EVE Online FPS Project Nova cancelled confirms CCP
1:40 pm February 19, 2020 By Julian Horsey
If you have been patiently waiting for developers CCP to release the Project Nova first person shooter. You will be disappointed to learn that CCP's head of PR George Kelion has taken to Reddit to announce the cancellation of Project Nova. Although not everything is lost and now a different EVE Online shooter is currently in its early stages of development.
"We're continuing to develop our sci-fi multiplayer shooter game concept, actively evolving it beyond the original scope for what was formerly codenamed Project Nova. Development efforts on this concept are now the full focus of CCP's London studio. Project Nova team members based in Iceland have been moved onto other projects at our Reykjavík studio.
This decision was taken because Project Nova's gameplay experience as presented at EVE Vegas '18 would not have achieved our ambitious goals for this concept. Moreover, it is very common for games in active development to evolve over time, often substantially. We remain committed to offering a rock-solid, action-oriented gameplay experience with stellar visuals, but due to significant changes in the scope and direction of our sci-fi multiplayer shooter game concept, it also made sense to update how we refer to this project internally. So, we are no longer using the codename Project Nova for this game concept.
Furthermore, we are moving away from publicly announcing our internal project codenames and will wait until we're ready for a full reveal. We want to show you rather than tell you how we have evolved this concept and we're looking forward to doing so when the time comes to present this concept as a fully-fledged game."

Open Source Observatory (OSOR)
Copenhagen shares code and da…
Copenhagen shares code and data bike navigation app
Gijs Hillenius
The Danish capital, Copenhagen, has been making available the open source code for its bicycle navigation app, I Bike CPH. The app will be demonstrated at Traffic Jam Session, a public transport innovation hackathon next week Tuesday to Thursday in the Swedish city of Malmö.
The Technical and Environmental Department of the City of Copenhagen has created a website and iPhone/Android app for navigating in the city, and the rest of Denmark. The service is based on data from OpenStreetMap data and is made available as open source. The app can easily be adapted to be used by other municipalities, including in other countries, says Emil Tin, an IT and Process Specialist for the city and project manager of I Bike CPH routeplanner project.
The IT specialist Tin will be demonstrating I Bike CPH all Tuesday in Malmö. "I will bring the I Bike CPH routeplanner, to demonstrate for example how to search for bicycle routes, the use of map tiles and how to calculate alternative routes using Openstreetmap data."
In Malmö, Tin will talk about upcoming features, such as the option to combine realtime traffic signals with GPS, showing the cyclist when he will get a green light at an intersection. "We're also planning to add tracking, allowing users to see how much they've cycled, average speed and health benefits. This information can be shared anonymously with us, so we can use it to coordinate traffic lights to create green waves.
Tin will also show how to use the city's application programming interface to compute routes for bikes, or tailor a route for cargo bikes. The application is able to plan routes avoiding cobblestone streets and show streets that are one way for bikes. It can be modified to show a route including parks and other green areas, and take into account pollution data.
Bike app with autocomplete
The department is making the code available to others using the Github code repository. The software is shared using the Mozilla Public License 2.0. The software uses Ruby on Rails, Backbone, OSRM, OpenStreetMap and CartoCSS. Apart from a web app, Copenhagen is making available the source code for apps for iOS and Android smartphones. "We chose the Mozilla licence because we hope companies will be interested to re-use the application."
The city council decided to develop the application in November 2011, Tin says. The code for the working application was uploaded to Github in early 2012. "We built it for Copenhagen and its immediate vicinity, but it could immediately be used for all of Denmark." As far as he knows, no other Danish town has yet re-used the software. "That is why we're going to hackathons such as the one in Malmö, to get the word out. The app is not immediately ready for use in say, Brussels, but it won't take too much tweaks to make it work. It would require switching to a different geolocation service, for we're now taking that from the Danish Geodata Agency, because it offers autocomplete functionality."

The National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) was founded in 1996. Our mission is to strengthen disaster response in America by rescuing and recruiting dogs and partnering them with firefighters and other first responders to find people buried alive in the wreckage of disasters. We offer the professionally trained canines and an ongoing training program at no cost to fire departments. And we ensure lifetime care for every dog in our program: once rescued, these dogs never need to be rescued again. There are currently 71 SDF-trained Search Teams across the country, located in California, Florida, New York, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Utah, Virginia and Baja California. Thanks to Mutual Aid Agreements between counties, cities and states, these precious, life-saving resources can be shared regionally, nationally, and internationally.
All data for Financial Performance Metrics calculations was provided by National Disaster Search Dog Foundation on recent 990s filed with the IRS.
National Disaster Search Dog Foundation has received 3 consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator.

