What the World Was Watching: The Action Zone – April 16, 1995
28th July 2017 by LScisco
–Todd Pettengill recaps the end of last week's main event between Razor Ramon and Tatanka, which resulted in a double count out and saw a brawl between both participants, the 1-2-3 Kid, and King Kong Bundy.
–Todd Pettengill and Gorilla Monsoon are doing commentary, with both of them still in Lowell, Massachusetts. They allow Pettengill to do the lead play-by-play duties for the show, which is really puzzling.
–Opening Contest: The 1-2-3 Kid (3-1) pins Barry Horowitz after a roundhouse kick at 2:46:
Horowitz is not booked like a regular enhancement talent here, getting a few near-falls on the Kid, including a Northern Lights suplex. However, the Kid takes Horowitz's head off with a roundhouse kick and goes over.
–Ray Rougeau tells the Kid that King Kong Bundy is angry that the Kid embarrassed him on last week's show. The Kid says that he was just trying to help his friend Razor Ramon and was not trying to embarrass anyone.
–Pettengill and Monsoon discuss Bertha Faye's attack on WWF Women's Champion Alundra Blayze two weeks ago on RAW and discuss pictures of her recovery from nose surgery.
–Men on a Mission (7-1) beat John Senowski & Charlie Hunter when Mabel pins Hunter after a belly-to-belly suplex at 2:37:
Senowski is a really thin jobber that Mabel proceeds to destroy with a piledriver and Hunter fares no better, with Mabel destroying him in the corner before finishing him with a belly-to-belly suplex. It is clear that these matches by heel Men on a Mission are foreshadowing a Mabel singles push as he is getting nearly all of the offense in them.
–Men on a Mission tell Rougeau that the Smoking Gunns are yesterday's news and they are moving onto other things. I suppose that wraps up that "feud" without an actual payoff.
–Pettengill and Monsoon hype the In Your House pay-per-view in a month's time. The card is headlined by Diesel defending the WWF Championship against Sid.
–Non-Title Match: Jeff Jarrett (Intercontinental Champion w/The Roadie) (7-5) defeated Scott Taylor via submission to the figure-four leg lock at 3:35:
Even though Jarrett is facing an enhancement talent, he and the Roadie cheat anyway, with the Roadie helping Jarrett work a Boston crab and then choking Taylor on the ropes behind the referee's back. Taylor excites the crowd by trying a flying body press but crashes and burns when Jarrett moves out of the way and the figure-four breaks Jarrett's three-match losing streak.
-We get a replay of the Bob Backlund spring break segment that aired on Superstars.
–A weird commercial of fourth grader Jasmine McNeil reading a story about how "there is no hope with dope" with the Undertaker suddenly appearing beside her and echoing her words is shown.
–Kama (w/Ted DiBiase) (9-0) beats John Crystal after a belly-to-belly suplex at 2:10:
There was an Internet rumor years ago that John Crystal was actually Santino Marella. Instead, he was a Canadian wrestler that teamed with fellow WWF jobber Mike Khoury to form a tag team called Models Incorporated on the independent circuit. Kama uses this bout to show off his submission skills before ending things with a belly-to-belly suplex, which appears to be a favorite finisher for a growing number of WWF superstars.
–After the match, DiBiase heralds Kama as a shining example of the New Generation and of a restructured Million Dollar Corporation. DiBiase then introduces all of the members of his Corporation – Tatanka, King Kong Bundy, Irwin R. Schyster, and Bam Bam Bigelow – showing that Nikolai Volkoff has been written out of the company for good, and then proceeds to welcome Sid as the Corporation's newest acquisition. Sid high fives his new Corporate teammates except for Bigelow, who keeps his distance.
–A Hunter-Hearst Helmsley vignette is aired.
–Pettengill and Monsoon hype the house you can win at In Your House.
–Call 1-900-747-4WWF to hear Jim Ross's interview with Shawn Michaels for $1.49 per minute!
–The Allied Powers (4-0) defeat The Heavenly Bodies (4-3) when the British Bulldog pins Jimmy Del Ray after a running powerslam at 12:57 shown:
Conspicuous by his absence in this match is Jim Cornette, who does not accompany the Bodies to ringside for this week's main event. Monsoon announces during the bout that WWF Champion Diesel has given a title match to Bam Bam Bigelow although it is unclear when that match will take place. The Bodies work over the Bulldog, placing him in peril, and working in some nice double teams behind the referee's back. Luger eventually gets the hot tag, but does something really stupid in tagging in the Bulldog after cleaning house. However, the recuperate and regenerative powers of the ring apron are enough for the Bulldog to shrug off all of the punishment that he has taken for the last seven minutes and capture the win for his team when Jimmy Del Ray tries to float over on a blind charge. The nonsensical finish hurts this one a bit, but the Bodies did a good job looking like a threat to the much more talented Allied Powers. Having Cornette on the outside would have enhanced their possibilities of winning as well. Rating: ***
–Tune in next week to see the New Headshrinkers face the Blu Brothers!
Wrestling Challenge for this week also featured two additional bouts:
*Aldo Montoya (6-2) pinned Mark Starr
*Duke Droese (8-0) pinned Mike Khoury
The company was preparing to do a big tour of Germany so there were not any house show results from this past week. Here were some news and notes about the company, though (courtesy of The Wrestling Observer):
*Dave Meltzer reports that Shane Douglas might be headed to the WWF. Douglas recently dropped the ECW title to the Sandman and then put on a Monday Night RAW t-shirt in the ECW Arena. However, this just appears to be an angle since Douglas has not signed a contract with the WWF yet, but ECW diehards are concerned about losing talent since Sabu has left the company.
*The airing of the odd vignette on The Action Zone with the Undertaker about drugs may be in reaction to media interest in doing stories on the use of drugs and steroids in wrestling due to the recent deaths of Eddie Gilbert and Big John Studd.
*Owen Hart & Yokozuna will be defending the WWF tag team titles in late April on a major USWA card, with their opponents not yet named. The company plans to continue sending some talent to the USWA despite Jerry Jarrett recently forming a working agreement with WCW.
*Although WrestleMania had a disappointing buy rate, Monday Night RAW is doing good ratings, with the recent edition on April 10 pulling a 3.7 rating, tying highest in the history of the show.
*The company will be bringing in Dan Spivey. Meltzer says that he may be a tag team partner of Sid, although that would be a completely unoriginal idea.
*Missy Hyatt has reportedly contacted the company for an announcer position, but the company is not showing much interest.
The Last Word: This show was significant from a storyline perspective because it put Sid with the Million Dollar Corporation. The decision to do so was questionable, though, because the Corporation had a tendency to weaken everyone that was affiliated with it and Sid appeared to be far too talented to need the group. Aside from that, it also featured some good wrestling action and is advancing an interesting big man vs. small feud with King Kong Bundy and the 1-2-3 Kid.
Up Next (on Tuesday): Monday Night RAW from April 17, 1995!


