April 15 and April 20 to April 22. General admission passes were priced at $429, while VIP festival passes are $999. Both prices are an increase over last year's show. It's not clear if Beyonce's presence has anything to do with that or not. Click here to see pics from Coachella 2017!

Students that participated in MAHG's first trip to Rwanda's Peace-Building Institute in Kigali during June 2017 share their thoughts about the study tour below.
Initial Impressions, Changing Opinions
By Adrienne Parvin
Everything I thought I knew about Rwanda was wrong. I say this in the best possible way – this country was more beautiful, more peaceful, more cohesive, than I could have ever have imagined. As an American student studying genocide, my expectations were obviously shaped to a certain degree by the horrific imagery that came from the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. Though I knew that the country had made strides in its recovery, I believe a piece of me was still expecting the utter chaos that I had seen all too often in my studies. At the very least, I expected some kind of justification for the bewilderment I felt thinking of victims and perpetrators reconciling and living together in close proximity once again. I thought that I would find tangible evidence of the genocide at every turn.
Looking back, I realize this was unbelievably naïve. My experiences in Rwanda showed me that the genocide is not merely a blight on the history of the nation, or a dark chapter that no one in the country was willing to address. Instead, it has become a driving force of societal change. The legacy of the genocide was present, but it was not a hushed, shameful secret. Moreover, the circumstances of the genocide were not up for debate. The genocide was openly acknowledged across the country, visible to some extent in every province we were fortunate enough to visit in our short two weeks. If you were strong enough to ask, anyone would talk to you about it, even when the violence had impacted their lives personally. The terminology used was specific – it was not the Rwandan genocide, rather the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The pain was still there.
There were many instances that left me stunned and unsure how to carry forward. I remember being jarred by the words of one of the presenters from the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide. In the middle of explaining his role within the organization, he shared with us, in a matter-of- fact tone, that his neighbor had killed both of his parents. The pain was there, thinly veiled, but the weight of his presentation, with an emphasis on making change to better society, overpowered it. Action, peacebuilding, and change were the motivating factors. I did not encounter a single individual who was motivated by hatred or a desire for revenge.
Another example: on our last day of the Peacebuilding Institute, we listened to the stories of three individuals—a survivor, a rescuer, and a perpetrator. The three of them sat together at the front of the room. It seemed so bizarre to me, to listen to the story of a man who had openly admitted to killing Tutsi and been found guilty in the gacaca courts. He wept as he spoke about the guilt he felt once he realized what he had really done. Later, as our group went downstairs in the hotel for lunch, the room was crowded. The man was looking for a seat, so a friend and I gestured to the open seat at our table. We ate lunch in silence; neither my friend nor I spoke any Kinyarwanda, and he spoke little English. Still, I felt the tension thrumming through every minute of our lunch. I wondered if he could tell that I was uncomfortable. I wondered if this was what was going on underneath the surface of daily life. As someone who had not even experienced the genocide, I was amazed at how stable daily life was in a country that had endured something so horrific. Yet all around us, life was carrying on.
These thoughts would come to me now and then, as the imagery I had grown familiar with overlapped with reality. As we visited the Nyamata Memorial, I found that I felt a prickling of anxiety as I saw groups of young men passing by with farming tools slung over their shoulders. It was surreal to stand at the place of a massacre, to see the way that daily life had moved on, to wonder what the experiences of those individuals would have been in 1994. Yet there was nothing inherently threatening about them. They were all smiling, the town remained quiet and peaceful.
Yes, the anxiety was there, but in reflecting on my time in Rwanda, it is not what I remember most. The strangeness was a temporary feeling, the unease of adjusting my mind to consider that the country was not the same as it was just twenty-three years prior.
Reflecting on Rwanda, I think first and foremost about how kind and caring its people are, about the sense of hope that prevails among the youth, and about the beauty of a nation that takes pride in itself. The sense of community there was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Every area we visited was clean – even the streets were swept clean on a daily basis. We saw no litter, no excess waste, no careless disregard for the environment. Furthermore, there was a community, it was present at all hours of the day. Human beings interacting with each other, walking, talking, bartering, laughing. I was amazed by the fact that a group of three or four female tourists could wander the streets, even at night, and feel completely safe. In fact, on multiple occasions complete strangers went out of their way to greet us or to help us get to our destination safely. For the first time in a long time, I felt as though I were in a community where the inhabitants genuinely cared about each other.
The tensions are still there, yes. We discussed on many occasions how difficult it could be to teach younger generations that there is no ethnic divide among Rwandans when their parents still believe in and act as though they exist. We discussed how not everyone in the country is willing to recognize the reality of the genocide—even in Rwanda, there are those who attempt to minimize the scope of the killing, or to deny the totality with which Tutsi were hunted down. Denial exists everywhere after genocide.
But overwhelmingly, it was clear that Rwandans have grown to see themselves as one, unified people. The interests of the country rest in fostering a peaceful future. Memorials and education centers are scattered across the country and maintained reverently; these sites exist, in large part, for the survivors who find great comfort in having somewhere to mourn their lost loved ones. Moreover, they serve as undeniable evidence of what happened. They show us the faces and remains of the victims, they outline the progression from prejudice and hatred to genocide. Perhaps what was most surprising of all was that many of these sites addressed other genocides, like the Holocaust, Cambodia, and the Armenian genocide. In many ways, Rwanda's progress and openness to fighting genocide was like a breath of fresh air. It was refreshing to find organizations taking action instead of arguing about the details, or to see that a country could own up to its own shortcomings and actually move toward making a brighter future for its people.
Ultimately, what I experienced in Rwanda was a sense of hope, for their country and for the rest of the world. I'm not sure I could ever fully express all the ways that I was changed through this visit. The best I can do is encourage everyone to experience it on their own. It will change you, it will shift your perspective; it is definitely worth it.
Education as a Pathway to Reconciliation
By Amanda Solomon
After participating in the Peace Building Institute hosted by Never Again Rwanda, I can honestly say Rwanda models the power of education in genocide prevention and the promotion of positive peace.
On day 3 of the intensive two-week Institute, Dr. Erasme Rwanamiza, Director of Education at Aegis Trust – Rwanda, spoke with us about the role of education both in the creation of the conditions for genocide and in the prevention of genocide. As he spoke, I was captivated, for I have worked in education as a middle school math teacher and currently work as part of the education team at the Holocaust Museum and Center for Tolerance and Education in Rockland County, NY.
Dr. Rwanamiza described the development of genocidal ideology in three stages, beginning with hatred, progressing to conflict, and ending in violence. Furthermore, he presented the "Taxonomy of Violence vis-à- vis Peace" with the following visual:
I specifically liked how he balanced the negativity of violence with the positivity of peace in a cohesive graphic. When educating, it is not enough to tell students what not to do,. We must also provide options of what to do;. This is exactly what Dr. Erasme illustrates in his model. When there is no fear or violence, we promote positive peace. Explicitly differentiating between positive and negative peace was intriguing and thought provoking. Just because there is an absence of war or conflict does not mean that people, communities and countries are actively promoting peace. Positive peace is present when people and institutions demonstrate take steps to support and sustain peace-building projects and a more peaceful society.
Dr. Rwanamiza's focus on education's role in promoting positive peace in Rwanda was based on his analysis of the role that education played in the genocide, since genocide does not come out of nowhere and people need to be educated to kill. Educating people, through traditional methods or propaganda, is an essential component of the stages of genocide. In Rwanda, the Hutu Power government utilized radio propaganda to educate its people and dehumanize the Tutsis. Furthermore, identifying targeting Tutsis and encouraging genocide were broadcasted daily throughout the country. Less considered, but perhaps even more important, is what happens in education after genocide. Dr. Rwanamiza expressed that we must "deculturate", dismantle and unlearn the ideology, and then relearn pathways to peace. Otherwise the genocidal patterns and cycles of violence will continue through future generations. This sounds like an extremely daunting task, but he walked us through the complex and dynamic ways in which Rwanda has approached this situation through Peace Education.
As a former US-based public school educator, I was envious that Rwanda implements a NATIONAL peace and values education curriculum. Can you imagine? Every teacher receives training and every student learns from a common curriculum (not "standards"). Naturally, I asked about the elementary age students. What do they learn? The answer – students are taught empathy and ways of peace from a young age and only learn about the genocide in later years. Furthermore, Dr. Rwanamiza emphasized the importance of providing Peace Education to those who are considered the most influential in the communities. This was evident in my interactions with the Rwandans we met. I was impressed by the kindness and respect with which the Rwandan students carried themselves. Prior to asking the guest lecturers questions, the Rwandans would make a point to thank the presenter for coming. Such a small gesture makes a giant impact.
One aspect of his presentation that was particularly enlightening for me was the drastic differences Dr. Rwanamiza drew between peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peacebuilding. Peacekeeping occurs when national or multinational forces work with conflicting parties to end violence or prevent returning to violence. Peacemaking is a conciliatory process between conflicting parties in efforts to reach peace dispositions. Peacebuilding is the cornerstone of atrocity prevention and is crucial for the prevention of conflict in general. As such, the process of peacebuilding is essential genocide prevention.
After the lesson, I left feeling motivated and inspired. How can the United States learn from the Rwandan education system? What steps can we take to provide genocide prevention education in a national cohesive manner? I look forward to answering these questions in my upcoming semesters with the MAHG program.

