Massey Dacta | From Dairy Farmers to Winemakers
Wendy and Owen Glover, fourth-generation farmers, were among the first to plant grapes on their farm in Marlborough's Dillon's Point in New Zealand in 1988.
Wendy and Owen Glover, fourth-generation farmers, were among the first to plant grapes on their farm in Marlborough's Dillon's Point in New Zealand in 1988. Organically farmed, Massey Dacta wines are a true expression of authentic rural farming that chooses family over corporations. The Glover family are advocates for sustainability and mindful consumption.
When Owen Glover took over the dairy farm in his very early twenties, he always made sure that the family was running a sustainable operation while maximizing the potential of the land. After 30 years, he saw an opportunity to switch from dairy farmer to grape grower. He had a feeling that his land had the potential to produce world–class wine. He made the shift by selling the dairy herd and planting grapes in 1985.
Owen Glover
Today, Ben Glover, his oldest son, runs the family winemaking operation, Glover Family Vineyards, along with his wife Susie and their children. His two youngest siblings, Lucy, with her husband Francis, and Jack along with his partner Georgie, are also part of the venture. Ben completed a post graduate diploma in viticulture and winemaking and has over 25 years of experience as a national and international wine judge. He is dedicated to quality wine, both as a winemaker and a wine drinker. His winemaking philosophy? "Listen to your environment, understand your surroundings. You are there to make a sensual medium so that your customer can see the vineyard through a lens."
The farm is 65 ha in size, of which 50 are being dedicated to grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Noir. Choosing these grapes was influenced by a well-known and powerful Māori concept, Turangawaewae. "It's all about listening and understanding where you stand, your sense of place. (…) For us, these varieties are ones we feel are a pure expression of where we stand on this land." says Ben.
When asked if the family has any regrets in going from dairy farming to winemaking, Ben quickly answers: "Why would we? We all know wine is much better for you than milk, and the Marlborough region is the premier New World Wine region globally."
INTERVIEW WITH BEN GLOVER
How did you end up in Winemaking?
I had no idea what I wanted to do so I went to university and realised that I was too dumb for law, accountancy or medicine. I also realised that  being outdoors or at least that connection was very important to me. I finished up with a Marketing degree and then did a Viti and wine Post grad with the thought of returning home to the farm and kicking dad off the farm… He is still there! And…I realised that I liked living in the grey space – the place between black and white – and winemaking and working with the elements such as climate and agriculture was just that. The winemaking side of it is like working with a palate and providing the imbiber with the purest form of what the land – the farm expresses.
Why is Chardonnay your favourite?
I have worked with this same fruit for 24 years, so I am a bit taken with this variety – also I believe along with Riesling it is part of the Great Whites (They are Shark Wines)
What is your inspiration in winemaking?
I'm not a big fan of this question sorry… However, there is the individual inspiration, there are things or people you look to. At the end, you apply experience and maturity to what you are doing and the inspiration comes from within and from your daily surroundings: Your partner, children, parents, siblings, peers, mates, the environs etc.
Which wine are you most proud of?
To choose one would be like choosing one of your children.
Ferguson tractor: Can you please share with members a childhood memory around the tractor?
I have fond memories of feeding out, shifting irrigation, moving electric fences, following dad in my gumboots and trying to step into his large footprints – never could. It was a special way to grow up. The Massey Fergusan tractor or Massey Dacta personifies growing up in rural New Zealand. I loved that tractor, but could never say it correctly as a 2-3yr old. I was driving tractors and trucks, motorbikes by the time I was 5, and helping along with my brothers and sister on the farm. We had no idea that it was "farm work'! It was fun, it was outdoors, and we could be dirty!
Do your children spire to follow in your footsteps? How are they involved in the vineyard?
The family farm is family – it is an intrinsic undertaking and understanding, we work around our children and they work around us, sometimes we work together – There is no pressure on them to continue in the family business. Any one of them want to want it. And at the moment being 16-11yrs old – they are way too young – they need to just enjoy being Kids!

