As the drinks supply chain looks at how it can start to bring its people back together again Richard Siddle talks to Craig Durham, head of Buckingham Schenk, about how it has managed to keep the majority of its team working through Covid-19, and how, as the UK arm of the Schenk Group, the major international producer, it has worked with the company's teams across Europe to give its customers the best service it can and is very much on the front foot coming out of lockdown.
The dearth of quality still wines made in England, compared to sparkling wine, is down to which varieties were planted early on and which clones, argues Lyme Bay Winery's managing director James Lambert. There are signs that is changing with winemakers looking much closer at clone selection, however, with the cost of making all English wines so expensive, the industry needs to work together to ensure that the end product is priced sustainably and able to offer genuine value in the marketplace.
When the invite came through to help take part in the judging and blending of the new La Única project from Felix Solis I took a double take. The time and date was for an actual venue alongside other people, rather than sit in on a Zoom tasting. But when I nervously arrived at Camino in Kings Cross to take part there, as well as my fellow real life tasters, was a large screen with not just one Zoom tasting taking place, but five others simultaneously happening in China, Germany and Spain. Welcome to the new normal of virtual, and actual wine tastings. Here Richard Cochrane, head of Félix Solís in the UK, explains how La Única concept works and why it wanted to make it a global online event.
Too many people pigeonhole Argentinian wines as being just about Malbec and Torontes, says Matias Riccitelli, who tells Justin Keay that his winemaking philosophy is driven by the need to show off a different face of his country's viticulture. Through the 25 wines he makes in Mendoza and the few in Patagonia, including a superb old vine Semillon, Riccitelli is being recognised as a great alchemist, working with a wide range of varietals, vessels and techniques to make some of Argentina's most exciting new wines.
Winemakers, producers, importers, retailers and restaurateurs have all had to step out from behind the curtain during Covid-19 to take their turn to go online, turn on Zoom or go live on Instagram in order to be able to keep telling their stories during lockdown. But none have been quite so prolific as Katie Jones who has created her own version of a breakfast TV show with her daily walks through the small plots of land that make up Domaine Jones in the heart of the Languedoc – taking a loyal and growing community of trade customers and consumers with her. Here she talks to Richard Siddle, in the latest video interview on The Buyer, about why and how she has turned so much to social media during the crisis, and how it is now going to be very much part of how she does business post lockdown too. In so doing she has also shown the way forward for other producers and drinks businesses to use social media, and Instagram Live in particular. Which makes her a very worthy second recipient of The Buyer's 'Raise a Glass To' award to highlight people who have gone way beyond the norm during Covid-19…here's her story.
Regardless of what part of the world and sector of the drinks, retail or hospitality industries you work in, we've all had to find ways to adapt and self motivate ourselves to get through the Covid-19 lockdown. For Pier Sfriso and Reka Haros, the winemaking couple who run a small family winery in Treviso, northern Italy, it meant they were faced with 1,000s of bottles of unsold wine. So what did they do? They started a competition calling on designers to come up with label they could use to help promote and sell 6,000 bottles of Prosecco. It has resulted in hundreds of entries. Now they are calling on anyone in the trade to cast their vote for the designs they have shortlisted. Here Reka Haros shares their story and how the reaction to the competition has helped raise their spirits at such a difficult time.
As we all start to take serious steps of coming out of lockdown, The Buyer has switched its Covid-19 Hub updates service to a new weekly format to help the trade keep up to date with the very latest activity, trends and insights across the drinks, retail and hospitality sectors as momentum builds towards opening up more areas of business we will look to share more knowledge and tools to help you do that. This is Part Eight of The Buyer's Covid-19 blog kicking off all the activity in what is going to be a vital month for the UK drinks and hospitality sectors.
Innovation in Spanish winemaking is not just reserved for the new wave of artisan winemakers. Ramón Bilbao proves once again with its new Rueda Sauvignon Blanc that a big player can just as easily throw away the rulebook. Hailing from its shiny new winery La Finca Las Medias, winemaker Sara Bañuelos, has been given licence to thrill with an SB/ Verdejo blend but even more interestingly a 100% single varietal Sauvignon Blanc. David Kermode picks up the story.