Charlie and I arrived in San Pedro de Atacama at sunset on a Tuesday night– 24 hours late, pero que importa, we finally made it to the Atacama desert!
As we walked from the bus station to the center of town, we noticed that the outskirts didn't have any streetlights. Actually, to be more accurate, there were streetlights present, but none of them were turned on. Only the centermost streets with the restaurants and bars were lit; outside that four block radius, the town was completely dark. The sky felt so heavy over our heads– a black quilt draped over the quiet desert. We listened to the sand crunch under our feet, our breath quickened from the high altitude, and it felt very strange and special.
Even though the Atacama is allegedly the driest desert in the world, there had been an unusual amount of rain in February, so some of the excursions we wanted to go on (geysers!) weren't possible. However, the next day, Wednesday, we took an afternoon trip to Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon), a rock formation not far from town.
Valle de la Luna lives up to its name: it really is like stepping onto the cragged face of the moon.
It was pretty much like walking on the surface of Tatooine. There were jagged white salt formations and huge dunes made of gold and black sand:
We spent a couple of hours exploring the formations and walked up to the top of a mirador to enjoy the view.
The day had a beautiful end; we drove to the top of a mountain to watch the sun set on the desert.
The next day Charlie and I got up really early for an all-day excursion to see some salt flats. Again the terrain was cruel and strange, seemingly inhospitable to life…
Until we saw some gorgeous flamingoes!
Next we hopped into the tour van and found ourselves in a field of 400 llamas, where baby-talk ensued for the next 20 minutes.
After that we headed to some laguas cejas, or high-altitude lakes, in the hopes of swimming in the salty water. However, at 4,200 meters up (13,779 feet), it was way too cold to go swimming, even in the in the middle of a Chilean summer… in the desert.
After a fantastic day exploring the desert, the tour dropped us back in town around 3pm. We had a half day in front of us: what to do? We decided to rent bikes and ride toward the Pukara del Quitor, an ancient walled city used by the indigenous Atacameñas for 20 years to fight off invading Spaniards. The pukara was less than two miles outside of the city and the woman at the bike shop assured us that the path there was easy– what could go wrong?
We successfully rented our bikes and headed out onto the dirt path– only to find ourselves blocked by a surging river formed by the recent rainfalls in the desert. There didn't seem to be any way to cross it without getting soaked, so we decided to head east and try to cross a road north of the river that we saw on the map.
We rode over bumpy and dusty terrain, groaning up the hills and wondering where the path would lead us when I finally saw a road going left and took it. Sure enough it led us right to the walled city, perfect! Except that, yet again, the river was between us and the Pukara. Damnit.
Charlie and I locked up our bikes and tried to find any way that would allow us to cross the river. We found an old wire crossing with a bucket seat that was out of order, but there didn't seem to be any other way to get across. The Pukara was right there– and there were other bikers walking into it– where had we gone wrong?
We were about to give up when a man in a truck drove up and got out to make some adjustments to his truck; he was clearly planning to drive across the river. I looked at Charlie, put on my most pitiful face, and asked the man if we could throw our bikes in the back of the truck and cross the river with him. He smiled and said, "Of course!" and even helped us put our bikes in the back. Then he opened the doors of the cab to let us sit inside– incredibly nice.
Fifteen seconds later we were across the damned river! We thanked the man profusely, unable to believe our luck. It was about 6pm, and we knew didn't have much time before the Pukara was bound to close.
We ran inside and bought our tickets. The ranger informed us that we had 45 minutes to climb to the top– doable, but we had to hurry. Charlie and I jogged up the rock steps, taking time to admire the brick defense structures as we passed them.
Finally we reached the top of the Pukara and were rewarded a view of all of San Pedro de Atacama:
We slowly climbed down the Pukara, exhausted by the day's efforts. We felt so lucky to have gotten to see it; it was the final adventure during two very full days in the Atacama desert.
We reached the bottom of the Pukara, unlocked our bikes, and then realized… How the heck were we going to get out of here? The river surged in front of us, blocking the trail that we had been unable to pass the first time. Where had all the other bikers come from? we wondered.
Then we came across three young travelers who were in the same situation as us– they had ridden up and down the river on their bikes, unable to get anywhere. We decided to stay together and take a dirt path into a field and see where it took us. Charlie and I followed the guys over thick mud and rocks, barbed wire fences… We got so far off any recognizable path that we encountered tiny houses in the middle of nowhere– houses with loud, aggressive dogs that scared the living hell out of us– but fortunately our companions were Spanish speakers and able to ask and understand directions better than either of us.
After half an hour of riding through the back woods of the Atacama we finally hit a major road, and I knew how to get back to town. We thanked the guys and sped off down the highway, letting momentum propel us off a large hill. Charlie and I were absolutely beat when we finally arrived in San Pedro, but we just grinned at each other– another unexpected adventure in the desert.
The next morning Charlie and I took a bus back to Jujuy and then later to Buenos Aires. I'm so grateful that he was able to join me for the last part of my trip– it was wonderful to share such a memorable adventure together, especially since he went back to the U.S. just a couple of weeks later.
Thanks for everything, my friend, I love you and miss you a lot!! xo

