Delayed Management of Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infection – Who does the Patient Belong To?
Tanya Rinderknecht, MD and Garth Utter MD, MSc| April 29, 2020
A 52-year old women presented to the emergency department with a necrotizing soft tissue infection (necrotizing fasciitis) after undergoing cosmetic abdominoplasty ('tummy tuck') elsewhere. A lack of communication and disputes between the Emergency Medicine, Emergency General Surgery and Plastic Surgery teams about what service was responsible for the patient's care led to delays in treatment. These delays allowed the infection to progress, ultimately requiring excision of a large area of skin and soft tissue.
The Safety Challenges of Supervision and Night Coverage in Academic Residency
Katie Raffel, MD| October 30, 2019
An intern night float, called in on jeopardy from an outside institution for an intern who was ill, was paged to the bedside of an unstable patient to assess his condition. In the electronic health record, the intern checked the code status and clinical information, but the signout did not specify the patient's goals of care nor what course of action to take should the patient worsen. Although the patient was listed as full code and the intern attempted to reach both the rapid response team and the senior resident, she was not aware the pager numbers were incorrect. Eventually, the intern flagged a senior resident passing in the hallway, who assessed the patient and suggested they contact his family.
Spotlight: Mistaken Attribution, Diagnostic Misstep
Timothy R. Kreider, MD, PhD, and John Q. Young, MD, MPP, PhD| January 1, 2019
A woman with a history of psychiatric illness presented to the emergency department with agitation, hallucinations, tachycardia, and transient hypoxia. The consulting psychiatric resident attributed the tachycardia and hypoxia to her underlying agitation and admitted her to an inpatient psychiatric facility. Over the next few days, her tachycardia persisted and continued to be attributed to her psychiatric disease. On hospital day 5, the patient was found unresponsive and febrile, with worsening tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypoxia; she had diffuse myoclonus and increased muscle tone. She was transferred to the ICU of the hospital, where a chest CT scan revealed bilateral pulmonary emboli (explaining the tachycardia and hypoxia), and clinicians also diagnosed neuroleptic malignant syndrome (a rare and life-threatening reaction to some psychiatric medications).
The Forgotten Line
Marta L. Render, MD| May 1, 2012
After placing a central line in an elderly patient following a heart attack, a community hospital transferred him to a referral hospital for stenting of his coronary arteries. He was discharged to an assisted living facility 2 days later, with the central line still in place.
Reconciling Records
Hardeep Singh, MD, MPH; Dean F. Sittig, PhD; Maureen Layden, MD, MPH| November 1, 2010
At two different hospitals, patients were instructed to continue home medications, even though their medication lists had errors that could have led to significant adverse consequences.
The Inside of a Time Out
David L. Feldman, MD, MBA| May 1, 2008
Prior to surgery, an anesthesiologist and surgical physician assistant noted a patient's allergy to IV contrast dye, but no order was written. During a time out before the procedure, an operative nurse raised concern about the allergy, but the attending anesthesiologist was not present and the resident did not speak up.
F. Daniel Duffy, MD; Christine K. Cassel, MD| October 1, 2007
Following surgery, a woman on a patient-controlled analgesia pump is found to be lethargic and incoherent, with a low respiratory rate. The nurse contacted the attending physician, who dismisses the patient's symptoms and chastises the nurse for the late call.
Production Pressures
Pascale Carayon, PhD| May 1, 2007
On the day of a patient's scheduled electroconvulsive therapy, the clinic anesthesiologist called in sick. Unprepared for such an absence, the staff asked the very busy OR anesthesiologist to fill in on the case. Because the wrong drug was administered, the patient did not wake up as quickly as expected.
Moving Pains
Hildy Schell, RN, MS, CCNS; Robert M. Wachter, MD| July 1, 2006
An elderly woman was transported to CT with no medical escort and an inadequate oxygen supply. She died later that day.
Christopher Beach, MD| February 1, 2006

The specialised bands or strips known as lanyards are used by different people for varying purposes or reasons. Chiefly, the bands or strips are meant to help users to hold anything such as ID cards, keys or such other things in a safe manner. It allows users to remain stress-free and worry-free about their important things as they carry the same along with them wherever they go. You may just hang these stripes or bands as made available by lanyards UK or such other service providers around your neck or other parts of the body and go wherever you wish to. The pins attached these lanyards help in the fast attachment of the given things and hence the chances of losing the same are ruled out. There are some important considerations as given below that you surely need to take into account when choosing any types of lanyards for you.
What purpose is to be served by the lanyards?
It is perhaps one of the most important points that you need to consider when choosing the best lanyards for you. It is because different types of bands or strips are presented and supplied by lanyards UK or other sources to the users as per their unique needs. Thus you need to pay attention to the specific purpose that you wish to serve with the help of lanyards as you are going to acquire the same.
Definitely, the prices of the lanyards are also an important factor that needs to be taken into account when it comes to getting the most appropriate one for you. You may prefer getting quotations from different sources and then make rough comparisons in order to decide on the most reasonably priced lanyards for you.
The materials of the lanyards are also an important factor that allows you to choose and decide on the best ones for you. Again it depends upon the specific purpose to be served by the lanyards. You need to choose sturdy materials to hold heavier things.
What size did you need?
Size is also an important consideration that needs to be kept in mind when you are going to get the best one for you. Also, it depends upon the size of the users and the specific objects to be carried along with these bands or strips.
Considering these important points you may successfully get the best lanyards for your specific purpose.