List Rules Pilot episodes only
The greatest TV pilots of all-time are single episodes of television that introduced us to what would soon be iconic characters and casts. A TV pilot is the first episode of a TV sitcom, drama, cartoon, or even reality show that introduces the cast and story to audiences and asks them (in as little as 22 minutes) to stick around and watch the show throughout its run. While many of these shows are now considered to be among the best TV shows of all time, many didn't know they were watching the beginnings of history when they tuned in to these top TV pilot episodes.
Some of the greatest TV pilots featured things you didn't think you'd ever hear on television (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia), the introduction of characters that would drive the top cult TV shows of all-time (Twin Peaks, The X-Files), and even moments in TV history that- even a decade before their release- would have been censored and disallowed from ever airing on television (The Following). These greatest TV pilots became some of the best TV shows currently on the air with some of the greatest TV characters ever.
What was the best TV pilot ever? That's what this list is here to help the TV viewing public decide. This list is a round-up of the best sitcom pilots, best sci-fi pilots, and the best drama pilots ever to make it to air on television. If you don't see your favorite TV pilot on the list, make sure to add it so it can compete for the #1 spot on the list of the all-time greatest TV pilots.

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Salicylic Acid Signalling in Plants)
The effects of plant inoculation with plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and those resulting from the exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) or methyl jasmonte (MeJA) on total phenolic content (TPC) and monoterpenes in Mentha x piperita plants were investigated. Although the PGPR inoculation response has been studied for many plant species, the combination of PGPR and exogenous phytohormones has not been investigated in aromatic plant species. The exogenous application of SA produced an increase in TPC that, in general, was of a similar level when applied alone as when combined with PGPR. This increase in TPC was correlated with an increase in the activity of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Also, the application of MeJA at different concentrations in combination with inoculation with PGPR produced an increase in TPC, which was more relevant at 4 mM, with a synergism effect being observed. With respect to the main monoterpene concentrations present in peppermint essential oil (EO), it was observed that SA or MeJA application produced a significant increase similar to that of the combination with rhizobacteria. However, when plants were exposed to 2 mM MeJA and inoculated, an important increase was produced in the concentration on menthol, pulegone, linalool, limonene, and menthone concentrations. Rhizobacteria inoculation, the treatment with SA and MeJA, and the combination of both were found to affect the amount of the main monoterpenes present in the EO of M. piperita. For this reason, the expressions of genes related to the biosynthesis of monoterpene were evaluated, with this expression being positively affected by MeJA application and PGPR inoculation, but was not modified by SA application. Our results demonstrate that MeJA or SA application combined with inoculation with PGPR constitutes an advantageous management practice for improving the production of secondary metabolites from M. piperita.

Palestinian Lawsuit against Balfour Declaration
Monday, 1 August 2016 - 03:14 WIB
Author: Ali Farkhan Tsani
Mauritania, 26 Syawwal 1437/31 July 2016 (MINA) – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas asked Arab leaders to support the lawsuit on the grounds it led to the Palestinian exodus from the state of Israel.
Abbas said the Palestinian Authority would sue Britain for its support of the Balfour Declaration, a document which in 1917 laid the groundwork for Israel's founding, The Atlantic reported.
The announcement was made on Abbas behalf by Riad Maliki, the Palestinian foreign minister, on Wednesday (27 July) at the opening of the 27th Arab League summit in Nouakchott, Mauritania.
Maliki said the suit, which would be filed in an international court, would be made on the grounds that British support for establishing a Jewish homeland in Mandate Palestine led to the Palestinian nakba, or "catastrophe."
Palestinians use the term to describe the displacement of approximately 700,000 Palestinians following the creation of Israel in 1948.
Maliki said the issue will remain pending until Britain apologizes.
The 1917 Balfour Declaration was a written correspondence between Arthur Balfour, the then-British foreign secretary, and Walter Rothschild, a leader in the British Jewish community. It established Britain's support for the creation of a Jewish national home, and was adopted by the international community after World War II.
Maliki called the declaration a "fateful promise from the ones who don't own to the ones who don't deserve."
In addition for calling on Arab states' support of the lawsuit, Maliki reiterated Abbas's backing of the French peace initiative aimed at relaunching Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which last took place in 2014.
The Balfour Declaration will celebrate its centenary in November 2017. (P4/R07)