Good Reading : September 2006
16 goodreading ı SEPTEMBER 2006 One day Iris Lockhart receives a phone call in her frock shop in downtown Edinburgh. The male on the other end of the phone infor ms her that the psychiatric hospi- tal in which her great-aunt, Euphemia Lennox, is presently incarcerated is about to close down, and what does Iris propose to do about Euphemia? Iris is astounded.This is the first she has ever heard of Euphemia Lennox – and the one person who could throw light on the puzzle, her grandmother Kitty, has recently fallen victim to Alzheimer's disease and is in a nursing home, unable to communicate coherently. So Iris goes to the hospital, Cauldstone, and there the administrators confirm that Euphemia Lennox is indeed her great-aunt. Iris learns that even though Esme had been called just that all her young life, in Cauldstone she has only ever been known as Euphemia because that is her official name, and no one takes any notice of any protestations by inmates. Iris also learns that Esme is a fiercely independent and keenly intelligent woman who has been hor- ribly wronged. At one point 'Euphemia' is awaiting the arrival of her admissions box, and the orderly explains: 'All the stuff she had with her when she came in. However long ago that was. How long has it been, Euphemia?' and when the old lady replies, in a clear, staccato voice: 'Sixty- one years, five months, four days', the orderly 'chuckles like someone whose pet has just perfor med a favourite trick'. The shocking story of how Esme came to be incarcerated for ms the backbone of The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox. And the really tragic aspect of Esme's fate is that it is based on true stories. Cauldstone is actually Craighouse, a Gothic pile which was once a psychiatric hospital and is now part of Napier University in Edinburgh. 'I grew up just outside Edinburgh, in a place called North Berwick,' Maggie told me over the phone, 'and "Craighouse" was kind of slang. It was a bit like the bogeyman – your mother would threaten you with going to Craighouse, but only in a very lighthearted way. It closed in 1990 when the Community Care Act came in, when Thatcher decided to close down a lot of these psychiatric institutions. At that time there were a lot of stories in the media about young women who'd been sent to these places in the 1920s and '30s for reasons of immorality, and then they'd just kind of languished there. A friend of mine told me about her grandmother's cousin, who was sent to an asylum because she'd eloped to Ireland with a legal clerk.' I had read that Maggie had tried to get into Craighouse while researching the book but had been thrown out by a security guard. 'Yeah, it's true!' she laughed. 'It was a really hot day, and I was car rying my son on my shoulders. It's now part of a university and it was the summer holidays so the whole thing was cordoned off, but a friend of mine who's there at the university had drawn me a very detailed map of the part of the building which houses the library, and the way in. The library used to be the morgue; for the students it holds a kind of fasci- nation, this for mer asylum. So I wandered in with this baby on my shoulders, and after about ten minutes a security guard said "Who are you?" I feigned ignorance but he chucked me out.' cover story now you see her... MAGGIE O'FARRELL's electrifying new novel, The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox, is the story of an injustice so grotesque that it almost defies belief. Yet it's based on a number of true case histories. ALISON PRESSLEY spoke to the author about her haunting book.

