Writing from the edge of the Russian River in Sonoma County
In this month's edition I'll share our tasting of a top rated wine, the problems facing the wine industry with an aging market place, problems with the supply of wine bottles and the weaponizing of Fresca of all things and of course some other tasty stuff. Enjoy!
Tasting A Top Ten Value Wine
Two days after the Wine Spectator magazine named the 2019 Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel one of the top 10 wine values of 2021 wine we were there.
We've never had the chance to do this before so it was sort of a thrill to read the announcement on January 12th and to be at the winery in Healdsburg two days later sampling the award winner – because we could!
If you're a regular Zin drinker you've seen the label in wine stores and super markets as this is their "cash" wine from vineyards in the top Sonoma county regions of Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Around 100,000 cases of Zin are produced from lots harvested from some 800 acres of winery and grower owned vineyards.
"Our wine maker (Andy Robinson) got an email from the Wine Spectator telling him that we had been selected as fifth in a list of ten selections", shares Tony Sciuilo VIP Liaison at Seghesio Family Vineyards. "He (Andy) had a smile on his face the entire week as he told all of us about getting the ranking." Sciuilo explained further, "It's our most popular wine made from a beautiful blend of younger vine fruit with a little petite Syrah in it. It's a really is a good expression of the kind of Zinfandel that we make at a good price point ($12-18)".
He expressed, "We want people to try the Sonoma Zinfandel at their local store or at a restaurant and we hope that creates some wonder about what other types of wine we make.
I also want to mention our tasting room host Katherine who did a fine job of presenting a very tasty sampling of other vineyard designated Zins. Ask for her if you visit the winery.
Four generations of Seghesios have been growing grapes and making wine from the Alexander and Dry Creek valleys in northern Sonoma County and have transformed the winery from a jug-wine factory into one of California's elite Zinfandel specialists.
Wine Drinkers Aren't Getting Any Younger – And That's a Problem
The Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) released its closely watched State of the Wine Industry report for 2022 in January flagging a number of structural challenges facing the (wine) business moving forward. Chief among those hurdles is the declining adoption of wine by younger consumers, who have been more enthusiastic about spirits, seltzers, and low and no-alcohol offerings. While the baby boom generation continues to favor higher price points in wine, overall category demand will wane looking ahead due to this shortfall of younger drinkers, the report found.
Perhaps more ominously, SVB issued a warning about the future of the restaurant channel for wine. "The restaurant industry will continue to decline as a sales channel for wine due to overpricing on the menu and consumers (not baby boomers) who value other alcoholic beverages over wine," it stated. "Restaurants will find that wine is not in demand at the prices charged and that maintaining deep stocks of wine is not worth the cost." This will probably cause a spiral effect on the quality of wine lists as owners stock less of the better bottles and more generic and cheaper ones that many of us won't buy and round and round. I predict a big increase in the payment of corkage fees to be able to BYO.
On the more positive side, SVB predicts ongoing growth for wineries in the e-commerce space, with online sales expected to improve on their current share of 9% of an average winery's sales. The supply chain issues that have complicated operations for players at all levels of the business are expected to moderate over the course of this year, the report added, while inflation is likely to pressure wine sellers across the market to raise prices in the coming year.
Some related statics that further explain the issues:
Boomers – 57-75 and Gen Xers –41-56 are tied for wine as their preferred beverage
What would you bring to a party to share?
65+ 50% wine – 18% beer
55-64 29% wine – 18% beer
45-54 30% wine
To my sense of importance here is a most telling reveal; the wine industry spends $90 million a year on media, ever seen a wine commercial on TV and the beer industry spends…$1.4 billion! That's going to have to change for wine to remain relevant into the future.
The Cost of Wine Hasn't Gone up But The Price of The Bottle Has – Sort of
California winemakers say they are grappling with a glass crisis that has sent the price of bottles shooting up, raising fears that they'll have to increase costs for consumers. The challenges began in 2019, when the Trump administration imposed tariffs on scores of Chinese goods including glass bottles, which now have an 18% duty.
The strategy to get more companies to buy American glass worked, but it raised domestic prices and competition, and forced some wine makers to use a Chinese alternative, paying the duty.
Global port congestion, the Suez Canal blockage and the lack of transportation workers due to COVID-19 also caused headaches and raised prices.
In that Silicon Valley Bank wine industry survey 76% of wineries said that glass was difficult to find in 2021, by far the most of any material.
Anthony Beckman, a winemaker at Balletto Vineyards in Santa Rosa, has seen glass prices rise 40% to 60% in the past year and is now paying $14 to $18 for a case of a dozen bottles. The winery distributes 25,000 cases a year – I did the math for you that's $450,000. I found this example to be on the rather high side by the way, another wine maker's costs only went up $6.00 per case.
Business has been good and sales are above 2019 levels, but Beckman fears that the higher packaging costs may force wine price increases this year.
But not so fast says the Glass Packaging Institute –
The winemakers' pain is because of supply chain congestion, which has snarled the delivery of everything from clothing to food to semiconductors, not because of a shortage in glass, said Scott Defife, president of the industry group for container manufacturers and suppliers.
"This new issue is almost entirely a logistics thing. Not a shortage, it's a backlog. North American production is fine. It's tight and it's heavy, but it's fine," he said. "This is all about unfilled imports."
Imports account for 20% to 25% of the North American market and China had been the largest supplier for a few years, but deliveries shifted due to the Trumps tariffs.
In his remarks to Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in January, DeFife stated that: "A glass shortage is not an accurate description of the current state of the market. We understand some end-market customers may have issues with getting bottle stock, but that is not a "glass shortage".
"Domestic glass suppliers have not run out of excess inventory," DeFife said, "nor is there any shortage of raw materials to make glass. All materials needed to manufacture glass in North America can be sourced in North America.

