"Just as energy is the basis of life itself, and ideas the source of innovation, so is innovation the vital spark of all human change, improvement and progress."
The spirit of innovation is a cornerstone of our business. We have always been attentive to research and experimentation with an aim to improve existing products and introduce new ones in line with market requirements.
We are proud to have introduced the technology of white wines and red wines to improve product quality, enzymes for the release of aromatic expression of wines and tyrosinase and laccase inhibitors.
One of the first biotechnology innovation was the introduction, in 1988, of potassium caseinate, used in the clarification process of musts. It is a protein clarifier, derived from milk, capable of absorbing oxidized molecules, such as catechins, proanthocyanidins, and heavy metals. In combination with bentonite and activated cellulose with high adsorbent capacity, it is used on musts and wines to enhance the aromatic identity. Potassium caseinate can restore the noble greenish hues of white wines, sharpen the tones specific to rosés and provide further longevity to wines.
Another step forward has been taken, this time in the area of bio protection with the development of Primaflora, an organic yeast non-Saccharomyces naturally present in grapes. This product inhibits the unwanted microbiological flora, which causes the production of biogenic amines and acetamide odours. Its action helps to maintain the flavour and aromatic complexity of wines, while preserving the expressive purity of the terroir. Its use reduces sulphur dioxide during the winemaking process which is a particularly important aspect for organic wines since a legal thresholds of sulphur dioxide exists for these wines.
Research is also carried out on equipment with crucial innovations such as the Reactivator (2003), a cutting-edge machine that improves the rehydration of yeasts so as to enhance their fermentation characteristics and their cellular activity. This valuable support is used even during the secondary fermentation phase both in the wine and beer sector.
Our most recent technological innovation is the Control Ferm, exhibited during the last Simei show (2015). It is a system for the automatic control of fermentation through the monitoring of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide.

Business Intelligence moves to the cloud
Jaspersoft, Talend, RightScale, and Vertica have teamed up to offer a joint solution stack that delivers complete Business Intelligence (BI) in the cloud.
Dave Rosenberg
One of the most difficult aspects of cloud computing is dealing with the integration of various applications that run between your enterprise and a cloud provider or data center. Application integration is arguably the biggest challenge to enterprises attempting to adopt cloud principles.
BI in the cloud RightScale
To that end, Jaspersoft, Talend, RightScale, and Vertica have teamed up to offer a joint solution stack that delivers complete Business Intelligence (BI) in the cloud.
Business intelligence has been the No. 1 technology spend for the last three years running, according to reseach firm Gartner. And, despite the the recession, Madan Sheina from Ovum has called BI a "recession proof technology." But nothing lasts forever and as with any other enterprise technology, BI can just easily feel the pain of budget cuts.
I spoke with Jaspersoft CEO Brian Gentile about the announcement to get some perspective on why this is just the beginning of full application stacks in the cloud.
The dirty secret about enterprise software is: it sucks. It's really hard to use and often requires additional resources for training and ongoing maintenance. This is particularly the case with proprietary software.
What our cloud BI solution will bring is an added layer of agility for businesses that want some level of analytics, but who don't want to wait months or dedicate resources to evaluating and deploying a BI solution.
If you want to start a new project, just fire it up. If you want to scale, we scale. If you're done with the project in a month or two, just stop--you haven't had to invest in significant software or hardware infrastructure costs.
BI is just one use case of how enterprise applications can cross borders. Realistically, not every application will (or necessarily should) go outside the firewall, but having the ability to do so brings about a wealth of new ways to add flexibility to your business.

Marquee group of Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson a collective 25-over par in first round of U.S. Open
By John Huggan
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. — They were hardly alone of course. But even on an opening morning of tee-to-green carnage at the 118th U.S. Open, a cumulative total of 25-over par was hardly what was expected of the so-called "marquee group" comprising Jordan Spieth (78), Rory McIlroy (80) and Phil Mickelson (77). All three multiple major champions struggled to come to terms with the combination of wind, firm greens and thick rough that turned Shinnecock Hills into Shinnecock Hell for so many of the 156-strong field.
The problems started early. On the 10th hole - their first - Spieth three-putted for bogey, Mickelson needed three to get down from over the green and also dropped a shot and McIlroy missed from maybe five feet for what would have been a morale-boosting birdie. Then things got even worse. After only four holes, Mickelson was already three-over par -- and the best of the bunch. By then, Spieth had made a triple-bogey six on the short 11th, eventually holing from five feet to do so, and McIlroy had dropped four shots in three holes after passing up that early birdie opportunity.
