In This Together – How Fine Wine is re-thinking its Collective Models
Collective models have defined wine production for decades. In every winemaking country, producers have come together in local, regional and/or national enterprises to shape a common vision for quality, process and promotion. Individuals joined collective systems to achieve common economic goals.
In recent years, many of those people involved in Fine Wine have moved away from the idea of collective action, to embrace the idea of a 'community' based on shared values. Not only has this created a new language, but also new structures – people no longer need to be part of the same geographical community to share common interests.
The pandemic has already overturned many assumptions – what does it mean for the Fine Wine community? How does it maintain a community, when people can no longer get together?
- Marc Almert, Chef Sommelier Baur au Lac & Baur au Lac Vins, ASI Best Sommelier of the World 2019
- Michael Baum, Owner and CEO, Château de Pommard and Vivant
- Vanessa Conlin MW, Head of wine, Wine Access
- Michael Moosbrugger, CEO Schloss Gobelsburg and Österreichische Traditionsweingüter President
- Raquel Seabra, Executive board member, Sogrape, Portugal
Some of the questions we discussed:
- What aspects of the appellation systems are still relevant?
- When provenance is not enough, how can we promote quality in a competitive market?
- What will a borderless Fine Wine community look like, if it's not based on geography?
- Can a community guarantee inclusivity?
- What will a collective promotion or distribution system mean for individual identities?
- What's the best way to harness Fine Wine's collective intelligence?
- What does all of this mean for a Fine Wine distributor, sommelier or consumer?
For our written analysis of this Insight Series, see our article Five reasons to consider collective models – How coming together could futureproof the Fine Wine world
The ARENI International Insight Series are part of our annual research and action programme. These events provide an exclusive platform for international thought-leaders to share ideas and address global issues collectively.

Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston had this on the importance of "diversity and inclusion" relative to combat capability:
Diversity is a number—do you have people that don't look or think like you in the room? Inclusion is listening and valuing those people[.]
Our army's Training and Doctrine Command, via its official twitter account had this:
Inclusion & Diversity is what makes our [U.S. Army] better.
No. What makes our army—our military establishment in general—is whether we have soldiers and formations of soldiers who are capable, in defense of our nation and when called of our friends and allies, of successfully engaging, pursuing, and killing our enemies' soldiers, our enemies' formations, our enemies' capability of mounting further attacks.
That's also who we should see "in the room." And no one else. Diversity will fall out of that, if we do a proper job of training for combat, rather than for political correctness. Every combat or combat support training graduate will be included—and that's the inclusiveness that we need.
Our current military management's (we seem to have a serious lack of leadership) emphasis on "diversity and inclusion" for their own sake, as epitomized by Grinston, is divisive, it's stinking racism and sexism.
Grinston had the…political correctness…to make his claim against the backdrop of the travesty exploding in Afghanistan. About that contrast, Marine veteran Jessie Jane Duff is on the right track [emphasis hers].
This is what matters: 11 Marines and one Navy Corpsman killed. Americans.
I'm positive they didn't look or think like you, Sergeant Major. Every flag drapped coffin looks the same.
We have an #AfghanistanCrisis and this is your tweet. Shameful.
Maybe it's time to clear out the foolish and the idiotic who choose not to understand what it takes to have an effective military. Maybe it's time to discharge or retire our military managers, from the Secretary of Defense and JCS Chief on down through most of the flag and GS equivalents in the Pentagon.

Long-time readers can skip the first paragraph if they remember this story.
The longest Christmas Party I ever attended was with my ex-girlfriend Julia. She was my ex-girlfriend at the time, and had been for about a week-and-a-half. I had broken things off a couple weeks before Christmas, and that was going to make things difficult for her. So I agreed, without much hesitation, to go to the family Christmas party and she would let everyone know we broke up after. Her brother's then-girlfriend (now wife) didn't like me for some reason. She got wind of it, and told everybody. But she didn't tell me, or Julia, that everybody knew. Nobody said a word, but it was three hours of exceptionally cold treatment.
Last week was the Residency Dinner for my wife's work. That's where they honor the residents and instructing physicians, like my wife, are expected to be there. Which, hey, it's free food and a nice night on the town. There are worse things.
One of my wife's colleagues is on her way out, and not by her choice. In the jobs where my wife has worked, doctors aren't fired but rather have contracts that are not renewed. The result is that you are fired way in advance of your departure date. Sometimes months. This can be kind of awkward because your final couple months there, everybody knows that you've been fired. And so it was this this doc. Except this doc, by dint of the occasion, was actually given an award. By the director that fired her. In front of a room full of people that know exactly what happened.
The thing is, this isn't even the first time this has happened. It's the first time it's happened at this job, but it happened twice under her previous one (which did the same contract thing) at the "Physician Appreciation Dinner". One involved a doctor who wasn't fired, but was pressured to resign due to health reasons. But she had the social obligation to go to the PAD, be a part of the slideshow, accept some certificate thing, and be thanked for the job that she was being told not to do anymore. The other one was even more complicated, with a physician that was fired and then was mysteriously unfired. All in the run-up to the PAD.
It's all kind of a surreal experience.
One that kind of hits close to home. In Arapaho, Clancy really got the sense that the only reason they didn't fire her was because they couldn't replace her. It's not that she was bad at her job – in fact, none of the three mentioned above were actually bad at their jobs – but some people (or at least one person) just didn't like her. But there was always a feeling like if they could just find someone else to do the job, they wouldn't renew. Well, it's good to be needed and all, but it's not fun to work in a place where you are merely tolerated. Attending a PAD by people who are just tolerating you isn't as bad as doing so when they just fired you, but it's vaguely familiar.
I am happy to report that none of this is an issue at her current job. Her contract was renewed last week without much fanfare.

