~ Chapter Three - The Trial ~
The hood was itchy and smelled faintly of mothballs and other more unpleasant scents. I could see nothing through the thick black material, my world was tuned to faint sounds and unexpected touches. My knees ached; they had been pressed against the cold concrete floor for what felt like hours but could just have easily been minutes. Time seemed to flow above and around me, completely bypassing my current blight. I felt utterly alone as I knelt amongst the wizards, waiting for their verdict and my own fate.
I had woken like this, not knowing where I was or even who stood around me. I had screamed for a while, but it did nothing but serve to leave my throat raw and dry. I could feel thick tears gushing down my cheeks, as if the very water in my body sensed the danger and attempted to flee before it was too late. After the screaming I attempted pleading, desperately calling to anyone who could help me. I'm not sure how I knew I wasn't alone in that room but I felt it with a certainty.
It wasn't long before all attempts at speech had left me exhausted and I fell silent and waited in my own private torment, my own thoughts the only company. Each horror of the night flickered through my brain as if it played highlights over and over again.
Eventually, I heard the low murmurs before I realised people were speaking, I couldn't tell what it was they said; their voices nothing more than whispers and muffled still further by the thick material of the hood. I twisted my head attempting to identify which direction they came from, but before I could manage it the hood was suddenly yanked roughly from my face.
I blinked quickly in the sudden glaring light and it took a moment for my eyes to adjust before I could make out any details of the room. When I did I wished for the hood once more, anything to hide from the men that stood before me. I was knelt in the middle of a cold stone room, the walls lit by torches that flickered all around me. The room was circular, a low wooden bench sweeping across the wall in front of me. Upon the bench sat three men, each staring towards another man that stood in front of me.
He was wearing a deep purple robe and he was as old if not older than the other man I had seen. His face was warped into a sneer, his expression filled with contempt and I had the distinct notion that he hated being here.
"Warlock.." his voice was clipped and precise, no effort wasted on emotion of any kind. "You stand accused of breaking the third law of magic. How do you plead?"
I stared at him, my hands bound behind my back. I felt small and alone before these men and could only stammer incoherently. "Wha? What?"
"Do you deny it?" His voice cut through my own attempts at speech.
"Please, I don't know what you are talking about."
"You broke the third law of magic. You forced another to do your bidding by entering their mind, and when a Warden of this council sought to arrest you another breach occurred. Warlock's like you deserve nothing but death." He spat the final words, clearly disgusted by the entire matter.
The door behind me opened with a clatter, footsteps crossing the floor towards me. All eyes snapped towards the intruder and I craned my neck to see who it was. I couldn't move enough to see but after a moment he spoke and it was no longer necessary.
"She clearly knows nothing of the laws Merlin. She had never even heard of magic before and yet you believe that she was somehow trained to act in this way?"
The figure in blue jumped to his feet almost as soon as the door was opened, his long strides taking him quickly across the floor towards me. He intercepted Harry a step behind me and spoke in a whisper that I could just about make out.
"Harry, don't do this. You are already at odds with the council and I cannot protect you forever."
"This is the right thing to do and you know it. She is barely ten years old, how can she be a Warlock? Come on, you don't seriously believe this do you?"
The Merlin's voice cut through the conversation, interrupting matters with a sneer. "Regardless, ignorance of the law is no defence."
"No? Then perhaps we had better go about searching for a defence instead of condemning an innocent girl to death." The Merlin's face showed a brief flicker of anger at these words, it lasted only a moment before he turned and moved over to sit at the bench.
"Then please, pray continue and defend the Warlock."
"Harry, be careful, the rest of the council is away. He holds all of the votes for those absent. There is nothing I can do here."
"Relax old friend, I've got this." The man in blue moved away from us at this, his head low as he sat once more on the bench.
Harry came round to stand before me at last, his eyes did not once look at me so I couldn't tell how confident he really felt. All I knew for sure was that the Merlin was glaring colding towards me and my only hope was this boy who seemed to live a life constantly at the edge of danger.
"When I first met this girl tonight she showed a complete lack of knowledge concerning magic. She knew nothing of circles, warlocks, wardens or the laws. Yet I cannot deny that she is not a mundane, this is clear."
"Ha, so you admit it!" the Merlin clapped his hands together in satisfaction.
"I admit she is no mundane, but nor is she what we would deem normal. I could sense no aura around her, she showed none of the signs of any practitioner I have ever come across. Even Morgan could sense nothing until she actively drew on her source."
"This proves nothing, she cast that spell and thus is guilty of breaking the law."
"She is ten at the most, how could she even have access to her source? Most Wizards don't achieve such ability until they reach thirteen at least and a Wizard has unlocked their abilities. And even then, to produce a strike capable of breaking through a Warlock's mental defences? Surely this is not possible."
"The purpose of this trial is not to ascertain how she learnt such abilities. The case is simple - did she break the law and if she did she is sentenced to death."
Harry had stood defiantly before the other wizards throughout his speech but at the Merlin's words he seemed to deflate somewhat. His head turning towards his friend and finding no solace.
I accepted it then, knew that I could do nothing more. Third time and the luck finally ran out. I had no tears left to shed and instead resolved myself to fix the man responsible with a stare filled with all of my contempt and rage. I assume the effect was somewhat ruined by the muck and streaks of tears that coated my face. I know it didn't achieve anything because he didn't even look at me.
Suddenly the room seemed to freeze, all motion stopped from everyone I could see. Even the flickering of the candles ceased to exist. I couldn't even muster surprise anymore; the night had been filled with too many strange events for me to find anything new surprising.
"Hello," I ventured, my voice sounding strangely muted as if it was travelling through thick material. I didn't really expect an answer, but I had to try. "Hello."
"Hello Lily," the voice came from behind me and I snapped my neck around sharply to try to meet whoever was speaking. "We meet again at last."
"Who are you? And what do you mean again?"
"True, you were very small the last time we met." The man moved around in front of me and of all the things I had seen tonight he was the strangest. He had brilliant green hair that grew in spikes atop his head and yet seemed perfectly maintained as if he had only just arranged them fashionably. Something that I couldn't define told me that he wasn't exactly...normal. I know, I know. That doesn't really sound sane after all the things I had seen. But even compared to all that, he was...different.
He moved around the room, staring into the faces of the wizards one by one, none of them even fluttered an eyelid.
"We don't have long I'm afraid so I will have to talk quickly."
"I still don't know who you are."
"Well, you could say that I am your guardian angel." His voice was deep and melodious and he flicked his wrist as he spoke to add to the drama.
"You're an angel?"
"Well, not in as much as the literal sense. You could also say that I am your uncle, on your father's side."
"You know my dad? How can that be, he doesn't know anything about magic does he?"