The opportunity to buy quality, but also value for money wines from the US has never been greater. Not only do producers have plenty of wine to sell, and an over supplied US market to trade in, they are actively looking to export. Combine that with the ambition of a major US distributor – T Edward Wines & Spirits – that also makes wines from all over the world and is actively looking to export and work in the UK, with wines at the price points buyers are looking for, then you have a very winning combination. Here's international export sales manager, David Hautzig to explain more.
When was the last time you went out of your way to order, buy or drink a Dolcetto wine? With so much competition from other Italian classic grape varieties it has plummeted down the popularity stakes for many years, overtaken in its homeland of Piedmonte by Nebbiolo, in particular, and the Barolo and Barbaresco wines it makes. But sommelier Mattia Scarpazza believes the best quality Dolcetto wines, made from the DOCG vines, are very much worth a second look.
Australia was the toast of the 2020 London Wine Competition awards both in terms of the number of wines entered and the best achieving results with d'Arenberg in the McLaren Vale picking up both the Winery of the Year award and Wine Of The Year for its The Dead Arm Shiraz 2017. In all over 1,000 wines were entered from a record 43 countries. The competition is unique in that wines are based on their quality, price and design and packaging.
Sun is good for grapes but bad for wine – the effect of sunlight on wine, particularly those in clear glass bottles, has been under-estimated for too long. Preventing this with a revolutionary new 'second skin' case is one of the drivers behind Maison Ruinart's decision to ditch its gift boxes and replace it with paper maché-like packaging. Anne Krebiehl MW hears from Frédéric Panaïotis, Ruinart's chef de cave, about the additional ecological and cost benefits.
Wine faults in clear glass bottles are 20 times more prevalent than cork taint, says Nyetimber winemaker Brad Greatrix, and yet producers who fill into clear glass seem to be oblivious to the harms of lightstrike or are purposely putting their head in the sand. The greatest losers are consumers, however, who have no idea about the potential harm of lightstrike when they buy a bottle of sparkling or rosé wine – the categories most affected. In this thorough and hard-hitting opinion piece, Greatrix explains how lightstrike works and what must be done to prevent it, all the way through the supply chain.
The Covid-19 pandemic has for so many people around the world been the most challenging and damaging time both in their working and their personal lives. But it has also been a uniquely inspiring few months as individuals and businesses have stepped up to the mark and gone way and beyond to help others in their industry get through this extraordinary period. Those are the people The Buyer wants to highlight and show our appreciation for in our new 'Raise a Glass To' series where we can all collectively stop and pay our respects to their achievements and actions during the pandemic. Starting here today with Rico Basson, managing director of Vinpro, who has led the South African wine industry through its huge difficulties during the lockdown.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has hit the drinks and wine industry the world over. None more so than in South Africa which is again going through a national lockdown of all domestic wine sales with potentially a devastating impact on the country's wine network. It has also made wine businesses think and act differently, particularly with the boom in online sales. In keeping with that new spirit of innovation, creativity and collaboration, three South African wine producers – Bruce Jack of Bruce Jack Wines, Ross Sleet of Rascallion Wine and De Villiers Graaff of De Grendel wines – have come together to launch a new, and potentially unique direct to consumer concept for the wine industry. Together they have set up a non-for-profit platform called Mind Map Wine Company that they are launching in the UK to act not as a competitor to their usual retail and on-trade channels to market, but to be an active partner to them, helping to raise the awareness of their brands and connect directly and with consumers. They hope to sign up more like-minded producers from around the world to join them in the months ahead. In our latest The Buyer video interview Richard Siddle caught up with Bruce Jack and Ross Sleet to talk through the new DTC platform, but also assess the current state and impact of the South African domestic wine lockdown.
Bernhard Bredell was named Young Winemaker of the Year in Tim Atkin's South Africa 2019 Special Report, a reflection of the amount of heads he's turned since 2016 when he set up the Scions of Sinai label, and also down to the quality of the wines, in particular the single vineyard Swanesang which is made from the last standing bushvines of Syrah in the Helderberg district of Stellenbosch. Emerging Wine Writer of the Year, Malu Lambert, visited him after Lockdown and tasted through the range.
Greta Thunberg is too young to drink, of course, but when she does she'll probably reach for a bottle of Portuguese wine imported by Xisto Wines. For while reducing carbon emissions is high on the agenda of most respecting drinks companies, Bristol-based Xisto has taken it one step further. Part of its Circle of Zero Waste philosophy is to sail artisanal wines in traditional cargo ships from Porto to Bristol in barrels, bottle them using re-purposed Espumante bottles and deliver without using plastic or fossil fuel. Peter Dean caught up with Xisto after its first voyage into London Docks.
As we all start to take serious steps of coming out of lockdown, The Buyer has switched its Covid-19 Hub updates service to a new weekly format to help the trade keep up to date with the very latest activity, trends and insights across the drinks, retail and hospitality sectors as momentum builds towards opening up more areas of business we will look to share more knowledge and tools to help you do that. This is Part Seven of The Buyer's Covid-19 blog kicking off all the activity in what is going to be a vital month for the UK drinks and hospitality sectors.
If you've ventured out into social media this week then there's really only been one wine story to bother yourself with. No, not how the wine industry is tackling this global pandemic, but rather the Twitter furore there has been over Hollywood A lister Cameron Diaz deciding this is the moment the world needs to know all about her new 'clean wine' brand – Avaline. Here Joe Fattorini – in his typically brilliant, biting and witty way – takes the Diaz naysayers to task and makes the case for why Diaz and her 'clean wine' is actually marketing genius.

When my son was a little guy and we began homeschool- ing, I poured over home- school magazines, surfedthe Internet for hours, joined forums andYahoo groups, and asked every homeschoolmom I encountered a million questionsabout curriculum, homeschool methodol-ogy, and schedules. If I was going to homeschool my bright,active, curious little boy, I was going to do itup right. So, by the time he was in the sec-ond grade, I had spent literally thousandsof dollars. And we were miserable. My sonwas bored.
I found myself with a seven-year-old
who was constantly fighting me about doing school, and I was selling as much curriculum as I purchased. I felt like a complete failure as I watched curiosity quickly
Then one day, while learning about Mexico, I saw that once familiar spark return
when we began studying about the monarch butterfly.
Where else do butterflies live, Momma?
What other kinds are there?
Can we catch some?
Are they at the zoo? Can we grow some? "The cure for boredom is curiosity. Thereis no cure for curiosity." (Dorothy Parker)
My initial inclination was to grab a couple of books from the library and then move
on to China. China was on the lesson plan.
We had already fallen off our lesson when
this same curiosity sprang up about beavers. There wasn't time for butterflies now!
But something spoke to me, telling me tostop for a moment. I had not seen my sonthis excited about learning in quite sometime. I decided to put the lesson plan asideand spend some time learning more aboutbutterflies. We read books.
We ordered caterpillars.
We visited the butterfly area of our zoo.
We made a gorgeous Blue Morpho out of
construction paper, tissue paper, and glitter.
We took our butterfly net outdoors,
caught butterflies and moths, and observed
their differences.
We had fun!
And more important than the fun, mylittle boy loved homeschooling again. Hewas excited to learn. His curious sparklewas back. And he was never bored. Notone time. We have not looked back from this de-light-directed approach. My son is now inhigh school, so I do play a big part in hislearning. However, I do less teaching andmore facilitating. I am sure to provide himwith the tools and materials he needs tolearn about the things that interest him. Ialso make sure that he meets the necessaryrequirements for college, but he has a tre-mendous amount of input for how that isimplemented. (He does use traditional cur-riculum for math and English.)
I am perfectly comfortable now with allowing my son's interests to dictate our
days—some days not even knowing what
will come next—for one reason: his love for
learning has been ignited by this method.
I don't worry about gaps (all curriculumhas gaps). As far as concerns about him learn-ing all he needs to, a love for learning is thegoal here, and with that, he will always havethe ability and desire to learn what he needs. If delight-directed learning is a methodthat interests you, the good news is you canbegin whenever and however you wish.There really are no rules. There's also noprescribed formula. You can start at the be-ginning (of the week, or month, or schoolyear). Or you can just start in the middle ofwhatever you're currently doing. Brainstorm some ideas with your chil-dren, listen for clues about what excitesthem, or simply follow some rabbit trailswith your current curriculum. Have fun,get messy, and enjoy watching their won-derful curiosity blossom into a love forlearning.

Hi, I have AMD SDK 2.5 installed with Catalyst drivers 8.881 and nVidia's drivers 290.10. The X-server is using the AMD's card. When I run clinfo, I see the nVidia's platform, but when extensions are being determined, I obtain
ERROR: clBuildProgram(-11)
Debugger points me to depths of libcuda.so and then strlen in glibc. The nVidia driver is loaded, but no Xserver is running on the card.
The code links again't flgrx's -lOpenCL. Can that be an issue?
The nVidia was working (running Xserver and computing OpenCL stuff) before I got the main AMD card now, then it broke.
Thanks for any hints.

