Mentors can help in designing an effective sales strategy by identifying important factors
Retail Solutions
Gaurav Dahake & Prashant Singh
While still in IIT Kharagpur as a student, Gaurav Dahake realized the difficulty of finding the best deals on e-commerce sites during one of his purchases. So Gaurav created BuyHatke, a dynamic cross product a one-stop-shop space to compare prices from more than 50 e-commerce portals including Amazon, Flipkart, Jabong, SnapDeal, etc. and select the best deals.
BuyHatke started as a B2B product tailored as a price intelligence tool for eCommerce clients. Gaurav soon realized that he was being myopic in his sales strategies by limiting the venture to just price comparison. Gaurav and his team were facing trouble deciding upon a scaling strategy which included options such as being a part of a search engine, a social recommendation platform, and an entity which augments other e-commerce sites
Gaurav's association with NEN started when he nominated BuyHatke for Tata First Dot 2013. "It was a brilliant platform for us In the sense that, we got awesome feedback from mentors (ESPN), Sony Joy (Mobme Wireless), who kept in touch with us over mails for the initial 3-4 months to give us invaluable advise on our operations", said Gaurav. "Apart from that the media coverage that we received from live
Mint, the Hindu and NDTV profit helped us gain the initial customer attraction that we were looking for."
"It was through TATA First Dot's mentoring sessions that we came in contact with Mr. Rahul Dev Gupta who mentored us. He asked us to focus on factors like the business potential of these ideas, the challenges faced in each specific idea, the time taken to implement these ideas, and identifying the idea with a bigger market." Their mentor, Mr. Rahul Dev Gupta, CEO at Kuruvindun, also advised Gaurav to adopt the B2C business model to scale up and create a stable revenue model. As part of the changing their model, he asked them to rebrand the venture as a shopping research and solutions company. He also provided technical advice on their product, the BuyHatke tool, which compares information on pricing, shipping patterns, coupon codes, discounts and payment options. This tool used Ajax technology which couldn't be indexed by search engines, and resulted in lowering organic visits from search engines. Rahul helped them create static PHP pages for different searches which instantly increased online footfalls.

According to a recent study, wearing a Google Glass and using it while driving is as distracting as using a mobile phone while driving.
Ben Sawyer, psychological researcher from the University of Central Florida, says, "When you look at how fast people react to an unexpected traffic event - how fast they slam on their brakes, we didn't find a statistically significant difference between Google Glass and smartphones."
Google glasses are capable of sending text messages, using voice input and head commands.
Google Glass spokesperson have claimed that since the glasses give the driver all the information, with very little distraction, it keeps the driver's eyes on the road.
"Looking does not necessarily mean you are seeing," said Sawyer, because only the eyes are present on the road and the mind and thought is distracted.
Around 40 people participated in the study, in which they had to text an arithmetic problem via Google Glass or using a smartphone while driving in a simulator.
During the process, the drivers faced a car braking suddenly ahead of them. After a near-collision, Sawyer said the participants showed varied levels of confidence in their ability to text and drive.
Smartphone users spaced out more than Google Glass users between their car and the car ahead.
One advantage where the Google Glass edged over smartphones was the Glass users recovered from the near-accident faster than phone users to get back to speeds on roads.

TBM ready for launch in Copenhagen
Issue 3 2013 • 3 July 2013 • Erik Skotting, Director (COO), Metroselskabet
The first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is ready to start tunnelling on Copenhagen's new metro line – the City Circle Line, or Cityringen. The Cityringen contract was awarded in January 2011 and the main construction work started in the following summer. The contract covers 15.5km of twin-bored tunnels, 17 stations and three shaft structures as well as a new Control and Maintenance Centre. In summer 2013, the first TBM will start the tunnelling from one of the three shafts – 40m underground at the work site in Nørrebroparken.
Developing high-class public transport is a contributor to sustainable growth
Issue 3 2011 • 22 June 2011 • Rebekka Nymark, Head of Development, Metroselskabet
Public transport transforms and develops cities, it delivers on a number of political goals at the local and national levels and we are important players when global issues such as climate change are addressed. As public transport operators, we become successful when we manage to deliver beyond a merely supply-driven transportation and address key challenges linked to demographic change, urban congestion, climate change, and as an asset in the global competition for investments and qualified labour.
In spite of strained public finances and a global economic decline, infrastructure development is placed high on the political agenda. Public investment commitments in infrastructure projects in and around Copenhagen are currently at a historic high of around 80 billion kroner, including new and improved railway lines linking Copenhagen with its surroundings (finished by 2018), the Femern Belt Tunnel which includes a railway line linking Denmark and Germany and a developed land area at Rødbyhavn in connection with the tunnel (finished by 2020), and a new metro line, the Cityring, with 17 new underground stations in Copenhagen (finished by 2018).
Underground operations of the Copenhagen Metro
Issue 3 2008, Past issues • 30 June 2008 • Torben Johansen, Technical Director, Metroselskabet I/S
This article gives an introduction to the Copenhagen City Metro and a brief overview of both running and planned extension projects.
The Copenhagen Metro has two lines which run from suburban Vanløse to Vestamager and the Airport, both situated on the island of Amager. The first two parts opened in 2002 and 2003 respectively and the extension from Lergravsparken, which link the first two parts of the Metro with the Copenhagen Airport, opened in late 2007. It takes 23 minutes to travel through the entire system, though most passengers spend a maximum of 6-7 minutes at a time in the Metro. The lines cover 21km – 10km in tunnels and 11km on elevated tracks and embankments.