Join us at Parliament House for the screening of Lock The Gate's groundbreaking documentary 'Undermining Australia:Coal v's Communities'.
Alex Greenwich, MP for Sydney and Wendy Bowman OAM from the coal ravaged town of Camberwell will introduce the 30 minute film, which lays bare the heart-wrenching impacts that coal mining is having on Australian communities.
Whole villages are being wiped off the map by open-cut coal mines, families are suffering horrendous health issues, and local farming industries are being annihilated. The ICAC has revealed that coal corruption is rife and the system is broken.
But in the face of this, we are witnessing one of the biggest social movements in our country's history – a time when ordinary people become heroes.
Wendy Bowman received an Order of Australia Medal for her service to the community of the Upper Hunter, specifically in her 18 year crusade to protect farming land from mining. Wendy has witnessed first hand the damage done to water resources by open cut coal mining. She refuses to abandon the farm she and her family have worked for generations despite ongoing pressure from mining company Yancoal.
All MPs have been invited their attendance or otherwise will be communicated to our supporters in their respective constituencies. There will also be a post screening panel discussion with Mark Ogge, Researcher and Public Engagement Officer with the The Australia Institute.

Doença de Kawasaki é uma doença de causa desconhecida que resulta em febre e afeta sobretudo crianças com idade inferior a cinco anos. É um tipo de vasculite, com inflamação dos vasos sanguíneos por todo o corpo. A febre tem geralmente duração superior a cinco dias e não diminui com a administração de antipiréticos. Entre outros sintomas comuns estão o aumento de volume dos gânglios linfáticos do pescoço, erupções cutâneas na região genital e vermelhidão nos olhos, lábios, palmas das mãos ou dos pés. Três semanas após o início dos sintomas, a pele das mãos e dos pés pode esfolar, sendo geralmente seguida por recuperação. Entre as possíveis complicações estão a formação de aneurismas da artéria coronária no coração.

Embora as causas sejam desconhecidas, é possível que a doença seja o resultado de uma infeção que desencadeie uma resposta autoimune em pessoas geneticamente predispostas. A doença não é contagiosa. O diagnóstico geralmente baseia-se nos sinais e sintomas e pode ser complementado com ecocardiografia e análises ao sangue. Entre outras doenças com sintomas semelhantes estão a escarlatina, artrite idiopática juvenil, síndrome inflamatório multissistémico pediátrico.

O tratamento inicial consiste geralmente na administração de doses elevadas de aspirina e imunoglobulina. Com tratamento, geralmente a febre desaparece em 24 horas e a recuperação é total. Nos casos com envolvimento das artérias coronárias pode ser necessário tratamento continuado ou cirurgia. Sem tratamento, podem ocorrer aneurismas da artéria coronária em até 25% dos casos e morte em 1% dos casos. Com tratamento, o risco de morte é de apenas 0,17%.

A doença de Kawasaki é rara. Afeta entre 8 e 67 em cada  crianças com menos de cinco anos, exceto no Japão, onde afeta 124 em cada . A doença é mais comum entre rapazes do que entre raparigas. A doença de Kawasaki foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1967 pelo pediatra japonês Tomisaku Kawasaki.

Sinais e sintomas
A doença começa com uma fase aguda que dura duas semanas:
Febre alta (acima de 39°C) intermitente resistente a medicamentos;
Boca e língua cor de morango;
Irritabilidade;
Conjuntivite;
Erupções cutâneas (rash), principalmente o tronco, virilhas e nádegas;
Inchaço de mãos e pés (edema periférico);
Inchaço dos gânglios do pescoço (adenopatia);
Diarreia;
Meningite asséptica;
Inflamação do coração (Miocardite e/ou pericardite);

Na terceira semana a febre, inchaço, gânglios e erupções cutâneas desaparecem, mas o resto pode continuar e outros aparecem:
Transtorno de coagulação (trombocitose);
Perda de apetite;
Descamação nas pontas dos dedos;

Nessa fase podem ocorrer diversas complicações a longo prazo, como arritmias, sopros cardíacos, pericardite, miocardite e problemas nas válvulas coronárias (valvulopatias) e aneurismas de artérias coronárias.

