03/22/2019 By ABRAHAM REGUNTA
It was a regular working day. I was in my office grappling with a possible idea for my blog. As I was deep in thought Cheryl Broetje came to me and pointed out a little girl at the Café counter and asked me if I knew her. I told her that I was seeing her for the first time. Cheryl excitedly told me that she saw the little girl reading a quote of Albert Einstein placed on the wall in front of her office. She came out of her office and asked her to read it again. She said the little girl read it and then told her that she was aware of another famous quote by Albert Einstein. Amazed by the little girl's knowledge, Cheryl immediately checked out the accuracy of the quote made by the little girl. To her amazement the little girl had narrated the quote that reads, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
Equally amazed by the little girl's knowledge I decided to speak to her. She told me that she was 8 years old and her name was Darlene and studied in Grade 3. She was with her three siblings who all looked very excited. I asked Darlene if she knew the meaning of the quote about the fish. She just smiled at me. Then she said that she did not understand the complete meaning but had learnt about it from her friend at school. I told her that a fish will find itself uncomfortable and struggle to survive if it were put on a tree because it is meant to be in water where it swims and thrives. Just the same we as humans are blessed with unique gifts and we should use those gifts to our strength and make a positive impact in our communities. I gave Darlene and her siblings a few examples and they did not waste time to tell me what they would love to do.
Darlene and her siblings were so well mannered. They spoke to me with a smile on their faces all the time. I have always believed that a child's life is first shaped at his/her home with the family, after which comes the school they attend and then the community where they live. Darlene told me that she loves the community of Tierra Vida. She described it as a community that shares and lives together in harmony and peace. Darlene is a lovely little girl being raised at home under the watchful eyes of her parents, she also seems to be surrounded by peers at school who are impacting her personality positively, and finally she lives in a community that gives her the love and affection that is helping her to grow with the right values. I believe these are all factors that are beautifully combining together for Darlene as she grows up to inspire many other kids like her.

Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Office 2007, along with other products (like Internet Explorer 7, which was released before Vista) offer a variety of new features potentially useful to the trusts and estates practitioner. There's independent calendaring and address book facilities, personal database software, handy informational gadgets and better web browsing.
At the same time, this software requires significant learning curves and has some technical problems.
Let's take a look at what we might immediately gain from these releases and let the information technology people worry about what's under the hood. But, if you just can't help wondering about the issues and problems that accompany Vista as a new Microsoft operating system, check out the discussions at Vistahunt.com.
My first impression of Windows Vista was that it is more difficult than Windows XP and takes longer to work with. But maybe that's because we usually love the software we've been using and hate learning "new" software. Beyond user resistance, there is this critical question: If you bother to upgrade to Vista (and other Microsoft 2007 software) or acquire a Vista-ready machine (and there are some real bargains out there), what can it do for you right now?
First, you must make sure, as with any Microsoft operating system upgrade, that your favorite software and peripherals are compatible with Vista. For instance, drivers for various peripherals may not be. If you use a Hewlett-Packard printer, be sure to check for upgraded Vista-compatible drivers. As of the release of Vista, WordPerfect was not yet Vista-ready, but on March 9, 2007, Corel Corp. announced the availability of a Service Pack to make Office X3 compatible with Vista. Another example of compatibility issues is Intuit Quickbooks. As discussed at ZDNet, Quickbooks compatibility issues appear to stem from third-party add-on software that Intuit cannot control.
If a program fails to launch because of compatibility problems, right click on the icon for that program and open the "Compatibility" tab. You will find a drop-down box that lets you set the program so Vista will attempt to run it by emulating earlier operating systems.
Vista Gadgets
Not everything useful has to be groundbreaking. There are some facilities in Vista that may seem small in scope, but may fill a valuable role in your daily computer use.
You will find on the right-hand side of the Vista desktop a vertically placed series of small utilities called "gadgets." Vista provides a selection of visible gadgets that can be added or changed with a click on the gadget area of your desktop. These gadgets include a visual monthly calendar, a convenient yellow sticky-like note pad (much handier than the Outlook Note Pad) and even a stock price ticker (a nice feature on up days, but not so nice on others.) If you are like me and are really attached to having an outside temperature gauge in your car, you will appreciate an outside temperature display on your desktop.
You will find lots of other gadgets to download at microsoftgadgets.com/, such as the TravelWizard, which expedites searches of travel planning websites, and WeatherBug, which gives you weather conditions anywhere in the world.
Other Vista Features
Microsoft has unbundled some of the things included in Outlook and Windows Mail (the successor to Outlook Express), such as the calendar and address book. Windows Calendar has the look and feel of the Outlook calendar, but is free standing and convenient to use. Windows Calendar may be emailed to another party -- from within the program or calendars -- and may be shared among remote users via the Internet. You also may subscribe to specialized calendars on the Internet, such as iCalshare. Such calendars include holidays in the United States and foreign countries, political and government events and astronomical data.
Windows Contacts has the look and feel of the address book included in Outlook Express and, although free standing, it is used as the contacts list for Windows Mail. It reminds me, in terms of desktop convenience, of the neat virtual rolodex that was included in Windows 1.0.
For those of you who are not Outlook users, these small programs may be quite useful.
A Handy Personal Database
We could all use a simple database for storage and retrieval of personal notes, information, graphics, etc. OneNote 2007 (part of Office 2007) is one such program that gives you immediate visual access to the items that you have stored through general categories (known as "notebooks") and subdivisions within such categories (known as "sections.") OneNote now has a navigation aid that conveniently shows you the open notebooks and makes navigation across multiple notebooks easy. You can move between open notebooks by clicking on a notebook icon. Across the top of the workspace are tabs associated with sections within a notebook. You merely click the arrow at the top of the navigation pane to expand the view and show more detail about notebooks and their sections. You can store and retrieve text, Internet URLs and graphics by copying and pasting them into the appropriate section.
You may download specialized notebooks linked to, or from, the "Help file," including a "Legal Practice" notebook, which may assist you in getting quick value from OneNote. One interesting feature is the ability to capture and paste a portion of any screen being displayed on your computer into a notebook. Use of OneNote is described on the Microsoft website at Organizing and managing your notes.
Internet Explorer 7
Also deserving of mention is Internet Explorer 7, which offers new features that may be helpful to the trusts and estates practitioner. Perhaps the most useful is its tabbed websites. Now you can have a number of websites displayed on a series of tabs at the top of the screen and move back and forth among them with one click. I find this feature particularly helpful in research; I can have the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, Tax Court cases and other federal court sites all displayed at once, allowing me to bounce around as I compose an article or memorandum. With Internet Explorer 7, you can save a number of open websites as a favorite group. There also is a feature that automatically shrinks a web page to fit the printed page and enables you to print selections from a web page.
Tips and Tricks
There are a number of websites that will help you get quickly acquainted with useful new features. An overview of Vista Tips and Tricks for new users is available from Microsoft. It discusses, among other things, the revised start menu, the new interface and the file search explorer facility, as well as the enhanced browsing capabilities of Internet Explorer 7.
The TechRepublic website offers Hidden Vista tricks that can make you more productive, including how to work more efficiently using the special Windows keyboard keys and the mouse wheel.
RedmondMag.com gives you the Top 5 Cool Vista Tricks, including using the backup tool, sharing calendars and checking your computer's performance.
The Petri IT Knowledgebase Windows Vista Information, Tweaking, Tips and Tricks contains a collection of tweaking tips and tricks, articles and "how to" guides.
Bottom Line
Learning Vista does not have to be like climbing Mount Everest. Ideally, it should simplify daily tasks. Sometimes it pays to spend time at your base camp doing the easy stuff before attempting the more challenging climb. Immediate gratification helps all of us stay motivated for tougher times.