Q: How can I know what tiles will be rendered in Google Map? So initially I want to render a color for each tile on Google Map according to air pollution level.
I have learned how to customize tile layer from Google's documentation about Tile Layer, with which mine looks similar to the following code:
class TestTileLayer: GMSSyncTileLayer {
    override func tileForX(x: UInt, y: UInt, zoom: UInt) -> UIImage! {
        // On every odd tile, render an image.
        if (x % 2 == 0) {
          return UIImage(named: "australia")
        } else {
          return kGMSTileLayerNoTile;
        }
    }
}

Basically, I want to avoid making one request to server for every tile. I would like to know which tiles will be rendered so I may make one request to get air pollution level for all of the tiles at once.
How do I know which tiles will be rendered in Google Maps, given user's current position, zoom level? Is there an API that does this already? I can't seem to find a direct one.
Thank you!

GANG OF FOUR
GANG OF FOUR (Bande des quatre, La) (director/writer: Jacques Rivette; screenwriters: Pascal Bonitzer/Christine Laurent; cinematographer: Caroline Champetier; editor: Catherine Quesemand; music: Claudio Monteverdi; cast: Bulle Ogier (Constance), Benoît Régent (Thomas), Fejria Deliba (Anna), Laurence Côte (Claude), Bernadette Giraud (Joyce), Inês de Medeiros (Lucia), Nathalie Richard (Cécile); Runtime: 155; Metropolis Pictures; 1988-France)
"This lengthy 155 minute work by Jacques Rivette is both brilliant and frustrating."
This lengthy 155 minute work by Jacques Rivette is both brilliant and frustrating. It represents the director's on-going themes of sexual frustration and paranoia. It centers on four female acting class students living together in a suburban house outside of Paris: Anna (Deliba), Lucia (Medeiros), Claude (Côte), and Joyce (Giraud). Anna has moved into the room vacated by Cécile (Richard). Cécile has left to live in a hidden address with her mysterious boyfriend whom none have met, while she still continues with her acting lessons and like the others must learn to leave her personal life at home while acting. They have a demanding teacher, Constance Dumas (Ogier), in an all-female class, where they rehearse the plays of Marivaux and Euripedes.
A creepy guy, Thomas (Régent), who might be a cop or a criminal cop, is after a set of keys to a safe that holds valuable papers hidden in Cécile's room. Her boyfriend Lucas is involved in some unexplained conspiracy involving Mafia, underground, and political figures.
To secure the keys Thomas tries to sexually entice all the girls, but succeeds only in getting the sexually frustrated Claude romantically involved with him. She's currently in a lesbian relationship with Joyce. All the while the girls are experiencing trouble in their real-life while trying hard to earn money for the high tuition. They are also fretting over their love woes and having to deal with the mysterious Thomas, who is always snooping around. But they practice their acting craft with great passion and love for the theater, as their teacher demands of them.
It results in a chilling tale, but one that leaves a lot of question marks as to how the story ends. The acting is crisp and the film style is original and spellbinding.

Amy Schumer: I'm Still Doing My TV Show
Kevork Djansezian/Reuters
Standup comedian and actress Amy Schumer clarified that, despite previous comments, her popular TV series, Inside Amy Schumer, had not been canceled. "Comedy Central has provided us with a wonderful home and we couldn't he happier here," she wrote on Twitter on Thursday. "I am just touring." She added: "Doing standup and focusing on writing more for the next year at least. We are slated for a Season 5 but not in the foreseeable future." The initial misunderstanding arose after her ex-writer Kurt Metzger received widespread criticism for his response to rape accusations against a fellow comedian. "I didn't fire Kurt. He isn't a writer for my show because we aren't making the show anymore. There are no writers for it," she initially wrote this week, setting off alarms that Inside was officially over.

As Americans, food rules our world. Think about it—if there is an event, birthday, group gathering, office meeting, or wedding planned, you better believe food will be involved. We get it. Food keeps us alive and able to maintain equilibrium within the body, but do you have any idea what types of foods are passed around the table during these gatherings?
Do you have an older family member who swears they can "feel it in their bones" that inclement weather is just around the corner? While you might be tempted to write this off as an old wives' tale, some studies have suggested that an arthritic flare can be linked to extreme dips in temperature or an oncoming rain shower. Arthritis is an incredibly common condition with more than 3 million cases per year in the US alone.