— Jeff Wysocki is a Dirt Wheels reader who lives up in Michigan. He says he rides his Kawasaki Teryx all year round, at the dunes, on the trails, in the mud and even the snow is no problem. As you can see he has made his machine more snow worthy with the addition of Tatou's 4S track system. No amount of snow slows him down.
Jeff calls his machine "Casper the Beast" because of the way it totally destroys snow. That is made possible by the Berco 72″ snowblower he has mounted on the front of his Teryx. It can clear snow from driveways and roads in no time. It's a snow monster that anyone living in the north would love to have.
In addition to the snow tracks and snow blower, Jeff has done a few other things to his machine. He installed a Green Mountain cab enclosure with a EMP glass windshield, LED lights front and back, and a Badlands winch. In the summer time his Teryx sports a set of Big Horn 2.0 tires mounted on custom white ITP SS wheels.
Do you have a machine that should be featured here and the printed magazine? Of course you do, so send us photos and info on your ATV or UTV. Email it to [email protected]

Education and training services firm NIIT Ltd said the company's board has accepted recommendations by its committee to transfer the school business to its wholly owned subsidiary Hole-in-the-Wall Education Limited (HiWEL), for Rs 108.1 crore.
NIIT has four platforms—corporate, individuals, schools and skills, represented by managed training services, cloud campus, nGuru and Yuva Jyoti, respectively.
In the school learning solutions business, it provides solutions and services for technology enabled learning & teaching for schools, teachers' training and learning for underserved children. NIIT offers NIIT nGuru solution comprising interactive classrooms, math lab and IT wizard for students and quick school as an ERP solution for school management.
Around 57 per cent of revenue comes from private schools (the figure was 47 per cent in FY13). Last year it signed up 668 schools for providing nGuru solutions with an order intake of Rs 90.9 crore. NIIT's nGuru range of solutions is available in 19 states, touching 88 cities and over 17,000 government and private schools in the country.
In contrast, HiWEL sets up Hole-in-the-Wall Learning Stations, which is aimed at bridging the digital divide for marginalised children between 6 to 14 years of age – particularly girls and those who have dropped out or are at a high risk of dropping out of school. This unit provides solutions in the areas of elementary education, life skills and computer literacy and currently, over 500 such learning stations have been set up across Asia and Africa.
The school business currently contributes around 16 per cent of its total revenue. Corporate and individual learning segments contribute 42 per cent each while skill development is a fairly new unit.
NIIT board, which held a meeting on August 26, also accepted recommendations for amalgamation of its three wholly-owned subsidiaries—Evolv Services Limited, Scantech Evaluation Services Limited and NIIT Online Learning Limited—with the company.
The developments are as part of the company's plans to rationalise the business structure. Its board had constituted a committee last month to examine the options of the rationalisation of the subsidiary companies' structure.
On Thursday, shares of NIIT Ltd closed the day at Rs 49.75 a unit, down 0.10 per cent from their previous close on the BSE.

He suffered 12 grandmal seizures in an eight-month period and was unable to find relief with pharmaceutical medications. John's background was working in network security for an engineering firm but left that career due to his epilepsy. He now operates a payment processing company providing ATM machine services for businesses in BC. It took a few years of cannabis experimentation and trial-and-error on himself, but eventually John connected with Andrea Dobbs at The Village Bloomery, educators like Adolfo Gonzalez of CannaReps as well as Mara Gordon from Aunt Zelda's in California and was able to find cannabinoid therapy that worked to treat his epilepsy. John is proud to say that he will be seizure-free for 3.5 years this coming Sept. John continues to work closely with his great doctors and the BC cannabis community to keep up to date with the latest education and information, so that he can continue being seizure-free and also help others by sharing what has worked thoughout his journey.

Book a Lymphatic Massage to help ease your symptoms.
Light and rhythmic, lymphatic massage, also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage or "MLD," feels supremely relaxing while it does its work. Instead of targeting the muscular system like in a typical massage, the therapist focuses on the surface layers right below the skin to draw the lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. At the lymph nodes, the immune system checks everything out to keep the body safe and healthy.
Many people say that Lymphatic Massage "flushes toxins" out of your body. This isn't exactly how it works, but it was developed to enhance the body's natural ability to process foreign bodies through the immune system while helping keep down swelling. Although we offer lymphatic massage for the aforementioned needs, we do not currently offer Lipossage or Complete Decongestive Therapy for advanced lymphedema management.
Revel is a wonderful caring kind healer and I couldn't recommend them enough! It helped so much when my internal bruising wouldn't go away after top surgery and helped so much with the pain!– RK

Images Of Thermal Footage And Foot Print From Destination Truth's Vietnam Bigfoot Episode Bigfoot Evidence
Did Destination Truth finally capture evidence of Bigfoot in Vietnam and manages to impress Jeff Meldrum who states that the the casts at least are the best evidence he's seen from Vietnam. Cue the next episode full of 45 minutes of "What was that?" "Did you hear that?" "There's something out here!" and 5 minutes of actual evidence, but in this case the dramatics might be worth it. Linda Godfrey shares her tale of a recent possible Bigfoot encounter in Wisconsin wherein she seemed to be communicating via wood knocking with something that she could not see: The Bigfoot Branch? After a few rounds of tree knocking, the unseen conversationalist yanked a huge 20 foot long branch off a tree nearby and hurled it to the ground. Later on, Godfrey's companion spotted a bipedal creature striding off into the woods. Apparently, this particular Bigfoot was showing the puny humans who had the bigger stick. Soon after, Godfrey left the area in a hurry and wisely so. Damien Bravo delves into The Life and Times of the Russian Almas/Yeti, Bigfoot's coneheaded cousin that is rumored to have mated with humans at some point in history. What exactly is the Almas? Bigfoot? Human? Something in between?

Taking A Walkabout With The Australian Yowie, Clawed Hands, Excavators, Giant Wombats and Bruises Bigfoot Evidence
Except for the Giant Wombats, all of the above was involved in just one Yowie encounter, as Damien Bravo explains. In 2009,
worker Dean Harrison says he was attacked and beaten up by a Yowie that
left prints on the construction site excavator. Harrison is not shy in
sharing the physical evidence as the photographs show. The man was
certainly tossed around by something...Like the Yowie, the Mothman seems
a bit fond of roughing people up and even killing them if all the
stories are to be believed. A local news station revisits Point
Pleasant, West Virginia and finds that the residents are still
understandably unsettled about the subject: Ohio's Mysteries: The Legend Of Mothman. Who Forted examines another crpytid mystery just north of Ohio and nearly as ominous as Mothman: Classic Cryptid: The Legend of the Jersey Devil.
The Jersey devil has been reported for 275 years in the Pine Barrens
area and no one is any closer to explaining what exactly it is. The
creature tends to mostly frighten hikers out in the woods but has been
known to terrorize whole towns, as it did in 1909 for an entire week.
The Cryptid Chronicles brings us a great overview of another elusive
creature, this one slightly less threatening perhaps only by virtue of
being limited to water, Pressie the Lake Superior Sea Serpent.
Like all great cryptid creatures, Pressie has been reported for over a
century and has been captured only in a handful of blurry photographs.