Cal Cunningham has had a tough week. On July 7, a new report uncovered that Cunningham's company received between $1-2 million in funding from the Paycheck Protection Program, saving an estimated 115 jobs. But Cunningham has regularly trashed the program on the campaign trail, even while his business benefited from it.
Every day this week Cunningham has shifted his story, tying himself into a human pretzel to explain away these transparent contradictions. Cunningham claimed he had left the company before the loan application went out and wasn't involved, but later admitted he was aware of it. His campaign claimed he was not employed by the company, then admitted that wasn't true and claimed he was paid on an hourly basis, and now claims he was being paid on retainer. Cunningham has laughably even claimed he supports the program, when there is a well-documented paper trail of Cunningham calling the program "unacceptable" and claiming it "harms communities" of color, as well as ironically decrying loans "ending up in the wrong hands."
The funny thing is, Cunningham wrapping himself around the axle over the minutiae of his employment details misses the forest for the trees. Cunningham admits he knew the company was applying for a loan all while he was trashing it on the campaign trail to score political points. He's a hypocrite, and now he's lying to try to cover his tracks.
Cunningham should be thanking Thom Tillis for passing the Paycheck Protection Program into law and saving over 100 jobs at Cunningham's company. We won't hold our breath.

An Army recruiter was one of seven men arrested in Utah recently during a multi-agency operation against child sex crimes, according to The Spectrum, a USA Today affiliate.
Staff Sgt. Jason Everette Livermore, 30, of St. George, Utah, was arrested Feb. 15, charged with two counts of criminal solicitation, a first-degree felony, and enticing a minor, a second-degree felony, according to KSL-TV, a CBS affiliate.
Each man was arrested after responding to a fake ad placed on websites "known to produce child trafficking activities and child predators," Parowan police said, according to KSL.
Livermore responded to an ad on Craigslist offering "family love" in the St. George area, according to KSL, and arranged to have sex with a 12-year-old and her 39-year-old mother. He was arrested after arriving at a house in Paragonah, according to The Spectrum.
The ad was created by Veterans for Child Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting child sex trafficking.
V4CR worked on the operation in coordination with the Parowan police, the Iron County Sheriff's Office, Iron County Attorney's Office, Iron/Garfield/Beaver Narcotics Task Force, Homeland Security Investigation, and the Utah Highway Patrol.
Livermore "knew what he was doing was wrong. He claims he has never done this in the past but did have full intention for completing the sex acts today with the child," the charging documents say, according to KSL.
Livermore, whose primary MOS is 92G food service specialist, has been on assignment with the St. George Recruiting Station in Utah since May 9, 2016, according to Kelli Bland, director of public affairs for U.S. Army Recruiting Command.
He has been suspended from all recruiting duties while under investigation, Bland said.
"Army Recruiting Command takes all allegations of misconduct seriously. We do not tolerate inappropriate behavior by anyone in our command," Bland told Army Times in an email.
"We are the Army's ambassadors to communities across America, and it is important for everyone on our team to live and demonstrate the Army Values every day."