It was ugly stuff.
In conditions that were certainly difficult, but far from brutal, the general level of play continued to decline. Which is not to say the rough was not challenging and, in places, all but unplayable. After missing the 12th green by maybe five yards to the right, Mickelson arrived to find a spotter had marked the position of his ball. Or so he thought. Despite the presence of a little green flag, the pair spent another couple of minutes relocating said ball.
"You got to find it man," said a clearly agitated Phil. "Get in there and find it."
Even after the spotter did his duty, Phil wasn't finished. After walking up to the green to survey his shot he returned and momentarily "lost" his ball again. He then decided to call for a ruling.
"I can't see the ball when I swing," said Mickelson to the arriving rules official. "Is there a rule that allows me to see the ball?"
Sadly there is not.
Four holes later, Mickelson burned another shot when his 70-yard pitch -- a sickening head-high screamer -- was bladed over the putting surface. On that same hole, McIlroy, having hit one shot no more than three feet in the rough right of the 14th fairway, needed two to escape a bunker and matched Mickelson's bogey. It was the third of four sixes McIlroy would make during a round in which he accumulated only five pars.
Still, amidst all of the nonsense, Spieth had steadied. Four over-par after two holes, the Open champion played his next seven holes in level par. A notable effort. And, by the end, the 24-year old Texan was the only one of the group who took any time to speak to the media. While all three had knocked back official requests for their time and comments, Spieth did stop briefly outside the player hospitality unit to say a few words.
Clearly, the 11th hole was still on his mind. In sand off the tee, he had blasted his recovery over the putting surface, from where he needed two chips to get back on the green.
"It was just blah," he said. "It wasn't fun; it wasn't not fun. It was just blah. I was okay after the 11th. The wind kinda stopped when I hit my bunker shot there. I didn't want to be below the hole so I played the aggressive route. And it hurt me. You just can't do that in the U.S. Open. When you're put of position you have to just try and give yourself a chance for a par and make bogey at worst.
"If I'm upset with anything it is with the decision I made on that bunker shot. I was trying too hard to get the stroke back I lost on the previous hole. So I was four-over through two and trying to figure out how to shoot four-over on the day."
Asked about the course set-up, always a controversial topic during U.S Opens at Shinnecock, Spieth was more circumspect. But only slightly.
"There were certainly a few pins that I wondered why they hadn't put them two paces closer," he said. "They found a found a lot of flat spots on the crests of ridges. You couldn't get it close. But if you were playing well and hitting it to the right spots you could make pars. But overall it was just very difficult to control the ball off the tee and get it where you wanted it in this wind."
The most prominent emotion was, understandably, disappointment. Professing to have been striking the ball "beautifully" earlier in the week, Spieth had clearly expected more of himself.
"I thought that if I could shoot even on the back and get in at four-over I would be very much in the golf tournament," he sighed. "But I caught a couple of tough breaks and a couple of tough numbers. I didn't hit the ball very well either. I got a little off in the wind today. Hopefully I'll be better tomorrow."
He -- and his two partners in calamity - will need to be.

While one of the fans tried to kiss Virat in the second test at Hyderabad, another devotee of Rohit Sharma has tried to perform the same stunt over him.
Rohit, who is playing for Mumbai in the quarterfinals of Vijay Hazare trophy, encountered a weird experience. A fan came over the found and touched his feet to seek his blessings. However, his attempts to kiss him on the cheeks went unsuccessful.
What actually matters the most here is the way the picture is trending in the social media. Ritika, the wife of Rohit posted in her Instagram story that she has found another competitor than Chahal.
हिटमैन के ये 10 रिकॉर्ड जिसके बारे में हर किसी को नहीं है पता!
This isn't the first time when Ritika and Chahal are involved in a funny conversation. On several occasions, whenever Chahal posted pics thanking Rohit, Ritika was seen expressing her jealousy in a funny manner across the social media. But this incident from them has certainly turned out to be a laughter.
Rohit Sharma had just a little to do as Mumbai defeated Bihar with ease to progress to the semifinals of Vijay Hazare trophy.


Did you know that Anthony Burrill's favourite band used to be The Human League? Or that he was initially drawn to the art of letterpress through beer mats? Neither did we until we got our hands on this handsome tome – a book which is part biography, part inspirational guide to creativity.