"What? Of course he does." The shock snapped through my new layers of anti-surprise, apparently I could find new levels. My 'uncle' fortunately didn't seem to notice as he was suddenly deeply interested in Harry. Eventually he seemed satisfied as his eyes snapped back to mine and his focus seemed to envelop me, "What, oh you mean your mundane father. No I mean your real father. He is my brother. Now hush, we need to get you out of this mess."
As he finished speaking Harry moved at last, his eyes flashing at the frozen wizards around the room. Before he even turned to look at me and the new comer he gave a large sigh, "Just when I thought life couldn't get more complicated the Fae get involved."
"That's no way to speak of me Harry."
"Look, I don't need any more complications right now. Tell the queen that I don't owe her anything."
"For once wizard she has sent me to ask a small favour of you. She seeks your assistance in ensuring that the girl lives."
I'd had enough, they were talking as if I wasn't even in the room and I knew that they would continue if I didn't speak up. "Oi, I'm right here you know. What are you two babbling on about?"
The two of them twisted their eyes towards me and Harry nodded towards the other. "He is one of the Fae, judging by his arrogant attitude and the fact that everyone doesn't seem to be moving I would say that he is pretty high up in one of the courts."
The Fae bowed deeply at this. "What's a Fae?"
"A fairey." Harry didn't even batter an eyelid at this so I assumed he was serious.
"What like Tinkerbell?"
The Fae winced sharply. "I am a Lord of the Winter Court of the Fae and would have killed you for such an insult if you were not so important to the Queen. Also your father is my brother, so I suppose he would be annoyed if I killed you."
"Why does the Queen want her to live?"
"She is important Harry, just accept that and save her. The Queen will owe you."
"Who is my father?" but before I even finished the sentence he had vanished. The others in the room began to move once more and it seemed they had spotted nothing of the conversation that had taken place for the Merlin still stood waiting for a response.
"Never get involved with the Lords of Fae," Harry muttered under his breath and I'm sure that only I could hear it, "I claim the right to be her mentor and seek a place at the Academy." The sentence was quiet, spoke in a measured tone and the entire room seemed to take a breath as it ended. The blue robed figure shook his head gently in dismay, unable to meet his friend's eye.
"He can't do that!" Morgan spat from the bench, venom filling his voice.
The Merlin ignored the outburst, his eyes locked on Harry. Slowly he leant forwards his fingers interlocked and steepled before him, "Do you know what this means Akers?"
"I know and I accept."
"Then so be it, she will be your apprentice. Morgan will be tasked with ensuring that you follow procedure. This meeting is adjourned; until we meet again...I'm sure it won't be all that long."
The Merlin strode out of the room without a backward glance, I saw the small smile that spread across his lips as his cloak whipped past me. The sight sickened me, this man had never met me before and yet he seemed to loathe me. I shuddered as one by one each of the Wizards stood and moved past me, none even looking down at me as they left. Eventually only me, Harry and the blue robed councillor remained. He gained his feet slowly, a pained expression crossing his face as he struggled to look towards us.
"Harry, what have you done?" his voice was a mere whisper, barely audible above the flickering of the torches.
"I have done what the council should have, I have spared the life of a young Wizard that shows potential."
"We are at war Harry, whether the world accepts that or not. We do not have the luxury to spend on potential risks like this. We are spread too thin as it is."
"It is exactly because we are at war that we must," his voice rose as he spoke, the fire of determination filling his words with a passion that had been lacking. "If we resort to branding each new Wizard that makes a mistake as a Warlock then we are no better than the enemy. We are killing without remorse, killing the very people who will save us in the end!"
"You are still young, you didn't see the last war. You didn't witness the horrors, the fear. You cannot understand."
"Maybe I don't, but if murder is the result then maybe I don't want to." He took two swift strides to stand by my side, a hand gripping my shoulder. "Look at her Thomas, tell me that she is a killer and I will abide by your decision."
I swallowed nervously, my eyes opening wide in shock once more. I was unsure how much more of this I could take but the hand on my shoulder squeezed a little tighter and I felt the warmth that flooded from the connection.
"No I cannot say that," Thomas bowed his head once more, failing to meet my eyes. "But Harry, how could you offer your life for hers? You know that Morgan will take any opportunity to say that you have failed and condemn you both to death."
"I know old man, so we will just have to ensure that we don't fail won't we."
Suddenly the bonds that held my hands were cut and I could move them once more. My shoulders ached from having been pinned behind my back for hours; slowly I rubbed some sensation back into my wrists as I stood. My hands were black with soot; thick rivers of sweat had mixed to create a layer of muck that contrasted sharply with the thick bands of red across each of my wrists where the rope had cut into my flesh. My hands trembled slightly as I stared at them, unable to look at either of the Wizards in the room.
"Come on, let's get out of this room and find somewhere a little more comfortable to discuss some things."
Thomas led the way, striding from the room with confidence. Harry followed but stopped at the door when he realised I hadn't moved from the spot. Slowly he turned back to look at me.
"Lily? Are you coming?"
"I want to go home." Now that everything was over I found myself filled with a rage, all of the fear had faded away to be replaced by red hot anger. "I want nothing to do with any of you. You came into our house and set it on fire,"
"Technically the fire wasn't..." his voice trailed away as he caught the expression on my face.
"You took me away without even telling my parents I was alive. You locked me in a room and discussed having me executed."
"On the bright side, you weren't executed. I know that it doesn't seem like much of a bright side but in the years to come I'm confident that you will look back on this as an important point of the night."
"MY PARENTS DON'T KNOW I AM ALIVE!" My voice filled the room, colliding with the stone walls to echo again and again. He didn't even flinch. It was annoying.
"That would be one of the things we have to discuss. I left them a note explaining matters."
"You explained all of this in a 'note'?" I asked him dubiously.
"Well, maybe not all of this but definitely most of it. At least some of it was written in the note. I may have glossed over the whole trial issue and Warlocks and generally everything to do with magic in any way whatsoever. But the fact that you lived was expressly written."
"What did the note say?"
"Well the exact words aren't important. People always say that it is the thought that counts right? I definitely thought about it, I can remember because I thought the post-it was an unusual pink colour."
"What did the note say?"
"It was very eloquent, short, but beautifully written."
"Tell me exactly what the note said." My voice was cold and level, each word punctuated crisply to leave no uncertainty.
"Dear Parents,
Lily definitely not dead. Just to be sure taken to hospital to check.
Dr. Akers"
I wasn't sure if he was joking or not, I wanted him to be and that was why I strongly suspected that he wasn't. Nothing had gone right so far so why should this. I moved across the room as quickly as I could. Stepping out into a hallway that was lit in both directions by torches. No windows could be seen anywhere and I had no idea which direction to move.
"You will want to take a left." His voice was soft behind me, the amusement evident.
It served only to stoke my anger further and I turned to my left, striding confidently down the passage with his footsteps following behind me.

