100% Clare Valley Fiano – Only 3,000 bottles produced
The name derives from the notion of the ancient Romans that fiano, an indigenous variety from Campania in Italy's south, resembled the aroma of honey. It was planted at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard (ACO certified organic) ten years ago, during which time the vines struggled to produce a crop in these meager rocky soils.
There's a vibrant quality to the fourth vintage of this unique wine from Grosset thanks to its perfumed aromatics – almond blossom and honeycomb – and lively savoury palate that is viscous, textured and deep. The finish is smooth, long and satisfyingly dry. Its uniqueness is derived from the use of two very different fiano clones. One (VCR3) is very low yielding, small berried with concentrated flavours, the other (Savio) offers fresher and more subtle flavours. Together they work wonderfully. This is the first time two clones have been used to produce Apiana.
Ageing potential: First vintage 2014 so as yet unknown.
Source: Grosset Rockwood Vineyard (ACO certified organic)
Site: North-eastern extreme of Watervale sub-region at high altitude (460m)
Soil: Hard red rock (slate-like) with a poor orange/red loam for topsoil
Clones: The only known planting in SA of a rare Fiano clone (VCR3) and now also Savio clone
Yield: Low to very low vigour and yield (less than 1 bottle per vine)
Canopy: Vertical shoot (where sufficient growth)
Bunch size: Very small bunches.
Fruit colour: Medium to dark yellow.
Harvest date: March 16th – March 19th 2017
Fermentation: Separate for each clone
Fruit flavours: Grape-pulpy richness and crisp freshness
Profile: Weighty and complex; textural and dry
Fining: Nil- suitable for vegans and vegetarians

Release Date: 8th September 2017
Availability: Restricted to members and a few restaurants due to small production

Birthdays are like assholes - Everybody has one.
Five years ago, I realized I really wanted to be a mother when a close friend, C, had her first baby. She told me that she was pregnant outside of the office building that we shared. We stood, huddled together, pondering a fuzzy sonogram printout and imagining how life would change. She said that no one else knew other than her family. She is one of those friends who you believe when they say things like this.
Her son, J, is still the most beautiful newborn I have ever seen. He was the color of a valentine with lips that pursed like petals. A boy so beautiful, he looked like a girl. And still today, five years later, he has the same soft, ethereal quality that he had when he was born.
We took Chloe to his birthday party past weekend at a large indoor playspace that Manhattan parents like me use to quell anxieties about not living in the sprawling suburbs. I have not spent much time around mothers who were not my friends first. I have somehow missed the NYC subculture of Mommy-Mania, where women travel in packs of strollers and designer day care. Mobs of Manhattan moms make me uncomfortable. There is an undercurrent of competition that turns me off and leaves me wondering if I could be doing better.
But when your child is school age and a party means inviting the class, moms follow. So I was privy to more kids than I have been around in a long time. And I am reminded of Samantha on Sex and the City, who calls a baby an asshole. And I realize that she is right. Kids can be assholes. And more likely than not, so is one of their parents. I watched a child berate his mother for offering him juice. Another grabbed toys from my daughter with a force that almost knocked her over. Another pried the fingers of her playmate off a rock climbing wall, one by one, sending her tumbling. All in the name of a party. Are we having fun yet?
And that's just the kids. While some of the moms (like some of the kids) were lovely, there were others who stuffed as many party favors as possible into their purses, took extra cupcakes to go before the candles had even been blown. Impossibly small bodies were squeezed into impossibly expensive jeans as my friend C, hoarse with the exertion of party planning, smiled in perfect hostess form. I holed up near her friends from college, from her husband's business school -- the ones from before -- and held on for dear life.
And then there was my beloved J, the birthday boy, sitting amidst the chaos like the perfect prince. Much like his mother, he is a flower blooming among concrete. The apple does not fall far from the tree. Too bad sometimes the tree, and the apples, are full of worms.