In Make it Now!, Burrill retraces the formative steps that led him towards the status of poster art wizard he holds today. From the first time he witnessed a graphic designer at work, through to degrees from Leeds and the RCA, and his connection with Vernacular Typography, readers will get a keen insight into his success.
Designed by A Practice for Everyday Life, the book is imbued with the British designer's bright-hued aesthetic and bold type, peppered with punchy phrases that provide snippets of advice for discerning creatives. Burrill maintained an analogue approach in his work to create 'a beautiful object that felt crafted, thoughtful and satisfying to the touch'. The largely uncoated pages shift through different paper qualities, textures and colours, keeping things engaging throughout.
'I use concise phrases in my letterpress posters and wanted to expand on these ideas in a longer form,' says the designer. These quotes, undeniably Burrill, are often placed irreverently; for instance, when explaining the way he works – trying to avoid late nights or weekends – the legend on the opposite leaf reads 'CLEAR YOUR HEAD'.
The world of Burrill unravels in this way; the book often shows his vulnerable side and the unembellished reality of the business, with anecdotes from people who have worked alongside him. He also delves into his inspirations – The Human League aside, he also nods to Dada, David Hockney, Eduardo Paolozzi and squelchy acid house music.
'We need positive messages more than ever now,' Burrill muses. 'I am a natural optimist and have found that a positive approach to tricky situations works well.' This book is definitely not just for the aspiring graphic designer; it's a manual for all those creatives needing a little inspired encouragement.


Recently we read once again the Passover/Pesach Hagada, the "Telling".
These days most people like "new and exciting". The old is for the past. But we believe that the old contains the new. By properly studying the old we understand our current situation much better.
Which means "Go out and learn".
So here again we read the same exact words that Jews have read every Pesach for the past 2,000 years (at least) and yet we find new meaning that is relevant to our daily lives.
Go OUT and learn. I put the emphasis on the word out. I have read these words every year since I was old enough to read but suddenly this year I "felt" a new meaning.
Go OUT; if you want to learn something new, if you truly want to change your life, you have to go out.
To use a modern English phrase and concept, you need to get out of your comfort zone.
Lets face it. As adults, even as teenagers, we have a comfort zone. We are comfortable but not always happy. We are not retired, we still have plenty of life left in us. We are not content with what we have; we want more.
My dear friend Hal is over 70 years young, going strong. He has more questions about Krav Maga than most of the younger instructors. Why? He wants to know more, he wants to understand more, he wants to progress more for himself and for his students. He is always reaching out of his comfort zone.
We put down our glass of wine, we uncover the matzoth (the unleavened hard bread) and recited Go out and learn, what did Lavan the Aramean try to do to Jacob our father?
The old story is repeated once again, just as it was in Israel over 2,000 years ago, in Babylon, in Persia, in Yemen and in the Warsaw ghetto in 1943, Go out and learn, what did they intend to do to us?
You want a change? you want different results? Go OUT.
The Jewish genius Albert Einstein (1879-1955, Germany-USA) said, "the definition of insanity is doing the same over and over again and expecting different result".
If we want different results we must take different actions. We must go out and learn new things.
So we get robbed, we get attacked, we get violated. So we are upset, we make vows, "I will fortify my home. I will learn Krav Maga" but then our anger subsides and we go back to "business as usual".
Why? because human nature it to slide back to the familiar. There is a reason it is called the comfort zone, because it is so familiar and comfortable. But if you want a change, you must be the one to change, act different, try something new. Put your fears aside and dare to be different.
Get Out and come to Israel!
Leave your comfort zone. Leave your security zone and come to Israel to train in Krav Maga. Discover a new you.
10 days or more of intensive Krav Maga training and touring. Understand the combat history of Israel. Meet Israel Special Forces. Stand on Mt. Masada, the last stand of the Jews against the Romans in the year 74.

We find, to our satisfaction, that we will have sufficient space in which to give our students a few brief experiments in actual Occult Healing which they may practice. These experiments are given merely as examples, of course, and are not to be taken as being full instructions in the various forms of Occult Healing.
(I) Let the patient sit in a chair, you standing before him. Let your hands hang loosely by your sides, and then swing them loosely to and fro for a few seconds, until you feel a tingling sensation at the tips of your fingers. Then raise them to the level of the patient's head, and sweep them slowly toward his feet, with your palms toward him with fingers outstretched, as if you were pouring force from your finger tips upon him. Then step back a foot and bring up your hands to the level of his head, being sure that your palms face each other in the upward movement, as, if you bring them up in the same position as you swept them down, you would draw back the magnetism you send toward him.