Remember last week when i told you about the Thank You concert the SABC was planning to throw for itself? Given all their current problems, many questioned why the SABC would want to pat themselves on the back and pay for a concert congratulating themselves. Their response was along the lines of "We are promoting a brand. Even CNN or Al Jazeera or BBC has never had a concert where people in London or artists in London will say 'Thank you CNN or BBC.' It means what we are doing must go to the Guinness Book of Records."
Well the concert was this past weekend and let's have a look and how many people rocked up and if they made it into the record books hey.
SHOCKER.Vast & deserted,basically empty Orlando Stadium where flopped #ThankYouSABC concert started 2&half hrs late. pic.twitter.com/dF0PTYeePg

Half of Americans Have Social Media Profiles: Study
The percentage of Americans age 12 and older who have a profile on one or more social networking Web sites has reached almost half (48 percent) of the population in 2010 — double the level from two years ago (24 percent in 2008), according to a new national survey from Arbitron, Inc. and Edison Research.
The percentage of Americans age 12 and older who have a profile on one or more social networking Web sites has reached almost half (48 percent) of the population in 2010 — double the level from two years ago (24 percent in 2008), according to a new national survey from Arbitron, Inc. and Edison Research. What's more, the Internet has surpassed TV as the "most essential" medium in consumers' lives.
The study, "Infinite Dial 2010: Digital Platforms and the Future of Radio," also reveals that consumer use of social networking sites isn't just a youth phenomenon. While nearly eight in 10 teens (78 percent) and 18- to 24-year-olds (77 percent) have personal profile pages, almost two-thirds of 25- to 34-year-olds (65 percent) and half of 35- to 44-year-olds (51 percent) also now have personal profile pages. The study also shows that 30 percent of Americans age 12 and older, who have a profile on at least one social networking Web site, use those sites "several times a day" compared with only 18 percent one year ago.
"The use of social networking sites has expanded beyond younger consumers, with substantial numbers of Americans over the age of 35 now using social media," said Bill Rose, SVP of marketing at Columbia, Md.-based Arbitron.
"Social networking has become a part of mainstream media behavior," added Tom Webster, VP of strategy and marketing at Somerville, N.J.-based Edison Research.
Since 1998, this research series has reported on and analyzed consumer use of the Internet and digital platforms, and their impact on radio. "Americans continue to hold radio in high regard, with nearly eight in 10 saying they plan to listen to as much AM/FM radio in the future as they do now, despite advances of technology" noted Rose.
"Younger consumers show interest in radio on mobile phones," observed Webster. "More than four in 10 mobile phone owners age 12 to 24 say they would listen more to FM radio if a tuner were built into those phones."
Some of the study's key findings include:
—The Internet passes TV as "most essential" medium in Americans' lives: For the first time, more Americans say the Internet is "most essential" to their lives when given a choice along with television, radio, and newspapers; 42 percent chose the Internet as "most essential," with 37 percent selecting television, 14 percent choosing radio and 5 percent opting for newspapers. While television still leads among those over the age of 45, Internet dominates among younger people age 12 to 44
—More than six in 10 households with Internet access have a Wi-Fi network at home: Sixty-two percent of homes with Internet access have wireless network setups in their homes, more easily enabling the consumption of digital media in any room of their home, as more and more devices feature built-in Wi-Fi, such as the new Apple iPad
—Texting has become a daily activity for nearly half of all mobile phone owners: Almost half of mobile phone owners (45 percent) age 12 and older text multiple times a day. Three quarters of teens (75 percent) and people age 18 to 24 (76 percent) text multiple times a day, vs. nearly two thirds (63 percent) of 25-to-34s, four in 10 (42 percent) 35-to-44s, and 37 percent of 45-to-54s
—Broadband access has leveled and growth has stabilized for some digital platforms: Growth of residential broadband has leveled off, with 84 percent of homes with Internet access having broadband connections. The slower growth of residential broadband is associated with little year-over-year change in weekly usage of online radio (17 percent) and online video (29 percent). The study suggests that expanded use of mobile devices and in-car Internet may spark the next wave of growth

