Muslim Leaders and Preachers Fighting Vaccine Hesitancy: A Shot in the Arm
Published 7 Jun 2021
Afra Alatas
As Malaysia battles a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, Muslim leaders and preachers have been instrumental in fighting vaccine hesitancy among their followers.
On 25 January 2020, the first three cases of COVID-19 infections were detected in Malaysia. Two months later, the situation took a turn for the worst when a three-day mass religious gathering was held. Organised by the Tablighi Jamaat, a Muslim missionary group, an estimated 16,000 people attended the gathering at the Sri Petaling Mosque in Kuala Lumpur. As it turned out, the gathering became Malaysia's largest COVID-19 cluster. Islam thus came to take centre stage in local discussions about the pandemic, with members of the group bravely claiming that God would protect them from the virus.
While the situation in Malaysia has rapidly evolved since, Islam has continued to be a defining feature of the country's fight against the virus, albeit in unexpected ways. Seeing that claims about the impermissibility of the vaccine in the eyes of Islam have been circulating, religious authorities and preachers have been a shot in the arm for Malaysia. They are highly trusted by the people and have given themselves to convincing their co-religionists about the urgency of fighting the virus and getting vaccinated. While the country faces other difficulties in its vaccine roll-out, these religious figures have played a crucial and impactful role in countering vaccine hesitancy among Muslims in recent months.
Apart from a daily nationwide prayer initiative launched by TV Al-Hijrah, a channel under the purview of the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), religious authorities and preachers have made concrete efforts to counter misinformation and conspiracy theories, which have together resulted in vaccine hesitancy. An example of such misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines is allegations that it contains traces of pigs, rendering it impermissible for Muslims. Other conspiracy theories include allegations that vaccines could make people sicker than if they were not to get inoculated and even lead to premature death and that it is part of an agenda to reduce the global population. Others claim that the virus is the work of the Illuminati or the "Yahudi" who are out to control the world. The latter term, which has traditionally been used to refer to Jewish people who practise Judaism, has evolved to become a derogatory euphemism in the local context.
Religious authorities have addressed such allegations. For example, on 23 December 2020, JAKIM declared that the vaccine is permissible and compulsory for those groups who have been identified by the authorities and that it is in line with Islam's emphasis on protecting others from harm and preventing the spread of diseases. On 25 February 2021, they held a forum titled "Vaksin: Cegah Sebelum Kalah" ("Vaccine: Prevention Before Failure"), in which the panellists discussed the urgency of preventing the spread of the virus. The panellists included religious authorities such as Dr Zulkifli Al-Bakri, the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs), Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin, the Mufti of Perlis, and popular preachers such as Firdaus Wong and Izhar Ariff. The forum was received positively, as evident from the fact that netizens shared clips of the session on their social media pages, saying that the forum convinced their relatives to get vaccinated despite their initial hesitancy. Concrete efforts are also in place in individual states such as Terengganu, where the religious authorities have said that they will revoke the licence of preachers who spread vaccine misinformation.
While the situation in Malaysia has rapidly evolved since, Islam has continued to be a defining feature of the country's fight against the virus, albeit in unexpected ways.
Religious preachers have also been playing their part on a smaller scale. For example, a video of a lecture has been making its rounds on social media months after its publication on YouTube. The lecture, which was delivered in December 2020, shows a preacher by the name of Shamsuri Ahmad pleading with his congregants to follow the safety precautions agreed upon by Muslim religious scholars around the world, and not only by those in Malaysia. He seeks to convince them that it is "not a question of the Illuminati, not a question of a Yahudi agenda." Other preachers have sought to convince their social media followers by showing that they have received their vaccines, serving as an example to their followers that the vaccine is safe and essential for their health. Again, these are shared widely by netizens who say that such materials have helped counter their relatives' vaccine hesitancy.
With daily cases hitting a record of 9,020 on 29 May 2021 and the recent imposition of a third Movement Control Order (MCO), Malaysia is struggling to handle the latest wave of the pandemic. While there was initial frustration with the authorities for being too slow to implement effective guidelines in religious spaces, they have stepped up their efforts to convince the masses of the urgency of the situation and have not sought to constrain the implementation of the guidelines on theological grounds.
Amidst the chaos, religious authorities and preachers are unrelenting in utilising their platforms to reach out to their followers. This includes using religious teachings, some of them based on science and law, to educate them about the virus and the vaccine. While Malaysia may continue to face difficulties with its vaccination drive, the positive response to the concrete efforts of religious authorities and preachers, and the obvious frustration with figures who have been violating safety guidelines in recent months, shows that more people are listening to them.

Botley Conveyancing Solicitors | Are They Lender-Approved?
Ready to buy a new home in Botley? Failing to check that a lawyer is on your lender's list of approved solicitors can put your Botley home move at risk of delay or failure.
Only LenderPanel.com provides a subset of authorised Botley conveyancers for over 130 lenders.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Botley last March yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor must also confirm that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Botley.
I have Fifty Six years remaining on my lease and require a lease extension for my flat in Botley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Accord Mortgages panel can deal with such extensions right?
I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Botley house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Botley.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Botley I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Botley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require 'a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Botley conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

"The Wife of Monte Christo"
on this book. I can't seem to find any info on it.
I have a Donohue reprint in good condition which is entitles Monte Cristo and His Wife. This dates from the early 1900's even though their is no date on the book. I know this because the name written in pencil was a relative who did most of her book purchasing between the late 1890's and 1911 The cover is dull green with a paste on plate print of a woman in a large hat. The pages are slightly brown with some brittleness, but the spine is still intact. Any information would be helpful.

Dog owners have been put on notice after the "horrific" death of two rescued wombats this week and a spike in attacks.
Dogs blamed for attacks that ripped rescue animals to shreds
by Jessica Howard
6th Aug 2020 8:14 PM
A SPIKE in dog attacks on wildlife in the state's southeast has prompted animal carers and a local council to remind owners to keep their animals contained.
The Tasman Council is investigating several instances of wombats being seriously injured or killed by dogs in the Koonya and White Beach areas.
Roaring Beach Wildlife Rescue president Ange Anderson said another long term local wildlife rescuer on the Tasman Peninsula had two of her wombats killed by a dog on Tuesday night.

"She has quite extensive outdoor facilities that she spent a lot of time putting in to keep her wombats safe and sadly two wombats she'd been rearing for over a year were both killed by a dog that got into the pen during the night and ripped them to shreds," she said.
"Recently on the peninsula we've have had a few attacks on wildlife from dogs, but this was the first time they've got into an enclosure. Another wombat has been released by another carer and another one was found on the road with its ears ripped off and the back of its neck torn out, which was pretty horrific. It had to be euthanised."
Ms Anderson said the rescue facility was working with the council to track down the owners of the dogs.
The Dog Control Act was recently amended to allow councils to take compliance action in relation to attacks on native wildlife.
"Your dog will be seized and impounded if council believe your dog is responsible for attacks on native wildlife," a Tasman Council spokesperson said.
"It is the responsible of dog owners to ensure their dogs are adequately contained within their property, and they don't create a nuisance by chasing livestock or native animals.
"Substantial financial penalties will apply if dogs are found to be at large."
Ms Anderson said on a positive note, a baby wombat rescued in May was starting to venture out of her makeshift pouch.
"Her mother was run over in Port Arthur when she was only 250 grams and found by a member of the public who walks along there every morning and picks up all the roadkill," she said.

