In this guide you will see how to add a new call to Libindy. As an example we will take `indy_create_and_store_my_did` call.

Code will be splitted to the following layers:
* API layer - enter point to the library
* Commands layer - split complex operation into multiply atomic ones, call various services for atomic actions and join results from them
* Service layer - isolated against each-other services, process atomic operations

For more details please see [Layers of libindy description](../architecture/libindy_layers.md)

### API Layer

These changes should be made in directory [`libindy/src/api`](libindy/src/api) in file `did.rs`. For your function you should choose which file it will logically fit or create a new one (first option is preferred)

#### Call definition:
```rust
#[no_mangle]
pub extern fn indy_create_and_store_my_did(command_handle: CommandHandle,
                                           wallet_handle: WalletHandle,
                                           did_info: *const c_char,
                                           cb: Option<extern fn(command_handle_: CommandHandle,
                                                                err: ErrorCode,
                                                                did: *const c_char,
                                                                verkey: *const c_char)>) -> ErrorCode {
    // this will be done later
}
```
What you can modify here is function name and params.

There is only one strict rule for the function name -- it should have prefix `indy_` to avoid collisions with other libraries in system.

Rules for params:
1) First parameter is almost always `command_handle` -- you will need this param if your call will work asynchronously -- you will need it most of the times.
2) After the command handle list all of the params that you need to pass. Please, don't use `Option` on the types other than `extern fn`.
3) The last parameter is almost always `cb` -- it is a callback. Its first param should be `command_handle_` (for your app to identify which call this callback came for), then `err` for the error code and then all the values that you call is going to return.
4) Please, use the types that were defined in `libindy/src/api/mod.rs` such as `WalletHandle`, `PoolHandle` and so on for the types of your parameters.

#### Parameter checks:

```rust
trace!("indy_create_and_store_my_did: >>> wallet_handle: {:?}, did_json: {:?}", wallet_handle, did_info);

check_useful_json!(did_info, ErrorCode::CommonInvalidParam3, MyDidInfo); // redefine to MyDidInfo if valid
check_useful_c_callback!(cb, ErrorCode::CommonInvalidParam4);

trace!("indy_create_and_store_my_did: entities >>> wallet_handle: {:?}, did_json: {:?}", wallet_handle, secret!(&did_info));
```

For most C-types that need to be converted to Rust types Libindy has a set of macros that will check and convert it if everything is good or throw specified error code otherwise. You can see these macros in [`libindy\src\utils\ctypes.rs`](libindy\src\utils\ctypes.rs)

### Passing command to Command Thread

#### Adding new command

For that you should go to [`libindy/src/commands`](libindy/src/commands) directory and choose a module that fits your call. Most of the times it matches by the name to the module from the previous section. In our case it is `did.rs`.

Here you will find an enum named like `SomeCommand`, `DidCommand` in our case. Here you have to add a new variant. In our case it will look like this:

```rust
CreateAndStoreMyDid(
    WalletHandle,
    MyDidInfo, // my did info
    Box<Fn(IndyResult<(String, String)>) + Send>),
```

It has params that you have passed to the function and a callback to return values.

#### Sending the command

In our API call we need to add some code to pass the command we just created:
```rust
let result = CommandExecutor::instance()
    .send(Command::Did(DidCommand::CreateAndStoreMyDid(
        wallet_handle,
        did_info,
        Box::new(move |result| {
            // here goes a call to the callback that you have passed
        }),
    )));
```
`CommandExecutor` is a holder of a channel to communicate with the Command Thread.

#### Receiving the command

In a module with commands you will find a struct named like `SomeCommandExecutor`. In our case it will be `DidCommandExecutor`.
Here you should add a new function for your business logic and a new match clause to the function `execute`. In our case it will look like this:

```rust
    pub fn execute(&self, command: DidCommand) {
        match command {
            // some other clauses
            DidCommand::CreateAndStoreMyDid(wallet_handle, my_did_info, cb) => {
                debug!("CreateAndStoreMyDid command received");
                cb(self.create_and_store_my_did(wallet_handle, &my_did_info));
            }
        }
    }
    // some other functions
    fn create_and_store_my_did(&self,
                               wallet_handle: WalletHandle,
                               my_did_info: &MyDidInfo) -> IndyResult<(String, String)> {
        debug!("create_and_store_my_did >>> wallet_handle: {:?}, my_did_info_json: {:?}", wallet_handle, secret!(my_did_info));

        let (did, key) = self.crypto_service.create_my_did(&my_did_info)?;

        if self.wallet_service.record_exists::<Did>(wallet_handle, &did.did)? {
            return Err(err_msg(IndyErrorKind::DIDAlreadyExists, did.did));
        };

        self.wallet_service.add_indy_object(wallet_handle, &did.did, &did, &HashMap::new())?;
        self.wallet_service.add_indy_object(wallet_handle, &key.verkey, &key, &HashMap::new())?;

        let res = (did.did, did.verkey);

        debug!("create_and_store_my_did <<< res: {:?}", res);

        Ok(res)
    }
```
In the function you should put business logic of your call.
Notice, that if you have some functionality that can be reused later by other commands, you should put it into the service and execute service call in the function.

Services should stay independent from each other. You can include Services into CommandExecutors.

Who are the mystery Republican senators who would vote for marriage equality?
TinyMart is sharing this content, the original was posted on lgbtqnation.com by John Russell, Tuesday, July 26, 2022, So please click here to go there
Mitch McConnell?!?
By John Russell Tuesday, July 26, 2022

The U.S. Senate was expected to vote on the Respect for Marriage Act this week. The bill, which was passed in the House last week with the support of 47 Republicans, is intended to enshrine the right to same-sex as well as interracial marriage into law, following the Supreme Court's decision striking down Roe v. Wade and Justice Clarence Thomas's call for the court to reconsider Obergefell v. Hodges.
The Respect for Marriage Act would officially repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the 1996 law that forbade the federal government from legally recognizing same-sex marriages. In its place, the act would require the federal and state governments to recognize same-sex marriages as long as they occurred in states that offer them. If any state refuses to recognize such marriages, the act says, the spouses can sue.