June 27, 2018 by David A. Brown
At 43,100 surface acres, Pickwick Lake offers lots of fishing area, but when the 2018 TBF/FLW Student Angler Federation High School Fishing National Championship, held in conjunction with the 2018 High School Fishing World Finals, sends 384 teams into competition, even this Tennessee River powerhouse might seem rather small.
"The fishing pressure from this tournament, plus the locals, will become a big factor," says Walker Brown, who partnered with Jon David Bedford to win last year's World Finals championship for Tennessee's Lawrence County High School.
The duo once again teams up with boat captain Sloan Pennington to compete for the National Championship's first-place prize – a $10,000 scholarship – and their share of more than $140,000 in scholarships and prizes at the World Finals. Top boat captains will receive merchandise prizes such as fish finders and trolling motors.
About the fishery
Created by Pickwick Landing Dam as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the lake features a mix of sand, gravel and rock bottom. With an average depth of 21 feet (maximum 59), the lake stretches 53 miles from Pickwick Landing Dam to Wilson Dam. Notably, competitors are permitted to lock into Wilson Lake, thereby expanding the playing field by another 9,045 acres.
This week's combined events most likely will be decided on the ledges, but there's also shoreline wood, docks and big flats – as well as the usual rocky stuff around the dam. Shady bluff walls and the bridges could also play as the field starts churning over known community holes.
Most agree that Pickwick's lower end is most productive this time of year, as it holds more of the typical ledge structure. Also, the farther up the lake, the less impact the current has on the fishing.
Current conditions
In recent days, Pickwick has been fluctuating between 413.75 and 414.22 feet. Normal pool is 414, so the lake is right about where it should be for late June.
The TVA's power generation schedule for Pickwick has seen overnight lows of about 30,500 cubic feet per second (cfs), with afternoons seeing peaks of around 49,000 cfs. The average outflow is expected to remain steady with about 41,000 cfs.
"The water is really clear right now because of the [invasive] zebra mussels; it's the clearest I've seen it in a while," says Cort Walker, who teams with Lawson Tilghman for Tennessee's Hardt County High School. "It makes it harder to fish than it has been in the past, just because of the clarity and the amount of pressure that's been on the fish."
Tactics in play
Committing their week to Pickwick, Brown and Bedford say they're planning on cranking ledges in 20-plus feet of water in hopes of latching onto some better fish.
"During practice, we didn't get many bites, and we're banking on three spots, but we don't know if they'll be there on day one," Bedford notes. "That's the thing this time of year; it's hard. Our fish aren't stacked like they have been. We'll just try to run a pattern throughout the day."
"Fishing clean will be the big difference this week," adds Brown. "The bites you get – you'd better take advantage of them."
Walker agrees and says that slower presentations with drop-shot rigs might become one of the more productive patterns, especially as the week progresses. He and his partner will mostly target the offshore contours.
"There are so many fish on the ledges," Tilghman says. "There's definitely going to be a good ledge bite, but there are definitely some fish that have moved up. There are bluff walls and secondary points in the backs of creeks where you can go through and get a limit."
Crankbaits, football jigs, swimbaits, big Texas-rigged worms and Carolina rigs will likely produce ledge bites, while shaky heads, spinnerbaits and wacky rigs could tempt the shallower fish.
Critical factors
1. Weather – With daytime highs predicted to be in the mid-90s and perhaps higher, hydration and wearing sun-protective clothing or applying heavy doses of sunscreen will be necessary to grind out the conditions.
"The wind got up to about 10 to 15 mph, and that helped us out a lot in practice, but when it's not blowing, it's really hot," Bedford observes.
Anglers will fish under partly cloudy skies in the mornings, with a good chance of afternoon thundershowers.
2. Current – As Brown notes, Pickwick usually offers a good morning bite, but the day's second half is likely to offer the best opportunities for bigger bites, as the afternoon brings greater current flow, based largely on increasing residential power usage.
3. Fishing pressure – "With so many people on the water, you're going to have to be able to get on your fish," Walker notes. "Avoiding having other boaters getting on top of your fish is another thing that'll be important. You'll have to be able to fish on certain spots, and, if not, you'll have to be able to adjust."
4. Smallmouths – Walker says he expects largemouths to dominate, but Pickwick's legit smallmouth population can't be overlooked. The lake sits at the southern boundary of smallmouth range and is also home to plenty of threadfin and gizzard shad. The South's longer growing season, complemented by an abundant food source, often turns out feisty footballs of up to 5 pounds.
Dock talk
Noting that 5-pounders will be day-makers this week, Brown says he's expecting the National Championship to be won with a three-day total of 61 pounds.
"If you have 13 to 15 pounds a day, you're going to make it to the last day," Tilghman says. "There's a lot of boat traffic out there, and it's making the fish real skittish. It's tough to get them to bite. They've seen about every lure there is."
Tournament details
Dates: June 27-30, 2018
Format: The championships (details here) begin on Wednesday with two days of full-field competition for both events. The National Championship field is cut to the top 10 for day three, which is the final round of that tournament, and the winner is determined by heaviest three-day cumulative weight on Friday. Each member of the winning team receives a $5,000 scholarship to the school of his or her choice, and all 10 finalists automatically advance to Saturday's final round of the World Finals.
The World Finals field is cut after two days to the top two teams from each state. Those anglers compete on Friday (when weights are zeroed) in the semi-final round.
Any teams that missed the cut in the National Championship or World Finals will compete on Friday in a separate second-chance round for a shot at making it back into the World Finals competition on Saturday.
Saturday's field will consist of the 10 National Championship finalists, the top 10 teams from Friday's semi-final round, and the next 10 teams (highest day-three weight) from the semi-final round and second-chance rounds combined. A Friday night pizza party will include a Lucky Dog Last Chance Wildcard drawing for one team, not already qualified, to compete on day four – bringing the total to 31 teams. Weights are zeroed on the last day, and the World Finals winners are determined by the heaviest catch.
Takeoff time: 5:30 a.m. CT
Takeoff location: McFarland Park, 200 Jim Spain Drive, Florence, AL 35630
Weigh-in time: 1:30 p.m. CT
Weigh-in location: McFarland Park, 200 Jim Spain Drive, Florence, AL 35630

