Altamura Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

SKU 9802

Our hillside and valley floor estate vineyards in Wooden Valley are at elevations of 700 to 1000 feet. Soil types on the ranch which are similar to the Rutherford Bench and the mountainous regions of Howell Mountain, Pritchard Hill and Mount Veeder called for several different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon on a number of different rootstocks upon planting in 1986. The vines are dry-farmed and vertically trellised. Fermentation of Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon occurs in both open and closed top fermenters. Certain lots are allowed to macerate on their skins for up to three weeks following fermentation. This technique produces a wine with softer, more integrated tannins, which carry fruit and oak nuances through to the palate. The wine is racked into 70% new French oak barrels for a period of 34 months. The wine is lightly filtered and then bottled.

Region Napa Valley

Wine SpectatorA powerful youngster, teaming with rich, layered dark berry, licorice, black walnut, savory herb and cedary oak flavors. Sails along on the finish, courted by chewy, extracted tannins that add to the traction and definition. Drink now through 2032. 3,800 cases made.

James Laube, September 30, 2016
  • wa93

Wine AdvocateThe 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, barrel aged three full years before being bottled. He makes just under 4,000 cases of this exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon, which has an opaque purple color and a dense, powerful mouthfeel, with notes of toast, blackberry and blackcurrant, some cedar wood, licorice and smoky barbecue notes. It is deep, full-bodied, multi-layered and should drink well for another 20+ years.

Christmas Bonus for Three Shops as KFC and Philips Switch

News, 22 December 2000

Christmas will be merrier yet for a trio of agencies – BBDO Worldwide, DDB Worldwide and D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles. But it is a rueful Yule for the New York offices of Young & Rubicam and Euro RSCG Worldwide.

KFC, the former Kentucky Fried Chicken, now part of the Tricon Global Restaurants group, has moved its estimated $175 million account out of Young & Rubicam after four decades and into the New York office of BBDO Worldwide – albeit on an interim basis at present. BBDO also handles Tricon’s Pizza Hut chain.

"I have to wish the company well,” said John Swan, KFC account managing director at Y&R. “I hope they've made the right decision."

It’s champagne too at DDB Worldwide and D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles, both of which are to share the $550 million to $600m account of Amsterdam-headquartered Philips Electronics.

Meanwhile, Alka-Seltzer is the order of the day at former Philips incumbent, Havas-owned Euro RSCG Worldwide (New York). "We are shocked and disappointed by this news," chairman and chief executive Bob Schmetterer told employees. "We were never told Philips was considering, or even talking to, other agencies."

Nationals spring training has lacked even the mildest intrigue in regard to the complexion of the opening day roster, but some uncertainty may have arrived Monday night about the final spot in Washington’s bullpen.

Henry Rodriguez took the mound one day after Manager Davey Johnson rested him with minor inflammation in his elbow. He began his outing with seven consecutive balls before he recovered for a scoreless inning. Two frames later,  veteran left-handed reliever J.C. Romero, freshly signed to a minor league contract, fired a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout.

Afterward, Johnson did not rule out the possibility of Rodriguez beginning the season on the disabled list. Of Romero, Johnson said with a grin, “he looked ready to me.” It does not take much effort to read between those lines and deduce the Nationals are at least considering putting a second left-hander in their bullpen to start the season.

Rodriguez missed the final half of 2012 after he underwent surgery to remove a bone chip from his throwing elbow. He felt tenderness in his biceps at the start of spring training, which set back his schedule. The inflammation over the weekend was another speed bump.

Rodriguez is out of minor league options, which means the Nationals would surely lose him to another team if they tried to send him to the minors. When asked if Rodriguez may start the year on the disabled list, Johnson mostly danced around the question.

“He was out the whole last half of the year,” Johnson said. “He didn’t have any winter ball. He had the operation. He’s going to take some time. I think his arm is feeling pretty good. But power pitchers always have a problem, every spring I’ve ever had them. But what he went through over the winter, he’s behind everybody. He’ll get it. When he throws it over, he’s nasty.”

And so, if he’s behind, is it possible he begins the year on the disabled list?

“We’re not at that point yet,” Johnson said. “If I have to get him some extra work, going back-to-back, I might do that, have him pitch in one of those games” in minor league camp.

Not a yes. But exactly a no, either.