There are many essential oils that you can use alone or in blends of two or three to fight wrinkles and the aging process. My favorite oils for this purpose are lavender, thyme, patchouli, clary-sage, fennel, chamomile, frankincense, myrrh, lemon, rosemary, and orange. There are others that are also good for treating wrinkles so please comment on this post if you'd like the whole list of anti-aging essential oils.
You can use the above oils as a face oil (add a carrier oil), in a bath, and also as a body oil because you should be pampering all of your skin, not just your face. Skin regenerates at a different rate for all of us so allow at least thirty days before expecting to see an improvement. It is also important to treat your inside as well as the outside so don't overload your system with toxins like alcohol, red meat, caffeine, and sugar because they clog your skin cells as well as your digestive system.
Yesterday we talked about treating your dog's mild case of fleas. What if your dog has a much more serious case of fleas or other parasites? If that is the case, put 4 drops of cedarwood or lavender oil directly on a piece of cloth as we discussed yesterday and rub the material together to spread the oils before you put it on the brush. Now brush your pet and rinse the brush several times with plain warm water as you go.
If your pet has a wound, bathe the area in water mixed with thyme or lavender oil. You should use 6 drops of either one of those oils to a half gallon of water. The essential oils will help to clean the sore spot because they are natural antibiotics and disinfectants. Of course, your pet will probably lick the wound too but he won't be ingesting any unnatural substances.
We are continuing our blog on natural skin care recipes using the basic mask recipe that contains 2 ounces of green clay and 3 teaspoons of corn flour. We previously discussed how to make the basic mask recipe and gave you a formula for a mask for normal skin. Remember to leave the mask on for 15 minutes, rinse it off and apply a carrier oil like aloe vera or shea oil, then dab your face with a tissue.
When I was younger, I didn't think too much about skincare. My face was naturally blemish and wrinkle free. I didn't worry about moisturizing or putting on sunscreen every day. Now that I'm older, I'm much more meticulous with my skin care regimen.
My wake up call came when I looked in the mirror and was surprised by the rough texture and lines I saw forming on my forehead and mouth. I started researching how to keep my skin healthy and looking fresh. I quickly learned that many over the counter skin care items contain harsh chemicals. It took some searching, but I finally found natural healthy skin care products that cleanse and nourish my skin without added toxins.

Responsibility Report 2018
FIRST SUSTAINABLE LEGO® BRICKS WILL BE LAUNCHED IN 2018
Download all assets - 45KB
Production has started on a range of sustainable LEGO® elements made from plant-based plastic sourced from sugarcane. The new sustainable LEGO 'botanical' elements will come in varieties including leaves, bushes and trees.
"At the LEGO Group we want to make a positive impact on the world around us, and are working hard to make great play products for children using sustainable materials. We are proud that the first LEGO elements made from sustainably sourced plastic are in production and will be in LEGO boxes this year. This is a great first step in our ambitious commitment of making all LEGO bricks using sustainable materials," said Tim Brooks, Vice President, Environmental Responsibility at the LEGO Group.
The move is part of the LEGO Group's commitment to use sustainable materials in core products and packaging by 2030.
Uncompromised quality and safety
The new sustainable LEGO elements are made from polyethylene, which is a soft, durable and flexible plastic, and while they are based on sugar-cane material, they are technically identical to those produced using conventional plastic. The elements have been tested to ensure the plant-based plastic meets the high standards for quality and safety that the LEGO Group has, and consumers expect from LEGO products.
"LEGO products have always been about providing high quality play experiences giving every child the chance to shape their own world through inventive play. Children and parents will not notice any difference in the quality or appearance of the new elements, because plant-based polyethylene has the same properties as conventional polyethylene," said Tim Brooks.
The unique LEGO brick design, and the LEGO Group's uncompromised focus on quality and safety during the past 60 years ensures that two LEGO bricks produced decades apart can still fit together. As the LEGO Group is working towards using sustainable materials in its core products and packaging, it will remain strongly rooted and driven by the uncompromised focus on high product quality and safety.
Building children's future one brick at a time
The LEGO Group has partnered with WWF to support and build demand for sustainably sourced plastic, and has joined the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance (BFA), an initiative of WWF, to secure fully sustainable sourcing of raw material for the bioplastics industry. The plant based plastic used to make the botanical LEGO elements is third party certified following global standards for responsibly sourced sugarcane.
"It is essential that companies in each industry find ways to responsibly source their product materials and help ensure a future where people, nature, and the economy thrive," said Alix Grabowski, a senior program officer at WWF. "The LEGO Group's decision to pursue sustainably sourced bio-based plastics represents an incredible opportunity to reduce dependence on finite resources, and their work with the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance will allow them to connect with other companies to continue to think creatively about sustainability."
About LEGO elements made from plants
• Polyethylene elements are 1-2% of the total amount of plastic elements produced by the LEGO Group; The sustainable product range covers LEGO® botanical elements such as leaves, bushes and trees made entirely from plant-based plastic.
• Plant-based polyethylene used in LEGO elements is made from ethanol produced from sugarcane.
• The sugarcane used is sourced sustainably in accordance with guidance from the Bioplastic Feedstock Alliance (BFA) and is certified following global standards for responsibly sourced sugarcane.
• All suppliers must comply with the LEGO Group's Code of Conduct, which specifies strict requirements for ethical, environmental and health & safety standards based on leading global guidelines.
• The LEGO Group works closely with its suppliers to ensure life-cycle assessments are conducted, which map the environmental impacts from the production of the bio-based material.
What is a sustainable material?
There is no common definition of a sustainable material. Several aspects influence the sustainability of a material. It is to a high degree determined by its source, chemical composition, its use (in a product) and management (at end-of-life), and the impact it can have in both environmental and social areas.
The LEGO Group believes a new sustainable material must have an ever-lighter footprint than the material it replaces across key environmental and social impact areas such as fossil resource use, human rights and climate change.
About sustainability at the LEGO Group
• The LEGO Group partners with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF), as part of efforts to reduce CO2 emissions in manufacturing and supply chain operations, and promote global action on climate change.
• Through investments in wind power, the energy used to make LEGO bricks is balanced by the production of renewable energy.
• The LEGO Group targeted 2030 to reach zero waste in operations, and introduced sustainable paper pulp trays for the LEGO advent calendar, reducing plastic waste from going to landfill.