Coca-Cola Remakes Fresca Into An Adult Beverage
Taking my second lest favorite Coke product Fresca, with Tab being my really least favorite, Constellation Brands has struck a deal with Coca-Cola to target the booming premixed cocktail category through the latter's Fresca brand. Under the agreement, Constellation will produce, market, distribute, and launch Fresca Mixed, a new line of spirit-based, ready-to-drink cocktails.
Fresca is currently the fastest growing soft drink trademark in the Coca-Cola Company's U.S. portfolio and is used as a cocktail mixer, a soft drink, and a zero-calorie, zero-sugar sparkling soda water. Constellation's Fresca Mixed premixed cocktails are expected to roll out this year. The alliance furthers a trend of blurring lines across the drinks business, in which Molson Coors is partnered with Coca-Cola on the Topo Chico hard seltzer brand, Boston Beer has aligned with PepsiCo to produce Hard Mtn Dew, and Beam Suntory has agreed to collaborate with Boston Beer on the Truly and Sauza brands.

The Cheese Lady at Whole Foods
I wanted to share this interesting whole page feature from a recent issue of the Wine Spectator about the global cheese buyer for Whole Foods, Cathy Strange and how she revolutionized the grocer's selections and brought artisan picks from local producers to the local Whole Food stores and noted that their top store in Texas carries 1,600 selections but most average at least 400.
Strange was working at a local store in her hometown of Chapel Hill, N. C., when it was acquired by Whole Foods in 1992. She went along for the ride, as the company grew from 11 stores to more than 500, with annual sales topping $16 billion.
"People forget what the artisan cheese world was like in 2000," says Mike Koch of Maryland's Firefly Farms. "The idea that Whole Foods could buy independently from local producers like us was revolutionary."
In 1998, she was promoted to Global Cheese Buyer. Over the next 15 years she became arguably the most influential American buyer in all of fine cheese. In 2019, according to the Specialty Food Association, Whole Foods' yearly cheese sales hit $425 million. But that scale hasn't deterred Strange from championing the little guys; no producer is too small or local for consideration. This April she debuted Deer Creek Cheddars, aged 18 and 36 months, from Wisconsin's Artisan Exchange.
Strange cold-calls at least one of the 1,500-odd WFM cheese mongers per week: "I ask them, 'What are you tasting? What are you inspired by?' " She also supplies feedback and encouragement to cheesemakers: "In December, we had some Rush Creek Reserves in-store and they had that brothy savoriness that's a unique aspect of the milk. So I called [cheesemaker] Andy [Hatch] to let him know we really liked the way this lot was tasting."

Dyson have now moved into the electrical heater industry, with their latest product made for heating rooms.
Dyson are known for selling millions of bagless vacuum cleaners, hand dryers and bladeless fans, their new product will see them reaching into the heating industry.
The heater will retail at £269 and is said to be faster and more efficient than products available at present. Sir James Dyson has said that he hopes the device will see impressive annual sales over the coming three years.
Th[e] business [of electric heaters] is at least as large as the vacuum cleaner sector and I hope we will do as well in this as we have done in floor cleaners, said Sir James.
The company founded by Sir James in 1993 has seen success in recent years despite the troubled economy. Last years sales totalled $1.2bn, with most coming from vacuum sales and the rest from fans and hand dyers, including the very popular airblade dryers.
The new invention uses air movement technology the same used in the blade-less fans it produces. Dyson also used ideas from jet engines and turbo-chargers. The fan blows air through a heating element at 10-15 litres per second. This heats rooms very quickly wasting only a small amount of energy.
One of the benefits of the new device is that it will heat all the air in the room to reduce the effect of hot and cold spots. Sensors measure the temperature of the surrounding air so that once the desired temperature is reached, the system cuts out, making the product much more efficient and useful than comparable heaters, he said.
Sir James has said his latest venture is part of the organisations attempt to become a broadline technology company. I would not limit the company to particular areas of technology or markets. We are developing a range of technologies to improve both industrial and consumer products so that the people using them get a better experience than with the comparable items that currently exist.

Already hurt by a drug company clampdown on supplies and a falling U.S. dollar that have raised prices to American consumers, Canadian mail-order pharmacies are bracing for a federal regulatory crackdown that they claim will force them to set up shop on friendlier shores.
Already hurt by a drug company clampdown on supplies and a falling U.S. dollar that have raised prices to American consumers, Canadian mail-order pharmacies are bracing for a federal regulatory crackdown that they claim will force them to set up shop on friendlier shores.
Canada Health Minister Ujjal Dosanjh has proposed three regulatory changes to protect the country's domestic drug supply and pricing structure. He has proposed making it illegal for Canadian doctors to co-sign foreign scripts, prohibiting noncitizens from acquiring drugs unless they come to Canada and are physically examined by a Canadian doctor, and prohibiting certain drugs in short supply from being dispensed to foreigners.
Dosanjh was expected to deliver his final recommendations to the cabinet late last month. By using the order-in-council process, the government does not have to consult with the House of Commons and members of the opposition. And a requirement for a 75-day stakeholder consultation period could be waived.
Most Canadian mail-order pharmacies have drafted contingency plans to move their operations if the federal government follows through with its regulatory plans. "We have already begun to diversify our operations as a result of the drug supply restriction schemes of seven manufacturers," MacKay told Drug Topics.
"All of the CIPA pharmacies have contingency plans for foreign fulfillment-primarily in the European Union," MacKay continued. "Fulfillment would occur overseas with some aspects of the operations such as call centers remaining in Canada. Some will be partnerships; some will be operations owned by the original Canadian pharmacy. Distance-based healthcare delivery is a global trend that cannot be stifled. Instead of regulating a small pipeline from Canada, this will become a worldwide distribution model that involves more than 20 countries without sacrificing safety."
It's not clear where the Canadian regulations will leave the states that have set up drug importation plans. Also up in the air is Rhode Island's new law authorizing the state pharmacy board to license Canadian mail-order pharmacies. The new law, which expires on Dec. 31, 2007, was enacted last summer without the signature of the governor, who was leery of openly flouting U.S. drug laws.
A legal challenge to the new licensure law has been ruled out by the Rhode Island Pharmacists Association, said executive director Jack Hutson. He added that communications with the Food & Drug Administration indicated the agency would send a letter to the state attorney general saying importation is illegal.
"Everyone already knows it's illegal," Hutson said. "The reality is that proponents of drug importation wear its illegality like a badge of honor. The pharmacy board rejected the licensure regulations that were proposed. The department of health did very little work on promulgating the regulations because it fully expected to be enjoined in a lawsuit. That's not happening. This thing is going through."
The state pharmacy board did not respond to requests for comment on the new law or how it plans to implement it. However, there have been inquiries about the licensure regulations that appear to require only that pharmacies hold a valid Canadian license, said Carmen Catizone, executive director, National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
The Rhode Island situation is worrisome because if it is not legally knocked down, other states will opt for licensure of Canadian pharmacies, said Catizone. "Our concern is that legislators and governors are bypassing the pharmacy board and, second, where does it end?" he said. "I don't put much credence in the Canadian pharmacies' threats to move to Great Britain because they're already operating there anyway. It almost seems as if it won't end unless the FDA takes legal action against a state or municipality or we simply create global pharmacies."
Pharmacists Play Unique Role in Advancing Health Equity for Patients With Chronic Disease
December 7th 2023A new study, outlined in a poster at ASHP Midyear 2023, identified 3 key themes associated with the ways in which pharmacists are positioned to advance health equity for patients with chronic diseases.