Boko Haram's expanding stranglehold risks legitimacy of Nigeria's election
Geoffrey YorkAfrica Bureau Chief

Barely a month before a crucial Nigerian election, Boko Haram extremists are escalating their campaign of terror, recruiting children as suicide bombers and expanding their territory by slaughtering hundreds of civilians and soldiers.
The Islamist radical militia is now believed to control more than 50,000 square kilometres of northeastern Nigeria – a territory bigger than Denmark. The seemingly unstoppable expansion could have a huge influence over the Feb. 14 election in Africa's most populous country and biggest economy.
Boko Haram's expanding grip on the northeast will prevent more than one million Nigerians from voting in the election, throwing doubt on the legitimacy of what will probably be the closest vote in Nigerian history. President Goodluck Jonathan is struggling to fend off a strong challenge from former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari in the national election.
Boko Haram had already gained worldwide notoriety by kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls last year, defying all efforts to free them. But over the past week, its fighters reportedly killed as many as 2,000 villagers in 16 communities, after overrunning a Nigerian military base in the strategic town of Baga on the shores of Lake Chad.
The Nigerian military did not give its own estimate of the dead, but confirmed that the slaughter around Baga was the deadliest ever committed by Boko Haram.
The extremist group also recruited two girls, believed to be around 10 and 15 years old, for suicide attacks that killed more than 20 civilians in two northeastern towns on the weekend.
Many leaders in Africa and elsewhere have called for a concerted international campaign to end the Nigerian bloodshed, especially after the Baga massacres and the child suicide bombings.
"These images from northern Nigeria should be searing the conscience of the world," UNICEF executive director Anthony Lake said in a statement on Sunday.
"Words alone can neither express our outrage nor ease the agony of all those suffering from the constant violence in northern Nigeria," he said. "But these images of recent days and all they imply for the future of Nigeria should galvanize effective action. For this cannot go on."
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said the Boko Haram extremists are killing thousands of civilians indiscriminately. "I am appalled by these reports of entire towns burnt to the ground and the violent slaughter of entire communities," Mr. Baird said in a statement.
As the radical militia launched a wave of deadly attacks for several days around Baga, hundreds of villagers fled into Lake Chad. Some drowned. About 1,000 reached an island in the middle of the lake, where they were still stranded on the weekend, according to the United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR. Some were reported to be dying of hunger and cold on the island, which is infested with malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
More than 7,300 Nigerians fled across the border to Chad in the past 10 days because of the Boko Haram attacks, the UN agency said. In total, nearly one million people have been forced out of their homes because of the six-year insurgency, including 135,000 who have fled to Cameroon, Niger or Chad.
With its capture of the Baga military base, Boko Haram continues to tighten the noose on the biggest city in the northeast, Maiduguri, where several million people live.
Gaining control of Maiduguri would be the most shocking victory yet for the radical militia. It has already moved to within a few dozen kilometres of the city. For months, the city has been preparing for attack, digging a series of defensive trenches around its perimeter, according to residents.
Boko Haram bombing attacks have already ranged across northern Nigeria and as far south as the capital, Abuja, and several state capitals. On Friday, more than 100 militants attacked Damaturu, the capital of Yobe state, with grenade launchers and other weapons. They were repelled after killing five soldiers, the Nigerian military said.
In one of the most disturbing attacks, a bomb carried by a girl believed to be around 10 exploded in Maiduguri on Saturday, killing 19 people. Four more people were killed on Sunday by explosions from two female suicide bombers in a crowded market in the town of Potiskum.

Innovation Placement at Hardwick Hall (Part Two: Interpretation), by Lauren Butler
Posted December 3, 2019 by WRoCAH Office
"In the centre of the room was one of my favourite activities: a large collaborative artwork. Each visitor was invited to draw and colour in a tiny section of a photograph of Hardwick, and add it to a 260-square grid. By the time I left at the beginning of September, over 1,000 visitors had finished four pictures, and some of the care and talent they put into it was exceptional."
In the second part of her blog post on her AHRC-funded Innovation Placement at Hardwick Hall, Lauren Butler shares how she transformed her research into interactive displays. (You can read part one of Lauren's post here).
Lauren Butler
WRoCAH Alumnus (2015 Cohort)
After spending three months researching the social history of Hardwick Hall, I began working with the house and collections team to plan a refresh of the displays in the kitchens. We hesitated to use the word 'exhibition' because our aim was not to create a finished product. So much of our knowledge of life on the estate and in the house came from the generosity of volunteers and visitors, we wanted to continue with this collaborative approach that allowed the interpretation to be shaped by feedback, both now and in the future.
A National Trust colleague introduced me to the term 'minimum viable product', an approach which begins with the launch of a prototype, and is then built on and shaped by feedback from its target audience. It has been adopted as an approach to co-curated exhibitions by museums such as the V&A, and seemed the perfect term to describe what we were trying to achieve at Hardwick.
In June 2019 we installed a number of small displays and activities focused on the stories that came out of the new research. In the old servants' hall, we reinstated a large photograph of Hardwick's servants in the 1890s, with new information about each of the people and corresponding hats which visitors could try on. In the centre of the room was one of my favourite activities: a large collaborative artwork. Each visitor was invited to draw and colour in a tiny section of a photograph of Hardwick, and add it to a 260-square grid. By the time I left at the beginning of September, over 1,000 visitors had finished four pictures, and some of the care and talent they put into it was exceptional.
In the kitchen, we told the story of the 6th Duke of Devonshire. Known as the bachelor Duke, he died at Hardwick in 1858 after making many 'improvements' to the Hall's contents, including cutting up tapestries to make them fit the staircases. The majority of the copper batterie de cuisine in the kitchen was acquired in his time, and put to good use by his extravagant French chef Monsieur Jean Henri Aberlin (later chief cook to Queen Victoria). Displays included the 6th Duke's wheelchair, with quotes about his final days from his footmen, who carried him up and down the stairs and wheeled him through the passageways. With so much emphasis usually placed on the physical separation between masters and servants, it felt like quite a radical act to tell this story of reliance and intimacy, and to place an 'upstairs' character in a work space (where, his diaries and recipe scrapbooks suggest, he visited from time to time).
In the Still Room, (named for distilling but later used for the preparation of jams, cakes and sandwiches), we focused on life at Hardwick during the majority of the year when the Dukes and their families were not in residence. Visitors were able to try on a replica of Bess of Hardwick's 16th-century cloak, as the housekeepers encouraged tourists to do (with the real thing!) in the nineteenth century. We also hinted at the social lives of servants who threw parties and lived at the Hall with their own families.
After looking at the displays and having a go at various activities (sniffing boxes of food deliveries, folding napkins, rearranging plates for a banquet a la Russe), we encouraged visitors to leave comments about what they would like to see happen with this research in the future. I carried out more focused evaluation during a series of 'Meet the Researcher' days, where I told stories, answered questions, passed around handling objects and collected questionnaires. We had several hundred responses. While everybody seemed to have a different idea about what they wanted from a country house kitchen, the overall message was that people enjoyed the mix of stories and activities, and the deeper insight they gained into the history of the property and the variety of people who had lived there. I loved my placement at Hardwick, and I'm very grateful to the National Trust, WRoCAH and the AHRC for the opportunity to design and manage my own project.

