Food banks and how data analytics is optimising the food supply chain, locally and internationally
Against the cost-of-living crisis, rising energy and food costs, demand for emergency food at UK food banks is forecast to substantially increase this winter and into 2023. A record 320,000 people have needed help from Trussell Trust food banks over the last six months; a total of 2.1 million food parcels were given out during April 2021/2022, far more than ever before.[1]
'Food insecurity' leaves many people reliant on emergency parcels from food banks. It exists because people do not have enough money and/ or have limited ability to acquire nutritionally adequate and safe foods. Unsteady incomes, unexpected expense or a rise in expenses, low income, benefit delays all drive people to need emergency provisions.
Source - Trussell Trust - Together for Change-Summary
A total of 9.7 million adults experienced 'food insecurity' in September 2022, according to the Food Foundation, with a steep rise in the proportion 'not eating for a whole day' (up to 6%, twice as many since the start of lockdown).

The Trussell Trust[2]/FareShare[3] are the main UK organisations/charities fighting hunger and food waste: The Trussell Trust supports a network of food banks, while FareShare redistributes fresh surplus food, together with long life products donated at food banks/ collection points.
Retailers, and manufacturers have been supporting food banks and food surplus redistribution for some time. In early November, Tesco launched their popup 'reverse supermarket' in London: The 'Give Back Express' helps raise awareness around the work Trussell Trust and FareShare do across the UK and shows shoppers how they can support with vital donations"[4]. Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, as an example, all now have options for customers to donate to the Trussell Trust at self-service or online checkouts, by rounding up their bills, or donating loyalty vouchers. Several retailers are doing different things in their cafes. For example, Asda are offering £1 kid's meals, and unlimited teas and coffees for over 60's. Morrison's have been giving away free jacket potato and beans meals in association with Heinz to anyone using the code word Henry (#AskHenry).
Some retailers (Aldi, Asda, Booker, Co-op, Lidl, M&S, Morrisons, PRET, Sainsburys, Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado, Gousto, Bidfood) all authorise their own-label products to be sent to FareShare for onward charity redistribution. McCains and Greencore have been supporting charities and community groups within the FareShare network by donating/ redistributing food surplus for over a decade. Deliveroo[5] has launched its mobile food collection service, called Collecteroo, in partnership with The Trussell Trust which will collect unopened and in-date food from 12-17 December in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff and deliver them to food banks in the Trussell Trust's nationwide network.
There are many more examples abound of the enormous and concerted effort made in the UK, but food banks are not, and were never intended to be, a permanent solution to food poverty. While the Trussell Trust's vision is for a "UK without the need for food banks", the Zero Hunger Lab at Tilburg University, Netherlands, have a goal to use data science to contribute to realising global food security, i.e., to help realise one of the United Nations (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals, one of which is number 2: Zero Hunger. This is done by advising aid organizations, companies, and government institutions through mathematics and smart algorithms which they call "bytes for bites"[6].
World hunger is an enormous problem: the UN estimates more than 800 million people regularly go hungry. Every 10 seconds a child dies somewhere in the world from starvation or malnutrition. [7]
Since 2011, Professor Hein Fleuren and his PhD students from Tilburg University have been helping the World Food Programme (UN) optimise their supply chain and food basket in crisis situations using mathematics and data analytics. This intensive cooperation led to "Optimus", an innovative solution that is now helping countries like Yemen, Syria, and South Sudan feed worldwide more than 2 million people extra with the same aid budget. "Instead of approaching the supply chain step by step (package composition, purchasing, shipping, and distribution), all variables come together in the model. Thus, the purchase price is included in the composition of the food basket, and the location of purchase and the method of distribution (in a camp, via the local market?) also play a role".
Today, Zero Hunger Lab has more than 20 researchers collaborating on more than 40 research projects with numerous partners, including World Bank, Oxfam, World Food Programme, World Vision, and INSEAD Humanitarian Research Group. Their work has taken them to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as in the Netherlands, where more than 150,000 people depend on food banks. The research guides volunteer organisations to identify smart investments to help even more people successfully access food in an equitable way. Estimations are that with the proposed investments (in cooling, in transport, in surface and buildings) approximately 25% more people can be helped.
Looking ahead, Zero Hunger Lab believes our food systems must fundamentally adapt over the next decade to better help people hit by war or natural disaster. An even longer-term goal is to have the capacity to provide more than 10 billion people three healthy meals a day by 2050, within earth's limitations.
The analytics are positive that this goal is possible, but it also requires consumers and producers to play their part: spoiling less food (at the moment nearly 1/3 of the food worldwide is wasted [8]); eating less meat and fish and in general: eating less.
Here at Shoppercentric, we will continue to monitor local and international efforts that involve innovative solutions to optimise the food supply chain.

By nsadler / August 18, 2015.
With over 50% of the firewood bought online imported from Eastern Europe, Herefordshire-based family business www.certainlywood.co.uk who sell sustainable British firewood and kindling, are campaigning to encourage people to buy British logs. The company is concerned people are unaware they are buying imported logs, especially when they buy online.
"As pioneers of the kiln-drying firewood in the UK process nearly ten years ago, we are confident of providing a consistently high-quality product dried to below a 20% moisture content, ensuring our logs burn longer, hotter and cleaner ".
The kiln drying process also substantially reduces the smoke, debris and tar produced by logs when alight. These are recognised as the biggest cause of chimney fires in the UK and logs bought from an Eastern European source are potentially likely to produce more side effects of burn off.
What's more, Certainly Wood selects its logs from sustainably managed, British woodland. In other words, the trees used are removed to ensure the ongoing health of the forest or woodland. Again, this is something that cannot be guaranteed when buying wood from abroad.
As part of its campaign to Buy British, Certainly Wood has become one of the first kiln dried firewood companies to receive accreditation from Grown In Britain, an organisation dedicated to promoting British timber and a greater understanding of the importance of sustainable woodland management.
Other Grown in Britain supporters include the likes of DEFRA, M & S and The Wildlife Trusts. The Forestry Commission and The Crown Estate are GiB licensed together with nearly 10% of UK forests. Certainly Wood will now be able to use the striking Union Jack-themed logo across its product range to underline its Buy British message.