During the game, Rodriguez pitched a scoreless inning that encapsulated his binary tendencies. His seven consecutive balls included one that nearly decapitated leadoff hitter Rick Ankiel. “Henry had me worried again,” Johnson said, laughing.

Rodriguez then found the strike and retired the Astros with two strikeouts and a foul pop next to third base. His velocity was down at first – one scout clocked his fastball at 91 mph to start the inning. By the end, though, it had climbed back to 95-96 mph.

“He threw the ball good,” Johnson said. “He threw the ball a lot better.”

Two innings later, Romero jogged in from the bullpen to make his Nationals spring debut. Romero had worked 5 2/3 innings for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic, which he said “is pretty much playoff intensity. The execution on your pitches, you have to be right on point.”

Monday night, Romero threw his fastball between 87 and 90 mph, according to one scout behind home plate. (Romero suggested the 87-mph radar-gun reading came on a 3-0 cutter.) Even though General Manager Mike Rizzo said it was not realistic for Romero to start the year on the major league roster, he looked like a pitcher who could take the mound in the regular season.

“I feel ready,” Romero said. “I feel healthy.”

If the Nationals choose to shelve Rodriguez at the start of the year, though, Romero would not be an automatic choice. Lefty Fernando Abad has impressed both Nationals officials and rival evaluators, allowing two runs over seven innings this spring, striking out eight and walking two.

The next week will answer who lands the last relief spot. It took much longer to even raise the question.

Chris Young opted out of his contract, leaving the Nationals looking for another sixth starter.

Rodriguez cleared to pitch

Souza emerges

Clippard going strong

The Nationals will again send a full lineup on the road, this time to Jupiter. Dan Haren will make the start. He had said he wanted to avoid the two-hour ride after he felt “achy” pitching there once earlier this spring. This time, he at least made the drive the night before.

Moor Lane Island

‘Moor Lane Island’ was a grass mound at the junction of Moor Lane and New Lane that served as a junction boundary and characterised the area as countryside.

You can see what it looked like here on the image on the right –  a typical road junction feature of old country lanes, just like Moor Lane!

The Controversy begins

In January 2009, Surrey County Council roads departments conspired to remove Moor Lane Island during the dead of night on dubious ‘safety reasons’ without consulting with local residents and in the absence of any data to support that was unsafe.

  • This was all very convenient – Moor Lane was being considered as the access route to a new housing development being proposed by Woking Borough Council, with the land in question owned by Surrey County Council.

The One Show: Professor Rob Toulson appeared in a feature about music apps

Music 10 April 2017

Rob Toulson, Professor and Director of Music and Sound Innovation Centre (MuSIC) at the Westminster School of Media, Arts and Design was interviewed by Dominic Littlewood for a feature on music apps which premiered on The One Show on Friday 7 April.

Presenter Littlewood set out to discover whether music apps could eventually replace real musical instruments and produce the same, or even better results.

Speaking on The One Show, Professor Toulson said: “Apps are much cheaper and more portable. It’s much easier to play with an app for a few minutes and then decided if you want to take up the instrument.”

However he admitted that the connection between the musician and the instrument is a huge part of the sound that is generated.

Littlewood set Imperial College Symphony Orchestra students a challenge to learn how to play using  music apps instead of their instruments.

When asked what he thinks the result will be Professor Toulson predicted: “I think they will find the apps much more difficult to play than the instruments that they’ve learning for a number of years.”

In the end the performance using music apps proved to be far from ear pleasing but a fun experience.

Watch the BBC’s The One Show here.

(Professor Toulson’s feature starts at 22:24.)

Definition - What does Viticulture mean?

Viticulture is the field of study pertaining to the cultivation of grapes. The science of viticulture includes both the study of wine grapes and how they grow. In addition, viticulture is the study of the series of events which occur year-round in a vineyard starting from the budding of the vine to harvest, to the preparation of the vineyard for dormant months. Viticulture is used to describe two versions of the same field - the making of wine and the study of winemaking, this term refers to the latter.

WineFrog explains Viticulture

In the wine industry, viticulture is the field pertaining to any aspect related to the vineyard. It is the study of the grape vine itself, varieties of grapes, grape growth and development and the study of the climate and geology where grapes survive and thrive in best.

The study of viticulture encompasses the processes which occur in the vineyard, including the budding of the vine, fruit set, varaison, canopy management, field studies in fruit development and balance, harvest and readying the vineyard for the winter months. Viticulture is a branch of science relating to horticulture.