As the saying goes, money makes money.
In the case of agriculture, farmers want their research and development bodies, like Australian Wool Innovation, to rethink the way they spend their money and make farms more financially viable.
This week, they joined scientists and consultants from south-west NSW to rank their research priorities for the wool industry.
The goal of the meeting was to provide feedback to AWI and shape its future investment.
Gus Manatsa, AWI's program manager for feedbase resource management and environment, says there are a couple of research areas he's keen to progress.
"If we can find ways of identifying new species or pasture species that are already there, that utilise phosphorous more efficiently, that will help reduce costs on farm."
Tarcutta farmer Grant Burbidge wants to see a viable alternative to mulesing and an improvements to farm technologies.
"We need to take a close look at our we actually do things and see if we can come up with some novel approaches to reducing the labour efficiency.
"For instance with drenching, you may be able to have radio frequency operated capsules.
"You put them into an animal once, you dial up which drench and the dose you need at some time in the future.
"That's one area. There are a whole stack of areas we should be looking at in the future."
It's a big list of research priorities, that could cost millions of dollars, so are they achievable?
Jim Virgona, from Graminus Consulting, says the industry needs to be realistic.
"Young people are smart, they see the writing on the wall.
"While having scholarships is great, the next thing is, who is going to employ me ?
"Declines in departments of primary industries, changes in emphasis in CSIRO, all those things are a bit of worry to people aspiring to have a career that would influence on farm practice in the wool industry."

Many people really feel that you must be brought into this world with all the gift of preparing food to excel at it. But that isn't so. By educating yourself and immersing your self in the main topic of cooking food, it could become something you get better at. This informative article can aid you to develop your abilities and add to your confidence in cooking.
Ensure you are storing your spices and herbs in a cool, dark place. Several aspects can cause herbs and spices to reduce their flavoring. Gentle, humidity, as well as heat can all make them lose some of their flare. To prevent this, make sure you are saving your natural herbs someplace just like a awesome cabinet.
Make use of a durable, zip-fasten plastic-type travelling bag to different pan drippings. Following roasting meats, dump the pan drippings into a zip-secure plastic material travelling bag. Permit the fat increase to the very top. Cautiously snip away among the bottom sides around the travelling bag, and pour out of the fat-totally free broth. The fat will continue to be inside the plastic-type case, and you will find a tasty broth as being a foundation for gravy or possibly a marinade.
Soaring the dough calls for determination and an best setting. Don't just abandon the container with all the dough where by it's not with your way. Create the best circumstances for the best results. Get a spot with continuous, more comfortable temperatures without write. Constantly altering heat and write helps to make the dough climb slowly and unevenly.
To improve your degree of convenience in your kitchen, something you can do is usually to freeze out the excess sauces which you make, in ice cubes cube trays. This will allow you to reheat them if you want sauce once more and also to save cash on the excess sauce which what does pompano fish taste like you held.
When you have at any time questioned the freshness of the eggs you got so you don't know regardless of if the ovum with your refrigerator are still useable or otherwise, it is possible to bust them individually in to a mug to find out if they may be very good or otherwise. If you want to analyze a number of chicken eggs, place them in a pan of amazing, salted h2o. Use the types drifting at the top and dispose of those who drain to the base of the pan.
Often it can seem to be like a good idea to heap on all of your ingredients in to the pan in order to save you time from needing to prepare every one of them as a stand alone. Even so, this can only extend the cooking method as most food products need room to breathe in the pan cooking effectively whilst washing the spices. Go ahead and take more amount of time for you to prepare food them spread out out properly from the pan and you'll have got a much better tasting dish.
Abandon the bone inside a roast to quicken preparing food. By leaving behind the bone fragments in, warmth movements to the within the meat speedier, increasing the cooking method. Because the bone fragments transmits warmth, the complete roast prepares much more uniformly through the lower of beef by leaving behind it in instead of removing it.
Should you be looking to lower the salt content from the meals you prepare food, have a cautious evaluate your liven shelf. Several ready seasoning are interestingly rich in sodium, whether or not they have got a salty taste. And naturally, prevent adding typical sea salt. Check out natural herbs and less complicated spices or herbs to include taste without salt.
You might be on the highway now to home-cooking accomplishment. Make use of your creativity to create some scrumptious meals when you are food preparation and taking advantage of new quality recipes. With the fantastic food items from different countries, the sky is the reduce in relation to selection and ingenuity with your cooking!