President Donald Trump urged Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams to accept defeat and concede the race to Republican Brian Kemp in a Friday tweet aboard Air Force One en route to Paris.
.@BrianKempGA ran a great race in Georgia – he won. It is time to move on!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 9, 2018
Kemp currently holds approximately 50.3 percent of the vote with Abrams 48.7 percent. Abrams, however, refuses to concede the race contending that when the final vote tally is in, it will show Kemp below 50 percent of the vote.
Georgia law requires that if neither candidate holds a definitive majority, a runoff election in December is required.
"Across our state, folks are opening up the dreams of voters in absentee ballots, and we believe our chance for a stronger Georgia is just within reach," Abrams said Wednesday as her campaign legally maneuvers to count more absentee ballots.
Kemp, by contrast, has declared that there aren't enough votes to be counted that would make a difference in the campaign and is accusing Abrams of trying to steal the election.
Trump later tweeted sarcastically about the ongoing election disputes in Georgia and Florida:
You mean they are just now finding votes in Florida and Georgia – but the Election was on Tuesday? Let's blame the Russians and demand an immediate apology from President Putin!

One of the hardest decisions for a company is to rebuild or replace a core piece of custom legacy software. You've invested in its development and upgrades over the years and don't want to see that investment lost. So, has the time come to rebuild or replace your application?
First a couple of definitions:
- Rebuild: A rebuild describes projects that change the structure of an application, deploy major new features or functionality, add new languages or currencies, integrate new or upgraded data sources and/or connect to new external solutions. A rebuild commonly includes updating the coding language to a more modern version.
- Replace: Replacing can mean moving to an off-the-shelf software solution (if one exists that will meet all your needs) or building a new custom solution from the ground up. Building a new custom application typically includes taking new business requirements into account, adding significant new features, combining multiple applications, or providing more seamless integration with other IT systems. The good news is the old solution can serve as a valuable roadmap and guide to help speed the development of the new application.
In today's rapidly-changing, digitally-connected world, software and applications are subject to a defined lifecycle and require on-going checks and maintenance to ensure they continue to work as effectively and securely as they did when they were put into place. Any application that's not working optimally could cause you to lose customers or top talent who become frustrated by lagging, outdated systems.
Take our quiz to help identify some of the issues that might be impacting your application and to see if it's time to rebuild or replace your software.
Your Results
Under 30% -> Start Thinking: You're seeing some performance issues so it's time to start thinking about modernization strategies. A refresh or rehost might be sufficient depending on the issues but consider if long-term a rebuild or replace will be needed and start building your case.
31-70% -> Rebuild: Getting the performance and features you want might just require one of the application layers to be rebuilt. Start the discussions to identify the options and alternatives.
71-100% ->Replace: Sometimes starting fresh will allow you to incorporate all the elements you want, and let you ensure connectivity between applications is seamless. Overlaying band-aid after band-aid can make a solution unwieldly and unstable, which can cause even more problems down the road.
Every situation is different and you could be facing drivers that accelerate the need to rebuild or replace to take advantage of modern features and functions. It can be a difficult decision to replace an application but it can be the best decision for your business over the long term. It's not necessarily a case of throwing out the old for something new – any new custom application takes advantage of the lessons learned and best practices built into the original solution.

During a Special Council Presentation in May, Vice Mayor Stephen Shelley recognized Homestead Main Street, Inc. for their contributions to Downtown Homestead community life and their recent honor in which the State of Florida named the organization the Community Main Street of the Month of May. Communities are selected based on their developmental achievements and participation in the Florida Main Street Program.
Said Yvonne Knowles, Executive Director of Homestead Main Street, "For the last 20 years we have worked closely with the City of Homestead, its merchants and cultural groups to restore and promote our downtown area and it has paid dividends. Most recently, the National Parks Trolley has drawn a record number of tourists to our downtown Historic District which bodes very well for what's over the horizon for every resident that calls Homestead 'home'."
Throughout the year, Homestead Main Street participates and organizes an array of events in the historic downtown for Homestead residents and visitors to enjoy. Among the events organized by Main Street is Krome Avenue Goes Cajun, which this year brought over 2,000 visitors to the downtown district in celebration of Mardi Gras. Additionally, Homestead Main Street administers car shows, dog contests, book fairs and more.
"Homestead is an energetic city," said Vice Mayor Shelley, who is the City Council's Liaison to Homestead Main Street. "We couldn't ask for a better partner than Homestead Main Street to help us show it."
The Main Street Program is a statewide program administered by the Division of Historical Resources under the Florida Department of State. It serves to encourage economic development within the context of historical preservation through the revitalization of a city's heart and soul- its downtown center. The example set in Homestead, since it was designated a Florida Main Street Community in 1993, was what compelled the state to recognize the city. Ninety-four construction and rehabilitation projects totaling over $36 million, 121 business openings and almost 600 new jobs in that time.