I couldn't find a book that introduced the libertarian philosophy and also gave lots of information about the Libertarian Party from an insider's perspective. So, in 2013, I wrote the book myself!
It's called Introduction to the Libertarian Party.
I think this book will help you be a better Libertarian activist, and may help you explain to your friends why you support the Libertarian Party.
What does a libertarian government look like?
How many Libertarians are there?
How I won my first county chairman position!
Why run for office as a Libertarian?
Are Libertarians wasting their votes?
I'm paying for the cost of the book out of my own pocket because I want to help you be a more prepared Libertarian.

Throughout the Bible, Jesus used people in spite of their problems or failures. Matthew probably didn't have very many friends. He was a Jew who worked for the Roman government. He was a tax collector. Nobody likes tax collectors. Matthew was dishonest and driven by greed. He thought that money was the most important thing in life that he violated God's law to get rich at the expense of the people. But Jesus called him and told him to follow Him; and he did. (Matthew 9:9) How many times has God called you?
Then there was Peter who was emotionally unstable, self-sufficient, impulsive and would lose his temper. In reading through the Bible, it seems like Peter messed up a lot. In Matthew 14:22-31 we read that Peter was walking on water trusting in Jesus, and then he messed up. He took his eyes off Jesus as he started sinking. Sometimes we sink in our problems when we take our eyes off of Jesus. We think we've messed up so bad that we don't reach our hand out to Him and ask for help.
Have you ever felt like God can't use you? I'm so messed up…I have too many problems…I've messed up so bad in the past…If God used Matthew and Peter, He could use you. Nothing is impossible with God and He can turn something messy into something good.
A lo largo dela Biblia, Jesús usó la gente a pesar de sus problemas o fallas. Mateo probablemente no tenía muchos amigos. Él era un Judio que trabajaba para el gobierno romano. Él era un recaudador de impuestos. A nadie le gustan los recaudadores de impuestos. Mateo era deshonesto e impulsado por la codicia. Él pensó que el dinero era lo más importante en la vida que él violó la ley de Dios para enriquecerse a costa de la gente.Pero Jesús lo llamó y le dijo que lo siguiera, y él lo hizo.(Mateo 9:9) ¿Cuántas veces Dios te ha llamado?
Luego hay Pedro quien era emocionalmente inestable, autosuficiente, impulsivo y perdía los estribos. Al leer la Biblia, parece que Pedro era muy desordenado. En Mateo 14:22-31 leemos que Pedro estaba caminando sobre el agua confiando en Jesús, y luego fallo. Se quitó sus ojos de Jesús cuando empezó a hundirse. A veces nos hundimos en nuestros problemas cuando quitamos nuestros ojos de Jesús. Creemos que hemos hecho tan mal que no extendemos nuestra mano hacia él y pedimos ayuda.
¿Alguna vez has sentido como que Dios no puede usarte? Estoy tan desordenado... tengo demasiados problemas... he cometido tantas errores en el pasado... Si Dios usó a Mateo y a Pedro, podría usarte también. Nada es imposible para Dios y Él puede convertir algo desordenado en algo bueno.
This month's youth service was about bringing light into this dark world. John 8:12 tells us that Jesus is the Light of the world, and to anyone who believes in Him, He promises to bring light into our lives. Once we accept that light, it's our job to bring that light to those living in darkness.
What would it be like to live without light? Imagine walking through a room filled with stuff in total darkness. You would probably get all bruised up bumping into everything right? What would you need to do to see where you're going? You would turn on the light right? Just as you would turn on the light to walk through that dark room, we need the Light of Jesus to walk through this dark world. Jesus tells us in John 12:46: " I have come to the world as its light to keep anyone who believes in Me from remaining in the darkness. "
Praise be to God, 5 youth members made a commitment to God tonight to bring the light of Christ to this world!
Este mes, el servicio de los jóvenes se trató de traer la luz en este mundo oscuro. Juan 8:12 nos dice que Jesús es la Luz del mundo, y para todo aquel que en Él cree, Él promete traer luz a nuestras vidas. Una vez que aceptamos esa luz, es nuestro trabajo llevar la luz a los que viven en tinieblas.
¿Cómo sería vivir sin luz? Imagínese caminando a través de una habitación llena de cosas en una oscuridad total. Es probable que recibamos golpes y podríamos tropezar con todo verdad? ¿Qué necesitamos hacer para poder ver dónde nos dirigimos? Tenemos que encender la luz verdad? Asi como necesitamos encender la luz para caminar a través de esa habitación oscura, necesitamos la luz de Jesús para caminar por este mundo oscuro. Jesús nos dice en Juan 12:46: " Yo soy la luz que ha venido al mundo, para que todo el que crea en mí no viva en tinieblas. "
La luz de Jesús se ofrece a todos, pero cada uno de nosotros tiene que tomar la decisión de aceptar o rechazar su luz. ¿Estás viviendo en la oscuridad? ¿Quieres dejar la oscuridad atrás? Tenemos que comprometernos en nuestras vidas y poner toda nuestra confianza en Jesús, que dijo: "Yo soy la luz del mundo; el que me sigue, no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la luz de la vida. "