If there's one thing you can count on in the fashion and beauty industries, it's that everything will inevitably repeat itself. This is true with a modern twist when it comes to retro hairstyles. Their favorite celebrities often see them on catwalks and red carpets. This post is about the classic retro style of the beehive hairstyle. Hives are considered larger than life and make a lasting impression regardless of who uses them.
Today's beehive hairstyles
When you're feeling just as adventurous and nostalgic, maybe you should try adding some spice to your strands. Modern beehives are a bit more daring than those of the past, making them ideal for experimenting without fear of dates or costumes. For those of you who are ready to dive into this classic hairstyle, we have prepared a wealth of inspiration. Here are hairstyles for a variety of hair types – have fun and experience the beehive!
Curly and twisted hive
This style shows that beehive hair shouldn't be boring or one-note. This current approach to the hairstyle adds just the right amount of fresh innovation to make it attractive to younger women while still looking fresh and intriguing to older women. Related Posts Cute Shapes of
Lavender Beehive Bun with Flowers
The best phrase to describe this floral beehive is probably incredibly beautiful. This beehive is perfect for a romantic evening on the town with its soft thick candy pink bangs and a twisted bow at the nape. Of course, the finishing touch is the bright flowers that are placed on top to look like a festive wreath.
Beehive Curl Pin
While taking two separate hairstyles and combining them is not a new practice, the result deserves attention when the two styles in question are very retro. That is exactly what this beehive curl does, as it maintains its familiar shape until you get to the back where there are several pin curls. It is topped with tightly curled short thick bangs.
Beehive Half Up Half Down
If you love a ruffle hairstyle but don't want to fully commit to it, then the half up / half down style is a worthwhile alternative. Essentially, in a simple beehive, the upper half of the hair is shaped, but the back is left down and filled with soft curls. The deep side-swept bangs add a delicate layer of polish.
Swirl hive
Creating different varieties of the same basic hairstyle is part of the fun you experience when you interpret the vision of your hair. This beehive swirl is a perfect example: not only does it play with the shape, but it also deceives the eye. The normal hive is formed, but it is created in an open swirl rather than tucking in the ends.
Messy Beehive with Side Swept Face Framing
It couldn't get more modern than this if you want to bring the hive to the current age. This beehive-shaped version is messy with a side-swept pop, but it also has enough sparkle to make it editorial and trendy. Added as a headband, the beautiful accessory provides a feminine and festive brush.
Low Bun Beehive
How can you achieve a retro and modern hybrid hairstyle? Well, the answer is this beautiful beehive fur, which is almost too beautiful to believe. The ruffle is wonderfully softened with the development of a low bun at the nape. This style is ideal for a wedding ceremony with such an elegant look.
Half Up Beehive for Wavy Hair
Much like the half up / half down design seen in the images above, this is the same concept, except soft flowing waves are applied to the texture. Complementing the long waves at the back are the high ruffle at the top and the straight bangs that draw attention to the eyes.
Braided bun ruffle
Braids and buns come together with a sound like a winning combination, but things get even more complicated when you add a beehive to the mix. A low bun is created by a collection of braids that start along the sides and then wrap around the base of the bun. The look is completed with a carefully shaped ruffle and soft side bangs.
Faint red hive
Wispy hair is usually perfect for adding a dose of whimsy to your casual look. That's the product of this wispy beehive hairstyle that isn't overly polished or sculpted but has a finish that gives it a windswept look thanks to gently curled strands of hair that escape around the crown and nape of the neck. the sides.
Honey Blonde Beehive with Headband
A selection of blonde highlights and bee-trimmed hair accessories are the highlights of this side-swept beehive take. The largest section of hair is formed in a ruffle where the bangs are swept and pinned to the side while the loose curls cascade gracefully from under the ruffle.
Partial ruffle side braid
This beehive version features braided sides that form a messy knot in the middle. Without much bulk, the hive is quite small here and sits on top. We love the light wavy look and the gorgeous pearl blonde hair color.
Beehive with turned ends
Think of this hive as a slightly more sophisticated version of the above. They all have short and long hair, but this style adds flipped ends and a wispy side fringe.
French-style tall beehive
It's certainly not trendy and nostalgic as this beehive would look like in the 1960s. This means getting this done today without looking like you belong in a theme party is more difficult, but if you've got the guts, go for it.
Curly hive
This voluminous, beehive-shaped hair is centered in a huge curly crown. The back is carefully curled, allowing the golden blonde's curls to remain the theme.
it is deliberately reinterpreted this season, which explains the triumphant return of the hive. If the looks above reflect anything, it is without a doubt that the beehive hairstyle is still a style that resonates with those who like a bit of nostalgia for their hairstyle. However, whichever hive variant you choose, be sure to look amazing in it!

International Space Station could be followed by commercial space stations after 2030, NASA says
Will China's space station complicate things in low-Earth orbit?
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — NASA hopes that commercial space stations will orbit Earth once the International Space Station eventually retires, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said today (Aug. 25) at the 36th Space Symposium.
The space station, which was completed in 2011, could retire as soon as 2024. However, today, Nelson revealed that he expects the orbiting lab to last to 2030 and that NASA hopes it will be replaced by commercial labs in orbit.
"We expect to expand the space station as a government project all the way to 2030. And we hope it will be followed by commercial stations," Nelson said during a "Heads of Agency" panel alongside other space leaders from around the world.
Related: The International Space Station can't last forever. Here's how it will eventually die by fire.
Now, while NASA hopes for commercial space stations to take over as the International Space Station nears the end of its tenure, China has already begun building its own space station. And, as NASA is prohibited from engaging in bilateral activities with China, this move by China is more competitive than collaborative.
"Unfortunately, I believe we're in a space race with China," Nelson said during the panel. "I'm speaking on behalf of the United States, for China to be a partner. I'd like China to do with us as a military adversary, like Russia has done ... I would like to try to do that. But China is very secretive, and part of the civilian space program is that you've got to be transparent."
Nelson pointed to Russia's longstanding history as a collaborator alongside NASA in space, despite ongoing political divides back on Earth. While there have been many issues and instances of tension between the nations in space, most recently with Russia's new Nauka module causing the space station to tailspin after it accidentally fired its thrusters post-docking.

The situation with Nauka has sparked questions about the state of NASA's current relationship and status with Russia's space agency Roscosmos. This situation is further complicated by the fact that Russia and China are collaborating on a moon base together.
However, Nelson is confident in NASA's partnership with Russia.
The pair have been "enemies, even in the midst of the Cold War, that can come together and find a common denominator in the civilian space," Nelson said.