Through the discovery of unique traits in human communication and the exploration of media in mass communication, students demonstrate professional communication through real-world projects and internships, prepared for post-college success as skilled communicators.

  • Discover unique traits in human communication. Explore a variety of media in mass communication. Hold an internship with an area business or nonprofit organization. Make the community a better place through service projects. Begin developing a project portfolio for your career. At WLC, students learn to communicate effectively in any career they choose.

    The study of communication enables students to develop skills in speaking, listening, and critical thinking. Students also develop research expertise and learn to appreciate the value of working with others. The WLC communication major will improve an individual’s ability to interact with others on both a personal and professional level.

    What Makes the Program Distinctive?

    The communication major is designed to provide a strong background for entry into a variety of professions. The WLC communication program is unique in that it fosters a quality, professional environment while holding to a Christian worldview. The size of the program is small compared to other schools, so students have greater access to professors. Furthermore, communication majors spend much of their time learning through real-world projects and internships. WLC communication majors are well prepared for graduate school and a wide range of careers immediately upon graduation.

    Relevant and Relational Courses

    WLC communication students take a series of courses designed to prepare them for real-world experiences in a way that most other colleges cannot offer. One such course is COM 311: Listening. The course helps students analyze the nature, process, and barriers to listening skills. Other courses offered are complementary to pursuing a double major in business, psychology, or English.

    Undergraduate Research and Poster Showcase

    WLC communication majors participate in research as undergraduates. Beginning with instruction on how to conduct research, students ultimately complete a research project on the methods and techniques used for systematic observation of communication behavior. The project culminates in a poster presentation, which is evaluated faculty and staff. Research topics have included the impact of gender on political perceptions, communication in long-distance relationships, coach-athlete communication, and the impact of advertising on brand selection.

    Valuable Internships

    An internship may be a student's most valuable tool when seeking employment upon graduation, enabling a smooth transition from being a college student to a full-time professional. WLC will help students secure internships in which they will learn more about their chosen career areas, experience real-world expectations, and network with professionals. WLC communication majors have interned at Froedtert Hospital, HB Performance Systems, the Milwaukee Iron, Northwestern Mutual, Roaring Fork Restaurant Group, Walt Disney World, and White Rice Advertising.

    Learning Through Service

    The communication major places a heavy emphasis on service outside the classroom. All communication students are required to demonstrate their communication competence through a semester-long integrative academic experience. WLC communication students have collected cell phones for soldiers, organized clothing drives for Lighthouse Youth Ministries, participated in Hunger Task Force food collections, and hosted game nights at Luther Haven.

    Graduate School

    A WLC communication degree and real-world experience provide the necessary background for admission to graduate school programs. WLC communication alumni have attended graduate school at UW-Madison, UWMilwaukee, Regent University, Cardinal Stritch University, and Concordia University.

    A bachelor's degree in communication from WLC can lead to a successful career in a wide range of fields including broadcast, journalism, public relations, and marketing. WLC communication alumni have been hired by such companies as Allegiant Airlines, Baer Carlson, Bemis, Comair, Direct Supply, HB Performance Systems, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club, the Milwaukee Radio Alliance, MLG, Red Arrow Labs, Salem Communications, Sony Music, Staples, and Zizzo Group.

To gain an understanding of which online marketing tactics are most effective in generating leads for professional services firms, the Hinge Research Institute conducted a research study of 500 companies. The survey asked marketing leaders at these firms to rank the effectiveness of 15 different online techniques on a scale of zero to 10.

The research team then segmented the data into high growth firms versus average growth firms (based on year-over-year revenue) to get a sense for which strategies were driving growth.

Here’s a snapshot of the results:

It’s no surprise that across the board, high growth firms rated the efficacy of the techniques higher than average growth firms did. What’s interesting, however, is which technique each segment selected as the top lead generation technique. Whereas the average growth companies claimed the company newsletter and e-mail marketing to be most effective, high growth companies rated SEO, blogging and Web analytics to be the most effective. Why are these techniques working so well for the high growth firms?

SEO: The Foundation for Online Success

Smart companies understand that the first step to generating a lead online is simply being found. If your firm is displaying in search results for important industry terms, then your opportunities for exposure are dramatically increased. Of course, this is easier said than done.

