2016 White Burgundy: Excellent, But Complicated
BY STEPHEN TANZER | SEPTEMBER 27, 2018
Two thousand sixteen is a potentially classic white Burgundy vintage marked by a devastating frost event that sharply reduced overall production and dramatically complicated the lives of growers. Now long-time Burgundy collectors must navigate their own set of challenges to find the best bottles.
After sampling finished 2016s from several dozen of the best growers and négociants on the Côte de Beaune, it's hard not to arrive at the same conclusion I've often expressed about Burgundy wines in general: the more you know, the less you understand. Vintage generalizations about the 2016 whites are virtually worthless, as the wines range dramatically in aromatic character, ripeness, texture, concentration and balance – in most cases owing, directly or indirectly, to the deadly frost event on the night of April 26/27. But it's also a vintage well worth due diligence on the part of Burgundy lovers, as the better wines are precise, fresh and classic. Overall production was sharply lower than normal, so the wines will also require serious effort to hunt down.
The border of Chassagne-Montrachet and Saint-Aubin was an epicenter of frost damage in 2016 but merely muddy in early June of 2018
A Brief Recap of the 2016 Growing Season and Harvest
I offered a detailed description of the 2016 growing season in my original coverage of these wines from barrel last year (September 2017). Here's a slightly shorter version. Burgundy's winter featured the warmest December-through-February period in over a century. January and February were unusually wet as well, as was the entire first half of the calendar year. After cooler weather through most of March, a warmup at the end of the month and into April triggered an early budburst, which in turn left the first set of buds and new leaves particularly vulnerable to the terrible frost of the night of April 26.
As I described last year, that evening had brought humidity and rain, and frigid air flowing in from the west through the Côte d'Or's numerous combes, in conjunction with brilliant sunshine the following morning, resulted in widespread destruction. The sun acted like a magnifying glass on the ice-encrusted young buds, essentially exploding the buds in the most-affected areas. In most years, well-aerated hillside vineyards are less affected by frost, as the coldest air typically slides down the slopes and settles in lower, flatter spots, which are also more water-retentive and thus more humid and vulnerable to freezing of the leaves and buds. But the east-facing hillsides, which include many of the Côte de Beaune's most prized crus, along with Montrachet, were the first to be targeted by the rising sun. Chassagne-Montrachet was an epicenter for frost damage, but the southernmost climats in Chassagne and especially Santenay were largely spared, as this section was partly protected by mist from the bright early-morning sunshine that burned the buds just to the north.
While the grand crus of Puligny-Montrachet and some of its premier crus were also affected, higher sites like Folatières, Truffière and La Garenne mostly escaped damage and produced good quantities of fruit. (Overall, among the Côte de Beaune's most important villages, Puligny-Montrachet was far less affected than either Chassagne-Montrachet or Meursault.) The northern part of Meursault suffered significantly from the frost but the southern half of the appellation, particularly the strip of the village's top premier crus Les Perrières, Les Genevrières and Les Charmes, mostly got off with a warning. And farther to the north, much of Beaune and Savigny-lès-Beaune also suffered due to their exposure to cold air flowing in through the Combe du Rhoin. West-facing vineyards in Pernand-Vergelesses were especially vulnerable to the freezing air on the morning of the 27th, while the east-facing slope of the Corton hill was protected.
Ultimately, it was a devastating frost without logic or consistency, and its effects often ranged dramatically within fairly small areas, thus ensuring a complicated summer in the vines from the outset.
On the Place Carnot in Beaune, Burgundy's nerve center
The frost shock was followed by nearly two months of gloomy, wet weather. That period, in conjunction with the very warm winter that went by without bringing a hard freeze to slow the spread of vineyard viruses, kill funguses and reduce the year's population of destructive insects, triggered a vicious outbreak of both powdery and downy mildew, but the vineyards remained too water-logged to allow growers to bring in any heavy machinery. (Foliage weakened by the frost was particularly vulnerable to mildew.) Growers were forced to don moon suits to spray their affected vines repeatedly and in a timely fashion through May and June and well into July. The flowering was very late and somewhat drawn out, taking place during the second half of June (earlier in vineyards that had been little affected by the frost but considerably later for frosted vines that eventually sprouted a second set of buds, or contre-bourgeons).
Fortunately, the second half of the growing season was dramatically better, with the exception of a bit of localized hail on July 14 that had some impact on vineyards in Chassagne-Montrachet. Following a sharp heat spike in early July, warm and dry weather settled in by the middle of the month, essentially ending mildew pressures, and lasted well into September. The second half of August was especially hot, resulting in a blockage of maturity, or even grillure (grapes burned by sun), in some sites. But grape sugars were moving up quickly in the final week of the month and were further stimulated by a bit of refreshing rainfall at the beginning of September. A week featuring more significant precipitation and somewhat cooler temperatures beginning on September 11 (some producers reported heavy rainfall on September 15) slowed further uptake of sugar, and acidity levels in the grapes often leveled off after having steadily declined during the warm weather in late August and the first part of September.
The first Chardonnay harvested on the Côte de Beaune began around September 17, especially those who had tiny crops of first-generation grapes that were ripening very quickly, but most began between the 20th and 24th. Some growers claimed that the mid-September rainfall was constructive for the balance of the grapes, while others thought it resulted in some dilution of acidity and potential alcohol.