One of the world's first photojournalists, Paul Martin was born on April 16, 1864 in Herbeuville, France. Five years' later, his family moved to Paris where they were subjected to the horrors associated with the Franco-Prussian War and the radical Paris Commune socialist movement in 1870-1871. His family later relocated to London, which would become Paul Martin's lifelong home. His interest in drawing led him to become a Fleet Street wood engraving apprentice in 1880, and he turned professional three years' later.
Mr. Martin initially became acquainted with photography during his apprenticeship, and bought his first dry-plate camera in 1884. He educated himself on various techniques described in industry journals and received further instruction from local amateur photography groups. He developed his own unique style of composites and vignettes, and a preference for night photography. His photographs of London street life are thought to be the first candid snapshots of their kind. Mr. Martin maintained that his limited financial resources dictated his choice of street photography, but his images reveal a genuine affinity for his working-class subjects. His camera of choice was the Fallowfield Facile, a small dry-plate camera that could take up to 12 exposures and could be easily disguised in a box or bag. During the 1890s, Mr. Martin's street photographs received several exhibition awards, although some of his early works were criticized for being devoid of atmosphere and appearing "too map-like." In 1895 and 1896, his "London by Gaslight" series of photographs earned him a gold metal at the 1896 exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society. American Pictorialist photographer Alfred Stieglitz later credited Mr. Martin with inspiring him to produce his famous Manhattan night views.
Mr. Martin's newfound fame resulted in an offer from George Davison to joine the photography staff of the Eastman Kodak UK division, a position he turned down in favor of opening his own studio with Henry Gordon Dorrett, which operated under the names of Dorrett & Martin and Athol Studios. One of the earliest press photography firms, they also introduced portrait applications such as photo-buttons and various novelty items for the amateur photographer. While the business enjoyed commercial success, Mr. Martin never again regained his influential photographic standing. Dorrett & Martin closed in 1926, and Mr. Martin spent many of his post-retirement years on the lecture circuit discussing his street photography. His autobiography, Victorian Snapshots, published in 1939, was aimed at introducing his work to a new generation of realist photographers. Paul Martin died in London of natural causes on July 7, 1944. Mr. Martin would be pleased to know that his street images have become popular attractions at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford, England; as part of the Gernsheim Collection at the University of Texas in Austin; and in the the collection at the Fine Arts Library of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.

On Giving Thanks
Having just shared another Thanksgiving meal with friends and family, it is perhaps well to remember why we give thanks as Christians–not just at Thanksgiving, but at every meal. In 1 Corinthians, Paul develops a theology of eating in response to a question regarding food sacrificed to idols. The ancient world was full of pagan temples where animals would be sacrificed to pagan deities. The meat from those sacrifices would then be sold in the meat markets. However, some people in the Corinthian congregation wondered whether they could eat meat sacrificed to idols without themselves being implicated in the idolatrous pagan sacrifice.
Paul's answer, in 1 Corinthians 8, is that it depends on the one eating the food. Those with knowledge know that God is over all, and all things are from God, and so food can be received with reference to God regardless of whether it was sacrificed to an idol. However, those without this knowledge "with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled" (1 Cor. 8:7, NKJV).
For Paul, therefore, eating is a spiritual act. Eating is about more than food. Either we eat with faith toward God, or we eat in unbelief. Therefore, Paul could hypothetically eat at an idol's temple (1 Cor. 8:10), without sinning against his conscience (although he relinquished that right, so as not to make his weaker brother stumble, a theme he expands in chapter 9). Yet it was equally possible for eating to lead to idolatry.
As Paul warns in 1 Corinthians 10, the Israelites in the wilderness ate spiritual food and drink, and yet committed idolatry, and died in the wilderness. We who eat the spiritual food of the Lord's Supper must also beware lest we fall into idolatry. The issue is one of faith. It is by faith that we become partakers of the Lord's Supper, as truly as those worshippers in the Old Testament became partakers of the altar. When we eat the bread and wine in faith, we partake of the table of the Lord and have fellowship with the body and blood of Christ. In a similar way, those who ate meat sacrificed to idols with "faith" in the idol became partakers of the table of demons and had fellowship with demons.
It is not a matter of food, but of faith. What mattered is not whether the food had been sacrificed to idols, but whether the one eating believed that they were somehow participating in the pagan sacrifice by eating the meat. Therefore, since it did not matter whether meat was offered to idols or not, Paul recommended not even asking. But if someone said that it was offered to idols, Paul said not to eat it, for the sake of the other person's conscience. "For why," asked Paul, "is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks?" (1 Cor. 10:29-30).
Thus, we come, at last, to our theme of giving thanks. If eating is a spiritual act, meant to be done in faith, then thanksgiving is the way we express our sincere faith in God for our food. Giving thanks to God shows that we are eating to the glory of God and not superstitiously. If we cannot in good conscience give thanks to God for what we are eating, we sin by eating. But if we are able to give thanks, we can eat with a clear conscience. And therefore, as Paul commands Timothy, "nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer" (1 Tim. 4:4-5). Giving thanks, far from being a mindless ritual, is a significant spiritual act. That is why Christians in every age have always thanked God for their food, as Jesus himself set an example by giving thanks at the Last Supper (1 Cor. 11:24).
8 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. 2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.4 Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol isnothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live. 7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse. 9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol's temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never again eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread.
18 Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21 You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 24 Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
25 Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions for conscience' sake; 26 for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." 27 If any of those who do not believe invites you to dinner, and you desire to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake. 28 But if anyone says to you, "This was offered to idols," do not eat it for the sake of the one who told you, and for conscience' sake; for "the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness." 29 "Conscience," I say, not your own, but that of the other. For why is my liberty judged by another man'sconscience? 30 But if I partake with thanks, why am I evil spoken of for the food over which I give thanks? 31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 32 Give no offense, either to the Jews or to the Greeks or to the church of God, 33 just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor. 8:1-13; 10:14-33, NKJV)