Responsive Regulation
Ian Ayres
Author: Ian Ayres
Drawing extensively on empirical studies from the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand, John Braithwaite and Ian Ayres offer an well-argued addition to the comparative literature on government regulation. In an effort to transcend the ongoing debate between those who favour strong state regulation and those who call for deregulation, they argue that regulation does not have to proceed with an adversarial tone, nor does it have to be 'soft' or 'hard' to be effective.

Restorative Justice & Responsive Regulation
John Braithwaite
Author: John Braithwaite
Publisher: Oxford University Press on Demand
Category : Law
Braithwaite's argument against punitive justice systems and for restorative justice systems establishes that there are good theoretical and empirical grounds for anticipating that well designed restorative justice processes will restore victims, offenders, and communities better than existing criminal justice practices. Counterintuitively, he also shows that a restorative justice system may deter, incapacitate, and rehabilitate more effectively than a punitive system. This is particularly true when the restorative justice system is embedded in a responsive regulatory framework that opts for deterrence only after restoration repeatedly fails, and incapacitation only after escalated deterrence fails. Braithwaite's empirical research demonstrates that active deterrence under the dynamic regulatory pyramid that is a hallmark of the restorative justice system he supports, is far more effective than the passive deterrence that is notable in the stricter sentencing grid of current criminal justice systems.

Regulatory Capitalism
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
In this sprawling and ambitious book John Braithwaite successfully manages to link the contemporary dynamics of macro political economy to the dynamics of citizen engagement and organisational activism at the micro intestacies of governance practices. This is no mean feat and the logic works. . . Stephen Bell, The Australian Journal of Public Administration Everyone who is puzzled by modern regulocracy should read this book. Short and incisive, it represents the culmination of over twenty years work on the subject. It offers us a perceptive and wide-ranging perspective on the global development of regulatory capitalism and an important analysis of points of leverage for democrats and reformers. Christopher Hood, All Souls College, Oxford, UK It takes a great mind to produce a book that is indispensable for beginners and experts, theorists and policymakers alike. With characteristic clarity, admirable brevity, and his inimitable mix of description and prescription, John Braithwaite explains how corporations and states regulate each other in the complex global system dubbed regulatory capitalism. For Braithwaite aficionados, Regulatory Capitalism brings into focus the big picture created from years of meticulous research. For Braithwaite novices, it is a reading guide that cannot fail to inspire them to learn more. Carol A. Heimer, Northwestern University, US Reading Regulatory Capitalism is like opening your eyes. John Braithwaite brings together law, politics, and economics to give us a map and a vocabulary for the world we actually see all around us. He weaves together elements of over a decade of scholarship on the nature of the state, regulation, industrial organization, and intellectual property in an elegant, readable, and indispensable volume. Anne-Marie Slaughter, Princeton University, US Encyclopedic in scope, chock full of provocative even jarring claims, Regulatory Capitalism shows John Braithwaite at his transcendental best. Ian Ayres, Yale Law School, Yale University, US Contemporary societies have more vibrant markets than past ones. Yet they are more heavily populated by private and public regulators. This book explores the features of such a regulatory capitalism, its tendencies to be cyclically crisis-ridden, ritualistic and governed through networks. New ways of thinking about resultant policy challenges are developed. At the heart of this latest work by John Braithwaite lies the insight by David Levi-Faur and Jacint Jordana that the welfare state was succeeded in the 1970s by regulatory capitalism. The book argues that this has produced stronger markets, public regulation, private regulation and hybrid private/public regulation as well as new challenges such as a more cyclical quality to crises of market and governance failure, regulatory ritualism and markets in vice. However, regulatory capitalism also creates opportunities for better design of markets in virtue such as markets in continuous improvement, privatized enforcement of regulation, open source business models, regulatory pyramids with networked escalation and meta-governance of justice. Regulatory Capitalism will be warmly welcomed by regulatory scholars in political science, sociology, history, economics, business schools and law schools as well as regulatory bureaucrats, policy thinkers in government and law and society scholars.

