Spinyback Nelson Pinot Noir 2014

Pinot Noir from New Zealand - Nelson
Review Date : 01-Nov-2015
Bright, dark ruby-red colour with youthful purple hues, a little lighter on edge. The nose is tightly bound with fresh aromas of dark red berry and cherry fruit entwined with a fine herbal line along with lifted dark red and violet florals, unveiling nuances of spice and liquorice. Medium-full bodied, elegantly concentrated, but sweet and juicy flavours of dark cherry and berry fruit feature on the palate forming a firm line. The fruit is underlined by fine-grained tannin extraction adding to the linear structure. Balancing acidity lends a gentle freshness, and along with some alcoholic power drives the palate. The wine leads to a long and concentrated finish with raspberry liqueur notes and a suggestion of minerally reduction. This is a tightly bound, elegant, juicy-fruited Pinot Noir with cherry and berry fruit and a fine, firm, structured line. Match with poultry, pork and lamb over the next 4-5+ years. Estate fruit from the Waimea Plains fermented on open top vats and ‘Ganimede’ tanks with a portion of whole berries to 13.5% alc., the wine aged 10 months in oak. 17.5/20 Nov 2015 RRP $17.00

MIS Fusion of the SI Joint: Does Prior Lumbar Spinal Fusion Affect Patient Outcomes?

Leonard Rudolf
Open Orthopaedics Journal 2013, 7: 163-8

BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac (SI) joint pain is a challenging condition to manage as it can mimic discogenic or radicular low back pain, and present as low back, hip, groin and/or buttock pain. Patients may present with a combination of lumbar spine and SI joint symptoms, further complicating the diagnosis and treatment algorithm [1-3]. SI joint pain after lumbar spinal fusion has been reported in the literature. Both clinical and biomechanical studies show the SI joint to be susceptible to increased motion and stress at the articular surface with up to 40-75% of patients developing significant SI joint degeneration after 5 years. In a recent case series study of 50 patients who underwent minimally invasive SI joint arthrodesis, 50% had undergone previous lumbar spinal fusion and 18% had symptomatic lumbar spine pathology treated conservatively [4]. The purpose of this study is to determine if history of previous lumbar fusion or lumbar pathology affects patient outcomes after MIS SI joint fusion surgery.

METHODS: We report on 40 patients with 24 month follow up treated with MIS SI joint fusion using a series of triangular porous plasma coated titanium implants (iFuse, SI-Bone, Inc. San Jose, CA). Outcomes using a numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain were obtained at 3-, 6-, 12- and 24 month follow up intervals. Additionally, patient satisfaction was collected at the latest follow up interval. Patients were separated into 3 cohorts: 1) underwent prior lumbar spine fusion (PF), 2) no history of previous lumbar spine fusion (NF), 3) no history of previous lumbar spine fusion with symptomatic lumbar spine pathology treated conservatively (LP). A repeated measures analysis of variance (rANOVA) was used to determine if the change in NRS pain scores differed across timepoints and subgroups. A decrease in NRS by 2 points was deemed clinically significant [5].

RESULTS: Mean age was 54 (±13) years and varied slightly but not statistically between groups. All subgroups experienced a clinically and statistically significant reduction in pain at all time points (mean change >2 points, p<0.001). There was a statistically significant effect of cohort (p=0.045), with the NF cohort (no prior lumbar spinal fusion) having a somewhat greater decrease in pain (by approximately 1 point) compared to the other 2 groups (PF and LP).Patient reported satisfaction by cohort was: 89% (NF), 92% (PF) and 63% (LP).Overall satisfaction rate was 87%.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Patients with SI joint pain, regardless of prior lumbar spine fusion history, show significant improvement in pain after minimally invasive SI joint fusion. The presence of symptomatic lumbar spine pathology potentially confounds the treatment affect, as patients may not be able to discriminate between symptoms arising from the SI joint and the lumbar spine. These patients expressed a lower satisfaction with surgery. Patients without other confounding lumbar spine pathology and who have not undergone previous spine surgery tend to be younger and experience a greater reduction in pain.