Lancer cited potentially hazardous practices
Katie Lane
According to a recent state Department of Health routine inspection, Lancer Food Services in the college's College Center was cited 25 red points of the 30 allowed before forced closure. Red points are classified as potentially hazardous and can cause cross contamination.
Lancer was cited for improper hand washing, according to Christina Sherman, inspector for the Pierce County Health Department. The report states: "Observed employee putting gloves on without washing hands first."
According to Sherman, this is a fairly significant health hazard. It can cause the spread of germs from one person's meal to the next.
The food service provider also was cited for improper food temperatures as well as espresso pumps being stored in the handwashing sink.
According to Sherman, Lancer was given until April 27 to correct the infractions or it would face a $160 service fee and another inspection.
On May 3, Lancer installed surveillance cameras in it's Pierce College locations.

Images from my trip to Lincoln Cathedral, where I saw a section of the Magna Carta (post here). I'm a bit of a fan of closer shots, so these are my favourite photographs of the ones I took. I'm always looking to photograph churches and cathedrals (like here), because of all the craftmanship that goes into the buildings. I'd love to photograph people praying, but I've never been brave enough with my poor old dSLR whirring and clunking about.

My Favourite Makeup Products Of 201121:45
Happy New Year Beauts!
Since we've now ended 2011 and welcomed 2012, I thought I'd show you some of last years makeup favourites. They are makeup products which I've reached for the most. A lot of them I often repurchased and some were new additions to my collection last year which I may have previously blogged about. There are more products which I reached for often as well but these are the products which stuck in my mind so obviously made a good impression.
In no particular order, here are my 2011 makeup faves!
I haven't owned this brush for a long time but it quickly became one of my top brushes that I use for contouring and applying blush.
Sigma Buffer Brush F45
I also own the MAC Buffer Brush 182 but I kind of ruined it so I looked for a cheap alternative and came across this one. It is exactly the same as the MAC 182 and works just as well!
I use it to apply my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish powder.
Sigma Flat Top Synthetic Kabuki Brush F80
This is by far my most favourite brush. It blends in my foundation effortlessly and seamlessly. It gives me that flawless look that I love. I would recommend it to anyone!
L'Oreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss
I really can't remember the last time I've used an eyeliner besides this one. It is quite black in my opinion with a slight gloss finish and lasts all day!
L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara/Original
I love this mascara! I usually either buy it in 'Carbon Black' or 'Original' depending on what superdrug has in stock. It lengthens and thickens my lashes like no other mascara has.
MAC Eye Brows
Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder
Words cannot describe how good this product is. It sets my makeup and makes it last the whole day with no touch ups.
Click here for a review.
NARS Gilda Blush
I have quite a few blushes but last year, I found myself reaching for this one so many times. NARS blushes are very pigmented and last a long time. It is a very nice coral colour that also complements dark skin tones!
Sleek Contour Kit - Medium
Those who follow my blog will know that I haven't owned this contour kit for a long time but for the little time that I have had it, I've used the contour powder everyday. It is a great product for its price as it also comes with a highlighter (which I hardly ever use).
MAC Iridescent Loose Powder Golden Bronze
I believe this is a multi-purpose product but I specifically use it as a highlighter which I believe it's great for. I used it so much during summer 2011 because it gives me that nice glow which is not overpowering. It has fine particles so you won't look like a glittery hot mess!
Click here for a review.
Were any of these your favourites for 2011?

Lol it's a pretty colour but I think I prefer Nars GildaDelete
We actually share some favorites(Mac MSF & Loreal liner). Plus that NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss Miami Babe looks like it could be a dupe for my favorite lip gloss Bobbi Brown's aubergine. Also, there's some stuff up there that I might give a try for 2012. Thanks for the post.ReplyDeleteReplies
I loveee MSF :)Delete
You're welcome x

A Typical "On-Call" Weekend in Minnesota Lake Country
I'm a family medicine physician with an ACMC affiliate in Litchfield, Minn., – a town of about 6,500 people. I'm often asked what the lifestyle is like in Litchfield, especially from other physicians living in metro areas. Here's the key – I live on a lake inside the city limits and it takes me about two minutes to [More]
My Roots and My Passion Have Always Been with Rural Medicine
A native of Litchfield, MN, Dr. Ronald Holmgren's first experiences with Willmar Clinic (now known as ACMC) were as a third year medical student participating in the Rural Physicians Associate Program (RPAP). In 1977, Dr. Holmgren returned to Willmar to start his practice and today is currently the President and CEO of Affiliated Community Medical [More]