Forthcoming in August 2019
Winner of the 2018 Paul M. Sweezy – Paul A. Baran Memorial Award for original work regarding the political economy of imperialism, Intan Suwandi's Value Chains examines the exploitation of labor in the Global South. Focusing on the issue of labor within global value chains—vast networks of people, tools, and activities needed to deliver goods and services to the market and controlled by multinationals—Suwandi offers a deft empirical analysis of unit labor costs that is closely related to Marx's own theory of exploitation. | more…
Shamrocks and Oil Slicks: A People's Uprising Against Shell Oil in County Mayo, Ireland
by Fred A. Wilcox
Topics: Ecology , Globalization , Movements
Places: Global , United Kingdom
Forthcoming in September 2019
County Mayo, Ireland, is spectacularly beautiful. Dolphins, whales, and seals frolic in bays, rivers teem with salmon. Into this tranquil, unspoiled region, in early 2002, came Shell Oil, announcing plans to build a gas refinery. Shell promised wonderful things: new jobs, improved roads, money for schools. Church officials called this project a "godsend," while honest, hard-working families, who had lived in Mayo for generations, certainly saw no harm in the project. But when the citizens of County Mayo realized what Shell actually intended to do, they rose up. Shamrocks & Oil Slicks tells the story of County Mayo—the fishermen, farmers, teachers, business people—who, motivated by love for their environment, their community, and their country, fought one of the planet's most powerful destroyers to a standstill. | more…

Forthcoming in November 2019
Why, asks Pem Davidson Buck, is punishment so central to the functioning of the United States, a country proclaiming "liberty and justice for all"? The Punishment Monopoly challenges our everyday understanding of American history, focusing on the constructions of race, class, and gender upon which the United States was built, and which still support racial capitalism and the carceral state. After all, Buck writes, "a state, to be a state, has to punish … bottom line, that is what a state and the force it controls is for." | more…
Socialist Register 2020: Beyond Market Dystopia: New Ways of Living
Edited by Leo Panitch and Gregory Albo
Topics: Economic Crisis , Movements , Socialism
Forthcoming in December 2019
How can we build a future with better health and homes, respecting people and the environment? The 2020 edition of the Socialist Register, Beyond Market Dystopia, contains a wealth of incisive essays that entice readers to do just that: to wake up to the cynical, implicitly market-driven concept of human society we have come to accept as everyday reality. Intellectuals and activists such as Michelle Chin, Nancy Fraser, Arun Gupta, and Jeremy Brecher connect with and go beyond classical socialist themes, to combine an analysis of how we are living now with visions and plans for new strategic, programmatic, manifesto-oriented alternative ways of living. Crafted with purposeful hope in an age of despair, each essay in this volume aims to create a world of agency and justice. | more…
The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology
Topics: Ecology , Marxism , Socialism
Places: Europe , Global , United States
Forthcoming in January 2020
Twenty years ago, John Bellamy Foster's Marx's Ecology: Materialism and Nature introduced a new understanding of Karl Marx's revolutionary ecological materialism. More than simply a study of Marx, it commenced an intellectual and social history, encompassing thinkers from Epicurus to Darwin, who developed materialist and ecological ideas. Now, with The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology, Foster continues this narrative. In so doing, he uncovers a long history of efforts to unite issues of social justice and environmental sustainability that will help us comprehend and counter today's unprecedented planetary emergencies. | more…
The Robbery of Nature: Capitalism and the Ecological Rift
by John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark
Topics: Capitalism , Marxist Ecology
Forthcoming in February 2020
In the nineteenth century, Karl Marx, inspired by the German chemist Justus von Liebig, argued that capitalism's relation to its natural environment was that of a robbery system, leading to an irreparable rift in the metabolism between humanity and nature. In the twenty-first century, these classical insights into capitalism's degradation of the earth have become the basis of extraordinary advances in critical theory and practice associated with contemporary ecosocialism. In The Robbery of Nature, John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark, working within this historical tradition, examine capitalism's plundering of nature via commodity production, and how it has led to the current anthropogenic rift in the Earth System. | more…

