For 20 years, the first Sunday of August has been recognized as National KidsDay by KidsPeace, an organization providing mental health services to children and adolescents across the country. One focus of this day is to encourage parents and caregivers to spend more meaningful time with their children.
"There's Mother's Day and Father's Day, so when is Kids' Day?" my son asked. "Every day?" I thought. Actually, for 20 years, the first Sunday of August has been recognized as National KidsDay by KidsPeace, an organization providing mental health services to children and adolescents across the country. One focus of this day is to encourage parents and caregivers to spend more meaningful time with their children.
"Your children need your presence more than your presents." – Jesse Jackson
Presence is more than the state of being in proximity. More importantly for relationships is an emotional presence: being open, available, and "in the present" with those around us. Think of the last time you tried to talk to a distracted friend, spouse, or co-worker who is physically there but not really there.
It's not only young children who need your presence. After working with hundreds of adolescents, I am no longer surprised to hear, "I miss time with my mom" or "I just wish my dad had time to listen."
Parents, on the other hand, are usually surprised to hear this since often, their teen looks at them like they have two heads and seems more interested in their friends and what's happening on Instagram or Twitter. But when we give the gift of our presence, we are demonstrating love and respect for our children. We are communicating that we value them. Presence is required for connected relationships with our children.
I recommend a thought-provoking blog called "Hands-free Mama" by Rachel Macy Stafford. In one popular piece, she quotes a longtime childcare provider, speaking to today's parents: "I can recall a time when you were out with your children you were really with them. You engaged in a back-and-forth dialog even if they were pre-verbal. You said, 'Look at the bus, see the doggie, etc.' Now I see you on the phone, pushing your kids on the swings while distracted by your devices. You think you are spending time with them but you are not present really."
Ms. Stafford details ways that we allow our busyness and the accessibility of technology to take priority over meaningful presence with our children. For instance: Allow the sounds and alerts from your phone to interrupt your child midsentence; While you wait for your food or for the movie to start, stare at your phone despite the fact that your child sits inches away; Go to your child's game and look up periodically as if she won't notice that you aren't paying attention; Make calls while driving instead of talking to your kids about their day, their worries, or their dreams; Read messages at stoplights then tell yourself that when your kids are old enough to drive they won't remember you did this.
Yes, at times we must be readily available to other people and yes, we have other responsibilities. But, as Stafford suggests, we can be present with our children by:
1. Looking into her eyes when she speaks;
2. Stopping to give him your full attention;
3. Allowing her to see your face light up when you see her;
4. Playing with him;
5. Setting an example distraction-free driving;
6. Talking to him, asking him about his day, listening to him.
What kind of presence will you give your kids on Aug. 4 (and every day)? For inspiration, check out www.handsfreemama.com and www.mindful-dad.org.

Pharmaceutical Company Achieves Positive In-Vitro Testing Results Diabetes Drug
Global Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Outlook for 2013 Continues to be Encouraging
Jan 31, 2013, 09:20 ET
CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, January 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Crown Marketing Pharmaceuticals (OTC: CWNM) announced today that it has achieved positive in-vitro testing results of the most widely prescribed Diabetes drug commonly known as Metformin. Crown's Controlled Drug Delivery Device (CDDT) is less than half the size of the 500mg dosage tablet, and may reduce and ameliorate many of the gastrointestinal side effects of Metformin. The most common adverse effects of Metformin are gastrointestinal upset including diarrhea, cramps, nausea and vomiting. Crown Marketing Pharmaceuticals (OTC: CWNM) believes it can significantly reduce or eliminate these effects with its patented technology.
Patients also have issues about the taste and odor associated with the medication. Common complaints are that it "smells fishy" and can leave a metallic taste in the mouth. This is critical because it impacts patient compliance-if it tastes or smells bad, patients oftentimes will not take the medication as directed. Crown's CDDT can overcome these issues due to its novel, diffusion based design and its impermable coating. According to IMS figures, the total market sales for all forms of Metformin were $1.6 billion, with sales of Metformin extended-release formulation alone accounting for over $460 million last year.
Metformin is an pharmaceutical oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels originally sold as Glucophage. Metformin is for people with type 2 diabetes. Metformin is sometimes used in combination with insulin or other medications, but it is not for treating type 1 diabetes. One of the more common long-term complications of diabetes is diabetic renal disease ("renal" refers to the kidneys). Also known as diabetic nephropathy, this condition is a result of direct vascular abnormalities that accompany diabetes. Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: KERX) announced this week that its kidney disease drug, Zerenex, is also receiving positive signs as it has performed better than a placebo in late-stage clinical trials. The New York company said Monday that Zerenex showed a "highly statistically significant" change in serum phosphorus levels compared with a placebo in patients with advanced kidney failure who were on dialysis. Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: KERX) closed up yesterday at $8.49 per share on large trading volume over 49.1Million shares traded.
The Global Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology sector continues to remain attractive, as cost containment initiatives, restructuring/deconsolidation, share repurchase program, M&A, emerging market growth potential and dividend policy continue to be encouraging. Over the next few years, the growth of the industry would be shaped up by a battle between fundamental growth drivers (Value added innovation) versus regulatory pressures to contain costs. In Merger & Acquisition news, MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAPP) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing new therapies to address undermet patient needs in neurology. The Company is developing LEVADEX®, an orally inhaled investigational drug for the acute treatment of migraine. Allergan, Inc. (NYSE: AGN) inked a deal with MAP Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAPP) to acquire the latter. As per the terms of the deal, Allergan will acquire all the shares of MAP Pharmaceuticals for $25.00 per share. The offer price represents premium of 60% over MAP Pharmaceuticals' closing price back on Jan 22, 2012.
Another leader in the sector, Amarin Corporation (NASDAQ: AMRN) was originally a small British drug delivery company, which evolved into a cardiovascular drug development company and is now among the more promising biopharmaceutical companies in the US. Vascepa (icosapent ethyl) for treatment of hypertriglyceridemia is Amarin's first FDA approved product, whose market introduction was announced by the company on January 24, 2013. Hypertriglyceridemia refers to high blood level of triglycerides, a blood fat that contributes to cardiovascular problems.