The rules of search have evolved over the years and the same SEO techniques you used a few years ago may end up hurting you more than helping you today. Here’s a quick look at a few outdated tactics that will likely work against your website:

Stuffing a variety of keywords onto one page and repeating those words many times;
Submitting to hundreds of low-quality directories or article submission websites;
Focusing your energy on ranking for just a couple of broad homepage keywords;
Relying on meta tags and other back-end technical work to produce quick results;
Looking at rankings as a primary metric for success.

Instead of spending time on these now obsolete SEO techniques, shift your energy on strategies that earn you some online respect:

Selecting one or two important keyword phrases per Web page and optimizing content by weaving the phrases in naturally (not over-stuffing);
Creating content that is useful and worth linking to. Often times this comes in the form of an educational library;
Reaching out to industry blogs and publications and actively promoting content via social media to increase inbound links;
Looking at leads from search engines as primary metric for success.

Blogging: The Never-ending Traffic Generator

It makes sense that high growth firms find blogging to be an effective lead generation tactic. Because blogging helps your firm in so many different ways, it is considered one of the most efficient methods in online marketing. Here are the primary reasons it is important for a professional services firm to maintain an educational blog:

• Link Bait —By hosting valuable content on your site (educational articles, videos, infographics and research that targets your prospects), you increase the likelihood that other websites will link to yours. More inbound links equals higher credibility with search engines and, therefore, better rankings and more traffic.

• Indexed Pages — Each time you post in your blog, it is another page that will likely be crawled and indexed by search engines. The more content you have, the more opportunities there are for searchers to find you on various topical searches.

• Social Ammunition — A steady stream of blog posts gives your team a reason to be active in social media. Instead of entering social groups with nothing valuable to say, your social media marketers will have a consistent flow of content to share and talk about. Linking to these posts on social networks is a great way to generate traffic.

• Thought Leadership — Having an exceptional blog is a way to stand out from the competition. After visitors use your blog as an educational resource over time, they will learn to trust you as an authority and be more likely to select your firm as a service provider when the time comes.

Note that your blog posts should not be promotional in nature. Focus instead on helping your prospects solve business challenges and understand the market. Keep posts short, sweet and concentrated on relevant keyword phrases for optimal results in Google.

Web Analytics: The Analysis You Cannot Ignore

It’s tough to be a successful online marketer without the right measurements for judging success. The discrepancy between ratings of high growth and average growth firms is significant in the analytics category. The high growers understand the necessity of tracking progress, making adjustments and finding ways to improve more quickly.

Web analytics tools like Google Analytics allow us free access to an extreme amount of valuable data. Often times it feels like too much to handle. If you are looking to improve your reporting then it’s important to start with some basic metrics and review them on at least a monthly basis. Here are the crucial online marketing metrics:

• Traffic by Source — Look to see where your Web traffic is coming from. Is LinkedIn sending you visitors? What is the quality of those visits in terms of time spent on the site? How much of your traffic is from Google and which keywords are sending you the best visitors?

• Conversions by Source — In professional services, a “conversion” occurs when a visitor takes action designated by your firm as being important. For example, if a Web visitor fills out your contact form, your Google Analytics could register that as a conversion. eBook downloads or newsletter subscriptions are other examples of conversions.

When looking at this metric, analyze which traffic sources are leading to conversions. You may be getting plenty of visitors from Facebook, but are they taking the actions that you want? If not, perhaps they are not the right type of visitor.

• Page Performance — It’s highly useful to know which of the pages on your site are performing well. Look to understand which pages are the most visited and how long visitors are remaining on those pages. Also take a look at the exit rate for your top pages, which is the rate at which visitors leave the website after viewing a particular page.

• Demographics — Know your Web visitors. Analytics software is incredibly in-depth these days and you should take advantage. What countries, states, and cities are your visitors from? Are they using mobile devices? Are they new visitors or returning? Demographic information will help you tailor your online marketing approach through the process.

What About Social Media?

Social media is, in fact, an important part of online lead generation for professional services firms. LinkedIn, for example, was rated as the fifth most effective technique by high growth firms. What’s key, however, is understanding the priorities of these techniques and deciding the right time to invest in social marketing.

Without a solid foundation of educational content (blogs, eBooks, etc.), it doesn’t make too much sense to dive deep into social media territory. If you do, it’s unlikely you’ll have much to say other than what’s new with your firm. If you first establish a steady flow of content, it allows your team to become involved in LinkedIn groups, Twitter, and other online hubs in a meaningful way.