The Critical Variable of Frost Damage and Its Effect on the Wines
If the 2015 white Burgundies can be said to be strongly marked by their vintage character (sunny, hot and very dry), so can the '16s from vineyards that were significantly affected by frost. But for wines that largely escaped, 2016 is a vintage of terroir over vintage, and thus may well be preferred to 2015 by veteran Burgundy aficionados.
Patterns of frost damage – as well as their ultimate effect on the year's crop – were extremely erratic and unpredictable. Some vineyards essentially lost their entire set of primary buds. If the contre-bourgeons (the typically less-productive second set of buds that often develop if the primary buds have been destroyed) appeared, they could produce small quantities of wine, although these grapes would require favorable summer conditions and a later harvest to ripen properly, as the second buds in '16 appeared as much as three weeks later than the first generation. If there was no second generation of grapes owing to the shock to the vines from frost, then there would be no production. Of course, if there was a small first generation but no second set of buds, the tiny crop typically ripened very quickly, achieving higher levels of potential alcohol by the time the harvest got underway.
Many vineyards were carrying a combination of first- and second-generation fruit and thus growers faced the challenging decision of when to pick. Some chose an "average" point, when the secondary buds had passed the obviously green stage but the first buds had not yet gotten overripe. These growers typically maintained that the nearly ideal weather conditions during the second half of the season allowed the second-generation fruit to narrow the ripeness gap. But in some cases, where much of the first set of buds was destroyed and a second set of buds did not appear, premier crus weren't even made, with growers making the decision to declassify their tiny quantities of grapes; in other instances, two or more tiny premier cru lots were assembled into a single premier cru bottling.
And of course the serious mildew issues introduced another variable in 2016, although this damage is harder to quantify and to describe. It could cost fruit in some spots, but by damaging the leaves it could also have a significant if less immediately obvious effect on the ripening process. While many of the growers I visited in Burgundy this spring mentioned the severe outbreak of mildew in '16, with some saying that it further reduced their ultimate production, most maintained that, in their crus at least, they were able to keep the upper hand through repeated spraying.
The grapes in many vineyards struggled to ripen completely, including sites where crop levels were full. After all, the flowering had been very late, so the period leading up to the harvest was in mid-September (as opposed to late August in vintages like 2017 and 2015), when days are getting shorter. For vines that generated a second, significantly later set of buds, it was only because the summer turned consistently warm, and the quantity of second-generation fruit was so small, that these latter grapes had any chance to ripen. In the end, grape sugars in 2016 were roughly average by recent standards – in most cases between the high 11s and 13% – and somewhat lower than the 2015s, which began at 12.5% at numerous addresses. Acidity levels were variable: typically sound when the fruit was picked expeditiously or contained a sizable percentage of second-generation grapes, but sometimes on the soft side when crop levels were tiny or the grapes were harvested later than optimum. As there was very little malic acidity remaining in the grapes after the hot summer weather, the balance of the wines did not change significantly during the secondary fermentations.
Yields varied drastically from vineyard to vineyard and even within vineyards. And the yield figures provided by producers do not necessarily track the density or intensity of specific wines: for example, freakishly low yield numbers may mask the fact that half of a vineyard was totally frosted while the other half carried a normal crop of grapes. Just as important a variable in 2016 is the ripeness and balance of the wines: were they made from a small quantity of first-generation grapes that ripened well, or largely from the contre-bourgeons that still had an element of underripeness when they were picked – or a combination of the two? Some growers told me that they did not use fruit from secondary buds, or that there wasn't any second-generation fruit in the first place, while others admitted that this fruit comprised a significant percentage of certain of their wines; these latter growers typically maintained that they were able to pick it late enough for it to have ripened reasonably.