Senate Democrats need to pick up 10 Republican votes to overcome the filibuster, and several key GOP lawmakers have signaled their support for the bill. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rob Portman (R-OH) have said they will vote for it, while Sens. Thom Tillis (R-NC), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have all signaled that they will likely vote for the bill. Others, like Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and even Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have declined to flat out oppose the bill. McConnell is in an interracial marriage.
With 10 Republican votes potentially within reach—something that seems almost unimaginable given the political climate in recent years—LGBTQ advocacy organizations are doing everything they can to get the Respect for Marriage Act passed. With only a few GOP votes left to secure, activists have made a concerted push to get the bill to the finish line. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was expected to call for a cloture vote this week, but with three Democrats along with Murkowski testing positive for COVID-19, that's less certain.
So which Republican senators are being targeted as potential yes votes?
"There's obviously a unique importance to passing this law in the South where I think every single state has either a statutory or a constitutional amendment on the books that if Obergefell were to be overturned, they would all take effect right away," Campaign for Southern Equality communications director Adam Polaski told LGBTQ Nation. "We're encouraging people to really speak that story to their federal officials and explain that this is their responsibility to protect the freedom to marry."
To that end, the organization recently launched its new Meeting the Moment initiative, in part to help codify existing Supreme Court decisions like those in Obergefell, Windsor, and Lawrence v. Texas into law. They've set up an action page on Campaign for Southern Equality's website where people can quickly and easily contact their Senators.
"We have a few supporters who are meeting with their senators directly," Polaski says. "We have a supporter today who is a Republican, he's the father of a gay daughter, who is really fired up about this and was excited to meet with Tom Tillis, and he just met with [North Carolina Senator] Richard Burr, and show them that they have Republican support behind this and this won't be a controversial vote for them."
Polaski says he's optimistic about the Respect for Marriage Act's chances, pointing to polling that indicates strong support for marriage equality even among Republican voters.
"I think we stand as good of a shot as ever of getting this through."
Along with Tillis, Polaski thinks Burr could be another potential yes vote.
"Senator Burr voted with us to repeal the Don't Ask Don't Tell policy in 2011. So, he's a retiring senator, we hope that he would be excited to leave his legacy of doing the right thing before he leaves office. We hope to see him join Tillis in voting yes."
West Virginia Senator Shelly Moore Capito is another Republican Polaski thinks needs to hear from LGBTQ constituents and allies.
"She's taken meetings about the Equality Act and has been engaged on this. I think she's spoken about the LGBT people in her life. I hope she goes the way of Rob Portman and is able to see that the LGBT people in her life want her to vote for this and she'll do the right thing."
Polaski also hopes that the Respect for Marriage Act will get more voters energized about other LGBTQ issues.
"We should use it as a tool to bring folks in and remind them of the passion that they felt about the freedom to marry, and also remind them that the work is not over and people are facing discrimination all the time outside of their marriages," he explains. "We hope that folks who are newly activated around this…can also dig in and get behind the Equality Act and the Trans Bill of Rights. All the other things that we need to codify. There's more to do than protect what we've already won."

Q: Performance differences between transpiled ES2017 and compiled TypeScript? I asked myself, if on a certain point any performance differences occure for transpiled ES2017+ and compiled TypeScript?
This thought bubbled up, while considering the resulting JS, which is quite different (TypeScript's JS seems more straightforward, though).
ES2017 code
class TestClass {
  constructor(valueA) {
    this.valueA = valueA;
  }

  getValueA() {
   return this.valueA;
  }
}

Becomes
"use strict";

var _createClass = function () { function defineProperties(target, props) { for (var i = 0; i < props.length; i++) { var descriptor = props[i]; descriptor.enumerable = descriptor.enumerable || false; descriptor.configurable = true; if ("value" in descriptor) descriptor.writable = true; Object.defineProperty(target, descriptor.key, descriptor); } } return function (Constructor, protoProps, staticProps) { if (protoProps) defineProperties(Constructor.prototype, protoProps); if (staticProps) defineProperties(Constructor, staticProps); return Constructor; }; }();

function _classCallCheck(instance, Constructor) { if (!(instance instanceof Constructor)) { throw new TypeError("Cannot call a class as a function"); } }

var TestClass = function () {
  function TestClass(valueA) {
    _classCallCheck(this, TestClass);

    this.valueA = valueA;
  }

  _createClass(TestClass, [{
    key: "getValueA",
    value: function getValueA() {
      return this.valueA;
    }
  }]);

  return TestClass;
}();

TypeScript code
class TestClass {
  valueA: any;
  constructor(valueA) {
    this.valueA = valueA;
  }

  getValueA() {
   return this.valueA;
  }
}

Becomes
var TestClass = /** @class */ (function () {
    function TestClass(valueA) {
        this.valueA = valueA;
    }
    TestClass.prototype.getValueA = function () {
        return this.valueA;
    };
    return TestClass;
}());

A: Of course there are performance differences between the two outputs you quoted, although those performance differences are unlikely to matter. Babel's output uses several function calls, checks for various things, etc. TypeScript's output doesn't.
It's worth noting that the reason Babel does what it does is to do its best to ensure the correctness of the code it outputs. ES2015's class requires checks like requiring that the constructor be called via new or super; TypeScript's transpiled code doesn't do that.
Some of Babel's transforms have a "loose" mode that lets them output code that isn't technically correct, but results in faster code and in most cases has the same end result that correct code would have. For instance, if you use es2015-loose instead of es2015 on that code, you get this (I've done some word-wrapping):
"use strict";

function _classCallCheck(instance, Constructor) {
    if (!(instance instanceof Constructor)) {
        throw new TypeError("Cannot call a class as a function");
    }
}

var TestClass = function () {
  function TestClass(valueA) {
    _classCallCheck(this, TestClass);

    this.valueA = valueA;
  }

  TestClass.prototype.getValueA = function getValueA() {
    return this.valueA;
  };

  return TestClass;
}();

...which is much more similar to the TypeScript output.