Review: Destination Truth 7-10-12
The episode featuring the Vietnamese version of Sasquatch, called here the Batutut (or the Nguoi Rung) was really good and interesting. We see Josh Gates and his crew venture into the jungles of Vietnam in Ka Bang Park searching for this cryptid; during the first day, Josh goes and meets with Dr. Viet who has the cast of the 1982 track which was found and is the only known footprint of the Batutut cast to date. The team on the first night splits into two teams. Josh and his crew do get a thermal image of what appears to be a large bipedal individual walking in the jungle, but it is too far away to make an absolute determination one way or the other. On their second day they explore a cave where Josh hears some kind of a low groan, but again find nothing. On the second night, Josh and his crew find a series of footprints, one of which is cast. The tracks are also photographed, and another track is found in a cave and photographed. When the team arrives back in Los Angeles, they examine the footage they took but do not make a determination on it. Josh then takes the cast to the Virtualization Laboratory at Idaho State University where the cast is scanned. Josh then takes the cast and the photos to Dr. Jeff Meldrum's laboratory where Meldrum seems to give the photos and cast his seal of approval. He says they are extremely compelling and they do seem to have hallmarks similar to other Sasquatch casts. All in all, a really good episode of DT, which I would give an 8 1/2 out of 10.

In a rather unsettling snippet of an upcoming interview, Justin Smeja doesn't seem all that concerned that he shot and killed a Bigfoot. Or so he claims. He states that he would happily shoot anything that looks out of place in the woods. His account of the infamous Sierra Kills incident, corroborated by his hunting partner, does seem to contain some truth but as usual we are left waiting for the rest of the story and the results from the Ketchum hair sample test, aka the slowest published paper in history. Speaking of evidence, Bigfoot hair sells for $225 at a Texas auction; is it real? You don't even have to be a skeptic to doubt that
The hair is being sold in 100 lots, which means either someone managed
to find a Saquatch barber shop or this is a blatant fake. Sometimes
fact really is stranger than fiction, and Io9 tells the twisted tale of
two brothers named Heck who were behind The Nazi breeding program that resurrected an extinct species--the
auroch. The brothers very carefully crossbred several breeds of cattle
until they achieved the perfect match and then inexplicably released
the aurochs 'back into the wild' in dense German forests where they
quickly became extinct once again.

Over in Big Sky Country where the waters run deep, Laney Hanzel is collecting data on his local cryptid. Doctors, lawyers, and other trustworthy professions have his phone ringing off the hook after sightings of this lake monster. Elsewhere, deep in the Pine Barrens, a spittin' distance from Leed's Point where the appropriate exit number would be 666, is the east coast's most notorious cryptid. Josh Sanofsky asks you to join him around the chiminea as he regales you with a Classic Cryptid: The Legend Of The Jersey Devil. Looking further back in history and farther away from the Garden State Parkway, Andrew Nicholson talks about the Phantom Animal Prowling Tasmania's Huon Valley. Could this area be the final preserve of the late, lamented thylacine or could those eucalyptid canopies provide cover for something far stranger? One can't mention cryptids without Loren Coleman raising his head like Nessie. He reminisces upon That Jungian Year: 1977 where Richard Dreyfus got half of a suntan, Elvis died on the toilet, and the release of Star Wars. Let's not forget a young man from Illinois who raised a ruckus in biological circles and his very first book celebrating Bigfoot, giant birds, among other beasties of the bumper crop of 1977.

Our own business is a dream for which we increasingly give up full-time employment. The foundation of a company is usually based on an innovative idea , thanks to which we can stand out from the competition and gain a stable position on the market. However, not only the right strategy, but also the money to start is needed to succeed.
Develop a business plan
The Polish market is becoming more and more open to beginner entrepreneurs, which is why it is definitely worth trying to create your own company. An innovative idea, however, is not everything – before you invest resources and resources in creating a company, you should check whether this type of activity has a chance for success and profit in the coming years. This is why it is so important to prepare an appropriate business plan in advance. – says Margita Kaczmarek, President of the Management Board of Surat Sp. oo
The exact business plan should contain the goals that we want to achieve in the initial period of activity, as well as the expenses that will be associated with it. The target group of clients and their expectations should also be specified. A good business plan includes market recognition and competitive analysis that allows entrepreneurs to target marketing activities and adapt the product offer to the needs of the market.
Register your company
Each company must be registered in the Central Register and Information on Business. Then he gets his tax identification number and REGON number, which serve as company identifiers and are necessary for the majority of legal activities. Entry in CEiDG declares the company as a contribution payer to ZUS and allows it to identify its owner in the Tax Office. Additional formalities to be completed when setting up your own business are also employee insurance at ZUS and at the National Labor Inspectorate, as well as setting up a company account at the bank.
Get ready for expenses
Opening a business carries with it costs, the amount of which should be estimated before the start of operations. The biggest expenditure that a novice entrepreneur is waiting for is to provide a suitable workplace, i.e. rent or purchase of usable space (eg office, hall). It is becoming more and more popular to run a business in your own home, which significantly reduces the fees incurred on this account.
In the initial period, expenditure will also be important for the purchase of equipment that will be necessary in running the business, as well as employment and training of employees.
– The first months of running a company may not bring profits in a satisfactory amount. For this reason, already at the time of starting operations it is worth having money set aside for the first payment for employed persons. – suggests Margita Kaczmarek, President of the Board of Surat.
Money to start
In the first months of starting operations, spending seems to be endless. With limited impact, the funds set aside quickly become exhausted and the entrepreneur often faces a financial crisis. The solution to this type of situation is applying for various types of funding from the Polish government or the European Union. Unfortunately, getting the money to start in this way is very time-consuming and is subject to many formal requirements.
A short-term budget should be repaired quickly and efficiently so that our company has the chance to get wind in its sails in the coming months. Here, investors can help with the so-called "Business angels". To gain their support, you should first get them interested in your idea. Investors of this type invest their capital primarily in innovative companies dealing with modern technologies.
– Starting your own business very often brings with it unforeseen costs, which contribute to the quick depletion of money put off to start a business . Businesses often turn to banks at that time. Unfortunately, these institutions are reluctant to lend money to companies that can not yet boast of any results. In such a situation, it is worth reaching for a non-banking loan, which is becoming a more and more popular way to raise money for start. – says Paulina Horabik, Managing Director of MonumentFund SA.
Companies specializing in lending money to entrepreneurs allow you to quickly patch the budget. With their help, we will quickly get the funds necessary to buy the necessary equipment, rent an office or to carry out a marketing campaign. The advantages of this type of institution are limited formalities and high flexibility, which allows you to get money without meeting the exacting requirements.
The money for the start of the company is quickly depleted, so it's a good idea to prepare a few emergency solutions in advance to get the necessary funds, which will be useful before our company starts to earn a living. In this way, we will not be surprised by unforeseen problems. A good solution is to take advantage of an online loan for companies , which allows you to quickly obtain funds to conduct further business – summarizes Dominik Ciula, Sales Manager at Aasa Polska SA.