CWA of North Dakota held its 100 No More Rally recently, exposing the abuses of Planned Parenthood on its 100th anniversary. CWA of North Dakota State Director Linda Thorson gathered with more than 300 supporters and presented the troubling facts about Planned Parenthood's dark eugenics history:
[Audio Clip] Linda Thorson: "What we need to remember are the facts of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is a waste of our tax dollars and from the beginning was founded on a flawed foundation. Margaret Sanger, their founder, was a woman that believed only the fit deserved to live. In fact, her goal was to sterilize disabled people, poor people, and minority people."

Can peer support programs help those living with HIV? https://t.co/2aXvFFhFwO
— Better Blokes (@BetterBlokesNZ) March 15, 2020
Scott-Walker, now 40, attributes the group's success to its ability to draw members with a powerful sense of belonging and to maintain an environment where positive messaging about medication adherence unfolds organically. But that environment relies on an administrative and programming style that doesn't conform to the requirements of most federal grants, which provide billions of dollars' worth of support to HIV programs worldwide. In fact, Thrive SS's leadership credits the organization's success to a conscious decision to forgo federal funding and the requirements it entails, relying instead on foundation and pharmaceutical grants, as well as individual donors.
"An organization doesn't become worse off, per se, by taking additional funding," said Ace Robinson, director of strategic partnerships at NMAC, an organization that advocates for racial equity in HIV advocacy and outcomes. But for growing organizations, it can be such a struggle to meet the administrative requirements of some funders that in trying to do so, they compromise their mission, he said.

World Boxing Super Series finals prize money and dates
World Boxing Super Series Cruiserweight final- Title Bout
Ukraine boxer Oleksandr Usyk will fight Russian Murat Gassiev in the cruiserweight final of the World Boxing Super Series tournament.
Usyk, 31, is the WBC and WBO champion while Gassiev, 24, has the WBA and IBF belts. So this fight will decide all four belts.
Each fighter started the World Boxing Super Series with one world title belt each. But both picked up a second title during the knockout tournament. The fight will decide all of the belts in Moscow's Olimpiyskiy Arena.
The winner will be the first to receive the Muhammad Ali Trophy.
World Boxing Super Series Super Middleweight final
In an all English affair, George Groves will fight Callum Smith in September 2018. Groves had an injury after the semifinal win over Eubank Jr which has delayed the final fight. Groves will put his WBA title on the line when he faces Smith. It should be a great match!
World Boxing Prize Money Suggested Earnings
ESPN's Dan Rafael suggested pre-tournament that, 'The lure of perhaps as much $1million for the quarterfinal fights should go a long way toward attracting competitors.'
On the off chance that this were the situation, and if all things were equivalent, quarter-finalists could be bringing home $1m every, semi-finalists $2.5m each and finalists rejecting over a $8m handbag. In any case, things are infrequently equivalent in boxing and it appears to be incredibly impossible that specific contenders would consent to a similar satchel as their adversary.
World Boxing Prize Money – Super Series – Josh Taylor vs Regis Prograis
Josh Taylor and Regis Prograis will fight it out for a £4m prize store at the Muhammad Ali trophy this end of the week.
The worthwhile World Boxing Super Series keeps on remunerating contenders with enormous cheques.
Both Taylor and Prograis have just gathered over £1m so far in advancing toward this present season's light-welterweight decider.
Be that as it may, the additional impetus to lift the trophy just as turning into a brought together champion is the tremendous money prize on offer.
WBSS guaranteed huge cash prizes when it began in 2017 with a prize pot of around £38m.
That figure has been somewhat dropped this season while the transition to three loads as opposed to two has implied the cash is progressively spread out.
However, it is as yet tremendous cash for the two contenders to acquire consider their past pay parcels before entering the competition wouldn't have approached.
The prize reserve on offer and the Ali trophy implies that a fourth judge will be ringside for the battle to choose the champ if the fundamental three authorities call it as a draw.