MLB trade rumors: Astros unwilling to move this prospect in deal for Tigers' Matthew Boyd
Written By E.Jay Zarett
(Getty Images) https://images.performgroup.com/di/library/omnisport/e1/a2/boyd-matthew-usnews-070219-ftr-getty_1trwbyk310lhg1en6i8gpfgupk.jpg?t=-1264373101&w=500&quality=80
The Astros are interested in dealing for Tigers starter Matthew Boyd. But, only at the right price.
Houston is unwilling to include outfielder Kyle Tucker in a potential trade for the 28-year-old left-hander, according to a report from MLB Network, which cites an unidentified league source.
#Astros have interest in Matthew Boyd but source says they are indicating (for now, at least) that they won't put Kyle Tucker in the deal. #Tigers asked for Tucker in the Verlander talks, too, and received a similar response from Jeff Luhnow. @MLBNetwork @MLB
- Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 1, 2019
The Astros selected Tucker, 22, with the fifth pick in the 2015 draft. He made his MLB debut last season and slashed .141/.236/.203 in 64 at-bats over 28 games.
Tucker is the No. 2 prospect in the Astros organization, according to MLB.com.
MLB trade rumors: Mets open to moving Todd Frazier, Jason Vargas
MLB trade rumors: Tigers want Yankees star Gleyber Torres for Matthew Boyd
MLB trade rumors: Who are 4 relievers Red Sox could pursue?
Houston entered play Tuesday with a 6 1/2 game lead in the American League West. They've won five of their last seven after suffering through a seven-game losing streak in mid-to-late June
Boyd, meanwhile, is in the middle of a career season and holds a 5-6 record with a 3.72 ERA in 17 starts so far in 2019. He has struck out 129 and walked 20 in 101 2/3 innings pitched.
Detroit is believed to be looking for "multiple impact prospects" in exchange for Boyd, according to an earlier report from MLB.com.
"It's just noise, right?" Boyd said about the trade rumors last month, via MLB.com. "There's no action that needs to be taken or anything. It's just stuff that's out of my control, and really no stock needs to go into it until something happens. So, there's nothing I can do."
Detroit is also willing to listen to offers for slugger Nicholas Castellanos and Shane Greene, along with "virtually any veteran on its roster," according to MLB Network.
"The guys that should be worried are the guys that no one is interested in," Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire said in June. "So, when people care, and your name is being thrown around, it ought to flatter you. That's what I throw out there. Just be happy that someone wants you in this game."
The Tigers are well out of playoff contention with a 27-52 record. The Yankees and Brewers have also been linked to Boyd.


This morning we have just three items in the landfill. It's been a good week. It's amazing how much they weigh though.
None of the items this week are 'regulars' and one is a bit of a dustbin demon.
We have a plastic Jif container (it's still called Jif in my part of the world, regardless of what the manufacturer tries to tell me).
We hardly ever use products like this – I prefer to make my own from vinegar, lemons and bicarbonate of soda but we do have an 'emergency' bottle of bleach and Jif in the house. Some habits take a looooong time to break and next week you'll learn about our new resident at Chez Green and why a bottle of Jif comes in handy at the moment.
Although the old plastic packaging is a code number 2, we cannot recycle it here. The only plastic bottles we can recycle are drinks, washing up liquid and milk bottles. Don't ask me why, I've never really had a good answer on this one. Something was mumbled to me about 'constitution of plastic' by a rep at the council the other week.
The second item was a present from the tooth fairy. It was a fruit smoothie pouch. It's made from a kind of plastic with a foil backing and has a thick plastic lid. The tooth fairies didn't have time to do their usual baking because this fourth offering from Little Miss Green's mouth was totally unexpected so they clearly had to do a quick scout around of their secret stores to see what gift they could find.
Personally I think Little Miss Green was a bit short of cash so heaved and pulled until this sparkly white majestic tooth came out. I would have put another month on it to come out naturally……..
The third item is a real landfill rogue. Mr Green put a new plug socket in our lounge and was left with a load of useless bits of wire – copper inside plastic. We were thinking how many of these offcuts we must produce as a nation in the course of a year. I can imagine an electrician would have metres of the stuff, all in tiny pieces which are good for nothing.
So, although low in numbers, the weight is pretty hefty with 80 gms. I have a target now of less than 100gms per week since our zero waste challenge so we're still within target range.
If you send your bottles to me, I can recycle them here – 20 miles away!! I do wish they would get a county wide policy sorted!
I recieved my rubbish book too today in a 'green' jiffy, one I can't wait to use again. many thanks to Ecooutlet. 🙂 And to the Family Green.
and my oh brought me Tracey Smiths book as a late bd pressie a signed copy none the less, so lots of reading to do. while out on his mission for me he bumped into a friend who said a bout a zero waste meeting happening here soon. (W. Dorset) he also went to check out Traceys book.
Poppy, that is unbelievable. No wonder people are so confused with recycling. You be careful what you wish for; I might just stick it in the post to you LOL!
We can recycle all plastic bottles too. I cant get an answer out of my council (emails will not get through to them)as to whether i can put: greetings card, wrapping paper shreaded paper in my kerbside collection!!!!!
I can't believe that you have restrictions on what you can and can't recycle in your area. When I used to live in an apartment, we had no recycling services. We had to make the trek down to the recycling center and sort all of our goods in order to do the deed. What a pain! I wonder how many more people would recycle if it was as easy as taking out the trash.
Where have all the rag and bone men gone… with ebay etc would it be worth it for someone to collect all these bits of copper and other misc items?
Have just found your site, I really enjoyed reading about Mrs Averages rubbish diet earlier in the year.
I do think about all the rubbish issues, Mrs A's visit to a landfill is often in my mind when I do put something in the bin. I need to make some fundamental changes to my life… my daughter is addicted to Ella's, so that's got to stop, and my cleaner loves her 'products', I'm quite scared of her, so that's going to be a challenge. But if you can do it so can I… I think!
We seem to have some Polish fellas going round on a flat bed truck collecting scrap metal. I wondered what on earth they were shouting and I'm still none the wiser, but I'm told that's what they're doing.
Hi Sally, it's good that you can recycle all plastics in your area. Over here we can't recycle shredded paper and I don't think they like wrapping paper, but you can usually find somewhere that will recycle cards. I think WHSmiths took them back last year.
Hello Greenofficeblog, welcome to the site. I agree with you that I'm sure more people would recycle if it were easier to do. People want convenience and recent WRAP statistics show that a large percentage of people would recycle more with kerbside collections. I don't mind taking my stuff to the recycling centre because it is on the way to a weekly errand anyway, but it's counterproductive if you need to make a special journey.
Welcome Dextrington. Mrs A's Rubbish Diet certainly makes for inspirational reading and shows us all what we can achieve with a little foresight, homework and planning. We rarely buy smoothies, I make my own now. Not as convenient as buying the Ellas, but there is no packaging to dispose of and they are MUCH cheaper! Plus, of course, they are nutritionally better because they are served fresh. Despite good claims, I doubt a pack of Ellas has much vitamin and mineral content.
Would your cleaner switch to Ecover, which might be refillable in your area? I think the thing to keep in mind is that you are paying her to provide you with a service. So, you don't need to be scared of her, you are **employing** her, which means you can choose which products she uses. Keep us up to date on your progress; I'd love to hear about the changes you make.
How interesting about the Polish 'rag and bone' men, Poppy. Balloons! I didn't realise you were paid in balloons for your childhood work LOL!