Key Patent Issues Covering Protagonist Therapeutics' Oral Peptide IL-23 Receptor Antagonists, including the Development Candidate PTG-200
"This new patent provides intellectual property coverage until 2035 for our orally stable IL-23 receptor peptide inhibitors, including PTG-200," said
Protagonist Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a proprietary technology platform which is utilized to discover and develop novel peptide-based drugs to address significant unmet medical needs. Its primary focus is on developing first-in-class oral targeted therapy-based peptide drugs that work by blocking biological pathways that are currently targeted by marketed injectable antibody drugs. Protagonist's initial lead peptide product candidates, PTG-100 and PTG-200, are based on this approach, and the company believes these candidates have the potential to transform the existing treatment paradigm for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a set of gastrointestinal diseases consisting primarily of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
PTG-100, a potential first-in-class oral peptide alpha4beta7 integrin antagonist, is currently in Phase 2b clinical trials for moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. PTG-200, a first-in-class oral Interleukin-23 receptor antagonist for potential treatment of Crohn's disease, is currently in pre-clinical development and is expected to enter Phase 1 clinical studies in the second half of 2017.
In addition to PTG-100 and PTG-200, the company is developing an injectable hepcidin mimetic PTG-300 for potential development as an orphan drug to treat iron overload related rare diseases such as beta-thalassemia. PTG-300 is currently in pre-clinical development and is expected to enter Phase 1 clinical studies in the second half of 2017.
Protagonist is headquartered in Milpitas, California with its pre-clinical and clinical staff in California, and discovery operations both in California and in Brisbane, Queensland,

When Mel Turner is hired to rehab an old Victorian mansion to act as the eerie setting for a Halloween bash, she's expecting the normal challenges—old wiring, bad plumbing, maybe a ghostly specter or two. But when a young man is killed after spending the night in the house, and the mannequins in the attic start to come to life, it's clear that this is serious paranormal activity. Maybe this time, a real witch is needed.
Recommended by a mutual friend, vintage clothes expert Lily Ivory arrives to offer her help with the mannequins. Armed with Lily's spells and Mel's know-how, the two women must figure out the cause of all of the ghostly commotion—before Mel's renovation project turns into even more of a deadly haunt.

On this third week of Advent we focus on JOY. I desire to be filled with a celebration of spirit, gladness and delight. To do this I must make a conscience decision to choose JOY. JOY is not based on how I feel, or my circumstances, but on who God is and all He does. Scripture tell us in Mark 9:24, "With God all things are possible."
Ponder for a moment the conversation between the angel Gabriel and a young virgin girl, Mary.
"Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus."
"How will this be?" Mary asked.
Gabriel patiently explained and Mary chose OBEDIENCE over FEAR.
"I am the Lord's servant, may it be to me as you have said."
With Mary's choice came calm confidence and joy. God was in control of the details and circumstances to bring about His glory.
I came across a quote from Billy Graham. "Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on circumstances, it triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic personality."
Don't you see this gentle personality in Mary? She continues to obey and trust. Her circumstances are certainly not what a young, engaged girl would have dreamed of. Mary finds herself ready to give birth far from home and in a stable full of animals. A choice needs to be made. Can JOY be found in even these strange circumstances? Absolutely! God is in every situation. Joy filled that stable as Mary swaddled Jesus and held him close to her heart.
"GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY!," the angels proclaimed.
Let us choose to open this gift and allow JOY to flood our life. Let us each share the Good News of Jesus with family, friends and strangers.

So funnily enough I've been thinking a lot lately about this play I'm meant to be writing, and getting stressed because I only know about film. The question being of course, how do I use what I know and not just write a never ending conversation. I immediately missed my highly visual filmmakers toolbox but got thinking about why certain images seem to make so much sense for audiences and I stumbled across the symbolic power of genre.
See, I love films that dabble in a little horror and gore, particularly the ones that use the genre's conventions and iconography as metaphor. Recently I was captivated by Andrzej Zulawski's Possession in which the possession of the wife character (Anna) can be read at least in part as a metaphor for feeling overtaken by the 'evil' of her deteriorating marriage (also a concept I have heavily borrowed from). Now obviously, being a film and one with a B-grade feel to it at that, a lot of this is created visually by the camera, in the edit and through effects. However, the most haunting scenes of the film are definitely the intimate moments these characters share which leads me to question how something like this could appear on stage with all the hallmarks of the genre without flashy visuals of film.
As of then began the development of my play's world and narrative structure.

Onnut night market… a shopping place near BTS Onnut
Update: December 2015
This market does not exist anymore. The area is now under construction. I have heard that they are building a shopping mall there. Currently there is only a row of stalls selling fashion items and food.
Update: July 2017
After the closing down of this market, there are 2 new markets in the area named The Corner 79 and New Onnut Night Market. You can click the link to see my review of these new markets.
Onnut was the BTS terminal station. It was a small transportation hub because people had to get off here and transfer to buses. Since BTS extended the Sukhumvit line, Onnut now is not the terminal station anymore. But, this market is still full with people in the evening. You can easily see this market from the BTS onnut.
This night market is not small. However, it is much smaller than The Platinum Fashion Mall and Chatuchak weekend market. It is full with woman clothes, man clothes, handbags, shoes, cosmetics, and accessories. Here, you can find a dress under 200 baht and you also can make a negotiation. Some shops allow you to try on the clothes, but there is no proper fitting room. The shop owners prepare a sarong which could be adapted as a fitting room. The shops accept only cash. You can find ATM machines at the BTS station. I always go shopping at this night market because it is very near to my home (just only 10 minutes walk).
There are many food carts in this market; it is a place for dinner with friends. Many people meet, eat, and shop here after work.
Here are the food carts I always eat.
All in all, this market is not a must-see shopping place. But, if you pass by Onnut station, you can have a good evening here.
Update: February, 2014
Location: BTS Onnut station, opposite Tesco Lotus. The easiest way to go to this market is to get off the skytrain (BTS) at Onnut station.
Opening Hours: Everyday from 17:00 to 23:00
Have you ever been to Onnut night market? Did you enjoy shopping there? Share your experience with me in the comments!