text: On the eve of World Environment Day today, it indeed is an opportune time to pay obeisance to Mike Pandey who has single handedly been able to bring about the issues of environment into mainstream through his painstaking film making on environmental issues. Mike Pandey became a passionate natural convert while growing up in the backdrop of the Nairobi National Park in Kenya, but he shot into the prominence as a film maker of eminence with his film on whale titled "SHORES OF SILENCE-WHALE SHARKS IN INDIA in 2000. This film got him the Green Panda or the Green Oscars, and such was the impact of this film that Ministry of Environment an Forests of Government of India banned the fishing of his species in coastal Gujarat. But Mike really came into international reckoning with his work on elephants titles "VANISHING GIANTS", which also won the Green Oscars, and brought about a change in the Government's view of the manner in which the issues pertaining to elephants were addressed by the government. For the fans of John Abraham it indeed would be music to the ears to learn that he has been associated with the cause of elephants for quite a long time and it was on the prodding from Mike Pandey. Pandey has gone on record to claim that it was owing to John's involvement with this project that the project became a resounding success, especially in Chattisgarh and Maharashtra where the issue of elephants was getting dogged in controversy of struggle between animal and the man. John Abraham is also going to produce the next film of Mike Pandey "RETURN OF THE TIGER". Mike Pandey's major success in creating environment an issue among the people of the country has been through his programme on Doordarshan titled "EARTH MATTERS", being telecast for the last ten years. It has led to formation of more than 2000 Earth Matter Clubs all over the country and has also won the Golden Giraffe Award-the highest global award for conservation. If the country has to prosper its environment has to be protected more Mike Pandey's in conjunction with John Abraham's are needed. May this Environment Day on June 5, begin a new chapter in this direction.

Did the Ducks find a formula to success in game three when they scored 6 times or will the Oilers rebound with a more disciplined effort in game four? Dana Lane explains why the 'Under' is a winner tonight.
Both teams the Ducks and Oilers received a much-needed rest between games three and four but how does a two-day layoff typically affect both teams in relation to betting 'totals'?
In the Ducks last 8 games playing on two days rest or more, the 'under' is 5-1-2 while the Oilers 'under' come in at 8-2-1 in their last 11. From that, it's safe to say that, at least from recent form, our selection tonight is solid.
Forget what you just saw in game three, meaning, forget that there were 9 goals scored. Each game is its own entity with the last game having very little to do with the next with the exception of a major injury.
Despite the avalanche of offense in game three when you analyze both teams defensively it leaves you with very little choice to not think 'under' first.
The Ducks are struggling through a few injuries to defensemen Kevin Bieksa and Simon Despres but let's not overlook the fact that they'll get a much stronger effort from Sami Vatanen now that he has a game under his belt. Vatanen hasn't played since game one in the first round against Calgary.
On the other hand, Oilers don't get enough credit for their defensive depth, a unit that finished 8th in goals allowed this season(2.52). If you take out the six given up to Anaheim, Edmonton has given up just 2.25 goals per game.
There is some pressure on Oscar Klefbom and Adam Larsson who were a combined -3 with only three shots total in game three. I anticipate a better effort in their own end while getting more involved offensively.
For your NHL picks today, expect the healthy Oilers defensive core to rebound as both teams keep this game under the 'total'.

Professional make-up studios can be expensive conceit to visit them every day. So why not separate a room or corner at home to learn this craft yourself. Next step after that will be to start a makeup blog and learn the rest of the world how to apply eyeliner in the easiest possible way.
- The mirror is king. This is the central piece around which you will assemble the rest. It should be big enough and well lit. Depending on the design and the atmosphere that you want to achieve you can use ready-made mirror with light bulbs around it to make you feel like like a movie star or an oval mirror with opulent frame and lamp stands for more romantic feeling.
- Queen's throne. When it's time for makeup, you need to feel comfortable and stable. Buy or choose a chair that is adjustable and movable. This way you will be able to use it around the house and to fit it to your friends and possible clients. Avoid placing rug under it because spilled make up can cause the need of hiring company for carpet cleaning services Bromley.
- The make up. Depends if you do it only for yourself and your friends or you consider making it your profession, you can order pallets with different colors and products online, keep in mind that some sites make discounts for orders over certain sum. This discount may give you free a product that you need.
- Treasure chest. In your case this would be the place where you store your makeup. If you have kids it is advisable to use cabinet that can be locked. It should fit the style of the mirror and your height, so not to reach up or down when you work. Also don't choose too heavy cabinets. If you want to have impressive place for your make up better try to remodel light and cheap cabinet. It will be more functional when you need to move to a bigger studio and you call the end of tenancy cleaners Bromley.

