Today in history… climax of 'Spaghetti House siege'
One of the most bizarre armed sieges in criminal history came to a largely peaceful end on October 3rd, 1975, after a tense five-day standoff.
The setting was the Spaghetti House Italian restaurant in London's exclusive Knightsbridge district and the siege dominated daily news reports.
The restaurant was part of a small chain and each week the managers would meet up at the Knightsbridge branch to tally up the week's takings before depositing it in the night safe at a nearby bank. This happened after the restaurant closed for the night, but several staff were there cleaning up when, around 1-30am, three armed men burst in.
Their leader was Franklin Davies, a 28-year-old Nigerian student who had previously served time for armed robbery. With him were 24-year-old West Indian Wesley Dick and 22-year-old Guyanan Anthony Munroe. All three had previously been involved in black liberation organisations.
Brandishing a sawn-off shotgun and two handguns, the men demanded the week's takings of around £13,000, which staff had managed to hide under tables in the dimly-lit closed restaurant. The robbers forced the staff down to the basement to contain them in a single, secure place, but one – the managing director – managed to get away through a rear fire escape and immediately alerted police, who were on the scene within minutes.
Outside, the gang's getaway driver realised the robbery had gone badly wrong and drove off in his stolen car. When police entered the ground floor of the restaurant, the three robbers barricaded themselves and eight restaurant staff into a rear storeroom, measuring just 14ft by 10ft, and threatened to shoot if police tried to force their way in. The Spaghetti House siege had begun.
Police cordoned off the area, with 400 officers involved, including specialist firearms teams. Negotiations began with the robbers, whose identity was soon established and who claimed to be members of the 'Black Liberation Army' engaged in a political act, rather than a criminal one. Davies demanded that two named black men be released from prison, but investigations established they already had been.
He also wanted Home Secretary Roy Jenkins to visit the siege and an aircraft put on standby to fly the hostage takers to Jamaica. His only successful demand was for a radio to listen to, but that would backfire on him. Fifteen hours into the siege one of the hostages, a 59-year-old man, was released "as a sign of good faith" and the following day another was let out after he became ill in the hot and cramped storeroom.
Unknown to the robbers, the police fed two small fibre-optic cameras into the storeroom through small holes from a neighbouring building, so they could both see and hear what was going on inside and tailor their negotiations accordingly. A forensic psychologist advised them on the state of the robbers' minds as the siege progressed.
The police also worked with the media to drive a wedge between Davies and his two accomplices and demoralise the robbers. Radio broadcasts focussed on the criminal nature of the siege, made no mention of any political element and stressed there was no chance of the robbers' demands being met. A front page report in the Daily Mail (pushed under the storeroom door) pictured Davies and described him as the gang leader. It included background information on the two other men, implying Davies had 'sold' it to police as part of the negotiations. In fact, they got it by tracing and arresting other associates of Davies.
It was clear from the surveillance that the robbers' spirits were low and at 3-40am on October 3rd they communicated to police that they were giving up. After all the hostages were released unharmed, police told the three men to throw their guns out and come out one at a time. Dick and Munroe complied, but Davies remained behind and shot himself in the stomach with one of the revolvers. Rushed by ambulance to a nearby hospital, he was operated on and survived the wound.
There was more drama when the trial began the following June. When asked how they pleaded to the charges they faced, Davies shouted: "We've stopped pleading – we've been pleading for 500 years. This isn't a trial – it's a lynching party!" The three men then turned their backs on the court, refusing to accept its legitimacy, and talked among themselves.
The judge had them returned to their cells and a 'not guilty' plea entered on their behalf, but at the end of the three-week trial Davies, Dick and Munroe were convicted and sentenced to 22, 18 and 17 years in prison respectively. The judge refuted claims of any political motive and a co-conspirator (who pleaded guilty) said he planned the robbery to pay off gambling debts.
One of the Italian hostages was excused from giving evidence at the trial because he had developed a bond of friendship with Davies during the siege, even visiting him in hospital afterwards. The restaurant re-opened four days after the siege ended and was booked solid. It remained in business until 2015, when the block housing it was redeveloped.
The Spaghetti House siege was thought to be the inspiration for the first ever episode of popular TV series "Minder", screened in October 1979. Titled "Gunfight at the OK Launderette", it saw minder Terry McCann and others taken hostage in a sweltering back room after a bungled robbery at a launderette results in a police siege.

The US Institute of Languages produces and distributes the Visual Link™ Spanish Course and exists to help people become successful in learning and speaking Spanish.
The U.S. Institute of Languages was formed in 1995 and developed The Visual Link™ Spanish Course, an unparalleled method for learning Spanish. The Course has been sold and used by individuals in over 130 different countries around the world. The course has also been, or is currently being taught, at major U.S. corporations, government agencies, and universities. The success of the course has come because of one basic reason - it really works! It helps individuals learn to speak and communicate in Spanish in an easy to use, fun and effective format.
The Visual Link™ Spanish Teaching Method was developed by David S. Clark, director of U.S. Institute of Languages, in 1996. It was then perfected by a team of linguists/instructors from the Institute.
The language is learned by themes like "Basic Needs", "Locations", "Survival Expressions", and "Communication". Within each theme, the language is broken down into groups of words. Words are chosen from each group to form sentences.
"The Spanish course I ordered arrived on Monday. It is all I expected it would be and I am well on my way to becoming a proficient Spanish speaking person. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn Spanish."
Instead of just learning isolated vocabulary words, Visual Link™ Spanish teaches individuals how to form complete sentences. This teaching method enables students to quickly start speaking in Spanish. In fact, by the end of the very first interactive Spanish lesson students can already form multiple complete sentences in Spanish.
If you would like to talk about the course or if you have questions about it, you can contact our team with any of the methods below.