2019 Chevrolet Suburban Interior, Release Date, Price, Exterior – Chevrolet's earliest SUV from the lineup is a stride of acquiring some essential updates, and as we have identified, it will eventually arrive something in 2018 as the 2019 Chevrolet Suburban. The complete-size vehicle that may cater to up to nine passengers will receive the middle of the-cycle renew on the exterior and interior, but more significant, the changes will happen under the hood.
2019 Chevrolet Suburban Exterior
However, because we certainly have no any spy picture available listed here, we can easily explain to you just the latest rumors about the possible design changes. The 2019 Chevrolet Suburban may transform its special highly angular seem. The producer will almost certainly work on a lot more powerful exterior style, and more essential, it might test to reduce a few pounds from the body. The front end will get most of the new style tweaks, while the durable SUV could add some new shades way too. As now we have noticed, the new Suburban is going to be available with yet another range-topping clip level that will be slotted earlier mentioned the Suburban LTZ.
2019 Chevrolet Suburban Interior
New engineering will take a sporty vehicle with fantastic energy and luxury specifics. There is also Driven engineering within all concept and will even be existing on the exterior and interior areas. Also, a new aspect of this structure is a lighter shell. There is a combo of some products used this sort of as lightweight aluminum and metallic which have a lot more high quality and endurance ability. Creators are making a lot of changes, mainly concentrating on new arrivals which became out in 2019. Novelties are so much so we can anticipate the last solution. Following more modern and more useful information, new Suburban design will likely be transformed.
2019 Chevrolet Suburban Engine
Within the hood, the sizeable SUV will provide the same 5.3-liter V-8 engine that gives 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque that strengths either the rear wheels or all four wheels, but also receives a new selection. It is a 6.2L V8 L86 engine, that may be stored at 420 hp at 5,600 rpm with maximum torque of 460 lb-ft that gets to 4,100 rpm. The driver will likely be associated with an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the towing might be about ten per-cent much better kind the recent. The iconic SUV will unquestionably use a 5.3-liter V-8 which is to be fitted by having an all-new Active Energy Management cylinder deactivation technological innovation. The engine system rounds from 1 to 8 cylinders based on the scenario, that will undoubtedly provide specific Miles per gallon enhancement.
2019 Chevrolet Suburban Release Date And Price
Like we currently mentioned, the updated 2019 Chevrolet Suburban will strike the showrooms at some time in 2018, and the base price really should stay the same. Nevertheless, the most up-to-date range-topping cut stage could cost practically $70,000.

Dublin 2-17
Tyrone 0-11
Kevin O'Brien reports from Croke Park
OVER 80,000 SOULS packed into Croke Park this afternoon but for long spells you could hear a pin drop, such was the paucity of the spectacle on show.
Source: Ryan Byrne/INPHO
First things first. Dublin are into the All-Ireland final, with Mayo the only obstacle between them and a third title in succession.
Mickey Harte watched his defensive structure picked apart by Dublin, who strangled the life out of this game with a cold, clinical display.
Dublin happily cut their cloth to suit the opposition. Go defensive and they'll play keep-ball, grind you down and carefully work scores. Leave yourself open at the back and they'll rip you to threads.
Tyrone opted for the former, but there's no keeping out this formidable forward unit, no matter how many bodies you have back. Dublin made over 300 hand-passes and held onto possession for lengthy spells. It almost seemed like a different sport to the Kerry-Mayo game 24 hours earlier.
The decibel levels peaked late on when Diarmuid Connolly was summed from the bench for a run out in the 69th minute, but the game was long over by that stage. Con O'Callaghan's star continued to rise and he bagged 1-2 as well as giving the final pass for Eoghan O'Gara's goal four minutes from time.
Source: James Crombie/INPHO
In the end, the only surprising thing was that Bernard Brogan and Michael Darragh Macauley failed to make an appearance off the bench. They didn't need them with O'Gara, Kevin McManamon and Paul Flynn (0-3) in devastating form.
Peter Harte's penalty, which was saved by Stephen Cluxton, in stoppage-time summed up Tyrone's day. In what could be his final game in a Tyrone jersey, Sean Cavanagh was substituted after an ineffectual 55 minutes. It was nothing close to the the farewell he'd have dreamed of.
Dublin had Cian O'Sullivan and Jonny Cooper as spare defenders protecting the full-back line, although they were never really tested.
In terms of match-ups, James McCarthy picked up Sean Cavanagh, Philly McMahon tracked Mattie Donnelly, John Small followed Peter Harte and Michael Fitzsimons shadowed Mark Bradley.
Tyrone posted Cathal McCarron on Paul Mannion, Ronan McNamee on Paddy Andrews and Aidan McCrory on Dean Rock.
Tyrone needed a lead early on to put doubt in the minds of their opponents, but the Dubs were far too streetwise for that to happen. They patiently worked the ball from side to side, probing for an opening which inevitably arrived.
Source: Ryan Byrne/INPHO
The game was barely three minutes old when O'Callaghan knifed past three Tyrone defenders and smashed the ball past Niall Morgan. It gave Dublin confidence and was precisely what Mickey Harte would have wanted to avoid early on.
Paddy Andrews and Kilkenny picked off good scores from distance, while O'Callaghan highlighted his class with two fine points. Tyrone had just 0-3 from play in the board by the half.
The numbers made for good reading for Jim Gavin's side at half-time, where they led by 1-9 to 0-5. They did an excellent job of not bringing the ball into contact and were turned over just seven times, while Stephen Cluxton found the target with every single one of his kick-outs in the opening 35 minutes.
Of the four occasions they forced Morgan into a long kick-out, Dublin came away with possession three times.
The second-half was merely a formality as Jack McCaffrey bombed forward time after time.
Flynn slotted over three excellent scores, Rock clipped over a trio of placed balls, while O'Gara dispatched a goal after a great move involving Lowndes and O'Callaghan.
Scorers for Dublin: Con O'Callaghan 1-2, Dean Rock 0-5 (0-4f), Paul Flynn 0-3, Eoghan O'Gara 1-1, Paddy Andrews 0-2, Jack McCaffrey, Brian Fenton, Paul Mannion and Ciaran Kilkenny 0-1 each.
Scorers for Tyrone: Peter Harte 0-4 (0-3f), Niall Sludden and Colm Cavanagh 0-2 each, Sean Cavanagh (0-1f), Tiernan McCann and Declan McClure 0-1 each.
1. Stephen Cluxton (Parnells)

Watch out, because Mike Tyson might just be training the future heavyweight champion of the world — his 15-year-old son, Miguel.
Last week, the boxing legend uploaded a video to his Instagram story of himself training Miguel and putting him through some mitt work, with the teenager snapping off powerful rights and lefts every bit as ferocious as his pops once did. He even moves just like his dad.
Like father, like son ... for real!