Then repeat several times. In sweeping downward, do not stiffen the muscles, but allow the arms and hands to be loose and relaxed. You may treat the affected parts of the body in a similar way, finishing the treatment by saturating the entire body with magnetism. After treating the affected parts, it will be better for you to flick the fingers away from your sides, as if you were throwing off drops of water which had adhered to your fingers. Otherwise you might absorb some of the patient's conditions.
This treatment is very strengthening to the patient, and if frequently practiced will greatly benefit him. In case of chronic or long seated troubles, the trouble may often be "loosened up" by making "sideways" passes before the afflicted part, that is by standing before the patient with your hands together, palms touching, and then swinging the arms out sideways several times. This treatment should always be followed by the downward passes to equalize the circulation.
(II) In Chapter XIV, "Science of Breath," we have given a number of valuable experiments in this form of healing, which we advise the student to study and practice, if he is interested in this phase of the subject.
(III) Headaches may be relieved by having the patient sit down in front of you, you standing back of his chair, and passing your hands, fingers down and spread open in double circles over the top of his head, not touching his head, however. After a few seconds you will actually feel the passage of the magnetism from your fingers, and the patient's pain will be soothed.
(IV) Another good method of removing pain in the body is to stand before the patient, and present your palm to the affected part, at a distance of sev eral inches from the body. Hold the palm steady for a few seconds and then begin a slow rotary motion, round and round, over the seat of the pain. This is quite stimulating and tends to restore normal conditions.
(V) Point your forefinger toward the affected part a few inches away from the body, and keeping the finger steadily pointed move the hand around just as if you were boring a hole with the point of the finger. This will often start the circulation at the point affected, and bring about improved conditions.
(VI) Placing the hands on the head of the patient, over the temples and holding them for a time, has a good effect, and is a favorite form of treatment of this kind.
(VII) Stroking the patient's body (over the clothing) has a tendency to stimulate and equalize the circulation, and to relieve congestion.
(VIII) Much of the value of Massage and similar forms of manipulative treatment, comes from the Prana which is projected from the healer into the patient, during the process of rubbing and manipulating. If the rubbing and manipulating is accompanied by the conscious desire of the healer to direct the flow of Prana into the patient a greatly increased flow is obtained. If the practice is accompanied with Rhythmic Breathing, as explained in "Science of Breath," the effect is much better.
(IX) Breathing upon the affected part, is practiced by many races of people, and is often a potent means of conveying Prana to the affected part. This is often performed by placing a bit of cotton cloth between the flesh of the person and the healer, the breath heating up the cloth and adding the stimulation of warmth in addition to the other effects.

It's shaping up to be another unsavory Grammys season for Chris Brown.
In the Breezy-Ocean debacle, Brown allegedly threw the first punch while in the parking lot outside of a studio where the two camps were reportedly arguing over a parking space. This led to an all-out brawl, which left Ocean with at least a cut on his finger that he said will affect his ability to perform at the upcoming Grammys ceremony.
Brown's camp fled by the time cops arrived, but Ocean remained. And according to the New York Daily News, Ocean's looking to press charges against Brown. "He's desirous of prosecution," a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman told the paper.
It's not clear yet how this will affect Brown's relationship with the Grammys. Yesterday, we reported that "the incident [would] not have an impact on the show's scheduled performances, according to a source at CBS and another working with NARAS," though we noted that things are always subject to change.
UPDATE: EW reached out to LA Sheriff's Dept. spokesman Steve Whitmore, who told us that the department "is investigating the incident." It appears to be a minor incident, he says and no one has filed charges. He does say that "desirous of prosecution" phrase is routine — in other words, it indicates that the victim wants it investigated.

"The Betrayal" (Nerakhoon), tells the story of Thavisouk Phrasavath and his family's journey from war-torn Laos to the streets of New York. Filmed over the course of 23 years, Phrasavath gives a first-hand account of his own boyhood survival of war, his later escape from persecution and arrest in Laos, his reunion with his family and their journey to America, and the second war they had to fight on the streets of New York City.