Lincolnshire Community and Life
October 1, 2012
Sponsored by McKinnells Solicitors
For the second year Carre Gallery presents an exhibition with the broad theme of Lincolnshire community and life. This year has again attracted exhibits in a variety of media and styles depicting a broad slice of this popular theme. This includes textiles, oils, acrylic, pencil, linocut, watercolour and photography. Subjects range from light-hearted to serious with images of people relaxing, working and surviving.
Gallery Director Christopher Hodgson says, "It's a pleasure to see a wide range of interpretations of 'Lincolnshire Community and Life' and we are extremely grateful to McKinnells for supporting this locally-themed event."
Martin Page's 'Seaside' is a quirky study of summer activities at the Lincolnshire coast. Martin explains, 'the painting has elements of Mablethorpe and Skegness." A casual viewing will give the essence of the subject but closer inspection reveals a host of individuals enjoying different activities – building sandcastles, flying kites surfing and snorkeling. Any fan of the VW camper van will notice two distinct models of the classic traveller. Says Martin, "I researched them in some depth to ensure the details were correct."
Robin Hall's 'Passing Time in Sleaford' is a beautifully observed study of a group of senior gentlemen relaxing on a bench, while Frank Emonds shows a slice of village life with photographs of a local village fete.
This is just a small taster of the artwork on display. Come along to see for yourself and vote for your favourite piece in our 'People's Choice' ballot.
Exhibiting artists: Martin Page, Peter Hayward, Rosalyn Mulhern, Baz East, Ann Mackenzie, Louise Stebbing, Carol Bratley, Robin Gooch, Muriel Elliott, Laura-Jane Luff, Jennifer Cottis, Robin Hall, Phil Janes, Frank Emonds, Anne Dolan, Martin Cameron.
The exhibition is open 10 am – 4 pm Monday to Saturday until 13 October.
Carre Gallery would like to thank McKinnells Solicitors for their generous support in sponsoring this exhibition.
UPDATE: People's Choice.
The People's Choice (voted for by gallery visitors) was awarded to Drying Nets – Boston Docs by Jennifer Cottis. John Roper from McKinnells Solicitors presented Jennifer with her certificate and prize at the Carre Gallery.Photography by Martin Cameron