It's so neat that you're doing all of these- we should be doing them for YOU, for your birthday!


I've noticed there's no real thread for this plane and there's questions scattered all over the forum, so I thought it would be a better idea just to have this thread for all questions, answers and discussion. Enjoy!
Well just got mine going again. Put her in on the nose a week or so back. Atlanta Hobby sent me a new motor box and cowl. Horizon Hobby sent me a new 480 motor ( greatest CS anywhere). Did not ask questions much just sent a new replacement motor.
Have flown it a couple different times and a couple times each visit. So i guess about 4 flights since fixing it. The new Cowl was a little tighter fit over the hatch than original but works. And everything else went fine.
This plane is so easy that you can't help just flying it lower and lower. I have drug the back wheel off once also. You can spot land this thing if any wind at all. It hovers so easy it makes you look good even though i am not lol.
Then if you want you can just fly it normal and have a great time also.
It just gives you so much confidence that within a few min. your low and slow lol.
Anyone that has not seen one actually in person would not believe the hype.
It may be exageratted just a tad but not much. The only thing is you are probabaly going to crash the little thing just because you will try stuff you would not try for a yr. with a bigger heavier plane. The Funtana X, and ones such as the Funtana do not measure up at all against this little green monster.
I have tried doing the things with other small elec's and they just are so much harder to do that with them I can't do some of the things i can with the Addiction.
The Eratix is close for the size and all also just a great 3D plane especially for the size. Big wings light wing loading my type plane.
lower. And i will put it back into the ground again I know it.
A little pricey for such a small plane though. And i did not care much for some of the build process.
Does anyone have photos of installation of a Dualsky XM3536CA-8. Have the model and am unsure of how to mount the motor correctly. Any help wou;d be much appreciated.
Dustybottles, same issue with the Park 480. Make template of the mount and cut out a sheet of Ply, glue that to the front of the mount and drill holes in that to suit your motor. I chopped down my X mount from my 480 and used that.
My Addiction was in a not so happy state before, but it is fixed now, ready to cover. Had a nasty crash, I had completely refabricate the wing tips, outer ribs and fuse just behind the wing.
Luckily, it should fly again within a couple of weeks.
Great, Thanks for the good advice Maiden. I have heard that the holes can also be enalrged and people have fitted the motor with only two screws as well. Will let you know which I decide on!
No probs bud. Clovus, I would but my broadband downloads have been used up, so Im at dial up speed. I'll post the pics of the final product once its covered. Not much to see, its identical as it was in the first place.
Mounting the motor on this thing should not be such a hassel if you ask me. Precision needs to take a good look at the mount and do something to make it more user friendly. I don't know what the difference in the Thrust 20 and the Park 480 is but if it mounts the same and they already know the holes are to big then why would they not do something to correct it. I made a plate to go over the front out of flashing material. It is real thin and light almost to thin. Then having to reverse the shaft is also a job for someone that has never done that before. Me of course had not. Then when you get that done and ready to mount the motor the holes are to big. The manuel says use washers but constantly talks about weight. Catch 22 lol. But when you finally get it mounted and the plane ready it flys very good.
Maiden those wing tips are pretty flimsy to begin with i cracked one also. Used a sceringe with CA in it and got it glued without having to remove covering. Then i put clear packing tape over them to try to stiffen them some it seems to be stiffer that way. Man if you do have a not so pretty landing with the Addiction it is so light and flimsy that something seems to break when you would thing nothing would. But still is a great 3Der. I just can't resist doing things i am not thumb smart enough to do yet lol.
Dusty you can enlarge these pics and see the flashing I used to mount the motor. I traced the mount that came with motor to get the motor mount holes then cut it down and drilled the hole for the motor shaft. Hope this might help atleast give you something to look at anyway.
Kid chuckles, certainly agree with you its built very light, but it is more durable than most others, I guess they've taken their time to design this. The wing tips are a joke, though, so many lightening holes in such a crash prone area... The one I made just had the three big holes, I left the first corner part completely solid. Weight gain would probably be a few grams at most.
I'd agree completely with the mounting issue. There are a lot of holes in the motor box, which just don't seem to line up with the Dualsky etc, and will only align correctly with other the PA electric motor.
It would be nice to see a standard across the industry in mounting hole dimensions (similar to 4 holes- Vesa for Plasma mounts) If one exists I am not aware of this.
This would make motor fitment compatibility issues non existent, and far easier when selecting a motor for a mount. I have contacted PA regarding these issues. (see copy of email below) It will be interesting to see their response!
Following the purchase of a PA addiction, I was rather confused and dismayed by the amount of non compatible mounting holes that were present on the motor mount box. I was recommended a Dualsky motor for fitment by one of your distributors of the addiction. The Dualsky motor does not however fit the standard motor mount holes. It also advises in the instruction manual against drilling holes in the motor box. I am somewhat confused how I am expected to mount this motor without enlarging the holes? I will be in touch with the supplier to see what their suggestion is.
In the meantime I would like to make a suggestion regarding motor mounting boxes, and electric motors-When will the industry set a standard for motor manufacturers and Motor mounts in general?
IE . A M10 mount fits an M10 motor. The Plasma industry have already set up a standard regarding this same issue (same 4 holes- just a little larger) and have successfully eliminated the compatibility issues that are associated with mounts and screens. There is no reason the same principal cannot work for electric motors and mounts benefitting the industry and consumers."
WTG DustyB, They might start to look at this. The way it is built I am afraid to do much to it. Afraid i will break something important lol. My 480 holes lined up with the bigger holes almost just a hair off. (red) lol. But it did fit just one screw a little angle on it. But took me two days of pondering to figure out what to use besides washers. If i used the washer theory then the would hit the shaft. To cover the enitire hole the washer needed it to big lol. If that is the way they want it mounted then they need to send the mounting washers they would use with the ARF.
Good idea you have to stiffen wing tips. They will bend some just by themselves. Not very strong in a place that needs reinforcing. If your not perfect landing the wing tips are the first thing to touch and the need to be stronger. Great 3D plane but not for somone that is not practiced at it lol. The low 3d stuff anyway. I can do it all 50ft. up lol.
"the motor mount fit Thrust motor, Torque motor, Hacker motor and Hyperion motor as well as a few other less known brands.
please consider getting a Thrust 20 you will be very happy with it"
Maybe a Thrust 20 is the easiest solution after all!
Looks good Maiden. Dusty I am pretty sure the 480 is not a below standard motor or thought so. I have had a 480 go bad after a very small crash that did not even break the prop. And now have a 25 gone bad same thing but did brake prop just a very light crash should not have affected the motors on either crash. Both were from less than 16". Was trying harrier landings on both and did not have any air speed they both touched down on landing gear and both times from same type small bump motors locked up. I landed on the nose did brake prop but did not even crack the cowling of my Eratix, same on the addiction but it landed rolled a foot and nosed over. Have another 480 that has been is a couple pretty good smack downs lol. It seems to still work fine maybe just had them hit just wrong.
Maide I like the color.
Does anybody know where to get a replacement wing? A left side green one to be exact.
this plane is soooo fun. To much fun today! Hence needing a new wing!
You can get all parts directly from www.precisionaerobatics.com.au.
Kid chuckles, I had to shorten the tube by about 10mm, mine was too long too. Regarding motors, the 480 is not below staandard, but it is no longer above it. Its an average motor, with average power and efficiency for its weight. But, its not being priced average. You can get much better motors for the price.
Thanks Maiden I have to replace my 25 size now I will look at other options though. Bolt pattern is what concerns me if the all have the same bolt pattern for mounting no problem but i don't know enough about other type motors. I have only used the Park 400-25 in planes I forgot i had a 400 burn up also. I think i had it over proped though. Getting the right size to replace it is another thing I wish all motor company's used the same # and just went by brand name. The ones that are 35-293-394 and so on throw's me off lol. Need to be 1- 100 or something that way you would know a 3lb. plane uses a # 5 and then you could decide on brand by price or quality or whatever. Seems easier that way to me. What would a park 25 be in other brands?
Take a look at the scorpion brand. You can get much lighter motors that blow your 25 out of the water. If you decide on them, let me know how it goes, I've never actually tried Scorpion.
Who carries Scorpion motors. My last Dirt Track car was a Scorpion Chassis lol.
These guys, [link=http://www.neoplanes.com]NeoPlanes[/link], carry Scorpion motors and are great to deal with.
I have a Scorpion 2215-18 that I got from them on a Charger-RC CR-1 (15 oz. shock flyer) and it goes straight up like a rocket.
Well bought new 25 and was unplugging old motor when i pulled wires apart my esc extensinon i had made that i had checked to make sure was plugged in one of the wires came with it. I had them taped but had came loose inside the tape and was hidden. Plugged the wire back up and presto chango my motor was fine. Glad it came loose when it did. Got my money back lol. Flew my Addiction for a little while don't have but two batteries so about 16-20 min. But man it was fun. A slight 5mph wind was perfect for hovering. I flew it very close and slow to the ground. I know better but I end up doing it anyway. It just sat in a hover for a long time. The wind was just right a would hold it there without much input from me at all. I hit right on on the throttle i guess.
I'm not sure what we have in stock right now... as I am on vacation, but Greg should be able to get back to you.
PLEASE be patient this week as everyone was at the Toledo show and it may take a couple days to get through the emails..
tell greg that Curtis sent ya.... He'll kick my arse when I get back!!
as to the motor issue..just out of curiousty who recommended the Dualsky?
Did you contact that folks that sold you the motor directly??
Would be great if Precision would post some pics of exactly how they mount there motors and with what hardware. There ads are great but this would help us novice building ARF put togethereeres out. I would love to see how they do it and what it looks like when they have it mounted as they suggest. They say in the manuel to use washers but don't say what size. Alot to be desired when building this plane almost like a Nitro Modes when it comes to putting this thing together. Using string and shrink wrap for servo rod adjustabilaty and if your off 1/32 then your off and you can not adjust it. This to me needs some looking into. That is how Nitro does some of there servo rods but with theres there is still some adjustability. Something Atlanta Hobby might discuss with Precision and see if somethings can be done just a little differently to make it more builder friendly. They say best 3D plane ever and it might just be if these things were adressed. But until they do it is not. Not only does it need to fly well but also be user friendly and man it is not user friendly. Or the build process isn't IMO. But still a very good 3D machine once you make the right stuff it needs to be able to fly it.
I used a HACKER A30-28S and the mounting holes were perfect....the coolling holes even lined up! Now just waiting on some better weather to maiden.