Here's everything we know about the next 4 'Fantastic Beasts' sequels
Jacob Shamsian
The official cast photo for "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald." Jude Law, playing Albus Dumbledore, is on the far left. Johnny Depp, as Gellert Grindelwald, is on the far right.
The next "Fantastic Beasts" movie — called "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald" — will be released on November 16.
The series follows Newt Scamander and the fight against Gellert Grindelwald, the dark wizard who rivals Albert Dumbledore.
We're introduced to several new characters in the first teaser image for the sequel and lots of details in the first trailer.
Here's everything we know about the rest of the series.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is the first movie J.K. Rowling has ever written. Unsurprisingly, it was a huge success. There are four more sequels coming out with the next one — "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald" — scheduled for November 16, 2018.
The first film set in the "Harry Potter" universe follows magizoologist Newt Scamander and his suitcase of magical creatures on a romp through New York City.
But the rise of Gellert Grindelwald, a powerful dark wizard controversially played by Johnny Depp, overshadows the entire series. He wants to expose magic to non-magical folk and start a war between magicians and non-magicians. Through that, wizards can win and rule the world.
Here's everything we can expect.
The series will be about defeating Grindelwald
Johnny Depp as Gellert Grindelwald in the trailer for "Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald."
J.K. Rowling has said the series will span 19 years. The first movie takes place in 1926, so the series should wrap up by 1945.
1945 is the year that Albus Dumbledore famously defeated Grindelwald in an epic duel, leading to Grindelwald's imprisonment and winning the Elder Wand for himself. Decades later, Harry Potter used the Elder Wand to defeat Voldemort.
In the series, Johnny Depp plays Grindelwald, though "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" actor Jamie Campbell Bower returns to play younger versions of the character.
We're going to see Dumbledore again
He's going to be played by Jude Law. Dumbledore and Grindelwald were childhood best friends, and Dumbledore is definitely going to figure into the rest of the series.
At the time, Dumbledore was the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts, under the headmastership of Armando Dippet.
Jude Law as Dumbledore in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."
Each movie will be set in a different city
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" refreshingly took place in New York, not Britain. But at the end of the movie, Newt Scamander, the film's protagonist, boards a ship back across the ocean.
The next movie takes place in Paris, so Scamander will ultimately end up there, with a possible stop in Britain first to meet with Dumbledore. The trailers prominently feature Dumbledore in Hogwarts, so we'll definitely see some of that in the next movie.
According to director David Yates, each movie in the series will primarily take place in a different city.
"This is a global story, ultimately," Yates told Entertainment Weekly." And given that there's a global audience for this, it's all the more delightful to take the story to different parts of the world."
There's also a deleted scene from the first movie where Credence Barebone is on a ship leaving New York. He might join up with Scamander, or he might end up elsewhere. Credence and Grindelwald will be "main players" in the series, according to producer David Heyman.
The Great Hall at Hogwarts.
We also know that Grindelwald never had much of a reputation in Britain, and that he was largely overshadowed by Voldemort decades later. Grindelwald, who went to the Scandinavian wizarding school Durmstrang, mostly had his activities confined to Eastern Europe.
But we also might stick around in New York as Jacob Kowalski return
At the end of the first film, Queenie Goldstein steps into Jacob Kowalski's bake shop. Kowalski, a No-Maj, had his memory erased, but it looks like he still has some attachment to his magical adventure. He bakes pastries in the shape of magical animals. And when he locks eyes with Queenie, he touches the scar on the back of his neck left by a murtlap bite.
In the "Crimes of Grindelwald" trailer, we also see Kowalski reunited with Scamander, so he'll be back somehow.
Queenie and Jacob.
Jaap Buitendijk/Warner Bros.
Queenie and Jacob are together in the cast photo, so it seems like they'll be reunited as well. We can probably expect that Jacob will regain his memory somehow and join Scamander's troupe. That could happen in New York, Paris, or somewhere else.
It turns out Nagini used to be a human
One of the biggest twists to be revealed before the new movie is that Claudia Kim's character is, in fact, Nagini. Yes, Voldemort's pet snake. The character, played by Claudia Kim, is a Maledictus, which means she's the carrier of a "blood curse" that ultimately transforms her into a beast."
It's a type of magic we haven't seen before in the "Harry Potter" universe, but is akin to werewolves. Unlike werewolves, though, the Maledictus curse only works on women.
"Maledictuses are always women, whereas werewolves can be either sex. The Maledictus carries a blood curse from birth, which is passed down from mother to daughter," Rowling wrote on Twitter.
Claudia Kim as Nagini in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."
The reveal of Kim's character as Nagini has been controversial, with critics pointing out that one of the few actors of color is ultimately doomed to be a slavish pet to the most evil character in the series. Rowling, however, has assured fans that all will be revealed by the end of the series.
Based on Nagini's position in the photo and the trailers, it looks like she'll be close to Credence, who has a sort of magical curse of his own, and is himself an outcast of the wizarding world.
There are wizarding schools all over the world that we might visit
Grindelwald's rise — though we know it was contained — was a global event. He ended up in America, after all. J.K. Rowling has written about wizarding communities and schools all over the world, including in Japan and Africa. There are plenty of locations available for the series to travel to in its four planned sequels.
The Deathly Hallows could become a big part of the plot
When Dumbledore and Grindelwald were young ambitious friends dreaming of world domination, they considered going after the Deathly Hallows — three magical objects that make their beholder the "master of Death." The objects are the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility, and the Resurrection Stone.
Grindelwald's Deathly Hallows necklace.
At this point in the story, Grindelwald already has the Elder Wand. Did he stop there? Or is he still going after the other two objects?
Grindelwald's sign, after all, is the Deathly Hallows symbol. It's still a big part of his brand.
Credence has an adopted sister who may have magical powers who could potentially reunite with him
Though it's not entirely clear in the movie, Credence's sister Chastity gets killed in the blast which kills Mary Lou at the orphanage. However, Credence also had an adopted sister called Modesty he was close with who was interested in magic. She was caught playing with a toy wand.
Graves believed she may also have magical powers.
Ezra Miller as Credence Barebone in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."
What happened to Modesty? We never found out at the end of "Fantastic Beasts," but now we know that there may be one more American witch out there, so we'll probably find out. Will she follow Credence to Europe? Or will she chart her own way in America?
Credence himself also has an update. He appears angry in one of the "Crimes of Grindelwald" trailers, and possibly became trapped in a kind of circus. He also apparently gained some control of his Obscurial powers. We see him releasing and retracting some kind of dark energy from his palms, without even the aid of a wand.
Scamander and Tina Goldstein will eventually get married
J.K. Rowling's guidebook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," written in 2001, uses Newt Scamander as the pseudonymous author for the book. In the "About the author" section, it says Scamander is retired and "lives in Dorset with his wife Porpentina."
In the next movie, Tina is reinstated as an Auror for MACUSA.
The next "Fantastic Beasts" movie will be released in 2018.
But there's more of Scamander's love life to discover first
Scamander has some complicated past at Hogwarts with a girl named Leta Lestrange, plated by Zoe Kravitz. She had once been close to Newt, but now she's engaged to his brother, Theseus Scamander, to be played by Callum Turner. Newt keeps a photo of Lestrange with him anyway.
Zoe Kravitz and Callum Turner as Leta Lestrange and Theseus Scamander.
Also, Lestrange comes from a family of dark wizards. Newt probably has to take care of that baggage before he can settle down with Tina.
We'll also learn more about Theseus, who seems to be something of a celebrity in the wizarding world, and fights alongside his brother in the "Crimes of Grindelwald" trailer.
Speaking of which, what did happen back at Hogwarts, anyway?
We know that Newt was expelled from Hogwarts — possibly under the headmastership of Phineas Nigellus Black — after taking the blame for a magical experiment that endangered the life of another student.
It seems to have something to do with his friendship with Leta Lestrange, but the details are still a little hazy. Compare it to Hagrid's situation, for example, where he was expelled from Hogwarts for ostensibly endangering the lives of other students, and had his wand taken away.
Will we find out what happened? J.K. Rowling seems to indicate that we will.
—J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) November 21, 2016
Jessica Williams will be in the series
One of the most important bits of casting news is that Jessica Williams, formerly of "The Daily Show" and recently the star of the Netflix movie "The Incredible Jessica James," will be in the series.
She's going to play Professor Eulalie "Lally" Hicks, who teaches at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the American wizarding school. Rowling said the character will be teased in "Crimes of Grindelwald" but won't have a larger part until the third movie in the series.
And so will Nicolas Flamel
Brontis Jodorowsky, the actor and son of legendary Chilean filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, will star as Nicolas Flamel. Flamel plays an important role in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" as one of the only wizards to figure out the secret to immortality.
Brontis Jodorowsky as Nicolas Flamel in "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."
Back in October, the official "Fantastic Beasts" Facebook page teased what seemed to be a picture of his diary, so maybe that will come into play.
Flamel also has the distinction of being the only "Harry Potter" character who actually existed in real life. (The real Flamel was not immortal.)

Providing emergency financial assistance helps working families overcome one-time barriers and remain stably housed.
When you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, even one financial setback can be catastrophic. About 24% of Bucks County residents are ALICE, an acronym for asset limited, income constrained, and employed. ALICE earns more than the Federal Poverty Level, but less than the basic cost of living. In 2020, 77% of these families had 1 month or less of savings.
HOW YOUR DOLLARS HELP
A quick response from you helps our neighbors avoid homelessness, hunger, and getting caught in a cycle they can't break.
Number of individuals helped through the Emergency Needs Fund in 2021.
Number of households that were helped with emergency assistance in 2021.
Number of families helped with emergency housing assistance through the Emergency Needs Fund in 2021.
Number of families helped with one-time utility bill assistance in 2021.
Join us in changing lives in Bucks County for good by making a donation today.
Donations can be made online or by mailing a check to, United Way of Bucks County, 413 Hood Blvd., Fairless Hills, PA 19030.
ASSIST WITH EMERGENCY NEEDS IN BUCKS COUNTY TODAY
The majority of working families can't cover a $500 emergency. 30% have no savings at all.
For low-income working families, a one-time issue can trigger a downward spiral that can end in loss of a job and even homelessness.
For low-income seniors living on a fixed income, an unexpected expense is impossible to cover. It can mean skipping medications, missing meals, or living in an unsafe environment, all of which have serious health consequences.
You provide emergency assistance with basic needs, like utilities, transportation, and housing.
You make sure working families don't end up homeless because of a one-time emergency.
Families with financial problems that can't be solved by one-time assistance are referred to more intensive programs, strengthening our local safety net.
Assist Today
Join United Way of Bucks County by taking compassionate action to help with emergency needs in our community! Our charitable outreach fills the gap in community funding for help with emergency needs and provides welcomed support for services like car repairs, housing concerns, and other urgent emergency expenses. We represent a beacon of compassion to individuals and families across Bucks County and know that by supporting our residents in need today, our entire community stands to benefit in the long run.