Governing through Regulation
Eric Windholz
Author: Eric Windholz
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Over the past forty years, numerous theoretical advances have been made. From Ayres' and Braithwaite's ground breaking work on 'responsive regulation', we have seen models of 'smart regulation', 'regulatory governance' and 'regulatory capitalism' emerge to capture the growing prevalence and importance of regulation in modern liberal Western capitalist societies. Important advances also have been made in the practice of regulation, with regulators evolving from traditional enforcement focussed 'command and control' models to being 'modern regulators' with a suite of diverse and innovative regulatory tools at their disposal. The book presents and critically examines these theoretical and practical developments from the perspective of governments who design regulations, and the regulators that deploy them. In doing so, the book examines the various forces and interests that influence and shape the regulatory endeavour, and the practical challenges facing governments and regulators when deciding whether and how to regulate. This volume is a study of regulation in context: in the context of the public policy it is designed to deliver; the law that enables, shapes and holds it to account; and the evolving societal and institutional frameworks within which it takes place. Aimed to provide innovative cross-disciplinary conceptual frameworks that regulators, regulatees, those whom regulation is intended to benefit, and academics, might employ to better understand and undertake the regulatory endeavour. This will be of great interest to researchers, educators, advanced students and practitioners working in the fields of political science, public management and administration, and public policy. .

Enforcing Pollution Control Regulation
Carolyn Abbot
Author: Carolyn Abbot
Monitoring and enforcement issues must be analysed when determining the effectiveness of pollution control regulation, and clearly influence choices about how to regulate. This book demonstrates how an economic analysis of law enforcement can generate important insights into how best to enforce pollution control regulation. It seeks to provide a clear and accessible way into the law and economics literature on enforcement. More specifically, it uses Gary Becker's deterrence model which, by differentiating between two enforcement variables (namely the probability of apprehension and conviction and the severity of sanction), facilitates a comparison of the effectiveness of different enforcement tools in inducing desirable behaviour. As such, it provides a valuable analytical tool in considering how best to pursue cost-effective enforcement. Major themes to be addressed include Becker's deterrence model and expansions thereof, reasons for compliance, environmental enforcement strategies and the importance of a deterrence threat and formal pollution control law enforcement mechanisms such as prosecution and criminal sanctions, administrative mechanisms and civil liability. The book argues that in pursuing cost-effective enforcement much can be learned from examining enforcement practices in different jurisdictions, and to this end the author examines pollution control laws, enforcement strategies and sanctions in Australia, Canada and England and Wales. The book makes an important contribution to existing literature on environmental law enforcement, but its value extends beyond this. The theoretical framework adopted and the range of issues discussed make it of interest to regulatory and public law scholars more generally.

Restorative and Responsive Human Services
Gale Burford
Author: Gale Burford
In Restorative and Responsive Human Services, Gale Burford, John Braithwaite, and Valerie Braithwaite bring together a distinguished collection providing rich lessons on how regulation in human services can proceed in empowering ways that heal and are respectful of human relationships and legal obligations. The human services are in trouble: combining restorative justice with responsive regulation might redeem them, renewing their well-intended principles. Families provide glue that connects complex systems. What are the challenges in scaling up relational practices that put families and primary groups at the core of health, education, and other social services? This collection has a distinctive focus on the relational complexity of restorative practices. How do they enable more responsive ways of grappling with complexity than hierarchical and prescriptive human services? Lessons from responsive business regulation inform a re-imagining of the human services to advance wellbeing and reduce domination. Readers are challenged to re-examine the perverse incentives and contradictions buried in policies and practices. How do they undermine the capacities of families and communities to solve problems on their own terms? This book will interest those who harbor concerns about the creep of domination into the lives of vulnerable citizens. It will help policymakers and researchers to re-focus human services to fundamental outcomes at the foundation of sustainable democracies.

New Global Frontiers in Regulation
Graeme A. Hodge
Author: Graeme A. Hodge
This is an insightful collection by leading thinkers in both regulation and nanotechnology. It confronts new technological challenges with fresh regulatory insight. John Braithwaite, Australian National University Our growing ability to manufacture materials at the atomic scale will change our lives for the better, and tomorrow s nano-economy will outperform today s information age. Or so its proponents claim. Others maintain that a future dominated by commercial incentives risks a toxicological nightmare to rival the sorry global story of asbestos. This important volume is a timely contribution to increasing international calls to regulate nanotechnologies. By investigating the ways in which we could regulate these advances, and what we are learning from regulating existing technologies, such as biotechnologies and information technologies, the book debates the roles of government, business actors and the professions in protecting and enhancing the lives of citizens. In placing particular emphasis on the lessons of earlier technology advances, this book is unique in its broad consideration of the ethical, legal and social issues entwined within the development of the nanotechnology family. The multi-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary nature of the book will appeal to governments, academics, and civil societies across many parts of the world, while also remaining accessible to informed readers with an interest in nanotechnology and the policy and governance issues associated with technology development and regulation.
Polymer Electrolytes
Author: Tan Winie
A comprehensive overview of the main characterization techniques of polymer electrolytes and their applications in electrochemical devices Polymer Electrolytes is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the characterization and applications of polymer electrolytes. The authors ? noted experts on the topic ? discuss the various characterization methods, including impedance spectroscopy and thermal characterization. The authors also provide information on the myriad applications of polymer electrolytes in electrochemical devices, lithium ion batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells and electrochromic windows.