Board member bios. Why so dry?
When I wrote my book on B2B copywriting, I devoted a section to writing for websites.
Content for websites, said I, should be in line with the tone of voice determined by the company. In many cases that means professional, approachable and easy to consume.
What's the point of a board bio?
That said, I've been putting more thought into the challenge of executive bios in the last couple of weeks, thanks to a recent project.
This was a commission to lightly edit and proofread a brochure containing over 30 biographies of board-level luminaries. People with a great deal of professional history.
Most of the bios were an A4 page full of lists of appointments held and their dates, punctuated by the odd paragraph break. Certainly clear proof of long-term experience but incredibly difficult to take in. I can't see anyone doing more than a skim read for relevant company names.
Since handing back the copy, I've taken another look at the advice out there on writing professional bios. The vibe I'm getting is that when you write about yourself for your own website or even a CV, you write with clarity, brevity and maybe a little humour. Hubspot has an interesting piece about some of the professional bios it likes.
What I didn't find was anything that said the drier the bio, the more respect it will gain.
Do we need to make a change?
If the purpose is simply to prove the company can call on people who understand how many large and small organisations work, and have built up a valuable contact list over the years, then maybe the impenetrable lists are fine.
But if the company is promoting itself as approachable and transparent, then the board's bios could be sending out all the wrong messages. In particular that the people at the top level don't subscribe to the ethos of the company.
Should we be trying to generate a change here? It surely makes sense that every page of copy to speak in the same language and tell a consistent story? Or is it too big a mountain to climb for the benefit it would deliver?
When you ask me to edit or proofread, what exactly do you mean?
How do you say 'I'm sorry but your book is dire'?