The TRU Single Serve K-Cup Coffee Machine is an alternative single serve coffee maker for those of you who may want to spend less to just brew K-Cups. It features a patented Cup-Injection design, and has a stainless steel boiler heating system. the TRU single serve K-Cup coffee machine also will Auto Shut-Off after 30 Minutes, and features a rather large given the footprint of the machine removable 1 Liter water tank with removable drip tray.
The TRU Single Serve K-Cup Coffee Machine will brew only K-Cups, and not K-Carafe or Vue packs.
Are you thinking about getting a Keurig 2.0 single serve coffee maker? If so we have a comprehensive set of reviews to give you all the details you need to make your decision to enter the world of Keurig 2.0 or stay put with your 1.0 Keurig brewer.
Do you currently own a Keurig 2.0 brewer? Our reviews provide an overview of the various features like K-Carafe packs and the larger brewing options, along with navigating the various menus. The reviews / guides below are very helpful for new owners of Keurig 2.0, and you may be surprised to find out about the hidden features of Keurig 2.0 as well.
Did you know you had some type of data port in the bottom of your Keurig 2.0? We found it tucked away underneath the Keurig 2.0 (read our article here) waiting to be used at some later point. Is it going to connect to the Keurig Cold coming out soon? Is it going to be used to connect to AOL by dialing out using a modem? :-) Keurig Green Mountain had provided us the answer on what this mystery port is...
The "port" on the bottom of the system is similar to the port you would plug a landline phone into in your home. This was included in the new Keurig 2.0 brewers to give the future ability to connect an accessory to give the brewer internet connectivity, should consumers opt in and wish to do so. This port is not currently in use and any future uses are still in the early stages of innovation.