Outros sintomas inespecíficos relatados incluem tosse, catarro, vômitos, dor de cabeça, dificuldade para respirar e convulsão.

Causas

A causa é desconhecida, sendo a teoria mais aceita que envolve a interação de fatores genéticos, infecção transmitida pelo ar e uma reação cruzada autoimune.

Um estudo realizado pelos pesquisadores Jeffrey S. Kahn e colaboradores da Yale University, revelou que a doença de Kawasaki pode estar associada com infecção pelo coronavírus New Haven. Eles analisaram secreções respiratórias de 11 crianças diagnosticadas com a doença de Kawasaki. Oito (73%) dos pacientes de Kawasaki foram positivos para o novo coronavírus New Haven.

Diagnóstico
Além da clínica, diversos exames podem encontrar sinais que necessitam tratamento, dentre eles:
 Contagem de glóbulos completa pode revelar anemia normocítica e trombocitose
 Taxa de sedimentação, está elevada e pode revelar eritrocitose
 Proteína c-reativa (CRP) está elevada
 Testes de função hepática, podem mostrar evidência de hepatite e baixa albumina
 Eletrocardiograma pode mostrar evidência de deficiência orgânica ventricular ou, ocasionalmente, arritmia devido à miocardite
 Ecocardiograma pode mostrar artérias coronárias com aneurismas.
 Punção Lombar pode mostrar evidência de meningite asséptica
 Angiograma para revelar aneurisma de artérias coronárias

Tratamento
Durante quase 5 dias os médicos administram altas doses de imunoglobulina via endovenosa em altas doses e aspirina pela via oral. Cessando a febre, são prescritas doses baixas de aspirina, durante vários meses para evitar aparecimento de coágulos e proteger o coração contra risco de lesão coronariana.

Os aneurismas do coração são tratados com anticoagulantes e aspirina. Já aneurismas de menor monta, utiliza-se somente aspirina. Para evitar a síndrome de Reye, em casos de gripe e varicela, pode ser usado, no lugar da aspirina o dipiridamol.

História
Os registros históricos apontam a primeira descrição realizada pelo pediatra japonês Tomisaku Kawasaki, em 1967. Ele descreveu cinquenta  crianças com vermelhidão na boca e garganta, febre, manchas na pele, inchaço nos gânglios, mãos e pés, dando nome a este conjunto de síndrome muco-cutâneo-ganglionar. Depois, foram incluídos os problemas vasculares como os aneurismas de coronárias.

Linklaters partners with ISDA to unveil automation tool for financial institutions
Linklaters and The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) have launched the beta version of a new online tool that will allow financial firms to deal with new regulatory requirements – in the first major collaboration between a global law firm and a global trade association in the creation of a online negotiation platform.
The online tool, called ISDA Create-IM, will allow banks and financial institutions to electronically create, negotiate and execute initial margin (IM) documentation as the universe of market participants subject to such requirements grows exponentially over the next two years.
ISDA Create – IM users will have a tool that will enable them to produce, deliver, negotiate and execute IM documents with multiple counterparties simultaneously. It will also allow firms to digitally capture, process and store the resulting data, which can be used for commercial, risk management and resource management purposes. The online functionality will make the negotiation process more efficient and less time-consuming. ISDA Create – IM is expected to reduce the overall time and cost of these negotiations by 50% or more.
Doug Donahue, Derivatives partner at Linklaters, says:
"The development and launch of this tool is a critical step for our industry as we all look to leverage efficiencies enabled by technology. Bringing together an unprecedented amount of industry input from the most active sell-side and buy-side participants in the market, we have built something that really is driven by their needs. It's a great example of what can be achieved when you combine the innovative thinking of the market, lawyers and developers."
Katherine Tew Darras, ISDA's General Counsel, says:
"Negotiating IM documentation typically takes significant time and resource, and has to be repeated over and over again with each counterparty. ISDA Create – IM will drastically improve the efficiency of this process, enabling parties to deliver a document to multiple parties at the same time, and then to negotiate changes on a bilateral basis using the platform.
The beta version of ISDA Create – IM will be followed by the rollout of a live version early in 2019.
The technology that drives the tool is designed by Nakhoda, Linklaters' flagship technology and AI platform. Its intelligent design is based around converting linguistic legal data into an enabler for rapid and informed decision-making. It is guided by a sharp focus on fusing emerging technologies with deep legal expertise.
Partha Mudgil, COO of Nakhoda at Linklaters, says:
"This Initial Margin tool is an example of how we are using our legal knowledge to identify opportunities for automation and to design a bespoke and transformative product that helps drive efficiencies and enable data-based insights for our clients. But it also shows how the relationship between lawyers and clients is changing. We are no longer seen as 'black-ink' advisers, instead, working in partnership, we're able to pull together the brightest minds to create and deliver solutions that will have real and practical results for the market."