Cox Back In The Cow
Well look at this…have I got a Valentines Day treat for you? Yes. Yes I do. It's this news. I'm delighted to say that I'll be back inside the giant upside down purple cow in at the E4 Udderbelly Festival on London's South Bank for two shows only on the 29th May and 19th June 2012 at 9pm.Tickets have just gone on sale here…. Here's all the info… it'd be lovely to see you there. It really would.Chris Cox returns to London's Southbank with his award winning show Fatal Distraction for two performances only at the E4 Udderbelly Festival at 9pm on the 29th May & 19th June 2012 with tickets costing £12.50.Fatal Distraction is the fifth brand new show from the multi award-winning, five star, fringe sell-out, mind reader who can't read minds, Chris Cox. He's been on TV, toured the world and is somehow still getting away with it. Fatal Distraction has picked up a magical hat full of 5 star reviews and won the 2011 Venue Magazine award for best comedy show. Chris will be doing things he shouldn't be able to do with the fringe brochure, performing tricks nobody has ever done before, controlling coincidence, probing theories of fate and answering the FAQ: 'Can you use this stuff on girls?'. Determined to deliver the most satisfying hour possible Chris will be handing control over to his audience by giving them the power to control his actions with their minds. Cox manages to mix a love based narrative with some of the most unique and incredible mind-reading effects ever seen on the stage. Breathtakingly accurate, his predictions are a mongrel hybrid mix of psychology, magic, body language, influencing, comedy, devilish good looks, and lying. He constantly astonishes audiences with cutting-edge and highly imaginative stunts, charmingly delivered with a warm and mischievous sense of fun.Chris already knows you won't buy a ticket, why not prove the geeky mind reader wrong?Please bring your mind for reading purposes.Tickets are now on sale.

He's probably made a pact with Satan, but what the hell – this is top entertainment." **** Venue Magazine'I had to cover my mouth to conceal the fact it was hanging open in a mix of shock and excitement…a bewildering talent…a world class act…a magnificent experience for anyone" ***** Fringe GuruWhat the press say about Chris Cox 'One of the most exciting entertainers in Britain…the hottest ticket in town' The Guardian 'Stunning.... has other magicians scratching their heads.' The Times 'Does tricks that would make Jesus proud. A truly talented performer, with simply astonishing tricks, prepare to be amazed.'

The Chocolate-Covered-Cookie Tantrum
Harvey Stevenson
The Chocolate-Covered-Cookie Tantrum
Release Date: 3/22/1999
LIST PRICE: $6.95 (you save $1.39)
While in the park Sophie decides she wants a cookie and throws a tantrum when her mother will not give her what she wants.
""Toddlers who need some behavioral reflection (and parents who need a role model in fortitude) should put this toward the top of their reading list."" The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
""A slice-of-life picture book that acknowledges the intense emotions of a toddler. On the way home from the park, Sophie spots another child eating a chocolate-covered cookie. 'I want a cookie,' she says pointing a stubby finger, 'I want that cookie.' Despite her mother's calm and logical response, Sophie becomes more and more upset, finally launching into a tantrum that involves kicking, screaming, tears, and a face as 'hot as a pepper.' . . .

Prices are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report.Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short. Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which equity securities trade in public market are determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test.A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency- related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to firstname.lastname@example.com/On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.

It's unusual for companies engaged in patent litigation to comment on how the fight is going. But Barracuda Networks CEO Dean Drako has openly sought FOSS community support for his company's defense again a Trend Micro lawsuit that, while filed against his company, is really about ClamAV. We've written about this before, as have others. In this video, however, we'll let Dean tell you in his own words what's going on -- and why.