Bardo complete

Posted by Ken Edwards on Monday, December 12, 2011 Under: writing
Those who have followed the progress of my "Bardo" project (the sixth of its seven sequences was serialised on this blog the summer before last) may be interested to know that it is now out as a book from Knives Forks & Spoons Press in a handsome edition with seven colour plates.

You can order it from their website for £8. (Also I think it's available as part of a three-for-£10 deal.)

Essentially the book is an irreverent/serious rewrite of the devotional work known in the West as the Tibetan Book of the Dead (the Bardo Thodol). It's intended to be read to dead people over a period of seven days to encourage them to resist the temptation to reincarnate. The gods and demons of the original (which specifies clearly that they are products of the mind, not "real", and therefore to be rejected) have been translated into contemporary equivalents. The setting is the old town and fishing port of Hastings. The original timeframe and colour scheme have been retained.

My thanks to Alec Newman at Knives Forks & Spoons Press for taking this on and for getting it out so blindingly fast and in such a neat edition.

Part Seven: Richard III & Louis XI

Louis XI

Okay! Part Seven! If you missed Friday’s post covering Richard’s marriage to Anne Neville, then you can catch up here. Today, we’re going to cover Edward IV’s disastrous 1475 military campaign in France and Richard’s disagreement with his brother over the end result.

Without further ado, let’s begin. On August 17, 1473, Queen Elizabeth gave birth to a second son with Edward IV (their sixth child together). The child was christened Richard, presumably in honor of “our” Richard, Duke of Gloucester, as well as the brothers’ father, the Duke of  York. For our purposes, the second of the “Princes in the Tower” was now born.

With peace in England restored and the Lancastrian threat temporarily nullified, attention turned to the bit players in the 1470/1471 drama – France and Burgundy. Namely, the Yorkist government was none too pleased that Louis XI had gone so far in aiding Marguerite of Anjou and Prince Edward’s return to England. Edward IV set his sights on war with France like many a good English king before him.

Part of his preparation included securing the border with Scotland, which in this case meant negotiating enough of a peace settlement that England could safely devote its attention across the Channel. This alliance was cemented by the betrothal of Edward’s third daughter, Princess Cecily, with James III’s eldest son, the Duke of Rothesay (and future James IV) in November 1474.

Concurrently, Edward strengthened his alliance with Charles, Duke of Burgundy (married to his sister, Margaret), so that the two were in lock step for a coordinated strike against France. Remember, too, that France had taken the events of 1471 as an opportunity to declare war on Burgundy, a situation that could arguably have ended up far more dire for Charles had Edward not won the day. The two men reached agreement in July 1474 that once France was beaten, Edward would be crowned king.

It’s worth highlighting England’s relationship with France at this point – or, more specifically, the House of York’s. By 1475, the events of Henry V’s conquest of France were a distant memory, but the glory of them certainly still thrived in public consciousness. England’s attitude – at least formally – when it conquered Normandy and then negotiated the Treaty of Troyes that positioned Henry V (but really Henry VI) as a king of France was that it held these lands by right, underpinning the actual “conquest.” Thus, when those territories were lost in the 1440s and 1450, there was an acute sense of loss. How England managed those territories and the span of its ambition was a point of division in Henry VI’s government – and arguably the cause of the factionalism that would eventually do him in.

Henry VI’s closest advisers were men who belonged to the “peace party,” while his cousin (and Edward and Richard’s father), the Duke of York, was originally in line with the party who favored  more aggression. I’m over-simplifying, but I think it’s fair to call York the political heir of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester (brother of Henry V and son of Henry IV). York’s refrain through the 1450s was not only reform, but a return to the glory days, brought about by effective governance. Literally and figuratively, Edward IV and Richard were his political heirs, tasked with executing this plan. If the 1460s were drowned out by more pressing concerns at home, then the 1470s could see a return to the master Yorkist plan.

The goals were lofty; the end result less so. We can only guess at what Edward and Richard personally thought of the military campaign when they set out in July 1475, but within days they were face-to-face with their sister, Margaret, who told them that Charles had already broken from their attack plan. When Charles finally turned up, it was without his army, and within a month his presence became more of a liability than a help. Edward was fed up and unable to take on the French without the additional military support, so he double-crossed Charles and opened up negotiations with Louis instead. The end result was a new treaty between England and France in which Louis paid Edward a hefty annuity and Edward’s eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, was betrothed to the Dauphin (the future Charles VIII).