Diabetes is a prevalent disease hampered by a lot of misconceptions, one being that it's not all that serious. The unpleasant truth, according to Sue McLaughlin, the former president of healthcare and education at the American Diabetes Association (ADA), is that diabetes causes more deaths than breast cancer and HIV/AIDs. Yet people with the most common form —type 2 diabetes—are prone to ignoring or downplaying their symptoms, which can result in months, sometimes years without a diagnosis.

Manufacturing and Distribution Industry Perspectives - March 2017
Your monthly blog and industry news roundup-Highlights
Some Considerations for Manufacturers as U.S. Lawmakers Work to Peel Back Regulations
"Stay Nimble": The Mantra for Manufacturing and Distribution Companies in 2017
It took the new Trump administration essentially no time to start issuing executive orders and presidential memoranda designed to ease regulations on U.S. businesses. Certain changes the administration is advocating would be welcome news for manufacturing and distribution companies, such as:
A presidential memorandum that is intended to streamline federal permitting processes for, and to reduce regulatory burdens that affect, domestic manufacturers.
An executive order that orders a review of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DFA). Scaling back these financial regulations, which were instituted in 2010 following the financial crisis, would reduce reporting requirements for many businesses.
Potential Suspension of DFA Section 1502
One DFA-related change that the Trump administration is reportedly considering could benefit many manufacturing and distribution companies: suspension of Section 1502. The so-called Conflict Minerals Rule requires certain public companies to disclose whether they use specific conflict minerals that originated from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or nine adjoining "Covered Countries." Conflict minerals, such as tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold, are used to manufacture products across a wide range of industries, including technology and consumer products. Section 1502 required companies to assess whether any manufactured products contained such minerals and determine whether these materials originated in the Covered Countries by conducting supply chain due diligence and reporting annually.
Overtime Exemption Rule on Ice
The future is also uncertain for the controversial Fair Labor Standards Act overtime rule, which was introduced during the Obama administration and was supposed to go into effect on December 1, 2016. The rule increased the threshold for overtime pay whereby salaried workers who earn less than US$47,476 annually would be eligible for overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours a week. Companies must either compensate these workers with overtime pay or raise their salaries so they are above the threshold.
The National Association of Manufacturing's Centre for Manufacturing Research has estimated that overtime costs for manufacturers will reach $24 billion within the next 10 years under the Obama overtime regulations. However, the final overtime exemption rule under the Fair Labour Standards Act was blocked by a federal court in Texas one week before its effective date. In January, the Trump administration essentially put the rule on ice following a regulations freeze.
Regulatory Risk: It's Still Out There
Manufacturing and distribution executives must consider the potential risks that accompany regulatory changes that are already in the works or that may be on the horizon. Industry executives who took part in the latest Executive Perspectives on Top Risks Survey from Protiviti and North Carolina State University's ERM Initiative cited the following as a top risk for their companies in 2017: Regulatory changes and regulatory scrutiny may heighten, noticeably affecting the manner in which our products or services will be produced or delivered.
Change takes time, and many of the regulatory changes proposed in recent weeks could take years to fully play out. As The Wall Street Journal noted in a recent article about Trump's executive order stipulating that government agencies eliminate two regulations for each new regulation they introduce: "[Any] effort to scrap a regulation triggers its own process, complete with draft rules, comment periods, and regulation rewriting. That process [also] can be subject to litigation."
While certain changes would be welcome by manufacturing companies, the changing global trade landscape must be monitored vigilantly, as well. The Trump administration's approach to trade and negative view toward multinational trade agreements are likely to create previously unanticipated challenges, costs and risks for manufacturing and distribution companies inside and outside of the U.S. For some of these businesses in the U.S., any potential regulatory relief may be offset, at least in the short term, by revisions to free trade agreements that could impact the ability to conduct business with trusted partners in other countries.
Still, for now, manufacturing and distribution companies have a lot to be optimistic about. Even before Trump took office and started taking steps to ease regulations, there were signs that the U.S. manufacturing industry was beginning to grow again. The Institute for Supply Management Index hit 56 percent in January, rising 1.5 percentage points from December and exceeding many economists' expectations. This is the fastest pace of growth in more than two years.
For manufacturing and distribution (M&D) companies, which are already well-conditioned to operating in an uncertain global environment, 2017 promises to continue to keep them on their toes. At the very least, it is likely to present a mixed bag of new challenges and opportunities, and executives will need to ensure that their organisations are nimble enough to pivot quickly when faced with disruptive change.
Among the challenges that M&D companies may face this year are the potential negative impacts on trade stemming from the "hard Brexit" course that British Prime Minister Theresa May has set for the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the new Trump administration's approach to trade is already proving to be a source of consternation for longtime trade partners like China, Canada and Mexico. President Trump has already pulled the United States out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations and is expected to sign an executive order to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). With the volume of cross-border imports and exports, the impact on M&D companies could be significant.
On the other hand, possible opportunities for M&D companies include easing and/or elimination of certain environmental regulations in the United States. President Trump told auto industry leaders at a recent roundtable that in the U.S. "environmental regulations are out of control." Less than a week later, he signed an executive order to reduce regulation and control regulatory costs. The order requires that agencies eliminate two regulations for every one they propose. The Environmental Protection Agency is, of course, one of those agencies.
Also among the flurry of executive orders newly inked by Trump is the "Presidential Memorandum Streamlining Permitting and Reducing Regulatory Burdens for Domestic Manufacturing," which "directs executive departments and agencies … to support the expansion of manufacturing in the United States through expedited reviews of and approvals for proposals to construct or expand manufacturing facilities and through reductions in regulatory burdens affecting domestic manufacturing." This order is welcome news to manufacturers, especially those that already believed economic conditions under the Trump administration would be favourable to support their new facility or facility expansion plans. Furthermore, this order does not cover the corporate tax reform that is expected in 2017.
In short, there has been no shortage of dramatic change already in the new year. Interestingly, executives at M&D companies sensed months ago that 2017 would likely be another year of economic uncertainty for their industry – though they may not have known the exact kind or level of uncertainty it would bring.
When Protiviti and North Carolina State University's ERM Initiative embarked on their research for the latest Executive Perspectives on Top Risks Survey, the Brexit vote had not yet taken place, and the major parties in the U.S. presidential election had not yet nominated their candidates. Nevertheless, executives cited the following as the number one and number two top risks for their industry:
Economic conditions in markets we currently serve may significantly restrict growth opportunities for our organisation, and
Anticipated volatility in global financial markets and currencies may create significantly challenging issues for our organisation to address.
Both of these macroeconomic risks held the same top positions in the previous year's survey. This, in my opinion, reflects the ongoing challenges that M&D companies face in a global economy. These challenges are driven not only by political uncertainty and trade agreement considerations, but also by supply chain and sourcing vulnerabilities and currency devaluations.
All this underscores why "Stay Nimble" should continue to be the mantra for M&D companies this year. The rapid-fire changes we have seen so far should not lead to paralysis and/or stagnation. The old adage, "When one door closes, another one opens" has never been more true. The events that have unfolded in the first few weeks of 2017 suggest that businesses in this industry group should be prepared to adapt and innovate swiftly to take advantage of the doors that open.