Friday March 13, 2015, 10:30 am-12 pmChurch Center for the United Nations, 2nd Floor
Known as the Forgotten War, the Korean War (1950-53) claimed 4 million lives and ended only with a cease-fire. The absence of a peace treaty has left Korea in a state of war, which has led to the massive militarization and repression of democracy and human rights on both sides of the DMZ.
20 years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action on the Status of Women, history has shown that peace is attainable and inextricably linked with the advancement of women, who are a fundamental force for leadership, conflict resolution and the promotion of lasting peace at all levels.
UNSC 1325 ushered in a new international standard requiring all parties to ensure that women participate fully in peace negotiations and post-conflict reconstruction.
On the 15th anniversary of UNSC 1325, and on the 70th anniversary of Korea's division by Cold War powers, leading global women peacemakers will walk with Korean women in North and South Korea calling for an end to the state of war and the reunification of families.
The women hope to cross the De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea -- the most militarized border in the world -- as a symbolic act of peace.
The International Women's Walk for Peace and Reunification of Korea is one concrete way that women can contribute to the peace process and participants will urge both governments to honor their commitments to 1325.
Speakers: Cora Weiss, Ann Wright, Hyun-Kyung Chung, Suzy Kim, and Christine Ahn
Sponsors: United Methodist Women and Women De-militarize the Zone

It appears that almost the entire focus of the response to the BP oil rig spill in the Gulf of Mexico is on how to deal with the oil on the surface of the water. The focus needs to be on shutting down the well.
As in cancer treatment, early action, even if risky, brings quicker results than dealing with metastasis.
Because the oil is flowing freely from an oil field under pressure, rather than from a ship, the supply of oil is potentially endless and it won't stop flowing until the underwater well is capped. That is what BP must focus on while the army of federal agencies and their consultants deal with the surface consequences of this growing disaster.
BP should consider the following:
-- Apply a small blast at the wellhead. This could shut down the well. There is some risk here, but it is not enough to exclude this option. After the blast, BP would have at worst one leak to deal with rather than many along the fallen riser pipe that sits bent, broken and leaking on the ocean floor. In this approach, the workers would cut the pipe at the wellhead, introduce the explosive through a damaged blowout preventer and hope for the best. The risk is that the pressure of the oil rising from the well could be overwhelming, and the flow from the well may actually increase for a short time. If the blast does not work, there are the other options.
-- Mud suction at the ocean bottom is a little-known phenomenon that has sunk submarines. Submarine operators know that this sometimes prevents a submarine from lifting itself off the ocean bottom. Mediterranean fishermen have considered this phenomenon in designing anchors for their boats for more than 2,000 years. A technology that takes advantage of what is known as "the breakout phenomenon" could be applied on the top of and below the leaking oil pipe. Think of an inverted drinking goblet the size of a one-story building. If that structure were dropped to the bottom of the sea so that it sinks the pipe into the sediment, it would reduce or stop the leaking until a permanent solution is found. The vibration applied on the sides of the structure would pull it down into the sediment, and side friction and mud suction would offset the pressure of the oil leak and keep the structure down. The difference in this technology from the one currently considered is that there would be no need for pumping oil to the surface ships - a difficult endeavor.
-- Bury the pipe in fast-setting concrete, similar to what the Russians did with the Chernobyl reactor. It was not a permanent solution, but it did stop the leak at the time. This is probably the least expensive and quickest alternative.
Or, instead of fast-setting concrete, interlocking concrete blocks could be manufactured easily and lowered to clamp the pipe and stop the leak.
The number of options is admittedly reduced when operating in 5,000 feet of water, but they exist. Some say that robots have never been used in an operation of this magnitude nor at this depth. However, the wreck of the Titanic was found lying on the ocean floor at a depth of about 13,000 feet, and submersible robots were used to retrieve objects from it. The Hughes Glomar Explorer, which was used in the attempt to lift a Russian nuclear submarine that had sunk in very deep waters near Hawaii, could offer some lessons and technology.
Ironically, the ship is still around and used for oil exploration in Indonesia. One thing is certain: There will be plenty of information gleaned to develop strategies for the next time.
Neno Duplan is the president and CEO of Locus Technologies in Mountain View. He did his 1986 doctoral dissertation on technology that exploits the breakout phenomenon.

Opera's Latest 11.60 Builds Shows Mail Improvements
The Opera web browser is the only popular web browser - and with that I mean market share wise - that ships with its own built-in email client. While I have not used Opera Mail in a long while thanks to the excellent desktop mail software Thunderbird, I have always followed the news closely. Opera is currently working on two different Opera versions. First the soon to be released Opera 11.60 and then on the version after that, Opera 12.
Mail improvements and changes have been implemented into the latest snapshot build of Opera 11.60. Snapshot builds are Opera versions released for testing and bug finding. While they usually work fine they are not suitable for productive environments.
Please note that the released snapshot build will upgrade existing Opera stable builds by default. Users who want to install the snapshot for testing purposes should click on Options and select a different home directory to avoid this. (One option would be to select the Stand-aline installation in the advanced options).
Probably the biggest change in this release apart from the cleaned up look is the new two-lined message list.
The new layout displays three mail columns when Opera Mail is opened. First the Opera Mail message, feeds and attachment listing on the left, then the actual messages from the selected mail folder and after that the selected message.
Users who do not like the change can switch back to list only or list and message below views easily.
Mails are now also automatically grouped by date. This can be switched as well to status, label, size or subject sorting, and grouping by read status, flag or date.
Another interesting new feature is the ability to pin important messages in Opera Mail. That's handy if you need to reply to an important message but cannot do so right away, or if you need to access contents of a mail regularly. The pin message button appears in the message's header and as a small dot next to the message listing.
Interested computer users can download the latest Opera 11.60 snapshot with improved mail module from the announcement over at the Opera Desktop team blog. Downloads are provided for all supported operating systems (which means Windows, Mac and Linux).