Nice neighborhood, great value for the price, rooms are small though well planned out and comfortable. Convenient to transportation, restaurants, shopping, Cathedrals, and more.
very convenient location for a reasonnable price. Clean room, confortable and quiet in the heart of the city.
Excellent location To shops, metr, restaurants,and markets. Very nice hotel. Reception staff (Cecile) was very friendly, pleasant,and helpful.
This was a comfortable, simple hotel. The staff were helpful. They did not have coffee/tea facilities in the room and that was difficult for me--going down two floors for the lobby coffee was inconvenient when I was rushing to get ready for my meetings. The location was excellent, close to restaurants, shopping and the metro. I would stay again.
Great central location. Close to many attractions if you are a tourist. Small but clean rooms. Decent breakfast too.

"What of it?" Shyran burst in anger, "you have a curfew and rules to obey while you are underage and living under my roof."
Ian shrugged and settled on the table just across Kirana and me, I scowled silently at him for challenging Shyran's curfews and scoldings. It was always the same with Ian, picking up street fights whenever he wished. I felt guilty though, because I heard him jump out of his window last night and had not utter a word for fear of betraying my "sibling bonding" to them.
Shyran shook his head, "I did not brought you up for that kind of life," he sighed and cracked an egg, the white and yolk spreading on the sizzling pan. "Well, for what's worth, did you won?"
Silence prevailed for some minutes before Ian answered, "I guess I did..."
Kirana and I turned our heads in his direction. It was uncommon of Ian to not boast of his victories, normally he would go into details (unnecessary and sadistic details) about his fights. We exchanged glances.
"That's it?" I asked with surprise.
Ian shot me a deadly glance, requesting me to keep silent. "I am tired," he mumbled.
"With good reasons," Shyran shook his head while placing a plate before Ian, "eat something." Shyran was also acting strange, he would scold the guys all morning if he could because it was a Saturday, but his expression and thoughts seem distant.
"So, what's this academy you mentioned?" Kirana asked, releasing the tension between us. Just then, Daren stepped into the kitchen, bringing with him a strong toothpaste odour.
"Did you smeared the toothpaste on your face?" I snickered, Kirana giggled beside me.
"Since when were you so funny?" Daren asked sarcastically. "Are my eggs done?"
Shyran nodded toward Ian, who had was chewing something in his mouth. "Tell him to stay off the streets and I can consider your request."
"Anyways," Daren rolled his eyes at the failed attempt of Shyran to be funny. "Academy, huh?"
Shyran shuffled on his feet, playing the funny parent was not his thing. He was more of the stern parent, that suit him best.
"What Academy?" Ian asked. "Are you sending us away?" There was a gleam on his eyes, I couldn't determine if it was for happiness or sadness.
"This friend of mine owns an academy, he said he would like to take you in and teach you all he knows. I agreed," there was a bitterness in Shyran's voice. "His name is Leargon and he will come and claim you in one week."
"What kind of academy?" I asked, my voice was mingled with excitement and uncertainty.
"A very unusual academy, but it will benefit you. Leargon is connected to your parents..." his voice drifted off to painful memories.
Our parents. For all we know, our parents died in an accident, never specified, and we were left to Shyran to care for us. Anticipation rose to my heart at the notion of learning about my obscure past.
"That is all I can say for now," Shyran turned his back on us and busied himself with the cooking.
"I had a strange sensation this morning," I said, breaking the monotonous silence, "I felt something cruised my arm this morning, in an azure glow..."
Shyran turned around sharply, his eyes studying the veracity of my statement.
"I happened to me too," Kirana said. Ian had an incredulous expression on his face and Daren was silently listening.
"That has something to do with this academy..." that was the last thing Shyran would say on the subject. "Next week, all of you are going to get the answers..."

Pete Smith, AIA, President and CEO, is a licensed architect and 30-year veteran of the profession. He joined BWBR in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 1987 and was named head of the firm in 2012, representing the seventh generation of leadership for the 94-year-old business. Under his tenure, BWBR opened a second office in Madison, Wisconsin, and has grown its staff by more than 50 percent. With the growth of the firm, Pete has also overseen the implementation of a knowledge management program to leverage the power of design thinking beyond the boundaries of architecture to help clients with workplace strategies, evolving pedagogies in education, and health care service design. In 2015, AIA Minnesota honored BWBR with its biennial Firm Award, recognizing the firm's contribution to the advancement of the profession in the areas of technology, service, and design. Modelo spent some time learning about Pete's career as an architect and about what continues to motivate him today.
On becoming an architect
I grew up next door to Lloyd Bergquist, one of the 'B's of BWBR. I don't know of any specific inspiration that came from that, but I remember being very much aware that he was an architect. His family's home was so unique relative to the other houses in the neighborhood. It impressed me the impact an architect can have on the built environment. In high school drafting classes I began imagining spaces and it sparked my creative juices.
When I was wrestling with a major, architecture was at the top of the list. Also interested in medicine and education, it is interesting now that my practice includes designing healthcare facilities and doing a fair amount of teaching and mentoring. This path allowed me to have it all.
On discovering his voice as a designer
Admittedly, I was just an average design student and subsequently an average designer in practice. However, early in my career I found myself in a position where I had more work to handle than I could accomplish alone and needed help. Two things happened. First, the volume of work I could do increased and, second, the quality of the work I was leading improved as others were better at certain things than I. What I discovered was there were many ways to be an 'architect,' and I was pretty good at several of those. While being a 'Big D' designer wasn't one of them, I found that I could lead a team, guide a client, challenge the design solutions, manage the process, inspire, and motivate others quite well.
Influences in my life are too many to list, but from my mother I learned organizational and leadership skills; my father, process and budget management and problem-solving skills; Lloyd Bergquist, a focus on the client and the firm and less on 'me;' and from the senior leaders at BWBR through my early career, how to lead others and eventually lead a firm.
On joining BWBR
Although Lloyd was a mentor of mine, it never occurred to me to ask him for a job. I worked at a couple firms during college and stayed on after graduation with one of them. As their market dried up, I began looking and stumbled across an ad for help at BWBR. My approach to architecture early was simply providing space to house a human activity. Over the years, I have grown to learn the significant impact that architecture can have is on the people that live, work, are healed, worship, and are incarcerated within. Because people are impacted, our process at BWBR has evolved, as well, to engage them in the process. This goes beyond having meetings and asking for feedback. We engage them deeply in the process, from identification of the problem and need to exploration of the design solutions to the implementation of those solutions and, frankly, to the change management necessary when they move in to those solutions.
On a specific principle he strives to adhere to
Keep the focus on the client and not on our ego as designers.
On his role at BWBR
My primary focus is on the sustainability of our practice – helping my peers and our staff make good decisions on behalf of our clients while maintaining the health and viability of our practice into the future. We are in our 94th year as a practice and our seventh generation of leadership. Our firm mission and my personal mission align around the idea that design excellence, a focus on client service, and staff development leads to business success. As a practicing architect, I approach every project with the focus to enhance and elevate clients using design as a conduit. By satisfying the most demanding of clients as project leaders, we can effectively develop future design and project leaders by creating distinguished architectural solutions for churches, health care organizations, schools, and companies heavy into research and development and manufacturing. It's a balanced approach to the practice of architecture, demonstrating that business success and design quality are congruous.
Beyond maintaining existing and building new relationships in my seller-doer role, I also spend a fair amount of time mentoring future leaders of the organization, whether that is in the area of design leadership, technical leadership, business development or running the practice. By developing new capacities that foster professional success, we develop the capacities of the firm to serve a world that challenges us to be more diverse, more innovative, and more creative. Our approach to capacity-building has helped diversify the firm's leadership ranks with more women, different thought leaders such as medical planners and security specialists, and helped implement new initiatives such as design research and knowledge management.