Currency Creek Estate – Currency Creek, SA
Winery Road, Currency Creek, SA, 5214
It has been nearly 18 months since our lounge room floor was graced with the presence of Steve – and it was he who suggested that my next coffee review should be out at Currency Creek – a place, where earlier that day we have been doing some wine tasting, while on our 'welcome to region – we have been here less than a month – wine tasting and thai food tour – with Steve who was the only Minister from CoC who welcomed us to SA when we moved' – we were going to get T-Shirts printed, but the titled went round it twice. Any Who – in the need to get my first assignment piece done for this seventh to last unit on my second Master's degree done – I took a study day just to read and drink coffee, and ended up out at Currency Creek. They have been promoting their 'coffee and cake' service via a sign on the Strath to Goolwa road since we have been down here, so I was surprised – when you consider I couldn't get a park in the car park, to discover that I was the only person there for coffee (it was a Tuesday afternoon) – but there was a great deal of laughter coming from the wine tasting area. The staff was very friendly – there was only one – a very friendly woman who looked after my coffee needs, whilst also lubricating the tourists with the best of what Currency Creek Winery has to offer. I took my seat – all alone with a view of the lush green grass which rolled its way down the hill towards the creek known for its Currency. Unless you want to die from a sugar induced coma – don't try 'Caramel Sin' – oh, man!
Latte Quality – Good – Excellent. I was a bit dubious considering all the tasks that she had to perform – but it was good.
Cost – $3.50 – for a large latte glass
Coffee Supplier – Andronicus – I know – aka Nestle – yuck.
Fair Trade – Nope – did I mention it was Nestle?
Venue Suitable for:
- Quiet Chat/Deep and Meaningful/Study and Reflection – Absolutely – I was pretty much all alone in a great big room – which had the potential for a roaring fire in its centre – the only down side was that being the only person there, the music had no where to go but to me – so the Michael Buble which was followed by Guy Sebastian – kind of sucked, but I worked through it. Of course every time I hear Buble sing "I did it my way' – I can't help but associate that with Roxburgh's "Missional Change Model"

When cleaning liquid spills, you need to control the flow of the liquid so that it is easier to contain. These REMCO spill response squeegees are perfect for that.
Designed to control and direct liquid spills, these polyethylene squeegees are ideal to handle hazardous material cleanup. With the liquid easily directed towards the absorbents or spill control dikes, the cleanup job will turn out to be hardly a difficult one.
The squeegees are made of tough high-density polyethylene and flexible low-density polyethylene for the blade. The blade functions as fast and efficient cleaning tool with its curve model. There is also detachable fiberglass handle that threads on and off quickly for cleaning and storage. With the built-in hook eye on the handle, the squeegees are also very convenient to store.
These squeegees are differentiated by the handle types, namely the bench handle and the floor handle. Then each is divided into a few more categories based on the sizes.