Summer is usually a time for barely there clothing; it's hot outside and most people tend to wear shorter clothing to keep cool. I on the other hand, have actually worn long sleeves and long pants during the summer to protect my skin from UV rays. Does it get hot, yes, but I was confident that I was protecting myself. Jennifer Annett is the Integrated Marketing Manager for Coolibar. She talks about her experience in the surprising advantage of long sleeves.
I have fair skin, strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes. In my lifetime I have had more sun burns than I can count. So, it would make sense that a person like me would work for a sun protective clothing company. And now, after almost 6 years of learning about the dangers of UV, I not only want to stop sunburn, I want to prevent wrinkles, aging and skin cancer and sun protective clothing is the easiest most guaranteed way to get UV protection.
Needless to say, I am a Coolibar fan! I purchase many of our garments, I have a Coolibar hat for every occasion and I give Sun Protection You Wear as gifts to my friends and family. I believe in our products, however, until recently, I struggled with the perception that long sleeves will make me hot. Old habits die hard and when the temperature soars, my first inclination is to put on a tank top and shorts, even though my fair skin requires protection.

Prior to the holiday weekend, I had read a blog post called Why I Don't Wear Sunscreen and was reminded how other cultures adapt to hot sunny conditions. Most people are covered and you don't see many tank tops in the desert. According to the author's Egyptian guide, "Exposing skin will get you burnt, and you'll be hotter."
This article was on my mind last weekend when temperatures reached 90 degrees with high humidity. I was meeting my friend for a walk at 11am, which is during peek UV exposure. I decided I was going to do an experiment and pulled out my trusty Coolibar jacket (zipped to the top) and paired it with my favorite walking pants. I added my Coolibar visor and sunglasses and applied sunscreen only to my face and hands. I envisioned that I was wearing special anti-aging armor, and after an hour, I still felt really comfortable. My girlfriend, on the other hand, was melting. She wore a tank top.

Let's face it, when the weather is that hot, you are going to sweat. You might as well protect your skin and feel cooler since the sun won't be in direct contact with your skin. I have a renewed faith in the ability of Coolibar products to help keep me cool and protected.

Newborn's photoshoot with police officer dad, firefighter mom's gear is warming hearts
Newborn's photoshoot with police officer dad, firefighter mom's gear is warming hearts
A newborn's photoshoot is gaining quite the attention.
In the viral photo, Enzo Anthony Crnolic is pictured atop his parent's uniforms. His father is a Jacksonville police officer and his mother is a Jacksonville firefighter.
The one month old is next to his parents' hats calmly sleeping and melting the hearts of many.
"It means a lot knowing that we're both public servants," Enzo's father, Mirza Crnolic, said. "I wanted to do a photo that included both him as a police officer and me as a firefighter."
Photography Erica Posluszny said that Enzo will "definitely be protected."
Comments on the post gushed about how adorable the picture is. One person wrote, "This is the BEST!"
Another commented "Omg!!!! I love this."

This morning I watched the latest episode of Girls, and it contained the most important sex scene I've seen in ages. I know that Girls isn't everyone's cup of tea, and in truth it's pretty hit and miss for me too – but I keep watching it because sometimes Lena Dunham's writing is so incredibly spot on that you find yourself nodding at the screen and saying "Yes" emphatically, out loud.
You can watch the scene in question here. You can watch the whole episode if you want to put it in context, but otherwise, skip to 24.09 – it only lasts about three minutes:
This scene discusses the concept of consent more usefully than any scene that ever depicted rape as violent and black-and-white. For example, the rape scene in Charlize Theron's Monster made incredibly uncomfortable viewing for me, but it was obvious what the director was saying: "this is wrong." And people watching it agreed – it didn't change anyone's mind about what consent was, or what rape was.
In this episode of Girls, Dunham depicted a sexual experience that millions of girls, including me, have experienced time and again. And we need to talk about it. Because the jury is out on whether or not that was a consenting sexual moment, and even I haven't fully decided. Our uncertainty makes it the most important teaching tool about consent I've seen in years. Here's why:
- It's about an issue of consent between two adults in a relationship – this is no stranger in a dark alley
- It's about whether silence can mean consent – and it's about whether consent can be withdrawn
- It's about saying "This. This is the effect of porn culture on thinking about sexual consent."
I can't remember every time I've been in a sexual situation where I was unhappy but didn't say anything – but it's probably more than ten. On the flipside, I can remember just one time, fairly recently, where I put a stop to it. Where all I was feeling was that I was an object being fucked, and not a participant where my partner cared about respecting me or my level of enjoyment. And I probably only had the strength to do that because of how much I've increased my confidence in discussing consent, and because the guy involved was a friend. All over the world, girls are having these experiences, and it's seen as normal.
This, by the way, isn't saying that sex as depicted in the above scene is inherently wrong. We've seen that character, Adam, having that kind of sex with a girl who was into it, and that was fine. But – and this all comes back to my post The 'grey area' of rape – Natalia was clearly not into it. For Adam, this was a moment in which all he cared about was his own sexual gratification and exerting power over his girlfriend – it was about disregarding her dignity and her body language. You can tell from her facial expressions, from her body, from her protestations that she "didn't shower today" that this was not something she wanted to do.
And where did he learn that behaviour from? That idea that it was acceptable to order his girlfriend of two weeks to crawl on all fours for him, to then ejaculate on her body, against her wishes, as if she was a dumping ground for his sperm? That's a scene straight out of 90% of web porn, where the woman is dominated and her sexual pleasure becomes secondary, if it even matters at all.
This is what boys as young as twelve are watching on a daily basis. Of course it seeps into their own behaviour. I remember boys pushing my head towards their crotch when I was fourteen – before free porn sites like YouPorn and PornHub made it instantly possible to watch a woman being degraded. I genuinely shudder to think what fourteen-year-old boys think is acceptable sexual etiquette these days, when all they have to teach them is the misogynistic porn that now takes up 70% of the entire content of the Internet.
So that scene. That scene is what parents, feminists, teachers, policemen and politicians need to be talking about. Because whether or not you think that it was rape, I hope you can see that it highlights an area of consent that desperately needs discussing – both around teenagers, and around everybody else. If you can teach people that mutual, explicit consent is important, you can transform how they think about all sexual acts – and ultimately, challenge rape myths around drunkenness, silence and clothing.