University System of Georgia agrees to health insurance demands of UGA graduate students
Danielle Osakwe | Contributor
On March 12, the University System of Georgia agreed to the healthcare demands of the United Campus Workers of Georgia Graduate Student Committee after their health insurance premiums rose 345 percent for their spouses and children in for the 2018-2019 school year.
The Graduate Student Committee sent a letter to the University System of Georgia on Dec. 10, 2018. This letter detailed a list of demands by the Committee, each with a prevalent theme of increased communication between graduate students and the university.
USG wrote a letter in response to UCWGA on March 6. Within this letter, USG agreed to improve communication regarding future plans about health insurance premiums. USG agreed to form an Advisory Committee made up of representatives for graduate students, faculty and staff. USG also agreed to provide a member of its staff as an intermediary for graduate students concerning their health insurance claims.
Annelie Klein, a member of UCWGA and the graduate coordinator assistant in the College of Pharmacy, explained that better communication between the university and its graduate students needs to come first.
"We're working for more communication where we actually have a chance to voice our opinions, participate in changes, have a chance to discuss when they're implementing new ideas and new changes," Klein said.
In the past, UGA made changes without much input from faculty and staff, Klein said. In 2016, more than 3,000 workers, largely low-wage workers, received reduced paychecks due to changes in the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The changes regarding the health insurance premiums spurred protests by UGA graduate students.
"As a graduate student … their lives are very, very busy, and I find it grotesque that they would even be subject to UGA not even explaining that change," Klein said.
Justin Simpson, a UGA graduate student and member of the UCWGA Graduate Committee, had heard about the premium change last year in passing. He only really became aware when his fellow graduate students explained their grievances about the situation, specifically those who were married. The increasing number of spouses signing up for the university's health insurance caused the jump in price.
Simpson was thrilled by the news and said this response was a big first step for the university.
"I was in class at the time and had received a call saying 'Check your mail! Check your mail!'" Simpson said. "I thought it was so important for one, the fact that the university is like reaching out and taking seriously the concerns of graduate students."
In addition to USG agreeing to improve communication, they have also agreed to address mental health coverage for students and dental insurance, Simpson said.

Oregon's Cutting-Edge Winemakers
By Paul Gregutt
Photo by Ezra Marcos
The current generation of Oregon winemakers is moving the state's viticulture in splendid new directions. While Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris still account for almost 75% of Oregon's production, impressive growth is afoot for the state's other top grapes—Chardonnay, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Interest is also on the rise for other varieties, such as Riesling and Tempranillo.
But this progress stretches beyond mere grape choice. The state's pioneers had an "anything goes" philosophy, and today's game-changing winemakers continue to embrace such thinking. They're shattering any notion that Oregon is a one-trick wine pony, experimenting with diverse clones, sustainable farming and natural fermentation practices.
Leah Jørgensen is exploring the many possibilities of Cabernet Franc. Herb Quady showcases southern Oregon Viognier and Syrah. Isabelle Meunier shines a spotlight on Willamette Valley subregions. John House and Ksenija Kostic House tackle cool-climate whites, while consulting winemaker Drew Voit has a hand in a dozen start-ups. Each innovator has forged an exciting future of vinous variety for Oregon—and the best is yet to come.

Leah Jørgensen
Jørgensen didn't always know she'd become a winemaker. In college, she majored in English literature and creative writing, with minors in chemistry and anthropology.
She also received certification in holistic nutrition from The Wellspring School for Healing Arts in Portland, Oregon.
From there, she relocated to the East Coast, where she tried a variety of jobs before taking one at a wine shop in Washington, D.C. It was this position that would ultimately spark a passion and set the course for her future.