Applications of Electroactive Polymers
Author: Bruno Scrosati
Electroactive polymers have been the object of increasing academic and industrial interest and in the past ten to fifteen years substantial progress has been achieved in the development and the characterization of this important new class of conducting materials. These materials are usually classified in two large groups, according to the mode of their electric transport. One group includes polymers having transport almost exclusively of the ionic type and they are often called 'polymer electrolytes' or, in a broader way, 'polymer ionics'. The other group includes polymeric materials where the transport mechanism is mainly electronic in nature and which are commonly termed 'conducting polymers'. Ionically conducting polymers or polymer ionics may be typically described as polar macromolecular solids in which one or more of a wide range of salts has been dissolved. The most classic example is the combina tion of poly(ethylene oxide), PEO, and lithium salts, LiX. These PEO-LiX polymer ionics were first described and proposed for applications just over ten years ago. The practical relevance of these new materials was im mediately recognized and in the course of a few years the field expanded tremendously with the involvement of many academic and industrial lab oratories. Following this diversified research activity, the ionic transport mechanism in polymer ionics was soon established and this has led to the development of new host polymers of various types, new salts and advanced polymer architectures which have enabled room temperature conductivity to be raised by several orders of magnitude.

At 73 I don't say anything but positive things to people because some are ready to go on full attack if threatened.
The truth is there is little budget left in California for any type of law enforcement.
How many Highway Patrol cars do you see on California freeways today?
Hmmm,.... "The truth is there is little budget left in California for any type of law enforcement." Seems like that's too broad a statement. According to media reports, California is in the black and has surplus resources as Brown leaves office. If you're referring to budget for enforcement at CA Fish & Wildlife only, I'd tend to agree as they seem to be in a perpetual state of under funding for the scope of their area and duties.

If I was King for a day........all revenue from fish and "wildlife" fees would NOT go the the general fund for the state.
Only 20% of fines go the F&W. the rest goes to the county where the violation occurred, and not to more wardens.
Lets hold Gavin"s feet to the fire, and make a change.....IF there is really a surplus of money, now is the time to make a change.

observe and report is the safest.
I try and make an assessment if perhaps the individual is just not informed. If I think this is the case I will find a polite way to educate them.
Its called profiling and stereotyping haha illegal for law enforcement but not for me!!
If it is obvious that they are an intentional poacher it may be best to observe and report.
It does not matter how young and buff you are.... if you bring a fly rod to a gun fight.
There is a reason wardens started caring guns!! They were getting shot at.
The State of California commonly takes the money from the fishing and hunting licenses fund and rolls it over to the general fund.
I was going to college to be a fisheries biologist when I ran into a biologist from the CDF&G.
He told me they were run by the politicians and had little say in what they did to make things better.....that was 1960s.
All our CA government agencies are not on our side.......they would love to stop all hunting and fishing.
This is the richest state in America and look at the condition of our failing fisheries?
In my lifetime it is almost gone.
When I was young everyone caught fish and got game hunting.
I really saw the sad failing of everything working in the fishing and hunting business for 50 years.
Today you need to be a very good angler or with a guide to catch anything.
Take pictures and videos of them then call caltip when you get back into service. Usually when you first get connected, you can tell them it's an active poaching event and they will put you in touch with a warden immediately.
They'll be taking action soon on the Sac and tributaries. Follow the news, write letters, and attend the public hearings and speak up for rivers.
This is always a scary situation. These days I hunt more than i fish, and with that most participants are armed. Over observe and report, a citizens arrest is within your rights as a law abiding and tax paying American. Is it reccomended by any LEO, no. I have been a part of one and it was a very tense situation. We encountered a group rifle hunting during archery, and made it plainly clear it would not stand. Call the cops and mention theres firearms involved and you can more or less bet on a much faster response.

