The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) was established on March 15, 2006 by the UN General Assembly. When establishing the Human Rights Council, the General Assembly mandated that the Council undertake a review of each UN member state's fulfillment of its human rights obligations and commitments in a manner that ensures universality of coverage and equal treatment in all states. To this end, the UPR considers all of a state's international obligations, including those stemming from the UN Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, international humanitarian law, obligations, and voluntary pledges and commitments.
Since its initial establishment, the UPR process has been refined by subsequent decisions by the Human Rights Council. Under current procedures, each country undergoes the UPR every four-and-a-half years at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. The UPR Working Group (the Working Group), which consists of the 47 member states of the Human Rights Council, oversees the review. For each individual UPR, three countries, known as the "troika," are selected by the drawing of lots among Human Rights Council members to assist the Working Group and to coordinate the writing of the outcome report.
Three documents form the basis of the UPR: a national report submitted by the state under review, a compilation of UN information by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), and a summary, also prepared by the OHCHR, of reports submitted by non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders. To further promote civil society participation, each government under review is encouraged to broadly consult with domestic civil society when preparing its national report.
The core component of the UPR is an interactive dialogue between the state under review and all UN member states that wish to participate by posing questions, giving comments, or making recommendations. The interactive dialogue lasts for three-and-a-half hours, after which the Working Group drafts an outcome report summarizing the discussion. Following the dialogue, but prior to the formal adoption of the outcome report, the state under review must indicate whether it accepts, rejects, is already implementing, or needs to further consider each recommendation advanced by member states. Next, at a Human Rights Council session, the outcome report is adopted as the formal record outlining the results of the review, including the member state's dispositions regarding the recommendations. The state's implementation of accepted recommendations will then be incorporated into the next cycle of UPR.
China, as a member state of the UN, has undergone the UPR twice, in February 2009 and October 2013. The new procedures adopted for the second cycle of UPRs, which began in 2012, permit broader engagement of the international community, but also can result in very short time allocations for statements by member states during the interactive dialogue. This can be seen in China's second UPR, in 2013, when the number of recommendations advanced by member states increased to 252 (from 99 in 2009), but each state was assigned just 50 seconds to deliver its statement.
In recent years, Chinese citizens are taking an increasingly active role in the UPR process, by pressing for greater transparency, accountability, and citizen participation in China's international human rights reporting, including in the drafting of its UPR national report.
2018 Universal Periodic Review of China
On November 6, 2018, China underwent its third Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the Human Rights Council in Geneva.
On October 22, 2013, China underwent its second Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. During the review, 137 member states of the UN engaged in an interactive dialogue with the Chinese delegation. The review examined China's implementation of the recommendations it had accepted following its first UPR in 2009, as well as new developments or outstanding issues in the fulfillment of its human rights obligations and commitments.
On February 9, 2009, China underwent its first Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. During the review, 60 member states of the UN engaged in an interactive dialogue with the Chinese delegation about the implementation of its international human rights obligations.