Il Sogno di Rhonabwy (gallese: Breuddwyd Rhonabwy) è un racconto medio gallese.

Ambientato durante il regno di Madog ap Maredudd (m. 1160), principe di Powys, è datato alla fine del XII o all'inizio del XIII secolo. Ci è giunto in un solo manoscritto: il Libro rosso di Hergest. La storia narra la visione avuta in sogno da Rhonabwy, un seguace di Madoc, dei tempi di re Artù.

Racconto
Madog manda Rhonabwy e due compagni a cercare Iorwerth, fratello ribelle del principe. Una notte cercano riparo da Heilyn il Rosso, ma trovano la sua casa sudicia e i letti pieni di pulci. Sdraiandosi su una pelle di bue gialla, Rhonabwy ha una visione di re Artù e dei suoi tempi. A fargli da guida è un seguace di Artù: Iddawg "la Zangola di Britannia", così chiamato perché provocò la Battaglia di Camlann distorcendo i messaggi di pace del re che era stato incaricato di consegnare a Medrawd (Mordred). Iddawg introduce Rhonabwy e i suoi amici ad Artù, che si dispiace che il Galles sia stato ereditato da così miseri uomini.

Iddawg rivela che gli uomini di Artù sono radunati per incontrare i Sassoni alla Battaglia di Badon Hill. Ma Artù è maggiormente preoccupato per la partita di gwyddbwyll (gioco simile agli scacchi) contro il suo seguace Owain mab Urien (Ywain). Mentre giocano, arrivano dei messaggeri che dichiarano che gli scudieri di Artù stanno attaccando i corvi di Owain. Quando Owain chiede di fermarli, Artù risponde: «A Voi la mossa». Owain ordina ai suoi corvi di attaccare i servitori di Artù. Quando Artù chiede di richiamarli, Owain risponde: «A Voi la mossa, Signore». Alla fine Artù riduce in polvere i pezzi degli scacchi e i due dichiarano pace. Allora i Sassoni mandano un contingente per chiedere  una tregua. Artù, seguendo i suoi consiglieri, accetta. Cai (Sir Kay) dichiara che chi desidera seguire Artù dovrebbe venire in Cornovaglia. Il rumore di movimenti di truppe sveglia Rhonabwy che scopre di aver dormito per tre giorni.

Interpretazione
Il Sogno di Rhonabwy è aperto a molte interpretazioni. Da una parte deride i tempi di Madoc, che viene criticamente paragonato con l'epoca di re Artù. Ma i tempi di Artù sono descritti come illogici e sciocchi. Sembra che l'opera sia una satira dei tempi contemporanei e dell'epoca mitica.

Il Sogno di Rhonabwy è il più letterario dei racconti medievali gallesi. Forse è stato anche l'ultimo ad essere stato scritto. Una nota finale dichiara che nessuno è in grado di recitare l'intero lavoro senza un libro poiché il livello del dettaglio è troppo per la memoria. Il commento suggerisce che non era popolare tra i cantastorie, anche se ciò era dovuto probabilmente alla sua posizione di racconto letterario piuttosto che tradizionale.