A Conversation with Louisa Thomas Hargrave
Louisa Thomas Hargrave is the doyenne of the Long Island wine business, having established the very first wine vineyard, Hargrave Vineyard, in 1973 with her (then) husband, Alex Hargrave. They were true pioneers, determined to plant vinifera grapes where they had never successfully grown before, even in the face of well-meant advice against taking on such a risky venture. Neither of them had ever farmed until they planted the vineyard.
At the time she was a recent college graduate, having gone to Harvard, earning her BA in Government at Smith, and thence to Simmons College to earn a MAT (Masters of Arts in Teaching). But she and Alex had caught the wine bug, and became seriously interested in starting a vineyard and winery of their own, with the idea of producing quality wine from V. vinifera grapes in the styles of Bordeaux and Burgundy. Consequently, Louisa next went to the University of Rochester to study Calculus and Chemistry, and further studied the latter at Stony Brook University with the idea that she could apply what she had learned to the making of wine.
Louisa & Alex Hargrave, 1975
After planting vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc in the original 17-acre field of the old potato farm that had become Hargrave Vineyard, Louisa went to the Cornell Cooperative Extension program to earn a Certificate in Land Use Planning in 1974, an ongoing interest of hers as Suffolk County and New York State developed new laws and regulations that had an impact on her ability to farm. By 1998 Louisa had been awarded a Doctor of Science, honoris causa, from Dowling College, in recognition of her contributions to viticulture in Long Island.
Between the very solid academic credentials that Louisa has earned over the years and the deep and long experience of establishing and maintaining a vineyard for twenty-six years, as well as making wine and running a successful winery, Louisa has perhaps the most sound credentials of anyone in the Long Island wine world. Furthermore, after selling Hargrave Vineyard in 1999, when she and her husband agreed to separate, she went on to establish Winewise LLC, a consulting firm for the wine industry. She was director of the Stony Brook University Center for Wine, Food, and Culture from 2004 to 2009, and is continuing to work as a writer on the subject of wine, viticulture, and winemaking for various publications, including her own blog, www.vinglorious.com.
Louisa has also written a well-received memoir, The Vineyard: The Pleasures and Perils of Creating an American Family Winery (Viking/Penguin, 2003), about the joys and challenges of running a family winery and vineyard. Earlier, in 1986, she had contributed an essay, "The History of Wine Grapes on Long Island," to the Long Island Historical Journal. Most recently she wrote about the terroir of Long Island in an article for Edible East End, "The Dirt Below our Feet."
Given those credentials and that experience, I cannot think of a better-qualified person to speak to about some of the issues bearing on the viniculture of Long Island. To meet Louisa is to encounter someone who is direct, forthcoming, very well-informed, and definitely opinionated. She is petite, bespectacled, and wears her silver hair long. She has no pretensions or airs, but she does not suffer fools. Given her high profile in Long Island, she frequently has requests from schoolchildren or their parents for an interview so that they can write a paper for school. Her response is simple: "When you've read my book, The Vineyard, get back to me and we can talk." So far there have been no takers.
Fortunately for me, I had read The Vineyard, so that made getting my interview with Louisa that much easier.
Louisa initiated the conversation by making the point that there are two types of wineries in Long Island: those that cater to the tourist trade and those that focus on making quality wines. (Several do both, but most emphasize one or the other). Of the top quality wineries, she cited Bedell Cellars, Channing Daughters, Lenz Winery, Paumanok Vineyards, and Peconic Bay Vineyards. Given that all of the Long Island wineries depend on retail sales for a major part of their income and nearly all have tasting rooms for the wine tourists who are a significant part of their business, I inferred from what she said that some of these wineries seek to attract tourists and tourist groups with large tasting rooms, provide access for buses, and offer space for parties, weddings, and so on. While some of these are serious about their wines, such as McCall, The Old Field Vineyards, and Pellegrini, a handful is really focused on the tourist trade, perhaps to the detriment of the wines they make—good enough for the tourists, but certainly not world-class.
One way to judge a winery is by looking at their containers—the smaller the container, such as an oak cask (typically of 225 liters, the size of Bordeaux casks) the more serious is the winemaking, as it costs more time and work to manage. Large containers tend to be used for large-scale production and do not allow for the blending of batches for refining the way the wine tastes and smells the way that small ones do.
She also made clear that there is a fundamental difference between vineyards that seek to grow the highest quality fruit possible by practicing 'green harvesting,' which means removing bunches of fruit in the middle of the growing season—sometimes as much as third to a half of the developing crop, in order to improve the quality of the fruit that remains. The result, of course, is a smaller crop, but wines made from such fruit will be richer, more flavorful, more interesting. This will not be true of vineyards that primarily grow and sell their wine grapes to wineries. These vineyards seek to maximize their grape production, as they sell grapes by the ton and they would receive nearly the same price regardless of whether or not they practiced 'green' harvesting. In this case, quantity trumps quality.
I had a few prepared questions for Louisa, to wit:
When you started your vineyard there was no concept of 'sustainable' viticulture, although 'organic' and Biodynamic agriculture was already being practiced in some places. Was there a point at which you and Alex decided to move towards sustainable viniculture, and if so, how did you go about it?
"Ecology was very much a part of the vocabulary when we planted our vineyard, and we had stayed at an organic farm some years before. Still, it was fungicides that made it possible for us to plant V. vinifera vines in our vineyard. Historically, those who had attempted to grow these European wine grapes had failed because they had no tools to combat the fungi and other pests indigenous to North America. We recognized that techniques like grafting and amendments like copper sulfate and other fungicides developed after 1870 now made it possible to successfully grow these plants that previously had not survived here. We also perceived that cold-sensitive vinifera might survive on the North Fork of Long Island, due to the moderating effects of the Gulf Stream and Peconic Bay, when they had failed to survive in the more continental climates of other parts of the east coast.