Haunted places and urban legends of the Tennessee Valley – WHNT News 19
Bing and Google News
Ghost sightings, crying babies, floating lights. It's the stuff that kept us awake at night — especially those first-hand experiences.
There's no shortage of good old ghost stories and spooky stories of haunted places around the Tennessee Valley, but we've hand-picked five to explore a little deeper.
LIST: Pumpkin patches across the Tennessee Valley
Dead Children's Playground – Huntsville, Alabama
Dead Children's Playground
A familiar start on this eerie dive of mysterious places, Dead Children's Playground has plenty of stories and experiences to back up its proof of being haunted.
Maple Hill Cemetery in Huntsville is not only the largest cemetery in the state but the oldest. A small playground sits low in a small corner of the cemetery, tucked away, surrounded by rocks and trees – creating an especially claustrophobic feel.
Haunted houses, hospitals and hayrides: This list has all of North Alabama's Halloween hot spots
It also stays eerily quiet.
Reports of swings swinging on their own, haunting sounds of unseen children laughing and screaming. Some have even said they've seen the ghost kids running around and playing.
Old Lincoln Hospital – Fayetteville, Tennessee
'The Conjuring' house in Rhode Island listed for $1.2 million
Lincoln Regional Hospital
The Old Fayetteville Hospital, or "Lincoln Regional Hospital" is a haunted staple of the quintessential small town that sits just over the Alabama state line in Tennessee.
The last day the hospital functioned at this location was September 10, 2001. Prior to being a healthcare facility, the grounds were home to the former Bryson College from 1919 to 1929.
Several stories of ghostly figures standing in the windows have spread over the small town since the hospital doors have closed.
One common story though is the 'Angel of Death'. Nurses who worked in the hospital claimed this figure would stalk patients that were dying.
The entire campus of the former hospital is closed to curious eyes, as visitors are encouraged to steer clear of the building.
Tate Farms opens for the 2021 pumpkin picking season
The Lowry House – Huntsville, Alabama
The Lowry House
Built around 1850 by John Lowry, one of the oldest historic homes in Alabama holds not only original woodwork – but several ghost stories and sightings, according to its website. The house itself has a history in the Civil War, as well as a tragic love story.
That love story, the one where John Lowry marries Elizabeth Lowry in 1846 and Elizabeth dies in 1847, gave way to the "Lady in White" apparition that's been spotted many times in the upper front bedroom.
The home played a part in the Underground Railroad where several women, men, and families were hidden as they escaped slavery. Numerous sightings and noises can be heard in the house, reportedly belonging to the desperate souls.
Full-body apparitions, strange happenings, and rumors of bodies buried in unmarked graves on the property give the Lowry house a full-spectrum haunt-fest. Goosebumps included.
7 things to try at Trader Joe's
These days, the Lowry House hosts special events and weddings, even haunted ones! Visitors are actually encouraged to visit and especially ask about their haunted happenings.
Sally Carter's Grave – Huntsville, Alabama
Now it's time for what may be Huntsville's most famous ghost story – at least by al.com's description – the story of Sally Carter.
The Cedarhurst Mansion was built by Stephen Ewing in 1823. Sally, 15 years old, was visiting her sister Mary Ewing at the mansion in 1837. She became extremely sick and died just three weeks shy of her 16th birthday on November 28.
It would be almost a hundred years later before her ghost would start making appearances. Actually, the first story after her passing wasn't even her apparition. According to Digital Alabama's writing, in 1919, a 17-year-old boy from Dothan was sleeping just outside Carter's old bedroom.
The story goes that a thunderstorm was passing through that night and had toppled Carter's tombstone. In his dream, Carter instructed the boy to prop it back up. When he went to her gravesite the next morning, her tombstone had indeed been knocked over. Legend says he quickly returned to Dothan and never returned to Huntsville.
After this, the stories multiplied over the years. Kids would dare each other to touch the headstone, some swore they saw bones scattered around it, and several others reported seeing her ghost both at the house and at her grave.
Fall has officially arrived at the Hunstville Botanical Garden
When events were held at the Cedarhurst mansion, several "odd" things would happen. Some said their chairs were pulled out from under them, violin cases would fall over on their own, and there's even one report of a woman who fell down a flight of stairs, who said it felt like someone pushed her from behind.
Eventually, the bodies that were buried on the mansion's property had to be exhumed and moved to an undisclosed location because the gravesites kept getting vandalized.
The Cedarhurst Mansion is located in a gated community, so visitors and curious eyes are indeed NOT welcome. You are welcome, however, to walk the grounds of the Maple Hill Cemetery and try to decipher which grave is Sally Carter's.
Trash Pandas to host beer & wine festival this weekend
Cry Baby Hollow – Hartselle, Alabama
Cry Baby Hollow Bridge
The last stop on our haunted tour is a little spot in Hartselle.
Now, this legend has several different variations. Which one to believe, well that's your decision. Maybe a visit could help you decide.
At the core of the Cry Baby Hollow Bridge story is an infant that died.
One version says the baby died in a car or wagon accident. Another says it died at the hands of a murderer. Some have said the infant was a Native American who was swept away from their parents in a horrible flood.
People who drive over the bridge have said if you listen really close as you pass over, you can hear the faint cries of a baby wailing. They also say your car will rattle and shake as you drive over the bridge.
One rumor says if you leave a candy bar out, there will be a bite take out of it when you return.
Because Cry Baby Bridge is not a private location, those who dare are welcome to check out these rumors. Just…don't leave your candy bars out.
Now we want to know – where is YOUR favorite haunted spot?

When I am not in a particular mood to cook and feel lazy, I conjure this up to save myself from the pain of cooking for hours and it turns out delicious and mouth-watering everytime with so little labour gone into it.
1) First remove the crusts from the sides of the breads and then cut them into tiny pieces.
2) Heat the oil in a skillet and fry the onions till they turn golden in color. Add tomatoes, green chillies and coriander leaves. Fry them for 2 minutes till tomatoes soften and then add the potatoes and shallow fry for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3) Add pepper and salt. Then toss the bread pieces and mix them well with the mixture.
4) Now pour the whisked egg on top of the mixture and stir well till all the ingredients blend with each other nicely. The dish is now ready for serving.
I wonder if toasting the bread before dropping it into the mixture will make any difference on the crunchess/crispness of the bread crumbs.
wow great i have been searching for this reciepe thanks a lot..


src bundles in the distribution of TC 5.5.27 include *.class files. Those should not be there.
Also, as I understand, those ones in .tar.gz archive have gone through fixcrlf filter and are unusable.
I can reproduce this issue with current tc5.5.x using Eclipse IDE as the development environment. (The classes compiled by the IDE are the ones that are packed there).
I prepared patch and proposed it for 5.5.
Fixed. Will be OK in 5.5.28.