Chinese firms barred from distribution operator sale
Mediterranean Gas & Energy Week, key regional summit, starts tomorrow
DEDDIE sale preliminary deadline near, China's SGCC out of contention
Lenders consider minister's demand for state control of gas networks
Government officials are cautiously optimistic over the prospects of an alternative DEPA gas utility privatization model following initial fourth-review bailout talks yesterday between the energy minister Giorgos Stathakis, the proposal's architect, and the country's lenders.
Local officials believe a crucial first step has been taken as the alternative plan is still on the negotiating table.
The ministry is pushing for the adoption of a privatization model that would enable the Greek State to maintain control of the country's natural gas networks owned by DEPA.
The Greek State's control of networks stands to be increased once DEPA finalizes a takeover agreement with Shell for the latter's 49 percent stake in their EPA Attiki gas supply and EDA Attiki gas distribution companies covering the wider Athens area. DEPA currently holds 51 percent shares in these ventures.
The government is expected to privatize 65 percent of the gas utility. The alternative DEPA privatization proposal has prompted some reservations among the lenders as a result of its degree of complexity.
The minister appears willing to also pursue other solutions, such as one entailing the establishment of two subsidiaries, one representing DEPA's networks and the other the firm's commercial division, as long as the Greek State is ensured control of the networks.
The lender representatives, it became evident during yesterday's meeting, are primarily concerned if the budgeted DEPA privatization amount can be achieved through alternative sale models and whether these can be implemented in the limited time available. The government firmly believes its alternatives can be successfully applied on time.
Intensive negotiations with the lenders will continue until a solution is found by Saturday, Stathakis told reporters following yesterday's opening session.
The Greek State's continued control of network infrastructure and other nationally strategic assets stands as a core principle of the Syriza-led coalition's policies. This was highlighted in the details of the recent sale of a 24 percent stake of the power grid operator IPTO to China's SGCC. Also, the Greek State has secured a dominant role in the hydrocarbon exploration and utilization domains concerning ELPE (Hellenic Petroleum). A 50.1 percent stake of the petroleum company is being offered to investors.