On recent project that represent the firm's unique approach
While I appreciate that there are many similarities between firms, we believe we do things a bit different. We excel on the design of complex projects serving the needs of many stakeholders. Because of the varied, and sometimes competing, ideas people bring to these dynamic facilities, we facilitate visioning sessions at a level that is unmatched, creating an engaging environment where people feel comfortable contributing their voice without hitting speed bumps that could drag out the process. We believe that because our work has such a significant impact on the people who will use these buildings, they should be engaged in the process. This leads to what we believe are more 'relevant' solutions. The buildings we design are about our clients and not about us – an approach that has earned us the reputation as 'strategic partners' with many of our clients. Projects such as Mayo Clinic's Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center Building, Gustavus Adolphus College's Beck Hall, the State of Minnesota Senate Office Building, Karner Blue Education Center or a large research and development center for a Fortune 500 company are good examples that demonstrate this focus on the client.

On his design toolkit
We use a number of tools to help communicate ideas and explore options with our clients. Design thinking is both analytical and emotional. The ability to create 3D imagery has improved our ability to communicate with and help clients visualize space. Our process includes a number of modeling techniques as well as 'old school' hand sketches and diagrams to begin the dreaming process. As the design develops, the tools are more refined, allowing a level of realism that aides in communication.
On the state of design software today
Having started when creating a perspective rendering required hours of time and an understanding of how to set the horizon and establish vanishing points, the ability to practically press a button and experience the space from countless viewpoints is almost magic. The tools available today have significantly improved the design process and the rate of change suggests we have just scratched the surface.
On the future of architecture in the next 5-10 years
With 3D modeling and BIM technology, both in design and fabrication, there is almost no limit. What can be imagined can be fabricated. There is little disruption needed on that end of the practice. I think on the service end and how we engage all the stakeholders in the process, the integration of teams and the breakdown of organizational silos is where the greatest need is and where more disruption will occur.
Again, I see more and more integration of the various stakeholders: owners, design, engineering, and construction. We won't come together necessarily as one entity but rather in a process that integrates the necessary skills and expertise to reduce waste and risk and create more innovative and impactful design solutions.
On the future of BWBR in the next 5-10 years
BWBR is a well-established and successful practice. This makes change sometimes difficult. Why change if things are working well? We recently completed a strategic planning process that challenges us to be "nimble and bold" and developed specific strategies to achieve that vision. We are well on our way. Both the current and future leadership of BWBR are committed to evolving our practice and building skills of resiliency that will allow us to respond to whatever the future throws our way. We are also creating a design culture informed by research. Through research, we offer a more critical approach to design and measuring the success of those designs after implementation. Through research, we have the opportunity to create a more engaged workforce, innovate in process and solutions, and inspire people to exceed expectations. A two-way street, research opens opportunities to seek new knowledge and contribute to the profession's body of knowledge.
On advice he would give himself
I'm afraid that if I were more aware of what I know now, I wouldn't have learned the lessons…some of those hard lessons made me who I am today. Perhaps if I could whisper in my ear while I was sleeping, I would say, "Being an architect is more than what you were taught. It is richer and more diverse than drilled into you in school. Open your mind to the possibilities!"

If the full document is classified, then you will want to reproduce the same bug in a new, unclassified document, something that can be shared. (A thought for the PPMC: Note that in exceptional cases we do accept confidential documents on private lists. For example a security vulnerability report can come with a test document that demonstrates the vulnerability. Such documents are received on our security list, verified, but not made public. There is a level of trust between the security team and the reporter to treat such information sensitively. If we wanted to, we could have a similar practice with documents indicating other kinds of errors, non-security. Although it is easy for us to say that Marco should reproduce the error in a clean document, etc., the fact is this is often not possible. For example, when the bug is related to importing a document that was created in an earlier version of OOo, or even created in another application, one that the reporter does not have installed. I think only a small number of users will take the extra step to create a new test file for us. The net result is we fail to get some perfectly valid bug reports, and miss the opportunity of fixing some real bugs.) -Rob > Thanks! > > Kind regards, > >Marco A.G.Pinto > ----------------------- > > > -- >

Norwegian tenor and soprano player Neset has produced a stonking debut demonstrating a fully formed musical personality over 11 original compositions.
It sounds as if he can do anything: super-fast playing in the broken-beat rhythms of Steve Coleman; sensitive ballads in a keening Northern wail, plus avant-garde solo interludes. The band of Django Bates on keyboards, Jasper Hoiby on bass and drummer Anton Eger match Neset every step of the way.Reuse content

Here is your chance to buy a 17th century mansion with 19 rooms for the price of a London Victorian terraced house. If heritage renovation is your desire, Richmond council is putting Elmfield House up for sale at auction on Tuesday.
Elmfield House, near Teddington station, was once the home of Alexander Herzen, founder of the Free Russian Press and the inspiration behind Tom Stoppard's The Coast of Utopia trilogy. Herzen lived there from 1863-4. During this period he was visited by the Italian revolutionary and soldier, Garibaldi, who unified Italy.
Its most recent use was as council offices, so it needs love and attention, but with 19 rooms and assorted kitchens and toilets, there is bags of potential to create an elegant lifestyle.
Allsop auctioneer Gary Murphy told Homes & Property that the guide price was a mere £1 million to £1.25 million to reflect the building's condition, uncertainty as to whether planning permission can be obtained to convert it back into a mansion, and the state of the market.
Richmond council says it could have sought planning permission for a residential conversion from its own planning department but chose not to. Deputy leader Stephen Knight said: "The building is surplus to our requirements and we need the revenue for other projects.
"If we had tried for a residential permission and failed, the building would have been worthless. We decided to offer it as it is, leaving the risk of getting planning permission to fall on the buyer."
The sale will take place on Tuesday 11 December at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington.