Luke Babbitt went through a stretch in the third quarter of Tuesday night's win over the Sacramento Kings when he missed five three-point shots in a row — and nobody was more delighted the 6-9, left-handed stretch forward kept firing away than Heat coach Erik Spoelstra.
"I loved it," Spoelstra said Thursday as the Heat wrapped up its final practice before hitting the road for a pair of games beginning Friday in Toronto.
"I'm still waiting for him to get his 10 threes off in a game. That was a major disappointment the other night. Actually, I was very encouraged when he missed three straight and he took his fourth. That's the test of a real shooter."
Few on the Heat's roster have the kind of "ultra green light" to fire from beyond the arc that Babbitt has. Spoelstra has been adamant since the preseason began that he wants the career 40-percent three-point shooter not to hesitate when he's open.
After all, if the Heat's going to stretch the floor to free up center Hassan Whiteside and provide lanes for Goran Dragic and Justise Winslow to navigate through, then Babbitt, Wayne Ellington and the rest of Miami's shooters have to do their part to remain credible threats.
Babbitt, who finished 3 for 9 from beyond the arc on Tuesday night after making his final three-point shot, has done his part. He's made nine of his team-leading 24 three-point attempts (37.5 percent), helping the Heat —one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the league last season — establish a new identity.
Miami is averaging 24.8 three-point attempts per game (two more than the previous franchise high) and shooting 38.4 percent from beyond the arc. The Heat has done better than that only one other time — in the 2012-13 season when it shot 39.6 percent and went 66-16 in the best season in franchise history.
Yes, it's early, but the Heat's 9.5 three-point makes per contest — tied for ninth in the league as of Thursday night — was actually more than the Golden State Warriors' 8.5. It's a rather drastic image change for a team that averaged 18 threes (third-fewest in the league) and shot 33.6 percent (27th) from beyond the arc last season.
"Yeah, I'm sure they'll figure it out," guard Tyler Johnson joked of the Warriors trailing the Heat in three-pointers made after one week of the regular season. "[But] I think as we get more in tune with one another that number [Miami's three-point shooting percentage] can even go up."
Although Ellington, a career 37.6 percent three-point shooter, remains out with a bruised right quad, second-year guard Josh Richardson, who shot 53.3 percent from three-point range after the All-Star break last season, could soon find himself back in the Heat's rotation.
Richardson (sprained MCL) and center Josh McRoberts (foot) participated in full-contact 5-on-5 and 4-on-4 sessions for the first time in two months Thursday.
"It's a good sign being able to go through contact," Richardson said. "I felt fine. I was able to be aggressive and do what I normally do."
Said Dragic: "It's great to see J-Rich out there. I feel like he's going to help us a lot. His ability to defend, to make plays, to make shots, he's a well-rounded player. That just gives us more guys to rotate. The back-to-backs are coming, so we're going to need a lot of players."
Dragic, who shot a career-low 31.2 percent from three-point range last season, is one of four Heat players shooting better than 40 percent from three thus far.
He's 11 of 21 (52.4 percent) from beyond the arc and credits the improvement to working with Heat shooting coach Rob Fodor, who showed him on video how he was bringing the ball up by the left side of his hip last season, instead of straight up.
"My confidence is high. I feel great," said Dragic, who is looking and playing a lot more like the Third-Team All-NBA guard he was in 2014, when he shot 40.8 percent from three. "Physically, mentally I'm at the right place. I'm happy. [Making threes] makes my game so much easier."
History shows when Miami makes threes, good things happen. When the Heat has shot better than 36 percent from three-point range — and it's happened eight times — the franchise has made the playoffs all but once in those seasons.

Akarua Welcomes New Sales Manager to Team (Fri, 19 January 2018)
New Domestic and International Sales Manager
We are so glad to introduce to you Akarua's amazing new Domestic and International Sales Manager, Zoë Ladyman, who started with us on the 15th January. Zoë has such an extensive and exciting background in wine - just read her bio below. To be honest we don't know how we will keep up – but we will try!
Zoë has recently relocated with her family from Melbourne. For three years there, she has been doubling sales of the clever Vinous portfolio to the best restaurants and wine stores of Victoria and Tasmania, and telling the stories of wines from, amongst others, France, Austria, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and most remotely – Georgia.
Previously, Zoë built and co-directed Libertine Restaurantwith husband Nick Creswick for eight years which was awarded one 'Chef's Hat' and 'Best Short Wine List' (first of award of this kind) in 2007 and 3rd place for 'Wine List of the Year' in 2010 The Age Good Food Guide. She opened and co-directed Le Traiteur between 2010 and 2012 whose heavily buttered croissants featured favourably in The Age 2011 Cheap Eats Guide. She was awarded Wine Selector Magazine 2006 'Sommelier of the Year' and was Electrolux 'Young Restaurateur' Finalist in 2009. Zoë was the pioneer sommelier at Ezard and carved out the role in 2004; and before that at Terence Conran's Bibendum in London for three years, recommending wine to Kylie Minogue, Geoffrey Rush, Brian Ferry, Salman Rushdie and Dame Judy Dench amongst names worth dropping. In 2002, she worked as 'stage' Assistant Winemaker in Bordeaux at 'La Fleur de Boüard' (owned by Hubert de Boüard of Chateau Angelus) in Lalande de Pomerol.
Seeking her next challenge, Zoë was thrilled to accept the role of Domestic and International Sales Manager at Akarua and is looking forward to going deeply down the rabbit hole into the minute details of each vineyard, parcel and row (good luck with that Zoe – it might take you a while to cover 123 ha's)! She is looking forward to spreading the good word of Akarua as far and as wide as possible.
She and Nick have two children, aged 10 and 8 who are very excited to be out of the big smoke and amongst the mountains of Central Otago. When not cosily inside a wine glass, you'll find her running the trails of the spectacular alpine countryside around her new home town of Wanaka.
Akarua Kolo Pinot Noir 2015 ranked 5 stars and 97 points by MW Bob Campbell (Wed, 13 December 2017)
Master of Wine recently reviewed our first release of our Kolo Pinot Noir and this was awarded a fantastic 97 points and a top 5 ranking of all rated Pinot Noir from 2015. Bob explains "Kolo is a two-hectare vineyard site on Felton Road planted in Dijon clones of pinot noir. This is a tight, yet powerful pinot noir with wonderful energy and vibrance. An appealing aroma leads to cherry, plum, violet, spice and anise flavours. The wine has a fantastically silken and ethereal texture"
Bannockburn Maori legend tells the story of Kolo, a young boy who bravely defended his Mother and sister from a menacing Bouakai eagle. Our Kolo block, situated on the presitigous Felton Road, has been chosen for its unique location, soils and history of producing outstanding quality fruit. Akarua Kolo Pinot Noir 2015 has been produced from only the best four barrels taken from this single block property, chosen for being truly representative of our site, the vintage and Bannockburn Pinot Noir.