Gardens at Oxbow recognized as first 'Traditional Neighborhood Development' in WNY

The Gardens at Oxbow in the Village of Lewiston.
The Gardens at Oxbow in the Village of Lewiston.

by Carreen Schroeder

At its awards gala in late September of this year, the Niagara County Builders Association honored Paul Game and his partners, William Game and George Grasser, for their vision and completion of the first "Traditional Neighborhood Development" in Western New York.

Sometimes referred to as "New Urbanism," TNDs are quaint, compact neighborhoods emphasizing community. The neighborhoods are generally home to wide sidewalks, houses with large front porches and are established in communities with a variety of walkable destinations.

Known as Gardens at Oxbow, the neighborhood's 6.5 acres sit between Mohawk Street and Oxbow Lane in the Village of Lewiston. The TND is comprised of 23 homes with a small pond at its core. It's just a short, three-block walk to the Village of Lewiston's Center Street, where one will find a plethora of locally owned and operated restaurants, shops and attractions.

Paul Game, vice president and builder at the Oxbow Development Corp., has been in the trade in the Niagara County area since 1978. He said he was thrilled for his and his partners' work to be recognized by the NCBA as a "Project of Honor."

Game emphasizes that, although some areas need to remain standard to qualify as a TND - traditional look, large porch - every exterior is different and he is more than willing to custom build according to a prospective client's wishes. He and his team can build custom homes to suit each and every client. Homes can be anywhere from 1,400 to 3,000 square feet with one, two or three or more bedrooms, single homes or duplexes. Accessory apartments are also available should a homeowner wish to accommodate the needs of a family member or rental tenant.

Other TND land use practices include hidden garages at the back of the homes and connective street patterns with no dead end streets for greater accessibility.

Grasser, president of the Oxbow Development Corp., is a retired real estate development attorney of 35 years and now heads the nonprofit organization Partners for a Livable Western New York, working to improve land use. He also plays a key role in new urbanism through the New Urban Society.

William Game serves as secretary/treasurer of the corporation at Oxbow. After a successful 36 years as owner of the Ziebart rustproofing franchise, and having retired from the Niagara Falls engineering and fire departments where he served for 27 years, Game and his wife built a home in the Gardens at Oxbow where they have been living since 2008.

Together, this team of three has decades of leadership and experience in building, engineering and real estate.

Cancer patients 'suffering needless pain'

14 October 2014 10:44

Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from the breast to other parts of the body

Secondary breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from the breast to other parts of the body

A leading charity claims that women with incurable breast cancer are often suffering needless pain.

Breast Cancer Care says that offering patients with secondary breast cancer the option of palliative care might help ease that pain and improve their quality of life.

However, a survey it conducted shows that a third of patients with the condition have never been offered the option, leaving them to get on with their lives in excruciating pain.

Palliative care tries to relieve pain while also providing psychological, social and spiritual support. It is often associated with end-of-life care but with many people now living years with the diagnosis it can also be beneficial for those looking to make the most of their time.

Such care could allow cancer patients to consider a holiday, providing families with some happy memories and helping to take their mind off treatment.

Of course they should also consider special medical insurance for cancer patients, as it will provide them with peace of mind during their trip should they need to go to hospital or require replacements for lost medicine.

The charity says it is vital that doctors have the right training in order to be able to offer palliative care as an option to patients, expressing concern over comments from respondents to its survey who said the support they had been offered was "second rate".

By making sure women have access to such treatment, patients with secondary breast cancer might be better able to manage their pain, the charity says.

What is secondary breast cancer?

Secondary breast cancer is when cells break away from the primary breast cancer and spread to other parts of the body.

:: Primary breast cancer starts as a lump in the breast.

:: Many women can be cured by treatment but in some instances the cancer cells spread to other areas.

:: These cancer cells form a secondary cancer or metastasis.

:: This new cancer is made up of breast cancer cells even if, for instance, it is found in the liver. It will behave as breast cancer and be treated by doctors in the same way rather than as a primary liver cancer.