Nebraska resettles more refugees per capita than any other state, and many of these refugees are educated at Lincoln High School, in Nebraska's capital city. Flags of all the countries represented by the student body line the main entrance to the school, representing the school's embrace of diversity. This whole-hearted celebration is found in the thriving campus climate. It's a place where demanding academics join with vibrant arts and a welcoming atmosphere.
Lincoln High has created a culture of support and challenge, where students are willing to take risks – academic and personal – with little fear of failure. The school's International Baccalaureate (IB) program is one of only three in the state and the only one in Lincoln. As other recognized Schools of Opportunity have done, Lincoln uses its IB program not as an exclusive enclave, but instead as a way to enrich curriculum and teacher professional development and to prepare a broader swath of its students for college.
As one student explained, at Lincoln teachers and students believe that "if you are making too high of a grade, you are not learning enough and should find a harder class to challenge yourself." This applies to students born speaking English in Nebraska and to those who arrive speaking one of the 29 other languages represented by the school's students. Administrators and a counselor who work specifically with the school's emerging bilinguals are able to facilitate mid-semester course switches to allow for such continued challenge and support. In addition, bilingual language liaisons, as well as onsite offices for numerous community partners, provide direct support for students and their families.
Everyone finds a place to belong. In fact, most students find multiple homes among the school's vast offerin gs in arts, athletics, and academics. The feeling is tangible as you enter the courtyard with an art installation that combines photography and sculpture. The rich arts program, available to all, serves as a common language for Lincoln's diverse student population.
The good stuff from Lincoln High School: College grads and national attention.
TLTE's Hamann recognized for support of Lincoln High.
A haven for refugees, this Nebraska high school builds a web of support for its diverse student population.
Excellence in Education: Lincoln High "School Of Opportunity"

Home Ask a Geek The Geek Report: How do I set up my business phone system?
The Geek Report: How do I set up my business phone system?
The other day my business phones were down due to the Comcast outage. What can I do to avoid that in the future? Besides Comcast and Verizon, are there any phone providers I should consider?
Great questions. Probably doesn't help, but you had a lot of company in the same shoes.
Comcast has something called "Call Forwarding Not Reachable," which, if power goes out or the network goes down, automatically forwards your phone calls to a predetermined number you specify beforehand. To set this up (if you have Comcast phone service), pick up the phone and dial *58, then follow the instructions. If your phone is working but you want to forward calls for a specific time period, pick up the phone, dial *72, and follow the instructions. To stop forwarding the calls, pick up the phone and dial *73. Verizon uses the same *72 and *73 solution.
With regards to other providers, some phone solutions utilize voice-over-IP (VoIP) technology, which uses the Internet to make and receive calls on your computer, tablet or smartphone (depending on the provider). Google Voice and Ooma are two examples of this. Google Voice is mostly a forwarding service that also handles voicemails and incoming text messages. That said, it's possible to make phone calls from your computer with it, and/or buy a third-party device from a company called Obihai for $50 that will allow you to use phones with this service. Ooma provides a device (for $100) to connect to phones to use their calling services (no third party needed), and provides a very solid host of services that are easier to set up than Google Voice. It's more of an overall solution, as it includes its own adapter to manage your phones. In my opinion, Google Voice is more for the do-it-yourself phone tinkerers, whereas Ooma gives an easier out-of-the-box solution with more features geared to the everyday user.
My advice is to do your research while everything works, and set a plan for what to do in case the phones are not functioning. This includes where to forward calls, for example. Many more details on providers' websites than in my 300-plus word article.
This geek felt your pain that day, and was dealing with issues related to the same outage. These problems do affect us as well. Geeks can be stung by tech issues, usually leading to funny stories I'll share in a future article.

Q: How do I run custom script from magento2 root folder? Below url throwing Class customScript does not exist error. my test.php and customScript.php are in test folder.
Once i run http://127.0.0.1/magento2/test.php, getting "Class customScript does not exist error" .
Here is my test.php code.
<?php

  require __DIR__ . '../../app/bootstrap.php';

 $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

 $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('customScript');

$bootstrap->run($app);

And in customScript.php
<?php

  class customScript extends \Magento\Framework\App\Http implements

   \Magento\Framework\AppInterface {

public function launch()
{
    $this->_state->setAreaCode('frontend'); //Set area code 'frontend' or 'adminhtml
    $id = 11588;
    $_product = $this->_objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($id);

    echo $_product->getName();

    return $this->_response;
}

public function catchException(\Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap $bootstrap, \Exception $exception)
{
    return false;
}

  }

How do I run php custom script on magento2
Please anyone able to achieve this?

A: Please try below code to run external script in magento2 :
<?php
use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;

require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';
$params =  $_SERVER;
$bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $params);

$obj = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

$state = $obj->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
$state->setAreaCode('frontend');

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();

echo "test custom script";

?>

A: Here is the code you need to use for test.php
<?php
require DIR . '../../app/bootstrap.php';
require dirname(__FILE__) . '/customScript.php';

$bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

$app = $bootstrap->createApplication('customScript');

$bootstrap->run($app);

A: Use below code to run a custom script from Magento 2 root folder
<?php
    use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;

    include('app/bootstrap.php');
    require dirname(__FILE__) . '/customScript.php';
    $bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);

    $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

    $state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
    $state->setAreaCode('frontend');

    $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('customScript');

    $bootstrap->run($app);

A: Use the below code to run a custom script on Magento 2 root folder.
<?php
use Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap;
require 'app/bootstrap.php';

$bootstrap = Bootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
$objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();

$securedArea = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Framework\Registry');
$securedArea->register('isSecureArea', true);

$state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
$state->setAreaCode('global');

$productCollectionFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory');
$productCollection = $productCollectionFactory->create();
$productCollection->addAttributeToSelect('image');
$productCollection
    ->setPageSize(20) // only get 10 products
    ->setCurPage(1)  // first page (means limit 0,10)
    ->load();

foreach($productCollection as $product){
    echo $sku = $product->getSku();echo "
";