Carbonells Postpone Judging Until October; Creates Open Input On Reforms & Diversity
Posted on November 27, 2020 by Bill Hirschman
By Bill Hirschman
The Carbonell Awards program is taking an intermission on judging shows until the fall of 2021, using the time to reinvent itself, including actively soliciting suggestions from the community and committing to increasing diversity on its board and panels.
The board of directors agreed Monday to several initiatives to cope with the elimination of most live theater due to the COVID-19 pandemic and also the criticism from the theater community about processes and diversity, which crested in August but had been building for a few years.
The awards honoring excellence in South Florida theater will resume evaluating eligible shows in October, a news release announced Friday. The board had decided in September to not consider pre-pandemic productions mounted during the first quarter of this year.
The future eligibility period will change from the calendar year to Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022. The next gala awards ceremony is penciled in for November 2022 or later.
"As we announced in September, the Carbonell Awards is committed to using this pandemic timeout for reflection, re-imagination and re-invigoration of our 44-year bond with South Florida's professional theaters," wrote board President Donald R. Walters.
"During this extensive review and revision process, we understand that everything is on the table," said Walters. "Please remember that we all share the identical goal of quickly reviving and constantly celebrating a strong, proud, talented, diverse, and inclusive theatrical community."
This year, the gala originally had been scheduled for April 6 in which theater artists, patrons and fans gather annually in their finery for the premier socializing reunion of the theater season, nicknamed Theater Prom. But COVID 19 forced the non-profit board to postpone the event until August when the ceremony was created online and broadcast over You Tube. To view it, click here.
More than a dozen normally eligible productions had opened during the first few months of 2020, such as Thinking Cap Theatre's Happy Days, Slow Burn Theatre's Groundhog Day and Zoetic Stage's American Son. But the mid-March shutdown came just as even more theaters were within weeks, days, even hours of opening new shows.
Further, while many companies have been experimenting with staged readings and productions online that would not be eligible under current guidelines, a few companies currently have penciled in normally eligible live productions mounted inside auditoriums on dates for next month and all the way through next summer – if COVID, audience confidence and local regulations permit. None of those would be considered for the next round of awards under the new guidelines.
The board did not publicly cite it as a factor, but many of the volunteers who initially view and recommend work, as well as some of the ultimate judges who vote, are above the age that places them in added danger of the virus and some have what the CDC considers underlying conditions.
Another significant initiative announced Friday is "launching a systematic review and revision of the current award eligibility requirements, recognition guidelines and organizational rubrics to simplify and make more transparent the entire process," the news release stated.
The in-house process will run from January through May. The reforms are planned to be fully implemented before the October resumption, the news release stated.
A key element invites local theaters and interested individuals, including current recommendation panelists and judges, "to join in this hands-on revision process" through a series of once-a-month 90-minute Zoom meetings slated for Mondays at 7:30 p.m.
*** January 11 – The Award Process
*** February 8 – Production Eligibility Requirements
*** March 8 – Resident Theater Eligibility Rules & Regulations
*** April 12 – Specific Award Eligibility Requirements
*** May 3 – Recommendation Panel & Judges
Any member of the South Florida theatrical community interested in participating in any or all of the five "input meetings" on Zoom should email Gary Schweikhart at gary@pr-bs.net and they will be added to the evite list before each session.
The board plans to meet after each month's online public meetings to evaluate and possibly take action on the topics discussed at the previous Zoom meeting.
The release also cited a commitment "to increase diversity and fairness in structure and community outreach, including more diverse board members, recommendation panelists and judges, while encouraging new and diverse voices, genres, aesthetics and perspectives."
Further, the board agreed to "supporting local theaters as they actively implement their own strengthened diversity goals, both on-stage and backstage, which will inevitably be reflected in future Carbonell nominations and awards."
It follows an announcement in September that the board was "actively exploring… training for staff, panelists, judges and board members which encompasses anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-ableist, anti-ageist and anti-homophobic practices." Board member Leslie Fordham, Public Art & Design Administrator for the Broward Cultural Division in Fort Lauderdale, agreed to chair a new Equity-Diversity-Inclusion Committee.
All this occurs against a background of growing discontent among local theater artists who have nurtured a love-hate view of the awards, underscored by five companies withdrawing their work from consideration over the past 14 months: Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Primal Forces in Boca Raton, MNM Theatre Company in West Palm Beach, the Wick Theatre in Boca Raton, and City Theatre in Miami withdrawing its Summer Shorts program.
Many local theater artists say they revere the honor and appreciate the acclaim, attention and affirmation. At least two theaters have displayed the egg-shaped awards in glass cases. Many recipients list the award on resumes, grant applications, advertising, newsletters to patrons and cite it in Playbill bios even when they appear on Broadway.
But inherently, many artists loathe the idea of art involved in a competition, especially for a "best" designation among artistically diverse nominees that they feel are literally un-comparable.
Some have claimed the selection of the winners reflect prejudices, grudges, friendships and hidebound mainstream attitudes of nominators and judges. Some say the board has been unresponsive to concerns. Some say the nominators and judges lack sufficient expertise. Some questions have been raised about a potential conflict of interest because at least four houses represented on the board of directors are fiscal co-producers of shows in competition. But board members do not vote on nominations and recipients, only on policies, qualifications and procedures.
Board members and many of the nominator-judges steadfastly have denied such problems exist in reality, only in perceptions. Walters said the board has instituted several reforms and programmatic changes in response to theaters' concerns, such as liberalizing eligibility based on the number of performance and weekends so that some additional productions would be considered.
But while those concerns have simmered for several years, they gained momentum this year in some artists' reaction to the 2019 winners when Zoetic Stage of Miami swept 12 of the 20 awards.
Then in August, the Carbonells were criticized about perceived diversity problems in a letter sent to the board by the leaders of 12 companies and the South Florida Theatre League, echoing concerns being raised nationwide at the same time about the arts across America.
The letter listed several problems, but many targeted their contention that the Carbonells do not reflect the multi-cultural makeup of the communities being served.
It stated, "In keeping with Carbonell history, the past number of years have produced a clear majority of white, Anglo winners. In non-gendered categories that majority has been overwhelmingly male. Last year the Anglo majority was 100%. Results like these are troubling given that we live and work in one of the most diverse regions in the United States. We acknowledge that, to some degree, the awards are a reflection of the work that is produced, and there is certainly work to be done by us on that front."
This missive followed the 2019 Carbonell Awards in which nominations went to eight artists of color and 16 nominations in 20 overlapping categories to productions concerning race. African Americans Rita Cole took home an award as best supporting actress in a play for New City Players' production of A Raisin in the Sun and Justin M. Lewis won for choreography for Hot Shoe Shuffle. The year before, all of the winners in the performance and directing categories were white, as well as nearly every winning designer. The year before, four of the acting winners were African-American, and M Ensemble, the oldest functioning black play company in the state, was also awarded statues for Best Director and Best Production of a Play.
The board also agreed Monday to eliminate the position of Managing Director "at this time due to budgetary considerations," an administrative post held for several years by critic Mary Damiano.
The awards were created in 1976 by the South Florida Entertainment Writers' Association, Inc. (later called the South Florida Critics Circle) led by the late Jack Zink of the Sun Sentinel and Bill von Maurer of the Miami News.
The First Annual Theatre Circle Awards held its ceremony November 15, 1976, drawing about 175 people to the Diplomat Hotel Regency Ballroom.
In 1978, the program was renamed, retroactively, the Carbonell Awards in recognition of Manuel Carbonell, the Cuban-born Miami-based sculptor who donated the bronze gold- colored scooped-out eggs to every winner. Other than one year, his family has continued the practice.
A major change occurred in September 2002 when the critics stepped away as the corporate heads of the Carbonells. Critics continued to be involved as judges and administrators, but control of the non-profit corporation was ceded to a board of directors comprising theater champions in the community, and representatives of cultural agencies in all three counties and from all three major presenting houses.
The reason was that the effort had grown too large to be staffed by volunteers and the number of critics had already begun to shrink to a smaller pool. Zink continued as executive director and administrator until his death in 2008. Local producer Jay Harris had been donating heavily, but now the program sought out corporate and private donors.
The awards have not been without controversy. The highest-profile furor occurred in November 2008 when the board contemplated not holding the 2009 ceremony. The reasons given were the high price of gasoline, Zink's death, the declining number of critics and a falloff in donations due to the recession. The decision was reversed after an outcry from the theatrical community.

DARPA seeks proposals to advance RACER-Sim project
Serbia suspends military exercises due to 'EU pressure'
10 September 2020	(Last Updated September 10th, 2020 10:18)
Serbia has suspended all military exercises with foreign partners for six months citing 'tremendous' pressure from the European Union (EU).

The move comes just a day before the beginning of Slavic Brotherhood 2020 military exercise in Belarus, in which Serbia was scheduled to participate.
According to news reports, Serbia was pressurised by the EU to withdraw from the exercise.
In a statement, Serbian Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin said: "The pressures that make no sense and are not grounded in our decisions or our actions, or even in reality, are the result of hysteria, which determines political decisions and directions of great and powerful countries.
"We are required to suspend the planned military exercises with Belarus at the cost of abandoning our European future and at the cost of even greater pressure on our policy, but also on our people in Kosovo and Metohija and Republika Srpska."
According to the government decision, Serbia will not participate in any international military activity with any country in the following six months to preserve its neutrality.
Furthermore, Serbia's participation in peacekeeping operations will be considered and if required will also remain suspended.
Minister Vulin added: "The process of equipping and strengthening our armed forces will not be stopped, and we will work to increase our combat readiness harder and more persistently than ever.
"This is the only way to preserve neutrality and this painful decision obliges us to rely solely on ourselves and our own strength."
Belarus is marred by public protests following a disputed presidential election last month. The incident widened the rift between Russia-backed Belarus and Nato.
Earlier this month, Lithuania, another Belarus neighbour, announced that the US will send a larger unit for a military exercise. The deployment will continue until November this year.