This port is not currently in use and any future uses are still in the early stages of innovation.
So there you have it. It's to future proof the Keurig 2.0 and perhaps give us recipes to download or to be able to connect to the Keurig 2.0 over our smartphone for smart home uses. Who knows? What do you think they'll use the port for in the future?
We reach the end of a long journey today with Part 3 of our 3-part Keurig 2.0 Mega Review where we discuss our main likes, dislikes & nitpicks about the new 2.0 brewers, our discovery of a hidden port under the machine (do we have your attention now?) & our final conclusion about the new 2.0 brewer series.
What did we like?
- Overall design/look of the new brewers. They seem to have a nicer, more modern look which appears to be a fusion of various design cues from the old Keurig 1.0 Series B70 brewers & the Keurig (1.5 Series?) Vue V700 brewers.
- The designing ingenuity which went into creating the retractable K-Cup piercing needle mechanism. As we noted in Part 2 of our Mega Review, this level of design is something we'd be expecting to see come out of Apple's Cupertino offices… not Keurig Green Mountain. The fact that Legos inspired it further shows that amazing things can come from the most simple of ideas.
If you're looking for a Nespresso capsule alternative you may want to check out Mixpresso. Made in Italy, Mixpresso offers 4 different espresso capsule options and they also have their own single serve espresso machines:
They have 3 different machines with the main difference being color. There's Logan, Isabelle, and Steve. We're pretty sure these machines are Nespresso capsule compatible as well.
We continue today with Part 2 of our 3-part Keurig 2.0 Mega Review (you can read Part I here) by checking out the new menu system, discussing how to brew various packs in the new brewers and we also cover new features which you'll only find on the new 2.0 brewers. One thing we'd like to tackle before we get started (and something we forgot to mention in Part 1) is how you can determine whether or not K-Cups & Vue Packs are 2.0 compatible before you even open the box.
We're all familiar with the old Keurig Brewed logo and while most people will think this automatically means they're getting 2.0 K-Cups or Vue Packs… this is NOT the case. Instead, you now need to look for even NEWER logos on the packaging. The new K-Cup compatibility logo is a colored rectangle with a circled checkmark on top which contains the words "For use in all Keurig K-Cup brewers". While we're not entirely 100% certain if boxes featuring this new logo might still contain older 1.0 K-Cups (since the use of the word all can be considered somewhat vague), we can however confirm that all the new boxes with this logo in our latest online orders & in-store purchases DID contain the newer 2.0 K-Cups which feature the Keurig Brewed grey/white ring around the lid.
When Keurig first announced earlier this year that it was working on a new brewer which could brew both K-Cups & full carafes of coffee, we were left scratching our head as we thought the whole point of a single serve coffee machine was to… well… serve single servings of coffee. Why would anyone want a single serve coffee machine to make an entire pot (or carafe as Keurig prefers to call it) of coffee? Single serve machines were built specifically to get rid of the old customs of brewing full pots only to have them go stale or burnt (if left on a hot plate) before anyone could finish drinking the entire pot. More often then not, we'd end up dumping more coffee down the sink drain than what would end up in our mugs throughout the course of a day.
When compared to K-Cups or Vue-Packs, the new K-Carafe Packs are considerably larger (think of an oversized Travel Mug Vue-Pack) and appear to contain much more coffee. When you first realize how oversized these things are, it comes as a bit of a surprise and makes sense why you only get 8 in a retail box. That wasn't the only surprise that the new Keurig 2.0 brewer would hold in store for us. The very controversial decision to implement DRM and make the brewer only brew licensed/coded K-Cups caused much stir and vitriol from consumers & competitors alike. Companies which were already making several unlicensed K-Cups were angry that Keurig was effectively locking them out from being able to brew their products on the new machine. Anti-competitive lawsuits emerged and all sorts of issues arose around the matter.
Both USA & Canada will be getting a Costco exclusive model of the Keurig 2.0 dubbed the K560. From what we can tell, there's no mechanical or physical difference between a K560 and K550 machine. There doesn't appear to be any extra features on the K560 and the K-Carafe is still the same type you'd get with a K550.
What IS different however is that the Keurig 2.0 water filter handle & 2 filter refills are included, plus instead of the "4 K-Carafe Packs and 8 K-Cups" standard sample pack, you get 4 K-Carafe Packs and 48 K-Cups. Final price is $149.99 USD.
Canadian Costco customers may have to pay higher ($169.99 CAD) but they also get a slight bit more as instead of 48 K-Cups, they get 60. Other than the higher price and 12 extra K-Cups, there's no difference between the USA K560 & Canadian K560 models on either Costco site.
Amazon.com also has the same K560 package as Costco USA, yet they're selling it for $199.99 USD instead.
News from early adopters is that there's a few issues with the machines:
At Keurig 2.0 K560 Bonus Bundle
Update: We received some updated pricing and info regarding the Keurig 2.0 Bundle
CNET has a feature on Keurig 2.0 and the K500 model brewer. The full photo slideshow is at: The K500 is Keurig 2.0's flagship brewer and you can see their video review here. The K500 AKA the Keurig 2.0 550 model left them feeling bitter. What made them feel bitter? For them the only reason to buy the Keurig 2.0 550 brewer is to get the ability to brew a carafe of coffee, and since the DRM prevents you from using unlicensed K-Cups the value is just not their for this new brewer.
For us the ability to brew with the carafe is interesting, and being able to use the recyclable VUE format along with K-Cups is a plus. We'll have to see whether it leaves a bitter taste for us. We're hoping the claims of it also being a better K-Cup brewer hold true, and that brewing K-Cups in Keurig 2.0 makes better coffee, tea, and other drinks.

Would Warren Buffett buy Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd shares?
Warren Buffett made a mint buying shares of The Coca-Cola Company almost three decades ago, but he might not buy Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (ASX: CCL) shares.
When I say he has made a mint, I mean it.
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, currently owns 9.33% of The Coca-Cola Company. In US dollar terms, that stake is worth around $US 17 billion (with a 'b').