}
?>

If the pub folder is your Magento's root folder then use the following custom script and you need to create it inside pub diectory.
<?php
use Magento\Framework\Config\ConfigOptionsListConstants;
require __DIR__ . '/../app/bootstrap.php';

$objectManagerFactory = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::createObjectManagerFactory(BP, []);

$objectManager = $objectManagerFactory->create([]);

$state = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\App\State');
$state->setAreaCode('frontend');

$productCollectionFactory = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory');
$productCollection = $productCollectionFactory->create();
$productCollection->addAttributeToSelect('image');
$productCollection
    ->setPageSize(20) // only get 10 products
    ->setCurPage(1)  // first page (means limit 0,10)
    ->load();

foreach($productCollection as $product){
    echo $sku = $product->getSku();echo "
";
}
?>

Home Invasions: A Narrative Ethic of Race and Privacy
Clark University paid tribute to a beloved and innovative professor, the late Winston Napier, by hosting a conference on the directions of African American studies in the 21st century. "Evolutionary Momentum in African American Studies--Legacy and Future Direction."
The two-day conference honored the late professor's success in founding the African American Intellectual Culture Series (AAICS), sponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins School of Humanities at Clark. Prominent scholars in African American Studies, many of whom were part of the AAICS, spoke at the conference. Kayla FC Holloway, Ph.D., James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke University, delivered the keynote address, "Home Invasions: A Narrative Ethic of Race and Privacy". Holloway was one of the first speakers in the AAICS.

High-end glass products for innovative interior and furniture designs. Between 18 and 21 February 2013 AGC Interpane will present their joint, greatly expanded collection of decorative glass at ZOW in Bad Salzuflen, Germany, an international fair for suppliers to the furniture and interior design industries. A wide range of decorative glass and innovative design solutions will be displayed on the commun stand, including digital prints on large glass elements (ipadecor), top-quality clear or tinted acid-etched glass (Matelux), painted Lacobel and Matelac glass in gloss or satin finishes, delicate partially chrome-based coated glass (ipachrome design), body-tinted float glass and a number of other startling innovations.
The complementary product portfolios of the two companies, which entered into a strategic alliance in July 2012, have significantly increased the range of glass both can offer.
Today's interior and furniture designers are on the lookout for innovative products that combine the intelligent use of materials with flamboyant new designs and functions. Demand for marriages of colour and glass and for the use of decorative glass in interiors is stronger than ever because the smooth, shiny surface of glass, whether transparent or opaque, makes it a perfect material for furniture. Ever more creative solutions are being designed for shelves, bathroom furniture, shower screens, stairs, kitchen units, doors and even entire interior wall elements.
On its stand, AGC Interpane will showcase an eye-catching array of products, including ceramic digitally printed panels, acid-etched and painted glass in a generous range of colours, a desk with a heatable glass top, sand-blasted and photo-laminated glass, laminated safety and design glass as well as a large switchable glass pane. The brand new Oltreluce collection of patterned glass, created by Italian designer Michele De Lucchi, will also be on display.


When God Disrupts Your Plans (at Disney World of all Places)!
Are you a "Planner", or do you like to "Fly by the seat of your pants"? I'm a total Planner. Thus, the inspiration for this blog.
I had extensively planned for about 8 months a Orlando Spring Break vacation for my daughter's senior trip. We had never been there as a family – so I read endless books, conducted extensive interviews and interrogations with those that had been past visitors, and combed the Internet for anything related to this magical place. This was going to be the greatest family trip we (or anyone else in history) had ever taken. This time, I was going to do everything right. No room for error. Pure joy. Every activity would be on a precise schedule – just like Robert Deniro's character in Meet the Parents.
The trip got off to a rough start when I noticed a sharp discomfort in my lower back around 5:30 am at DFW Airport. Thought it was a cramp, nerves, or some other nuance that would go away. We boarded the flight, and those uncomfortable airplane seats were even more uncomfortable. Three hours later, I was writhing in pain – I literally started crawling on the floor of the terminal at the Orlando airport. Was this "The Big One" like Fred Sanford used to say? Were one of my major organs giving out? Appendix bursting? We found a saint of a cab driver that sped us to a close and quality ER. About 5 hours later, I had passed my first kidney stone! Okay, this wasn't in the plans. However, the medical staff patched me up – and I was screaming in exhilaration as we rode The Everest Expedition Roller Coaster that evening. Slight "blip" in the plans, but we would hit the next few days with a vengeance. Universal Studios and Harry Potter World were tomorrow.
In spite of getting up at the crack of dawn, it seemed as though tens of thousands of other people had that same idea. As the lines allowed, we rode every ride we could between the two Universal Parks (some marketing genius out there conceived the idea of splitting up the Harry Potter World into two worlds – I would love to say it was for the benefit of the consumers, but it was so they can double their moolah intake). We were exhausted, but tomorrow was The Magic Kingdom – and I was determined to see my plans to fruition.
Our hotel was about 20 minutes away from The Magic Kingdom. They offered a "free shuttle" that left at 7 am and dropped everyone off at Epcot (which I was informed is the center hub for all Disney park transportation). Thought we'd save a few bucks and not use a taxi or Uber. Sounded perfect – The Kingdom opens at 8, leave at 7, arrive between 7:30-7:45, scan our tickets, and we would be in! Everyone had advised us to get there right as the park opens, and you can experience at least 3 major rides before the crowd hits. That advice combined with 3 Fastpasses – I envisioned myself joyfully singing, "Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a Pirate's Life for Me!" We had the potential of enjoying 6 major rides before the clock struck noon – boom!
The trend of the majority of my plans not going as I had hoped once again began to rear its ugly head. I first became suspicious when our "shuttle" was a giant charter bus. "Wow, that's nice of them to provide such a big bus for one hotel" I thought in my ever increasingly fatigued, naive, and delusional mind. Even though we are not Orlando residents, after about 10 minutes we noticed, "Hey, this isn't the route to the park." The bus, oh excuse me – the "shuttle" literally made 7 stops at other hotels before Epcot. The driver dropped us off around 8:15 am in an empty parking lot the size of the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz. It took about a 10 minute walk to get to the Monorail. Phew, finally made it. Oh, but wait – you have to get off this Monorail and transfer to another one. Stood in line for about 15 minutes. Rumors circulated throughout the tense crowd that there was a delay. We waited about 15 more minutes to get on a ferry headed for Disney World. 20 more minutes on the boat ride – and we finally arrived at the entrance around 9:15 am. We soon discovered that half of humanity had already beaten us to the ride (and food) lines – realizing it's not really such a Small World After All. As the day unfolded, I soon began to fully immerse myself into the spirit of the dwarf Grumpy – along with some of his lesser known brothers: Pushy, Pouty, and Rudey.
A few days after we returned home – I had some quality time to reflect. I then realized that one of the most important events of our trip was that crummy shuttle ride. That experience served as a great reminder of what it is like to walk with God. So many unplanned stops along the way that test my patience. Not having control over situations and just having to go with the flow. Disappointment. People getting on my nerves. Me getting on people's nerves. Unexpected barriers and delays that get in the way of me reaching my envisioned destination. Which leads to the question we can ask in every situation: Is my envisioned destination His envisioned destination?
Plus, I had so much to be thankful for. We were able to save up for the trip instead of charging everything. I could have been stuck in that ER for days, or possibly have had to have surgery, or it could have been "The Big One". The family had several spontaneous moments of belly busting laughter. A ticket snafu that "entitled" us to 3 anytime any ride Fastpasses at Disney Hollywood Studios. And finally, embracing every second of having lunch in Epcot Italy knowing that my daughter is only a few months away from going to college.