As its involvement in the Vietnam War deepened and conflict spilled into the surrounding territories, the U.S. clandestinely operated within Laotian borders. By 1973, almost 3 million tons of bombs were dropped on Laos in the fight to overcome the North Vietnamese – more than were used during WWI and WWII combined. A former commander in the Royal Army, Phrasavath's father is recruited (alongside thousands of his countrymen) by the CIA, and works intelligence along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. When the U.S. withdraws from Laos, his father is declared an enemy of the state and sent to a hard labor re-education camp. Repeatedly arrested because of his father's U.S. affiliation, 12-year-old Phrasavath leaves his family and Laos behind, swimming across the Mekong River on two inflated plastic bags to a refugee camp in Thailand. Reunited with his mother and siblings two years later, the family flees to the United States in 1981.
The family's optimism evaporates after their American sponsors deposit them in a single cramped room in a crowded tenement building – right next door to a volatile crack house in Brooklyn, New York. Disoriented by the western culture and desperate to survive, Phrasavath and his mother try to imprint their eastern cultural values onto the younger children before the family disintegrates completely. Robbed of his own childhood, he tries to reunite his lost family in a world marked by borders and chaos.
After the screening, Thavisouk Phrasavath will talk about the issues of multiple betrayals within the film and the struggles to have his story told as an Asian American filmmaker. Moderated by Crystal Parikh, Associate Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and English at NYU.
Thavisouk Phrasavath is a creative consultant for developing Lao TV and other media. His background in community work includes assisting Gang Prevention for Youth and Family Crisis intervention through the Church Avenue Merchants Block Association and working with the police department as a liaison and interpreter for the Lao community dealing with domestic and gang-related issues. Formerly an Area Policy Board Member, Phrasavath has consulted for the NYC Board of Education.
His film work extends into writing, editing, directing and shooting. His projects as editor include Mira Sorvino's directorial debut "Making Famous," as well as "Summer School," "Cuba Libre," "Americanos," "Streaming with the Prez," "Vietnam on the Cusp," "Sound Painting," and most recently, "Golden Venture." Prasavath graduated with honors from Pratt Institute with a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Over a June weekend we heard the devastating news that not one bridal shop, but two had gone into liquidation.
For all 'All About Eve' Brides that purchase a new bridal gown, receive 'The Brides Protection Scheme' that is supplied and underwritten by the Retail Bridalwear Association (RBA).
But so many lovely brides were left heartbroken. A number of brides were getting married in a couple of weeks with no dress!
So many paid by cash with no come back. A number paid by debit card, who may be able to make a claim. Those who paid by credit card or who had taken out bridal insurance were hopefully receiving their money back.
As owners of All About Eve we felt a genuine feeling of wanting to help in any way we could.
We opened up communication between the effected brides and the suppliers and offered a 24 hour Facebook helpline for those that needed reassurance that everything would be ok. We would find them a dress for their special day.
Along the way we are delighted to have helped some truly wonderful, inspirational young women.
All About Eve are highly honoured and very proud to be members of the RBA, a governing body similar to an ABTA or ATOL bonding when you purchase a holiday from a quality tour operator.
The RBA are highly selective of the shops they accept and accredit to the association. With a high percentage of shops refused membership. We can be proud to have passed rigorous scrutiny of the financial side of our business, which we were happy to share with the RBA because we really wanted to be a member of this elite organisation.
Each RBA Member has gone through a selection process which assesses the quality of the owners/staff, the variety and condition of the stock offered and the general presentation of the shop to the public; the bride must be able to relax with experienced staff to advise her in a professional atmosphere. In addition, the financial credibility of the retail business is checked and its history examined. The business must have operated from dedicated retail premises for a minimum of five years and should not be part of a franchise organisation which could limit the choice available to the Bride.
We wanted to hear from real brides who had been affected by the closure of the two bridal stores in our area, and posed a number of questions to them. They kindly have allowed us to share these with you. Firstly, we have questions and answers with Jess Wasilewska.
All About Eve – After the devastating closure of Mystia Bridal, you were personally effected. How important was it for you to purchase your gown from a RBA store?
Jess – It was very important to me. I didn't want to start looking for another Wedding dress as I'd already fallen in love with the one I picked so I specifically looked on the RBA website and compared it with the list of shops that stocked the designer of the dress I wanted. It was a bit of a long shot as shops often only sell certain styles by particular designer. Luckily for me All About Eve were the first shop I asked AND they had the dress in their store. I had read up about the RBA once I knew I no longer had a dress and was keen to use an affiliated bridal shop as I knew the criteria for stores was very stringent. It helped to put my mind at ease when re-ordering my dream dress again.
All About Eve – Did you find it reassuring that your deposit was underwritten by the RBA?