After they had identified a need for support in developing community-led tourism, we were invited by the Mohill local community and Leitrim County Council to carry out local research and engagement around the issue of tourist accommodation facilities. Given its close proximity to the very popular Lough Rynn, the locals had identified the potential of water-based activities to bring more economic activity to the town. However, there was a lack of low to medium cost tourist accommodation in the area.
We were asked to work with the town team to assess the accommodation these groups would need. The resulting report would then be used by the community as support for broader plans and funding applications. This process involved working with local young people, the wider community, recreational sports users of Lough Rynn, and other visitors to the area. It was important to connect with a cross-section of both the local community and the temporary communities that spring up around major events such as the Lough Rynn Regatta.
What amenities should be available in a new accommodation project? Which building would be most suitable? How would the community feel if these buildings were repurposed for this purpose? We also wanted to investigate how local residents in Mohill would feel about this project, if they had any preference or aversion to which building was used or if the wider community would prefer another project entirely to occupy these spaces.
In an effort to get feedback from the wider community, we took a stand at the Mohill Agricultural Show. Other groups engaged with included Tourism Ireland, Rynn-Shannon Angling Club, and local GAA representatives. At the Lough Rynn Regatta, rowers and canoers were consulted about what they needed, in terms of accommodation and services, as well as Canoeing Ireland.
In order to further include the voice of young people, we worked with the architect Ciara Reynolds to establish which building would be the most preferred among young people for this project. Reynolds ran sessions with secondary school students to gauge their ideas and suggestions. While they saw an economic opportunity for their town, they also envisioned a chance to bring disused buildings back to life, not just for accommodation, but for restaurants, cafes, and social outlets.
Based on the engagement report produced in the town, Leitrim County Council then commissioned the IAF to create an architectural brief for this project. This was to support future plans and funding applications related to tourism development in the community. This finalised report and brief were then submitted to the Mohill town team and Leitrim County Council.

Chris, Berlin Special Correspondent just chimed in with two VERY relevant and important comments concerning the state of the Berlin "Ideal Org" and how Gold goes about shooting videos based on his personal experience in Berlin.
The information seemed too important not to be made more broadly know with its own Posting.
Thanks Chris — we look forward to more excellent, factual information from you.
Mike Rinder
Berlin Ideal Org
I´ve been a staff in Berlin at the time of the opening of the "Ideal" (idealized) Org in 2007 and left the Church last year, in the meantime SP-declared.
The numbers of Joburg Org for me seem rather "good" numbers compared to what I know from Berlin:
Staff there was and is having less staff pay compared to Joburg. In 2007 it was about 20 € / week (~25 $). Summer 2012 there was no Staff pay at all for quite some months, sometimes you got your 1 or 2 €.
From 2008 – 2012 the average GI / week was about 3.500 € (~4.000 $).
For a long time there was an out-PR-sign at the elevator: "This elevator is only for the use of PCs and students" to remind also new staff that the electricity was far too expensive to also allow staff to use the elevator (6-level-building plus basement).
There were times when the phones were shut off, because of unpaid bills…
Some Staff were fare dodging to go to the allhands-book-stand, since no money. Some were stealing food from the canteen, so that HCO even had to install cameras. When even this didn´t work out, they had to install vending machines, in order to prevent further stealing.
Same as in Joburg green wogs were hired and not being told about the low wages – which put the recruits into personal danger sits.
The uniform problem – the same also here. You had to dry clean it – which was not done anymore because of the high costs. The uniforms of many staff members look terribly worn-out.
From 8 posted HGC auditors in 2007 there is one still left. Some of them blew straight, when they "got" it, some were needed in the Academy. Now the HGC is manned by one auditor, the Snr. C/S auditing and the Tech Sec auditing – in case one of the few left publics finds his way there.
Numbers of Staff are more or less the same like Joburg.
I cannot give too many details about Malmö (Sweden), but according to reports of people who had been on staff there, it doesn´t really differ.
Gold "Expansion Videos":
Regarding this article I just can add that it hasn´t been different over here in Europe.
In Berlin, soon after the opening of the "Ideal" (idealized) Org in 2007 Gold came over to take pictures of the Dianetics book sellers.
We had to go to the famous "Brandenburger Tor" in order to have a Berlin typical scenery. Since IN FACT we had only about 3 people you could have called FSMs or public booksellers, once in a while – all staff that was dispensable for some hours were ordered to go there to "fill" the picture. In order to not make it too obvious that those on the picture were not active public – like announced – we had to wear private/casual clothes or got a red Dianetics jacket over our Staff uniform. Additionally every tourist that was standing around watching the filming, was invited to join the filmed "Dianetics book sellers team", too. So we made a group of about 40 people.
This was the last time I´ve ever been happy about seeing expansion videos.
Later, when I met Staff of the Gold film team somewhere I asked them why they never shot "live" pictures, "real" photos. I always got a non-answer and was being told that there were "confidential" hatting materials from Ron, which would answer all my questions, which they couldn't show me. – Hidden data line.
I even wrote an RTC report about this a few years ago, mentioning that those actions were in fact pure lies – giving the idea that there was a big team, when there was in fact no public book sellers team at all. Of course I never got a reply on this.