Sheldrake Point Winery was founded in 1997 by Chuck Tauck and Bob Madill. Located on the shores of Cayuga Lake, Sheldrake Point owns and operates a 155 acre farm and a vineyard of 44 acres planted to vinifera vines, and a winery producing 11,000 cases.
Grape Collective interviewed Bob Madill in May 2013.
Chrisotopher Barnes: So Bob, what got you interested in wine?
Bob Madill: I started becoming interested in wine when I was 21 years old and standing in front of a Quebec liquor store wondering why I was about to buy the bottle of wine that I had in my hand. I had no clue. From there on, I just started to really like wine, taste wine, study it, and eventually got into working in wine in Niagara, in Canada. From then on, I became interested in the Finger Lakes, so that in '96, when I first started coming to the Finger Lakes, I met up with a gentleman that became my partner, Greg Sandor, and in January '97, we purchased this farm, Sheldrake Point Vineyard Farm. Now, in 2013, we have 44 acres under vine, and can produce anywhere from about 6,500 to 10,000 cases.
Okay, great. When you bought this, was it just a farm, or was it growing grapes, or what was here when you came?
In 1996 and in '97, when we bought this place, it had been owned by Sy Diamond, a local farmer, and this was essentially an abandoned dairy farm. There were no grapes. Hosmer, of course, to the north of us was close, and so was Lucas, to the south, but in this area, there was no history of growing grapes in this little, wonderful pocket of farmland here at Sheldrake Point. What we did, is we asked people like Jimmy Hazlitt, who is a well-known grape grower over on Seneca lake, to come in and look at our property. From there on in, we tried to determine what varieties to plant. We were partly scientific, and partly just by the seat of our pants. Ended up planting five acres in '97, some Cabernet Franc, some Riesling, a little bit of Pinot and Gamay, with their advice, but really just because we thought good grapes could be grown here, and if good grapes could be grown, well, we could make good wine.
Tell us a little bit about the Finger Lakes. It's now famous for having some of the best Rieslings in the world, certainly in the United States. Why is that? What is it about the Finger Lakes that produces great Rieslings?
The Finger Lakes is really quite interesting, because it's a small region. There are 118 wineries here now, there were maybe half that number when we started in '97. The one thing to remember is that just to the north of us is Lake Ontario. Lake Ontario is a huge body of water that essentially shelters this region from the proverbial arctic cold from Canada, and then with the lakes, these long, glaciated, Finger Lakes, that are very narrow, but very, very deep and long. We have these micro-climates that provide the shelter and the sustenance in the terms of the climate, for vineyard to be planted on east and west facing slopes, going up north and south of these lakes.
The glaciated soils are such that they give rise to phenomenal capability in Riesling. Great fruit expression, great, slatey minerality, and unique regional identity, unique within North America. The reason we're having such success in the market, as a region, is the combined ability of the region to produce the grapes with that personality, which is marked on by the Wine Spectator, by Wine Enthusiast, by Wine and Spirits Magazine, and in a consistent fashion.
Fantastic. Tell me a little bit about the wines that you make.
At Sheldrake Point, we have about half of our property planted to red, and the other half to white. Of the red, the majority of that is Cabernet Franc, which we have in barrel 2012, and of course Riesling, our signature variety for Sheldrake Point, we're known for our selections of Rieslings. Our approach, generally speaking, on reds, is to have them in barrel for maybe nine months, ten months, not very long, just lightly oak them. These wines are aromatic, very attractive medium bodied wines. They're quite delicious with food, they're fresh, there's a lot of energy in Finger Lakes wines, whites and reds.
The Rieslings, we tend to make very simply, they make themselves. They're a variety that, essentially express the place that they're grown in. With Riesling, in particular, and Cab Franc to some extent, we're very cautious in doing any real manipulations of the wine. For example, that means our Reserve Riesling is made very naturally. If the wine doesn't want to be made by itself, we don't actually push it, and we don't make it every year. Dry Riesling, Riesling, we make virtually every year, and they tend to be fresh, mineral, sometimes a bit citrus, really quite delicious wines.
How many different wines do you make?
The portfolio is 16 or 17 right now, from the 12 varieties.
The idea of having worked in wine in Canada is quite interesting.
In Ontario, most of my work was in Niagara, the escarpment, and there we made a lot of some of the same varieties, for example, Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, and when I moved down here, one of the interesting aspects of planting this property brand new is we could select the varietals we wanted to plant. That included Gamay, which is very rare down here, Riesling, as you might expect, some Chardonnay. Chardonnay's one of the most popular varieties in the United States, for wine. So, we wanted to have some good Chardonnay here.
Can you describe for us the flavor profiles of your Rieslings?
Sheldrake Point has some very excellent soils. They're gravelly, loam soils over shale. That combination tends to give rise to very racy, medium bodied, fresh wines, they often have a citrus lime character, a bit of slate. When I presented these wines in Germany to German producers and explained our growing circumstances, they understand completely and identify with the sort of character in the wine, and the place that it's grown. I think what makes Sheldrake so special is this little micro-climate sticking out into the lake. We have a very protected area here, and we get this very definite expression in our Riesling, the dry Riesling in particular.
And what food pairings would you suggest for these wines?
Riesling, of course, is a very versatile wine. It's got very, characteristically clean, fresh, linear sorts of flavors. It's not a lot of hysteria in a glass. There is no oak, and this makes it very, very amenable. Riesling at Sheldrake Point is truly a property of where it's grown, and its circumstances. Here, we have gravelly, loam soil, which is relatively well drained, over shale. That shale, and the combination of soils gives rise to these lean, linear, fresh, Riesling wines have a lot of energy. Very, very versatile, because of the cleanliness, and the freshness, the lime citrus fruit, and it's very analogous to thinking of white mates, the things that you'd see in Alsace in Germany, really, in terms of cuisine, things on the plate, foods on the plate.
I particularly enjoy Riesling here with lighter meats, grilled meats, I make them at home, frankly, all the time. Pork, chicken, particularly. The recent spring has given rise to some wonderful, fresh, local asparagus. Local asparagus in a pasta with Riesling is just to die for, a little bit of soy sauce, little bit of ginger. You sort of bend it in an Asian direction, Chinese, it's just wonderful.
The Rieslings in Germany are very famous. Are there characteristics of the climate there that are similar to here?
One of the interesting opportunities we have in the region is to look at and understand how we might learn from other great Riesling growing regions. For example, in Germany, I'm very interested in the Grosses Gewächs. The Grosses Gewächs are classically dry wines, also medium bodied, well-structured wines. They're not on the fruity side, they tend to be on the mineral side. I think we have an opportunity here, particularly if we move our vineyard work in a more advanced stage in the region, to have a profile which is somewhat similar. Those wines are well-known for being very broad in their appeal to consumers and to true aficionados, and match with a great, wide-ranging cuisine.
What about your personal tastes in wine, other than your own wines, are there other wines that you enjoy?
My own taste is to enjoy Finger Lakes wines in general, but I have a particular interest in the world of Riesling, and most particularly from Austria, from Germany. It's more similar to our way of making wines, and our climate. They tend to be wavier wines, they're not as sweet, they're drier. In red wines, I love Cabernet Franc. I just came back from seven days in the Loire where I was touring with a group of winemakers. Some fantastic Cabernet Francs. I think with another decade of work here, we can replicate some of what they've been doing there.
Okay, great. Is there something that you're striving for philosophically with your wine?
There are a number of areas where we're very hands off. I think, for example, our Reserve Riesling. It's a wine we only make when it's non-interventionist. Essentially, the wine is a product of the place, of the grapes, and we really do very little, other than add yeast and some yeast nutrient to the wine. Let it ferment, and where it stops, it stops. We don't interfere with it. We don't have any additions, there's no acidification, de-acidification, and I think the idea there is simply to have a translation of the grape from the ground to the glass.