Styles of Wine in 2016
The better '16s – and there are many of them well worth your interest – are vibrant, precise and firmly built, with the extract and energy to support graceful evolution in bottle. I suspect that most of the best of these wines are from reasonable or lower-than-average crop levels of first-generation grapes. Many '16s come across as a bit soft and lacking in acidity and grip, and these wines, some of which also lack concentration or show rather tropical aromas, are likely to be more useful for early drinking than as cellar candidates. Wines from vineyards that were essentially unaffected by the late-April frost can be pliant and generous, with normally attractive balance and a classic range of orchard and stone fruits, flowers and minerals. But the effects of frost can manifest themselves in subtle ways. Last year I wrote that the differences between wines made from frosted and non-frosted vineyards were not always easy to see, and that many winemakers shared this view. Now that I've had the chance to taste hundreds of these wines in their finished form, I would only add that 2016 is a vintage for which you would be well advised to take advantage of tasting notes from critics you have come to trust.
When some primary buds survived and the contre-bourgeons did not appear, the small amount of remaining fruit could reach good phenolic ripeness and the resulting wines can be both highly concentrated and well balanced. But when second-generation grapes went into the wines, this fruit was typically less ripe, in terms of both grape sugars and phenolics, and the resulting wines can manifest this quality in a number of ways. The combination of smaller grapes with a high ratio of skin to juice and skins that were not completely ripe in many instances resulted in an element of tartness or even bitterness. Other wines struck me as a bit rigid and unlikely ever to truly blossom in the bottle. And numerous '16s finish either noticeably tannic or hard-edged. Too much extraction during fermentation in some cases exacerbated the wines' skin character, although most producers I visited made it clear that they were careful with both extraction and use of new oak in 2016. Happily, there was little in the way of rot in 2016, so that is at least one potential time bomb that should not be a factor in the ageability of these wines.
I think of the 2016s as more classic and transparent to terroir than the more opulent and sometimes massive '15s, but as you can see, it's remarkably hard to generalize about the '16s, even within a given cellar. As a rule, I prefer the style of the '16s to the larger-scaled but less delineated '15s. But, with few exceptions, the 2016s do not possess the adamant salty minerality, density and thrust of the '14s, even if casual drinkers may get more enjoyment out of the newer crop of wines over the next several years.
Most of the wines in this article were tasted in Burgundy at the end of May and early June, but I sampled (and retasted) many more wines in New York in August and early September.