Jørgensen enrolled in wine classes and took jobs at a Virginia winery and a D.C. distributor, which scored her an invitation to attend Oregon Pinot Camp in 2004.
Jørgensen makes layered, complex wines from Southern Oregon grapes, most notably Cabernet Franc.
When seminars wrapped, she moved back to Oregon full-time and started work at iconic Pacific Northwest wineries such as Erath Winery, Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and Adelsheim Vineyard. She studied enology for two years at the Northwest Viticulture Center in Salem, Oregon, and later earned a degree in enology from Chemeketa Community College. Now she's based in the Portland area, and her own brand, Leah Jørgensen Cellars, was launched in 2011.
"Brand Oregon should be one that consumers can always count on for exceptional, high-quality standards," she says.
Newly married and expecting her first child in early 2019, Jørgensen also writes a blog, Pirate Princess Diaries. She uses the outlet to explore her passions and their impact on her winemaking.
"Every winemaker has an a-ha moment," she wrote. "Mine came about when I saw an unexpected pile of rocks in [Crater View Ranch] in the Rogue Valley. Embedded in several rocks were ancient marine shellfish, fossils and shell imprints that date back…about 250 million years ago. From this discovery, I began researching the dirt and geology of Southern Oregon."

Not many winemakers say, "I love analyzing the nutrient availability in grape juice, and using exceptional micronutrient and trace mineral sources for my additions to feed the yeasts." But Jørgensen means it.
"My specialty is nutrient deficiency," she says. "I have come to understand that most wine grapes come into the winery with some form of nutrient deficiency. While this is not new news in winemaking, it was the first learning curve I had to master that has made me a more competent, confident winemaker."

Drew Voit
With a résumé that includes stints at Domaine Serene and Shea Wine Cellars, Voit established a strong pedigree from which to set sail on his own. In 2012, he did just that, leaving his post at Shea to focus on a consulting winemaking business and his own Harper Voit brand.
Today, Voit is anchored at Björnson Vineyard in the heart of the Eola-Amity Hills American Viticultural Area (AVA), where he oversees the production of more than a dozen brands. This includes Five Fourteen Vineyards, Moffett Vineyards, Cramoisi Vineyard, Sylvanus Estate, Holmes Gap Vineyard and numerous startups.
He is also the winemaker for Elizabeth Chambers Cellar, consulting winemaker for Eminent Domaine and advises Dancin Vineyards.
His own brand, Harper Voit, produces around 1,400 cases annually. The portfolio includes single-vineyard Pinot Blancs, Pinot Noirs and an old-vine Riesling. He is also experimenting with a sparkling Pinot Blanc.
Voit oversees the production of more than a dozen brands across the state.
How does one person simultaneously monitor so many different projects?
"It is a lot of juggling," says Voit. "But it's not me doing the physical labor. I'm staring now at eight people who are good to take over if I get hit by a bus."
Voit describes custom-crush operations as often being "an efficiency model enterprise. Make decent wines at good prices for a variety of labels."
"A lot of custom-crush wines are at the whim of logistics and capacity," says Voit. "I promise compromise-free, non-efficient, non-cost effective, hyper-focused winemaking."
Vineyard sources are paramount, and Voit leans toward cooler sites. He makes the wines for Holmes Gap in the cool Van Duzer Corridor, which is expected to become an official AVA.
Another project for Sylvanus Estate offers what Voit says is "the highest level of stem lignification [when the wood ripens, hardens and turns brown] I've ever seen in the Willamette Valley." This vine characteristic inspires Voit to employ significant whole-cluster fermentation to lend distinctive, earthy characteristics as well as a woody structure to the final wines.
Voit also shares grapes with Ben Casteel and Jerry Murray at a high-density, mixed-clone vineyard he leases. They each claim every third row, and employ what Voit calls "a reactive, gut-oriented approach."
The goal is to explore three interpretations of identical genetic material. "It may take a decade or more, but there's got to be something fascinating to learn," he says.