Aromatherapy Can Work Miracles — Just Ask My Son!
Think that aromatherapy is just something that can make bath time more relaxing? Think again! Aromatherapy is capable of so much more than that. In fact, it's the reason I have a son today! Back in 1996, my husband and I were trying to get pregnant. When we ran into some problems, we went to a bunch of different doctors. None of their suggestions worked, and I wound up totally exhausted. Part of what made the process so grueling was the fact that we didn't know why this was happening. There are lots of medical issues that can keep people from having children, but in our case, there was no medical explanation. None of our doctors could tell us what the problem was. They didn't even have any educated guesses. It was just a bunch of shoulder-shrugging. As luck would have it, I was doing some reading about the benefits of essential oils. At first, my reading was strictly business, since I was introducing essential oils to the Ecuadorian market, and I wanted to know everything about them. But what I read quickly turned personal. In fact, it changed my entire life! Among their other benefits, essential oils can act as a "tune up" for your entire body. Here's how:
They help you relax
When you're going through an infertility problem,
relaxation is non-existent
. Unfortunately, that can make it even harder to get pregnant! Luckily, essential oils helped me
live in the moment and experience more peace
They balance your hormones and reproductive system
Amazingly, they work for both men and women. Since my husband and I had gone through years of fertility treatments, we clearly needed some help in this department!
They stimulate different "drainage areas"
Your skin, kidneys, and lungs are all responsible for getting toxins out of your body. But if these "drainage areas" aren't working the way they should, it can lead to a toxin build-up. Luckily, essential oils can make these "drains" work harder.
Just one month later, Juan Martin was conceived!
I wanted to share my success with other couples, so I decided to offer the oil blends I used as part of the Aromadina line. Here's what worked for me:
Cristina's blend: fennel, clary sage, geranium, lavender, grapefruit. This actually is a blend that I currently sell in my Aromandina line as
Woman's Help Body Oil
Martin's bend: the same, plus 4 each of
essential oil
So far, more than 20 couples have seen success with these oils. I don't consider myself a fertility specialist, though. Instead, I believe that aromatherapy is a great way to bring your body back into balance.
And once you're balanced, amazing things can happen!

How my son was conceived with aromatherapy –
In 1996 my husband and I had been trying to get pregnant, we saw different doctors and we felt that they didn't necessarily know what was going on but they tried different things that really didn't work with us as a couple or with me as a person and that was very exhausting.
There are many reasons why somebody can't have children
and sometimes they can be understandable from the medical standpoint and many times there is a lot of guesses, maybe it's this or maybe that. In our case, there was no real explanation. In 1996 I was reading and studying about the many benefits of essential oils at the same time I was introducing aromatherapy and essential oils to the Ecuadorian market and I was very eager to learn more about the different benefits it had. Here are the different benefits of aromatherapy and how they applied to my case:
Aromatherapy can be help to ca
lm down, relax, live in the moment
. ~
This is such an important factor, because when a couple is going through an infertility problem it is
very difficult to just relax and enjoy.
There are certain essential oils that
can help men and women balance their hormonal and reproductive systems.
After years of conventional fertility treatments, we sure needed some help in that department!
Whenever essential oils come into your body they can st
imulate the different ducts of drainage.
Some will stimulate the skin, some others will stimulate your kidneys or the lungs. Whenever they come into your body they will leave and release or take toxins with them. ~
After four years of toxins, it was important for us to remove them.
n general, essential oils tune up your body
So I decided to do an aromatherapy blend of essential oils and we started to play with each other, to give each other massages on a daily basis and
instead of focusing on having babies, we focused on restoring our bodies, on reinventing our relationship.
The result:
Juan Martin was conceived a month later!
What are the oils I used?
I'm glad you asked!
Cristina's blend
fennel, clary sage, geranium, lavender, grapefruit. This actually is a blend that I currently sell in my Aromandina line as
Woman's Help
Martin's blend:
the same, plus 4 drops each of
essential oil. I don't promote fertility treatments, I always tell my clients that
this is a step to restore your body, to bring it back to balance and that eventually it may bring results.
Eventually at least 20 couples have seen results since my first experience.
What about giving it a try?

Essential Oils for Fertility. I'd like to share my personal story.

My story begins in 1996. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for 4 years. We were trying to have babies and had gone through lots and lots of fertility treatments. We didn't do the invitro-fertilization as we thought that would be the last resort. Basically, we had decided already for about 2 or 3 months that we wouldn't do anything else to try and get pregnant. That is a very difficult process, because you see different doctors and all of them see you not really as a person, but as a uterus or ovaries or as sexual organs more than as a person. They work only on the physiology of the infertility problem. In my experience the doctors didn't necessarily know what was going on but they tried different things that really didn't work with us as a couple or with me as a person and that was very exhausting. You may have experienced something similar.

Essential oils for fertility. I'd like to share my personal story.
Owing to stress and stagnant lifestyles, more and more couples are falling prey to
every day. What follows is a rigorous treatment involving hormones and other medication which causes a lot of stress to the mind and body.
Being unable to conceive causes immense anxiety and frustration which only grows with time – this worsens the hormonal imbalance and further reduces a woman's chances of becoming a mother.
I can relate to the feeling as I have been through the same dilemma 16 years ago when I was trying to get pregnant.
After 4 years of incessant but failed attempts, I created an
essential oil blend
based on my knowledge of aromatherapy
. My husband and I used this fertility aromatherapy blend during couple massage sessions. The essential oils played an important role in restoring our hormonal balance and within a month,
I was on my way to motherhood!
Essential oils have helped me in every phase of pregnancy and for many years after that. I have only aromatherapy to thank for blessing us with a healthy and cheerful child like Juan Martin.
Juan Martin, my aromatic son I am glad to say
that I have been able to help many women overcome their infertility problems and become happy and proud mothers.
The underlying causes of infertility in these women may be varied but the one common denominator was their anxiety to get pregnant and their disappointment when they tested negative month after month. Some of them combined my fertility aromatherapy blend and advice with other treatments – holistic, allopathic or both and some of them just used my oils. There may be several physiological factors that can explain why essential oils could have helped to conceive- their relaxant properties, their ability to promote circulation, their phytohormonal properties or all of the above. My personal experiences inspired me to formulate
Woman's Help Body Oil
, a special massage oil that incorporates the goodness of 4 highly effective essential oils that work on a woman's body in different ways.
Geranium Essential Oil
Balances out the hormones and stimulates the adrenal cortex. Works as an uterine and ovarian tonic. ¹
Clary Sage Essential Oil :
Helpful in relieving feminine problems, stress, depression and anxiety. It's also said that it imitates estrogen, the feminine hormone.
Essential Oil
Calms and relaxes the mind. Extremely beneficial for people who are in an unbalanced emotional state. ²
Fennel Essential Oil:
Has been known for thousands of years for its effects on the female reproductive system. Helps regularize menstrual cycle, specially scanty and painful periods. ³
Other very effective essential oils for infertility are:
Rose Maroc
. Just add 5 drops of each oil to the
Woman's Help Body Oil
. It's important to know that the above mentioned essential oil blend works for women and for men.
I would like to share my beautiful experience with all couples out there who suffer from different causes of infertility
Although it may not be the ultimate cure, it certainly helps in more ways than one.
A relaxing aromatherapy massage concentrating on the abdomen and limbs has a physical as well as emotional benefit. The massage relaxes your mind and stimulates the reproductive organs while the essential oils do their job.
Involving your partner in the process can bring you closer on a physical and emotional level. Indulge in couple massages to detoxify your bodies and build up intimacy.
The use of essential oils does not interfere with any other treatments that you may be undergoing for infertility; in fact, it complements them.
Instead of focusing on the end result, focus on the opportunity to enjoy this time of rediscovering as a couple.
Feel good about your body and enjoy the process rather than worrying about the results.
The secret to success lies in cultivating a positive attitude towards yourself and your relationship with your partner.