Shepherd moons are small bodies sequestered within planetary rings. These diminutive moons, which can resemble asteroids, play an important role in keeping the rings of the four gas giants (Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, and Uranus) neat and tidy.
One of the most notable shepherd moons, Prometheus, so named for the Titan in Ancient Greek mythology, is an elongated, icy rock skirting the inner edge of Saturn's F-ring.
Prometheus, along with another shepherd moon, Pandora, helps define the F-ring. The gravitational pull of the two bodies removes loose dust and ice from the gaps between the rings, either by consuming it, returning it to the rings, or pushing it out of the system.
>>above: Prometheus (bottom) and Pandora. The F-ring, estimated to be just a few hundred kilometres wide, is between the two shepherd moons. Image by NASA.
Shepherd moons can also affect the structure of planetary rings directly by 'stealing' material from them. This action can gouge dark bands and channels in the ring, and cause orderly lines of material to twist and distort.
Astronomers believe that all of Saturn's rings are governed by shepherd moons to some extent. Equally, Uranus and Jupiter both have ring sculptors in their midst, while Neptune has at least one shepherd moon, the namesake of a living statue in Greek mythology, Galatea.
>>above: Prometheus 'steals' material from Saturn's F-ring.
Galatea, a moon with arguably the worst passport photo in astronomy, has been cited as the cause of an as-yet unexplained phenomena in Neptune's rings; that of large arcs in the Adam's ring.
These arcs, which manifest as bright patches along the length of the planet's rings, indicate that material is concentrated in one particular area, possibly due to the gravitational pull of Galatea.
So, there you have it; the answer to a question you never asked.

Peach, pear & almond cake with whipped lemon & vanilla ricotta
Tis the season for smug couples galore. Sure, that is probably not the next smashing title of a Mills & Boon bestseller, but seriously, peachy pairs are EVERWHERE.
I realised I am the ninth wheel of my friend group on the weekend. Four happy pairs, and me. A beautifully asymmetric enneagon. This painful realisation was glaringly obvious at our latest pool party, cosy couples and sodden smooches galore. Unwieldy floatation device for one?
And it's not just pool parties where they will obnoxiously shove their insufferable togetherness down your gullet, like a mummy bird with a big fat, suffocating worm.
They're out purposefully spoiling every rom com that ever aired at your local cinema, silhouettes of intimate popcorn feeding dancing tauntingly across the screen. They need to go and get a room. A room full of rotting onions, broken glass and heavily pregnant boa constrictors. That'll learn 'em.
When on and off-screen couples unite, the exponential purporting of peachy pairs is inevitable. Why can't script writers throw us a bone and concoct a few new role models? They could pen something like 'Single Forever,' or 'Family Affair'- a documentary style film set on a genetically isolated island of sex-addicted cannibals.
The moment you wake up and reach for your phone, obligatory Facebook check imminent, there they are en masse, leering. The guy you went on a casual Tinder date with mere days earlier, mysteriously "in a relationship" with Boring Boreface,* accompanied by a cute pictorial of them gazing lovingly at one another across a neglected melting gelato.
*Pseudonym used for the sake of anonymity
You have to hand it to them though, day in, day out, walking the streets flogging their loved up way of life to us last remaining singletons, sporting matching band shits, joint-custody poochy pal at the helm – that kind of smug euphoria can't be easy. But still, did the residual finger-snapping independent singles die out with the last Sex and the City episode?
Instead of continuing my peachy pair smack talk, I have decided to smoosh my angsty feelings into this delicious peach, pear and almond cake with whipped vanilla and lemon ricotta. Have it for breakfast and I promise your bitter loneliness will transfigure into sunshine and butterflies.
- 2 cups oat flour (ground oats)
- ¾ cup almond meal or lsa
- 3 heaped teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups peach and pear stewed until soft in cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of ginger and vanilla bean paste
- 2 large free range eggs
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1 large teaspoon vanilla bean extract
- Juice of ½ lemon (or more to taste) + finely grated rind
- 250g of fresh ricotta
- Honey + roasted and chopped almonds to serve
- Combine dry ingredients in one bowl.
- Once stewed fruit has cooled, combine with eggs, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar.
- Pour batter into an oiled or lined cake tin and bake until golden on top and springy to touch.
- In a food processor, combine ricotta, lemon juice, rind and vanilla bean extract/paste until smooth and fluffy.
- Serve cake fresh out of the oven topped with a dollop of ricotta mix, a drizzle of honey and a handful of chopped roasted almonds.