Warren Buffett made a mint buying shares of The Coca-Cola Company almost three decades ago, but he might not buy Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (ASX: CCL) shares.
When I say he has made a mint, I mean it.
His company, Berkshire Hathaway, currently owns 9.33% of The Coca-Cola Company. In US dollar terms, that stake is worth around $US 17 billion (with a 'b').
But get this…
This year, he will receive almost half of what it cost him — in dividends alone. In dollar terms, he paid a little more $US1 billion for a stake in the company in 1988 — he stands to receive around $US 560 million in dividends in 2017.
Would Buffett buy Coca-Cola Amatil?
Coca-Cola Amatil is Australia's bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola products. It also distributes Coca-Cola — and other brands, like Mount Franklin, Monster and coffee — to four neighbouring countries.
The Buffett-Munger checklist
In a 2009 interview with the BBC, Buffett's investing partner Charlie Munger revealed the duo's simple investing checklist. Let's run Coca-Cola Amatil through their four-part filter.
1. They must be capable of understanding the business.
Coca-Cola Amatil distributes world renowned products owned by the Coca-Cola Company. Amatil is nearly 30% owned by its parent. As a shareholder in the parent company, I think Buffett would have no problem understanding Coca-Cola Amatil.
2. The business must have a durable competitive advantage.
Having been around for decades, Coca-Cola products are unique and sought after by customers. While there are fears many could switch to Pepsi, Coca-Cola products have an advantage in that they are the only Coca-Cola products.
While Coca-Cola Amatil does not own the brands, its exclusive right to distribute the beverages extends the competitive advantage to it.
3. Management must have integrity and talent.
Coca-Cola Amatil has many experienced individuals at its highest ranks. CEO Alison Watkins has experience in consumer goods, but also in banking and agriculture. With two-thirds of her remuneration tied to the performance of the company and rights to 774,000 shares, her interests appear aligned with shareholders. She is overseen by an experienced board lead by David Gonski.
4. No business is worth an infinite price.
Buffett and Munger made Berkshire into a $US430 billion company by buying great businesses at good prices. In my opinion, I doubt they would see Coca-Cola Amatil shares as a bargain today. On face value, they appear cheaper than their parent but it does not have its brand power, diversification and economics.
Foolish Takeaway
In summary, I think many of the appealing features of The Coca-Cola Company are passed on to Coca-Cola Amatil. However, there are some features that are missing and Amatil is, at its core, simply a manufacturer.
While Buffett might be tempted to buy it, given its current valuation and his existing Coca-Cola shares, I doubt he'd enter a position in Coca-Cola Amatil anytime soon.

Movies I tend to watch comedies, such as The Ugly Truth, I Love You Man, Killers. Then again I'm a guy so I always enjoy my action movies as well.
I don't watch too much T.V. but whenever I do it is usually sitcoms.
I listen to just about anything for music, really depends on what mood I'm in. My favorite bands are Avenged Sevenfold, Skillet, Dirks Bentley, Toby Keith, Ludachris, and sometimes Justin Timberlake (especially with The Lonely Island)

Bernice's Halloween Spiders
Recipe by Lindas Busy Kitchen
Quick N Easy to make, these little BUGGERS are GREAT for your next Halloween Party! Kids love these yummy treats, but don't think the adults won't like them, because they are a hit with both young and old! Serving size varies, depending on how big you make the spiders, and how many of the noodles you use along with the chocolate.
Top Review by nkoprince08
These are SO yummy!! I made a couple of changes by adding 3 T. of peanut butter to the chocolate chips when I melted them and stirring quartered mini marshmallows in with the chow mein noodles. I think I should have added a few more chow mein noodles because mine looked more like chocolate blobs than spiders, but they were still cute and most important they tasted delicious :)

Di Majo Norante are trying to save ancient grape varieties that teeter on the brink of extinction in their region. This is a clean organic wine with aromas of tinned pineapple, passionfruit, white flowers and fresh herbs. On the palate it's a fairly yeasty full-bodied white wine with waxy lemon, pear, pineapple, fennel and bitter pomegranate.
The vines are on average 15 years old and grow on clay soils. Fermentation takes place in steel vats and the juice is left on the skins to macerate for just over a day. Malolactic fermentation adds complexity to the 10,000 bottles made. This is very versatile with food, but is particularly good with fish, creamy sauces and salads.