The word is Entertaining. Could you use it in a sentence please? The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Spelling Bee) is funny and entertaining. Entertaining. E-N-T-E-R-T-A-I-N-I-N-G. Entertaining.

The Alliance Theatre's latest production is a delight. William Finn and Rachel Sheinkin's musical about seven nerdy pre-teens competing in the county spelling bee has a poignancy that remind us that winning isn't always everything. In addition to the adolescents, three audience volunteers also compete. This gets the audience even more engaged by cheering on their favorites. But the real reason Spelling Bee works well lies in the actors' abilities to present the eccentric, spelling-obsessed challengers as individuals who we grow to care for as we learn they, like most of us, just want to be liked and accepted.
The contestants, each with their individual quirks and personal issues, stand in front of a microphone and spell words words including "crepuscule," "capybara," and "chimerical." Certain words generate memories for the contestants.
In addition to the contestants, there are the equally quirky adults: former spelling bee champion and now realtor Rona Lisa Peretti (Rachel Gray), who is still reliving her moment of triumph; the Vice Principal and slightly creepy Douglas Panch (the mellifluous Larry Keeling); and comfort counselor Mitch Mahoney (Mike Cash), who's working through his parole by giving out juice boxes and hugs when spellers are eliminated.
These actors invest enormous personality into their roles. Each character is able to show off his or her idiosyncrasies while waiting for their turn to spell. Something is going on no matter where you look. Mr. Olive as the dazed, distracted, and colorfully clad speller is fun to watch as he appears to be new best friends with the audience volunteer speller sitting next to him. Sporting pig-tails and a lisp, Ms. Bisulca—her character's full name is Logainne Schartzandgrubenierre–effectively communicates the angst from the pressure she feels from her two overbearing, fathers.
The audience almost cheers aloud when Ms. Chu's character makes an important decision. As she laments in song "I achieve my goals, so unfazed am I. As my life unscrolls, unamazed am I. Winning is a job, and I get no real enjoyment," we feel sorry for her and the seeming loss of the joy of childhood. Ms. Cox, whose character's mother is in an ashram in India and whose father is a no-show at the Bee, conveys a vulnerability and a longing that is so strong – it is almost painful.
The singing, especially the solos, can be a bit inconsistent. While Ms. Akers, in a role that is normally cast as a guy, is not the group's best singer, her talent at physical comedy is brilliant. Mr. Badling, as the returning champion of the Twenty-Fourth Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, really sells what could be a very difficult song, "Chip's Lament." Who knew there are so many words that rhyme with erection?
Grace McCarthy, as one of the spellers and as Olive's mom, has a beautiful voice. Unfortunately she does not have enough opportunities to showcase her talent. Mr. Cash is quite good at moving among three different roles and costumes without drawing attention to himself during the transitions. In his song, "Prayer of the Comfort Counselor," his powerful voice is featured giving us a strong finish to Act One.
With all the chaos and pandemonium, Ms. Gray as the perky, sweet moderator is the glue that keeps the show from spinning off into bedlam. As she opens the show by recounting her win at the Third Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee by spelling "syzygy," Gray is appropriately reminiscent of all the people who have experienced the highlight of their life in their youth. Her pleasant singing voice combined with good comic timing make her perfect for this role. Mr. Keeling is also perfect as the increasingly frustrated pronouncer.
Given the audience volunteer spellers (who were terrific on opening night), the entire cast must have a talent for improvisation. If one didn't know that everyone had not rehearsed, you would not have known differently as the entire cast integrates the volunteers into the troupe and creates a cohesive whole. Not an easy thing to do on stage with no knowledge of what someone might do next.

As the venue for the production, the Mountain View High School's less-than-modern auditorium sets just the right tone. Director Leslie Anne Ross uses the rather limited space to effectively build the emotion and mayhem. Choreographer Robin Havens Parker creates true pandemonium in the song entitled "Pandemonium." It's amazing she keeps everyone moving and yet no one trips, falls, or ends up in the wrong place. A special shout out goes to Music Director Laurelyn Morrison and her three-piece band for high quality accompaniment. The set, while spare given the limited space, works to great advantage. I would hope the sound will be a bit more consistent in future productions.
The Alliance Theatre's The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical production that charms and delights. It tells us life isn't always fair and our families aren't always supportive in the ways we would like them to be. And it isn't always the big wins that matter. Sometimes it's just showing up and entering the race that matters most. D-o-n-'-t M-i-s-s I-t!
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee plays through May 19, 2013 at The Alliance Theatre at the Mountain View High School – 5775 Spindle Court, in Centreville, VA. For tickets, purchase them online, or at the door.

Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive tumor of odontogenic epithelial tissue. Reports of radiotherapy treatment modalities are limited in the literature.
A thirty-five year old male presented with complaints of headache radiating to his face for about six months and impaired vision. The patient's Positron Emission Tomography (PET) showed a mass in the left maxillary sinus extending to the nasal cavity and invading the adjacent tissues. An R2 (macroscopic residual tumor) surgical resection performed to debulk the tumor. Due to the recurrence and residual mass, the patient was treated with helical tomotherapy. At 2 months post-radiotherapy, patient's vision returned to normal. PET scan showed a significant reduction in lesion size 12 months post-radiation.
In cases of ameloblastic carcinoma with, post-surgical recurrence or patients not suitable for surgical treatment, helical tomotherapy can be an effective treatment option.
Ameloblastoma is a locally aggressive benign tumor derived from the odontogenic epithelial tissues. The tumor has a slight increased preponderance in females and is mainly diagnosed in the third or fourth decade of life[2, 3]. It accounts for about 1% of all jaw tumors. Ameloblastoma prevalently occurs in the ramus and the angulus of the mandible, and rarely in the maxilla. While often clinically asymptomatic, the tumor is usually spotted with bone expansion or detected in routine radiological studies. Numerous histological types have been reported based on the histological findings. The most recent WHO classification has categorized ameloblastoma, to malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. Malignant ameloblastoma is different from ameloblastoma since metastases may occur in the former. Both have benign histology. Ameloblastic carcinoma has malignant cytological features regardless of the metastasis occurrence. In ameloblastoma, metastasis rarely occurs.
The basic form of treatment for localized ameloblastoma is radical surgery. The only treatment option in metastatic disease appears to be chemotherapy, although the outcome is not favorable. Radiotherapy modalities are limited in the literature.
Here we report a case of ameloblastic carcinoma with basal cell histology, where helical tomotherapy achieved a prominent response.
A thirty-five year old male presented with complaints of headache radiating to his face for about six months and impaired vision. He presented to an outpatient of Ear, Nose and Throat clinic in April 2012. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images (Figure 1) shows a tumor extending to the sphenoidal sinus from the anterior segment of the sphenoid bone. The tumor invades the ethmoid bone, sellar and supra-sellar regions, bilateral retro-orbital areas, almost completely invading the left maxillary sinus and extending to the nasal cavity. The mass was observed to displace optic nerves bilaterally. The tumor size was measured at 57 × 56 × 63 mm. Post-contrast series demonstrated intense and heterogeneous contrast enhancement. Based on the biopsy findings, the patient was diagnosed with ameloblastic carcinoma with basaloid appearance (Figure 2). The patient underwent surgery in the Neurosurgery Clinic in May 2012. Due to the size of the mass and proximity to critical organs, only R2 (macroscopic residual tumor) resection could be performed. The patient developed post-operative infection, and was treated with appropriate antibiotic therapy, which failed to treat the infection. The patient was operated again in June 2012. After the recovery from infection, due to the recurrent and residual mass, the multi-disciplinary oncology council decided to consult with the Radiation Oncology Clinic for post-operative external radiotherapy. The visual field examination The visual assessment conducted by the Eye Diseases Clinic before the initiation of external radiotherapy revealed bilateral visual impairment and diplopia. Serial tomographic sections were taken for the purpose of contouring in radiation therapy plan. The sections were transmitted to the contouring work station through Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM), and Reconstructive Digital Radiography (DRR) was obtained. The DRR contouring of the patient was performed using a Tomocon (TetramedTM, Slovak republic) contouring workstation. The patient's eyes, optic nerves, lenses, brain stem, optic chiasm, parotid glands, spinal cord, cochleae, vestibules and skin were contoured as critical organs. Prior to the radiotherapy for ameloblastic carcinoma, two separate clinical target volumes (CTV) were defined. CTV1 was defined by adding a 5 mm margin to the gross tumor volume, while planning target volume (PTV) 1 was obtained by adding a 3 mm margin to the CTV1 volume, and then administration of 60 Gy total dose was planned using simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) technique. PTV2 was defined by adding a 15 mm margin to CTV1 volume, and the prescription dose was 50 Gy to PTV2 (Table 1). The patient's treatment plan was designed with the Tomotherapy planning system (Accuray Inc., Madison, USA). With this planning system, the appropriate prescription doses for organs at risk (OAR) were defined, and routine quality assurance for the prescribed doses was conducted to prepare the patient for the treatment. Related to metastases and close proximity of OAR's to PTV's, some of the OAR dose objectives were slightly exceeded Quantec recommendations. The patient was informed about the treatment related adverse effects and informed consent was signed before the start of the treatment session. Prior to each session of treatment, daily Mega Voltage Computerized Tomography (MVCT) scans were performed, and these were compared with the images of treatment planning to achieve set-up accuracy.
Pre-treatment Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images of the case patient.
The MR images taken at 2 months after radiotherapy showed partial regression in lesion size. Complete clinical remission was achieved in patient's bilateral visual impairment and diplopia during follow-up. The PET scan taken at 12 months after radiotherapy demonstrated regression of the tumor in the left maxillary sinus, which reduced to 3 × 3.5 × 3 cm, and 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG) uptake decreased (Previous SUD: 25.36; Current SUD 5.33), while a complete response was achieved in the lesion intracranial extensions (Figure 3). The brain MRI detected no pathological contrast involvement in this area. The patient is under ongoing follow-up. He has not reported any complaints in the check-up conducted in January 2014.

Although the term 'ameloblastoma' was coined by Churchill in 1933, the first detailed description of this lesion was given by Falkson in 1879. While known as benign odontogenic tumors, ameloblastomas are slow-growing tumors with a high recurrence rate and tendency for local invasion, expansion and destruction in the bone[10–12]. Dental caries, trauma, infection, inflammation, dental disorders, malnutrition and viral pathogens have been suggested to play a role in the etiology. The most common symptom is a slow-growing painless swelling, and less frequently, dental malocclusion, pain, paresthesia or anesthesia might occur. In rare cases, pain may be experienced especially when the tumor is infected, but it causes no symptoms unless there is nerve involvement[6, 14].
In 80% of the cases, ameloblastoma originates in the mandible. It mainly involves the angulus and ramus regions of the mandible (70% of cases), whereas 20% of the all cases it involves the premolar region, and 10% the anterior region[2, 5, 15].
According to the histological findings, the tumors are classified as follicular, plexiform, acanthomatous, granular, basal cell and desmoplastic type. The main clinicoradiographic types of ameloblastoma have been defined as conventional solid or multicystic intraosseous, well-defined unicystic (intraosseous) and peripheral (extraosseous)[10, 11, 16].
In the diagnosis of ameloblastoma, the radiological tools such as panoramic radiography, CT, MRI and PET-CT can be used. Panoramic radiography is often used in daily practice, while the other methods are better at detecting the presence of metastases, contours, content and soft tissue extension of the lesion[4, 5, 17, 18].
Although considered a benign tumor, ameloblastoma may develop recurrence after resection and become clinically more aggressive, while leading to massive local destruction and metastasis. 15-25% of the cases develop recurrence after radical surgery, while conservative surgery recurrence rate is 75-90%. In patients allowing radical surgery, despite controversies, 1–2 cm margin is sufficient as it significantly decreases the recurrence rate. Since there is always risk of recurrence, even 25–30 years after the primary treatment, patients should be monitored for a long time. Its metastatic spread incidence has been reported as 1 to 4.5% of all cases. Even though rare, cases with metastases to lungs, pleura, spleen, kidney, heart, skull, spine, brain, and lymph nodes have been reported. Surgery may be an option in the presence of metastases. A review of the current literature reveals that various chemotherapeutic agents have been used, including cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, paclitaxel, doxorubicin, methotrexate, prednisone, bleomycin, 5-fluorouracil and dacarbazine, and varying degrees of responses have been reported for each agent[8, 20].
As ameloblastoma is a rare and slow-growing tumor, the use of radiotherapy in the treatment should be discussed. Also there are limited data for detailed radiotherapy field design and dose prescriptions. The information regarding radiosensitivity in the current literature is ambiguous. In incomplete resection cases, adjuvant radiotherapy may be considered a treatment option[8, 21]. The current studies found in the literature fail to provide sufficient information on the use of radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy in metastatic disease. Besides, the use of radiotherapy might increase the incidence of conventional bone complications, osteonecrosis and bone carcinoma. With the help of advanced radiotherapy techniques, such complications are tried to be minimized. However, there has been no research examining the use of helical tomotherapy in the treatment of ameloblastoma.
Ameloblastoma is a slow-growing tumor with no standard chemotherapy treatment options, and primarily treated with curative surgical procedure. In conclusion, we suggest that helical tomotherapy can provide an effective treatment option in ameloblastoma cases where complete resection is not feasible or in patients developing local recurrence.