Uncharted 4 PS5, PC Versions Are Missing Multiplayer, Rating Suggests
The ESRB rating for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves on PlayStation 5 and PC suggests Uncharted 4's multiplayer mode continues to be removed in the remaster. Naughty Dog announced the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves remasters of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy for PS5 and PC throughout the PlayStation Showcase 2022, following rumors of an Uncharted collection with all of five games supposedly visiting PC. However, the actual release is only going to range from the franchise's two newest titles, excluding the initial Uncharted trilogy from the remastered package.
Naughty Dog first brought multiplayer to Uncharted franchise with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. A departure from the original game (that was a strictly solo affair), Uncharted 2 multiplayer had several game modes, including co-op, where players could casually gain levels characters, unlock new weapons and perks, and battle it across numerous maps from the single-player campaign. Multiplayer mode saw a comeback in Uncharted 3 and was later added to Uncharted 4 in an update, which featured an overhauled in-game store and included features from the base game. Sadly, Uncharted 4 multiplayer was less popular than previous installments', and prominent team-based multiplayer FPS Overwatch released the same month in 2022.
According for an ESRB rating (via VGC), the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves remaster collection will not feature the return of Uncharted 4 multiplayer. The PS5 and PC rating states the gathering will not have any "Interactive Elements," which includes user interactions, location sharing, the sale of digital goods or services, and unrestricted internet access. Though unconfirmed by PlayStation or Naughty Dog, this likely means the PS5 and PC versions of Uncharted 4 won't release with the multiplayer mode included.
Despite being renowned for blockbuster single-player games, Naughty Dog is constantly on the add multiplayer games modes to the titles, because the Last of Us's multiplayer mode was praised for its brutal and tactical gameplay. Naughty Dog is currently developing an untitled standalone multiplayer spin-off from the Last people Part II, and a recent confirmation revealed will still be being produced.
The removal of multiplayer from Legacy of Thieves isn't unprecedented, as Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection excluded multiplayer, too. Based on that, Sony might be executing exactly the same plan with the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves at the begining of 2022. It appears unlikely to become added, but Uncharted 4's multiplayer mode's absence has yet to be officially confirmed or denied. A definitive answer will likely be provided soon, possibly once pre-orders go live.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's decision to divert federal funding away from a health insurance program is drawing sharp criticism from children's advocates.
Shannon Cotsoradis, president of Kansas Action for Children, says the governor is shortchanging Kansas families who depend on the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP.
Cotsoradis references income tax cuts passed at Brownback's urging in 2012. The cuts caused a steep drop in state revenue and have forced Brownback and legislators to cut spending and raise other taxes to keep the state budget in balance.
However, the increase in sales and tobacco taxes passed by lawmakers to end the 2015 legislative session weren't enough to put this year's budget in the black. So, Brownback and state Budget Director Shawn Sullivan were forced to come up with another $63 million in spending cuts and fund transfers.
The transfers included $17.6 million in federal funding for the CHIP program.
Sullivan noted that the state learned in late June that it was going to receive a 23 percent increase in CHIP funding from the federal government.
"The timing of this was pretty fortunate," Sullivan says.
The additional funding increased the federal government's share of Kansas CHIP funding from 70 percent to 92 percent.
Elisabeth Wright Burak, senior program director at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute Center for Children and Families, says some states are using similar increases to expand their CHIP programs or fund outreach efforts to increase enrollment.
Approximately 54,000 Kansas children are enrolled in CHIP, about 87 percent of those thought to be eligible. The national average for CHIP participation is slightly higher, at 88.3 percent.
Diverting the federal funds to prevent cuts in other areas won't negatively affect CHIP, Sullivan says.
"This does not lead to any sort of expenditure reduction or major change in the (CHIP) program," he says.
Wright Burak says that the eligibility threshold for the Kansas CHIP program is eroding due to an indexing provision included in a 2010 law that expanded the program.
"It's a missed opportunity to use those freed-up funds and put them back in the system and bring the eligibility level to where it was when they passed (the extension)," she says.
The failure to use the increased federal funding to restore CHIP eligibility levels is the latest in a series of budget decisions that have negatively affected Kansas children, Cotsoradis says, noting that Brownback and lawmakers also diverted money from early education programs and other children's initiatives.
Sullivan says efforts were made to spare core services and programs to the extent possible.
"We really tried to take the line here of trying to minimize as much as possible the impact this would have on Kansans," he says.

Q: Looping through list of objects - Terraform I have variable like this (input comes from Terragrunt):
zones:
  zone_a:
    - name: "test"
      type: "A"
      value: "127.0.7.2"
    - name: "test2"
      type: "A"
      value: "127.0.7.3"
  zone_b:
    - name: "test3"
      type: "A"
      value: "127.0.7.5"
    - name: "test4"
      type: "A"
      value: "127.0.7.6"

How can I loop through it in Terraform. for_each doesn't seem to work as it doesn't accept list.
I would like to have many records like so:
resource "cloudflare_record" "record" {
  zone_id = "zone_a"
  name    = "test"
  value   = "127.0.7.2"
  type    = "A"
}

The same would go for every record in every zone.

A: Not sure if this is the cleanest or the easiest solution, but I think I managed to get to where you want. In my example it requires two transformations but should be working. The first one would require to populate a local variable with values coming from Terragrunt (the name of the variable is just an example):
local {
  cf = yamldecode(var.terragrunt_variable)
}

In the second step, you would convert the list of maps to a map of maps (also a local variable):
  cf_zones = { for k, val in local.cf["zones"] : k =>
    {
      for i in val : i.name => {
        "name"  = i.name
        "value" = i.value
        "type"  = i.type
      }
    }
  }

This gives:
{
  "zone_a" = {
    "test" = {
      "name" = "test"
      "type" = "A"
      "value" = "127.0.7.2"
    }
    "test2" = {
      "name" = "test2"
      "type" = "A"
      "value" = "127.0.7.3"
    }
  }
  "zone_b" = {
    "test3" = {
      "name" = "test3"
      "type" = "A"
      "value" = "127.0.7.5"
    }
    "test4" = {
      "name" = "test4"
      "type" = "A"
      "value" = "127.0.7.6"
    }
  }
}

In the next step, create a new local variable to be used with for_each:
  fe = merge([for k, v in local.cf_zones : {
    for zn, zv in v : "${k}-${zn}" => {
      "id"    = k
      "name"  = zv.name
      "type"  = zv.type
      "value" = zv.value
    }
    }
  ]...)