Jess – Definitely. Having already been burned and lost my previous deposit it was another reason I was confident about going with an RBA store the second time around.
All About Eve – Were you aware of the RBA before purchasing your gown from Mystia Bridal?
Jess – I hadn't heard of the RBA previously. As a bride-to-be you do get rather caught up with the excitement of planning your wedding and finding your dream dress and I probably went into it with rose-tinted glasses on.
All About Eve – What advice would you give to a bride going shopping for her dream gown, given your personal experience?
Jess – My best advice is do your research. It's so easy to jump straight in and start trying on dresses, but before all that I would ask about any available protection in place and make sure that the store is affiliated with someone like the RBA. Ask all the practical questions first and then let yourself get lost in the magical dress adventure.
All About Eve – Do you feel that the complimentary brides protection scheme, offered by All About Eve and underwritten by the RBA gives you total peace of mind, when paying your deposit?
Jess – The scheme offered by All About Eve has definitely given me peace of mind when ordering my dress second time around. I activated it before I even drove home just to be sure. It feels good to know that if anything does happen, I won't be stuck again like I was last time. It has meant I can carry on with the rest of my planning worry free. And I can't wait to see my dress again!
Here at All About Eve we are very honoured to be the only RBA Pronovias stockist RBA Pronovias stockist within Wales, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, Somerset and Herefordshire. We are also the only Essense of Australia stockist within Wales, Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
Last week we sent out invitations to all of our current brides inviting them to a dedicated accessories and bridesmaids evening in our Chepstow bridal boutique on the 15th and 16th July, between 5pm and 9pm. We'd like to extend the invitation to other brides out there who are looking to complete their look and get their bridesmaids dresses ticked off their to-do lists.
Come along and try on the new ranges from designers Dessy, Ronald Joyce and Mori Lee and then continue with accessories from Liza and Ivory and Co for you to look at with many new arrivals coming into the store.
If you would like to be part of this amazing evening with our friendly bridal consultants, who will be putting the bubbly on ice, please R.S.V.P via e-mail at chepstow@allaboutevebridalwear.com or by giving us a call on 01291 629338. Places are limited, so book yours today!

Repealed: Ireland's Unfinished Fight for Reproductive Rights
Content warning: rape, suicide
On 25 May 2018, the Irish people voted to remove the Eighth Amendment from the constitution. This amendment, which had been introduced in 1983, not only made abortion illegal in Ireland, but equated the life of a pregnant woman to the life of a fertilised embryo. Despite this criminalisation, the ban on abortion was always resisted and circumvented. In the years leading up to the 2018 referendum, a grassroots movement pushing for repeal emerged on an unprecedented scale, sending tens of thousands of people out canvassing in villages, towns and cities around the country.
This victory for the Irish Repeal movement set the country alight with euphoria. But, for some, the celebrations were short-lived – the new legislation turned out to be one of the most conservative in Europe. People still travel overseas for abortions and services are not yet commissioned in Northern Ireland.
This month Pluto published a new book, Repealed: Ireland's Unfinished Fight for Reproductive Rights, by Camilla Fitzsimons, with Sinéad Kennedy, and a foreword by Ruth Coppinger. We are joined on the show by Camilla, Sinéad and Ruth to discuss the history of the Catholic Church and women's oppression in Ireland, the introduction of the Eighth amendment in 1983, and the qualitative turning points in the long road to repeal. We also consider the lessons from the campaign, and the challenges that still remain, more than three years later.

2nd Texas inmate set for execution this week wants it halted
By JUAN A. LOZANO and MICHAEL GRACZYKAssociated Press
Sep 27, 2018 at 4:15 PM Sep 27, 2018 at 4:16 PM
HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A Texas inmate scheduled to be executed Thursday evening has insisted he didn't fatally run over his girlfriend in a jealous rage more than 18 years ago.
Daniel Acker was condemned for the March 2000 slaying of Marquetta George of Sulphur Springs. Prosecutors said he ran over George with his truck in rural northeast Texas because he believed she had been unfaithful to him.
Acker's attorneys had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay his execution, arguing he is innocent of capital murder because his 32-year-old girlfriend's fatal injuries were due to her decision to jump from his truck after he abducted her. A similar appeal was rejected earlier this month by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
The high court denied, without comment, Acker's appeal less than three hours before his scheduled execution.
The 46-year-old Acker would become the 18th convicted killer put to death this year in the U.S. and the 10th given a lethal injection in Texas, the nation's busiest capital punishment state.