Could this tool deliver sustainability success?
What we need, says Porter, is to reconceive how we do business, so as to create a positive benefit for society, _at the same time_as we create economic value. Shared Value, as he calls this approach, has since gained traction: dozens of firms have engaged on the way.

Steve McQueen and motorcycles are like the PB&J of classic movies: they're the perfect pairing. Not only is McQueen notorious for his action-packed movies, he's also a full-on gearhead. He made movies with awesome car and bikes and rode 'em like he stole 'em. One of his most iconic motorcycles is now up for auction and predictions are it won't go for cheap.
Documentary "On Any Sunday" is a love letter to motorcycle racing. Produced by Bruce Brown and McQueen himself, the movie was meant to paint a picture of the different types of riders and the skills they required to compete in the different motorsport disciplines. The movie went on to win an Oscar in 1972 for Best documentary feature. It is now considered one of the most important motorcycle documentaries ever produced.

The Lahore Marathon: a day of mixed success
It was 'Run Lahore Run' day and I had run out of run. I was walking to complete the 5km 'Fun Race'. With me was a motley collection of retired army officers, schoolboys in tight jeans and open slippers and other slim but struggling young men, also getting a reality check about their fitness levels.
As I approached the finish line, I heard young men cheering in the distance behind me. I could guess the cause – my friend Jacqueline Fellner, who had been training to keep fit, was leading the mixed family race. She was accompanied by cheering young men who had started in the men's race and still hadn't finished (like myself). Jacqueline was running to a tide of applause from the mostly uniformed schoolboy spectators.
Within twenty minutes, the rest of our crew, family and friends, had joined us at the finish line and we were a beaming team. Marathon day appeared to have been a great success. We had come as much to see a political spectacle, register our support for 'Enlightened moderation' and uphold our criticism of segregation (I was armed with a pen and a notepad) as we, along with over 20,000 others, had come to challenge ourselves athletically and enjoy a sunny Sunday afternoon.
We had seen no signs of the bearded-ones, let alone scenes of violence and we were pleasantly surprised to find that our crew wouldn't have to be segregated. There was no mischief or teasing from Lahore's male quarters, and the real icing on the cake was the organisers' thoughtful accommodation of wheelchair-users who participated in the festivities. (Unfortunately, later news reports told us that the police had damaged and injured some of the wheelchair participants from Sindh.) "Thank you, organisers," I thought, "you've put on an event that Lahore should be proud of." As both the domestic and international contingent in our crew left the Liberty Roundabout, we were all quite content.
The day before the marathon took place, I attended a lunch for international runners hosted by Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and the Chief Minister's Task Force on Lahore – a team of Lahore's distinguished culture vultures. Mention was made of raising funds for the President's earthquake relief fund – for which surplus funds raised were going towards – but the buzz word seemed to be 'mixed'. Ghouse Akbar, Chairman of the Chief Minister's Task Force on Lahore, welcomed us to a 'mixed' dinner. Meanwhile, organisers sarcastically joked amongst themselves: "Oh no! I'm standing in a mixed queue for a mixed lunch! Somebody shoot me!"
I talked to some of the international athletes in order to find out what they thought of segregating the 5km race. Ashu Kassim, a Muslim Ethiopian, said that "religion doesn't stop men and women from running together." She added that, "If Pakistani women participate in such events, they will become famous the world over, especially when they win in other countries. That will help the image of their country." Referring to the MMA's statements about marathons promoting "obscenity and nudity," Karachi's FM89 breakfast voice, Sohail Hashmi said, "We shouldn't be covering ourselves up, we should be cleaning our minds."
Perhaps in other parts of the world, Chief Minister Elahi's speech – which referred to Lahore as Pakistan's richest city in terms of culture and a city of sports, its Sufi tradition that promotes love, and dialogue being the path forward – would have been regarded as over-the-top political rhetoric that bore no relevance to a marathon. Not so in Pakistan. In other parts of the world, marathons are an excuse for a family day out and an acid test for true healthniks. In Pakistan, however, the word has sparked violence and debate (not all of it intelligible) about the priorities of activists, what Islam allows, civil liberties, women's rights and the government's commitment to enlightened moderation. Set in this context, Elahi uttered fighting words and the day of the marathon was to be a showcase of the government of the Punjab's commitment to enlightened moderation.
Keeping in mind the leaders of Pakistan's civil society who, in 2005, criticised the government for its lack of commitment to protect civil liberties, I approached Hina Jilani, (HRCP vice-chairperson, Punjab). Did she view the 2006 marathon as a victory for civil liberties? "It's not a victory for anyone because the government is unpredictable," said Ms Jilani. "Victory comes when governments make public announcements and then have a record that shows their commitment to their statements. What are they showing civil society when civil society organises peaceful collective action and the security forces beat them up?" asked Jilani, referring to the 14 May, 2005, police brutalisation and arrest of peaceful 'mixed marathon-running' demonstrators – an event organised by the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), following a government decision to hold separate races for men and women, a Punjab government ban on public rallies and the release of MMA activists who were arrested for attacking police and civilians at the 3 April, 2005 Gujranwala mini-marathon. "The fact that they held a mixed marathon this year shows that we were right and that they were wrong for stopping women from running in May. How do they expect to protect a nation when they are flip-flopping on this issue? They are only confusing the nation."
Clearly, any Chief Minister trying to juggle an ideology of "enlightened moderation" with an active right-wing lobby has their hands full. But with district governments not having the muscle to muster a formidable force of 5,000 police personnel (such as that deployed in Lahore on 29 Jan, 2006, the day of the marathon), and with civil society not knowing whether the police will protect or attack them, it seems as though the only marathon that a citizen in the Punjab can confidently participate in is one in which the Chief Minister and Task Force have a direct hand.

Microsoft may Resurrect Series "Heroes"
April 18, 2013 by masterbedgood	in Comics, News Snippets, Television, Xbox and tagged Heroes, Heroes on Xbox, Microsoft, Microsoft Heroes, Microsoft Television, New Heroes Episodes, XBOX, Xbox 360, Xbox Television
Despite reception of the superhero show Heroes having a steady decline following its first season all the way to its end, rumors are circulating that Microsoft may bring the show back in a new iteration as an Xbox exclusive series. This new vision of Heroes will feature new characters with the original cast being confined to cameos.
While it's been no secret that Microsoft has been interested in creating Xbox-specific programming, one has to wonder if pursuing Heroes is really wise. Having an existing brand can be good marketing when it's a big name, but the IP lost its following and now isn't very highly regarded. Right now this is all just speculation, but maybe Microsoft can restore the show to its former glory with a new cast of heroes and accompanying story arc.