If the hold-up volume (time) is the extra-column dead volume expressed in time or volume what is the column dead volume and how can it be calculated?
A question about column dead volume. If the hold-up volume (time) is the extra-column dead volume expressed in time or volume: What is the column dead volume and how can it be calculated?
Dead volume – Dead volume is extra volume experienced by solutes as they pass through the chromatographic system, in particular any unswept volume exposed to the mobile phase flow. Excessive dead volume causes additional peak broadening. Related to the hold-up volume, which is the volume of mobile phase necessary to elute and unretained compound (i.e. uracil). This should be minimized as we discussed previously by using the correct length and diameter of tubing, the correct fittings etc. The following page in CHROMacademy details how to measure column dead volume:
Minimizing System Volume
Hold-up volume (VM or V0):
The total volume of mobile phase in the column regardless of where it exists. In LC: The hold-up volume consists of the entire space accessible to a small molecule able to fully permeate all the pores of the packing material. It comprises the interstitial volume and the unoccupied pore volume. It is denoted as V
or V
. The system hold up volume includes the additional volume in the tubing used to connect the injector and detector to the column. The hold-up volume is usually approximated by injecting a small essentially unretained compound. In reversed phase HPLC uracil, acetone, and thiourea are most commonly used.
= hold-up time (also expressed as t
= column flow rate The void volume for the column is equivalent to 68% of its volume (i.e. the space between the packing material particles) and is given by:
Hold-up time (tM, t0):
The time required for an unretained compound to be eluted, or the time required for one column volume (V
) of mobile phase to pass through the column. In reversed phase HPLC uracil is often used to measure hold-up time and volume. Hold up time will then be used in the equation to determine retention factor of your compound which allows values to be essentially normalized between systems, as the hold-up time will be different for each HPLC system.
Two other important definitions that you are likely to encounter later on within CHROMacademy and other HPLC related texts are:
Dwell volume (VD):
In LC this refers to the volume between the point of mixing of solvents (usually in the mixing chamber or at the proportioning valves in the liquid chromatograph) and the head of the chromatographic column; this is important in gradient elution or when changes in solvent composition are made in isocratic elution so that the column experiences the composition change in the shortest possible time. Low-pressure mixing systems generally have larger dwell volume than high-pressure mixing systems. This is also important when transferring methods between different HPLC systems or transferring methods to fast HPLC conditions so that retention and resolution can be retained.
Dwell time (tD):
The time equivalent to dwell volume; determined by the product of flow rate times the dwell volume.
= gradient time

Reversed Phase HPLC for the Analysis of Biomolecules
November 15th 2016Biopharmaceuticals offer great hope in treating medical conditions which are currently poorly served, at best, by traditional pharmaceuticals. It is estimated that there are over 400 biopharmaceuticals in clinical trials for in excess of 200 disease areas. The enhanced complexity and variability that comes from the size of biopharmaceuticals, allied with the intricacy of the production process, mean chromatography is employed to a much greater extent during production and release testing. The following article will introduce the fundamentals of biopharmaceutical analysis and cover the use of reversed phase HPLC in the analysis of biomolecules. A subsequent article will detail the application of HILIC, IEX, and SEC chromatography for the analysis if biomolecules.

Lord knows what they've been sprinkling on their cornflakes, but the folks at LG have produced a truly bizarre four minute video to promote their Optimus G handset.
There's much mystical hand swirling and flamboyant arm flailing in store as the main character attempts to show off the phone's abilities.
Time speeds up and slows down like a night on ketamine, floating black cubes wobble about, phones appear magically suspended in mid air while captions tell us of the LG's "suave and precise look."
Here's the video:
If that slab of weirdness failed to give you much of an idea about the phone, we can tell you that the Optimus G weighs 5.1 oz and measures 5.1 in. by 2.7 in. by 0.3 in and features a 4.7-in. display with a resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels.
Inside there's a beefy Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor with a clock speed of 1.5GHz, and there's 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, along with a microSD slot and a pre-loaded 16GB SD card.
The high-capacity 2,100 mAh battery promises around 13 hours of talk time.

Michelle Ye's New Boyfriend is a History Professor
Seen at the airport this week with a new mysterious man, Michelle Ye (葉璇) is reportedly dating again. In February, Michelle broke off her relationship with Mainland stylist, Mr. Xiao Mo, and removed all photos of their dating photos on her social media accounts.
While some may think Michelle is still mending her heartbreak, it looks like the 37-year-old actress has already moved on with her new mystery man. Making an appearance at the Beijing airport, Michelle was seen accompanied by a man dressed in dark clothing. The alleged boyfriend even helped Michelle push her luggage bags, all the while chatting excitedly with the actress.
Sharp-eyed fans soon identified that the man photographed with Michelle is renowned Beijing history professor, Yuan Tengfei (袁騰飛). The two were already said to be seeing each other privately earlier this year. However, this airport appearance was the first time for them to be photographed in such a public place, leading fans to think that the couple is indirectly confirming their new budding romance.

Isn't it fun having close family and friends come together for a festive occasion? Women folk working in the kitchen preparing delicacies – mixing, stuffing, steaming, cooking and of course, gossiping. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed the weekend celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi.
Last year, I blogged Paala Undrallu. This Vinayaka Chavithi we prepared a different type of modak aka undrallu recipe. The filling for this particular undrallu is lightly sweetened with jaggery and grated coconut and makes for a healthy sweet.
Undrallu Recipe
Recipe source: Amma
Cooking Time: 30 mts
Cuisine: Andhra
1/2 cup rice flour
1 cup water
pinch of salt
1/4 cup grated jaggery
3 tbsps grated coconut
pinch of elachi pwd (cardamom)
1 Add salt and bring water to boil, add the rice flour and immediately cover it with a lid without stirring and reduce heat. Let it cook for a mt. Turn off heat and cool. Make small balls and keep aside.
2 In another vessel add the grated jaggery and grated coconut and stir for few mts. Add the elaichi pwd. The jaggery will begin to melt. Let it cook on low flame till it forms a thick mass. Turn off heat and cool. Make small gooseberry sized balls and keep aside.
3 Make a thin layer of the rolled rice flour balls and stuff with the jaggery-coconut balls and seal. You can shape it like a ball or modak.
4 Place in a vessel and steam for 10-11 mts like you would steam idlis. Cool.
Last year, I blogged Kudumulu prepared with broken rice aka biyyam rava. Uppu Kudumulu are savory steamed balls made from semolina aka sooji and yellow moong dal aka pesara pappu. Very simple to prepare and healthy.
Uppu Kudumulu Recipe
Recipe source: Amma
Cooking Time: 30 mts