My wife and I are curious, adventurous souls. Back when I wore a corporate suit and our girls were yet to be conceived, we racked up passport stamps like grocery receipts. Then I started writing and the children started coming and we found ourselves restrained -- for twelve years.
With our youngest approaching 6, and our careers now accommodating (Elena teaches college math online) we've returned to our old tricks. Our 2017 travel schedule looks like the National Geographic channel. Man, it's good to be back!
Used to be I toured and traveled and attempted the unusual to get everything I could out of life. I still do, but now I also do it with my plots and characters in mind. In other words, I'm working.
The plate is kind of like a wedding ring, it doesn't change anything, but the public commitment feels good.
I'll turn 50 later this year (Yikes!) and it's given me pause to look back. What a wild ride. Soviet Counterintelligence in the Special Forces. Foreign Exchange Trader for a pharmaceutical giant. Managing Director at a couple of medical device giants. CEO at couple of Silicon Valley startups.
Where did that come from? I majored in philosophy and math. I got an MBA in finance. I spent 20 years managing medical technologies – people, marketing, sales. The answer: passion and sweat. Enough passion to spend six years living off savings while I taught myself the craft. Enough sweat to soak stacks of bed sheets (although amazingly my wife remained wrinkle free.) But now my writing is being read at the rate of two pages per second, and I feel like I know what I'm doing. No less importantly, I'm loving it.
I covered a lot of ground before I put a ring on Elena's finger, but I'll be with her for life. Likewise, though the car will change (gotta go electric) the plate's gonna stay the same – for the next 49 years at least.
Last night, I had the pleasure of attending a banquet in my mother's honor. Seeing all the love pour forth around the room and reflecting on her lifetime of achievement reminded me of something that seems to be widely forgotten of late: how fortunate Americans are.
We live in a place where anyone can achieve her dreams, if she takes responsibility on her own shoulders, rather than looking for excuses or others to blame, and lives within her means. She can even make the world a better place in the process. Head down nose to the grindstone is an old axiom, and one worth remembering.

For some reason the #clients div does not hide.
Any ideas welcome!
The html:

    <?php include ('include/clients.php'); ?>

A: There were two problems:

*

*your code was never getting called except on initial page load. You need to call it from your click events that change the visibility of the items you are checking.

*you had a timer on your toggle, so the item you were hiding/showing wasn't hidden/shown immediately... but the check to see if it was visible would have been done before that was finished. You should use a callback on the toggle to call your code checking visibility

JSFiddle
$('#NHS').click(function () {
    $('#NHS-Content').toggle(400, foo);
    ...
function foo() {
    if ($('#NHS-Content').is(':visible') || $('#PE-Conten ...

If you are interested, I cleaned up your code quite a bit (went from 41 to 21 lines) in this example with some minor changes to the dom:

Quick Answer: What Are The 3 Main Factors To Consider In Determining AML Risk?
What are the AML requirements?
What is risk based approach AML?
What is the AML process?
Who is subject to AML?
What is the difference between KYC and AML?
Who does AML apply to?
What are the key components of a risk based approach?
What are the four key elements of an AML program?
What are the 3 stages of AML?
What is a risk based strategy?
What are the 4 pillars of AML?
What are the five pillars of an AML program?
Firms must comply with the Bank Secrecy Act and its implementing regulations ("AML rules").
The purpose of the AML rules is to help detect and report suspicious activity including the predicate offenses to money laundering and terrorist financing, such as securities fraud and market manipulation..
Risk-based approaches to AML require banks and other financial institutions to carefully assess any potential risks they may face. This requires you to know your customer. It means that you'll have to find out about prospective and actual clients' business operations, industries, and characteristics.
Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to the laws, regulations and procedures intended to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. Though anti-money laundering laws cover a limited range of transactions and criminal behavior, their implications are far-reaching.
The MLCA's money laundering provisions apply to all US persons and foreign persons when (1) the conduct occurs in whole or in part in the US; (2) the transaction involves property in which the US has an interest pursuant to a forfeiture order; or (3) when the foreign person is a financial institution with a US bank …
The difference between AML and KYC is that AML (anti-money laundering) is an umbrella term for the range of regulatory processes firms must have in place, whereas KYC (Know Your Customer) is a component part of AML that consists of firms verifying their customers' identity.
The regulations apply to many business sectors, including: financial and credit businesses. independent legal professionals. accountants, tax advisers, auditors and insolvency practitioners.
A risk-based approach means that countries, competent authorities, and banks identify, assess, and understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risk to which they are exposed, and take the appropriate mitigation measures in accordance with the level of risk.
There are four pillars to an effective BSA/AML program: 1) development of internal policies, procedures, and related controls, 2) designation of a compliance officer, 3) a thorough and ongoing training program, and 4) independent review for compliance.
There are usually two or three phases to the laundering: Placement. Layering. Integration / Extraction.
A risk management strategy provides a structured and coherent approach to identifying, assessing and managing risk. It builds in a process for regularly updating and reviewing the assessment based on new developments or actions taken.
For years, financial institutions have operated under the maxim that an effective anti-money laundering and Bank Secrecy Act compliance program (collectively "AML") rests upon four pillars: (1) written policies and procedures; (2) a designated AML compliance officer; (3) independent testing of the institution's AML …
Currently, institutional AML programs are based on the "five pillars": internal policies, procedures and controls; designation of an AML officer; employee training; independent testing; and customer due diligence (CDD).