Bruce Nauman is my imaginary doppelganger. We speak in the same tongue. It's uncanny to me.
And how do you do?
because all the edges are sealed.
Not even sound can escape.
In a dream, I was playing the piano, using this image as written music. The picture was seated on a music stand on my left. I could easily play the shape of the mountains as long as I viewed the image in peripheral vision, but as soon as I turned my head to look at it directly, I lost my power and it turned back into a picture. Is it possible that in order for synesthesia to take place, one must not be overly focused? And if so, isn't it ironic that one must be in a partial state of unawareness in order to be the most aware?
This image perfectly represents what a layered thought looks like to me. When I see a word, or a symbol, or an icon, or a number, I see an additional version or layer of meaning behind it, and I mean that quite literally. I see a second or third version of the visible, though I "know" what I am looking at isn't "see-able" to other people. (At least, I know that as an adult.) In this image, the dark shape in front represents the visible while the white shape behind is equivalent to the version I view automatically on the otherside of consciousness. Even as I look at the additional layer, I understand that it is generated from the object in front of it. That's the reason the edges are indistinct and the shape is amorphous, much like the nature of meaning itself.
I was once sent to a researcher in light therapy because I had a sudden depression no one could explain. My doctor was trying to determine if light therapy would help. He attached a computer to my wrist which I wore for 3 days and 3 nights. It measured my Circadian rhythms. After reviewing the results, he concluded that light would do me no good.
"The problem," he explained, "is that you have the Circadian clock of a cavewoman."
Not knowing if this was good or bad, I naturally asked him to explain. He told me that I have a 26.5 hour day and that aside from that, I am impervious to my environment. So, tonight I had a revelation: if synesthesia stems from the oldest part of the brain, doesn't it make sense that it would show up in the mind of a cavewoman? Further, if it is also true that in evolutionary terms, synesthetes represent the future, doesn't that make sense too, since time is circular?
He was wrong about light, by the way. As it turned out, I used reflected light to cure my depression. I discovered that by looking at reflections, I could travel out of my feelings. Of course, I didn't realize that I wasn't actually going anywhere. Nor could I see that my emotional life was the underside of a Mobius Strip I'd managed to flip over, by viewing the world upside down. From that angle, I could spot the necessary shapes into which I poured my inchoate feelings. And by the time I developed the pictures, the emotional shapes had gelled.
To me, a Bucky Ball is the perfect self-portrait and ideal symbol for the self. When I look at this picture, I feel like I am looking in a mirror. This is why: I see the orb in the center as my "self" while each polygon is a double-sided portal that allows information to travel back and forth between myself and the world. The polygons are like sensors (as well as censors), some of which are open, some of which are shut, some of which are sealed. I further picture the whole thing orbiting not in space but in time. As each has its turn in n-o-w, it may be open, shut or sealed. Thus, they act as transoms that let information in and out of consciousness. How many are open? It varies from person to person. But the number -- if indeed they are amenable to counting -- is vastly higher than the usual 5 attributed to the senses in western culture. Furthermore, I suspect that they operate in realms that have nothing to do with sense but everything to do with sensibility.
When I was growing up, my nickname was "The Memory Bank" because I remember not only everything that has happened in my own life but also everything that has happened in the lives of my friends -- even if I was not present but only heard about it. Debby, my best friend from childhood, will call to ask me for a specific detail of an event from her life that happened 40 years ago. She knows that if she told me about it at the time, I will be able to repeat it to her exactly as she said it then.
Why can I do this and what does it mean?
It's hard to explain how normal this feels to me. I have never thought of this ability as a sign of intelligence since no effort goes into remembering whatsoever. It is just there, as if my memory is a tar pit that preserves whatever falls into it. Once I know it, I cannot not know it: if I own the memory once, I own it for all time. I sometimes think the birth of the self begins with the first memory since it is the first possession.
The way I learned to ride a bike is that I dreamed it first. This was after several months of training wheels followed by a few failed attempts of going up-and-down the drive on my blue girl's Schwinn, my father's hand resting on the back of my seat to balance me so I would not fall.
"Not yet, not yet!" is the only thing I remember saying, which meant, "Whatever you do, Dad, please don't let go, I'm not ready yet." What was balance anyway, I wondered, how could I possibly learn to suspend myself on moving wheels? I despaired I would ever be able to ride a two-wheeled vehicle when that night, I dreamed I could.
It is one of those dreams that I remember still in detail. The image that floats to mind first when I think of it is a wet portrait of me in-motion painted in pastels: but the key is in what I am feeling in the dream, the sensation of balancing as I ride my bike in the dream.
It was so strong a feeling -- so convincing a "fact" -- that when I woke up the next day, I ran downstairs, jumped on my "real" bike, and rode all over town. I never experienced fear or hesitation again because I had already succeeded in my dream and remembered how it felt.
I took the picture above in Amsterdam a few years ago. Then, the other night while surfing the internet, I unexpectedly came upon the image below. I found their resemblance uncanny. Yet, the picture below is the plotting of electric fields of positive and negative particles; the image above is a reflection of a bridge on a Dutch canal. What does this mean? Is it evidence that universal shapes recur in Nature and Art? I can only tell you this: that at the moment I saw the picture below, I felt the gestalt of recognition from having seen the same shapes on the water.
When I look at a picture of a brain -- before I have time to "think" or recognize what I'm actually looking at -- I see a person in a fetal position. Only secondarily, do I realize that it is also a picture of a brain. So I have a question: is this recurring shape an accident of Nature or is it the ultimate example of good design? I love when Nature puts forth its own symbols. I don't believe in accidents.
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically. In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.