In other words, the potential for English glory had been sold. So, too, had England’s good word as Charles – as bad an ally as he was – was rather angry. Richard has long believed to have been fiercely opposed to the new French peace. Late in August, Richard was absent when the two kings met, the consensus being that Richard was among those who objected to the treaty. Richard met Louis shortly thereafter, but whatever the conversation was, it didn’t result in a specific pension to him. It’s almost certain that one was offered since other English noblemen, including William, Lord Hastings and John, Lord Howard, secured them to varying degrees of enthusiasm.

This episode is often presented as evidence of Richard’s moral – or at least, patriotic – purity. But it’s worth mentioning that he didn’t walk away from France empty-handed. According to Desmond Seward, Richard accepted expensive gifts from Louis at Amiens. Is it possible that he, understanding the English would be livid they financed an expensive war and saw no returns from it, found it prudent not to advertise he, too, could be bought? Then again, we don’t know that that’s what those gifts were, assuming record of them is true. Face-to-face with a king, it could have been considered a bridge too far for a duke to outright refuse any and all gifts offered. Tangible, one-time gifts are very different – symbolically, at least – from recurring payments.

There are two major takeaways from this episode. The first concerns Richard’s relationship with Edward. There’s little indication that the brothers’ disagreement over how to handle Louis affected their relationship, but it illustrates two things: the brothers weren’t carbon copies of one another and Richard wasn’t afraid to publicly disagree with Edward. If anything, this situation shows how close they were, and how powerful and well-established Richard was by 1475. His value was so proven that he had the ability to stage a mini protest at his brother’s expense, and the fact that he was allowed to suggests Edward respected him.

The other takeaway is that France had good reason to be cautious about Richard. In 1475, Richard’s opposition to the peace treaty was notable, but not wholly alarming. Edward IV was only 33, he had two sons, and George was still above Richard in the line of succession. But when the events of 1483 rolled around, France found itself having to face the reality of Richard’s supremacy and there was little love lost between him and the House of Valois. Just as they did in 1471, France would again decide its better play was allying themselves against the House of York, and their experience with him in 1475 had to have weighed into that calculation.

Another factor on the European stage at this point was, of course, Henry Tudor. As I mentioned during Part Four, Henry spent a portion of the 1460s as a ward of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, but he was legally stripped of his father’s earldom under Edward IV and stood to gain much when Henry VI was briefly restored in 1470-1471. In fact, the restoration allowed his mother, Margaret Beaufort, and his uncle, Jasper Tudor, to bring him to London to meet the Lancastrian king (his half-uncle). When Lancaster was destroyed at Tewkesbury, Jasper fled with Henry for the continent, aiming for France and ending up in Brittany.

A fun fact about Henry Tudor is that he arguably had a clearer (if not better) claim to the French throne than the English. Jasper and Louis XI were first cousins – Jasper’s mother, Katherine of Valois, was the sister of Louis’s father, Charles VII – and as such, Henry could claim some familial bond to the French Royal Family. Seeking refuge in France made sense, but the fact that they ended up at the court of Duke Francis II of Brittany was a windfall for for the small duchy. Francis held a pawn that both Edward and Louis wanted, and as of 1475, Francis had clearly decided to keep them safe and in his possession for the time being. Edward made several plays to gain custody of Henry throughout the 1470s, sometimes even using Margaret Beaufort as a conduit, but as the end of Edward’s reign wore on, and Richard’s began, Henry’s continued presence abroad would become an increasing liability.

And with that, we’ll pick up next time with George’s downfall.

Another Attack on RepresentativePress

Another Attack on Representative Press

Once again, someone has falsely claimed that one of my web pages or videos violates one of the terms of use of a particular site. This false report, which has disabled my googlepages site, is yet another attempt to censor my political speech.