Under the Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha, Albania broke with all its communist allies - first Yugoslavia, then the Soviet Union and in the 1970s, with its final sponsor, China. The extreme isolation the country then pursued meant that it was less affected by political shifts elsewhere. So when the 1989 revolutions took place all over eastern Europe, Albania under Hoxha's successor, Ramiz Alia, proclaimed it had no intention of following the trend.
For a year after the fall of the Berlin wall, Albania's Party of Labour and its brutal secret police, the sigurimi, continued to tyrannise their people. In spring 1990, Pashko stated Albania's economy could no longer sustain itself. Resembling little more than an economic rust bucket, production levels and productivity was collapsing as the Albanian economy headed towards significant negative growth.
Together with Albania's current prime minister, Sali Berisha, Pashko founded the Democratic party, the first independent political party in the country since the mid-1940s. Berisha is a Muslim from the north of the country, but Pashko came from a Greek Orthodox Christian family from the south. This was not a calculated move, but it helped create a countrywide constituency for the party.
In the capital Tirana and in the southern port of Vlore, which Pashko represented as an MP, he became a familiar and persuasive orator at rallies which were extraordinary events for Albanians. Unlike most other east European countries, there was no tradition of dissent in a country where it was estimated that a quarter of the population had passed through its prison system for actual or imagined political crimes.
Born in Tirana, Pashko was the grandson of the patriarch of the Albanian Orthodox Church. With his fluent English and his knowledge of political and economic debates in the west, Pashko also played an important role in garnering international support for the Albanian revolution. As an Orthodox - who make up 20% of the population - he was especially effective in convincing Greece, which harboured fears about the democratic transformation of its northern neighbour, to welcome the democratic changes.
In 1991 when the Democratic party won the country's first democratic elections, Pashko was appointed deputy prime minister and economics minister under Berisha. An advocate of shock therapy, he was none the less taken aback by the extent of the country's economic ruin. He addressed the transition of Albania to a market economy with gusto despite encountering social and political problems. The country's industrial failure culminated in a breakdown of law and order in 1997 following a huge pyramid banking scheme scandal.
By this time, Pashko had long left the government, breaking with Berisha over the latter's authoritarian style. However, he was responsible for laying the foundations of a stable economy which is finally beginning to bear fruit today.
Following his stint in government, he held academic posts in Scotland, the US, Italy and Greece. In 2000, he was appointed director of New York University in Tirana where he nurtured a new generation of Albanian scholars.
Pashko was flying to Italy for treatment after he went into a coma following a swimming accident. The tragedy was even greater for the family as his son, Ruben, 24, was accompanying him on the trip and also died.
Pashko is remembered with enormous affection in Albania as a colourful and animated figure. Marvellous company, a raconteur of real quality - especially after a glass or two of his favourite drink, whiskey - Gramoz was among my closest friends in Albania, a man who managed to remain optimistic even in those most appalling circumstances. Throughout the vicissitudes of the Albanian revolution, he was supported unstintingly by his beloved wife, Mimoza, and his daughter Flonia who both survive him.
· Gramoz Pashko, academic and politician, born February 11 1955; died July 16 2006