How did I start? Like the lyrics of a famous Frank Sinatra song, "I did it my way". I started my solo private practice, Maternal Counseling Services, with the notion that I was going to craft my practice. Furthermore, I knew that I wanted flexibility and to be able to provide impeccable care, while allowing myself the opportunity to make mistakes. I forged this journey with M&M's in mind. Not the candy… but rather, Motherhood and Money.
When starting a private practice, it's important to prioritize. You are the business owner and the one in charge. So, at first, everything falls upon your shoulders. That can make you feel like every bit of time that you have should be used for your private practice. When crafting Maternal Counseling Services, I knew that writing out my priorities was crucial to staying true to my 'why' of private practice – my son.
I am the mother of a 2 year old boy, who is such a joy, and he is very much a priority. Prior to my son, I was a full time Assistant Director and career counselor at a private college, while also seeing clients as an independent contractor in a group practice. After having my little one, my priorities shifted. I wanted to have the flexibility to spend more time caring for my son.
So, what did I do? Go into private practice. That may seem counterintuitive and like it created more time away. But, rather, it gave me the opportunity to craft what I wanted my work life to look like. I transitioned to a part-time counseling position at a community college, which allowed me to take the time to develop my private practice. Making this shift, and knowing my priorities, meant I needed to be efficient, as well as create healthy working boundaries. We teach our client's boundaries. Starting a private practice is the perfect time to model the same principles we share.
Tip: List out your priorities, set your boundaries, and learn to be efficient with the time you have.
As shared, I started my private practice very part-time. While I do want a group practice in the future, starting part-time allowed me the opportunity to "try things on" without having to support other clinicians. This allowed me to test electronic health systems, create an intake process, as well as start marketing and networking. However, with having limited client hours, I knew that I would have to be mindful of expenses and look for passive income opportunities.
My practice is located in southwest Michigan and I was able to find an extremely reasonable office space. I have a small waiting area and two provider offices. I use my office about nine hours a week, which leaves it open over 30 hours a week. And this does not include the second office. That is 70+ office hours that could be used. To help out other clinicians who are starting off, or who are interested in working part-time, I created a space where providers can use the office hourly. I did so in a manner that would require minimal effort on my part.
After meeting the providers, making sure it's a good fit, and signing a contract, they are provided with a key, access to reserve online, and directions on how to pay. Really, no other effort my way. While the office is nowhere near capacity, the additional income towards expenses has allowed me to have a comfortable, steady pace, that honors my boundaries created.
Tip: Think outside of the box about income vs. expenses and give yourself time to "try on" things.

Voices Project
Informing course and career choices at GCSE, A Level, Apprentice and Degree level.
The Voices Project has been funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering since 2013, and sets out to capture stories from women engineering students to support teenage girls making choices about course options, university or work.
The project offers contemporary insights into the thoughts and aspirations of women engineering students and reflections on ethnicity and socio-economic background through a poster and supporting webspace.
Prior to this work WES was a sustainability partner in the UCL led 'Set to Lead' project, and the Voices project follows on from this work. Set to Lead produced ground-breaking outputs including leadership resources, videos and a survey of over 4,500 engineering and technology students, including 1,200 women.
The Voices project included:
Focus groups with girls in year 7, 9 and 10 in Dorset and London
Discussion groups with students from Aston, Birmingham, Cardiff, Sheffield Hallam, UCL and Cardiff Universities
Cupcake Poster. The poster was launched on 20 March 2012 at the Royal Acdemy of Engineering as part of National Science and Engineering Week.
Information poster of quotes and stories from students and early career women. This has since taken on the identity as the 'Cupcake' poster and 20,000 copies have now been produced and are being distributed by WES.
Engineer Girl Webspace to share the advice.Updated data report analysing the HESA and first destinations of students from engineering and technology degrees looking at gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status of students.

A water polo match in the Russian Super League was converted into something of a boxing bout after players of the two competing teams were into a huge mass brawl involving captains and even reserve swimmers.
Tensions between Sintez from Kazan and Spartak Volgograd boiled over in the fourth quarter of their match on Sunday after the captain of the visiting side, Sergey Odintsov, hit Spartak player Vitaly Yurchik in the face with four minutes remaining in regular time.
The foul sparked a splash-and-grab fight involving players of both squads exchanging punches. Spartak substitute players also dived into the pool from the sides to join the action, which lasted for more than a minute, prompting the referee to halt the match.
When the water had settled, match referee Sergey Naumov decided not to resume the game, handing a 9-6 victory to Spartak, the score at the time of the brawl.
No penalties have been announced so far by the Russian Water Polo Federation which could award the game to Sintez by default to punish the hosts for their players' becoming involved, with Sintez confirming on their official Instagram page the result will be subject to an official review.
Sintez and Spartak share the second place spot in the national championship standings and have high chance of meeting again in the Russian Super League playoffs.

Measuring the Impact of Cash Crops on Household Expenditure and Poverty in Rural Viet Nam
Nguyen Viet, Cuong (2008): Measuring the Impact of Cash Crops on Household Expenditure and Poverty in Rural Viet Nam. Published in: Asia-Pacific Development Journal , Vol. 16, No. 2 (1. September 2009): pp. 87-112.
This paper measures the impacts of cash crops on household consumption expenditure and poverty in rural Viet Nam using data from the Viet Nam household living standards surveys (VHLSSs) of 2002 and 2004. It has been found that revenues from cash crops have positive and statistically significant impacts on per capita expenditure. More specifically, an increase of 1 Viet Nam dong (VND) in rice revenues leads to an increase of 0.019 VND in per capita expenditure, and the corresponding figures for revenues from annual crops, perennial crops and fruits are 0.038, 0.040 and 0.036, respectively. As a result, crop sales have positive and statistically significant impacts on poverty reduction for crop-growing households and the rural population. The poverty-reducing impacts are found to be positive for all three Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures.