GO AHEAD AND DIE: Keeping It in the Family
INTERVIEW WITH IGOR AMADEUS CAVALERA BY KELLEY SIMMS
PHOTOGRAPHS BY JIM LOUVAU
Consider the Cavaleras as the "Royal Family of Heavy Metal." Former Sepultura and current Soulfly, Killer Be Killed, Cavalera Conspiracy frontman Max Cavalera's offspring have followed in their father's footsteps with their own successful careers in music.
During a father and son getaway at a remote mountain property in the middle of the Arizona desert, Cavalera senior and his youngest son, Igor Amadeus Cavalera, spent the COVID summer of 2020 writing Go Ahead And Die's self-titled debut full-length record. Featuring Max on vocals/guitar, Igor on vocals/guitar/bass, and Zach Coleman (Khemmis, Black Curse) on drums, the album contains an aggressive amalgam of thrash/crust punk/grindcore/hardcore, consisting of 11 face ripping tracks.
Igor speaks about the writing and recording of the album, what it means to be a Cavalera, his stoner metal band Healing Magic, and much more.
How did the phrase "Go ahead and die" become the band name? It seems like the ultimate insult to say to someone. Is that how it was meant to be taken?
It's pretty funny, actually. We were making the music before we had the name. Once we had sent a few demos over to Nuclear Blast and they seemed interested, we realized that we needed to come up with something because things were happening for us. We were looking out in every direction to find a name, and it was actually my dad who came to me and claimed it was a Japanese phrase. I don't know if this was fact checked or not, but he claims it's a Japanese phrase that equals "Go fuck yourself." But when he did a Google Translate, it said, "Go ahead and die." A light bulb went off in my head where I was like, let's just use the English version and possibly even use it as an acronym of GAAD. It's funny that you say it's an insult to people because it kind of is. But the idea we had behind it was, during times of crisis and crazy, chaotic years like 2020 was, our leaders and people in power looked at all of us regular civilians and said, "Meh, go ahead and die, we don't care about you!" It's a black humor insult a little bit. It's a little dark, but for the sound of the record, it fits it perfectly.
Do the current times reflect the vitriolic nature and aggression of the music on the album?
Definitely, man. I don't think it's any surprise to fans of my father that he writes about social commentary, human rights, and sometimes politics even. But I share the same views. I grew up with that from my parents, that's how I was raised. It's definitely influenced by everything from the pandemic, the isolation of quarantine, to police brutality and human rights, to detention centers. So, it definitely spans a lot of different things, but it's rooted in a kind of punk mentality of anti-establishment/anti-police brutality and things like that. I think as Americans we had a lot to be frustrated about last year, and my father and I both channeled that frustration, and sorrow even, in feelings like that into the music. And that's how it came out. That frustration and anger is real, it comes from the heart.
"THAT FRUSTRATION AND ANGER IS REAL, IT COMES FROM THE HEART."
Tell us about the remote location in the Arizona desert writing this record. What was the process like, especially getting to bond with your dad?
It was very natural and organic. We didn't have a strict plan or any type of direction. It really came down to when the pandemic struck. I was living in Florida and all my family was in Arizona. So, when the pandemic went down, I called my folks to ask if I could come stay at the house for a month because things were kind of crazy over here. When we realized we weren't going to tour or play shows anytime soon, we wanted to do this record. We'd been sort of kicking the can around for a while. My parents have a property about 45 minutes outside of Phoenix in the countryside. So, we just locked ourselves in there and started from scratch, literally with a blank page and started coming up with riffs together. We used a drum machine to make the demos at the start. We did it all on my dad's old 12-track recorder from the 90s that he still has. The whole writing process of it was, let's lock ourselves away from people, focus on it, wake up, have breakfast, grab the guitars, and start writing all day long. We did that between writing and when we went into the studio for about five months. I think we started in April or May of last year and we recorded by September. We put a lot of time, focus, and attention into it.
How did the recording process in the studio go? What did you want to achieve sound-wise?
We were definitely going for a retro/extreme record sound, like a Scott Burns sound, an old school death metal sound, a thrashy sound. We took those steps by not using a click track, not over perfecting the guitars and the vocals. There are imperfections through the record, and I love every one of them. It's what gives it personality. We recorded it in Mesa, Arizona at a place called Planet Underground. It's a really swanky place, actually. You wouldn't have thought we did it in a place that nice with how the sound is, but like I said, that was our intention. Charles Elliot of Abysmal Dawn did the engineering. He did a great job of capturing the vision of two deranged madmen who had been in the desert for five months, mid summer I should mention, too. Charles took our crazy ideas and found a way to capture them correctly and get us the sound that we were proud of. From the studio it went to Arthur Rich, who mixed and mastered it. He did a phenomenal job. He really polished it and fine-tuned it into what you hear now as opposed to being a little bit rough like it was in the mixing era of it.
"THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS THROUGH THE RECORD, AND I LOVE EVERY ONE OF THEM. IT'S WHAT GIVES IT PERSONALITY."
Getting drummer Zach Coleman for the album was a great move. How did he appear on your radar?
Once again, it was just kind of natural, the flow of things. I think we had 10-11 songs, and it was coming to that point of getting ready to record it and we needed to find a band. We reached out to our colleagues in the music industry. It was actually Arthur who put us in touch with Zach. They had worked on the Black Curse record. So, they had a friendship already, and we had a friendship already with Arthur, so he passed along Zach's info to us. Once we hit up Zach and he heard the music, he was totally on board. I was pretty impressed by his speed and stamina—his energy to keep playing drums, especially with blasting, which can really wear you out. So, he came in and had full-on energy, despite it being an Arizona summer. He just crushed it.
You handled the guitars, vocals, and all the bass on the album. How did you know which sections to trade off with your dad?
A lot of it came down to who could play and sing and who sounded better for each part. Again, it was just natural. We tried it one way and if something didn't feel right then maybe me and him switched parts. It was all trial and error. Recording the bass really came down to it being a pandemic, not tons of people were looking to join a band or to travel. If we got a bass player to do the record, that would've involved more COVID tests, gas money, plane tickets, etc. So, we just decided to get it recorded and then when we go to play live, we can find a bass player. It was just a natural decision until we got the songs how they are now. We're comfortable playing them. We've practiced a couple of them live. It just feels right at this point.
"ALL OF THIS WAS INSPIRED BY THIS DYSTOPIAN/REAL LIFE PANDEMIC WORLD THAT WE ARE LIVING IN RIGHT NOW."
Opening track on the album, "Truckload Full of Bodies," is obviously COVID related. How was making the video for it? What was the theme and basis for it?
The video was amazing. It was one of the best music videos I've ever worked on. As you mentioned, the song is inspired by the pandemic. It's like a walk-through of an overcrowded/overfilled hospital where they're starting to throw corpses into a truck. The idea for the video was inspired by the lyrics. We went to this old mill from the 20s, and the guy who owns it now has anything and everything you can imagine in there. Everything from the morgue freezer that you see in the video to the incinerator to the cars to the skating half pike. So, when we got there, we were like kids in a toy store. He had the body bags that we got zipped up in. All of this was inspired by this dystopian/real life pandemic world that we are living in right now. It was based on reality
What about your main band Healing Magic? Is GAAD just another creative outlet?
With Healing Magic, we had our debut EP released last year, it's called Restoration. We also have a record we recorded that we're going to put out later this year. As much as Go Ahead and Die could be my main band, my father's in three other bands, Zach's in two other bands, I have another band. I can see there being times where Go Ahead and Die will not be available to play. Healing Magic is my baby, I've been doing it for a couple of years now. We started it in 2018 and it's totally a different sound from Go Ahead and Die. An important thing to note is that Healing Magic is a stoner/sludge band, more on the groovy, ambient, desert side of metal as opposed to Go Ahead and Die, which is in the extreme, fast, blistering type of stuff. I love all different types of music and I wanted to create different music, and some of the themes and sounds that I get to do with Healing Magic I don't get to do with Go Ahead and Die and vice versa. I stay really busy with all my music, that's for sure.
Given that everyone in GAAD is in many other bands, is touring or playing shows as GAAD possible in the near future?
Yeah, that should go without saying. We do want to play live with Go Ahead and Die. We do want to tour, but it's probably going to come down to one month out of each year we need to find time to prioritize it. Whereas Soulfly might be on the road for six months out of the year, and Zach with Khemmis might be out on the road for six months a year, it'll just come down to prioritizing the time to do Go Ahead and Die. This old school sound and extreme crustiness needs to be played live. I really want to play small bars and small clubs—100 to 200 seaters. I think to do punk styled shows with Go Ahead and Die would be totally awesome. It definitely is in the cards, it's just going to come down to finding the time to do it.
"THIS OLD SCHOOL SOUND AND EXTREME CRUSTINESS NEEDS TO BE PLAYED LIVE"
Speaking of the Cavalera family, you're like royalty of metal. Growing up knowing that your dad was such a metal icon, did you want to follow in his footsteps in a career in music?
It's something that obviously we've always been exposed to always and to have the knowledge to be able to do it. I always figured I'd take some type of interest in music, but I didn't know that it was always going to be a band or even being a musician. I have an interest in the business side of it as well. That comes from my mom, she manages all of my dad's bands. She's one of the hardest working managers in metal in my opinion. There were times where I thought about being in music, but there were different aspects of it. It just came naturally. Once I started playing guitar when I was about 10, I really started diving into metal. It might be funny to say, but thanks to MySpace, I found so many bands and had access to all that at a pretty young age. Once it clicked, it was there. But I've always thought of doing other things. I love writing, I to work on fiction novels on the side. I love animals, I'd love to work with animals somehow if I could or work in wildlife in general. It wasn't always necessarily obvious to me, but once I finally had a band and started jamming with people, I knew then that it had clicked and I chose to stick with it.
You, Ritchie, and Zyon have earned whatever you've achieved. Do you find yourselves always having to prove the Cavalera name?
A lot of people probably don't see it this way, but being a Cavalera, I feel I have to work twice as hard. Not only do I have to already do the normal stuff to be in a band, like running it and fronting it and working on the business side of it, but I have to meet people's crazy expectations all the time. Sometimes that can be really intimidating, but I've been doing this since I was 15 when I had my first touring band Lody Kong. It's probably crazy for a lot of people to imagine, but I was 15 out on the road with a couple of friends from the neighborhood playing shows and having people hate us and having people like us and everything in between, from a super young age. Now I'm 26 and I feel like I'm finally starting to have an identity as a musician and to see some of the fruits of all this work. I think a lot of people forget that to be in a band, it's hard. I don't think people really take into account what it's really like to be a musician. It's much harder than people give you credit for. It's definitely not champagne and bubble baths all the time! (laughs) It's actually quite the opposite, but I love it and that's why I do it. If I wanted to have a nice 9 to 5 job and have everything provided and take the easier route, then I would have done that. I chose to play music, I chose the rougher lifestyle because I really wouldn't do it any other way. I got to see all my older brothers and sisters make their mistakes and learn from it. There are benefits to being the youngest.
"I HAVE TO MEET PEOPLE'S CRAZY EXPECTATIONS ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE REALLY INTIMIDATING"
What's next? What will you be focusing on for the rest of this year?
For the next month or so, Go Ahead and Die will be very busy doing press and interviews. We have music videos coming still. We're talking about a digital show until we can hit the road and do it the old fashioned way. Once we move out of Go Ahead and Die, we're going to start working on releasing the Healing Magic record, getting the artwork, doing videos, and press. Same ol' routine but with a different band. I'll be busy all year. I'm hoping by the end of the year there'll be some shows that will be starting. I'm dying to play, but I'm also responsible. I would never feel good if a single person got sick or harmed themselves to come see me. I'm willing to wait, but as soon as that green light is on, we're going to be out there with force.