This page is to document all German Union Chancellors from its implementation to its disbanding. Note, the years of 1441-1445 do not have a chancellor.
Heinrich von Wasserburg (1445-1449)
Heinrich von Wasserburg was a Bavarian candidate for the German Union Chancellery. He was campaigning against Adolf Adelzhausen-Brandt for the May-July Primaries. He won with a percentage vote of 68%. He was moved onto the General Election, facing Archbishop Victor Friedel from Hesse, Johann von Osna from Oldenburg, and Bernhard Marius from Hamburg. In the election, he was voted first of the four, beating Bernhard Marius, who came second.
Rule As Chancellor
He was not a particularly active Chancellor, not doing much in the Union until the last three years of his reign. In those three years, he proposed two laws. One was in 1446, the Alliance and Merchant Act. It made a permanent alliance between all members of the Union, as well as a permanent trade agreement, and allowed the use of Landshut for economic and trade uses. His second legislation was the Militia and Navy Act, in 1448. This act was to make a military force from all the member nations in order to protect Baltic Sea trade.
Heinrich von Welfsina (1450-1454)
Heinrich von Welfinsa was a Hessian candidate for the German Union Chancellery. He campaigned against Albrecht Elderwech in the primaries, winning at 85%. He then moved to the General Election, up against Heinrich von Wasserburg from Bavaria, Wilhelm von Luneburg from Hamburg, and Johann Alburg from Oldenburg. He won against Wilhelm von Luneburg, who came second in the elections.
Rule As Chancellor
He at first did not do much until his last year as Chancellor. In the last year, he proposed three laws, the Territorial Successionist Act, the Chancellery Army Act, and the Call To Arms Act. The TS Act detailed the Chancellor's power to take any land from a country and put it into the hands of another in the event of a major war for protection of the populous. The CA Act detailed an army raised specifically for the protection of the Chancellor and his home in Osnabruck. The army would compose of 1,000 men, 250 men coming from each nation. The final act, the CTA Act, detailed the Chancellor's power to make any country go to war with a non-member state. The act also stated the Chancellor could switch a nation's side in the war. (Example, Austria & Hamburg VS Prussia. The Chancellor could make Hamburg switch to Prussia's side.)

10 ways with... eggs
With so many uses, eggs must be one of our all-time favourite ingredients. Being the base of both sweet and savoury classic dishes, there's so much the humble egg can offer. Separated and whipped, the egg whites add loads of light and airy bubbles to dishes, while the yolks can be whisked to become thick and creamy giving whatever you're making a rich and smooth flavour.
Of course eggs are delicious served as they come, boiled, fried, poached or scrambled but we think they can be made even more wonderful with these clever ways to make them into desserts, sauces, spreads and dinners. Low in calories and full of protein, eggs are healthy too!

This summer
I hadn't planned to stop posting for quite so long—but, it happened anyway. So here's a quick recap of the last few months:
The summer began with an extended vacation in Sicily, although, I use "vacation" lightly, as turns out that taking a 6-month-old baby to a "foreign" country during a heat wave and mosquito infestation isn't exactly relaxing (do you know how much gear a baby at the beach requires?). But, off we went and got our fill of sun and gelato and seafood and we even (somehow) managed to fit in a road trip.
We spent a week driving around the island, first renting a house on the northern coast in Scopello and then on the southern coast in Marina di Ragusa. The rest of our 5 weeks were spent in R's hometown, introducing RF to his Sicilian family and R's childhood haunts.
When we returned with our 23094820394 pieces of luggage, I would have loved to relax a bit and enjoy a truly spectacular Swedish summer (warm, sunny, and hallelujah, no humidity!), but we jumped right into house hunting because nothing has changed on the crazy Swedish real estate market front and as our apartment rental contract is ending soon, we decided we needed to get serious about buying so we wouldn't have the stress of possibly being kicked out at any time weighing down on us. So rather than spend days picnicking on the waterfront for the last few weeks of R's paternity leave, we borrowed a car to explore neighborhoods and visit open houses that coincided with RF's nap time.
Then, as if that wasn't enough to keep us from lazing about this summer, I went back to work part-time just as RF turned 8 months old and could be away from me for longer periods of time (a concept that was simultaneously liberating and devastating), and now both R and I each work part-time and stay home to take care of RF part-time, which we'll hopefully be able to continue doing until it's time for our little munchkin to start förskola/dagis (pre-school) next spring.
And that—with walks, fika's, baby playdates, baby-proofing the house to keep our crawling / standing / cruising little guy safe, a bit of knitting here and there, and the return of cocktail hour—was our summer. How was yours?