European stock markets were mostly lower on Thursday on downbeat earnings from major banks while the euro rose against the dollar after the US Federal Reserve's latest economic outlook, traders said.
In midday deals, Frankfurt's DAX 30 index shed 0.57 percent to 6,666.63 points and the Paris CAC 40 fell 0.75 percent to 3,209.96 points but in London the FTSE 100 edged up 0.07 percent to 5,722.88 points.
Milan slid 1.0 percent to 14,461.23 points after an Italian debt auction that raised 8.5 billion euros ($11.3 billion) in six-month bonds at higher rates than a similar sale last month.
In foreign exchange deals, the euro advanced to $1.3239 from $1.3215 in New York late Wednesday.
The banking sector took a hit following weak earnings from Britain's Barclays, Spain's Santander and Germany's Deutsche Bank.
Barclays shares lost 1.23 percent to 213.6 pence after it suffered a net loss of £337 million ($546 million, 412 million euros) in the first quarter due to a huge accounting charge and compensation claims.
Santander tumbled 4.21 percent to 4.709 euros after the Spanish bank's first-quarter net profit slumped 23.9 percent to 1.6 billion euros.
Deutsche Bank meanwhile dived 5.27 percent to 32.335 euros after Germany's biggest lender said its net profit plunged by a third in the first three months as a result of weaker market conditions and exceptional charges.
In London, pharmaceuticals giant AstraZeneca topped the fallers board, shedding 5.83 percent to 2,675.3 pence.
The Anglo-Dutch drugs said net profits dived 44 percent in the first quarter and announced the exit of chief executive David Brennan.
On the upside, energy giant Royal Dutch Shell was boosted after posting a 16-percent jump in adjusted first-quarter net profits on the back of higher oil prices, with its shares up 3.2 percent to 2,259 pence.
Asian markets edged up on Thursday after a cautiously upbeat assessment of the US economy by the Federal Reserve and comments from its chairman that he would provide more support if necessary.
Earlier gains were pared as dealers await a Bank of Japan policy meeting on Friday, while ongoing concerns about Europe proved to be a weight on sentiment.
Tokyo was closed flat, Hong Kong added 0.79 percent, Seoul gained 0.10 percent and Sydney rose 0.34 percent.
On Wednesday the Fed said it would keep interest rates at super-low levels until at least 2014 and forecast the world's biggest economy would grow more than first stated this year while unemployment would continue to fall.
However, it held off on any more stimulus measures for now, instead sticking to its current loose policy despite recent data showing the big pick-up in job creation had slowed.
After the two-day meeting chairman Ben Bernanke said further stimulus would be "reckless" but added that he was ready to use whatever tools he had at his disposal at any moment.
The Fed news boosted Wall Street's main indexes on Wednesday. The Dow climbed 0.69 percent, the Nasdaq jumped 2.30 percent and the S&P 500 rose 1.36 percent.

ELIZABETH, New Jersey (WABC) --Police have arrested a New Jersey man they say repeatedly sexually assaulted a child after he was hired as a caretaker.
Now, 31-year-old Jonathan Tavara-Nima, of Elizabeth, is charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, one count of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, two counts of second-degree sexual assault, and three counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Authorities say the investigation revealed that Tavara-Nima was hired by the victim's family last year using the website Care.com and ultimately entrusted to care for the girl on a regular basis. Care.com is a marketplace that enables families to find caregivers and caregivers to find jobs.
The victim, who is under the age of 13, was reportedly found to have been sexually assaulted multiple times in locations including the Benedict Motel in Linden, a residence in Union Township, and in Tavara-Nima's vehicle.
Tavara-Nima also allegedly photographed her in sexual poses using his cell phone during the encounters.
Anyone with additional information about Tavara-Nima's activities or who may have hired him to care for a child is being urged to contact Special Victims Unit Detective Josh Rios at 908-965-3809 or Sgt. Patricia Gusmano at 908-965-3877.
Under New Jersey's Jessica Lunsford Act, a conviction on a charge of aggravated sexual assault against a child under 13 results in a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in state prison, with the full term to be served before the possibility of parole.