Gilbert, AZ – For the second year in a row, Gilbert Memorial Park has received East Valley Tribune's Best Funeral Home and Cemetery award. The achievement is all the more impressive considering the funeral home has only been in operation for two years.
Though the funeral home and cemetery are new, the family behind them are not. Many Mesa residents will be familiar with the Bunker family, who have owned and operated Bunker Family Funerals & Cremation for decades. Gilbert Memorial Park's modern design, innovative cemetery, and focus on renewal and healing are a result of the Bunker family's sensitivity to the evolving needs of families.
"We are so grateful to our community for trusting and supporting us as we've embarked on this mission to change what funeral service and final resting places can be," says Bryce Bunker, President of Gilbert Memorial Park. "More than anything, we want families to feel like this is a place they can visit to peacefully reconnect with the memories of their loved ones."
Everything in both the funeral home and cemetery are designed to encourage restorative reflection and tranquility, from the landscaping to the covered patio. Other unique features found at their facilities include private family estates, chalk walls, a glass niche wall, a cremation garden, and more.
"They put all of my concerns at ease just by the kind of people they are and how they lovingly cared for my deceased loved one," says Andrea Andersen, resident. "The park is beautiful and serene. I am comforted each time I go there…I am so thankful that we have the best here in Gilbert."
Like the environment of the Park, many of the services held there are innovative and modern, allowing families to celebrate the lives of their loved ones with completely unique approaches. Gilbert Memorial Park's funeral directors are well known for working with families to plan services that are as special as the person.
See Gilbert Memorial Park in the East Valley Tribune's Best of Gilbert 2021 issue or learn more
about Gilbert Memorial Park by visiting their website.
Gilbert Memorial Park is a modern funeral home and cemetery located at 2100 East Queen Creek, Gilbert, AZ. The funeral home and cemetery opened in 2019 and has offered families a place to honor, to reflect, and to celebrate life. Settled on a beautiful plot of land with lush greenery, the cemetery offers final resting place options for both burial and cremation.

2009 Chinese Silver Coins Celebrate 60th Anniversary
October 16, 2009 by Darrin Lee Unser · Leave a Comment
Two new silver coins from China have been released to help celebrate the 60th Anniversary of their independence. Each coin reflects the power and artistry of a country that has grown to become one of the world's major powers.
The obverse (heads side) of each coin contains China's national emblem set in a frieze of peonies which are symbols of prosperity in the Chinese culture. The emblem itself consists of the famous monument Tiananmen under the light of five stars, framed with ears of grain and a cogwheel.
Tiananmen was originally built in 1420 and has since served as the entrance to the Imperial City. In fact, its name means "Gate of Heavenly Peace." The cogwheel in the emblem represents the peasantry while the ears of grain signify they working class. The five stars stand for the various nationalities that comprise the Chinese people.
The reverse (tails side) of the 1 ounce coin shows features of a modern Chinese city including skyscrapers, bridges and a high speed train. The 1 kilo coin includes various components such as rockets, satellites and the Beijing Olympic Stadium on its reverse. Both include an inscription written in Chinese characters that states "In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, 1949-2009."
China 60th Anniversary 1 oz Silver Coin
Only 6,000 of the 1 kilo silver coins will be minted along with a maximum of 100,000 of the one ounce size. Each is struck to proof quality from 99.9% pure silver and will ship with a certificate of authenticity. The 1 kilo coin carries a face value of 300 Yuan while the one ounce coin is l0 Yuan.

Good Nutrition And Illness – The Benefits Of Eating Healthy Foods
Without sufficient water and fiber, the colon becomes constipated. With a toxic liver, the body may display belly fat, a protuberant abdomen, and/or a roll of fat around the upper abdomen. Stay healthy by chalking out a diet chart for yourself.
About Weight Loss Nutrition – Why Is Weight Loss Nutrition Important
While these foods, or others to be named later, do have health benefits, they generally have a down side too. Commit yourself to staying healthy now and for the rest of your life! You want to start a business, you first write a business plan.
When it comes to following a healthy diet plan, there are pitfalls waiting for the newbie and the experienced healthy eater alike, especially if you don't have the time to research what you hear on the news. Eating right is a lifelong commitment.
The lesson is this: adequate stress management will help us make better choices. Whether this be in our nutrition, in our work, or in our wider lives. When stressed, we often revert to doing what we've always done. So that may be bad nutrition, getting too drunk, or handing in that rushed and flawed report to your boss. From the outset, it's easy to see how time management can help us avoid stress. But what other stress cures are there to keep your nutrition (and waistline) on the right track?
Remember, two (2) persons who undertake the same diet or weight loss program may experience different weight loss results due to a number of factors including, body type, conditioning, metabolism and the body's level of efficiency when burning fat.
To eat a healthy diet, you'll need fresh foods. You also will not need to overcook food, in order to maintain the nutritional values. You won't add the artificial additives and fats so often found in fast foods. Eating a healthy diet means you do a lot in the kitchen, since ordering takeout is contrary to what you are trying to accomplish.
Let's say, for example, that your doctor has told you you are at risk for diabetes as a result of extra weight. So, your doctor may put you on the "diabetes diet" to help you lose that weight. It's a little difficult at first to follow a diet in order to lose weight — and in fact it can be really, really easy to do things wrong. For example, maybe you think just one little bag of potato chips won't hurt, or that you can have just one treat. Or, maybe you think that what should be a half a cup of rice is a little too small, so you increase it to a cup.
Bone strength is very important, whether you are doing weight training or a cardio workout. Weak bones will lead to osteoporosis and increase the risk of injuries, such as fractures, while exercising. Nutrition is important to help improve the strength of your bones. You will need to have the right amount of calcium in the diet, which is gained from milk and other dairy products.
Keep up with this basic healthy diet principles and you will soon see the difference it makes. In addition, for the end, when losing weight do not count pounds lost, count inches.
Dairy products are a great source of calcium and vitamin D, which help build bone mass. Have you ever wanted to get rid of unwanted fat and become a weight loss story that you could share with others?