Sephardic Synagogue Goes Entire Service without Argument
Members at Ohel Yosef were visibly shocked when a recent Sabbath service concluded without a single argument occurring during the two-hour plus time period. Arguments at Sephardic synagogues often occur during various parts of the service, from who will be called for an Aliya, to most commonly, what is done when special prayers are inserted during the service if there is a bar mitzvah, or the Sabbath coincides with another festival. Long time member Ofer Ben Ami had this to say, "If Roi not here, No problem!! De guy always want to say something about what to do. 'No no. You say dis only after read de Torah' . I tell you, de guy, he stupid!" Noam Ben Barak, owner of "Kyle's Auto Body" was also vocal about the arguments. "I tell you dis, every time, dees guys want to do something, I always say ask de Rabbi, but he young you know? He don want to make problem."
Ofer and Noam were not the only congregants to want to voice their frustrations. Every single male congregant lined up to voice his opinion upon hearing that a member of the press was there to do a story. Rabbi David Khadouri, newly hired this past July, was quick to point out that while arguments do occur in his synagogue, they are usually settled quickly, and even faster if Roi is not in attendance. He was however, quite surprised that even without Roi there, this past Sabbath went off without a hitch. "I was just sitting there, expecting someone to have a problem with something, and all of a sudden we were at the end of the service. I couldn't believe it. I mean, I know the guys like to blame Roi, but Shachar, Eli, Tomer, all those guys, they all start something usually."
Needless to say, the other men mentioned denied that they started any kind of arguments and said the rabbi is new and doesn't really know what he is talking about. Long time member Asaf Cohen had this to say, "Look, I'm a Cohen so as long as I get de first aliya, and dey don give to de guy who you know who I'm talking about, I don care what he give even if he rich guy, we don have problem." Many congregants point out that it is rare for there to actually be a Sabbath where there is not some kind of wrinkle in the service, and the fact that this past Sabbath was one of them may have contributed to the no argument situation. Rabbi Khadouri is more optimistic. "I just think the congregation is beginning to realize that we all get done faster if the arguments are kept to a minimum, if not completely avoided." Next week the Sabbath coincides with a bar mitzvah, and precedes Rosh Hashanah. The true test may just be then. No women could be reached for comment.

26 Dec Computers on the line
Driver's cab, passenger monitors, train-land communication interfaces or automatic door control: these are just a few examples of on-board systems in trains that need to communicate with each other to ensure smooth train operations. As a result, modern trains are becoming more and more high-performance computers on wheels, whose most important lifelines – the connecting cables between the individual electronic components and signalling devices – must pass through sharp edges and narrow transitions.
"If the cables are damaged, for example by continuous abrasion, short circuits can occur, which in the worst case can paralyse a critical system such as the brakes or cause a fire, " explains Meike Kurzak, Managing Partner of DTi GmbH. "But data loss or faulty signal control can also occur because of abrasion damage. In addition, these cables are laid in very confined spaces with very little play and are also sometimes subject to high vibration or temperature fluctuations. For this reason, the edges need to be passed through equipped with a special edge protection, which previously had to be applied with the use of adhesives in a time-consuming process. Especially in case of fire, the nylon grommets themselves which when combined with the adhesives can cause an increased toxic load and smoke development.
For this reason, an edge protection consisting of a particularly hard-wearing, non-flammable and steel-reinforced special thermoplastic, so that in the event of a fire it does not burn further or produce additional toxic smoke has been developed with a material which cannot dry out or become porous, even if it is exposed to extreme changes and temperatures.
Minimising potential hazards
The special composition of SL-FST from Idviutech makes it very resistant to these extreme temperature fluctuations. As a result, the edge protector can be attached to the train both inside and outside. Even the high vibrations occurring on high-speed lines can be absorbed by the special construction of a securely fitting steel core and resistant plastic.
DTi's engineers have used their experience from aviation to develop the SL-FST, as the material has to perform under extreme speeds, G-forces and vibration environments in aircraft. "As more and more high-speed lines are being laid for trains in Europe, this synergy was a logical step in the development process," Kurzak reports.
In particular, the performance of the material in contact with fire was a key factor in its adaptation to the European railway sector: "As many sections of track run through tunnels, fire safety requirements are particularly high in Europe," explains Kurzak. "We have therefore optimised the plastic so that in terms of flammability and toxicity it does not add to the smoke and fire development, as would be the case with a plastic that contains questionable additives or is attached with adhesives."
"In practice this means that in a fire the SL-FST will not support combustion, burn insignificantly, and will only produce a very small, insignificant amount of smoke. As a result, the material meets the strict requirements of DIN EN 45545-2 and is qualified for Hazard Levels 2 and 3, which are the highest material-technical requirements within the framework of this DIN."
The SL-FST castles lock automatically and provide strong edge retention. Nevertheless, the protection can be easily removed again. Since no adhesives are used, workers are no longer exposed to toxic chemicals (VOCs) and odours and do not have to wear gloves or masks when attaching the edge protection. "Adhesives and other solvents must be specially stored and disposed of and must be identified there by warning notices. Since the SL-FST installs completely without this, it is much more pleasant to work with and at the same time it becomes a very green alternative to what is being used now," concludes Kurzak.

Queensland imposes state border restrictions from midnight Wednesday due to coronavirus crisis
Another 78 cases of COVID-19 have been recorded in Queensland since Monday as travel restrictions are placed on the state's borders from midnight Wednesday.
Key points:
- Queensland's border will close from midnight on Wednesday with only freight and essential travel allowed
- Some residents who work on the other side of the border may be given stickers for their cars to indicate they're allowed to cross
- Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the police and government officials will be enforcing the shut down
Queensland now has a total of 397 cases, most of which are located in the south-east corner.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the state's border would only remain open to freight and essential travel after announcing the restrictions on border crossings.
Residents along the Tweed and southern Gold Coast reacted with anger and confusion when the announcement was made on Monday.
"Unless you're returning home to Queensland or coming to Queensland for an essential purpose like work or a medical appointment, or freight issues, then the border is closed to you," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"Let me make it very clear, Queenslanders should stay in Queensland, people in New South Wales should stay in New South Wales and people in Victoria should stay in Victoria.
"We do not want people coming to Queensland to have a holiday break. This is not holiday break season. This is the season to stay at home with your family.
"The chief medical officer has advised me there are serious health issues of people coming from other states to Queensland.
"Now, that is a big problem, because if we have people who are coming here, who have the coronavirus, we do not have the resources to spend on contact tracing all of those people and checking up on where they are staying under a 14-day so quarantine."
Queensland state disaster coordinator Steve Gollschewski said compassion would be shown but police had the power to fine and restrict access.
"If someone lives in the Tweed and works in Queensland, they will be allowed to come through," he said.
"If people choose to do the wrong thing, police always have the powers at their disposal to deal with poor behaviour.
"I think there's been publication around the fines that are for non-compliance with the directions under the Act."
'Nobody can sustain this'
Coolangatta cafe owner Debbie Newman lives less than a kilometre away from the border.
"It all feels quite surreal, there's changes by the hour," she said.
Ms Newman said while she had attempted to maintain the business through prepaid online sales and advertising on social media, the outlook was not good.
"I don't know how long this is going to impact us for but I would think that nobody would be able to sustain this."
The Palm Island Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) has also approved travel restrictions to the community from midnight on Wednesday.
"That means only people involved in the provision of essential services in the community, and people undertaking essential medical travel as provided by Queensland Health, will be allowed here," LDMG interim-Chair Deputy Mayor Roy Prior said in a statement.