This is the message I get at my page
"This site has been disabled for violations of our Program Policies. If you feel this disabling was in error, please visit our contact page to let us know. Contact Us"

This is the latest sabotage of Representative Press. Those attempting to censor my political speech have used this tactic before. Hopefully Googlepages will re-enable my account soon. When they did this to a video I put on YouTube, YouTube saw these dirty tricks for what they were, thankfully. See my video: I Heard Back from the YouTube Team about the CENSORED VIDEO

Getting the truth out is a constant battle, I could use any help I can get. Please support Representative Press any way you can. I need to get more equipment and redouble my efforts. This Christmas
Please Buy Your Christmas Gifts Through the Representative Press Store or make a donation to Representative Press

The site they managed to get deleted was the one I linked to from the banner at my YouTube account: "You can help spread the word, pass this link on to everyone you can" Please pass the link of my YouTube account on to everyone you can:

If anyone has any advice about getting a GooglePages website re-enabled, please leave a comment: See video: Another Attack on Representative Press: Website SABOTAGE

Fourier analysis for hydrostatic pressure sensing in a polarization- maintaining photonic crystal fiber

Paul Childs, Allan C.L. Wong, H. Y. Fu, Yanbiao Liao, Hwa Yaw Tam, Chao Lu, Ping Kong Alexander Wai

Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

3 Citations (Scopus)

We measured the hydrostatic pressure dependence of the birefringence and birefringent dispersion of a Sagnac interferometric sensor incorporating a length of highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber using Fourier analysis. Sensitivity of both the phase and chirp spectra to hydrostatic pressure is demonstrated. Using this analysis, phase-based measurements showed a good linearity with an effective sensitivity of 9:45 nm=MPa and an accuracy of ±7:8 kPa using wavelength-encoded data and an effective sensitivity of -55:7 cm-1=MPa and an accuracy of ±4:4 kPa using wavenumber-encoded data. Chirp-based measurements, though nonlinear in response, showed an improvement in accuracy at certain pressure ranges with an accuracy of ±5:5 kPa for the full range of measured pressures using wavelength-encoded data and dropping to within ±2:5 kPa in the range of 0.17 to 0:4 MPa using wavenumber-encoded data. Improvements of the accuracy demonstrated the usefulness of implementing chirp-based analysis for sensing purposes.

Responses of thermal structure and vertical dynamic structure of South China Sea to Typhoon Chanchu

Yi Zhan Chen, Jie Min Zhan, Ying Ying Luo, Wing Hong Onyx Wai, Ling Tang

Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

The response of the South China Sea (SCS) to Typhoon Chanchu (2006) was examined using the MM5 and POM model. In the POM model, sea surface boundary conditions were forced by the simulation wind field from MM5, the velocity forcing was introduced in the eastern boundary and the computational schemes of heat fluxes at the surface were introduced. Comparison with the observation data shows that the simulated results are reliable. In the response process of the SCS to Typhoon Chanchu, the influence of the heat fluxes on thermal structure of the SCS was regionally different. Strong wind forcing would lead to upwelling phenomenon in the lateral boundary of deep water basin. Furthermore, the Ekman pumping theory was used to discuss subsurface upwelling and downwelling phenomenon in typhoon forced stage.

Exploring the Relationship Between Organised Crime and Volume Crime

Rick Brown, Russell G. Smith

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

5 Downloads (Pure)

Volume crimes such as burglary, theft, criminal damage, drug possession, assault and fraud are often treated in popular discourse as a separate category of criminal behaviour to crimes committed by organised criminal groups. Yet in reality there is considerable overlap, with organised criminal groups involved in various forms of volume crime. As part of a program of work investigating the criminal histories of members of organised criminal groups, this study explores the different ways in which such offenders could be involved with volume crime and their motivations for doing so. A typology describes eight ways in which members of organised criminal groups are involved in volume crime. These include professional organisation, methodologically sophisticated crime, covert business practices, service provision, brokerage, business protection, income generation and way of life. Further research should quantify the extent to which members of organised criminal groups in Australia participate in these activities.

Shaping European Union: The European Parliament and Institutional Reform, 1979-1989

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Based on a large range of newly accessible archival sources, this study explores the European Parliament’s policies on the institutional reform of the European Communities between 1979 and 1989. It demonstrates how the Parliament fulfilled key functions in the process of constitutionalisation of the present-day European Union. These functions included defining a set of criteria for effective and democratic governance, developing legal concepts such as subsidiarity, and pressurising the Member States into accepting greater institutional deepening and more powers for the Parliament in the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty.