Acker would be the second Texas inmate put to death in as many days. Troy Clark was executed Wednesday for torturing and drowning an East Texas woman in his bathtub and then stuffing her body into a barrel. If Acker receives a lethal injection, it would be the first time in nearly six years that Texas has executed inmates on consecutive days.
At least eight other Texas inmates have execution dates in the coming months.
At Acker's trial, several witnesses testified that he got into a heated argument with George at a Sulphur Springs nightclub the night before her death over his suspicions she was sleeping with another man. Authorities said that the next day, Acker forced George — kicking and screaming — into his pickup truck. A witness later saw Acker pull George's body from his truck and lay her on the ground.
In a petition to the Supreme Court, Acker's attorney, Richard Ellis, argues the conviction was based on what he describes as a "now discredited" theory that Acker strangled George while he was driving.
Ellis said prosecutors changed their theory of George's death after a prosecution expert testified at a post-conviction hearing in 2011 that she died from injuries after being run over.
At Acker's trial, a medical examiner testified George had extensive injuries all over her body and her neck injuries were consistent with strangulation. But the medical examiner could not determine if strangulation or blunt force caused George's death. The autopsy report did conclude that several of George's injuries could have resulted from "an impact with or being ejected from a motor vehicle."
"From the moment Daniel turned himself in to the authorities, he said that the victim ... jumped from the truck," Ellis said. "He has taken full responsibility for abducting her and has shown great remorse for that."
In its response to Acker's Supreme Court petition, the Texas attorney general's office argued the theory that Acker ran over his girlfriend was presented at the trial to jurors.
"Acker produces no new evidence showing he did not commit the crime but continues to assert that George's death resulted from her leap from the vehicle — a theory rejected by the jury at the time of trial," the attorney general's office said.
Multiple witnesses testified at Acker's trial that he made several death threats against George in the hours before her death.
In a 2017 ruling, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the prosecution's theory of George's death was "largely based on strangulation." But in denying Acker's appeal, the 5th Circuit ruled that all of the evidence, including the updated cause of death, still supports the prosecution's case as it was presented in the indictment and at trial.

Dot Matrix Printing
A type of printer that produces characters and illustrations by striking pins against an ink ribbon to print closely spaced dots in the appropriate shape. Dot-matrix printers are relatively expensive and do not produce high-quality output. However, they can print to multi-page forms (that is, carbon copies), something laser and ink-jet printers cannot do.
Dot-matrix printers vary in two important characteristics:
· Speed: Given in characters per second (cps),the speed can vary from about 50 to over 500 cps. Most dot-matrix printers offer different speeds depending on the quality of print desired.
· Print quality: Determined by the number of pins (the mechanisms that print the dots), it can vary from 9 to 24. The best dot-matrix printers (24 pins) can produce near letter-quality type, although you can still see a difference if you look closely.
Several manufacturers implemented color dot-matrix impact printing through a multi-color ribbon. Color was achieved through a multi-pass composite printing process. During each pass, the print head struck a different section of the ribbon (one primary color). For a 4-color ribbon, each printed line of output required a total of 4 passes. In some color printers, such as the Apple Image Writer II, the printer moved the ribbon relative to the fixed print head assembly. In other models, the print head was tilted against a stationary ribbon.
Due to their poor color quality and increased operating expense, color impact models never replaced their monochrome counterparts. As the color ribbon was used in the printer, the black ink section would gradually contaminate the other 3 colors, changing the consistency of printouts over the life of the ribbon.
Compared to laser and ink-jet printers, dot-matrix printers are notorious for making a racket.
Laser Jet Printing
Laser printing is an electrostatic digital printing process. It produces high-quality text and graphics (and moderate-quality photographs) by repeatedly passing a laser beam back and forth over a negatively charged cylindrical drum to define a differentially-charged image. The drum then selectively collects electrically charged powdered ink and transfers the image to paper, which is then heated in order to permanently fuse the text and/or imagery.
First-generation machines had large photosensitive drums, of circumference greater than the loaded paper's length. Once faster-recovery coatings were developed, the drums could touch the paper multiple times in a pass, and therefore be smaller in diameter.
Laser printers brought exceptionally fast and high-quality text printing, with multiple fonts on a page, to the business and consumer markets. No other commonly-available printer during this era could also offer this combination of features.
The first commercial implementation of a laser printer was the IBM 3800. It was designed for data centers, where it replaced line printers attached to mainframe computers. The IBM 3800 was used for high-volume printing on continuous stationery, and achieved speeds of 215 pages per minute (ppm), at a resolution of 240 dots per inch (dpi).