As our loyal readers know well, db's December issue always contains a list of the world's 100 most powerful fine wine brands, ranked by Liv-ex according to a range of measures, from the volume of wine traded in the past 12 months to the price movement during the same period (see methodology at the end of this article). It's a compelling survey, not just because there are always new entrants in the rankings, but because the prevailing trends in the secondary market can be drawn from the movement up and down the table of the most famous names in the wine business.
In essence, by measuring brand power, this annual list clearly shows what's in vogue – then it's up to us to find out why.
Last year's theme was the comeback of Bordeaux, boosted by the Brexit vote, because sterling's devaluation encouraged buyers outside of the UK to snap up blue-chip cru classé châteaux from London merchants at a discount. 2016 was also the year when one could really see a broadening of the market taking place – with Liv-ex trading more wines than ever before. In short, it was a year when two seemingly opposing developments were occurring: while there was heightened focus on the classic, established big Bordeaux brands, there was also a rising demand for the first-growth equivalents from the likes of Tuscany, Piedmont and Champagne –labels that were once overlooked by the new buyers in Asia, or the speculative investors in Europe and the US.
While the latter trend has continued, attesting to a maturing fine wine drinker in the fast-developing Asian market, the overriding regional focus has shifted from claret to the Côte d'Or – 2017's Liv-ex Power 100 is characterised by the call, whatever the cost, for Burgundy's great reds, and, significantly, its whites too.
So, while last year's top 20 contained two brands from this part of the fine wine world, in 2017 that number has more than doubled to total five. As for the entire table, 2016 featured 19 names from Burgundy, and this year there were 24. Not only that, but as many as 22 of the top 50 biggest price risers were from this region, proving that the demand for Burgundy is outstripping supply.
However, the most conclusive evidence of Burgundy's gain at Bordeaux's expense comes in the results for 2017 concerning the percentage of trade on Liv-ex by value. As the table on page 42 shows, Bordeaux is now at its lowest share of secondary market business through the fine wine exchange since we began running this survey in 2004, while Burgundy is at its highest. Nevertheless, with 68.6% of the market, Bordeaux is still by far the biggest fine wine region in terms of trade. The second-largest, Burgundy, represents just 12% of the secondary market, although that's up from 7.7% last year. Bordeaux, in contrast, has dropped by 6%.
"Burgundy is the theme of this year," says Liv-ex director Justin Gibbs, adding that the biggest movers up the survey – Prieure Roch, Francois Lamarche and Guy Roulot "came from nowhere". In other words, these names didn't even qualify for power brand status in previous surveys (to even be considered for the top 100 a fine wine has to have traded at least three vintages with a total value surpassing £10,000). And, as mentioned above, 22 of the top 50 highest risers were from the Côte d'Or, with, in first place, Georges Roumier, which is up by 34% in price over the past 12 months. "Burgundy has really been the kicker this year," continues Gibbs, saying there was a "scramble" for the wines in a range of vintages, and "not just the latest releases".
Furthermore, while the rise of Burgundy, led by wines from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, has been certainly been observed in past surveys, the beneficiaries historically have been the red wines of the region. In 2017, some of the top performers are white wines. "Leflaive, Guy Roulot, Coche Dury, Etienne Sauzet, Raveneau… there is a big story in white Burgundy; it is back," says Gibbs, adding that the 2014 harvest in this region produced some of the greatest white Burgundies ever made. He adds that, for example, Roulet Meursault from this vintage has seen a price rise of 50% since its release. Confirming such a trend, Will Hargrove, Corney & Barrow's head of fine wine, says: "The surge of Burgundy's popularity has continued strongly, with demand across the range and many wines oversubscribed at release – and this is the case for both reds and whites." It's a development observed by Simon Staples at Berry Bros & Rudd too, who says: "Burgundy romps onwards, ever onwards, with a 28%increase, thanks to a very successful en primeur campaign, but mainly because of huge trade in secondary-market Rousseau, DRC, Roumier, Mugnier, and Grivot."
It's also worth mentioning as further proof that Burgundy is hot at the moment that some major acquisitions have taken place in 2017, notably by American billionaire Stan Kroenke, owner of Screaming Eagle, who took a majority share in Bonneau du Martray at the start of the year, and Château Latour owner François Pinault, who, in October, acquired Clos de Tart, which adjoins Clos des Lambrays – another property that recently changed hands, with LVMH buying it in 2014.
Explaining the reason for such Burgundy fervor, Gibbs looks to the evolving Asian fine wine market. "The Chinese buyer wants to be seen as more sophisticated…anyone can pull out a bottle of Margaux, but how many can do the same with Rousseau?" he asks, suggesting that top-end Burgundy is now considered the more refined choice among the collectors of mainland China. But it's also a question of taste. "The Chinese are discovering that Burgundy is far more approachable when it's young; you don't have to wait 20 years to drink it [as you might with cru classé claret], and they are quite impatient: they want to buy it now and enjoy it now," he says. "And if you add to that the lack of supply, you have the perfect storm."
He stresses that the surge in popularity for the top names in Burgundy hails entirely from Asia, even if the buyers of the great growers on first release are British. "It reminds me of the days when Lafite reached £12,000 a case [on the secondary market] – no-one in Europe or the US was buying it at that price; it was all going to Asia. Burgundy feels the same. European buyers are taking their allocation and, as soon as they can, they flip it, and it's not being sold to another Englishman, it's going to Asia."
Nevertheless, prices are getting a touch "toppy", worries Gibbs, particularly among the lesser wines. "Grand and Premier Cru Burgundy has been a sell-out for the past two years, but the village wines are becoming stickier; they are now too expensive," he says.
Before considering last year's performance of Bordeaux in more detail, it's important to look at the other major positive development of 2017, the widening of fine wine demand to new regions and producers.

The JUMBO Seat helps supports the back and the photos & video shows him sitting upright on his own. 🙂 YAY!!
When he was little we tried putting him in one before, but he just couldn't fit into it, now leaner and thinner … he fits into it pretty well.
Nathanael's therapist puts a blue table in front of him and gives him further stimulation with toys that makes differnt sounds when a button is depressed.
Here's a Video of Nathanael in the JUMBO Chair.

The Nancy Druids pic by Tim Lewis
I had a great time seeing music last Wednesday at Radio Bean. I arrived a few minutes before the 10pm show and hung out and chatted a bit. It was not a long wait then the The Nancy Druids hit the stage with a shimmering rock haze. They settled in and rocked out a cool version of Sky. It was one of the first chilly evenings of the fall so December had a perfect feel and sounded so great. They rocked hard on Halo and Ann Mindell hammered out that massive drum part. They sang about the way things might have been then sang a luscious bucolic song about walking through a park and feeling fine. They played a brilliant version of By Design then rocked out the new song Salvation. Just Another Day had a nice stomp and some wicked feedback drenched lead guitar work. Sign had a nice bounce to it and was so catchy I found myself singing it for the the next day or two. They played another new song with a shimmering guitar over a rhythmic stomp and may have been about a bitter taste. Falling just made my heart soar then I Can't Remember Who You Were rocked hard. Since You Left Me has a pleasant pop feel with plenty of rock muscle then they lit up the room with The Space Between. They had made a casual reference, earlier in the evening, to a well know rock song, but I thought they were just kidding. They brought up a guy named Lucas to sing a couple and as the band started the slow intro I realized that they were really going to do Sweet Emotion. They made it sound great as Sean, John, and Lucas surrounded the mic to sing the title part. They followed with Blitzkrieg Bop and it was great. I thought that was the end and Lucas left the stage but the Druids stayed for one more and played a cool version of The Ghost In You.
I said a couple of quick goodbyes, then took the cold and happy walk home. It's so great to be able to walk such a short distance and see such great music.