Sometimes unplanned adoptions are the most fun. Amy, Jason and Kaitlyn of Englewood came to our fall family picnic at Keehner Park, met Shady Shaelee, and decided they weren't going home without her. Now called Shayla, this beautiful black female joins white female Sasha and red male Topper (whose image was nicely recreated in the tattoo on Jason's arm). The two girls are already good buddies, and we're hoping a mature female greyhound in the family will tone down Topper's enthusiasm a bit. Congratulations!

Buffalo Party founding convention to take place in Swift Current
Posted on 30 June 2021 by Matthew Liebenberg
Wade Sira is the interim leader of the Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan.
Saskatchewan's newest political party has picked Swift Current as the location of its founding convention this fall.
The Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan made the announcement during an outdoor meet and greet event at Kinetic Exhibition Park in Swift Current, June 19.
The party's inaugural convention will take place at the Palliser Pavilion from Nov. 5-7. Buffalo Party leader Wade Sira made the announcement during a speech at the party's meet and greet.
He spoke a few days afterwards by telephone with the Prairie Post about the party's decision to select Swift Current as the location for the convention.
"We're very excited to have not just our first convention, but for it to be in Swift Current," he said.
The party wanted to have its convention outside the province's two largest cities, Regina and Saskatoon, which is where political parties will usually have their conventions.
"They may be more centralized for the province, but there's more than just those two cities in this great province, and we feel that we're a grassroots party," he explained. "We're here to represent the people. We're here to be servants of the people, and we do not need to centralize everything anymore. The same as how we would run a province. Decentralize all the governing bodies down in Regina and spread them across the province is our main goal."
He added that the party will continue to have future annual general meetings in different locations across the province.
"So we feel this year will be Swift Current, next year it's going to be another city in another location in the province," he said. "We wish to and we hope to spread this around the province to show people across Saskatchewan that we do represent all of Saskatchewan and not just the two major urban cities."
A key focus of the inaugural convention will be to formally ratify the party's constitution by party members.
"We have seen other political parties, not just in Saskatchewan but across Canada, say one thing in their constitution, but also represent it in a different way," he said. "The Buffalo Party has built in the constitution that it needs to be ratified by our membership. It's accountability by our governing board and also by the caucus members who will represent us in Regina in 2024."
Sira is the interim leader of the Buffalo Party. His intention is to stand as a candidate in a leadership contest, but he does not know if that will be discussed at the convention.
"I told them I do not want to be part of the conversation," he said. "I think they're going to ask a question if they want to have a leadership race or not. I don't know what kind of a question they're going to ask, because I don't want anybody to accuse me or the party of trying to rig an election. I don't want to be a part of that conversation. So I'm staying on the back side of that conversation. I'll wait and see what they do and then I will make my plans from there."
The party's meet and greet in Swift Current was part of the first weekend of a province-wide tour to different communities to raise awareness of this new party. The other weekend stops were in Rosetown and Kindersley.
"Our main goal for this tour is to get more word out to the people," he said. "There's still people in Saskatchewan that do not know of the Buffalo Party. We're not a big party. We're not one of the top tier parties. We don't have a lot of money like the other parties. We don't have millions in the bank account. So the best way we can get people to understand who we are and what we stand for, is to go out and talk to the people directly. We want to talk to the people to represent them, meet them face to face, and build that relationship with them rather than just elect somebody to sit back and hopefully they're going to be the person we want them to be."
The party's main message during this provincial tour will be that there needs to be a governing party in Saskatchewan that remembers to be civil servants to the electorate.
"We're to represent the people," he said. "We need to have a government that's accountable and a government that's going to uphold the freedoms and the rights of the people of Saskatchewan. … When people are free and the government is smaller, then we end up having a better society all around."
The Buffalo Party of Saskatchewan came into being last summer after party members approved the party's change of name. It was originally established as a political party in March 2020 under the name Wexit Saskatchewan, but a rebranding process took place shortly thereafter.
There was a membership vote on the party's name and the majority was in favour of calling it the Buffalo Party. It is a historic reference to an idea by Sir Frederick Haultain, the first premier of the Northwest Territories. He was in favour of a new province called Buffalo that would have consisted of the present-day Saskatchewan and Alberta.
According to Sira the Buffalo Party's roots in the Wexit movement does not necessarily mean it is in favour of separating from Canada.
"Our plans for the people of Saskatchewan are to be a sovereignist party" he said. "We can be sovereignists within Canada, just like Quebec, or we can be sovereignists outside of Canada. That is up to the people of Saskatchewan. They have the right to referendum. Premier Scott Moe already stated that he will not ever allow a referendum in Saskatchewan. That's not his right to say that. That's the right of the people to decide whether they want it or not. We will give the people that right, because that's their inherent right in the first place."
He added the main goal of the Buffalo Party is to make sure the people of Saskatchewan have a fair deal.
"If people want to stay in Canada, then that's their right to stay in Canada," he said. "Our job as a party is to represent the people of Saskatchewan in the best way possible in confederation then. We need to have an autonomous and sovereignist deal like Quebec. They have full control of everything within their province. That means taxation and there's police force and full immigration. They have control of every entity in their province. We need at least that same deal, and we need to be able to elect our senators within Canada."
The Buffalo Party fielded 17 candidates in the 2020 provincial election and received 2.56 per cent of the overall vote, which placed it third behind the Saskatchewan Party and the Saskatchewan NDP.
"The election was a huge success for us," he said. "We were only three months old as Buffalo Party when we came into the election in 2020. For us to be able to take second in multiple constituencies, I think four constituencies we took second in, and the rest we ended up in third, except I think one or two we ended up in fourth. That is a huge success for our party. … So for a start party to be able to get that kind of vote gave us even more drive that the people of Saskatchewan want change and we are that change."
The Buffalo Party's intention is to have a full field of 61 candidates in the next provincial election in 2024. He believes the party will be successful across the province and not only in rural ridings.
"The silent majority don't want to be silent no more," he said. "The majority of people in Saskatchewan don't want the status quo anymore. They want change and it will change and we will be the change, and we're looking forward to 2024, when we'll win."