John House and Ksenija Kostic House
The Houses admit that to specialize in white wines may not be the most lucrative business decision. But they believe these wines maximize their low-intervention approach and allow the vintage and vineyard to shine, not the vintner.
"At Ovum, each wine is produced the same way," says John. "If the wine smells and tastes different, it has everything to do with terroir, and little to do with the winemaker. Our hope is that, through our attention to detail and honest technique, we can produce old-fashioned wines in the modern world."
While the Houses aspire to be invisible, their winemaking techniques and goals to coax out textural complexity in their wines are impossible to completely overlook.
Ovum's Rieslings and Gewürztraminers are pre-soaked before fermentation; put through spontaneous fermentation in concrete egg, oval cask or barrel; and aged on the lees for eight to nine months for further complexity. They make no additions to the finished wine, other than minimal sulfur dioxide.
"I'm lucky to have worked with some of the most respected and technical winemakers in Oregon," says Ksenija, though the couple shares winemaking responsibilities at Ovum.
While the Houses aspire to be invisible, their winemaking techniques are impossible to completely overlook.
She cautions that over-reliance on technical expertise can stifle the intuitive and holistic aspect of winemaking. "When we started Ovum in 2011, it was hard to break away from textbook winemaking. As years went on, I learned to trust myself. [It's] not always easy, but in time it became liberating."
Each points to Big Salt, a co-fermented field blend of Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Muscat, as a favorite shot in the dark. It's ripe, aromatic, intense and compelling.
"Big Salt tells a story of that particular Oregon vintage, while multiple AVAs harmonize through the help of Mother Nature, not the conductor," says John.
Ovum wines put a playful spin on such serious enological considerations with memorable monikers like Off the Grid Riesling and Since I Fell For You Gewürztraminer. But more so, they express Oregon strengths beyond Pinot Noir.
"To define ourselves with only one variety is shortsighted," says Ksenija. "My hope is that in five to 10 years, Oregon will be known as a dynamic region beyond just Willamette Valley and Pinot Noir."

"On the world stage, most regions are focused on vineyards," says Meunier. "Here [in the Willamette Valley], a handful of sites are recognized, but not as many as you'd expect. We're on the springboard, and I wanted to be part of that conversation."
Meunier, a native of Quebec, studied winemaking and viticulture in New Zealand and Burgundy, where she worked at Felton Road and Domaine de la Vougeraie, respectively. In 2007, Dominique Lafon hired her to oversee winemaking at the new Evening Land property.
She took over winemaking of the company's Sonoma Coast wines in 2012, and met her business partner, Greg Ralston, that same year, when he was appointed Evening Land's new CEO.
The two left Evening Land and founded Lavinea in 2014, with Meunier as winemaker and Ralston as managing partner. Their experience and shared passion brought quick success.
Meunier follows an all-natural approach that includes native yeast fermentations and minimal oak profiles.
"We came to realize that we had a shared sensibility about what Oregon Pinot and Chardonnay could be," says Ralston. "Isabelle had made two vintages of Sonoma Coast wines also, which showed me her skill set. At the end of the day, there has to be a compelling story behind the wines, and Isabelle has the ability to tease a pure voice out of a site."
"We want Lavinea to present a portfolio of wines that can showcase the beauty of each site," says Meunier, "sites that are able to shine in the glass as a great place. In order for that to happen, you need vine age, soil, exposure and each site has to have a certain point of distinctiveness that makes it different from the norm."
Each of Meunier's wines achieves that. Together, they pinpoint specific characteristics of Yamhill-Carlton, Eola-Amity Hills, Dundee Hills and Tualatin Valley sites.
Five Winemakers Changing Washington Wine
In the winery, Meunier follows an all-natural approach that includes native yeast fermentations and minimal oak profiles. She fashions wines with deeply etched flavors that "integrate the best of both the Old World philosophies with New World techniques," she says.
Her approach is hard to dispute. Meunier focused on Chardonnay, considered by many Oregon's next superstar variety, early on, and uses LIVE certified-organic grape sources. She's also embraced innovative ways to work with existing trellising and unique picking techniques that have paid dividends. This craftsmanship is emblematic of the constant attention to detail that results in great wines.