interview | desta french
If you grew up on '90s and '00s R&B, Desta French will certainly strike a chord. With old-school head-nod beats and a knack for distilling emotion into clever lyrics, the singer conjures the golden era of R&B, but with a little something extra. "I bring myself. My own sauce." The UK music scene has a history of importing and reinventing genres, whether in the form of afrobeats or grime, and Desta French's R&B is no exception. A half-Colombian, half-Italian, North London kid growing up on a mix of Janet Jackson, Toni Braxton, TLC, salsa and bullerengue, she takes to R&B with nostalgia and a vibrant latin twist.
In many ways, her unique style and sound could not have come about anywhere else than London. "I don't feel too much of a connection with English culture, I'm pretty ignorant to it," French explains. "But I'm very much a Londoner. I love the clashes of culture you find everywhere, you're constantly being enriched by sounds and visuals, around every corner." The singer reveals her mixed heritage allowed her to oscillate between the eclectic identities that thrive in London. "I'm fairly articulate, I went to uni, my skin is white, I was raised in central London. But I'm working class, I grew up in the ends, my parents first languages are Spanish and Italian and they were dealing with their own cultural differences behind closed doors." This ability to blend in helped her navigate the colourful and complex city and write a new chapter in London's unique soundscape.
In the midst of these identities and influences, French confesses she came to music almost by accident. "I was uncomfortable most of the time as a kid. School discos were a big deal for me and one of the only times I felt truly happy. I was always making music, singing and tapping. I vividly remember making songs up all the time I just didn't appreciate it as a skill yet." A lot has changed since then. Experimenting with music as a child came full circle when she released her debut song Take You For Dead three years ago. It garnered attention and she's been making waves ever since.
This past month, she released her Immigracious EP. At only 15 minutes long, packing personality and skilful storytelling, the EP captures the complex self of its artist. "[The title] is a pat on the back to anyone like me or anyone who wasn't born in the place where they currently reside, making a life, wherever that may be, with grace. It's a powerful way to live," she says. "I mean, London is full of kids with such unique identities because they're second-generation immigrants from somewhere or another. I'm a voice of many who just don't fit into a box really. But that's a good thing for me now because I explore it in my art every day."
French hadn't planned on creating this EP, but she found herself writing a lot when struck with the greatest inspiration of all: heartbreak. Many of the songs on Immigracious encompass the time during her break up. "[Heartbreak] is you at your truest, everyone can relate to being vulnerable and in pain," she reveals. "Everyone can relate to love." Her track Remedy captures the uncertain moments between wanting to try again and walking away. In the video she co-directed, French shows off her acting chops, escaping to a foreign country and furiously breaking down. With her smudged mascara and angry fits, French reminds us that love is messy.
We ask her what makes a great love story in her view. "A love story that creates cracks in your heart from which trees can grow. Love stories that are infinite. The love story with yourself is the most important one at the end of the day I guess, innit." It's this sincerity in everything from her lyricism to her performance that captivates in every track. 15 minutes just isn't enough, when can we expect more music, Miss French? She assures us it won't be too long; she's dropping a duet this November with her "favourite artist ever" and promises she'll have another EP out next year.
Desta French's 'Immigracious' is out now. She will be performing at London's Rich Mix on November 8. Get your tickets here.