Broken government: where next?
Millie Kidson asks on her blog where we will go when the coallition government ends. (Suggested reading before you continue here.)
This question has been perplexing me too. I was a member of the Liberal Democrat party for a few years and I had intended not only to get involved in the local party, but also potentially to stand for election at some later date. That isn't going to happen with the LibDems now. The LibDems were never really a good fit for me anyway, my membership was a compromise since I fit in to that lower left square on the Political Compass that no party except the Greens seem anywhere near.
I dislike the party whip system where legislation is decided strictly on party lines. I dislike having one party in a majority that can force through stupid law after stupid law. What I would like is a parliament where new legislation has to convince a majority of MPs, not a party leader. Basically, I want a hung parliament. Forever. A lot less legislation would make it through but what little did emerge ought to be good because it has won the support of a majority of MPs. Many will argue that this would cripple the government but I don't think so. I think it would force MPs to come up with decent laws instead of knee jerk reactions.
The ideal situation as far as I am concerned is for Proportional Representation to be brought in and for government to be composed of a variety of different party and independant MPs to produce the situation that I described above. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen. What we are being offered is AV which is a poor relation to PR, although better than First Past the Post which is what we have at the moment. With AV the makeup of parliament will change slightly, but not that much. I think if the coallition were to fail and an election be held now or even after AV, it would be a straight fight between Labour and the Conservatives. The LibDems have squandered their support and won't be back for a long time. I couldn't in a million years bring myself to vote Conservative, so I guess we're left with Labour or Green.
I think I would quite like to support the Green party, their policies on social responsibility and on spending are quite in line with mine. (See the Political Compass again to see where you stand.) but just like the LibDems in the past, they lack the critical amount of support to give even a possibility of getting into power, and so people stay away from them. The traditional "wasted vote."
So where can those that want caring social policies, help for those that need it, support from the rich and the big business, go? I predict that the bulk of the anti-cuts movement will never vote Conservative, will never forgive the LibDems, and most will not think that the Greens have a chance, so they won't have. Most are likely to vote for Labour or not vote at all. I think that's a shame. We need to fight for full Proportional Representation, and then we need a complete mix up of views in power to provide us with a balanced and rational government.

I agree with most of that.
It's obvious that people would desert the LibDems, but I think it's an unthinking decision. The problem is that the LibDems have 15% of the votes in the coalition, so couldn't keep all their promises. The solution people have chosen: give the LibDems even less power.
Interesting that so many people are flocking back to Labour. They had complete control for 13 years and broke Britain. 8 months later people are begging for their return.
I think people who believe the country would be better now with a crippled minority Tory government or a Labour government are deluding themselves. Look at Greece in 2010 or the UK in 1978.
What we're heading for now with people fleeing to the Left and Right is even more scary. That's US-style politics, so I for one hope the coalition holds. Because I fear only PR can pull people back to the centre ground, and no one is going to give it to us – so the coalition is the most sane, centrist option you have.
Latentexistence says:
There seems to be two issues at work here.
The first is that supporters are easily offended, but not easily won. Once a party is seen to betray its supporters, that's it for them.
The second issue is that of the classic two party system. People would like to support a smaller party that is closer to their opinions, but dare not because they prefer one of the two main parties over the other. In the current situation, I suspect a huge portion of the anti-cuts protesters are closer to the Green party than anything else, but will never support them because they don't want to allow a Conservative government.
I 100% agree with this particularly: "I dislike having one party in a majority that can force through stupid law after stupid law". An example from the last government of legislation which should never have been passed is ID cards.
I think the problem with the current system is that it polarises the ideas, so if you're (for example) Tory you can never agree with Labour policies, even if they might actually work. I honestly think it would be better for the country if there were no such thing as political parties, so that each idea would succeed or fail on its own merit, rather than a political party trying to push its own ideas through.
Whether that would work practically I don't know, but it seems we couldn't do much worse than our current system.
Sunny H says:
A few thoughts here.
First, the Libdems will rebound somewhat closer to the election. I'd say to about 15%. Higher if Tory plans pay off and they're able to offer them some last minute sweeteners. So don't count them out as yet.
Second, the Greens may be a 'wasted vote' – but many ppl thought so were the Libdems. They might get to a stage where they're not 'wasted' one day, as in Germany.
Third, agree on PR somewhat. Most people don't want to break the constituency link – so you're essentially looking at STV or AV+ as an end goal.
I don't agree with: "I think [PR] would force MPs to come up with decent laws instead of knee jerk reactions."
Doubt it – a lot of stupid decisions still command mass public support, for example the ban on drugs…. and in 2003 a majority of MPs voted for the Iraq war – only Libdems didn't. Think you're making a big presumption here.
I also wrote about the need for discipline in parties here:

In theory the party whip sounds like a terrible idea, but it also has benefits.

Button on Hamilton: "I scored more points – We were never friends"
October 16, 2017 · by thejudge13	· in Daily F1 News and Comment.	·
But admits that "he's built on all that talent and hard work and he's a more rounded character as a result." adding "He's matured, become a bit of a statesman and a great representative of the sport."
Button, whilst promoting his new autobiography, has revealed his experiences with previous team mate Lewis Hamilton to The Sunday Times Magazine.
Interestingly he makes his case for 'beating' Lewis during their 3 year period together at McLaren from 2010 to 2012. Indeed TJ13's controversial analysis of their time together does corroborate Jenson's opinion.
"I scored more points and it's all about scoring points, Formula 1. You look at Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, you'd say Ayrton was the quicker driver but Alain was 'The Professor'," Button says.
"He knew how to get to the end of the season with the most points. He never wanted a crash – he knew that would lose him the most amount of points – whereas Ayrton was the driver that was extremely fast but he would push it too far. As Alain said, Senna would ridicule him, but in doing so he put himself on the edge and he crashed. So, yes, in Formula 1 it's not just about outright speed; it's about getting from A to B as fast as possible, not just one lap."
The 2009 champion reveals how he upset the apple cart by moving from Brawn GP (who became Mercedes AMG F1) over to 'Lewis' team' McLaren saying "I don't think that I was to his taste, if I'm honest.".
"Personally, he was fine with me, no issues at all at this stage of the game, but you could just tell he was a little bit peeved.
"That thing about it being his team? It was right on the money. And, if you ask me, he was finding it difficult to get a handle on the fact that it was our team now."
McLaren liked to portray us as bantering rivals," Button says. "The rivalry was real… but there wasn't a great deal of banter."
"As people, we had a lot in common. There was our shared karting history, not to mention the fact that his dad was a customer of my dad. And, unlike a lot of drivers in Formula 1, neither of us came from an especially wealthy background; we'd achieved what we had through talent and a lot of grafting.
"When we spent time together it was nice, and he'd always strike up a conversation with dad, and we'd hang out a bit. But at the same time there were an awful lot of awkward and uncomfortable silences, and often I'd think: 'What's going unsaid here?'"
Button stood down as a full-time race driver for McLaren at the end of last season and, despite holding a contract to return next year, has reiterated he will not drive again in the sport.
"I've still got an option to race next year, but I've done my time in Formula 1,"

Jenson "I've got no rear grip" Button was at best a slightly better than average driver, who got lucky one year and was adored by sponsors. He had one win in his first 9 seasons…………..