Inspired by the Xerox 9700's commercial success, Japanese camera and optics company, Canon, developed a low-cost, desktop laser printer: the Canon LBP-10. Canon then began work on a much-improved print engine, the Canon CX, resulting in the LBP-CX printer.
The first laser printer designed for office use – the Xerox Star 8010 – reached the market. The system used a desktop metaphor* that was unsurpassed in commercial sales, until the Apple Macintosh. Although it was innovative, the Star workstation was a prohibitively expensive (US $17,000) system, affordable only to a fraction of the businesses and institutions at which it was targeted.
The first laser printer intended for mass-market sales – the HP LaserJet – was released in 1984; it used the Canon CX engine, controlled by HP software. The LaserJet was quickly followed by printers from Brother Industries, IBM, and others.
Apple introduced the LaserWriter (also based on the Canon CX engine) but used the newly released PostScript page-description language. Up until this point, each manufacturer used its own page-description language, making the supporting software complex and expensive. PostScript allowed the use of text, fonts, graphics, images, and color largely independent of the printer's brand or resolution.
PageMaker, written by Aldus for the Macintosh and LaserWriter, was also released in 1985 and the combination became very popular for desktop publishing.
The Xerox Company used to be known as the Haloid Company almost 100 years ago, but in 1938, Chester Carlson invented a technique called xerography which we today call the photocopy technique. Unfortunately no one was willing to invest in his invention, and many big giants like IBM, GE, RCA and others decided not to finance this invention.


I really enjoyed Night School so I was excited to get my hands on a copy of the sequel Legacy and couldn't wait to see what would happen next in the story. After the revelations made at the end of the first book I was really interested to see how things would play out for Allie now she had learnt some of her family secrets. She certainly had an unusual introduction to life at Cimmeria Academy over the summer and the start of the new year looked set to be just as explosive. I can't fault the opening to Legacy, action packed and fast paced I was on the edge of my seat desperate to see how Allie would get out of the situation she had found herself in. Unfortunately once she arrived at the Academy I felt that the plot really slowed down and I ended up disappointed.
One of the things I loved most about Night School was how action packed it was but Legacy felt much more character driven. That isn't necessarily a bad thing but I like some kind of plot to go along with the character development. In this case very little actually seemed to happen, everyone continued to keep Allie in the dark, she got practically no more information about her family or what was actually going on and why Nathaniel was so determined to plot against the school. By the end of the book I don't feel I have answers to any of my questions and I was left feeling frustrated. I was also shocked at the behaviour of some of the characters, it seemed like Carter and Sylvain had completely switched personalities from the first book. I loved Carter before but in this instalment he was a complete idiot and the way he treated Allie made me so angry I wanted to punch something. On the other hand Sylvain, whose actions in the first book are still completely unforgivable, has turned into a really nice guy. I was shocked to find myself liking Sylvain and I did actually start to believe that he was sorry for the things he did before but in my mind that doesn't make them any more excusable and I still have a hard time letting that go.
Unfortunately Legacy definitely suffered with second book syndrome for me, I hate to give negative reviews but I was so bored that I almost stopped reading. The book is nearly 400 pages long and practically nothing happens, the only thing that kept me going to the end was my love for the first book. The main element of the book is relationship angst between Allie, Carter and Sylvain which is something I just wasn't interested in reading about. If it hadn't had such a major focus it wouldn't have bothered me but I found it all too much. After the action packed beginning you really have to wait until the last 20 pages for anything to happen and then I felt things were rushed over too quickly and we missed out on a lot of potential excitement.
I don't want to put people off reading the story because I definitely seem to be in the minority with this one - a lot of other bloggers have been giving it very high ratings. I have to be honest with my reviews though and tell you how I really feel about the books I read or there is no point in me even writing reviews in the first place. I'm sure I will pick up the next book in the series, I have so many unanswered questions about everything and I do really like Allie and want to know what happens to her. I just hope that I enjoy the next book as much as I enjoyed Night School.
It sounds like there is / was so much potential for this book - especially after the fab first book, it's a real shame the 2nd didn't live up to your expectations.
I'm still going to read Legacy as I really enjoyed Night School but might lower my expectations of it just in case I feel the same!
I definitely seem to be in the minority with this book though, nearly all of the reviews I've seen have been really positive so hopefully you'll enjoy it!