Tayson Pierce Wines
Champagne Éric Philippe
Meet this iconic father-son duo
Eric J. Rothchild
Eric Jon Rothchild was introduced to the art of winemaking by his grandfather, Nathan Rothchild during the 1960's. Eric started collecting wines in his late teens, and kept journals of his tasting while attending college. His passion for wine evolved while in medical school. He then attended numerous professional wine tastings and traveled to Europe for further exposure and knowledge to the wine industry. Eric elevated his knowledge of winemaking by enrolling in a 2 year Program in Winemaking at the University of California, Davis. He completed this program and graduated with a Certificate Degree in Winemaking and Viticulture.
Eric has traveled to meet with winemakers from many prestigious chateaus, wineries and vineyards through out France, Italy and Spain. This exposure has fostered his strong interest to create a fine wine that would rival those that have been made from the great European houses. Eric's understanding of the intricacies of enology now allow him to create a fine wine worthy of drinking today as well as one to cellar for many years.
The Rothchild family has now established a presence in Rutherford, California, the heart of the Napa Valley wine country. They wish to offer the highest quality Napa Valley wine for others to enjoy from the family's experience.
Taylor J. Rothchild
For the last decade Taylor and his father Eric have together produced several vintages continuing the legacy. Taylor was exposed to the winemaking business from an early age. In his teens, he worked for the prestigious Inglenook Winery (formerly Rubicon Estate) owned by Film Director, Francis Ford Coppola. Taylor discovered the various nuances of operating a winery from simultaneously working across multiple departments within the chateau.
Taylor has traveled the world learning about wines from countries such as France, Italy, Greece, Croatia, and many others. After finishing his JD/MBA program and pursuing a career in private equity & venture capital, Taylor took on a more active role in the business, focusing on scaling the winery and expanding the portfolio of wines offered. Taylor crafted and introduced the winery's first Rosé wine (Rothchild Rosé) as well as a new line of Champagnes produced in France exclusively for Tayson Pierce called Champagne Eric Philippe.
Eric's three sons, Taylor, Pierce and Grayson have been exposed to the wine industry most of their lives. They were formally introduced to fine wines and taught the nuances of winemaking by their father, Eric Jon Rothchild. Taylor, Pierce Grayson have all worked during the summers in Napa Valley since their teens.
Behind the Winery Name
The wine label, Tayson Pierce originates from the combined names of Eric and Susan's three children Taylor, Grayson and Pierce. This signifies the combined efforts of the Rothchild family to create a very special vintage. In following with our family tradition, we hope that the future generations of Rothchilds will continue to pursue excellence in artisan wine creation.

Francisco Antonio de Aldana y Guevara (Ciudad de México, Virreinato de Nueva España c. 1720s - Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción c. 1790s) fue un capitán que se desempeñó como teniente de alcalde mayor de la provincia de Zimapan, corregidor de Quezaltenango (de 1764 a 1770), y alcalde mayor interino de San Salvador (de 1773 a 1775).

Biografía

Francisco Antonio de Aldana y Guevara nació en la Ciudad de México por la década de 1720s; siendo hijo de Agustín de Aldana Villanueva Campo, y de María Rosa Fernández de Guevara. Se dedicaría a la carrera de las armas, alcanzando el rango de capitán, y serviría como teniente de alcalde mayor de la provincia de Zimapan, durante la administración de Martín de Andreu, a principios y mediados de la década de 1740s; donde se enfrentaría a los indígenas chichimecas jonaces, y a una sublevación en el año 1745.

Sería por dos años procurador de Zimapan, y sería nombrado por el virrey de Nueva España como oficial real y regidor. Posteriormente, estudiaría filosofía y sagrados cánones en el colegio de San Idelfonso, recibiendo los grados de bachiller de ambas facultades. Viajaría  España, donde en 1753 presentaría una relación de méritos ante el Consejo de Indias.

A principios de 1763 sería designado como corregidor de Quezaltenango, por lo que el 23 de abril de ese año se embarcó hacia el continente americano; tomando posesión en el mes de junio de 1764. Durante su mandato, se prohibió la fabricación y consumo del aguardiente (en cumplimiento del decreto real de 1767), y se intentó reformar las milicias de esa jurisdicción; además, tuvo que impartir las medidas necesarias para el socorro y restauración de las poblaciones de ese territorio, luego de la destrucción ocasionada por una serie de temblores el 24 de octubre de 1765.

Ejercería el cargo de corregidor hasta el año de 1770, luego de lo cual se asentaría en Santiago de Guatemala. El 16 de abril de 1773, el presidente-gobernador y capitán general de Guatemala Juan González Bustillo y Villaseñor lo designó como alcalde mayor de San Salvador; para ocuparlo de manera interina debido al fallecimiento del propietario Bernabé de la Torre Trasierra y a la renuncia de Rafael de Benavides; dicho nombramiento sería aprobado por el rey Carlos III; siendo juramentado el 5 de mayo, y tomando posesión en los primeros días del mes de junio.

Durante su gobierno como alcalde mayor, envió ayuda a los pobladores de Santiago de Guatemala, ya que esa ciudad había sido destruido por un terremoto (que fue la razón de su traslado al valle de la Ermita, donde se levantaría la Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción; siendo Aldana el último alcalde mayor de San Salvador nombrado en la ciudad de Santiago); asimismo, envió una carta al rey donde presentaba la idea de dividir el territorio de esa jurisdicción en 5 o por lo menos 2 partidos, para mejorar su administración (lo cual al final no se llevó a cabo). Desempeñaría ese puesto hasta el año de 1774, luego de lo cual se dirigiría a residir a la Nueva Guatemala, donde fallecería por la década de 1790s.