If you print out the local.fe variable, the value will be:
{
  "zone_a-test" = {
    "id" = "zone_a"
    "name" = "test"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.2"
  }
  "zone_a-test2" = {
    "id" = "zone_a"
    "name" = "test2"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.3"
  }
  "zone_b-test3" = {
    "id" = "zone_b"
    "name" = "test3"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.5"
  }
  "zone_b-test4" = {
    "id" = "zone_b"
    "name" = "test4"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.6"
  }
}

Finally, for the resource, you can use for_each with the local fe variable:
resource "cloudflare_record" "record" {
  for_each = local.fe
  zone_id  = each.value.id
  name     = each.value.name
  value    = each.value.value
  type     = each.value.type
}

A: you could organise your records with the zone name in them then iterate over them in a foreach putting the values in
variable "zones" {
  type    = any
  default = {
    zone_a = [
      {
        name = "test"
        type = "A"
        value = "127.0.7.2"
      },
      {
        name = "test2"
        type = "A"
        value = "127.0.7.3"
      }
    ]
    zone_b = [
      {
        name = "test3"
        type = "A"
        value = "127.0.7.5"
      },
      {
        name = "test4"
        type = "A"
        value = "127.0.7.6"
      }
    ]
  }
}

locals {
  records = flatten([for zone, info in var.zones: [for zone_info in info: merge({zone=zone}, zone_info)]])
}

#resource "cloudflare_record" "record" {
#  for_each = local.records
#  zone_id = each.value["zone"]
#  name    = each.value["name"]
#  value   = each.value["value"]
#  type    = each.value["type"]
#}

output "records" {
  value = local.records
}

OUTPUT of RECORDS
Outputs:

records = [
  {
    "name" = "test"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.2"
    "zone" = "zone_a"
  },
  {
    "name" = "test2"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.3"
    "zone" = "zone_a"
  },
  {
    "name" = "test3"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.5"
    "zone" = "zone_b"
  },
  {
    "name" = "test4"
    "type" = "A"
    "value" = "127.0.7.6"
    "zone" = "zone_b"
  },

Mobile application capabilities with HTML5 are incredibly integrated and the possibilities are far more advanced. From extended user interaction, offline capabilities, GEO Location API, and even canvas drawing.


There is too much worry over who is going to pay for responses to a disaster. Currently, there are Urban Search & Rescue teams that can respond while the the lines of response and responsibility are clear enough that arguing over the bill obfuscates the problem.
Local mayors should put pressure on their governors to create clear lines of communication so that everyone knows who to talk to during an emergency, who will provide the financial assistance, and how that assistance will manifest itself.


A rebate is a rebate. I don't see any real gimmick here. I would take advantage of it if I liked any of the phones they offer, but they don't.
so, we need to trade our old device. The plan is like a 80 dollar offer per month ofc.
Totally not worth it. Seems nice at first but after reading the conditions it's a big NO from my part.
Lot of garbage thanks no. And for contract which only T-Mobile makes profit from. Not customers.

Tommy Hanson, ex-MLB pitcher, dies suddenly at 29
Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson delivers during the 1st inning of a game against the Pirates on Oct. 2, 2012. (AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar)
ATLANTA -- Former MLB pitcher Tommy Hanson has died, the Atlanta Braves confirmed late Monday night.
According to ESPN, the 29-year-old Hanson pitched five seasons in the major leagues, four with the Braves and one with the Los Angeles Angels in 2013 following a trade.
A group of Hanson's former teammates was nearby when he died at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta, a Braves representative told MLB.com.
Hanson had been in a coma, according to multiple reports.
A source told WSB-TV, the ABC affiliate in Atlanta, that Hanson had trouble breathing early Sunday morning and was taken to a hospital. He suffered catastrophic organ failure, multiple sources told the TV station.
Hanson was selected by the Braves in the 22nd round of the 2005 draft and once was considered the top prospect in the organization.
However, after posting a 2.89 ERA over 21 starts in his rookie season of 2009, Hanson slipped each season thereafter. He saw a gradual decline in his velocity and dealt with shoulder issues that kept him on the disabled list in 2011.
He made multiple comeback attempts, with the Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox and San Francisco Giants, but never caught on with a team.
He was 49-35 with a 3.80 ERA for his career.
MLB players, teams and fans took to social media to express their condolences.
The Braves posted this message to Twitter:

Even with all the criticism Polly Anna gets for her always cheerful attitude; I think she truly understood thanksgiving more than many a fine Christian person today. I used to sorta scoff the whole Polly Anna theory for lack of realness and for being too "idealistic". More and more though, I am beginning to realize her attitude for soundness as well as being "spot on" for what the Bible teaches.
Everyone knows how much God hated the whining and complaining the children of Israel did while He led them through the wilderness. He hated it so badly it was punishable by the ground opening up and swallowing people whole, among other great and terrible things He did to prove His point.
I thought I had learned a new word the other week when I bumped into this one...turns out though, its been around ages and has been floating around social media for the past five years or so.
I blame my own practice of "hygge" to just now be finding out about it. It became one of my favorite words once I read the meaning and since it has Nordic roots I felt I could identify with it immediately. Not that I know a lot about my Norwegian ancestors...somehow it has always felt very cool that I have a small portion of Norwegian in my blood. That is beside the point.
I remember as a child I struggled for words to describe the emotion attached to snuggling a hot cup of cocoa in mittened hands after a moonlit evening of sledding with the cousins.
I've been thinking about serving and how tired I get doing it. School teachers know how any given day can leave them completely drained. Actually, anyone serving in any capacity knows about the tiredness and feelings of exhaustion...schoolteachers aren't special in this.
Do you know what that man said? He said, "Umm, actually you do. It's a part of your job to see that they behave themselves and learn. And boys will be boys." I think this man of mine is good for me.
We were in the middle of Math class yesterday when I felt a sudden burden to stop everything and pray for my friend who is in Ukraine going through the legal work to bring home a son. I wavered and felt stupid for one second then decided to listen to this urging and just... Do It!
Afterward I wondered, why do I even waver? What makes me want to question prompts of the Holy Spirit? Why would I even stumble over the fact that thatis what is taking place?
Later in the day, I watched a sweet student receive a fresh new school book. First she ran her hands over the front, appreciating the clean, crisp cover, then she brought the book up to her face and inhaled the paper, her eyes closed. Suddenly her eyes flicked open with a look of self awareness. You could almost see the thought flutter across her face, "Did anyone see me do that?"

Should You Be Starting or Expanding Your Advisory Board?
If you scratched your head on any of these questions, this might be a great time for you to start or build on your advisory board. An advisory board gives you access to a group of experts specifically for the purposes of growing, expanding and innovating your business, but has no voting rights.
Canadian mining company GWR Resources recently added three new members to its advisory board. Two of the members have strong environmental and engineering experience, while one had a corporate background. "As GWR looks to a future of growth, it's vital that the company get timely insight and knowledge from experts who know and appreciate our business," President & CEO David H. Brett said in a public statement.
Here are 5 tips for getting the most out of your advisory board.
Meet regularly and set goals for each meeting.
Interview and "hire" the right people, don't take anyone who is willing.
Provide some type of compensation. It doesn't have to be cash. It can be stock, or just food and expenses. Be creative.
Keep the dialogue going all year. Email, phone, a blog. Find ways to keep the threat alive between meetings.
A board of directors is busy with critical business functions. An advisory board, on the other hand, is free to explore and innovate. The former keeps your business alive, but the latter can help keep it moving forward.