Herb Quady
Asked what defines his approach to winemaking, Quady doesn't hesitate. "Generally, I am a minimalist. My overarching goal is to produce wines of place: tight, focused wines that showcase the nuances of a site."
Quady's education began in his family's sweet-wine enterprise, Quady Winery, in California's San Joaquin Valley. He completed the Viticulture and Enology program at California State University, Fresno, and moved to Southern Oregon in 2003.
Quady made wine for Troon Vineyard while he developed his own estate vineyard in the region. In 2006, Quady North was officially founded.
The timing was serendipitous. New wineries and vineyards brought a different focus, one that moved away from cool-climate grapes in favor of Mediterranean varieties. Quady's original estate vineyard, named Mae's after his eldest daughter, was planted to Viognier, Orange Muscat, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Malbec, Syrah and Tannat.
Much of Quady North's production is co-fermented… letting the wine's chemistry work itself out naturally.
Why Tannat?
"At Troon, I was tasked with making Malbec and Tannat, two varieties we thought had potential for our region," says Quady. "I remember the day that the fruit came in.
After running the chemistry, I wrote up work orders to acidulate the Malbec and de-acidulate the Tannat.
"I was suddenly struck with how ridiculous that would be," he says. "Why would I add acid to one lot and remove it from another? The only reason would be to stubbornly make standalone varietal wines from each."
Instead, Quady elected to try co-fermenting the lots, letting the chemistry work itself out naturally. "The wine came out delicious," he says. It reinforced his belief to create balance in wines as early in the process as possible.
Much of Quady North's production is co-fermented: Cabernet Franc is co-fermented with Malbec, and Grenache with Syrah. Vermentino is matched with Orange Muscat for a pét-nat, while Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc are all co-fermented for a white blend.
"Pan-Rhône-ish, with a distinct Loire-ish influence," is how Quady describes his wines. "It takes experience with the vineyards and lots, but it works wonderfully."

Rail capacity is one of the main issues that faces the United States's rail system. Many businesses want to increase their use of rail, but limited rail capacity of traditional rail-served communities and over utilized ports makes it difficult to utilize these services. Traditional communities that use rail, are finding less and less room for adding companies that would like to use rail and finding their rail capacity shrinking. With the growth in Intermodal traffic and other rail served businesses, some areas simply cannot support any more rail cars on their current tracks.
A recent article in The Daily Climate stated that, Energy users are now hogging the use of rail and crowding out agricultural rail users. In Montana, these users are shrinking rail capacity and causing agricultural users concerns for their future.
Another recent development in rail capacity is land associated with rail use has also become scarce. With the growing importance of rail, finding the right location with available land is an exercise in futility. But we do have an answer in Cedar City, Utah.
Cedar City, Utah has a 21-mile branch that is severely under-utilized. Located in the heart of the intermountain west, Cedar City has access to railroad lines, trucking routes, and is only a few hours away from two major airports. Cedar City has room to grow. By relocating to Port 15 Utah, businesses have the potential of realizing considerable expansion.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–IHP Capital Partners and Williams Homes today announced that Williams Ranch, a new master-planned community in the western Santa Clarita Valley they are developing through a joint venture, is progressing with grading operations and site improvements now underway.
Set on a scenic property in western Santa Clarita, Calif., Williams Ranch will include 497 homes in several distinct neighborhoods planned for mostly single-story homes, with a select number of two-story homes, ranging from 1,700 to more than 4,000 square feet on expansive lots, with the majority offering long-distance territorial or open space views. The majority of homesites, which start at a minimum of 7,000 square feet, provide the opportunity to design homes from 40' to 65' in width for spacious side and rear yards.
Williams Ranch amenities will include a private recreation center with clubhouse, pool, wine pavilion, outdoor kitchen and entertainment amphitheater. The community will feature large citrus orchards, vineyards, a five-acre Los Angeles County park and nearly 5 miles of walking trails winding throughout approximately 430 acres.
The community is located approximately one- and one-half miles west of the Interstate 5 and one mile north of the 126 freeway. It is directly adjacent to the Valencia Commerce Center and neighbors Castaic's Hasley Hills neighborhood.
"As a gated community of competitively priced traditional detached homes in a setting well-located for commuting to employment within the Santa Clarita and San Fernando Valleys in north Los Angeles County, we think Williams Ranch is uniquely positioned within the region," said Blaine Peterson, Managing Director for IHP Capital Partners, an investor in new housing developments throughout Southern California for more than 25 years. "We've had great success in previous partnerships with Williams, a company that has been dedicated to creating successful communities in the Santa Clarita Valley over the past two decades. We're excited to be working with them on carrying out the vision for Williams Ranch and expect a strong response from homebuyers."
The community is expected to open in late 2021.
"The Big Rancher is back at Williams Ranch," said Lance Williams, Chairman and CEO of Williams Homes. "We founded the company 23 years ago in the Santa Clarita Valley building big, beautiful single-story ranch style homes and Williams Ranch will bring that back in a huge way to the Santa Clarita Valley. There will be nothing that comes even close to offering all we have in store for Williams Ranch and we are very excited to bring this community to life in the Santa Clarita Valley where we call home."