The world seems to love New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, especially from Marlborough on South Island. Wine drinkers appear to have an insatiable appetite for this lively style of wine with its crisp, green characters softened with tropical exuberance.
However the other 30% or so of New Zealand's wines that are not made from Sauvignon Blanc and do not come from Marlborough are also well worth exploring.
My favourite region must be Hawke's Bay on North Island. This beautiful place is defined by the great sweep of Hawke Bay itself – confusingly the region is called Hawke's (or more normally Hawkes on wine labels) Bay, while the body of water is Hawke Bay, named by Captain Cook in honour of Sir Edward Hawke, First Lord of the Admiralty. It is a largely rural place and includes some spectacular countryside, but the urban centres offer many charms too. The city of Napier was destroyed by an earthquake in 1931 and was totally rebuilt in the, then, current Art Deco style. Nearby Hastings is the other centre and was also largely rebuilt in the Art Deco style. This time capsule of 1930s glamour makes these cities wonderfully evocative places to wander around. The Hastings suburb of Havelock North, very near Te Mata peak, with its relaxing villagey feel is a lovely place to visit too.

Although it has been surpassed by Marlborough in recent decades and now only produces around 10% of New Zealand's wine, Hawke's Bay is still the second largest wine region in the country and the principal centre for red wine production.
What I love here is the sense of history, the first winery was established in 1851 – 120 years or so before vines were grown in Marlborough. In fact several of the leading producers here including Mission Estate, Te Mata, Church Road, Vidal Estate and Esk Valley were all well established by the 1930s.
Of course history never flows in a straight line and although there was indeed a brief flowering of dry wine production here in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with the likes of Te Mata winning awards for their pre World War I "clarets", the real demand in the days of the British Empire was for Port and Sherry substitutes, fortified wines. It was not until the 1970s that the emphasis moved to dry wines and another twenty years before Hawke's Bay started to acquire the reputation as a wine region, especially for reds, that it enjoys today.
Being half way up North Island, Hawke's Bay is one of the warmest areas in New Zealand and enjoys a long growing season. This enables Hawke's Bay to specialise in grape varieties that simply cannot ripen in the cool maritime conditions further south. That being said, it is still a temperate and moderate climate. This contrasts with almost all other "New World" wine producing countries which have hotter Mediterranean climates. The temperatures in the growing season are a bit warmer than Bordeaux, but cooler than California's Napa Valley.
Of course nothing is simple, so where the grapes grow within Hawke's Bay is an important consideration. The coastal zone is appreciably cooler than the areas further inland. This means that the best quality white grapes tend to be grown nearer the ocean, where most of the black grapes will not ripen, and the best black grapes flourish further inland where the extra heat and shelter helps them to achieve full ripeness. These varied conditions mean that Hawke's Bay can offer an incredible variety of wine styles.
The inland temperatures are some 7˚C or so more than the coast. This makes it possible for Hawke's Bay to ripen some grape varieties that defeat almost every other New Zealand region, except Waiheke Island far to the north. Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and even Cabernet Sauvignon all thrive here. Of course New Zealand can almost never produce those big, rich, fruity wines like Australia and California do, there just isn't enough heat for that. So whether you are drinking a Bordeaux style blend of Merlot and Cabernet, or a Syrah, these reds will usually be more delicate than other new world examples, but fruitier and softer than their European counterparts.