Singer-songwriter duo Eric & Happie are the headlining this year's Silicon Valley Jewish Music Festival. (Photo/ericandhappie.com)
'Camping' and Jewish indie folk at Silicon Valley Jewish Music Festival
By Gabe Stutman | May 28, 2019
The Silicon Valley Jewish Music Festival is coming up, and this year's theme is "camping" — though there will be no actual overnight camping, a popular feature at many outdoor music festivals.
The eighth annual event will take place from 2 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, June 2, on the sports field at the Addison-Penzak JCC in Los Gatos. There will be three bands, food trucks, a wine and beer garden and song circles (between acts) around what event organizers describe as an "artificial campfire."
Consistent with the camping theme, kids activities will include fishing and bird watching games, "solar cooking" of s'mores, and a "campsite" with tents, hammocks and a slackline (tightrope).
According to the JCC's Maya Jacobson, wine will be provided by Hagafen Cellars of Napa Valley and beer likely will come from Lagunitas Brewing Company. Eating options will include items from food trucks Falafel Fresh and Crepe 'Em Coming, plus other vendors (not included in the admission price).
As for the music, the band RocKid will kick things off at 2:30 p.m. RocKid is a family-oriented band that plays Israeli childhood classics.
Up next, at 4 p.m., will be three members of Pharaoh's Daughter, a New York-based band that plays "neo-Hasidic world music" with a "lush Mediterranean genre-bending sound," according to a band synopsis.
The headliner this year, set to take the stage at 5:30 p.m., is the singer-songwriter duo Eric & Happie from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Eric Hunker and Happie Hoffman blend "folk harmonies with indie sensibilities," according to a band description, with "melodies inspired by the warm harmonies of American folk music" and "the contagious hooks of modern indie pop." They will play songs from their debut Jewish indie folk album, "Hamavdil," and adding to the festival's "camp" theme, they met at Jewish summer camp in Pennsylvania in 2008.
The festival will be held at the Addison-Penzak JCC, 14855 Oka Road, Los Gatos. Tickets are $15 in advance or $18 at the door, with discounts for seniors, students and APJCC members. Children under 6 are free, and free parking is available in the JCC parking lot. Attendees should bring blankets or lawn chairs and some cash, as most vendors don't accept credit cards. More info at apjcc.org.

I am looking for some information on how Sabayon is built from Gentoo. I want to help with development (particularly systemd-love) but am also doing some fun stuff with molecule. I figure if I want to do it right I should start from the ground up and to do so replicate the setup at home.
In particular, is it just a stage 3 tarball with a Sabayon overlay and packages installed from there? I have been looking at the molecule scripts for spinbase and that could be my best guess but a little "push" would be greatly appreciated and I would be more than happy to document the process.
Hello. I was interested in this subject but I didn't get too much help. When I was trying molecule the first times, I saw the strategy livecd in the spinbase spec. Looking at the git I guess that SAbayon do his own kernel and genkernel, own overlay, installer... and the molecules spinbase spec and scripts are doing the same process that you are doing in a computer to install a gentoo system, only I don't see the stage tarball in git. it must be in the sabayon servers. But I think that is the same process like gentoo or funtoo.

NY's 1st Female Attorney General Closes Her Surprise Tenure
Photo Credit - Chris Hondros / Getty Images
NEW YORK (AP) — For a decade, Barbara Underwood was an apolitical force in New York, quietly serving as solicitor general before getting an unexpected promotion to become the state's first female attorney general.
Now, the 74-year-old Democrat, who abruptly ascended to the office after a scandal felled her predecessor, is going back to her old job after a nearly eight-month turn in the spotlight.
This time she will be serving under another woman, Letitia James, another Democrat who was sworn into the job in Albany late Monday night.
Underwood will be able to look back on a record as a leading antagonist of President Donald Trump — if only briefly.
She sued to put Trump's charitable foundation out of business, accusing him of running it as a wing of his private businesses and political campaign. Underwood also used the courts to challenge his administration on a multitude of policy fronts, including opposing its push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.
Those attacks earned Underwood scorn from Trump. In a tweet, he bristled that she "does little else but rant, rave & politic against me."
Underwood, who has never held elected office and declined to run for the attorney general's job, always said that politics had nothing to do with it. And she said she's content to be going back to the lower-profile job of solicitor general.
"I like that role, and so I'm happy to go back to doing it," she told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I have come to like this too. It's not that I'm eager to leave this, but I'm very happy to be going on to something that I know I like."
Underwood was appointed attorney general by the state legislature in May after the surprise resignation of Eric Schneiderman, who quit just hours after The New Yorker posted a story in which four women accused him of slapping or choking them. Schneiderman later apologized to his accusers; the special prosecutor who investigated the allegations declined to bring criminal charges.
Underwood said Schneiderman's May 7 resignation came without warning.
When the night started, she said, all she and her colleagues knew was that a news article about him was about to be published.
"I had no idea that this particular event was going to happen until it happened," Underwood said.
They went to a bar to wait for what came next. Schneiderman announced he would resign and a colleague told Underwood: "It looks like you're going to be the next attorney general. Are you ready?"
"I thought, 'OK here we go. Let's not lose any time. Let's not lose any morale, any energy," Underwood said. "There was no time lag for me, and I didn't want there to be a time limit for anyone else."
She said the big change was having to deal with the media.
Underwood didn't seek election to a full term, clearing the way for James, the New York City public advocate, to seek the office. Not facing a campaign likely gave Underwood more flexibility, former state attorney general Dennis Vacco said.
"She had an independence and a freedom that wasn't tethered to the will of the people and the ballot box," Vacco, a Republican said. "She leaves a rather stable environment for AG-elect James to come into now."
James, who also made history as the first black woman elected to statewide office in New York, praised Underwood for doing an "excellent job."
Aside from challenging Trump, Underwood negotiated civil settlements with hospitals that she accused of wrongly billing rape victims for evidence kits, sued Exxon, claiming that it was misleading investors about climate change, and investigated phony public comments submitted to the Federal Communications Commission over internet regulation.
The job is the high mark, so far, of a career that Underwood said didn't always "go in a straight line."
She has taught law at Yale and was a law clerk for Thurgood Marshall, the first black Supreme Court justice, and for David Bazelon, the former chief judge of the D.C. Court of Appeals. She worked as an assistant district attorney and federal prosecutor in Brooklyn, and was a top deputy to U.S. Solicitor General Seth Waxman during President Bill Clinton's administration. She was also the nation's acting solicitor general for six months in 2001, the first woman in that post.
Underwood has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court 20 times.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who hired Underwood as solicitor general in 2007, praised her "brilliant legal mind" and professionalism.
Underwood said it was an honor to have gotten a chance to serve.