Fenwick Elliott Partner completes 'Cycle to MIPIM' raising £4,000 for charity
Last week Fenwick Elliott was a ride sponsor for the annual Legal & General Real Assets Cycle to MIPIM charity challenge, in which Fenwick Elliott Partner Andrew Davies also participated.
Andrew, along with nearly 200 other riders, set off from London on Thursday, 8 March, cycling 1,500km over 6 days to arrive at MIPIM on the afternoon of Tuesday, 13 March.
The 200 cyclists were split into two teams for the challenge; Andrew's team headed to Calais via Folkestone and the other to Caen via Portsmouth. On the final day of the ride the two teams re-joined ahead of their arrival into Cannes.
Speaking about the ride Andrew commented, "It was a fantastic experience taking part in the Legal & General Real Assets Cycle to MIPIM. The weather was quite poor at times and the distance we needed to cover each day made for long hours in the saddle. However, a great bunch of people all helped each other and made the miles go by more easily. It was challenging ride and a superb networking experience, which I would recommend to everyone."
The charity cycle was in aid of Coram - the UK's oldest and first children's charity. Two-thirds of the funds raised for the charity will go towards Coram Adoption, which focuses on finding loving permanent homes for the UK's most vulnerable children. The other smaller charities receiving the remaining third of the funds include Tom's Trust, the Emthonjeni Trust, Article 25 and the Multiple System Atrophy Trust. You can find more information on the charities mentioned here: https://clubpeloton.org/charity/
So far, Andrew has raised nearly £4,000 for this worthy cause. If you would like to donate then please click here: https://my.race-nation.co.uk/sponsorship/entry/132153

Duke researchers have devised a method to dry and preserve proteins in glassy microbeads that seem to retain the molecules' properties while potentially making them easier to use in medication.
David Needham, a professor of mechanical engineering and materials science, says that he was able to separate the proteins from water by pulling the water into an organic solvent called decanol. Left behind was a tiny bead of protein that can be preserved because it contains an amount of water so small that bacteria and fungi cannot grow in it. The protein can still function normally when rehydrated.
At present, proteins are dried into clumpy, irregular powders—usually by freeze-drying—to protect them from being damaged by microbes and to retain most of their utility. The problem is these powdered proteins tend to clog syringes. Needham and his research group hope the glassy microbeads, which are only about 26 millionths of a meter in diameter, will someday replace powders and will be directly injected into the body as medications. Their research indicates that high concentrations of microbeads would not be as likely to clog syringes.
Also, turning proteins into microbeads is less time consuming than freeze-drying, researchers say. They are working in collaboration with Duke's Tisch Brain Tumor Center and Comprehensive Cancer Center and are seeking additional funding to conduct initial evaluations of glasslike forms of three molecules that could potentially be used to fight cancer.