The dominant grapes being Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah is almost serendipitous as New Zealand is famous for producing lamb. Merlot-Cabernet blends, like red Bordeaux from the same grape varieties, are a fine match with lamb. Syrah is not only great with lamb, but also partners venison really well and New Zealand is a major producer of that meat too.
As for white grapes, the real speciality is Chardonnay as these conditions, create wines with ripeness and texture as well as fine acidity – think White Burgundy with more fruit. As you might expect though, they also produce Sauvignon Blanc and these tend to be riper, more mouth filling and textured than those from Marlborough.

The soils provide little nourishment and are free draining, which helps to produce concentrated and complex wines as the vines have to work hard and dig deep for goodness while any excess water just drains away rather than making the grapes dilute. Much of the terrain has been formed by five ancient rivers – the Wairoa, Mohaka, Tutaekuri, Ngaruroro and Tukituki – moving over centuries to form valleys and terraces and leaving behind over 25 different soil types including clay loam, limestone, sand and gravel.
Gimblett Gravels soils – photo by Quentin Sadler.
Gravel is the most famous soil here with one of the most important sub-regions of Hawke's Bay actually being called Gimblett Gravels. This warm area was formed by the Ngaruroro (pronounced Na-roo-roe-roe) River changing route after a huge flood in 1867. The deep gravel soils it left behind have almost no organic component, so give low vigour and perfect drainage. This means the area can produce world class red wines with concentration and ripeness together with the elegance and freshness that the relatively cool conditions give, even in this warm part of New Zealand.
Ever since wine growers were first aware of the Gimblett Gravels in 1981 it has been seen as primarily a red wine area. It pretty quickly became known for Bordeaux style blends of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, often with some Cabernet Franc and Malbec too.
Vines growing in the Gimblett gravels – photo by Quentin Sadler.
In more recent years Syrah has started to challenge that dominance and although the amount of Syrah grown is quite small it has quickly earned a very high reputation for quality. Some other black grapes grow here too, with small plantings of Grenache and Tempranillo showing great promise. White grapes make up about 10% of the plantings with some superb Chardonnays and Viogniers as well as a little Arneis, Gewürztraminer and even Riesling.
The Bridge Pa Triangle is an area just a little further inland from Gimblett Gravels. It has similar gravel soils but under a deep layer of loam topsoil, which often makes the wines softer and more aromatic.
There are other sub-zones of Hawke's Bay too, but you are unlikely to see their names appearing on labels anytime soon.
To my mind the wines coming out of Hawke's Bay make perfect restaurant wines. They can provide an attractive half-way house between new world fruitiness and richness and the dryness of European wines. This makes them very food friendly and versatile with food or without. What's more they have that clean and bright New Zealand character that can be very appealing. Also like most new world wines, they usually deliver as soon as the bottle is opened, without needing to be left to breathe for a little while to show at their best.

The Hawke's Bay specialities are most certainly Chardonnay, Bordeaux-style blends of Merlot and Cabernet and Syrah, but there is so much more going on too. Reds from Malbec, Tempranillo, Grenache and even some Pinot Noir in the cooler places. As for whites there is also fine Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon, Viognier, Pinot Gris, Arneis, Gewürztraminer, Riesling and more. So, stylistically it is very hard to pin the region down, but very rewarding to try.
One of the grand old names of Hawke's Bay, Te Mata has been continuously operating since 1892 and is based in a beautiful Art Deco building right by Te Mata peak. The vineyards and winery were completely renovated in the 1980s and they have never looked back. Today they have extensive vineyard holdings in Woodthorpe and the Bridge Pa Triangle as well as the original nineteenth century vineyards at the foot of Te Mata peak itself. Made under the guidance of Peter Cowley, one of the funniest winemakers I have ever met, the range is wonderfully creative and includes a fine oaked Sauvignon and delicious single vineyard Gamay.

Try: Te Mata Coleraine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged for 18 months in barrel it is widely considered one of the very best red wines from New Zealand. I consistently like the restrained, elegant style and the freshness that keeps it irresistibly drinkable.
Available in the UK for £56.99 per bottle from The New Zealand House of Wine.

This winery only dates back to 1993, but that makes them almost pioneers as far as New Zealand wine is concerned and they have certainly made their mark. Initially it was a joint venture between famed Australian winemaker John Hancock and Robert and Robyn Wilson, owners of London's The Bleeding Heart restaurant. Chief winemaker Warren Gibson has been there since 1997 and he produces a range of beautiful wines that perfectly illustrate how diverse Hawke's Bay can be – they even make a rich and aromatic blend of Marsanne and Viognier and a suave Pinot Noir.
Try: Trinity Hills Gimblett Gravels Syrah – this shows perfectly why Hawke's Bay is good for Syrah. The cooler climate really defines this wine with its lively fruit and floral aromas. The luscious palate has ripe blackberry fruit, soft spices, integrated oak and ripe, sweet tannins. There is always a sense of freshness and purity in good Hawke's Bay Syrah that sets it apart.
Available in the UK for £20.99 per bottle from The New Zealand House of Wine.

Spaniard Anthony Vidal opened his eponymous winery in an old racing stable in 1905. Owned by Villa Maria since the 1976 it opened New Zealand's first, and still very fine, winery restaurant in 1979. Hugh Crichton has been the winemaker for many years now and his deft hand seems to do no wrong. He has a particularly high reputation for his Chardonnays, but the Syrahs and Cabernet blends are mighty fine too.

Try: Vidal Estate Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon is a great introduction to Hawke's Bay reds. The palate is bold and richly fruity with smooth tannins, smoky oak and a touch of spice – 5% Malbec in the blend helps with the pizzazz.
Available in the UK for £14.00 per bottle from The New Zealand Cellar.
Vineyards at Craggy Range from their fabulous restaurant – photo by Quentin Sadler.
Businessmen Terry Peabody and revered viticulturist / winemaker Steve Smith MW created Craggy Range in the 1990s and quickly established themselves as one of the great names of Hawke's Bay. Today chief winemaker Matt Stafford crafts a superb range of wines from vineyards in the Gimblett Gravels and the cooler coastal area near Cape Kidnappers.

Try: Craggy Range Kidnappers Vineyard Chardonnay – the cool coastal conditions really define this wine with its freshness and minerality, subtle richness and restrained use of oak – think Chablis 1er Cru with a bit more soft fruit.
Available in the UK for £17.99 per bottle from Waitrose Cellar.
The only elephant at Elephant Hill Winery – photo by Quentin Sadler.
Founded in 2003 this estate is another newcomer that has a built a huge reputation for itself very fast. It is managed by the charming Andreas Weiss whose parents created Elephant Hill after falling in love with the area while on holiday from their native Germany. The winery is surrounded by vines and sits almost on the cliff edge at Te Awanga. This is where they grow their white grapes while the reds and richer whites are grown in their Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa Triangle vineyards. The winery boasts incredible views and a great restaurant. As to the name, Andreas told me, "there's no hill and there's no elephant, but you certainly remember it".