Vera of Baking Obsession, one of my favourite food blogs, tagged me with this questionnaire. Being new to blogging, this is my first time participating. I don't know who came up with the concept at first, but I think it's a good way to get to know other food bloggers a little bit better.
So here goes...
1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was 13 years old and at the 6th Grade in Primary School in Singapore. I was sitting for what was called the PSLE, which will basically determine whether or not I would be able to enter a top ranking Secondary School (that's like Junior High).
2.What are 5 non-work things on my to-do list today?
-Upload and edit my photos for the blog
-Read a novel
-Make something using the hybrid lem-orange that my boyfriend gave me, which came from his step-grandmother's backyard
-Check my favourite food blogs for new posts
-Do the laundry and other boring household stuff
3. What snacks do you enjoy?
I enjoy anything sweet and loaded with one or all of the following ingredients: milk, cream, eggs, sugar, butter, flour, fruits, nuts, chocolate, tea, coffee, herbs and spices, maple syrup and honey. I think I covered everything available in a patisserie.
4. What would you do if you became a billionaire?
-Acquire three houses fitted with the best kitchen appliances and ingredients. One in the city, one in the countryside, and one by the beach.
-Build an animal shelter and an animal rescue center.
-Open an old-fashioned little tea and cakes parlour (fine bone china, wallpaper and all the trimmings).
-Travel, travel, travel.
5. Where have you lived?
Firstly, Jakarta, Indonesia. This is where I was born. I was sent away to Singapore to get a better education when I was 9 years old, and it became my home for 9 years. I left it when I turned 18 to come to Melbourne, Australia, and this is where I am now.
6. What jobs have you had?
-My first real job was as a sales assistant at David Jones (one of the largest department store in Australia), where I sold high-end fashion to rich snooty old women who were extremely rude and condescending. I worked there part-time while doing the final year of my bachelor's degree in fashion design.
-I currently work as a part-time Commis Pastry Chef in a restaurant.
Now, if you are still with me, thank you for reading!

- About Us
Originally published in the 1884 edition of the "The Fisheries and Fishery Industries of the United States", this reproduction print of the Butterfish and Log-Fish was drawn by H.L. Todd. It was part of the first book in a multi-volume series produced by George Brown Goode, the famed ichthyologist (fish scientist), Smithsonian museum administrator, and U.S. Fish Commissioner. He managed a large staff of scientists, researchers, and clerical employees to produce this monumental work on American Fisheries. We are happy to make available the amazingly detailed drawings included in the first volume of the series as reproduction prints.
Reproduction Print - A Fine Art Paper print from a high-resolution scan of the original print. It is an exact replica, with all the character and detail, but on our heavyweight archival paper and inks.

Write complex Android app based on prototype
Budget $250-750 USD
Need a developer to work on my app which consist of complex coding and tons of math.
The app lets users use their smartphones TOUCH FREE.
Please, read the description and let me know how do you think you will be able to overcome all the challenges?
The app uses frontal camera of the phone and locates user's eyes and using the algorithm, "sees" where user is looking at the screen.
The app can also see when user is blinking, therefore when user blinks, phone registers it as a tap.
For example: user is looking at the Facebook icon, blinks and it opens.
I currently have a prototype: it can detect eye pupils, knows where user is looking and can open apps. BUT there are several problems:
1) it works only on Android 5 and lower now.
2) it takes a lot of time for the process; it takes many tries to actually open the app.
3) it only works on the homescreen, but as soon as you open the app it doesn't work anymore, so you can't open tabs or links.
4) Programmer needs to figure how to make it work in low lights, under angles etc.
I sometimes refer it to "technology" rather than an app because it is quite complex.
So overall I want it to work fast, make it work for Android 7 and make it able to work "inside" apps.