Waking up
Orson woke up. He looked around. He expected to wake up wet and covered in sand. But he was in is darkened bedroom at the manison. He could tell it way so still daylight because everything was gray not black. He could see slight shadows.
What happened last night? He hadn't drank that much. Although he didn't drink very much at all. Maybe his tolerance was lower now or something...
Wait. Wait...It was all coming back. He had walked through a door...into Leigh's house...in broad daylight. He was in the Lightworld. She had done it again! She brought him to the Lightworld again but why? When they were together Luka frequently brought him there. Sometimes for pleasure, mostly so Luka could organize her own thoughts. She had more control of the Lightworld. She could manipulate it at will. She couldn't do that with her own feelings or his.
Orson got up outraged. He turned off the tv and stormed out of the room. He walked down the hall and slamed opened her door. The door hit the wall hard and probably left a mark in the wall. Orson peered in from the hallway and then slowly walked in. It was too quiet... There was not taps running or tv going or some other appliance protesting. Luka wasn't here. Orson peered at her kitchen table there were black and white drawings covering the table. There was a drawing of a phone. A hand coming out of a phone reciever. A girl cowering by a phone as it just kept ringing. Actually all of them had phones. What really got his attention were the messy smuged words. Mya soul is gone and so is her body.
Orson ran out of the room. He slamed the door shut and ran to Jeremy's door and started banging it. Jeremy answered the door in a Hugh Hefner worthy house coat.
" If the world isn't ending I'm going back to bed" Jeremy muttered
Orson pushed Jeremy out of the way. Jeremy was too white. He still hadn't fed. Orson didn't have time to fight with him. Orson tore open Jeremy's mini fridge and floated a bag of blood on his bed.
" I don't need you weak. Drink. The moment the sun is down your going to see the coroner." Orson ordered.
Jeremy recoiled " Again?"
Orson looked at him dumbfoundedly.
" Another thing Steffan didn't tell you I guess...They found me at the coroner's. I apparently came back to life...Ha! Ha! It's kind of funny now..."
Orson looked at his seriously and said " When you get back we have a lot to talk about. And it's no good keeping it all inside"

The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Additionally we are shipping UBE4B Antibodies (45) and many more products for this protein.
Showing 3 out of 3 products:
UBE4B promotes endogenous phospho-p53 (show TP53 Proteins)(S15 (show FBLN3 Proteins)) and phospho-p53 (show TP53 Proteins)(S392) degradation in response to gamma irradiation. UBE4B plays an important role in regulating phosphorylated p53 (show TP53 Proteins) following DNA damage.
UBE4B overexpression promotes the oncogenic properties of HCC (show FAM126A Proteins) and is correlated with an unfavorable prognosis in HCC (show FAM126A Proteins) patients.
UBE4B regulates p53 (show TP53 Proteins) in breast cancer
We propose a model in which the coordinated action of UBE4B, ESCRT-0, and the deubiquitinating enzyme USP8 (show USP8 Proteins) enable the endosomal sorting and lysosomal degradation of the EGFR (show EGFR Proteins).
UBE4B-mediated growth factor receptor (show RYK Proteins) trafficking may contribute to the poor prognosis of patients who have neuroblastoma (show ARHGEF16 Proteins) tumors with 1p36 deletions.
The regulated expression of these UFD2a isoforms most likely imparts divergent functions that are important for myogenesis.
we found somatic mutations of HERC2, HERC3, TRIP12, UBE2Q1 (show UBE2Q1 Proteins) and UBE4B genes in gastric carcinoma and colorectal carcinomas with microsatellite instability
data indicate that amplification and overexpression of UBE4B represent previously undescribed molecular mechanisms of inactivation of p53 (show TP53 Proteins) in brain tumors
determined structures of E4B U box free and bound to UbcH5c (show UBE2D3 Proteins) and Ubc4 (show UBE2D2 Proteins) E2s; findings show E4B U box is a monomer stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds; findings suggest allosteric regulation of UbcH5c (show UBE2D3 Proteins) and Ubc4 (show UBE2D2 Proteins) by E4B U box
A splice site mutation was found in UBE4b. UBE4B expression was diminished in the high-stage/poor-outcome tumors.UBE4B stands out as the strongest candidate NBL (show NUMBL Proteins) tumor suppressor gene in the region at this stage.
Characterization of the UFD2a gene.
UFD2a is essential for the development of cardiac muscle, as well as for the protection of spinocerebellar neurons from degeneration induced by endoplasmic reticulum stress.
The modification of proteins with ubiquitin is an important cellular mechanism for targeting abnormal or short-lived proteins for degradation. Ubiquitination involves at least three classes of enzymes: ubiquitin-activating enzymes, or E1s, ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, or E2s, and ubiquitin-protein ligases, or E3s. This gene encodes an additional conjugation factor, E4, which is involved in multiubiquitin chain assembly. This gene is also the strongest candidate in the neuroblastoma tumor suppressor genes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
ubiquitin conjugation factor E4 B
, ubiquitination factor E4B (UFD2 homolog, yeast)
, ubiquitination factor E4B, UFD2 homolog
, ubiquitin fusion degradation protein 2
, UFD2A-III/UBE4B-III splice isoform
, homologous to yeast UFD2
, homozygously deleted in neuroblastoma 1
, homozygously deleted in neuroblastoma-1

Tabling, and "soft" activism, like bake sales. Even though I consider myself shy, I love talking with people about animal issues, especially veganism. The meat, dairy, and egg "industries" are abominations, and they take a huge toll not only on non-human animals but on people as well. They wreak havoc on human health, and they are a huge contributor to global climate change. I like to write about animal issues as well.
They need and deserve our support. They give so much to humans, and unfortunately, what they receive back usually is not kind or positive. Like being tortured, slaughtered, and eaten, for instance.
I compulsively check my e-mail day and night, so that's the best way to reach me. I'm available for volunteering on weeknights (work allowing) and weekends.
Animals have always made me happy, and a few years ago, I decided I needed to do more to pay them back for that. I switched from vegetarian (which I'd been since the age of 15) to vegan (YAY!), and I joined this Meetup. This group rocks.
Great folks who are passionate about issues that really matter.