Apple announces the 7.9-inch iPad mini for $329, shipping November 2nd
New, 1060 comments
Apple fills the 'little' gap in its portfolio between the iPhone and iPad

Share All sharing options for: Apple announces the 7.9-inch iPad mini for $329, shipping November 2nd
The iPad mini has just been revealed by Apple at a special event in San Jose. Up on stage, Phil Schiller explains that this "isn't just a shrunken-down iPad, it's an entirely new design." The 7.9-inch iPad mini has a 1024 x 768 resolution, like the earlier-generation 9.7-inch iPad models, but is encased in an all-new 7.2mm-thick aluminum shell, which makes it 53 percent lighter and 23 percent thinner than the 4th-gen iPad.
Comparing the iPad mini against the Nexus 7, Phil points out that Apple's tablet is lighter and thinner than Google's slate in spite of having a display area that's a third larger. The Nexus 7 also has a bigger, plastic bezel around its screen whereas the iPad mini's bezel is made out of aluminum.
"It is every inch an iPad."
The iPad mini comes with a dual-core Apple A5 processor, optional LTE, a 5-megapixel iSight camera, 802.11n Wi-Fi, the new Lightning connector, and a claimed 10-hour battery life. "It is every inch an iPad," summarizes Phil, as he introduces the price: $329 for the Wi-Fi 16GB model. Prices then go up by $100 for the 32GB ($429) and 64GB ($529) variants, and if you want LTE, it'll cost you at least $459, with the same $100 price bumps as you increase the storage. You'll be able to pre-order the iPad mini in black or white from this Friday, October 26th, and Apple will ship it out on November 2nd.

Phage Trojan horses: a conditional expression system for lethal genes.
The EcoRI restriction enzyme (ENase) cleaves DNA molecules within the sequence GAATTC. Cells expressing this lethal activity normally make a second enzyme, the M.EcoRI methyltransferase (MTase), which protects their chromosomal DNA by modifying the EcoRI recognition sites. To isolate mutants of the EcoRI ENase, its gene was cloned into a filamentous phage vector (M13mp18) under control of the lac promoter. Normally, filamentous phages (M13, f1 and their derivatives) form turbid plaques by impairing the growth of their host cell without killing it. In contrast, phages expressing the EcoRI ENase kill the host cell, but survive long enough to produce plaques which are very clear. Expression of the M.EcoRI MTase rescues the host and restores turbid plaque formation. EcoRI ENase mutants were isolated by screening for mutants that make turbid, instead of clear, plaques on an M- host. This conditional expression system may be useful for cloning and mutating genes for other toxic proteins.

The field recording I contributed to our collaboration was made one early evening in late summer in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. The greengrocer [Cyclochila australasiae] is a common cicada that has successfully adapted to the suburbs of both Melbourne and Sydney on the south eastern seaboard of Australia. The calls produce a natural enveloping soundscape throughout the city streets during the hotter months. The song they sing is a continuous, loud call that can reach 120 decibels, the pain threshold for human hearing. This particular cicada is singing at the end of the hot season, and is at the end of its adult life. This is quite apparent in the audible struggle that the cicada is having while trying to sing its last few songs of life, its last calls for a mate.
For the Chinese the cicada is symbolic of the afterlife - rebirth and immortality. I made a recording once in a park in Hong Kong where the senior citizens gathered in the heat to practice tai chi, music and singing - and above them high in the trees the cicadas created a sonic landscape. It was a lovely event to witness, the elderly gathering beneath such loud, persistent symbols of immortality. It happens every morning during the summer. There is also a traditional Chinese burial rite where jade cicadas are placed on the tongue of the deceased - perhaps for a loud voice in the afterlife, I'm not sure.

7.0 percent of U.S. households were unbanked in 2015. An additional 19.9 percent of households were underbanked, meaning that the household had a bank account but also obtained a financial service or product outside the banking system.
The unbanked rate declined from 7.7 percent in 2013 to 7.0 percent in 2015, and was lower than in any of the prior years of the survey.
Reflecting the decline in the unbanked rate at the national level, unbanked rates fell between 2013 and 2015 for many segments of the population, including households with incomes of less than $15,000, younger households, and black and Hispanic households. Despite these improvements, unbanked rates within these groups remained substantially higher than the overall unbanked rate in 2015. In addition, some groups saw an increase in unbanked rates. For example, the unbanked rate among Asian households increased from 2.2 percent in 2013 to 4.0 percent in 2015.
In 2015, higher income volatility was associated with higher unbanked and underbanked rates. These patterns held for households of all income levels.
In 2015, the most commonly cited reason for not having a bank account was, "Do not have enough money to keep in an account." 57.4 percent of unbanked households cited this as a reason, and 37.8 percent cited this as the main reason.
In 2015, unbanked households were substantially more likely than underbanked or fully banked households to perceive that banks were not at all interested in serving households like theirs. Underbanked households' perceptions of banks' interest in serving them were quite similar to those of fully banked households.


Two Saturday morning Elkhorn area bank robbers made off with cash from Pinnacle Bank.
At 9:18 a.m. Omaha Police officers responded to a report of a robbery at Pinnacle Bank, 20320 Veterans Drive. Witnesses stated two males, one armed with a handgun, entered the bank and demanded money.
The bandits received an undetermined amount of cash and vanished after fleeing in a dark colored sedan that fled eastbound on Veterans Drive.
Police continue to investigate this incident. Anyone with information is urged to contact Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402-444-STOP, visit the web site www.omahacrimestoppers.org, or use the P3 Tips mobile app.