Cardiac effects of hyperprolactinemiatherapy withdopamine agonists
Ю. В. Давыдова, А. Ю. Лиманская, Т. В. Волошина, Л. Е. Костромина
A number of publications of the 1990s found an association between the development of disease of the heart valves and the use of dopamine agonists in patients receiving treatment for Parkinson's disease. Therefore, it became necessary to investigate the possible risks of valve disease in patients with hyperprolactinemia receiving treatment with dopamine agonists, in order to improve the recommendations.

Enlighted's "mixed messages" bra was included in this collection of electronics-based projects that address social issues in a subversive way. The booklet was produced in early 2017 by Vancouver-based artist Garnet Hertz, and more information about the project is available on the Disobedient Electronics website.
As a twisted social experiment, I wore this to a variety of events, with mixed results. Some people became embarrassed when the message rolled back around to the "DO NOT" part. Some people were surprised to learn that female engineers do exist, and that I had intentionally made this for myself.
Update: Disobedient Electronics is now available in PDF format.


Tai Chi is connected to the Taoist philosophy and the concepts presented in the Chinese book of wisdom, the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching. These texts are an integral part of classical Tai Chi. In classical Taoist philosophy, Tao is the absolute principle underlying the universe, combining within itself the principles of yin and yang. Tao is the source of the cosmos and is a gateway to all of life's mysteries.

The event is about overcoming shame. Shame is crippling and something victims of narcissistic abuse regularly deal with.
It starts Nov 2, short notice, I know but it will be well worth the investment of time and money.
I love David's , "Say it like it is" approach and I just know so many people here could benefit from this course; what a wonderful Christmas gift to yourself or to start the new year not hobbled by shame!

Q: How to pass array to thread in java? i want to pass array to thread and display in it.but i do not know how i can pass array to thread?
i tried same like passing array to function but it does not work.
i have two thread , and in both thread i will print the array . here is my thread 1
public class Thread1 extends Thread {

    public void run()
        {
            //here i will print

        }

    }

how i can pass thread and how it will use in main? like thread.start(array?);
please help.

A: Use a constructor and an instance field:
public class Thread1 extends Thread {

    private int[] array;

    public Thread1(int[] array)
    {
        this.array=array;
    }

    public void run()
    {
        // use array here.

    }

}

And to call it:
Thread1 th=new Thread1(array);
th.start();

A: class Thread1 extends Thread{
    int[] array;
  Thread1(int[] myarray){

    this.array = myarray;

  }

}

Like this pass to construcctor

A: You have to create a blocking queue that the thread will check periodically. A blocking queue allow you to modify the array during thread execution. It always a good practice when working with threaded applications is to use an datatype that only permit one thread access at a time.
private LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer[]> arrayQueue = new LinkedBlockingQueue<Integer[]>();
...
public class Thread1 extends Thread {

    public void run()
        {
            int[] arrayPoll = arrayQueue.poll();
        }

    }

So I bought a SRAM force crankset with a GXP spindle (24-22mm). I have a bike frame with a 86mm shell and a FSA BB86 press fit that was previously installed. The spindle fits through the BB but is loose on the nd side.
My question is do I need a new BB that fits the GXP spindle specifically? I am aware that the spindle actually tapers meaning that it will not fit a 24mm ID bearing but I'm wandering if I could buy something i.e. a shim to make my current BB work.
Also does anyone know which of these might be the better purchase?
It seems either would work but I'm not sure which would be better.
BTW: I have done plenty of research about bottom brackets, and have learned a lot despite how confusing this subject is. I am wanting to know if someone can confirm that I have everything straight before I end up buying something that I don't need. Sorry for the post note, I just want to avoid the proverbial "have you tried google", "do a forum search", and "read the product description". So far I have found this forum exceptionally helpful and appreciate the great threads I have read on this site!
You need a new bottom bracket. The two you linked to are the same, just that one is for MTB and one is for road. Just make sure you get the 86mm BB for road.
EDIT: You might be able to get just a 22mm ID NDS bearing and corresponding bearing seal for GXP (check Wheels Manufacturing or others), but that seems like a bodge job and for the cost and effort you might as well get a full SRAM GXP BB.