About the Artist:

Rick Kelley's wildlife art is a visual journal of his life's travels, experiences and adventures. Every creation evokes a fond memory of the wildlife Rick admires, preserves, and respects. Rick's approach is to capture the emotion in each animal, whether it is the serenity of the loon, the majesty of the bald eagle or the stealth power of the gray wolf. These visions and strong emotions coupled with Kelley's scientifically and proportionately correct images have made him a nationally recognized and critically acclaimed wildlife artist.

Rick began his quest to be an artist out of a love for nature at the early age of ten. He continued to paint through school, and after graduation Kelley took advantage of his father's transfer to Montana. T he used Montana's beauty as a backdrop and inspiration for his work. After studying at Eastern Montana University, Rick set out on his own. Less than ten years later in 1980, he began painting professionally….. full time.

• Saatchi Pays Record $1.6 Million For Damien Hirst Sculpture

    Once again raising eyebrows in the art world, Charles Saatchi has paid $1.6 million for a new sculpture by British "shock" artist Damien Hirst, by far the highest price ever paid for the artist.

    The move will further increase Mr. Hirst's visibility; his preserved-shark and dissected-livestock sculptures already put him at the forefront of contemporary art. But because the price Mr. Saatchi paid is more than four times the...

KANZ Technology Summit 2014

Posted 3 years ago in Tech by Matt Vickers

Earlier this month I was fortunate to be invited by NZ Trade & Enterprise to the Korea, Australia, New Zealand (KANZ) Technology Summit in Auckland. The conference brought together members of the technology communities of all three countries to forge links and share ideas about how to grow and support the ICT sector and strengthen the high-tech economy.

For me, the highlight of the event was Dave Birch’s stream on digital identity and money. Dave is the Global Ambassador for Consult Hyperion, a UK based consultancy focused on security around electronic transactions. Dave is something of a payments raconteur, whose wisecracks about ATMs needing thatched roofs and assuming anyone using cash is a drug dealer were funny and insightful – but they were all inching toward the point that despite all the innovation in financial services, all that we’ve really done is move physical payment paradigms into the digital world, and it’s not all that great an experience. Proving and managing identity for online financial transactions is still a big barrier to efficiency, and establishing identity, even in the physical world, often gives the illusion of security without any true validation. It’s “two people acting in a play about security” rather than an exchange that is truly secure.

Also, all the innovation in payments is happening on networks that were set up in the 1970s and 1980s by Mastercard and Visa – what people are coming up with when they’re creating mobile wallets or swipeable wristwatches is still running through those networks. And although none of these innovations have had particularly strong take up with consumers so far, there doesn’t appear to be anyone doing strong advocacy for merchants, who on every innovative transaction give up 2% or more of the sale to the network that processes it.

But, as any network of sufficient scale is a potential platform for payments – it’ll be interesting to see whether the big distribution networks – Apple, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Amazon decide to get in the game and offer alternatives. On the New Zealand front, it’d be great to see a domestic network that was easier on merchants. With 2% of our transactional volume heading offshore in fees, it seems well within the national interest. Rod has written about this before.

There were a large number of representatives from Korea at the summit, and their story is a fascinating one. From being a poor economy in the 1960s, through smart leadership and a focus on technology, they’ve transformed themselves into the country with 12th largest GDP in the world and established themselves the world’s 7th largest exporter. Enviably, and on the back of that success, they also have the world’s 10th highest incomes.

Korea’s Vice-Minister of Science, ICT and Future Planning, Yoon Jong-Lok, shared Korea’s vision for a creative economy powered by the imagination of its citizens – where everyone can contribute to an bank of innovation ideas that can spun out into start-ups – with the submitter of an idea being partnered to business people to take the idea through to fruition. It sounds ambitious – but Korea, recognising that the continued value of their exports rests on their ability to innovate, is actively trying to harness the imaginations of all 50 million of its citizens.

They’re also of course one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, with high speed trains, smart cities and blisteringly fast internet – so fast that the Korean delegates I met were noticeably astonished at our woeful internet speeds.

Korea is focussed on building cities and environments that foster start-ups, by creating technological ‘soil’ where a new breed of businesses can flourish. By creating cities with sensors, APIs and open data, there’s an opportunity for entrepreneurs to build services on top of this and create value for people. It’s an idea that’s been around for a while and championed by people like Adam Greenfield – the difference is that Korea is well down the track, and that people like Roger Dennis are aiming to emulate with the Sensing City project in post-quake rebuild Christchurch.