News | Financial support for vulnerable residents during COVID-19
Financial support for vulnerable residents during COVID-19
Calderdale Council continues to do everything it can to support local residents facing financial difficulties due to COVID-19.
To help minimise the impact of the pandemic, the Government is awarding an extra £20 per week, for 12 months, to households receiving working tax credit (money provided to workers who are on a low income).
In Calderdale, 1,121 households are due to receive the weekly increase in working tax credit.
An increase in income would usually reduce any benefits that an individual is claiming, such as Council Tax Reduction. To ensure that those receiving the weekly £20 boost are not worse off in terms of the Council Tax they pay, on Monday 27 April Cabinet Members will be asked to approve a temporary change to the local Council Tax Reduction Scheme.
This change would prevent any reduction in a household's current award of Council Tax Reduction resulting from the increase in working tax credit. This would be the case for one year, ending on 31 March 2021.
The change would not have a financial implication for the Council, as it would not increase the award of Council Tax Reduction; it would simply stop reducing an award already in place.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has already passed legislation to offset any reduction in Housing Benefit due to the increase in household income from the larger working tax credit.
To make any changes to its Council Tax Reduction Scheme, the Council would usually need to consult with local people. However, the unprecedented situation with COVID-19 means that Cabinet is being asked to give the go ahead without a public consultation, due to the urgent need to support people struggling financially.
Cllr Susan Press, Calderdale Council's Cabinet Member for Public Services and Communities, said:
"We understand that these are exceptionally challenging times for everyone, especially those who are most at risk. We are doing all we can to help our most vulnerable residents to be more financially resilient during this national emergency.
"Council Tax Reduction is awarded to residents who are most affected by changes in income. The proposed change to the scheme would ensure that we continue to help them throughout the pandemic, and that other kinds of financial support don't result in them paying more Council Tax than they otherwise would."
Further support with Council Tax is also being provided. Calderdale Council has received a £2.17 million share of the Government's £500 million Hardship Fund, which will provide much-needed Council Tax relief to the most vulnerable people during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Council will use the funding to reduce the Council Tax paid by all working-age households currently in receipt of Council Tax Reduction by £150. There is no need to apply for this as bills will be reduced automatically and future payments recalculated to take account of this.
The Cabinet meeting on Monday 27 April will take place virtually, in line with the Government's guidance on staying at home and social distancing. From 6pm it will be live streamed through Calderdale Council's YouTube channel. The Cabinet, Elected Members and officers will participate as normal but via Zoom. As with all Cabinet meetings, members of the public will be able to ask a question, but this must be submitted in advance by emailing Democratic.Support@calderdale.gov.uk before 2.00pm on Monday 27 April 2020.

Blogger's Note II (08/14/18): My estimate is rising once again and I'm going with $22.5 million for the three-day and $33.4 million for the five-day.
Blogger's Note (08/10/18): I am ramping up my estimate for this based on buzz from $14.2M to $19.4M for the traditional weekend and high 20s for the five-day.
In what could turn out to be some smart counter programming, romantic comedy Crazy Rich Asians opens next Wednesday. The Warner Bros release is, rather shockingly, the first stateside studio effort in a quarter century (1993's The Joy Luck Club) to feature a predominately Asian-American cast. It's based on a 2013 bestseller by Kevin Kwan. The cast includes Henry Golding, Constance Wu, Gemma Chan, Lisa Lu, Nico Santos, Ken Jeong, and Michelle Yeoh. Jon M. Chu, who made Justin Bieber: Never Say Never and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, directs.
The film seems to be garnering some positive buzz and it could bring out a female audience, as well as a community clearly underrepresented at multiplexes. Even with that breakout potential, the Wednesday opening probably means it'll debut behind Mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg.
I will estimate a traditional weekend opening in the low teens and that could mean a gross close to $20 million for the five-day total.
Ridley Scott's All the Money in the World is made with all the competence in the world you would imagine from this filmmaker retelling one of the most famous kidnappings in modern history. It's a story built for a cinematic rendering that's moderately successful in its execution. The screenplay from David Scarpa takes liberties with what really happened on occasion, but sticks to many of the bizarre facts surrounding the taking of John Paul Getty III.
In 1973, 16-year-old Getty (Charlie Plummer) was living a carefree life in Rome when he was abducted. The demands for ransom were based on good cause. Getty's grandfather is J. Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer, no relation to the actor playing his grandson). Not only is the elder Getty currently the wealthiest man on Earth, the oil tycoon is the wealthiest man to ever walk it. There's one significant issue: he's also notoriously stingy and his potential heirs are not enjoying his riches.
That means young Paul's mother Gail (Michelle Williams) must ask her former father-in-law for the $17 million demanded for his safe return. Paul's father (Andrew Buchan) is essentially out of the picture both literally and figuratively – off somewhere in a drug induced haze. Mr. Getty has no interest in paying. Some of his reasons seem valid as he figures it will be open season on all his grandkids if he acquieses. Most of his actions re-enforce his reputation as a persnickety cheapskate.
Mr. Getty does direct one of his advisers, former CIA man Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg), to investigate. He believes at first that Paul may have set up the snatching himself for a generous payday. When that wrongheaded theory proves false, a lengthy negotiation develops between Gail, Mr. Getty, and a rather large group of crime figures involved in Paul's capture.
All the Money in the World, of course, has its own notable backstory as Kevin Spacey filmed the entire role portraying Mr. Getty. When numerous sordid allegations came forth about him, director Scott made the unheard of decision to recast the role with Plummer just weeks before its release. You wouldn't know of the behind the scenes drama upon viewership. The 88-year-old gives a strong performance as the unlikable billionaire who never seems to recognize normal human emotion or find a dollar he doesn't attempt to stretch as far as humanly possible. Similar acclaim goes to Williams as the mother desperately trying to come up with solutions when everyone else assumes she can just snap her fingers and cash magically appears. Another solid performance worthy of mention is Romain Duris as Cinquanta, one of the kidnappers who develops a bond with Paul and is far more sympathetic to the situation than his grandpa is. The weak spot is Wahlberg. He's an actor capable of fine work, but I never managed to fully buy him here as the hardened CIA man.
Some of the events depicted here are accentuated for dramatic effect, including an ending for Mr. Getty that didn't follow until years later. Most of the time, the picture glides by on Scott's sturdy direction and its inherently compelling tale of inheritors with a bad benefactor.