For this week's Medieval Romance Monday we are featuring At His Command, the new medieval romance novel by Ruth Kaufman.
Ruth Kaufman may be the first author to release two versions of her medieval AT HIS COMMAND to meet readers' differing needs. One version is mild/sweet and inspirational, with a faith element, features the heroine on the cover. The other features the hero on the cover and has some love scenes but no faith element. Which will you choose?
In AT HIS COMMAND, King Henry VI sends Sir Nicholas Gray to protect recent widow Lady Amice Winfield from undesirable suitors. At court, the king orders her remarry the lord he and the queen choose. Can she find a way to defy the king's command because she's falling in love with Sir Nicholas even though they serve opposing factions?
Click on either cover to read more about each version.

(2005) Luis Rico Guiterrez, et al.
The Centre Avenue Food project addresses the critical need for fresh food in Pittsburgh's Hill District, an inner city African American neighborhood that has lacked a local grocery store since 1987. As a result, residents are forced to spend extra time and money to commute to grocery stores outside the neighborhood or choose from the limited selection of foods at local convenience stores. Centre Food offers a new approach to this long-standing problem through a full-service grocery store model distinguished by a LEED-certified environmental design, a strong network of community partnerships and outreach, and a business model that allows for the reinvestment of profits in the community. The long-term of goal of the project is to establish a sustainable community food source that will act as a catalyst for the commercial revitalization of Centre Avenue, the Hill District's main commercial corridor.
This project is a result of collaboration between the Hill District's premier social service agency, Hill House Association, the Urban Laboratory in the School of Architecture, the Heinz School of Public Policy and the Tepper School of Business. With advisement from Luis Rico Guiterrez and other faculty, Renee Roy and an interdisciplinary team of CMU students completed a market need study, schematic building design and financial plan for Centre Food as part of Carnegie Mellon's top-winning submission to the 2005 JP Morgan Chase Community Development competition. As Project Director and Associate Fellow at the STUDIO, Luis Rico-Gutierrez and Renee Roy are working with Hill House Association to carry out further research, design studies and project development.


Lean ground beef (amount depends on size of casserole dish), layer of cooked ground beef in a glass baking dish (metal can be substituted if need be.
1 layer of FROZEN corn (yellow or white, but sweet corn works best).
Layer of tater-tots neatly arranged usually to help hold in flavor.
1 can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup (I'm allergic to mushrooms so I use the cream of chicken), mixed with a soup-can full of 2% milk (1% is ok, do not use skim milk, it doesn't cook right).
Pour the soup/milk mix over entire casserole, filling all nooks and crannies. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour, or until tots are golden brown.
Never had a single person who didn't like this. The only downside is even when you are stuffed you find yourself going back for more anyway. Dissappears FAST! Added bonus, the generic tots actually work better then the national brands, which tend to make the casserole and tots very dry, and flavorless. Vita Bit is good and cheap if you can find it.

Lean Simulations: What is a Value Stream?
In my last post, How to Read a Value Stream Map, I didn't elaborate too much on what a Value Stream actually was. Your manufacturing or business process is a value stream. Your mailman delivering mail is a part a value stream. Any process that delivers value to the customer is a value stream.
Before looking at a value stream map, everyone needs to be clear about what a value stream is. This short and simple video does the job. It clearly describes the value stream as all the activities involved in bringing product to your customer, and then focuses on the next step: Identifying what adds value and what's waste.
The best part about this video is the animated bar showing the value stream. Some portions are green (they add value) and some are red (waste). As the narrator describes waste, the red bars are removed and the bar shrinks down, reducing lead time and cost.
Very smooth and clever animation. I feel like I'm watching my hard drive being defragged (does anyone still do that and who else besides me would get exited about that..).
At less than a minute, this video is a perfect intro to your value stream mapping session. Take a quick look and tell me what you think!
I've added this video to my free list of lean training videos.
Excellent video! Short, visual, and gives a very clear message of what a value stream is. This is lean at it´s best.
Thanks. I love the short videos too. Making your audience sit through a 1 hour video explanation of lean is just plain lazy. And you'll lose them. A short video is perfect for introducing or emphasizing a point.