There’s no single factor that accounts for all of Korea’s success, but part of it may be the representation of technology in government. The Vice-Minister has a Masters in Electronics Engineering and worked at Bell Labs in the US as a special researcher, so he knows his stuff. If we were to look at New Zealand or Australia’s governments – that sort of representation just isn’t there. My boss has a possible answer for New Zealand – and it seems to me a sensible and straight-forward approach given that there’s unlikely any talent in our political parties coming through the ranks with those sorts of credentials. Getting some real ICT grunt advising cabinet on policy, however it’s done, can only help improve the level of conversation on ICT matters.

If there was one takeaway from the conference, it’s that every business and every industry is now a software business, and that Korea totally understands this and is refining its economy to capitalise on the opportunity. Its survival depends on it. Mary Meeker touched on this in her Internet Trends presentation with the idea of the Reimagination of Everything. It’s apparent and obvious that almost every industry is being disrupted. The question is, when every pre-internet business model is reconfigured and transformed to exist in the cloud – what then?

It should be really, really, easy for you to support live, local music this Saturday night (tonight). The Bedford Tavern has three bands (Happy Hour, Fall of Ishvall, and Questionable Methods) starting at 10 pm. No cover. If that doesn't fit your musical taste, Borrowed Time and Charlie McLanahan are playing just outside of town, and Matt Otis is likewise playing just on the outskirts of town. Plenty of choices depending on your wallet and musical tastes - so there's no excuse NOT to have fun this Saturday night!

The Bedford Tavern added 3 new photos.
Decision (June) 2017: tonight's the night when YOU decide whether we have a DJ every Friday night, or just the jukebox. DJ ROCKSTEADY will be back tonight, 10-2. If you want him back each week, stop in and show him some love. Stay away, and we'll know you prefer no DJ. You decide!

The Bedford Tavern added 2 new photos.
Last night's dedication of a Tuesday Night Therapy to the recently departed and dearly missed Ros Kunsman was hosted by Borrowed Time, a truly fantastic pair of gentlemen and musicians. This Friday will feature the return of DJ Rocksteady to the Tavern - the length of the return will be determined by YOU - the customers. If you want him to come back on a regular basis, come in and show him the love. And this Saturday features three bands - another chance for you, the customer, to determine whether you want to support live music here at the Tavern, or whether you prefer the jukebox. Let your voice be heard!

Tonight's Tuesday Night Therapy will be dedicated to the memory of Rosalie Kunsman. Fly high, Ros! Fly high!

MUSIC THIS WEEK - and an ANNOUNCEMENT. Tuesday Night Therapy - live music in the Tavern dining room - features... BORROWED TIME! Come see these great musicians - always a good time. On FRIDAY night, we will bring back DJ ROCKSTEADY for either a one night stand, or the beginning of a continued run. If you want a DJ on Friday nights at the Tavern, come in this Friday night and show him some love! Similarly, on SATURDAY night, we have a series of bands - if you want to start hearing bands again at the Tavern, vote with your feet - c'mon in to show your support.

Empowering Our Communities To Redesign

Wood Waste: Recycle, Bury, or Burn? Jeffrey Morris Gives an Answer.

Wood Yard at Schiller Station
Wood Yard at Schiller Station

Whilst the European Commission is trying to shape a policy for the sustainable use of biomass for energy purposes as part of the revision to the Renewable Energy Directive, new research has shown that the use of wood waste biomass does not fit the sustainability criteria.

Dr. Jeff Morris, expert on cradle-to-cradle and cost benefit analysis is the senior economist and principal at Sound Resource Management Group, Inc., has undertaken research on the life cycle analysis(LCA) of clean wood waste management methods, which has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology earlier this month.

Sharing his findings with the GAIA and Zero Waste International Alliance networks, Morris explained:

“This LCA shows that wood waste combustion for electricity, heat energy or combined heat and power (CHP) is typically the least preferable management option from a combined climate, human health and ecosystems impacts perspective versus recycling into reconstituted wood products or papermaking pulp, or even versus landfilling with methane capture and flaring or use to generate electricity. Only in the case of replacing high-sulfur-coal burning that uses minimal emissions controls does wood burning for heat energy look slightly better for climate impacts versus recycling the wood wastes.

But even then wood waste burning doesn’t win out versus recycling for overall environmental performance including human and ecosystems health in addition to climate impacts. Wood burning loses versus landfilling with methane capture when wood replaces coal that is not high in sulfur and both the wood and coal burning facilities have better than minimal emissions controls.