Create a Tidy Open Closet (Without Tossing All of Your Clothes!)
Do you roll your eyes at those staged closets in catalogs with their 4 dresses and 2 pairs of shoes? If you don't have enough closets — or any — you can still create a tidy exposed closet without getting rid of your wardrobe.
Matchy, matchy. When your closet is exposed for all to see, the easiest way to create a seamless look is to have matching storage solutions. Shoe boxes, hangers, shelves, etc, should match each other, if not follow one color scheme. Those wood hangers are lovely, but if you're a clothes horse, go for some slim versions or ones that do double-duty. This closet from A Gift Wrapped Life sticks to an all-white color palette that showcases the clothes.
Get Creative. Sandy, a 2011 Small Cool entrant, thinks beyond the rod and uses hangers for displaying favorite items outside of her clothes nook. I created scarf storage from unused space behind my bedroom door. Maybe you have a lot of hats or shoes — find a way to feature them.
Edit. I know I said you wouldn't be tossing clothes, but if you're not wearing it, it's just taking up precious space and creating visual clutter. Donate it, swap it, get it out. If it's seasonal and you'll wear it next year, shrink it in vacuum storage bags or stash it in suitcases. Take a tip from Alana from Good Girl Gone Blog: She has a closet, but stores her in-season clothes in the open for easy access.
Like with like. Laura is a professional organizer, so you can trust her technique. Her open closet is arranged with by like items and grouped by color. Even before getting rid of anything or swapping out mismatched hangers, this will improve the appearance of your closet.

Stay Sharp: The Best Knife Sharpeners
A knife is one of the most important tools in the kitchen and it's extremely important to keep them sharp. Keeping your knives as sharp as possible as often as possible will ensure you make the most precise cuts and the finest chops. Some keep it old school with the sharpening method but we're huge fans of electric sharpeners. We've found five of the top knife sharpeners.
• Edgeware Ceramic Electric Knife & Scissor Sharpener, $149.95 at Williams Sonoma: Features two extra-fine interlocking ceramic wheels that sharpen both sides of a straight-edge blade simultaneously. Includes two manual slots; one made with cabide blades and one with ceramic stones for serrated blades.
• Presto Pro EverSharp Electric Knife Sharpener, $29.95 at Amazon: Uses professional grade sapphirite sharpening wheels to ensure the sharpest blade using a two step process. The small body makes it easy to store away in the kitchen and it comes with a 1 year warranty.
• Two Stage Knife Sharpener, at WUSTHOF: This old school style knife sharpener works in the standard two stages. Step one uses diamond rods to sharpen the dull blade while step two uses ceramic rods to hone and finish the edge. There's also a scissor sharpener!
• Chef's Choice M130 Professional Sharpening Station, $149.95: It may not be the prettiest knife sharpener on the market, but you know what, that doesn't always matter. Sharpens both fine edge and serrated blades through the use of diamond edges and steel.
• Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener, $19.85 at Amazon: We were initially attracted to appearance of this sharpener and once we read the reviews and description we were sold. This sharpener works for both right and left handed people and works in two ways; one for coarse and one for fine sharpening. Includes rubber feet to avoid slipping on the countertop.

On-the-Job Training National Emergency Grants
On June 25, 2010, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis announced the award of $75 million to 41 states, three federally recognized Tribes, and the District of Columbia to provide workers affected by layoffs with on-the-job training (OJT) opportunities. These grants were funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) with an initial period of performance of two years. All ARRA funded OJT grants expired September 30, 2012.
On June 30, 2012, 14 states (CA, CO, FL, ID, MA, MI, MO, MT, NH, NM, NY, PA, WA, and WI) received an additional $26 million in Workforce Investment Act Dislocated Worker Reserve National Emergency Grant (NEG) funds to continue OJT activities. The period of performance for these grants (referred to as OJT NEG) is June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2014 (with the exception of Florida, which only requested a period of performance to June 30, 2013).
OJTNEG grants provide on-the-job-training opportunities to thousands of unemployed Americans while building the capacity of the workforce investment system and assisting in economic recovery. OJT participants are given a chance to "earn and learn," developing applicable occupational skills while earning a paycheck. Employers participating in OJT projects receive partial reimbursement to offset the extraordinary cost of training workers. OJT assists workers become proficient in needed skills quickly, encouraging employers to hire workers sooner than perhaps initially planned, facilitating private sector hiring and spurring economic growth.
The links below provide additional information for the OJT NEG grantee community.