Returning to her alma mater, former democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton gave a timely, personal, and political commencement address. Quotes from Hillary Clinton's speech at Wellesley College gave, perhaps predictably, a stream of constant, not-so-subtle digs at President Donald Trump and his administration. Less predictably, she managed to align 1969's political context with that of Wellesley's class of 2017, conflating her graduation year to the present day. As this was Clinton's third commencement address at Wellesley — she spoke at her own graduation and then again during her time as first lady — she had plenty of practice. Still, it seemed as if Clinton's takeaways were pointed at the president, and less so the graduates at hand.
You may have heard that things didn't exactly go the way I planned. But you know what? I'm doing OK.
Addressing the elephant in the room, Clinton let the audience in on what she's been doing post-election. "I've gotten to spend time with my family, especially my amazing grandchildren," she noted, along with "long walks in the woods, organizing my closets. I won't lie," she mused, "chardonnay helped a little too."
We didn't trust government, authority figures — or really anyone over 30.
Citing the Vietnam War and civil rights clashes of the era, Clinton compares her college years to those of the current graduates. Though she never said his name throughout the entire speech, Clinton compares Trump with Nixon, not failing to mention Nixon's eventual impeachment proceedings.
We got through that tumultuous time, and once again began to thrive as our society changed laws and opened the circle of opportunity and rights wider and wider for more Americans.
Here, Clinton appears to move beyond Trump to a more hopeful and universal message, noting that all the political and social strife and struggle led to a better society all around.
Another allusion to Trump's behavior, Clinton warned the audience of science deniers, conspiracy theorists, and perpetuators of alternative facts. She reminded: "When people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society."
Don't let anyone tell you your voice doesn't matter. In the years to come, there will be trolls galore online and in person.
"They may even call you a 'nasty woman,'" she suggests, ultimately insisting upon a push past the naysayers and any feelings of powerlessness. Of course, it goes without saying that it was Trump who called Clinton "nasty" in the first place.
If your outreach is rebuffed, keep trying. Do the right thing anyway. We're going to share this future. Better to do so with open hearts and outstretched hands than closed minds and clenched fists.
After the Trump comments subsided again, Clinton offered more inspiration framed in her belief in working through difficult things, fighting for what is right.
I'm very optimistic about the future, because I think, after we've tried a lot of other things, we get back to the business of America.
Concluding a speech that critiqued the current president with a note about business feels, given Trump's business background, like a counter-intuitive message. President Calvin Cooledge's famous "business of America is business" quote rings out here but the phrase doesn't really bolster Clinton's message of progress, civil rights, and fighting through adversity.
Regardless of the dissected message, the Wellesley graduates appeared to love Clinton, cheering and laughing throughout the 30-minute presentation. They didn't seem to mind that the speech was meant for a bigger audience; The Trump call-outs were even welcomed as humorous asides. Clinton certainly gave an engaging keynote that the class of 2017 won't soon forget.


Long before it became fashionable to talk about wine growing, about winemakers crafting wines from the vineyards rather than from the cellar, Anthony Bell was pursuing a philosophy of terroir. The French term encapsulates the factors which play a role in differentiating one vineyard site from another, including climate, soil, clonal selection, etc. "Wine is grown in the vineyard.", explains Bell. "We are merely stewards of nature while the wine is in our cellar."
In California we are blessed with a great variety of microclimates, each capable of producing grapes of extraordinary quality and style. I seek out these extraordinary vineyards with their unique microclimates, and working closely with the winegrower, strive to optimize the fullest potential of each property. From Rutherford in the heart of the Napa Valley, to the Sierra Foothills, each vineyard I purchase grapes from is blessed with a unique terroir.
To compliment the efforts of the winegrower, we strive to produce wines that exhibit wonderful balance. Our wines are often referred to as having an Old World elegance and sophistication. My style of winemaking is to emphasize the fruit and employ vinification techniques that will capture and accentuate the fruit expression unique to each vineyard. Along with fruit, balance is vitally important, and at Bell Wine Cellars we strive to find the quintessential balance between fruit, acid, oak and tannins, in producing our wines. I hope you enjoy the "vineyard expression" in each of our wines.

【Graduation】Yang Xiaotong: Dream Big, Do Small, and Win Big
Yang Xiaotong, a senior student from Tianjin University's School of Civil Engineering is going to graduate this June.
He becomes a campus celebrity after his story was published on People's Daily, the most influential and authoritative newspaper in China as one of the 110 outstanding representative students selected out of 60,000 undergraduates who won the 2019 National Scholarship.
Actually, it was the third time he has won the National Scholarship due to his well-rounded development, not only in academic study, but also in social activities and volunteer work.
Coming from a small country in Shanxi Province in the north of China, Yang calls himself "a farm boy" who dares to have great expectations and by down to earth efforts achieve his goals step by step.
He is a top-A student in terms of academic study, ranking the first among 122 peer students. He is not content to be only an engineer and minors in Financial Management in Nankai University. He believes proper competition is constructive and has attended several competitions in physics, math and geotechnical engineering and achieved many high-level awards like the first prize in MCM (mathematical modeling contest) and the first prize of National Geotechnical Engineering Competition for College Students. He takes part in various social and campus activities and is quite active in voluntary work.
It's hard to imagine how one man can make so many achievements in so many fields roughly at the same time. When asked about his secret of success, Yang laughed and said that there was no such thing as secret recipe, but hard work and efficient time management did help. He usually works and studies for 18 hours a day with a clear to-do-list.
Yang has earned many honors and with his scholarships accumulated to 170,000 RMB, he is completely self-sufficient through his college years.
Asked about what legacy he obtains from Tianjin University, Yang put it as the craving for excellence and the courage to realize it. "Our university's motto 'to seek truth from facts' has a profound influence on all of us students. On the one hand, it stimulates us to innovate, to explore the infinite mystery of human, of nature, and of science; it tells us to dream big. On the other, it warns us to be practical and rigorous and keep our feet on the ground in life and work. Only in this way, can we turn our dream into reality," Yang said.
Yang Xiaotong will go to Tsinghua University for his doctoral study after graduation.