How to Fight Pollution With Modern Technologies?
Anna Burtan
Feb 14, 2020 | 5 min read
Interview Sustainability
Pure Earth is a New York-based international NGO acting to clean up global toxic pollution. For the past two decades, the non-profit has been solving pollution problems in low- and middle -income countries. During this period, Pure Earth has received three consecutive four-star ratings from Charity Navigator, plus support and guidance from key international institutions, including the United Nations, the European Commission, and the U.S. Agency for International Development. Today, through the use of technology, their actions can be even more visible and impactful – all thanks to the Report Pollution app that they've built together with Netguru.
Our cooperation with Pure Earth started a few months ago when they asked us to build an app that will raise awareness about pollution and its effects. By documenting examples of pollution, the app aims to become a platform for underrepresented communities and help them inspire others to take action.
I interviewed Lara Crampe, Community Outreach Director at Pure Earth, to see how the idea was born and what their plans for the future look like.
Anna Burtan: How did Pure Earth come to be?
Lara Crampe: Pure Earth started in 1999 as an NGO working with governments and communities around the world. The aim was to identify polluted sites and then find ways to clean them up, especially in areas where children are being exposed to toxic pollution and it's affecting their health. In our work, we try to identify toxic sites and then also come up with cost-effective, efficient ways to clean them up and prevent people from getting sick.
AB: What is the Report Pollution app? How and when did your adventure with the app begin?
LC: We have a website where people can add their pollution stories and identify polluted sites on a map. However, it's hard to drive people to that website and get the word out. It also requires more effort for people to take a picture, go to the website, write up their story, and upload it. That's why we started to investigate new solutions.
We conducted research into the world's pollution and collected ideas for different activities and advertising campaigns. We asked about outreach that has worked to engage people and that we might use in our work. That is how the Report Pollution app idea started. We wanted to create something user-friendly, where people could share their pictures and stories of pollution and other people could learn about it and share it with decision-makers.
Although we were very excited, we also knew that we didn't have the skills or the budget to do anything like that. It was just sitting on the back burner for us – an idea that we had, that we wanted to take on, but weren't able to do, yet.
AB: So the app is just about to go live – how did it happen?
LC: We got an email from Netguru saying that the company was interested in finding non-profits that they could partner with and do a pro-bono project. It was exactly what we'd been hoping for! We had an idea for an app but we didn't know how to build it, not to mention the funds. The day we heard back that Netguru was taking on our project we celebrated in the office. We were so excited.
AB: What were your main challenges?
LC: We are a very small team at Pure Earth with only three people managing the communications and our websites. Additionally, we are a non-technical team that requires external support. The team of professionals at Netguru helped us all the way – from conceptualizing the app and building our strategy, through developing all of the design materials and coming up with new materials that we hadn't even thought of. They helped us with the mechanics of the app, how the system would work, how the app would work, what we needed on the backend…Then finally the actual build-out of the app itself – the technical pieces.
Having a team of professionals working on the project has been the biggest help for us. As a small team, we don't have those skills. Additionally, Netguru could also give us advice about how these things work because they've built many apps and many similar systems. They were able to share their learnings from other clients, other rollouts, and other websites that they've worked on. It's impossible to quantify how much they've added to our understanding and abilities in this space.
AB: What is the future of your organization?
LC: We are really excited about rolling out the app because this will be a way to both report polluted sites and share it with other members, but also for governments to be made aware of those reports.
We are really excited about Report Pollution as a way to continue the conversation, get more people involved and knowledgeable about pollution, and also to engage governments in a new way.
AB: Thank you, Lara, for the interview. Fingers crossed for the app.
LC: Thank you. We are excited about our future. We have big ideas to implement!

When Is an Apartment Rental Agreement Invalid?
While general eviction laws vary by state, the issue of how a master tenant can go about evicting a subtenant differs significantly at the city level. San Francisco's rent ordinance, for example, provides specific guidance regarding how you can evict a roommate.
Consult any agreements you entered into with your roommate prior to an attempt at evicting her. According to the San Francisco Rent Board, only landlords can evict tenants. As a master tenant in a housing unit, the City and County of San Francisco consider you the landlord to your subtenant or roommate. You can evict a subtenant without just cause -- for any reason -- if her subtenancy began prior to May 25, 1998. If it began on or after that date, the Rent Board explains that you can only evict a subtenant without just cause -- San Francisco allows for 15 just causes for eviction, including nonpayment of rent -- if you informed her in writing of this provision at the outset of the subtenancy.
Serve your subtenant a three-day eviction notice if he has failed to pay the rent, violated any terms in your rental agreement, damaged the property, interfered with another tenant, used the rental for illegal purposes or committed certain crimes, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking or drug-related offenses. If the violation is correctable, give the subtenant the chance to fix it. For instance, if your subtenant owes rent, you must state the amount, when it is due and how to pay it. You only need to go through this procedure if your tenant is covered by San Francisco's just cause eviction protections.
Obtain an Unlawful Detainer ruling in court if your subtenant refuses to move out after receiving the eviction notice. In California, the San Francisco Tenants Union explains that renters have the right to stay in their unit even after you serve an initial eviction notice. Evictions in the state must proceed and be finalized in court.
Wait for your subtenant to formally answer the Unlawful Detainer in court. She has five days to respond. If she does not, you win by default. If she does, she can request a trial by judge or jury.
Attend a meeting, prior to trial, with the judge and your subtenant. At this meeting, the judge attempts to mediate the situation. The state's goal is that you will come to an agreement with your subtenant without the need for a trial, according to the California Department of Consumer Affairs.
State your case in court if you cannot reach a settlement. The judge or jury will decide in favor of one party. If you win, your subtenant has five days to move out. If he doesn't, the sheriff will come and remove him.

In the working process of efficiency jaw crusher, there must be more or less frication among parts, which is not only a waste of energy, but also bad for the related parts. The effective way to reduce friction is lubrication. This article will introduce you the lubrication points of efficiency jaw crusher.
The selection of lubricants should be referent the working site, temperature condition and the instruction of grease. Generally speaking, calcium grease is used in most conditions.
Bearing of efficiency jaw crusher is the important lubrication part. The adding amount of grease is fifty percent of the whole volume. And the grease is always replaced once every 3-6 months. When the lubricant is replaced, the bearing should be totally cleaned with petrol or kerosene oil.
When add thin oil to the lubrication parts, the adding amount can not be too much or too little. If the adding amount is too little, the lubrication effect can not be realized. If the adding amount is too much, the redundant lubricant will be wasted. Generally speaking, the suitable amount of the lubricant is the one-third of the whole capacity.