Try: Elephant Hill Sauvignon Blanc – a pure and vivacious style, but rounder and more textured than a typical New Zealand Sauvignon. It feels clean, precise and beautifully defined too, with wonderful salty minerality cutting through the ripe citrus fruit.
Available in the UK for £16.50 per bottle from Corney & Barrow.
Esk valley's terraced vineyard, home to the Terraces, one of New Zealand's finest reds – photo courtesy of Esk Valley.
This famous winery sits right on the coast some 10 km north of Napier and was originally a fortified wine producer that fell into disuse by the 1970s. George Fistonich of Villa Maria bought it in 1986 and it has never looked back. For the last 20 odd years it has been left in the talented hands of winemaker Gordon Russell who has happily put all the old prewar concrete fermentation vats to use for his red wines and who revels in his reputation for being something of a maverick who makes true handmade wines.
Gordon Russell with his beloved pre-war concrete fermentation vats at Esk Valley – photo by Quentin Sadler.
Gordon crafts one of New Zealand's most famous reds, Esk Valley The Terraces, from a one hectare block of vines on a terraced vineyard overlooking the ocean right by the winery.
Try: Esk Valley Verdelho – this grape is mainly used to make fortified Madeira, but this is an unfortified style that has a lovey brightness to it and enticing aromatics. I love the mandarin-like acidity, the rich palate and the little touch of salinity on the fresh, lively finish. It's wonderful with oriental food.
Available in the UK for £13.75 per bottle from The Oxford Wine Company.
The Ham Family of Alpha Domus – photo courtesy of the winery.
This estate is a real pioneer of the Bridge Pa Triangle. It was founded in 1990, pretty early for this sub-region, by the Ham family from the Netherlands. The first names of the five family members who founded and run the winery are; Anthonius and Leonarda together with their sons Paulus, Henrikus and Anthonius – Alpha! They produce a fine range of single vineyard, estate wines from the classic Hawke's Bay grape varieties of Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah, as well as Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and Cumulus, a Traditional Method sparkling Chardonnay.
Try: Alpha–Domus The Wingwalker Viognier – in France's northern Rhône, where Syrah originates, Viognier grows next door, so it makes perfect sense that we are beginning to see more of this exotic, aromatic grape grown in Hawke's Bay and used either on its own or co-fermented in tiny amounts with Syrah.
This is a rich but fresh example with exotic ripe fruit aromas and a succulent and silky palate with ripe peach, pineapple, coconut cream and a touch of shortbread. The balance is lovely and it makes the wine seem pure, yet powerful. Great with firm fish and white meat dishes.
Available in the UK for £18.50 per bottle from Noble Green.
Villa Maria is an extraordinary company. Created singlehandedly in 1961 by a 21 year old New Zealander with Croatian roots. That young man is now Sir George Fistonich, one of the great figures of the wine world and he still has the same drive and passion all these years later. Villa Maria have vineyards and a winery in Marlborough and Auckland as well as Hawke's Bay including owning one of the largest parcels of the Gimblett Gravels. To my mind they never put a foot wrong and consistently produce elegant wines that people enjoy, at all price points. Their Merlots, Merlot-Cabernet blends and Syrahs are all from their Hawke's Bay vineyards. They recently launched a super premium Gimblett Gravels Cabernet Sauvignon called Ngakirikiri which means "the gravels" in Maori. It's a stunning wine with beautiful fruit, incredible richness, but also elegance and poise with gentle, supple tannins.
Try: Villa Maria Cellar Selection Gimblett Gravels Grenache – a surprisingly rich take on this grape that loves heat and sun. It's richly fruity with black cherry and dried strawberry characters and lots of spice in the form of white pepper, fresh ginger and clove.
Available in the UK for £16.00 per bottle from Noble Green.
Of course this selection barely scratches the surface, there are many more fabulous wines from the producers mentioned here, let alone other wineries in Hawke's Bay. These are all very good though, are easily available and show the quality and diversity that this exciting wine region can produce.

Lois Lerner to GOP candidate: We'll drop charges if you promise never to run again
By Joe Newby May 30, 2013 January 8, 2014
According to a report published Wednesday at Illinois Review, Lois Lerner, the embattled IRS official who ran the department that targeted some 500 conservative and Christian organizations seeking tax-exempt status, once told a GOP candidate running against Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that she would drop all charges against him if he promised never to run for office again.
Al Salvi, the Illinois Republican who ran against Durbin in 1996, told the Illinois Review in an exclusive interview that when Lerner ran the Enforcement Division of the Federal Election Commission, she made him an offer: "Promise me you will never run for office again, and we'll drop this case."
Not only did Salvi decline her offer, he ran for Illinois Secretary of State in 1998.
Salvi said he recognized Lerner when he saw her invoke her Fifth Amendment rights.
"That's the woman," he said. "And I didn't plead the Fifth like she did."
During the final weeks of the 1996 campaign, two FEC complaints were filed against Salvi – one by Illinois Democrats about the way he reported a loan he made to himself, and another by the Democratic Senatorial Committee about a reported business donation, Illinios Review said.
News of the complaint and a personal $1.1 million loan he made to the campaign dominated the news and suffocated his campaign.
"We couldn't get our message out because day after day, the media carried story after story about the FEC complaint," Salvi said. Durbin won the election and Salvi was left to clear his name.
A federal district court dismissed the case against him in 1999, but the FEC appealed it to the 7th U.S. District Court of Appeals, calling in the FBI to go after him.
"According to Salvi, two FBI agents unexpectedly visited the Salvis' home, and interrogated his elderly mother about her $2,000 check to her son's campaign and where she got 'that kind of money,'" Illinois Review said.
The case was finally dismissed in 2000, but Salvi said it was Durbin's way of getting him out of politics.
"The judge said to Lerner, 'Let me get this straight – Mr. Salvi loaning himself money is legal, and you have no complaint against that, is that right?'" Salvi recalled. "Ms. Lerner agreed. Then the judge said, 'You just don't like the way his attorneys filled out the report?' Lerner agreed."
Salvi never paid the FEC a dollar in fines or penalties, Illinois Review said, but the four-year-long case cost him a hundred thousand dollars in legal fees.
Lerner continued her stint at the FEC, going after the Christian Coalition. She later moved to the IRS, where she is now embroiled in a scandal involving the targeting of conservative and Christian organizations.
Durbin went on to ask the IRS to target Crossroads GPS, a conservative group run by Karl Rove.
"Salvi says it will be interesting to see how Lois Lerner, Dick Durbin, the FEC, IRS, and Illinois politics intersect as these investigations continue," the Illinois Review article concluded.