The primary objective of this book is to teach the architectures, design principles, and troubleshooting techniques of a LAN. This will be imparted through the presentation of a broad scope of data and computer communication standards, real-world inter-networking techniques, architectures, hardware, software, protocols, technologies and services as they relate to the design, implementation and troubleshooting of a LAN. The logical and physical design of hardware and software is not the only process involved in the design and implementation of a LAN. The latter also encompasses many other aspects including making the business case, compiling the requirements, choosing the technology, planning for capacity, selecting the vendor, and weighing all the issues before the actual design begins.

When building your B2B marketing plan, one of the biggest and most important elements is incorporating content into that plan. For years people have often been using the terms "Content is King" or "The year of content." This hasn't changed. In fact, marketing today has made it more and more easy to find a large collection of content through various marketing means. You can access Pinterest now for visual imagery and even top statistics in visual layouts. Places like Facebook and Corporate Blogs post eBooks and whitepapers that speak directly to your needs. And let's not forget the ability to re-tweet, share, and post valuable content that you find on other sites. So where do you go when you are starting to build your own B2B content library. And more importantly, how can you assure YOUR content will make an impact.
First, it is important to understand who you are speaking to and what they would like to read. You can create 5,000 pieces of content but if they don't speak to your target consumer and provide relevant information to them, you will be wasting your time. For example, I could easily write a blog about ice cream, and all the different flavors that I love. In fact, I would be thrilled to hold my own "ice cream taste test" daily and tell you all about how much more delicious Ben & Jerry's newest Greek yogurt tastes as compared to their frozen yogurt. But that isn't why you're here. Aside from the extra pounds and delicious evening snacks, I would be gaining nothing from sharing that information with you. That is why it is important that you build your content strategy around your target persons and what speaks to them and their business. Build great content and in turn generate more leads. It's as easy as that!
What do we know? Are we subject matter experts in any areas that our target consumers are interested in? If so, what can we tell them that will help them be more successful at their job?
What can we give? No, I don't mean a product or a giveaway. This is more in line with what kind of B2B expertise can we give away. Examples may include a consultation, an education seminar or webinar, how-to checklists, worksheets, etc.
What can we share? Do we have partnerships, blogs that we follow, or additional content outside of our own library that will resonate with our audience? What can we share with them that will continue to further their knowledge and education?
Who are we and what are we saying? If you find the content you are putting together is boring or dry, chances are your audience will feel the same way. Be sure to instill humor in your message. When writing blogs, include a personality. Even if you don't agree with my love for ice cream, you know a little more about me as a person and not just as a marketer. Have fun with the boring stuff, it will make it (and you) more interesting.
What resources can we access for spicing it up? Great content is always better showcased when it is crisp and easy to view. Even if you don't have a design department, you can still create excellent marketing content that is both sharp and dynamic. There are plenty of great no-cost resources out there that will help you jump start your efforts. For example, infogr.am is a company that offers free infographic templates. All you do is plug in your content and BOOM! You have yourself a great looking piece of content to go to market with.
Once you answer these questions, you are well on your way to developing content that will speak to your audience through your core strengths.

On a trip to Indonesia, Bart got so inspired by their gastronomy and local dishes, he decided to take you with him by making this seafood Mie Goreng with delicious scallops and shrimp!
Cook the noodles al dente. Once the noodles are ready, cool it down under cold running water.
Put a pan on medium high heat and add a bit of oil, the garlic cloves and the shallot. Let this simmer.
Add the leek, carrot and spring onion and fry this shortly. Add the scallops and bean sprouts and let this simmer.
Beat an egg and put all the vegetables to one side of the pan. Add a bit of oil and add the egg. Mix the egg with the vegetables.
Add the shrimps and let this simmer for a while. Afterwards, add the noodles to the pan.
Season it up with the fish sauce, salty and sweet soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper. Serve the seafood mie goreng immediately. Enjoy!


This time of year is always so colourful. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
I'm contemplating what to do whilst I decide Whether to be blackmailed into going Pro at Flickr. Meanwhile I've decided to upload more photos here even though I'm still not completley happy with this website.
This is another manual focus lens tha doesn't get particularly good reviews. I like it though, when you hit that sweet spot I think it gives cracking results. There's no A setting so aperture settings listed here are just those I recall.
Enough of the settings, just enjoy!
Just checking my manual focusing abilities.
Had to have alittle go with some street snapping.
I have many old lenses I've picked up over the years, occasionally I take one out, usually attached to my Pentax K5-iis. Today I took the above lens out. Looking online it doesn't have a great reputation. It's prone to CA but otherwise I found it a fun lens. Judge for yourself from the photos below. Where I've remembered the f setting I used I've added it in the title.
Mr A Surpised me with a gift - a secondhand Panasonic G3. These are some test shots from its first outing.
How did it happen? How did it come to take so many pictures of people on one particular bench, and then to take so many pictures of people on other benches? Like all good things it happened by accident.
My previous website died! How? Well I thought I would give WordPress another go, so I installed it thinking I could work on it behind the scenes. That would have worked had I put it on its own folder. I didn't and it immediately hid my original website built with Koken, behind the scenes.