Business believes the central bank must cut the official cash rate at its final board meeting for the year because the economy is hurting across the board.
The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) board meets in Sydney on Tuesday, and financial markets are betting on a strong chance of a 25 basis points reduction in the cash rate to three per cent.
This would be the lowest level since the depths of the 2008-2009 global financial crisis.
It will also be the last chance of a reduction until the board meets again in February.
Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) chief economist Greg Evans said a rate cut was needed now, and again early next year.
"Clearly the mainstream economy urgently needs further stimulus in the way of an interest rate cut," Mr Evans told reporters in Canberra on Monday.
"There is barely an area in the mainstream economy that you would say is trading without difficulty."
The ACCI's demand was backed up by a string of data on Monday suggesting the economy was in desperate need of a further boost: flat retail spending, tumbling company profits, falling demand for workers and a further contraction in manufacturing.
One positive was an unexpected jump in business inventories - stock on shelves or in warehouses - which should contribute to the growth result in Wednesday's quarterly national accounts report.
But even then it was not clear whether this was an intended build-up of stock, or unintended because of slack demand.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics said retail spending in October was barely changed from September at $21.6 billion, while growth declined in all sectors apart from food retailing.
"There needs to be an interest rate cut tomorrow in order to stimulate consumers and ensure any available cash is put into their pockets in the lead-up to Christmas," Australian Retailers Association executive director Russell Zimmerman said in a statement.
Business hiring intentions also continue to slide, with the ANZ job advertisement series declining a further 2.9 per cent in November to be 17 per cent lower in the past year.
"Without a solid pick-up in the non-mining sectors as the mining investment boom winds back through 2013, the unemployment rate is set to drift higher to 5.75 per cent by mid-2013," ANZ's head of economics Ivan Colhoun said.
"Without further monetary policy easing, the unemployment rate may rise towards six per cent by the end of 2013."
At least one other private survey indicated inflation won't stand in the way of a rate cut.
The TD Securities inflation gauge for November fell 0.1 per cent for an annual rate of 2.5 per cent, and smack in the middle of the RBA's two to three target band.
The impact of the federal government's carbon tax since July 1 has barely registered.
"The evidence just continues to pile up that (Opposition Leader) Tony Abbott's irresponsible carbon scare campaign has run out of puff," Treasurer Wayne Swan said in a statement.
But shadow treasurer Joe Hockey said the weak spread of data just highlighted the unnecessary pressure consumers and business were being put under as a result of "Labor's chaotic economic management".

Why Study Southern Italian Wine?
Scuola Di Vino
Not all beverages are created equal. Water is essential to life. Beer refreshes, relaxes. Coffee excites, motivates. Factory-produced soft drinks stimulate the body through refined sugars, reoriented the taste buds towards the pursuit of more sweetness. Tea made at a high level can reveal agricultural practices, worldview, even location (It's not incidental that matcha comes from Japan, a culture that famously blurs the line between connoisseurship and fetishism in what it consumes).
And then there is wine.
It's a liquid so precise in its flavours that a well-trained mouth can sense which plant surrendered its grapes to produce it, where that plant was located, in which country, region, village, who made it, how, whether he or she stored it in stainless steel, wood, concrete or simply put it into the bottle early, and even the year the those grapes lived their brief life.
It's nothing short of remarkable.
Like art, literature, travel, it's how much of the world seeks pleasure. I don't mean to say in its refreshment, calories or even alcohol, but in appreciating the subtle differences inherent in the glass. Want to understand a specific place in Western civilization? Start with its wine: much can be learned. Does a culture seek subtle refinement? Bravado? Cultural legitimacy? All of this is contained in its wine, as sure as reading the plaques on its monuments.
But all of this is an argument in favour of getting to know wine in general. And all of the above is also true of Southern Italian wine, only more so. The South is where Italian wine started. It's where it's had the longest history, the most time for the proper grapes to find the proper sites. And the local food has grown up next to- and has been informed by- the local wine, longer than anywhere else in all of Italy.
However compelling this history, the modern is even more so.
Depending on how you view acts of government, laws were passed nationally in 1982 rendering it illegal to chapilitize Italian wine -with exceptions made in fortified and traditionally-made sparking wines, the practice known as 'lo zuccheraggio' in Italian. (Even today, wineries must report all table sugar that enters the winery, even the tiny little packets of cane sugar stirred into plastic cups in front of the espresso machine).
Those that see the world as painfully benevolent insist that the laws were passed to create a ready market for Southern Italian wine, which enjoys full ripeness, year after year. And that these southern producers could then sell their high alcohol wines to Northern Italian wineries, who often lack the body due to elevation and the more northerly climes, to round out their biological shortcomings. Put another way, many, many northern Italian wines would be thin, weak and pathetic if their producers didn't 'cut' them with Southern Italian wine, right in the winery. Not only is this widely done, it's perfectly legal.
Others, myself included, would see the law as the modern version of sharecropping, where the underpaid southern agrarian worker sells off his product to Northerners, who inevitably earn a great deal more on the transaction.
Why is this compelling to you? Because in the last ten years, this is changing faster than any of us thought possible. In most parts of the south, the abandonement of the 'cutting wine' market and the adoption of modern technique is happening within a handful of years.
The results can be stunning.
Take nerello mascalese, a finicky diva of a red grape grown on the active volcano of Etna on the island of Sicily. As you go up the volcano, the grapes ripen later and later into the year. The fact that the soil is the product of millions of years of lava flow means that every patch is composed of slightly different minerals. Combine, finicky red grape (think 'pinot noir') with ripening rings that dictate weeks or even months of different harvest dates, coupled with the strikingly archaeologically-different soils, plot after plot, it makes for one of the most intriguing wines in the world.
Or take Calabria's gaglioppo, again a late to ripen grape that thrives for months without rain, making the wine that used to legally round out Barolo and Barbaresco. Modern producers are now 'over'-macerating the pulp with the skins, making rough and mouth-searing wines, that when given years in the bottle to mellow, are unlike any other wine on earth. They are mysterious, haunting, like fruits ripening right under your nose, the way colours change in a prism.
Or take Basilicata's Aglianico, grown on the spent volcano of Vulture, a stunningly beautiful mountain that looks like God bred the Mediterranean with the mountains of Switzerland. Giant, brooding, dark and almost menacing in the glass, it's one of the world's great varietals, perfect for your next high-end steak. Or to lay down for your children's wedding and graduations.
Or the salty whites of the west coast of Sicily, where the wind and almost African sun have dehydrated sea water for so long that the soil itself is salty, producing whites that make your mouth gush with saliva, first sip. They're refreshing, immediate and go with seafood in ways that few other wines do.
And why have you never heard of these grapes? Why have you only thought of Southern Italian as bargain Tuesday night wines?
I don't know, but it's my life's work to change this. And it's why I created our wine programme. It's why I bicycle the entire south of Italy each year, tasting and tasting and tasting.
I'd love to pour these wines for you, to show you this part of the world is so very special.