IMO, there is nothing tone-deaf or at odds with the First Amendment in stating: "They can do free speech on their own time."
MOST employees must "do free speech on their own time." Many employee handbooks require employees to forego any political symbols or signaling. Even the NFL has codes of personal conduct, with published schedules of infractions and fines (which benefit retired athletes). One article found online states that $4million per year is collected in fines.
While not standing in defense of Trump's comments, describing him as calling on NFL owners to fire players is not what factually occurred; Trump was not speaking to NFL owners but rather addressing his remarks to NFL fans.

I have terrible eyesight, a below-average ability to identify flavors ("oh, very dry," I say of all wines, uncertain of any other descriptors), satisfactory yet selective hearing, and transient paresthesia in my legs from years of wearing skintight jeans during key developmental stages. Directly resulting—or so I'm convinced—from the inadequacy of four out of five of my senses is my excellent sense of smell, and so too my love of fragrance. I'm equipped to appreciate the nuances of scent, which is a small consolation for being so bad at most other things.
And so I hoard expensive perfumes, layer fragrances like a pro, stop and smell the flowers whenever possible, and can smell rain in the air before it comes as well as differentiate the smell of fresh pizza from reheated. This extreme sensitivity comes in handy, like when my boyfriend suggests that something may be burning and I'm able to confirm that it is not an electrical fire but rather just the smell the flat iron makes when it's heating up, and also not so handy, like when I go to use a new bronzer and have to rule it out immediately based on the overpowering scent. Womp.
This shouldn't happen. Skin care frequently, understandably, carries some kind of fragrance, and that I can do, so long as it's powered by essential oils or extracts and not made in a beaker. But when I open a powder compact and am immediately hit with a waft of perfume, or squeeze out some foundation onto the back of my hand and find myself suddenly overcome with the smell of artificial roses, I'm out on principle.
MORE: The Great (Though Largely Unsuccessful) Aphrodisiac Perfume Experiment
My personal conviction: It's inconsiderate, I think, even an affront, to produce something you ostensibly want people to purchase and wear and then make it smell. It's not just that it's unnecessary; it's also that most artificial fragrances, when applied to the skin, can be wildly irritating. Perfume in makeup is the stuff breakouts and irritation are made of, which is exactly why most products marketed as safe for sensitive skin are also fragrance-free. I want all makeup to be fragrance-free, not smelling of peanut butter and jelly or its own "unique fragrance," the "legendary scent" of "character and mystery" that plagues a bronzer I adore but that forces me to hold my breath during the application process. I do not understand why anyone would think this is a good idea in the first place.
"Fragrances are usually added to cosmetics for one of two reasons," cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson of BeautyStat told me, by way of an explanation. "The first is to mask the odor of an unpleasant-smelling ingredient in the product, and the second is to make the product smell appealing for the customer, to make for a more pleasing experience." Neither of these answers satisfies me—in fact, they raise more questions. What are they putting in makeup that smells so bad? Who actually finds a blush that smells like laboratory-made lavender more appealing than one that doesn't smell at all?
Characteristically, I want answers that I'm not going to get—answers that are in my favor. I want everyone to agree with me and call for the end of scented makeup altogether, but the fact remains that consumers like it, and as long as consumers like it, brands will continue to do it. And if I really wanted to make a difference, to start a movement, I'd do it myself, and you'd see me on one of those morning talk-show specials about entrepreneurial women who noticed a gap in the market—"so she did something about it, and now she sold the company for two billion dollars!" Which sounds like a lot of effort, so I'll probably just keep holding my breath while I apply bronzer instead.

Frankie Manning says of his longtime friend Willa Mae Ricker, "She was one of the greats of Lindy Hop... She was the soul and heart of the dance". He specifically notes her skill in doing all of the aerials, and her physical strength "to hold men up so they could shine".
Although Willa Mae and her husband Lindy Hopper Billy Ricker were high school sweethearts and enjoyed a long and healthy marriage, they rarely danced together professionally. She partnered Leon James, Al Minns, Frankie Manning, Russell Williams and others. She won the first Harvest Moon Ball with Leon James in 1935.
When Willa Mae died of cancer in the sixties, the romance had still not left her marriage to Billy, she never stopped dancing, and never lost the sweet disposition that made her the most beloved of the Lindy Hoppers.

GUARDI, Francesco
The Rialto Bridge
Date : 1760 après
Designation : tableau
Field : Peinture

Guardi was a good painter of religious paintings at his brother's workshop when he realised that there was an international market for the veduta, the urban view of Venice. He brought his more lyrical, warmer personal touch to the development of the genre stamped with the more analytical approach of Canaletto. The Rialto bridge was one of his favourite motifs and he addressed it at least fifteen times. Each version is however unique and is distinguishable by the point of view or by the intensity of the light. This piece is a masterpiece of precision and poetry, acquired by the nephew of Cardinal de Bernis. The bustle of city life is sublimed by the virtuoso sensitivity of the painter's brush.