Can Strident Political Discourse Be Modified With Honesty?
Congressman Bob Inglis, a conservative Republican from South Carolina who lost his seat during the primaries, has been lamenting his party's turn toward "demagoguery" since last summer, but he is getting more traction since the Republican sweep of the U.S. House in last month's midterm elections. Lately he has been making the rounds on television and radio news shows and talking bluntly about why he lost. Despite a 93 rating from the American Conservative Union, he says he was punished for not being sufficiently extreme in his conservatism and for not forcefully bashing President Obama. He ran into trouble with his state's Tea Party leadership when he refused to call the president a socialist and urged his constituents to stop watching Glenn Beck.
I heard him on NPR the day after the election and thought he sounded reasonable enough, but when I saw him on CNN's Parker Spitzer last Friday, I was even more impressed by his honesty and levelheadedness while discussing his strong disagreement with Obama's policies and his refusal to demonize the president, as fellow Republicans trying to gain favor with Tea Party voters have done.
Said Parker: "I've been talking about this for months. Writing about it. You know, the GOP, the Republican Party, now has this sort of purity ideal pushed by the Tea Party. If you're not 100 percent conservative, then you're not good enough to be in office."
Here's some of what Inglis had to say :
INGLIS: Yes, you know, really, if you boil it right down, what it's a lot about is just the sense that I didn't join in the real bitterness toward the president. You know, I don't call him a socialist because he's not. I don't doubt where -- that he was born in Hawaii because he was.
I don't call him a Muslim because he says he's a Christian. And I didn't say anything about death panels because there weren't any death panels in that health care bill. So I believe you're going to lead a credible conservative movement, you've got to start with credible information.
And if you try to sell people on this scapegoat and say it's the president's fault that we've got a structural deficit, well, how could that be? He's been in office two years. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security have been around for decades. So how could it possibly be his fault?
The reality is, the president is a handsome, articulate, brilliant fella. I just disagree with him on a lot of policy issues. But I don't need to join in this hatred of the man. What I need to do is just say, we have better ideas.
I'm a conservative with better ideas. And I can serve the country by presenting those ideas and being credible, not attacking him. But, you know, it's -- remember, Bill Clinton said one year at a prayer breakfast, the most violated commandment in Washington, D.C. is the ninth. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
And I think there's an awful lot of that going on right now.
PARKER: Can you give us an instance where you actually felt pressure to do that, to turn on the president and say things that -- you know, to bear false witness, in other words?
INGLIS: Yes, for example, I had a breakfast gathering about 25 people there. The guy stands up and he says, the president is so unpatriotic, he doesn't even put his hand over his heart when the national anthem is played or when the pledge is recited.
And I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, I know what I need to do if I want to win this primary, I'm supposed to say, well, what do you expect out of a socialist? Or, you know, somebody not born in America.
But I just couldn't, wouldn't. And so I just said, you know, that's just not true. I've been with the president. I've seen him put his hand over his heart. It's just not true. The man is a patriotic American who loves the country, loves his wife, loves his kids. Afterwards, they -- and I went on to say, but I just disagree with him. But after this a Republican operative came up to me and said, don't give him that.
SPITZER: You know --
INGLIS: That he's a patriotic American.
PARKER: Don't give the president that?
INGLIS: Yes, and of course I'm thinking, how are we going to get to these hard things? Like I was just complimenting Paul Ryan on having a great plan for fixing Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security.
How are we going to get to that if we're embroiled in this mosh pit where we maul each other about whether he's a socialist and a secret Muslim and a whatever? When what we should be saying is, listen, you disagree with him. We conservatives have better ideas that will really work. But we don't need to attack him as a person and we don't need to drag the country down in all that negative kind of -- disastrous kind of mauling of one another.
What's interesting about Inglis' comments is how lacking in bitterness they are, and how true they are. What passes for political discourse these days is beyond mauling, it is rhetoric steeped in aggressive, patently dishonest, hateful language that aims to completely take down political opponents – by any means necessary. Politicians and political operatives of all stripes do it, but the rise of the Tea Party has raised this type of political bashing into an art form. What is most distressing is not that so many politicians are willing to stoop to it in order to win elections but that so few are willing to stand against it for fear of losing.
Now that Rep. Inglis won't be in Congress come January, maybe he'll have more time on his hands to start a different kind of national dialogue, one far different from the nasty Town Hall meetings and Tea Party rallies we witnessed during the debate over health care, or even the nightly partisan exchanges between political pundits on cable news programs. Maybe he can get us all talking and acting like dignified adults again.