Butland need to prove himself
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has told Jack Butland that he needs to prove himself with his club first before ever thinking of getting a place in the England national team.
This comes after the statement made by the goalkeeper that he wants to establish himself as the first team goalkeeper of the England national team.
Mark Hughes has told him that he needs to take each game one at a time and focus on ending the season well with Stoke City. The coach believes that it is only after this that he will be able to get a sustained run in the national team.
A columnist for Birmingham Mail has condemned the sad story going around the media concerning the naming and shaming of Stoke City striker Saido Berahino.
The writer asked that the public stopped taking about the ban leaks but face the issue on ground which is the wrong doing of the professional player.
Berahino was not picked by the club as West Bromich Albion tried to cover his eight week ban by the Football Association for his use of "recreational drugs."
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has revealed that he was disappointed with the leak of his latest acquisition Saido Berahino being banned for failing an out-of-competition drug test.
The striker only just joined Stoke after he completed a winter window transfer. Ahead of a meeting with his former club, there were numerous newspaper reports that said the player was banned for failing a drug test. The Baggies eventually won the match against the Potters 1-0 as the striker started from the bench.
Mark Hughes comments on International Players in Club
Mark Hughes reveals that his players who have come from other countries are taken aback by the fact that they are supposed to be at the practice ground on 25th of December as well in England, a day when the entire world has a break from work.
Stoke City have managed to rise above the relegation zone
The start of the season was a disastrous one for Stoke City as they were not able to secure a single victory in any of their 7 opening league matches of this current season. This consistent drop of points saw Stoke City being dropped to the bottom relegation zone.
However, for the past few weeks Mark Hughes and his squad have been able to secure points on a more regular basis and have been able to slowly escape the relegation zone and the head coach of the club, Hughes has recently talked about their recent up-rise as the Welsh manager said:
Manchester United and Three Lions skipper Wayne Rooney has been ruled out of the Premier League clash against Stoke City, according to reports.
The Red Devils are poised to face Stoke City at Old Trafford on Sunday in the League, and Coach Jose Mourinho is doing everything possible to ensure they remain on the winning path.
Sky Sports report that Rooney will play in the Europa League game against Zorya Luhansk at Old Trafford, but that he would be on the bench again in the Premier League.
Mourinho dropped the Englishman in the game against the Premier League defending champions – Leicester City last week. The result was United celebrating a 4-1 win, world record transfer signing Pogba bagging the Man of the Match Award and his first goal since returning to England.
Is Mark Hughes admitting defeat in signing Saido Berahino?
For the majority of the summer transfer window, Stoke City's Mark Hughes has been attempting to lure Saido Berahino to his squad but it seems like this transfer will not be happening as the transfer window is reaching it's final stages and nothing has really occurred with Berahino and a possible transfer to Stoke City.
The 52 year old Welsh manager has admitted himself that it might be better off for him to attempt and sign another player instead of Saido Berahino and make a last minute surprise signing.
Coach Jurgen Klopp gave the go ahead for Mamadou Sakho to be placed on the market before it closes in a matter of days.
The former Dortmund boss isn't very impressed with Sakho, but he wants to keep him for the future. He is releasing the player to any club only on a loan deal, reports say.
Liverpool defeated Burton Albion on Tuesday, but when Klopp was speaking to reporters, he didn't confirm the deal outright. He dropped hints, particularly with Sakho not likely to be glad with the transfer at such a turning point for the Reds.
"Everybody who needs to be informed about this have been informed about this. There are no secrets with the important people, I would say," Klopp noted to the reporters.
Peter Crouch may make move to Swansea
There are media reports that former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch may make a move to Swansea City in the coming days.
Indeed the Welsh side is currently short on strikers and may be in the market for at least two attacking reinforcements. Several attacking players are going to leave Swansea in the summer, and the club is actively looking for a replacement. BatetimbiGomis is said to be going out on a season loan to French side Marseille while Alberto Paloschi and Eder are both going to be sold.
Geoff Cameron claims that he is more worried about keeping his place in the first team
Stoke City's Geoff Cameron claims that he is more worried about keeping his place in the first team of the Premier League outfit for the 2016-17 campaign since he expects the club to have a busy transfer window.
There have already been reports that manager Mark Hughes has been looking at several players who are unable to get game time at top clubs like Barcelona. Christian Tello is one of the names being linked with a move to Stoke City. A transfer will not be beyond the possibility since Stoke City already have a former Barcelona player in the squad – Bojan Krkic.