Once we have confirmation that the funds have been moved at the brokerage, we will begin the transfer process with our banks to disperse the funds.
Withdrawals are generally dispersed to the trader within seven (7) business days, however, as a result of an increase in new Topstep Funded Traders and withdrawals, it can take up to fourteen (14) business days to complete some withdrawals.
We can process withdrawals using the following methods:
- Checks: We can send any trader a paper check in the mail for the amount requested. Checks sent outside the US will likely take significantly longer than 7 business days, and we do not provide an estimated delivery date for physical mail.
- ACH Wire: Bank wire available for traders with a US-based bank account (the trader does not need to be a US resident). There is no transfer fee for ACH wires.
- Standard Bank Wire: Bank wire available for traders with banks based outside the US. Traders living outside the US must submit their bank information using SWIFT format to ensure a successful transfer of funds. For standard wire transfers under $500, a $50 transaction fee will be applied. There is no transfer fee for wire transfers over $500. The standard wire is the quickest and efficient method available to make withdrawals for traders outside the US.
We are unable to process withdrawals via PayPal, and we cannot transfer funds from the Funded Account to a personal trading account held by the trader.
Traders will receive 100% of the profits from withdrawals, up to a total of $5,000. After the first $5,000 of funds have been received by the trader, the profit split will become 80/20, with the trader receiving 80% of withdrawals and TopstepTrader retains 20% of the requested withdrawal. To be clear, this is per trader. If you withdraw $5,000 and then lose your Funded Account, your next Funded Account withdrawal will be 80/20 when you start back up again.
Once the withdrawal request is processed, the Trailing Max Drawdown will be automatically set to the starting account balance (the trader cannot allow the account balance to reach or go below $0 after a withdrawal).

The soph CD from the appropriately named driving bluegrass band The SteelDrivers is a swan song of sorts. No, the band is not heading towards oblivion, but this is the last disc with lead singer Chris Stapleton because he has decided to go back to songwriting (perhaps with good reason as he penned Never Wanted Nothing More for Kenny Chesney, Swing for Trace Adkins, Your Man for Josh Turner, Keep On Lovin' You for Steel Magnolia and Come Back Song for Darius Rucker). That's too bad for this ace quintet although they go out with a big bang.
Stapleton owns one mighty, full-bodied voice. The Kentucky native gives a soulful reading, holding notes (Good Corn Liquor), sounding tender (Can You Run) or giving a sense of sincerity, sometimes sadness (You Put the Hurt On Me) and always believability to the words (Where Rainbows Never Die and Peacemaker). His vocals are sometimes in sharp contrast to the music, providing a great edge on The Price, where he gets way down inside that has a very live feel to it.
This is a band filled with skilled, tuneful players, of course, with Mike Henderson on mandolin, Tammy Rogers on fiddle, Mike Fleming on bass and Richard Bailey on banjo. Once again, they go with a driving beat that meshes with Stapleton's vocals. Songs call for varying instruments to power the music (for example, banjo for a good chunk of Can You Run to fiddle (Midnight on the Mountain).
Gary Nichols was named to replace Stapleton. Those will be mighty huge boots to fill as Stapleton is a gigantic loss to a band with two excellent releases under its belt. This chapter of The SteelDrivers is shut tight. Stapleton and company ended on a very high note.

Nanomedicine Revives an Anti Cancer and Antiangiogenic Drug
Targeting angiogenesis - the formation of new blood vessels - is an important modality in cancer therapy. Cutting off blood supply to tumors can potentially induce dormancy and prevent further tumor progression and spreading. Over the last decade numerous compounds targeting angiogenic pathways were developed, however, their clinical use is often limited by poor pharmacological properties. Nanotechnology can be exploited to address drug-related limitations and provide new mechanisms for drug activity, biodistribution, toxicity and pharmacological profiles.
In this seminar we present the development of Lodamin - a rationally designed drug and polymer-conjugate of the antiangiogenic molecule TNP-470. The nanomicelle structure of Lodamin provides many advantages that dramatically improve TNP-470's properties such as oral availability and safety, which were the main clinical limitations in the clinic. The broad spectrum activity of Lodamin was demonstrated in several preclinical models of angiogenesis, cancer and metastasis and is now being developed for clinical use in oncology and ophthalmology. Lodamin's rational design demonstrates how nanomedicine can be used to overcome previously impassable obstacles on the path to new therapies.

After training 2 years with my Conti CityRide on the roads, sometimes even offroad, I thought that now is the proper time to change them. So I said: let's give a try to Conti SportContact. Like the CityRide, the SportContact has puncture protection, and it turns any bike into a racer.
I have the 26" version witch is suitable also for bike messengers, but there is a 700C line for any fitness bike to be transformed into a speed frenzy. The tire has an extremely fine and stronc carcasss plies, Safety System puncture protection and some of them also have reflector strips.
After the first rides with the new model I must say that I am really happy with it and makes me a real pleasure to train on the road or travel on the bike when I have to go downtown.