In other words, wood wastes burn dirty just as coal does and only get a slight edge against landfilling when wood wastes displace high sulfur coal when both wood and coal are burned in facilities that don’t do much to control their atmospheric emissions.

This LCA does for wood waste combustion what Tim Searchinger, Mary Booth and many others have shown for burning whole trees for power or heat. Whether whole trees or wood wastes from construction/demolition debris or from logging sites, burning wood is not an environmentally friendly source of energy.”

The article is in the Early View area for the Journal of Industrial Ecology and can be downloaded for free until the end of September.

ZocdocAnswersAm I having a heart attack or did I pull a muscle in my chest?

Am I having a heart attack or did I pull a muscle in my chest?

For the last past few days my chest has been hurting me and my back and my neck and both my arms. It goes away when I'm asleep but then comes back when I'm awake. I have been have greif over the death of paul walker. I don't know if this is stress reatd. I'm scared I don't won'tto die

I am sorry to hear about your grieving and your debilitating symptoms. I strongly encourage you to see your primary care doctor for further evaluation, as it is not possible to provide an accurate diagnosis with knowing your full medical history and performing an in-person evaluation. Grief and other extreme emotional conditions can cause a multitude of symptoms, including diffuse body aches. Given that your symptoms seem to have developed during your period of grief, it is possible this is the cause. A blockage in one of your heart's arteries (coronary artery disease) can lead to chest pain. This pain often radiates to your neck and arms. It is most common during periods of physical or emotional stress but can also occur at rest. Your question seems to suggest your symptoms last for many hours at a time, which is somewhat atypical for coronary artery disease. However, you will need to be evaluated by your physician to determine if this is the cause. Additionally, aortic dissection, or a tear in your aorta, often causes tearing chest pain radiating to your back. It can also radiate to your neck and arms. This is a life threatening condition. Given how severe and debilitating your symptoms are, I strongly encourage you to see your primary care physician.

This answer is for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or (in the United States) 911 immediately. Always seek the advice of your doctor before starting or changing treatment.

ALS milestone – Common cause of all forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) discovered

ScienceDaily (2011-08-22) — The cause of ALS, a fatal disease that paralyzes its victims, has long eluded scientists. But a new study for the first time has identified a common cause of all forms of ALS, opening a new field to find a treatment. The cause is a broken recycling system in the neurons in the spinal cord and brain that results in severely damaged cells. The finding also may have a wider role in other dementias such as Alzheimer’s.

Now they know what needs fixing. Figuring out how to do that and how it gets broken may take a while but … it will stop being a horrible lingering death sentence ‘sooner’ rather than ‘later’. Yahoo!! Science beats mumbo-jumbo ooga-booga any day 🙂

    - I want to give User A a userbanner or the thing below the avatar.
    - Is it possible that I give him a banner without adding him to another group>?

    I think you can do that with a template conditional.
  3. Chris D

    Chris D XenForo Developer Staff Member

    Is there a particular reason you don't want to create another user group? Generally they can just be used for such user styling things without permissions then just add it as a secondary group.

    But other than that, you could do a template conditional.
  4. Blast

    This was supposed to be an award for an individual.
  5. OUTL4W

    OUTL4W Active Member

    one way is to create a new custom user field called "award"
    also tick "viewable in message user info"

    I have mine unticked cause I use a conditional on the "message_user_info" template.
    have it only editable by mod then for value display:
    <img src="{$value}"/>

    another way is to edit the message_user_info template directly with a conditional.

    I'm not sure but, although it's only for one person, you could have done it via a user group by now. It would take less than a minute.

Random mowing

Posted in Kids, Travel with tags , , , on April 27, 2010 by xi'an

My brother-in-law Christophe has a mowing robot (called Mara!) that is completely autonomous. It starts from its plug and goes along straight lines until it hits an obstacle or the boundaries defined by an underground cable. Then it turns at random and starts again. The concept is quite interesting but I am surprised that it operates on a purely local random walk principle, without any learning about the topology of the terrain. This means that zones with more obstacles are visited less often. (To compensate for that, the mower starts moving in circles each time it hits denser regions of grass.) And that the mower spends a lot of time looking for its plug. An algorithmic determination of the terrain would be possible, obviously, using for instance a Metropolis-Hastings scheme.