Ago 5, 2013 | Informática y Software, Telecom
Internacional (Marketwired, 05 de Agosto de 2013) PeakColo, a leading enterprise-class IaaS Cloud service provider for channel partners, announces today it has established a distributor relationship with Avnet Technology Solutions, a global IT solutions distribution leader. By leveraging key relationships with top distributors in the technology sector such as Avnet in its Americas region, Peak expands the availability of its award-winning cloud services platform to Value Added Resellers (VARs) nationwide.Peak delivers on-demand compute, storage and network resources, which channel partners utilize to offer cloud-enabled solutions such as private and hybrid cloud, disaster recovery, backup, and storage in the cloud. Peak's cloud nodes, stretching coast to coast as well as in the UK, are accessed via layer two direct connections, further improving reliability, speed, and ease of deployment.
Avnet's first cloud service powered by Peak is based on NetApp® Private Storage for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and is available as an on-demand solution. The Avnet CloudAttach Shared offering provides enterprises the ability to consume storage via an OPEX model leveraging Peak's significant cloud storage infrastructure.
In addition, channel partners can purchase Avnet's Cloud Accelerator Program Powered by Peak. This program enables Avnet partners the ability to white-label Peak's infrastructure in order to offer a full array of cloud-enabled service offerings, based on Open Compute or Cisco UCS FlexPod-based compute infrastructure and NetApp storage.
"Our new relationship with PeakColo expands Avnet's portfolio of integrated and packaged cloud solutions, as well as adds a white-label program with innovative cloud infrastructures," states Tim FitzGerald, Vice President of Avnet Cloud Solutions, Avnet Services, Americas. "These solutions enable our partners to compete and differentiate themselves on value created for their customers. Peak's 100 percent channel-centric model is unique in the marketplace, and we know they will never compete with us via a direct sales force, which was key of our decision to collaborate with them."
"Demand for cloud services is growing at breakneck speeds. As more and more service providers offer cloud services to support customers' mission-critical workloads, we will see demand continue to rise," states Luke Norris, CEO and Founder of PeakColo. "The success of our channel-centric model rests upon the fact that partners can build and grow their cloud practice at their own pace without capital expenditure, minimal product development cycles, using best of breed technologies. By enabling business agility through high availability services, we can ensure positive results for our partners going forward."
Peak's enterprise-class cloud services platform has been recognized by NetApp Innovation Awards, Compuware's Top 25 Cloud Service Providers, TalkingCloud Top 100, and as a CRN top channel partner. In addition to flexible IaaS platforms, it also offers object-based storage, which handles petabytes of data in a cost effective way.