The Jellyfish that lives forever
This one smacks of a huge wind up, but if it isn't it is an amzing story. Apparently scientists have discovered a jellyfish that, in the words of one Noel Gallagher, can live forever.
The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish can apparently cycle from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again. Thsi means that there may be no natural limit to its life span.
According to Yahoo the key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.
So, can the process of the turritopsis nutricula be copied by humans? What about natural predators. It is fine to be able to live forever, but not if your chances of ending up on another animal's dinner plate are very high.
Finally will Hollywood star be injecting turritopsis nutricula serum soon? We need to be told.

The Indian Gold Obsession
2 comments:
- Ratnabha Saha said...
Hi Shrinivas,
Well written. Like to comment on your last point to strengthen your argument of course.
For the last couple of years i have seen that even for marriages people chose not to wear gold as it is risky but wear imitations of them.
So practically there is no place where the consumption happens, it is bought and saved.
Even our films do not spare us lesser mortals :The perennial Losers: The Indian Husband.
Talk of Selling gold (which by the way is considered as ASSETS of WIFE: Everything in life is shared but not the YELLOW METAL)and you are reminded of the crime of being ill equipped and incompetent in your role of being a HUSBAND to safeguard the ASSETS Of WIFE:-the Yellow Metal.
Below is an excerpt from one of the typical Hindi Films:-
Hus:- I am jobless. I am incompetent. I can't take care of you.
Wife:- No Dear, It is just bad time. It will pass. You are my Hero. You will find some way out. I am with you. Why worry.
Hus:- Really!! Wow!! I agree this bad time will pass and i have found a way out. Why not sell your gold jewelries and let us be entrepreneurs.
Wife:- Bloody incompetent Fool!!!Did i marry to see this day?Why did you marry me if you can't take care of me.You dimwit, black heart demon.In reality you are a failure you can;t do anything in your life. You are BIG ZERO.
So Moral of the Story:-
Wanna Divorce, Ask your wife to sell her gold. :) :) :)
Liked this post of yours very much. Come out of writer's block soon and give us some more enjoyable reads.

I love it and hate it. I love typing on it, I love the key travel, and it makes my iPad a writing powerhouse.
For my last iPad I'd gotten a Zagg keyboard, and while it was pretty good I hated the metal rim around the keyboard and wanted something better. I found the Logitech Ultrathin, tried it out at an Apple store, and loved how it felt. Despite it's quirks, I'm still using it now. To write this, actually.
The bad
I hate that it keeps disconnecting whenever something putting out more RF than a pencil is nearby, and that I cannot select text by holding down shift and using the arrow keys.
Logitech replaced my unit for free (they didn't even ask for the old unit back) because of the disconnection issue, and the new unit is better than the old, but it is not without problems. I'm finding that if I'm using my phone as a modem and have it sitting next to the ipad, I get more disconnects.
The first unit had this crazy problem where it would act like I'd held the return key down. I'd get 20-40 blank lines. I'd have to delete them all and continue writing. The second unit has done this only once.
There is also a sharp edge on the little flap that folds out to hold the keyboard on in its closed mode. I read this in the reviews and dismissed it, but it is actually annoying. Not a dealbreaker, but a reminder of bad design every time I pick the unit up. I'm temped to take some sandpaper to it, but I don't carry it that often – usually it's bag to table, table back to bag.
The good
So it probably sounds like I hate this thing, but I don't. The keys are awesome, and have just a bit of travel. I find this keyboard very fast, and I like the arrangement. The top row of keys has special functions that actually work. The keys are very slightly rubbery, and it is quiet.
The keyboard is very light. I don't have to worry about charging it because it runs on a couple CR2032 cells, which have become so common I actually have spares in the house. My old keyboard for my old iPad did require charging and it was a pain. It really sucked to get somewhere and find I had a dead keyboard and no charger. They say the batteries will last a few years, but even once a year is not that much, and spares are easy to carry.
This keyboard has made the difference between my new iPad Air 2 being a toy and it being a really useful tool. The new Mac Book may be thin and light but I doubt even it is as light as the iPad/keyboard combo, and the limited OS on the iPad limits distractions – not entirely, but I can't decide to rearrange my file system while evading my work. I even use it at home, sitting next to my computer because it's more comfortable than using my Macbook Pro.
No, it's not perfect. A long way from it. But it's a pretty good solution. It's not comfy to carry, but it is comfy to use (you can even type on it while it's still in the package) and as long as I don't set my phone down next to it, or have it near other electronic gizmos (like my office phone) it works pretty well.
Is it right for you? I'm not going to tell you to run out and buy one. Get to someplace that has it, try the keyboard out, and then ask yourself if you're the kind of person who's going to be driven mad by disconnects. The first one was bad, but I still used it. The second one still disconnects but not as bad as the first. I've got two Apple bluetooth keyboards, and I get tempted to take one of those, but they don't travel well. So I stay with the Logitech. Sometimes I don't really notice the disconnects. The rest of the time the on-screen keyboard popping up unexpectedly is like getting a whiff of a really bad fart (someone else's) – annoying & disruptive, but you deal with it and move on. When it disconnects, pressing a key reconnects, so it's not like I have to leave the app and re-pair.
Logitech, if you're listening, please fix the disconnects. Add backlights to the keys and I'd have paid $50 more.