Kisha Itkin
President & Owner
By educational background, Kisha Itkin might seem more suited for a job in science, engineering, or geophysics. However, Kisha's studies of complex math and science never replaced her passion for design, antiques and a sense of place.
Kisha began coming to Napa Valley as a tourist. On those early visits, she was always drawn to Napa's history, beauty and of course, the amazing wines. Whether it was the knowledge needed to produce ultra-premium wines or the artistic talent that goes into designing wine bottles and labels—everywhere Kisha turned, she saw something that touched her love of art and science.
So, on one of her international adventures with her husband Jason, Kisha felt inspired to search for property in Napa Valley. She located a few properties of interest and after several calls to local real estate brokers, found that no one would return her calls. After a week, an agent finally agreed to show Kisha and her husband the properties. It was a cold, rainy day on Diamond Mountain for that visit. The mud was thick in the vineyards, the buildings in shambles and the views looking out to Mt. St. Helena were impossible to see. But something about that old porch and the smell of that soil... The connection was undeniable. Kisha and Jason made an offer the next day and so began the story of Theorem Vineyards.
Kisha has overseen the restoration of the property. She also coordinates the vineyard and winery operations. In her spare time, Kisha enjoys cooking, playing tennis and being with Jason and their daughter, Alia.
Jason Itkin
Jason owns Theorem Vineyards with his wife Kisha. Although Jason loves a great bottle of wine, he is best known for his work as a trial lawyer. In 2004, Jason co-founded the nationally known law firm of Arnold and Itkin LLP. Jason's track record of multi-million-dollar verdicts has earned him many honors and awards. Perhaps Jason's greatest honor was being named as a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates. The Inner Circle's membership is comprised of the top 100 trial attorneys in the United States. Jason was selected to join the Inner Circle before the age of 40, making him the elite organization's youngest member.
Although Kisha runs the winery operation, Jason is not shy about chiming in with his ideas. Often, Jason can be found walking the vineyards while preparing for a big case.
The Itkins are active members and proud supporters of the Houston and Napa communities. They support many causes individually and through the Arnold & Itkin Foundation.
James Cerda
James grew up working in restaurants and has been honing his hospitality skills through this industry for the past 20 years. It was in 2010 though that he got bit by the wine bug. James was thinking about leaving the restaurant industry to pursue a more "grown-up job" until one day he randomly picked up Karen McNeel's "The Wine Bible." He devoured the book in a few weeks, and then picked up another book, and then another. Within that year, James sat and passed the Introductory Level course through the Court of Master Sommeliers. He has gone on to pass the Certified Level and is currently studying for the Advanced Level Certification through the Court. James brings with him many years of hospitality experience and a wide breadth of wine knowledge.
Scott Freeland
Vice President of Sales and Marketing
Scott believes that dreams and passions should not be ignored or discounted, but examined and pursued. This is what ultimately led Scott, his wife, and his three children to uproot from their Texas home and make their way to the Napa Valley in 2015. After more than two decades in banking and finance, Scott has wholeheartedly transitioned into the wine industry. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a degree in Economics, Scott began his career in Financial Services with Merrill Lynch in Dallas, Texas. That eventually lead to being Executive Director and Investment Team Leader in Fort Worth, Texas for J.P. Morgan Private Bank. Beginning with the Fall of 2016 harvest, Scott worked as a cellar intern at a custom crush winery in Calistoga and eventually moved over to the hospitality and management side of the winery. Scott has been a winery representative on the Napa Valley Vintner's Community and Industry Issues Committee and is continuing his formal education attending Sonoma State University studying Wine Business.
Thomas was born in Sumter, South Carolina and discovered his passion for wine while attending the University of Virginia. In 1997, he moved to Napa and began his career with an entry-level position at Turley Cellars. Thomas' philosophy of letting the site dictate the way the wine is produced has made him one of Napa's most respected winemakers. His wines have earned the highest acclaim, including more than twenty-five 100 point scores from Robert Parker. In 2010, Thomas was also named Winemaker of the Year by Food & Wine Magazine.
Kathleen Ward
Assistant Winemaker
Kathleen grew up in Texas and while attending Texas A&M Univsersity, enrolled in an enology class which sparked her interest in winemaking. This interest quickly turned to passion when she was able to apply all the science and chemistry she had learned to making wine. After graduating with a BSc, Kathleen moved to Napa Valley to further her knowledge of winemaking. Her career began as an intern for Failla Wines which became a full time cellar position post harvest. The past 4 years Kathleen has worked as the Enologist for Acumen Wine. She has had a number of great mentors who have helped her learn and grow along the way.
Vineyard Manager
Josh's farming career got its start while riding on his dad's lap, as he steered the tractor around their Napa Valley vineyard. It's there that Josh learned the rhythm of the seasons and the rhythm of the vines. After graduating with a degree in Agricultural Engineering Technology with a minor in Ag Business, Josh worked at a large family run vineyard in Paso Robles, managing all phases of development, maintenance and harvest. Eventually, he moved back home to Napa Valley, taking the reins of his father's business, Clark Vineyard Management. Today, Josh's team oversees 400 acres of premium wine grapes in Napa and Sonoma Counties. He specializes in smaller, high-quality vineyards, with the philosophy that technology and age-old practices are not opposing forces when your aim is growing the best possible grapes.