Wow, that seems pretty obvious. I'm not sure how I managed to miss that but I'm grateful you pointed that out.
Im im nervous about using shims on a BB considering the forces it already takes and $30 seems like a small price to avoid the frustration.
thank you both for your help!
Haha...I went through the same issue with an MRP spindle. Rather than taper, it steps down to 22mm. The non-drive bearing does have a shim installed. Anyway, I figured I could replace the bearings only, and save a few bucks. Wrong. The bearings on the MRP are 1mm thicker than any other BB replacement bearings on the market. I thought about purchasing replacements through Enduro and making a couple 1mm shims to take up the slack, and still may go that route. However, I'm more likely to buy the SRAM since it will work, and hopefully it uses a standard thickness so I can replace them later if the need arises.
I would happily provide you with the shim at no cost. It's for a 68/73 mountain BB, but I don't think that makes much of a difference as far as the shim goes. I'd be interested to see if it works!
How do I know when to relubricate the chain?

Plenty Of Picks
By Tom Haudricourt
MILWAUKEE—You have to excuse Jack Zduriencik if he feels a bit like a kid in a candy store.
During his previous eight years as the Milwaukee Brewers' scouting director, Zduriencik never has had an extra pick in the draft. Not one.
In fact, because of free agent signings, the Brewers forfeited a couple of second-round picks over that period.
That's what makes the 2008 draft so unusual and exciting for Zduriencik and the Brewers. Because Type A free-agent relievers Francisco Cordero (Reds) and Scott Linebrink (White Sox) signed with other clubs last winter, the Brewers picked up four extra picks before the end of the second round.
Beyond their own picks at No. 16 and No. 62 in the first two rounds, the Brewers have supplemental picks at No. 32 (Cordero) and No. 35 (Linebrink) after the first round, and selections No. 53 (Cordero) and No. 54 (Linebrink) in the second.
Six picks in the first 62! How have Zduriencik and his staff handled that rare bonanza?
"We're trying to get as many looks as we can at every player," said Zduriencik. "Everyone's conscious that we have extra picks. We've worked really hard but we've always done that.
"It's created a nice morale situation for the guys. They know we have a shot at some players we might not have had shots at in the past."
Last year, the Brewers took Florida's Matt LaPorta with the seventh overall pick, then didn't select again until No. 102 because they had forfeited their second-round pick by signing free-agent pitcher Jeff Suppan the previous winter.
Despite having no extra picks prior to 2008, Zduriencik and his staff have been largely responsible for turning the Brewers into a contending team. First-round picks Prince Fielder (2002), Rickie Weeks (2003) and Ryan Braun (2005), and second-round picks J.J. Hardy (2001) and Yovani Gallardo (2004) were the primary building blocks around which the club was built.
Milwaukee Brewers 2020-21 International Signing Preview
Previewing a 2020 international signing class for the Brewers that again looks to lean heavily on hitters from Venezuela.
Over the years, Zduriencik has steadfastly stuck to his philosophy of drafting the best player remaining on his board. Now that he has some extra picks, he doesn't plan on changing what has worked for him.
"Everybody has needs," said Zduriencik, who never tips his hand as to which player or players he covets. "I do think you've got to be careful and remember this isn't the NFL or the NBA, where players go right to the top.
"You do have to look long-term and do what's best for the organization. We'll look at everything. You still have to take the best players. It will serve us better than getting cute and going for need.
"The best need is talent. That's the way we look at it."
While all of the premium players will likely be off the board before the Brewers make their first pick, Zduriencik believes there is enough depth to make some noise with the extra selections.
"Sometimes, a third-round pick ends up better than a first-round pick, so you have to do your due diligence," he said. "If we do our job, maybe we can add some depth to our system. We've advanced a lot of guys to the major leagues.
"The bottom line is talent. Nothing changes."