Floor plans are usually used by different experts from the real estate industry like architects who draw them, engineers, contractors, the investors and various stakeholders for different reasons. However, the overall reason is to see the success of the project. The shangri la toronto floor plans have assisted the companies contractors in many ways.
Uses of floor plans
Point of reference during construction
Contractors do not guess any step when constructing but are categorically guided by the plans made by architects. The floor plans give then the actual measurements when setting the foundation regarding length and width. They are also able to know the number of rooms each floor will have. It is also the floor plans that give the contractors the number of door and window required for each floor. Therefore, floor plans are important drawings that any contractors must have in their pockets always.
Used during stakeholders meeting
Projects require regular meeting with interested parties who need all details for a project. The floor plans are one of the basic information any investor and other stakeholders want to understand. During such meetings, floor plans are projected on the LCD screen or offered in printed format to clarify the number of rooms, designs and set ups that each particular floor will have. This offers clarification to any questions such people may have concerning the projects. Thus, based on this floor plans, amendments, designs and any corrections can be made.
Can be used to seek authorities approval
Various countries have various laws that govern construction in the real estate industry. Therefore, for such approval to be made the ]floor plans must be availed for assessment. They are also the base of taxes paid to the project during the construction and after. Those seeking the authorities approval must provide the actual floor plans to be used throughout the project to avoid problems later or revocation of approval license.
Offers a base for Interior Designers
After the completion of the project, the interior designers must designer the furniture and other furnishing arrangements for each room. They use the floor plans as the base before they start planning the arrangement. However, this is subject to changes made during the construction.
Most real estate companies put emphasis on having superior floor plans as most investors are keen to see if the floor plan utilizes their land well for maximum productivity. Even individual home builders are keen on floor plans that will give then excellent designs.

Project Space Exhibition
Maybe we are the waves
Tra l'Etere e la Terra
Case Sparse
18:00 - 22:00 @ GlogauAIR
Four visual authors, four environmental works, fifteen days of residency, the river.
Maybe we are the waves is a group exhibition that is both evidence and amplification of the 3rd edition of Case Sparse | Tra l'Etere e la Terra, an artistic residency born in 2012 in the village of Malonno in Valle Camonica, Italy.
Monica Carrera // Francesca Damiano // Youki Hirakawa // Stefano Serretta
with a video documentation by Fatima Bianchi
Curated bySaul Marcadent
Monica Carrera, Francesca Damiano, Youki Hirakawa and Stefano Serretta, during the period of perma- nence in Malonno in July 2015, have produced four permanent site-specific artworks - Fa ruggine, Fermofiu- me, A tree and two stumps - Chestnut, Underground - along the Oglio river. Each installation is the result of a deep observation of nature and culture of the place. In occasion of the exhibition at GlogauAIR, by invitation of the curator Saul Marcadent, the artists conceived four new artworks on paper closely related to the works in Malonno.
The core of the exhibition is a precious publication printed in a single copy that includes a collection of ima- ges and four long conversations between the artists and the curator developed during the fifteen days of resi- dency. Each conversation is an intimate tool to discover researches, practices, desires and visions of the four artists. After the show in Berlin the publication will be presented and shown for short periods in bookshops and art spaces around Europe.
Close to the four artworks and publication the exhibition includes the video portraits of Monica Carrera, Francesca Damiano, Youki Hirakawa and Stefano Serretta by Fatima Bianchi, filmmaker and visual artist, and a video documentation of the workshop made by the collective of musicians and sound artists Tilde (Attila Faravelli, Enrico Malatesta, Nicola Ratti) during the 3rd edition of Case Sparse | Tra l'Etere e la Terra.
Intimate and passionate, Monica Carrera's work operates on a private and public double track, through installations, videos and performing arts. Fa ruggine considers the subject of migration, starting from the late1800s, from Valle Camonica to faraway lands, geographically and mentally. The artist imagines a dream by a tree enclosed in a boat and waiting to leave, and anchored to the ground. The collage produced for the exhibition is a kind of extention of the site-specific work. Starting from some images of emigrants from Malonno, she cuts and isolated the characters from the place where the picture was taken and she replaced them, painting exotic backdrops.
The artistic research of Francesca Damiano, often connected to natural themes, especially human nature, translates into installations made with simple material and marked by a narrative dimension. Fermofiume is a long table in larch wood, faithfully reproducing the shape of the river Oglio, blocking its flow. Placed in the shade of trees, it's an invitation to take a break. The installation produced for Maybe we are the waves consists of three parts - a graphite frottage, a stop-motion video and a photograph - and reveals an ongoing process of the work installed in Malonno. At the same time it is a device that involves the observer and the audience.
Youki Hirakawa's work takes place in the intersections of different media such as installation, film and photography. Some of his research and artistic production investigate the boundary between visible and invisible and the intimate connection between humans and nature. His works give life to universes without precise time coordinates, where it is nearly impossible to place any event. In A tree and two stumps - Chestnut two parts of the same chestnut tree are buried a few centimetres apart. One is the continuation of the other as can be understood by observing the bases, their configuration and the rings in the wood. A stump, ideally, continues to live underground, taking root, while the other grows and develops through the branches. The small collage of lithographs produced for the exhibition is open to many interpretations and readings as all the works of the artist.
Stefano Serretta's work is often a reinterpretation of portions of history and places through various formats - installation, video, writing, action. Underground is a work that investigates the relationship between surface and underground through a portal directed, metaphorically speaking, underground. During his first visit in Malonno the artist met a geologist, an expert of the area, and was informed about the hydroelectric network that manages the river flow, modifying its rate and utilising the water for energy production. At the same time he examined the question of aquifer pollution, caused by years of illegal disposal of dangerous waste. The three photos shown in Maybe we are the waves are part of the research and exploration conducted by the artist during the residency.