..and back up
I've been feeling much much more positive the last couple of days. I don't know what happened last weekend, some sort of meltdown. I guess that's ok. I'd had a hard week last week, we had a big photo shoot happening at work Thursday/Friday and that took most of my energy to organise and carry out. Maybe I'd just had enough by the time the weekend came around, both in body and spirit. I always think that it's ok to have little wobbles, as long as you don't stay down for too long. So I am up again and ready to move forward. Currently enjoying a rare peaceful evening on my own in the flat, tucking into a jar of Nutella. Dangerous!! Flare-wise, my feet feel much better and haven't hurt for a few days. My hand is still a bit swollen, but it's much better than it was at the weekend. I'm going to wait and see how the rest of the week goes, I have hope that with my renewed positive and stress-free attitude things will improve. I am getting my final vaccine for Peru tomorrow - yellow fever! It's a live vaccine so maybe my immune system will busy itself with creating anti-bodies and leave my joints alone. Hope you all have a restful happy weekend!

Harrell's LLC, a Lakeland-based producer and distributor of fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals, has agreed to pay more than $1.7 million in civil penalties on federal charges, including distributing and selling mislabeled pesticides.
WINTER HAVEN | Harrell's LLC, a Lakeland-based producer and distributor of fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals, has agreed to pay more than $1.7 million in civil penalties on federal charges, including distributing and selling mislabeled pesticides.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced the agreement Friday in a news release and called the fine "one of the largest ever for an enforcement case" under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
The EPA alleged Harrell's distributed or sold pesticides without labels or with labels that were completely illegible more than 350 times between 2010 and 2012, according to the statement. It also alleged the company continued to sell or distribute the pesticides in violation of an EPA "stop sale" order and �produced large amounts of pesticides over several years at its Alabama facility before registering with EPA.
The agency discovered the violations during field inspections conducted in 2012, the statement said.
"The law requires that pesticides be labeled to help prevent any harm to people and the environment," said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator of EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. "Pesticides can be highly toxic to fish and other wildlife and can contaminate our drinking water. Proper labeling is critical to ensure that people know how to use them correctly and safely."
In addition to producing its own pesticides, Harrell's also makes and sells pesticides registered to other companies as a supplemental distributor, the EPA statement said. The EPA focused enforcement efforts in this area after finding pesticides produced and sold by supplemental distributors often have labels lacking critical information required by law, which increases the risk of harm from potential misuse of the product.
The company has corrected all violations, the statement said.
"We are pleased this matter has been resolved," said Tina Newberry, the company's marketing manager, in an email statement to The Ledger.
"Harrell's fully cooperated with EPA and state authorities to resolve this matter in a constructive manner. This matter did not involve harm to human health or the environment."
Harrell's is committed to complying with the law and "has further reviewed and strengthened its environmental compliance program," she said in the statement.
Newberry declined to comment on questions from The Ledger, including whether the company admitted to selling pesticides with missing or illegible labels and ignored the EPA stop sale order. She also declined to state whether payment of the fine constitutes the company's admission that it violated the federal pesticide law.
Harrell's is one of the nation's largest distributors of branded fungicides, herbicides and insecticides, according to the company statement. It produces custom-blended fertilizers, pesticides and other chemical products for the golf course, sports turf, landscape management and horticulture industries.
The company began in 1941, when Ormond and Lucile Harrell purchased a downtown Lakeland feed store, according to Harrell's website.
During the next 25 years, it opened stores in Lakeland, Winter Haven, Largo and Madeira Beach for gardening, lawn and landscape, farming and ranching customers. It got into serving the golf course industry in the 1960s.
Harrell's opened its first fertilizer manufacturing plant in Lakeland in 1985 and began shutting its retail stores to concentrate on fertilizer manufacturing. It no longer sells directly to individual consumers or retail stores.
In 1994, the company started a nursery products business followed by a sports turf products division in the early 2000s.
The company also operates a fertilizer manufacturing plant in Sylacauga, Ala., and has 13 offices and warehouses in the eastern United States and as far west as Chicago.
Harrell's employs more than 250 people and produces more than 40,000 tons of custom-blend fertilizers annually.
It has more than 10,000 customers in the eastern U.S., across the Caribbean, and in Central and South America, the Middle East and the Pacific Rim.
The website has no sales or other financial information for the private company run by CEO Jack Harrell Jr., the grandson of the founders.