First off, if you haven't seen The Farewell yet, then go away now, watch it, and then come back. Lulu Wang's movie is a masterpiece, and she just revealed that Marvel Studios approached her for one of their MCU films.
The Chinese-American director revealed this little bit of trivia during one of The Hollywood Reporter Roundtable talks.
She was joined by some of Hollywood's greatest directors. She was rubbing shoulders with the likes of Martin Scorsese, Noah Baumbach, Greta Gerwig, Todd Phillips and Fernando Meirelles.
They were all having an interesting conversation about Marvel movies, which was kickstarted when the interviewer asked Scorsese to clarify the recent comments he made about those movies.
The interviewer then asked the room whether any of the directors had been asked to make a Marvel movie, and everyone shook their heads apart from Lulu who put her hand up and nodded.
She then laughed and said: "I don't know if I'm supposed to say that."

Lulu was clearly worried that she made a slip-up, but I don't think it's a bad thing to admit that Marvel Studios had come to her asking to direct one of their movies.
I'd love to find out which film she was approached to direct. My first instinct says Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, but that would be a very unoriginal choice of movie for her to direct.
Lulu would be an excellent choice for any Marvel movie and I hope they do end up working together one day.
She precisely the type of director Marvel Studios likes to work with. She's young, ambitious and talented.

Types of LED instruments
LED stage lights come in three main types. PAR cans, striplights[1] and 'moving head' types. In LED PAR cans, a round printed circuit board with LEDs mounted on is used in place of a PAR lamp. Moving head types can either be a bank of LEDs mounted on a yoke or more conventional moving head lights with the bulb replaced with an LED bank.