Why is choosing a tax preparer that is right for you so important?
First, you do not want to leave money on the table that is owed to you. In 2008, the average tax refund was $2,429, according to the IRS. That is a significant amount of money and a competent tax preparer can help that becomes yours. Next, you do not want your return to contain mistakes. You are responsible for any errors on your return, not the preparer. Even professionals make mistakes so that is why it is so important to choose a good tax professional. The right preparer can help you avoid future headaches, possible fines and get the money that is owed to you in your hands.
How do you go about choosing a tax preparer?
Make sure that the person you select is actually the person that will be personally preparing your return and not delegating it to someone you have never met. It is also important that you feel comfortable with your tax professional and that they answer your questions in a way that you understand without making you feel bad. Your tax preparer should be responsive and accessible. Also, some places open seasonal shops and when your filing is returned with an error, they are nowhere to be found after April 15th. Check credentials, go to a reputable place and confirm the preparer will be signing your return.
How much should you pay?
Filing yourself is always a viable, free option. If you do not have any children, investments or a mortgage, it might be easiest to file online through www.irs.gov . It is easy, free and if you sign up for direct deposit, you usually receive your money in about two to three weeks. Once you start itemizing beyond the standard deductions, you should have a professional prepare your taxes. The average cost of a prepared return at specialty tax preparation places like H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt is about $200. The rates are based on the complexity of your tax return and the amount of deductions and investments you have. They also have special offers for returning clients and new clients. For $29, H&R Block has a service called "Second Look". Before you officially file, they will double check your return that was prepared by someone other than them. They typically find approximately 78% of already-prepared returns do in fact contain mistakes. Of course, accountants and tax attorneys who specialize in complex tax returns for those with many deductions and investments will charge a higher fee.

Cal Ripken not worth it
Wow! $30.5 million plus -- how many soup kitchens and how much housing that could provide for the needy and the homeless. It is a disgrace one person be granted this enormous salary when there are so many people losing jobs who probably have been in their positions 10 years or more and had great performance records.
Cal Ripken did say that he would have remained an Oriole no matter what happened. That was the laugh of the day. He was going for the big money, and having his father within the organization for many years certainly was a plus for him. Any other player with a slump as Ripken has experienced would have been traded long ago.


text: Hey all, So, i was reading about the Backup Loader, and how you have to uninstall the DVDx and Install it for IOS249. But, i think this breaks libdi functionality for all other apps. I wanted to know, is there a way to have them "co-exist"? I mean, i want to make a disc with a SNES, NES, Genesis/Megadrive full romset. Will i have to uninstall and re-install every time i want to use the other apps, or what?

You can add Mike Schmidt to the list of Hall of Famers not impressed with Jose Bautista's home run celebration.
Schmidt, 66, writing a commentary for the Associated Press outlining the contrasts of what's acceptable celebratory behavior and what's not, said Bautista "crossed the line" with his emphatic bat flip after hitting a towering home run during Game 5 of the Division Series last season in Toronto against the Rangers that ultimately assured the Blue Jays their first ALCS berth since 1993.
Schmidt, the former Phillies great, wrote:
"Why do so many players today feel the need to embellish their success with some sort of hand signal to the dugout? What got more attention in last year's postseason than a bat toss by Jose Bautista? Pointing to the sky is child's play compared to that moment in the postseason on national TV. A flagrant disrespect of the opponent like that would have gotten somebody hurt back in the day."
He went on:
"That's the problem with these onfield displays, it shows a lack of respect for your opponent and the history of the game. But today there is a faction of players that say damn respect — that guy on the mound gestures to the dugout when he strikes me out, so why can't I flip my bat on a home run? That's a good point, I guess it does go both ways. But who wouldn't agree Bautista crossed the line?"
The wave of criticism Bautista has dealt with for the celebration prompted the All-Star slugger to present his side in an essay for the Players' Tribune in November titled "Are You Flipping Kidding Me?"
Bautista cited his behavior to being in the heat of the moment. The Jays were in the playoffs for the first time since 1993, and he was at the plate with two runners on and two outs with the game on the line.
Schmidt recognized that he is the subject of one of the game's most recognizable celebrations: His high-stepping down the first-base line after hitting his 500th home run in 1987.
"As for me, the most emotion I ever displayed on the field was a little running in place out of the box on my 500th home run. My home run trots were over quickly and without fanfare."
He continued:
"Baseball demands a certain level of dignity toward the opponent. It's part of its charm. Sure, you have to be tough and stand up for yourself, but only when the line is crossed."
Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench also said players wouldn't have gotten away with that type of behavior years ago. "You can flip your bat," the former Reds great said. "We had guys do that … and the next time up there was chin music. And if you play that way, that's fine."
The Bautista talk was ignited by Hall of Fame reliever and former Yankees great Goose Gossage, who lit into Bautista, Yoenis Cespedes and baseball "nerds" earlier this month for their onfield antics.
SANDOVAL HURT: Third baseman Pablo Sandoval has lower-back stiffness and was not in the Red Sox's starting lineup Thursday against the Mets. Sandoval was injured diving for a ball off the bat of Miami's Giancarlo Stanton on Tuesday. Manager John Farrell said he does not think Sandoval will require a stint on the disabled list.

Born in Los Angeles, California, McPhee moved with her family to Sherman Oaks at age 12. On the show, McPhee stated that she was misdiagnosed with a learning disability during her middle school years but was finally correctly diagnosed with a vision problem that caused her to have trouble reading in class. McPhee's run on American Idol led to the use of the term "McPheever". "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and "My Destiny" peaked at number 60. During the 2007 Christmas holiday season, McPhee released a Christmas single "O Come All Ye Faithful".

Is is a good practice to put a telephone number in the page title or does google punish for this?
I think Google will not be punished.I have seen other website do it like this
No there is no problem. but you will miss some short of SEO by not keeping your main keyword there.
thanks, I was just thinking it would be good to have the number dispplayed in the google search results as my client's business is emergency plumbing
Dont put a phone number in your title...put it in your meta tag...you will have more space here to write a pitch then drop the number