...[in part]....Two large problems: the lack of Moscow's control over the Ural Soviet (due to the Urals disapproval of Moscow and unwillingness to cooperate) and the deafening silence on Moscow's end....
Clever fellows those Moscow Soviets, who accomplished the task of getting everyone to believe what they wanted everyone to believe. And, to show how clever, the Moscow Soviets even had the Ural Soviet's believing they were competely on their own in this decision due to the approaching Whites. There was no need to send in troops to rescue Nicholas II and the others. The trial had been a good idea but then it may have back fired and they couldn't take the chance. So, with a few words and a nod in early July, the Ural Soviets leaders went back to Siberia and they would give the orders to execute Nicholas II and the others, and so the Ural Soviets would have the bloody hands, take the credit, and the hands of the Moscow Soviets would appear clean.My thoughts on this matter are not what the majority of historians believe but it's not the first time I've stood among the minority in this world of ours.AGRBear
Grabbed my Sokolov Report, did some quick translation. There is a whole section where he investigated Soloviev thoroughly. Turns out, folks, that Soloviev was arrested in Vladivostok in December 1919 and charged with being a Bolshevik agent. Both he and his wife Matrona (not Maria) Rasputina were convicted based on the overwhelming evidence produced at trial. Here's what Soloviev did:They used the Rasputin name/connection with Vyroubova and Lili Dehn, and with their unwitting help, set up a network of monarchists in Petrograd and Moscow, headed by Nicholas Evgeneivich Markov, who still had money to help the Imperial Family. They went around telling them the grand tale that they had 300 loyal Russian soldiers in the Ekaterinburg region. Tatiana Botkina later testified that this was "a crock", that there was not organization of any one at all under Soloviev in Ekaterinburg. Meanwhile, old Mr. S. set up residence in January 1918, exactly at the junction of the railway between Tiumen and Tobolsk. So, he sets himself up as the ONLY central contact point for all assistance and rescue efforts for the Imperial Family, and of course, all these people who are sent out from Petrograd/Moscow are forced by the railway to stop in Tiumen, and of course to see Mr. S. Mr. S selectively filters the people who are permitted to journey to Tobolsk and later Ekaterinburg. Those who he does permit to go are only given permission to go for one day ONLY. Anyone who does not give in to Soloviev's demands is conveniently denounced immediately by Mr. S. and delivered up to the local Bolsheviks for arrest. To Dehn's credit, once she went to Tiumen and met Soloviev in person, she returned "with little confidence in him. His having left her with the impression of a young man who was audacious to excess and demonstrably avaricious in questions of money." Soloviev is collecting all the money for the Imperial Family, and not a kopek is actually getting through. Anyone who comes out to investigate is told the "tale", and if they don't accept it, they too are conveniently denounced and handed over to the local Soviet for arrest.Sokolov upon further background check found out that Soloviev had been involved with the Bolshevik movement from the very first days of the Revolution. Soloviev's own diary revealed that he only married Matrona Rasputin in order to take advantage of the name. Furthermore, Soloviev's diary revealed that fifteen days BEFORE the transfer of the Emperor from Tobolsk, Yakovlev told Soloviev of the exact date: April 12, 1918.This, then, is the person who's statements are relied upon as "accurate".
...[in part]...Removal of Nagorny:King and Wilson claim that Nagorny was removed from the Ipatiev House on May 14/27 for the ostensible reason that on the previous day he had apparently got into an argument with the men searching the childrens luggage from Tobolsk (p. 157). But this statement isnt footnoted and in my opinion its yet another example of King and Wilson arriving at a conclusion based on little or no supporting evidence. If you check, the only citations in this paragraph of FOTR are to the diaries of Nicholas and Alexandra. But in fact neither Nicholas nor Alexandra states the reason that Nagorny and Sednev were taken away to the Regional Soviet for interrogation. Alexandra even writes, dont know why (AFs diary, May 14/27, 1918). Surely if Nagorny had gotten into a quarrel with the guards, either Alexandra or Nicholas would have mentioned it (for example, later that summer Alexandra would note that Yurovsky and Kharitonov had had an altercation, leaving Kharitonov very upset). It also begs the question, why was Sednev arrested at the same time as Nagorny? Did he also have a quarrel with the guards?The traditional story about Nagornys removal, repeated in many books about the Romanovs, has him being arrested because he protested the theft of Alexeis gold cross by one of the guards. King and Wilson utterly dismiss this story because it originated with Prince Lvov, whom they consider a totally unreliable witness. I have to agree with them here. For example, Lvov made up various stories about the murder of the IF, asserting that they had been killed in the cell next to his own. I think we can safely ignore his testimony about Nagorny. And once again, if Nagorny really did get arrested because he got angry with one of the guards, why was Sednev arrested at the same time? And why dont either Nicholas or Alexandra mention this incident in their diaries? Nicholas complains about the guards stealing the IFs belongings from the storage shed wouldnt he complain about a theft taking place in his own sons room?In my opinion the most logical explanation for Nagornys removal is the one King and Wilson give on p. 159: In all likelihood, Nagorny and Sednev were removed from the Ipatiev House precisely because they represented a threat to the power of the Special Detachment. Both were tall, well-built young men capable of protecting the Romanovs if necessary; with their removal, the only men who remained in the Ipatiev House were the middle-aged Nicholas, Botkin, Trupp, and Kharitonov, and the two young boys Alexei and Leonid Sednev. But if that really was the reason, then it would also tend to suggest that the Ural Regional Soviet was already planning to kill the Romanovs.
You could write that they go to England with their servants. They go and live at Osbourne as Alix has such happy memories of it and as the nation doesn't want Osbourne anyway. The first few years they live of the proceeds of the sale of the jewels (though they keep the best bits for themselves obviously) but they spend a lot on rescuing former friends and servants from the evil clutches of the bolsheviks!! (after spending months in prison Countess Hendrikova and Mlle Schneider's are rescued too and arrive in England to join the household). They also manage to regain custosy of items of THERE property including all the imperial eggs. They of course have loads of balls and parties with the Tsar resplendent in his uniform and the Empress and her daughters literaly dripping in jewels. Guests would write that as they sailed across the waters to Osbourne all you could see was a blaze of light through the darkness which was actually the Empress and her daughters in there jewels. Anyway after a few years and with with the cost of maintianing Osbourne etc they begin to have a cash flow problem. But not to worry all four of the Grand Duchesses marry extremely well and they are rich beyond belief. Also by this point they have discovered a cure for Hemophillia. Alexis has his own army, storms Russia, all the bolsheviks being the cowards they are do a runner and what do you know? Alexis is Tsar of all the Russians!!!And they all live happily ever after.
Didn't anyone appreciate my story?? :-/
:oVery interesting topic indeed!!! I have a lot of military training and experience. So, in my opinion of rescue and escape being possible........ I would say logistically is a nightmare. Impossible well, no. After reading the numerous posts here I can appreciate the pros and cons of the opinions being expressed.I know that in 1917 there were no special forces, etc. But, if planned right and if one had the daring it could be done. Very risky though. Secrecy and extensive training would also play a major role in the sucess of the mission. The time needed to train men for a mission like that is also taxing and almost impossible in that time frame and period because timing and execution would be a big factor in the outcome. You would need a lot of fresh reliable intel too. Without it well, then it IS impossible. I'm just trying to break it down a little here so that even a layman would appreciate it.I also believe that there would be a high casualty rate also which might even extend to some or all of the IF themselves. I say that because of the number of people being rescued. Hmmm.... Like I said, it'd be one big nightmare. I hope this helps.

I say that because of the number of people being rescued. Hmmm.... Like I said, it'd be one big nightmare. I hope this helps.I agree partially, if not wholly, with you...Along with my history obsession, I also greatly enjoying studying militaries, their paraphenalia, and respective wars and how they were fought (believe me, I've played the video games with the best of them too) and I must repeat Jay's statement of such an operation being a 'logistical nightmare'. Undeniably so.However, if there were one or two of the soldiers who were directly involved with the imprisonment and apparent execution of the Imperial Family, the situation would have been no less risky, but perhaps easier to negotiate any final escape if need be. For instance, even if the shooting actually occured, the running theory of someone 'falling off the truck' would be much more plausible. The truck was theoretically unattended for a substantial time, according to most accounts, and if one of the Bolshevik soldiers had been unoccupied and unsupervised at the time, it would have been all to easy for him to slip into the woods (though the motive would be difficult to ascertain, with the exception of perhaps a romance with one of the GDs - Ivan Skhorokhodov and Marie Nikolaevna?). Arguably, the woods were well guarded, but if the soldier went through his own sector...at that time, I do not believe that the well-known system of two guards, one supervising the other's actions at all times, was in place either.Here's an important sidenote. According to the former Office of Military Finances, Records and Historical Archives ([ch1054][ch1092][ch1080][ch1089] [ch1092][ch1080][ch1085][ch1072][ch1085][ch1089][ch1086][ch1074] [ch1074][ch1086][ch1080][ch1089][ch1082][ch1072], [ch1087][ch1086][ch1082][ch1072][ch1079][ch1072][ch1090][ch1077][ch1083][ch1077][ch1081] [ch1080] [ch1080][ch1089][ch1090][ch1086][ch1088][ch1080][ch1095][ch1077][ch1089][ch1082][ch1080][ch1093] [ch1072][ch1088][ch1093][ch1080][ch1074][ch1086][ch1093][ch1088][ch1072][ch1085][ch1080][ch1083][ch1080][ch1097], it dissolved into multiple libraries after 1992 as an effort to de-totalitarianize the country through dispersion of documents) two soldiers were missing from the division assigned to the Kopatkij Forest during that time frame; albeit, as the Red Army at that time was still considered a partisan force, and the Soviet government was still consolidating power, these records are questionable, if not downright unbelieveable. Names of the two soldiers were never released, or either never recorded, so they cannot be cross-checked with their duties or presence in Yekaterinburg at the time.I hope that was relative and insightful.
No names, no records...so what makes them actually exsist in the first place ?