Steven Marshall's Mini Cooper Rally — what more could we possibly want?
Any new LEGO creation from Steven Marshall is a treat, and his lovely new rally Mini Cooper doesn't disappoint, from the custom stickers on the outside to the stripped-down interior (complete with webbing).
His cars are always pristine. He exceeds Arvo brothers here.
Gotta say though I would love to see it with a checkered roof!
"Steven Marshall's Mini Cooper Rally — what more could we possibly want?" – Nothing, except building instructions.
It`s brillllllliant. Absolutely fantastic piece of art.
I`m great fan of this man`s cars.
This thing is sweet! Go Mini!
What the hell, man? That guy's work is RIDICULOUS.
Ah, the two best things ever. Lego and Mini.
Steven's MOCs are as great as he is in person. He doesn't build often, but when he does…its jaw dropping.

This op-ed originally appeared in Axios, Feb. 25, 2019.
As the second summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un approaches, the U.S. continues to focus its attention on the dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear program.
Yes, but: If Trump is serious about denuclearizing North Korea, he should also use the summit with Kim Jong-un to take steps toward negotiating a peace agreement and formally ending the Korean War, noting the diplomatic engagements that have taken place between North and South Korea in 2017 that help to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Why it matters: North Korea has long tied its nuclear ambitions to the military threat posed by the U.S. In fact, decades of U.S. pressure and sanctions have only galvanized North Korea's nuclear program. Steps toward a peace agreement would provide a foundation for future successful negotiations between the two countries.
Where it stands: South Korean President Moon Jae-in has been making efforts to build a better relationship with Kim Jong-un and between their respective governments.
This diplomatic approach has borne fruit, including the removal of landmines and guard posts within the Demilitarized Zone and the discussion of opening a joint liaison office in the North Korean city of Kaesong.
North Korea has reciprocated with matching overtures of its own, leading to agreements that might precede more decisive actions.
The U.S., meanwhile, is considering an economic package that could encourage Kim Jong-un to agree to dismantling North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
This would mark a departure from Washington's past efforts of "maximum pressure" on North Korea and could, along with similar actions on the part of the U.S., make the prospects of denuclearization more realistic.
The bottom line: Inter-Korean diplomacy has offered a path toward normalizing relations and disarmament. If the U.S. wants North Korea to dismantle its nuclear weapons program, it must support South Korean overtures and take a more measured, holistic policy to reduce tensions and lay the foundation for trust. A peace treaty to formally end the Korean War would benefit U.S. efforts to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

If you know a Green Bay Packers fan then you know there are no more loyal (or passionate) football fans in world. Packers fans can be a bit over the top when it comes to football. First of all, Green Bay is a city of 250,000 people. Almost everyone in the city knows at least one person who is a season ticket holder (and by the way, there is a waiting list of over 100,000 fans wanting to be such ticket holders). Next, tailgating starts at 7 a.m. Yes, you read that right, 7 a.m. Packer fans don't just cook the traditional Wisconsin Bratwursts, they start with ham and eggs for breakfast and even use the grill. The early morning drink is the Bloody Mary, but only until 8 a.m. when the Miller Lite starts flowing. Then come the brats and just about anything else you can imagine.
Being at Lambeau Field to experience a Packers tailgate outing is something you will never forget. So what do Packers fans do when the weather turns brutally cold? The same things they do when the temperatures are in the 80's, of course: they tailgate, grill and drink even more beer to keep warm. You have to drink a beer quickly when the temperature is 10 below! You will also witness fans around the Green Bay area hosting outdoor Packers parties during the coldest of games. They set up a 42″ LCD TV in the garage and bundle up like Eskimos to watch the game outside. This stuff cannot be made up!Even though it's often cold and snowy in Green Bay on game days, the sun does shine, and what could be better than outfitting Dad or your favorite Packers fan with a pair of Green Bay Packers sunglasses that allow him to display his team spirit but do not obstruct his vision from the field. As the result of newly patented technology, you can now purchase such a pair of sunglasses that display the Packers team logo to everyone except him. The sunglasses are made of a lightweight acrylic material. As a result, they are very comfortable to wear and durable. You can find these sports-themed glasses for around $21.00 at most locations, which make the perfect affordable sports gifts for Dad or any other passionate Packers fan on your shopping list!