Mitch Riggin wanted an ocean view.
The 51-year-old director and his wife, Korina, a camera operator, both in sports television, were moving to Los Angeles from Bend, Oregon, in early 2020 for a job opportunity. They searched six months across Southern California for a home in their price range and were coming up empty.
"He said, 'If I'm going to live in L.A., I want to see the ocean,'" recalls Korina, 49, laughing. "My experience is if you want to see the ocean, you need to be in the front row of houses [along the water], and I was like, 'We don't make enough money for that.' He said, 'Well, there's San Pedro, and it's affordable.' And I'm putting affordable in quotations because who would ever think an 'affordable' house is a million bucks?"
Sure enough, the couple ended up finding a million-dollar "fixer-upper" in South Shores, complete with Mitch's ocean view, and moved in mid-March 2020, at the same time COVID-19 was declared a national pandemic.
"We bought a fixer from the original owners," recalls Mitch. "I wanted somewhere centrally located between Anaheim and Downtown L.A. I will say we got very lucky moving here during the pandemic. It gave us a lot of time to work on our house; we did a lot of stuff ourselves. And it turned out to be a pretty good place to quarantine."
The Riggins' story echoes those from others who have recently moved to San Pedro. While affordability — relative to other South Bay beach cities — seems to be the dominant reason, other factors like location and the current redevelopment blitz in downtown and on the waterfront seem to be convincing people that San Pedro is a great place to relocate, our 'surly' reputation be damned.
"We still see an overwhelming number of buyer's agents from out-of-town real estate offices closing escrow on homes in our area, which in turn should hypothetically mean the buyer they are representing is also from out of the area," says Peter Hazdovac, a real estate agent with Harper Hazdovac Real Estate Team and a San Pedro Today columnist. "To give a ballpark figure, I would say 60 to 70 percent have been out-of-town buyer's agents over the last three to five years."
Instead of a fixer-upper, Dr. Melissa Dowling, 38, and her husband, Kevin McHugh, 37, were looking to stake their claim on a newly constructed home, which up until recently was rare to find in San Pedro. The port town is known more for its century-old craftsman and Victorian houses than anything modern looking, which is why those pockets of townhomes that have recently been built on 8th and 19th streets below Pacific Avenue look oddly out of place among the town's vintage architecture.
But for Dowling and McHugh (along with their two dogs, Wish and Woosh), who were moving from Marina Del Rey and looking to buy their first home, investing in a newly constructed house in an area amid a redevelopment boom was a big selling point. The couple, who are originally from Pennsylvania, purchased one of the new homes on 8th and Centre in August 2020.
"Looking at houses [in Marina Del Rey], compared to a brand-new construction home in an up-and-coming area, we could just get a lot more for our money down here, and there was a lot more potential for growth as opposed to buying in a place that was already developed and established and wasn't really going to change that much," explains Dowling, an anesthesiologist who works in Downtown L.A.
She adds, "The whole waterfront was really appealing to us, and the fact that they're proposing an amphitheater. Music is our life. We love living in L.A. because we're constantly going to concerts and music festivals, so we're really excited about the amphitheater. Plus, we ride our bikes. There are so many beaches that we can ride our bicycles to. White Point is super dog friendly, and [the dogs] love the tide pools. There's so much hiking to do. It just kind of jived with our lifestyle."
For McHugh, who works in the pharmaceutical industry, he's still getting used to San Pedro's small-town charm within a sprawling metropolis like Los Angeles.
"It's funny because I work with people all over the globe, so when I try to say that I live in L.A. and it's a small town where I live, it doesn't make any sense to anyone."
To love San Pedro is to accept San Pedro, and accepting San Pedro takes effort. We're a community known as much for our quirks as we are our problems. A town chockfull of multigenerational families and a sense of civic pride unmatched by most cities in the country. We proudly wear the town's name on our caps, shirts, and skin. Being "born and raised" in San Pedro means something here.
"I actually appreciate it," says 38-year-old restaurateur Phuong Hoang.
Hoang and her husband, Bernard, 41, co-own Pho Saigon Pearl, a popular Vietnamese restaurant located near The Grove in Los Angeles. They moved to San Pedro from Venice in October 2019, two weeks before their son, Bradley, was born.
"It's one of the things that makes San Pedro San Pedro, because the people who are die-hard, born and raised, their grandparents are longshoremen, etc., they were here early on," says Phuong, who's originally from Torrance. "They're the ones who made San Pedro what it is today. They're so proud of it. The roots are still there."
She adds, "And it's good [that still exists] because I meet so many new families at the parks, and I ask them the same questions, like, 'Oh, are you guys from San Pedro?' and 90 percent of them will say, 'No, I'm not.' These are new families who have young toddler kids around my son's age. And I'm like, 'Oh, I'm new here, too.' And I would ask them, 'How do you like it?' And they're like, 'Oh, we like it. It's charming.'… I really like how the locals make sure we know that they're there, otherwise things would change so much. And we don't want to change too much, if that makes sense? I feel that it's important that we keep our roots. I come from a traditional Vietnamese family, and I was born here, but half my family were from Vietnam, and we try to keep a tradition. I feel like that's important."
Wanting to plant roots of their own in town, Phuong says they're thinking about opening another pho restaurant, this time in San Pedro. It's not on the immediate horizon, but it's something Phuong feels the community would appreciate.
"We're always looking at new places to expand our business and open a restaurant, and I feel like San Pedro is definitely a potential place to open a small business," she says.
Silvano Barba and Melissa Clarke Barba had been coming to San Pedro for nearly a decade to visit friends, so they were slightly familiar with the town before moving from Culver City in November 2020. The couple, who co-own Clarke and Barba, a leather goods and accessories company, found a two-bedroom house off 25th Street where they're able to work from home, manufacturing products out of their garage.
"We just fell in love with the place," says Silvano, 45. "Every time we came to San Pedro, we found new, little things that we discovered or that [our friends] showed us."
Unable to find anything within their budget in Culver City, Melissa, 47, who also works for Lionsgate Entertainment, suggested they give San Pedro a try.
"Because of COVID, I was able to work from home," explains Melissa, "Being able to work from home, it let us branch out, and I was like, 'Oh, let's go explore San Pedro.' And then when we were driving around here one day, we got to check out the different areas, and we saw the houses, and we were like, 'Oh wow, they have really cute houses here!' So, it opened the door for us to move somewhere else where I didn't have to go into the office every day and didn't have to worry about traffic."
According to Hazdovac, being at the end of the 110 freeway is no longer an inconvenience for most. "For years, San Pedro was simply 'too far' from Downtown L.A., the Westside, Orange County, etc., for commuters to consider," he explains. "With so many industries transferring to working remotely, living in San Pedro and near the ocean has become a big driving force for buyers. [Also], affordability compared to neighboring beach cities in the South Bay has been a big reason why we have seen many buyers consider our town when compared to neighboring cities."
Michelle Debbaudt admits, she's nervous about the gentrification in downtown and along the waterfront. The 68-year-old retiree, who spent most of her career as an executive assistant in the entertainment industry, moved to San Pedro in October 2019 from Newport Beach, renting an apartment near Alma Park.
Unlike the others interviewed for this story, Michelle's relationship with San Pedro has spanned decades. A musician at heart, she's played with her good friend, local legend Chuck Alvarez, and has worked with his wife, Stacy, at their children's gym, Flipside Gymnastics. Like many in town, she's worried that all this new investment from outside interests will compromise San Pedro's small-town charm, turning it into "another Santa Monica."
"I love San Pedro. I always thought it was one of those undiscovered gems, up until a couple of years ago," she says, laughing. "And now it's going crazy. I'm thrilled that I got here when I did, because rents are unaffordable now, for the most part."
According to real estate agent Mike Harper, the other half of Harper Hazdovac Real Estate Team and a San Pedro Today columnist, while home prices and rents continue to rise, he does not believe San Pedro will see price escalation reach the levels of some of the more high-profile beach cities anytime soon.
"It has been common to hear out-of-area buyers mention that they felt San Pedro was one of the last affordable coastal cities in the Greater South Bay," he explains. "There is no question we are witnessing gentrification in our town, but San Pedro may still not be considered as desirable a location due to proximity to the Port and easier access to other Los Angeles area attractions that some of the other beach cities may offer. We expect San Pedro to remain under the radar to some extent and should experience appreciation at a more reasonable pace."
For folks like Michelle and many others in town, they're hoping San Pedro continues to fly under the radar for as long as possible.
"We're so lucky [to live here]," she says. "[San Pedro is] a beautiful, sleepy, little town. I keep saying, 'Don't tell anyone. Don't tell anybody we're here.' It's still precious and still has that charm. I hope it doesn't lose it." spt