"We even planted some Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc on their own roots, because the sandy soils of Long Island made it difficult for root pests (like Phylloxera) to establish themselves. Nevertheless, we really didn't want to use sprays except to the extent necessary. Although we did use herbicides at times, when weeds became excessive, we always tried to control them mechanically (which usually meant hand-hoeing and weed pulling in areas that the side-hoe on the tractor could not reach). Late sprays before harvest can affect fermentation, so we did not use fungicides after mid-August. The fact of the matter is that wrestling wine to the ground is very, very complex.
"We embraced the estate approach from the very beginning—in other words, our wines would be made only from the grapes that came from our vineyard, as is the case with Bordeaux chateau. In later years, we did purchase some fruit for our second label, Chardonette, in order to be able to offer a less-expensive, entry-level wine.
"Our wines were made with no residual sugars; malolactic fermentation was complete in all our wines, and we applied minimum sulfites—none at crush time—because we did not want to destroy the indigenous microflora. The natural acid in wine, at a pH lower than 4.0, makes it impossible for bacteria harmful to people to survive, but some sulfites were needed during aging to protect the wines from yeast or bacteria that harm wine by creating vinegar or off-odors, especially after the malolactic fermentation, when the pH would rise to a less protective level, as high as 3.7 in Pinot Noir especially.
"I am interested in biodynamic techniques but have never practiced them. There are pros and cons to every agricultural practice. Recently, I visited a biodynamically-farmed vineyard in Champagne that was using horses to work the fields. The idea was to avoid the hardpan that can develop after running a tractor over the vineyards many times and compacting the soil, as the hardpan that results is virtually impenetrable and can harm the nourishment of the vines. However, the vintner who showed me the horses commented that, while using horses was good for the soil, it was not good for the horses—the soils were so dry that the horse could go lame. That, then, is not really a good option for sustainability.
"With respect to Biodynamic sprays I should point out that these need DEC [Department of Environmental Conservation] approval, as does anything that is applied to crops. All must have a seal of approval and licensing from the DEC. DEC guidelines are not always clear and are subject to change without notice. Because the DEC is funded by fines levied against farmers in violation of their guidelines, it behooves its inspectors to find violations and levy what can be very heavy fines. It's a real problem, and it has to be fixed by providing financing for it by New York State. In my memoir, I describe an untoward incident we had with the DEC that illustrates how this agency has, in the course of implementing laws intended to protect the environment, veered off course in a way that persecutes unwitting and well-intentioned farmers like ourselves."
Looking back on how you went about establishing Hargrave Vineyards in 1973, how would you start up differently as a pioneer, given what you know now? For example, would you plant Pinot Noir again, or something else? What about preparation of the soil?
First, Louisa said, "I'd start with a south-facing slope, and then I'd use compost with biodynamic elements to maintain the vineyard." "You said 'biodynamic' but did you mean 'organic?'" "No, I said 'biodynamic,' meaning that the soil amendments would reflect the concept of the farm as a unified system of life forces, cycling between times of birth, growth, fruition, decay, and rebirth."
We had discussed Biodynamics at some length, and Louisa said that she agreed with other viniculturalists, like Sam McCullough and Kareem Massoud, who think that some aspects of Biodynamics may actually work, though it may not need all the mystical components to be effective. While she does believe that there can be something that could be called "energy" in wine, perhaps due to the level of acidity—it has to do with what makes the wine appealing, or exciting, or perhaps there's something else to which people respond when they drink it. Whether or not there is some kind of cosmic energy that comes from the planets and the stars, or that has to do with affinities between horns and earth or anything like that. It may very well be that the biota that is in the compost teas is really healthy for the vines. [As an aside, I would like to note that that this has not been borne out in any scientific tests that I know of, but it's clear that even viticulturalists who would not seek to enter the Demeter program for Biodynamic Certification are open to the possibility that the compost teas have some efficacious attributes.]
Louisa further remarked that, "although growing and making wine from Pinot Noir proved to be most challenging, I would do it again. I learned more from my efforts to ripen this "heartbreak grape" and to tame its hard tannins than from any other variety. Success with it is not assured, but when it comes, it makes extraordinarily wonderful wine on Long Island.
Do you think that the Cornell VineBalance program has made a real difference in the vinicultural practices in LI? It doesn't have many actual members—about six, I believe.
"The VineBalance program only has a few members because participation requires detailed record-keeping and a lot of paperwork, which are time-consuming and costly. This doesn't mean that VineBalance isn't important to the rest of the vineyards. It provides all kinds of guidance. Vineyard managers can and do take courses on sustainable viniculture, including pesticide use, which requires certification. Cornell provides many seminars and brings experts from other regions here to discuss many aspects of viticulture, including organic interventions and sustainable practices. So VineBalance, under the direction of Alice Wise at the Cornell Agricultural Extension station in Riverhead, does play a significant role in the viniculture of Long Island."
Louisa concluded our conversation by saying, "Agriculture in Long Island must be kept alive, even if eventually grapes may have to give way to cabbages. That's fine, as long as the farms remain."
With that remark, Louisa speaks in a way that is characteristic of her and her deep commitment not only to growing wine, but sustaining agriculture. The East End is a beautiful area, and the North Fork still retains a quality of the bucolic and rural thanks to its working farms and vineyards.