Millions of investors are familiar with the concept of "dollar-cost averaging" – meaning that they buy a fixed dollar amount of something regularly over time regardless of share price.
[ad#Google Adsense 336×280-IA]Today I want to share a Total Wealth Tactic that can help you build bigger profits faster.
In case you are not familiar with the term "dollar-cost averaging," it's simply a means of accumulating investment assets by buying the same dollar amount of shares at some predetermined regular interval, regardless of the market price at that time.
Using this tactic ensures that you're always buying low when an opportunity arises.
I like it because buying more shares at lower prices and buying fewer shares at higher prices is a big win over time.
Doing so harnesses the natural ebb and flow of prices, which means that you'll wind up with higher profits down the line as a company matures and more investors pile in as the price goes up.
How It Works
This is an especially good tactic to use on stocks you might otherwise think are "too expensive" for your retirement – think Apple Inc. (NasdaqGS:AAPL), Alphabet Inc. (NasdaqGS:GOOGL), and Amazon.com Inc. (NasdaqGS:AMZN).
Imagine you automatically send $300 each month toward a stock, let's call it XYZ, for your retirement fund. It's April and shares of the stock are trading at $50 per share. Your automatic purchase of $300 worth translates into six shares:
$300 ÷ $50.00 = 6 Shares
In May, perhaps there is geopolitical tension that drives the stock down to $30. But, in sticking to your disciplined approach, you still devote $300 as planned. This time, your automatic $300 purchase translates into ten shares:
$300 ÷ $30.00 = 10 Shares
The following month, it trades at $46.15. You automatically devote another $300 and purchase 6.5 shares:
$300 ÷ $46.15 = 6.5 Shares
By July, let's say that there's a rally and the stock hits $54.50 per share. You automatically pick up another 5.5 shares:
$300 ÷ $54.50 = 5.5 Shares
After your July purchase, you're sitting on 28 shares for an average buying price of $42.85 per share. In total, you spent $1,200 ($300×4).
Now, consider if you had instead spent all that $1,200 in one go back in April.
$1,200 total investment ÷ $50.00 per share = 24 Shares
What I like about dollar-cost averaging it that it helps keep risks low yet returns high, because it prevents you from investing a single large amount at the wrong time… like now, for example, if you're one of millions of investors worried prices could drop further.
I'm also a big fan of the discipline dollar-cost averaging instills because it takes emotion out of the equation.
And finally, dollar-cost averaging forces you to buy more shares when prices are low, while fewer shares are purchased when prices are high. Over time, your basis – a fancy way of saying your total cost – actually drops and that, in turn, means you have that much more upside.
Here's an example…
Imagine investing $10,000 into Apple in September 2008.
You'd be sitting on 421 shares worth only $5,313 as of March, 3, 2009, when people thought the end of the financial universe was upon us.
Had you dollar-cost averaged in for three months starting that same September, though, your holdings would be sitting on 581 shares worth $7,333 on the same day. Both are losses and that's no fun.
Here's where it gets interesting – and very profitable.
Apple would have to rise only $4 per share for you to break even if you'd dollar-cost averaged in, versus needing gains of $11 per share for you to break even if you went all in.
More to the point, 12 months later you'd be sitting on profits of 37.98% because of dollar-cost averaging versus barely breaking even had you invested all at once.
I think that's a powerful and very compelling performance advantage that capitalizes on your skepticism yet keeps you in the game…
…even if stocks still have a ways to go before they find another bottom.
Now for the good stuff.
Value Averaging
Value averaging is a little different. Not many investors know about it which is too bad considering how valuable – pun absolutely intended – this Total Wealth Tactic is.
Dollar-cost averaging would have you invest $300 a month, but you might prefer to grow your portfolio by a fixed amount every month.
For discussion purposes, let's assume that you want to make your portfolio grow by $300 a month – every month.
In some months, you'd invest $300 just as with dollar-cost averaging. However, if the $300 you contributed last month lost a bit of ground and is now only worth $290, you'd contribute $310 next month to make up the difference.
In the months where you've made more than your target, you have the option not to contribute anything at all.
This simple twist first proposed by its creator, former Nasdaq Chief Economist and Harvard Business School Professor Michael E. Edleson, has been shown to produce better results over time than the conventional dollar-cost averaging method.
Edleson, who is now the Chief Risk Officer for the University of Chicago's endowment, relied on one crucial piece of information that was missing from the dollar-cost averaging method to come up with "value averaging." By considering a portfolio's expected rate of return [something that the dollar-cost averaging method neglects], the "value averaging" method helps to identify periods of over- and underperformance.
When the portfolio is underperforming, share prices are likely to be low. And that's when you'll be investing more to make up for the underperformance. When the portfolio is outperforming your target-rate return, share prices are likely to be high. That means it is not a good time to buy and you could even sell for a profit, provided you maintain your predetermined average growth rate.
Again… the herd gets it wrong but these Total Wealth Tactics will ensure you get it right.
"Value averaging" is a nice – and very easy – way to ensure you follow one of the most well-known investment mandates:
Buy low and sell high.
The method is particularly valuable during times of high volatility to help ensure investors maintain discipline in their investing.