Veal producer PALI Group from 's-Hertogenbosch and tannery Rompa Leather from Rijen, both in The Netherlands, will together re-start Hulshof Royal Dutch Tanneries in Lichtenvoorde which was declared bankrupt in November 2013. To this end, they have founded the joint venture ROMPA Tanneries.
The PALI Group hereby takes the next step in the chain. Optimum control of the entire production chain demands a highly integrated structure. Everything from the purchase of calves to their slaughter takes place under management of the family company Paridaans (founded in 1959, 2nd generation). Vitelco, part of the PALI Group, is one of the largest calf slaughterhouses in the world and provides calf skins that are a by-product of the slaughter process. Processing the fresh skins into wet-blue in Lichtenvoorde avoids having to salt and then later de-salt them. This saves costs and reduces the burden on the environment.
Rompa Leather, also a family business (founded in 1906, 4th generation), is a producer of high-quality leather for the shoe, furniture and leather goods industries. Since the 1980s, this production has been on the basis of wet-blue, a semi-manufactured product in tanning. However the restart of the tannery in Lichtenvoorde provides the opportunity to once again carry out the entire tanning process in house.
ROMPA Tanneries will continue and further expand on both the quality and the green image that Hulshof so successfully developed. Finished products will be developed and manufactured including calf wet-blue from Vitelco, bull wet-blue and crust for the benefit of sales to third parties. The biodegradable leather concept will be further developed so that wet-green or wet-white calf and bull skins also become an option. Finally, contract tanning, re-tanning and finishing will be facilitated for third parties.
ROMPA Tanneries in Lichtenvoorde will undergo a phased start beginning with the beamhouse and the re-tanning, the first two phases of the tanning process. The finishing department where the skins undergo their final processing will follow at a later date. These positions will, in as far as possible, be fulfilled by the experienced staff of Hulshof.

Don't direct your advice to me. I don't need your attitude. And your double standard , better called hypocrisy, stinks.
Antonious I know you didn't jump to any conclustions, but Stavro did. And my post that you quoted was addressed to Stavro.
I'm with the camp of 13 million Americans that believe politicians are, or are controlled by, Reptilians. I think only monks can solve this problem. It doesn't seem right that they prefer to ignore it.
Ben,try reading any post by Linus about the Coptic Church, for example. Your double standard is amplified when you insult me, but jump very quick to point what you perceive as an insult. And in the end, you are right, maybe Anastasios did not take enough actions.Just asking for a clarification for an obvious racist comment is disappointing, but expected. And again:"Do not direct your posts to me". This should be simple to understand. I don't see a reason and there is no motive to communicate with you.
Man, this forum has become little more than a battle royale..... The Oriental Orthodox really need a place where we can post in peace and not always have to debate Chalcedon.
I wish so always. There are forums devoted to Coptic Orthodox like coptichymns but I like having a mix of folk, but not all this aggression. I don't see why we can't post from our pov (and we know it is our pov and is not accepted by everyone) but why can't we post from our pov without having Byzantine opinion thrust down our throats. I already know the Byzantine POVCould you not introduce a filter so that posts would not display from people in a personal list?
Linus, why do you feel the need to monitor what we say? You know that this folder is for Non-Chalcedonian discussion. You know that views will be expressed here with which you do not agree. What good will your attempts to police us do?You act as if this is an Eastern Orthodox forum, and we are merely tolerated guests. This is not the case. Your views are obviously in contradiction to those of the administrators and moderators, who have stated that this is merely an Orthodox forum, and they include us in that definition.
Given that this board is what you say it is, why should you expect no posts from Eastern Orthodox, especially when one of your own speaks of us ramming our viewpoint down your throats?It seems to me that if you really wish not to hear from the Eastern Orthodox, you should post only on an exclusively Non-Chalcedonian web site.Since this web site is, as you insist it is, so inclusive, you must expect the others here to post sometimes.
They do. Sometimes they agree with us, sometimes they contradict us. No problem. Its your attitude buddy. That's the problem. How many have to say that to you for you to get it?
You misunderstand my attitude, which you cannot possibly know unless you are a mind reader.
Not a mind reader, just a reader. Granted, the internet has certain limitations, and you may have been misunderstood in some cases, but the written word can carry a lot of "tone" and "attitude" with it. It is quite an effective mode of communication. Now let me put my Karnak hat on and see what kind of read I'm getting on you...Hiyo!
You're right about that.I really have a difficult time detecting an arrogant tone in what I post, although you obviously think it's there.I just post what I believe to be true.Most of the time I don't have enough time to soften it up or re-read it over and over to remove anything possibly offensive.I strive to stick with opposition to the arguments of others rather than to their persons.What I write will often offend those who disagree with me.I don't think that can always be helped.

Your factory has an automated shipping dock system with 10 bays. A conveyor system feeds these bays with a chute to each bay. When the chute for a bay is full, the indicator light outside the bay door turns from red to green so truck drivers know which bay to pull up to.
You come in on second shift to find a note that says the Bay 6 light never turns green when the bay is full. The tech tied back the position switch to simulate full, and the PLC console showed the appropriate response but no green light.
What's your next step?
First, determine if the red light goes off during a simulation. If it does, then swap the red and green lamps to check the green lamp. If the green lamp doesn't light, replace it — problem solved.
If the red light stays on, then the change in the PLC isn't being communicated to the indicator lamps. This could be due to a problem in the output module, the wiring, or both. Check the module status lights to see if the output matches the PLC display (red light off, green light on).
What should you do until you find the problem? Here are the steps you need to take:
- Check the module fuse.
- Verify correct loop power is present.
- Disconnect the field wiring and simulate the loads (an indicating lamp or DMM will do, since the loads are indicating lamps) at the module.
- Ohm-check the field wiring, to check its integrity.