Late on a Thursday evening this month, shortly before midnight, Princeton's Regional Planning Board capitulated to pressure from the university and approved a resolution endorsing the university's program for an "arts" complex at the junction of Alexander Road and University Place. There were only two opposing votes: Yina Moore and Mildred Trotman.
No time was allotted for public comments. The chair announced towards the end of the session that the arguments are all well known. Her not so subtle implication was that those who made time to sit through the July and October hearings have nothing of value to offer.
The hearings have been marked by inconsistencies, inexplicable about-faces, posturing, and displays of simple ignorance.
For me, the highlight of the July session was Marvin Reed's insistence that the board define the distance from the proposed parking lot to the proposed rail station, followed by his remarkable assertion, delivered almost as an aside, that it makes no difference whether the distance is 100 feet or 1,000 feet. The board obligingly decided to set 1,000 feet as the standard — thereby ensuring that a large number of current and potential Dinky riders will find it easier simply to drive to the Junction — assuming, that is, that they can get out of Princeton when traffic flows have been choked off on Alexander. The charitable explanation for this piece of idiocy is that the board fails to understand that proximate parking is a condition precedent to a successful, self-sustaining rail link.
Marvin Reed also provided many of the highlights of planning board's recent session. Departing from his customary role as chief nit-picker, he delighted this observer by objecting, sharply, that the board's traffic consultant had not addressed the reduced traffic flows likely to result from the introduction of a "roundabout" and several new traffic lights on Alexander. Mr. Reed continued in a similar vein, arguing forcefully and persuasively that the board should not be asked to vote until the issue of increased congestion has been satisfactorily resolved. Shortly thereafter, in a stunning reversal, he cast one of the eight votes in favor of the zoning change sought by the University.
Mr. Reed also took time to remind his fellow board members that the university's president had delivered an empty ultimatum in January. He stated that he himself had taken seriously the threat to find another location if the town did not capitulate that very evening — and had gone to bed fully expecting that the university would change course the next day. This observer was starting to cheer. It seemed clear that the point of the story was that the university had been bluffing in January and that the town should not in the future be taken in by such cheap tactics. Mr. Reed concluded, however, with yet another non-sequitur, asserting that he favors the zoning change because the university has declared that it will move the station regardless.
Other stupifyingly incongruous or revealing highlights were: (i) Barbara Trelstad's unsuccessful push for a vote on the desirability and necessity of moving the Dinky station; (ii) the chair's objection that such a vote might highlight the disagreement between the Board's Borough and Princeton Township members, thereby undercutting the consolidation argument that we are all just one happy family; (iii) Ms. Trelstad's statement that a vote denying the desirability and necessity of moving the Dinky station need not be a disqualifier for the proposed zoning change; (iv) the board's utter disregard of the "circulation" clauses in the Master Plan; and (v) the summary statement's idiotic assertion that "congestion" is a necessary and sufficient reason for moving the Dinky Station.
The planning board's inept (servile?) handling of a proposal that will doom the Dinky and ultimately necessitate construction of a major highway to Route 1 suggests that we have no reliable defenses against the City of Princeton envisioned by some "decision makers". If residents continue to tolerate such blundering, there can be no hope for the green, leafy, predominately single family neighborhoods that have long defined the Borough of Princeton. Let's hope that outrage over the planning board's travesty will cause Princetonians to wake up and rally to the defense of their town.
For an even more apocalyptic view, including Princeton as a "city of bleak high rise buildings," laying off all Borough police officers, and demolishing Borough Hall "so that there can be no physical reversion to a pre-consolidation condition," see Ronald Nielsen's letter in Town Topics (http://www.towntopics.com/sep2811/mailbox.php).

New flights drive up passenger numbers at Stansted
London Stansted enjoyed its busiest July in seven years, as the launch of Thomas Cook's trio of new long-haul flights and the summer getaway helped contribute to over two million passengers passing through the airport.
In total, 2.19 million passengers travelled through in July 2015, up 12.5 per cent on the same month last year and an increase of more than 240,000 passengers.
It was the busiest July since 2008.
The total number of passengers flying in the year rose to 21.8 million, an increase of 16.5 per cent over the previous 12 months, the highest annual rate of growth of any major UK airport.
Cargo volumes continued to increase with 233,239 tonnes shipped through Stansted in the last year, up 9.4 per cent on the previous 12 months.
Some 20,732 tonnes of freight was transported through in July alone as some carriers added extra flights in order to ease the supply chain problems caused by the backlog at the Channel Tunnel.
"The beginning of the school holidays and our trio of exciting new long-haul flights have played their part in boosting passenger numbers in July – our busiest in seven years," said Stansted managing director, Andrew Harrison.
"It's great to see a growing airport and over the last few months we have been growing at double the rate of Heathrow and Gatwick.
"It's a real boost for the airport and it's a great reflection on the East of England region and its economic vibrancy.
"During the month we welcomed the return of long-haul services to Stansted as Thomas Cook launched flights to Orlando, Las Vegas and Mexico.
"It was fitting to see those new flights depart from our newly refurbished Satellite One departure area.
"This £8 million project forms part of our wider £260 million investment programme to improve airport facilities and services for passengers and airlines.
"Looking further ahead, we are delighted to announce more good news on the airline front.
"Lufthansa's new short and mid-haul subsidiary Eurowings will begin flights from Stansted to Vienna in November 2015."

A New Republic: The portrait work of artist Kehinde Wiley
artart historyartistbrooklynclothescultureglasshairhistoryhuman bodyinclusionlightmuseumpaintingpatternsplantsportrait
Blending and contrasting contemporary clothes and objects with ornate fabrics, lush plant life, detailed patterns, and bold colors that reference earlier eras of art history, Kehinde Wiley's heroic portraits are larger than life. On canvas, in sculptures, or depicted in stained glass, his subjects are framed with empathy and grandeur. From the Brooklyn Museum in 2015:
The works presented in Kehinde Wiley: A New Republic raise questions about race, gender, and the politics of representation by portraying contemporary African American men and women using the conventions of traditional European portraiture… Wiley's signature portraits of everyday men and women riff on specific paintings by Old Masters, replacing the European aristocrats depicted in those paintings with contemporary black subjects, drawing attention to the absence of African Americans from historical and cultural narratives.
As of February 12, 2018, Wiley is probably best-known for his painting of the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama. It was revealed at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery along with artist Amy Sherald's portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama. The two portraits will join the museum's complete collection of American presidential portraits.