Long Island owes her many thanks for all that she's done and continues to do.

20 Jul Kate Gould Wins 5th Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show 2018
Posted at 17:30h in Uncategorized by kate.gould
This year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show was a world-class celebration of spring, with the horticultural delights and surprises encompassing everything from cacti to concrete. But without question, the highlight for Kate Gould Gardens in 2018 was winning a fifth gold medal, for our New West End Garden in the Space to Grow Category.
The concept behind the garden.
Designed as a fresh take on the traditional London square, New West End Garden is the latest creation from the Kate Gould Gardens team. With air pollution in London reaching illegal levels just a month into 2018, we wanted to create a space that would provide some respite, as well as helping to clean up the atmosphere. So the plants within the garden were selected for their ability to thrive in a highly polluted environment and to absorb the harmful gases present in the London air.
Sustainability and consideration for the environment is a theme that is echoed throughout the garden, which features innovative paving tiles that harvest the energy produced when people walk on them. The energy is used to power light boxes that turn on as darkness falls in the city.
Construction of the New West End Garden at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The behind the scenes work involved in the production of the Chelsea Flower show for both the organisers and the entrants is both great fun and all consuming. We wanted to share with you some pictures of the build-up which demonstrates what the site looked like before the garden was completed and a progression through some major stages.
A haven for busy Londoners.
Following the Chelsea Flower Show, the garden, sponsored by the Sir Simon Milton Foundation, will be relocated to Old Quebec Street, near Oxford Street in London's West End. In a newly pedestrianised area, the New West End Garden will be a communal space that offers an oasis in the heart of the busy capital city. Featuring walls crafted from Ashlar masonry, and sheltered by trees around the border, the garden will provide a calm, private space where Londoners can escape for a few moments to enjoy the colourful blooms. It will be open to be enjoyed in all its glory at the Portman Summer Street Party on 15 July 2018.
Award winners in the Space to Grow category.
The Chelsea Flower Show is always a fantastic showcase for creativity and innovation in the garden, and Kate's garden stood shoulder to shoulder with other winners in the Space to Grow category, including The Pearlfisher Garden, which featured an array of marine life in aquatic tanks, The Seedlip Garden, which celebrated the beauty of edible plants, and Urban Flow Garden, whose diverse range of plants provide interest all year round, and were selected to cope with both wet and dry conditions. It's always an honour to be recognised alongside these other talented garden designers.
Accepting the award, Kate Gould said: "We would like to thank the RHS shows team and all the site staff who make the Chelsea Flower Show possible and for supporting us all the way with this garden. Myself and the team are absolutely thrilled to have won a gold medal for a sponsored garden and we would like to thank the Sir Simon Milton Foundation and New West End Company for asking us to be a part of this project."

Q: Migrated Workflow models and scripts for 6.3 to 6.5 AEM upgrade, Scripts are not getting picked up I migrated my aem instance from 6.3 to 6.5 and the model got migrated and are working well. But the workflow with scripts are not working because it is not able to pick up the script from the location (checked both before/after migrating scripts to new locations it was through same error). The OOTB scripts are also not getting picked for usage.

Any help would be appreciated.

A: I was running into a similar issue. I was getting:

can't find method
  org.apache.sling.scripting.core.impl.InternalScriptHelper.getService(object).
  (/etc/workflow/scripts/..../*.ecma

I looked at the code and found that there was an error where we were getting resourceresolver and it seems it has changed, so instead of
var resolver = sling.getService(Packages.org.apache.sling.jcr.resource.JcrResourceResolverFactory).getResourceResolver(session);

used this and error was gone
var resolver = sling.getRequest().getResource().getResourceResolver();