The Rose legacy
"The greatest accomplishments of JMU are the enriched lives and enhanced intellects and talents of the students who become JMU graduates. The lives they lead, the values they teach others, the contributions they make to our future are far more meaningful than what is often quantified as a measure of success. Dr. Rose knew this and has, in his blood, an unshakable commitment to a high–quality undergraduate experience." — Meredith Strohm Gunter, former JMU Board of Visitors rector
During the 14–year tenure of President Linwood H. Rose, JMU's growth has been phenomenal. Rose conferred 56,893 degrees as president, a number that represents almost half of all the degrees conferred at Madison — 123,486 — since 1911. That's a lot of graduation handshakes, personal stories and JMU successes.
Enrollment has increased exponentially, along with a corresponding growth in academic programs and campus. Through all of these upward pressures, Madison academic excellence has outpaced growth. Teaching remains the No. 1 priority of the faculty. The student–to–faculty ratio has improved from 19.2:1 in 1998 to 16:1 today — no mean feat of presidential leadership in the face of such growth. Phi Beta Kappa has just marked its third year on campus. The honors program has intensified. The number of residential learning communities has increased. JMU has reached the top 10 nationally for graduation rates. Traditionally strong faculty scholarship, research and artistry have entered a new order of magnitude. And so have mentored undergraduate research experiences, hands–on internships, student–teaching placements and service–learning opportunities, which number in the thousands each year.
President Rose's most profound accomplishment, however, might just have been his first — bringing the entire university around a strong, clear–cut, inspiring mission statement: "We are a community committed to preparing students to be educated and enlightened citizens who lead productive and meaningful lives."
The mighty academic, social and personal implications of that statement have powered an era. Those words have fueled the intellect, the compassion and the enthusiasm of professors, staff members, students, alumni, donors and friends who know they are on this planet for reasons beyond their own well being: To do more. To transcend the mundane. To change the status quo. To touch lives. To Be the Change.
During Rose's tenure, students, professors, alumni and staff members responded with numerous individual, group and campuswide efforts to national tragedies like Sept. 11, 2001, Hurricane Katrina and the Virginia Tech shootings. Quiet, unlauded Be the Change moments also happen in the classroom and through service to others — proving that Madison is a community that cares about the needs of others. This societal awareness is no accident.
The president has steered the university firmly toward developing programs that benefit the public good. He has personally championed the value of higher education as the key to producing an enlightened citizenry who can sustain democracy and solve its greatest issues. Rose has helped JMU solidify a position of national prominence and established JMU as a leader in institutional performance measurement, accountability and assessment of student learning.
All the while, Madison's intimate atmosphere persists. JMU students' overall satisfaction with the university has increased from 92 percent to 97 percent, and students who report that they are satisfied with the university's concern for them as individuals has increased from 72 percent in 1998 to 88 percent today.
Steady, attentive to detail, quiet and uncomfortable with what he considers undue personal attention, Rose has created the framework for the Madison community to thrive and prefers to let the evidence of success — and more importantly, the success of others — speak for itself.
President Rose said in his inaugural address that the JMU presidency is the best one in the nation.

Cleanlinessprevious next
Also: Purity
Cleanliness refers not only to the way we tend to our hygiene, but also to the care we take to maintain and cherish all aspects of our environments (inner and outer) within our control.
Cleanliness is often a daily ritual in the house and soul of setting things to rights, whether they are dishes, tools, or conscience. It may refer to purging ourselves of the clutter and other impediments that prevent us from moving forward with our work and play. The act of being cleanly does not refer to being "spotless", but to the art of moving through the day making choices that increase the well-being and functionality of ourselves and those around us.

Armour has a downside as well, being bulky it lowers you chance at agility checks, and with dodge rolls (ie, your defensive roll to avoid being hit). So while you will take less damage per hit, you will be hit more often. Armour can also be bypassed by "armour piercing" attacks, such as gunpowder, a crossbow or the like.
This means you may wish to change your armouring based upon the conflict. If you are fighting a swarm of nimble goblins with small knives and clubs, then heavy armour is a good idea. Even if they hit you more, their feeble blows will almost never bypass your armour.
Compare that to fighting a giant, the lumbering brute will hit with such force and damage that the armour will not do much (if any) good..but if you are nimble and quick you have a good shot at never having a single blow land against you.
Now originally I had custom listing of armours each with their own (arbitrary) DR reduction scores versus pierce, blunt and slash attacks as well as their own dodge modifiers and the like.
That irritated me, as historical armours were built to counter historical arms and equipment. When faced with new dangers and new biology's of the wearers, armour could look very different. If you aren't primarily concerned with stopping arrows but troll claws, how would the armour differ? What about if your vital organs are in your lower gut and nothing is really in your upper torso?
For this reason I used a similar system to weapon tags. Armour is selected as a type (light, mail and plate) and then tags with their modifiers to the weapons stats are used.
So light armour has a DR of 1 as a base and a dodge modifier of 0. If the armour is also
A listing how historical armours would break down is still included.
Why is this good?
In terms of the concept of avoid being hit VS ignore damage is a good example of having a choice and no "right" answer, only better situational answers.
The benefit of the tag system is that it removes the need to memorize the abilities of a myriad of different armour types. You can also limit it to "tag-less" if you want to trim the rules down more to something simple and easy to remember.
Why is this bad?
Sometimes you WANT a holy grail of armour, the worlds best system that you want everyone to strive for (such as power armour in most sci-fi games), or you simply enjoy having lists and tables of armour types (nostalgia is a powerful thing, I admit it influences me quite often).