Opera Olei is the first example of a Consortium gathering a select group of producers of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The set contains six single-variety oils, from six different regions of Italy, produced by six of the best and most respected producers in Italy. These producers apply the highest standards of quality to their production, from harvest to extraction, resulting in oil of the highest caliber:
Agraria Riva del Garda – Trentino Alto Adige – Cultivar Casaliva
Casaliva is the most important cultivar in the three regions overlooking Lake Garda. The oil obtained from the olive has a light medium fruity scent with elegant aromas of herbs and almonds. The flavor is slightly bitter and more pungent with extensive harmonious green notes. This oil will enhance the flavors of fish dishes as well as carpaccio, arugula or chicory salads and cooked vegetables, and is particularly outstanding on vegetarian lasagna or strangolapreti.
Azienda Agraria Viola – Umbria – Cultivar Moraiolo
Moraiolo is the queen cultivar in Umbria where it dominates the vast and beautiful hilly area. The small olives perfectly adapt to the stony soils characterizing the hills. The oil's aroma expresses itself with clear notes of fruit and artichoke hearts. Its flavor is bitter and pungent with a clean and intense fruity taste. It is ideal for enhancing the flavors of legume soups and vegetable salads, and is extraordinary on grilled meats.
Olearia Sangiorgio – Calabria – Cultivar Ottobratica
Ottobratica is a widespread cultivar in the area of Olearia Sangiorgio. The oil produced from this olive has a delicate fruity aroma with hints of fresh grass and thistle. The flavor is well-balanced with moderate bitterness and pungency and a sweet almond finish. In the kitchen it enhances steamed shellfish, boiled fish and grilled white meat, and makes the perfect mayonnaise.
Frantoi Cutrera – Sicilia – Cultivar Tonda Iblea
Tonda Iblea is a multi-purpose variety that is used to produce both oil and table olives. The oil produced from this olive has a moderately intense fruity flavor with exuberant hints of tomato leaf, artichoke, freshly-cut grass and aromatic herbs. The overall flavor is well-structured with moderate bitterness and pungency. This oil is ideal with fish and grilled meats and is perfect for making tomato sauces.
Azienda Agricola Quattrociocchi – Lazio – Cultivar Itrana
Itrana, also known as the olive from Gaeta, is a multi-purpose variety as it can be used to produce both oil and table olives. The oil from Itrana olives is elegant on the nose with delicate scents of herbs, tomato leaf and fresh almond, and has a pleasantly pungent and slightly bitter taste. The oil is perfect with fish dishes and grilled vegetables, and is particularly fabulous on grilled porcini mushrooms.
Frantoio Franci – Toscana – Cultivar Frantoio
Frantoio, the most widespread cultivar in Central Italy, is considered the symbol of Italian olive growing throughout the world. Frantoio olive oils are characterized by elegance and balance, with hints of fruit and artichoke leaf. The flavor is characterized by a bitter and pungent taste, followed by slightly herbaceous sensations and a finish of fresh almonds. This oil is idea with minced raw meat and tuna fish, and is absolutely terrific with vanilla ice cream.
The six Italian producers selected for the Opera Olei Consortium embody and share the experience and life-long commitment that distinguishes their lives and have collectively won them more than 600 awards in olive oil competitions around the world. They are the best olive oil producers of the new generation who have achieved nothing less than perfection with their passion, courage and determination:
Agraria Riva del Garda , Trentino Alto Adige , Cultivar Casaliva Founded by royal decree in 1926 with the general purpose of promoting and supporting agriculture in the Garda Trentino area in Northern Italy near Lake Garda, a paradise which has remained largely undisturbed from outside influences, Agraria Riva del Garda has rightfully earned a reputation for quality local products products which come from the earth, care and ancient traditions of the area.
Azienda Agraria Viola , Umbria , Cultivar Moraiolo The area between Assisi and Spoleto in central Umbria, surrounded by majestic olive trees, has been the backdrop of the Viola family business since the 19th century where the family has been cultivating olives and producing oil for generations. The company takes great care to develop and promote the principles of ethical conduct within their business as well as the environment, and to provide the best flavors of Umbria to the consumer.
Olearia Sangiorgio , Calabria , Cultivar Ottobratica Passion, solidity and dedication is what has been characterizing the agricultural work of Olearia San Giorgio for nearly 75 years over three generations. The olive trees used to produce the oil are situated on the mountain slopes of the National Park of Aspromonte in the towns of San Giorgio Morgeto and Cittanova. The Fazari family has lived in this fascinating territory, rich in history and culture, developing an intense relationship and deep bond with the land.
Frantoi Cutrera ÛÒ Sicilia ÛÒ Cultivar Tonda Iblea For generations the Cutrera family has been dedicating their lives to the cultivation of olive trees and olive oil production since 1906 in south-eastern Sicily. The family pays diligent attention to each stage of olive oil production from harvest to extraction. By maintaining a balance between tradition and innovation, Frantoi Cutrera continues the legacy that the farm's members have been putting into practice for over a century.
Azienda Agricola Quattrociocchi ÛÒ Lazio ÛÒ Cultivar Itrana Since 1888 the Quattrociocchi family has been dedicated to the cultivation of olive trees, handing down the tradition and passion generation after generation. The farm is situated among organic olive groves on the sunny hills of Alatri in the heart of Ciociaria where the Quattrociocchi family produces some of the best extra virgin olive oils on the market, gaining international recognition and receiving prestigious awards worldwide.
Frantoio Franci , Toscana , Cultivar Frantoio Founded in 1958, Frantoio Franci is located in Montenero dÛªOrcia, a small hilltop town on the slopes of the Amiata Mountains overlooking the splendid valley of the River Orcia. Here brothers Franco and Fernando Franci purchased the famous Villa Magra olive grove and transformed an old barn into an oil mill where they continue to honor their commitment to producing true, genuine quality extra virgin olive oils without compromise.

Scarecrow: Damn Psychologists
I wanted to kill someone, something, anything. I hated my life. I hated SCIT. I hated Jagan.
I stalked into the house after him, tears still freely falling from my eyes. I couldn't stop them if I tried. Drake tried to say something but I cut him off with a wave of my hand. I walked straight past Jagan and Beth, past Foster and Dani, and through to the kitchen.
I was oblivious to who was following me or talking to me. I opened the fridge, took out the milk, and sat on the table holding it in my hand.
What was the point? How can I change who I am? I don't know how to be any different. It's the way I grew up. Funnily enough it was my Mother that made me this way, treating me like a hired mercenary to look after Beth all the time.
Then when I joined the army, that was more training, more rule.
I don't see the point now. If that's all I do to people then maybe I shouldn't be around people.
I put the milk down without taking a drink out of it and thought about my house up in the mountains. I could go there for a while, be alone, then after that who knows.
I walked into the study and grabbed a bag, stuffing things into it that I thought I'd need. I could sense someone behind me, Foster or Jagan, I don't know who it was, but I ignored them and without even looking up at who it was I just walked out of the room and down the hallway. I paused at the door with my back to everyone.
"You're right Jagan, I just hurt people. I'm sorry." I shook my head and strode quickly to where I'd dropped my bike, yanking it upright and jumping on.
I kick started the bike and roared off towards the mountains. I needed time to think.

GOP seeks investigation of McAuliffe appointment
RICHMOND, Va. - Virginia Republicans want an investigation into Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe's appointment of a longtime GOP operative to the state Alcoholic Beverage Control board.
Republican Party of Virginia Chairman Pat Mullins asked the attorney general's office Thursday to investigate the appointment of Boyd Marcus. The attorney general swiftly turned them down.
A longtime Republican aide, Marcus shocked political watchers last year by endorsing McAuliffe and working on his campaign.
Campaign finance reports, first reported by The Associated Press, show that Marcus was paid $140,000 for campaign consulting work.
His new position as chairman of the ABC board pays $130,000 a year.
A spokesman for Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring says his office isn't aware of any wrongdoing by McAuliffe that would warrant an investigation.

A CROOK who made a fortune from an illegal immigration racket was jailed for
nearly five years after being exposed by The Sun.
Our secret video of Bhavin Shah, 35, bragging about his criminal "one-stop
shop" service drew praise from a judge yesterday.
The Indian national said he could SMUGGLE people into the UK, fix up
sham WEDDINGS so they could stay here and sort out COLLEGE
places to let them pose as students — without having to attend lectures.
Judge Robin Johnson told Shah at Isleworth Crown Court in West London: "Much
has been written about the shortcomings of journalists who pursued stories
using questionable methods of investigation.
"This case demonstrates the other side of the coin, where journalists uncover
the inscrutable and the criminal."
We filmed Shah at a second-floor office suite in Wembley, North London.
A Sun investigator posed as a construction boss needing to keep illegal staff
in the UK. Shah said: "We can help you out. Everything."
He revealed he charged £4,750 to arrange a bogus college enrolment and a
two-and-a-half year visa — with a discount for bulk.
He also offered to provide fake English pass certificates for any who could
not speak the language. He then showed a website of a London IT and
management college — licensed by the UK Border Agency — where bogus students
could enrol.
Shah said they would only have to attend once "to see the place" and "know the
address". He produced a book which he claimed logged 1,600 "students" in ten
months, all of whom worked instead of studying.
He went on to say he could smuggle illegals in for £3,000 a time and
arrange sham marriages for £12,000.
Shah, of Watford, Herts, claimed to have been running his scam for 12 years.
We handed evidence to police and he pleaded guilty to offences including
conspiring to defraud the Home Office and trying to smuggle £190,000 of
criminal proceeds overseas.
Shah was given four years and nine months. A sidekick got 18 months. Four
people have been jailed in the past year following Sun investigations.