Protest the Scheduled Execution of David Powell
Attend Monday's Austin Demonstration; Call DA Rosemary Lehmberg
texasmoratorium.org
Dear supporter of Texas Moratorium Network,
David Powell is scheduled for execution on Tuesday, June 15, in Texas. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has voted 7-0 against commuting David Powell's death sentence or granting him a stay. Powell, 59, was convicted and sentenced to death in the May 18, 1978 death of Police Officer Ralph Ablanedo during a traffic stop in Austin.
If you are in Austin, please attend the demonstration against the execution
of David Powell. The demonstration is Monday June 14, at 5:30 at the
Texas Capitol. Meet on the sidewalk at 11th and Congress.
Groups organizing the Monday demonstration include Let David Live, Campaign to End the Death Penalty – Austin, Texas Moratorium Network, Students Against the Death Penalty and others. Join the Facebook page for this event here.
Everyone please call the Travis County District Attorney, Rosemary Lehmberg, and leave a message that she should do whatever she can to stop this execution, for example she could ask Governor Perry to issue a 30 day stay of execution or she could ask the trial judge to withdraw the execution date. Call her even if you have signed the petition. We want her to be getting calls all day Monday and Tuesday.
You can call DA Rosemary Lehmberg's office starting at 8 am Texas time on Monday at:
512 854-9400.
We know several tv stations that will be covering the Monday demonstration, so please attend if you can or ask your friends in Austin to attend. Help us build the demonstration to show that Austinites do not support this execution!
David Powell has spent 32 years on death row, where he has become an example of how a person sentenced to death can transform his life and make a positive contribution to his community on death row as well as on the society outside prison.
There is less violence and better relationships between people on death row because of David being alive. You can read testimonials from people on death row about how David has affected them positively in his application for clemency.
David Powell was convicted in Austin, which many people believe is the most progressive city in Texas. We are asking the district attorney in Austin to reflect the values of the community and ask the convicting court to withdraw the execution date for David Powell.
Austin's newspaper, the Austin American-Statesman, has written an editorial saying a fairer sentence in Powell's case would be for him to spend the rest of his life in prison, instead of being executed. The Austin Chronicle has also said the execution should be stopped.
Sign the email petition to urge District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg to ask the convicting court to withdraw the execution date for David Powell.
You can also send an email to Governor Perry using his online email form, but the first action we are asking people to take is to contact Rosemary Lehmberg.
Watch a video on YouTube of the press conference we held last week with David's attorney, uncle and supporters
THE EXECUTION OF DAVID LEE POWELL – JUNE 15, 2010
David Lee Powell, convicted and sentenced to death in 1978 for the murder of Austin Police Officer Ralph Ablanedo, is scheduled to be executed in Huntsville on June 15, 2010.
There will be a large group of people attending outside the prison walls, including Austin Police Officers. In fact, the Austin Police Association has chartered a bus and booked a block of discounted hotel rooms to bring in as many uniforms as possible in a show of force, or as they call it, "support for the family".
In other words, they will be celebrating the death of David Lee Powell.
The Austin Police flooded the courtroom with up to 100 uniformed officers every time David Lee Powell was sentenced, showing the jury that they lived for his death. Now, 32 years after the first trial, even though many officers were not even born when this crime occurred, the torch has been passed.
The Police Association is out of step with the community that its members serve. As police officers, the members of the Association serve with dignity and honor and provide a critical and much appreciated service to the community. As people who celebrate the death of another person, out of some sense of getting even, they bring dishonor to themselves and Austin. Though they will not string David Powell up in a tree, the revelry they plan conjures up those haunting images.
There has been a spirited movement to try to halt David's execution, spearheaded by a group calling themselves Let David Live. The idea that, after 32 years of living in desperate conditions on Death Row, after his case has been reversed twice, the State of Texas still means to execute this man is intolerable to many people in Travis County. Those people have mobilized to flood the DA's office with letters and calls, asking her to withdraw the death warrant.
David is an extraordinary human being, as the video "Saving David Powell" and his website will attest. See David's story at
http://letdavidlive.org/.
David held all the promise and hope of the gifted college student that he was in the late 60s. He was an idealist who fell into using methamphetamines, became addicted, and lost his way. By 1978, he was struggling inside a deep speed psychosis, and in this state – frightened and paranoid — he killed Ralph Ablanedo after a traffic stop. David has expressed deep remorse, managed to find ways to invest his life with meaning, served innumerable needs of others on Death Row, teaching and mentoring scores of people, and apologized to Officer Ablanedo's family. Except for the terrible murder of Officer Ablanedo, David has no history of violence, before or after this incident – even during his 32 years on Death Row.
The public needs to know that the man they are killing has moved in the direction of redemption for three decades and is an immensely valuable and productive human being. They should know that, in the waning years of the death penalty in the history of our country, they are putting to death a man who is utterly unworthy of execution and indisputably worthy of life. They should know that putting David Powell to death is as much a testament to the non-viability of the death penalty as is the execution of people who have been wrongfully convicted.
And the people of Travis County, the most progressive county in Texas, need to know that they are supporting a policy of vengeance instead of true justice.
To learn more about the case of David Powell, visit letdavidlive.org or watch a 29 minute documentary, divided into four parts on YouTube: Part one, Part two, Part three, Part four.
David has expressed remorse for his actions in 1978. Because of the sincerity of his remorse and the compassionate life he has led while on death row, David deserves to have his sentence commuted from death.
Read an article in the Austin American-Statesman about the letter David Powell wrote on December 31, 2009 apologizing to the family of Ralph Ablanedo, the officer he killed in 1978.
If David Powell is executed, he will be the 460th person executed in Texas since 1982 and the 221st person executed since Rick Perry became governor. He will be the 13th person executed in Texas in 2010.
Donations are welcome to help us fight the death penalty in the number one execution state in the U.S. You can send a check made out to:
Texas Moratorium Network
3616 Far West Blvd, Suite 117, Box 251
Donations can also be made online using a credit card by clicking here.
Donations are not tax-deductible, because TMN's main purpose is to lobby the Texas Legislature to stop executions.
Thank you for helping us stop executions in Texas,