So adored by sponsors that Honda painted their car with earth.
Didn't McLaren have substantial sponsorship when Button joined yet lost it all post Hamilton?
The only people who claim he was loved by sponsors is the pathetic British media – lest we forget, British TV coverage which is fronted by Red Bull employed ex drivers. No conflict there then!!

ok, so three times wdc, all time pole position record, more gp wins than any other british driver and second in the standings only behind michael schumacher vs lucked into a wdc and hasn't won a race since 2012. tough choice on who's the netter driver. But hey, over a three year period, he beat lewis on points at mclaren (but only in one season).
And one driver who has had a car capable of winning the WC every year he raced and blown at least 2 WC's. Which one would that be?

………….like Hamilton "lucked in" joining Mercchumps with their 3 year headstart on hybrid power units!!! The car is the star here……not the driver!!! If you swap Vettel with Hamilton the result would be the same…..Vettel would be leading the championship in the Mercedes! #:)
hamilton didn't luck into joining mercedes, mercedes approached him because they were looking for a top driver as a critical ingredient for success. Hamilton then took a risk and it paid off (remember, there is another highly rated driver on the grid who was approached by future championship teams repeatedly, but ruined his career by trying to play it safe) If the car was the star, why didn't Mercedes make rosberg their no. 1 and hired a cheap no. 2?

Points: 672-657 to Button
In 2012 Lewis dnf'ed from P1 position from: Singapore GP, Abu Dhabi and the Brazilian GP. That 75 points gone.
Sorry Butt but you are nothing compared to Lewis.

Messi snubs PSG to display Ballon d'Or at Barcelona four months after leaving
Despite winning the award in his new hometown of Paris, Lionel Messi will reportedly snub Paris Saint Germain and display his seventh Ballon d'Or at Barcelona instead
Lionel Messi wins record seventh Ballon d'Or: Darren Wells reports
Lionel Messi claimed his seventh Ballon d'Or crown on Monday as he was again presented with the ultimate individual accolade in football, in his new hometown of Paris.
Messi's incredible season at Barcelona helped him win the award, not to mention his run in the Copa America that finally saw him achieve international success with Argentina over the summer.
Things are now going well for the 34-year-old at Paris Saint Germain too, as after a slow start Messi finally has his first Ligue 1 goal, and he claimed a hat-trick of assists against St Ettiene the day before winning the Ballon d'Or.
However, Messi's heart is still very much in Barcelona, as the Argentinian has opted to display his award back in Catalonia.
Who deserved to win the Ballon d'Or this year? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Lionel Messi won his seventh Ballon d'Or on Monday night
Spanish radio station SER has claimed, via The Daily Mail, that Messi is going to have his latest Ballon d'Or on show in the Barcelona museum, as opposed to in the French capital where he now plays.
However, it is in Barcelona where his other six, yes six, are kept, meaning that all of the awards will be together in one historic collection.
Cristiano Ronaldo comments on Instagram post criticising Lionel Messi and Ballon d'Or award
Mohamed Salah's Ballon d'Or absence explained as he discusses Chelsea departure
Although a slight snub from a PSG perspective, the award was won from his season at Barcelona, and not for the stop-start one that Messi has endured in France so far.
If Messi was to earn another crown while at PSG then the situation may be received slightly differently, seeing as the club have never housed a winner of the award from a direct season in France, and Jean-Pierre Papin was the last winner from the French League back in 1991.
Lionel Messi has started to find his form at Paris Saint Germain
Although there was extreme delight on Messi's behalf, there was some angst surrounding the award due to Robert Lewandowski missing out despite a record-breaking season in Germany.
Lewandowski was nailed on to win the award last year but the ceremony was scrapped due to COVID, and the Polish international was also amongst the favourites this year, but narrowly missed out to Messi.
However, Messi took the time to commend Lewandowski during his acceptance speech in what was a classy gesture, and said: "Robert, you deserve your Ballon d'Or. 'Last year, everyone was in agreement to say that you were the big winner of this award.

"Hopefully France Football will give you the 2020 Ballon d'Or. We all believe you deserved it and I hope you can have it at home."
Lewandowski also spoke out following Messi's victory and congratulated the Argentinian, before adding: "Congratulations also to all nominated players! I won Striker of the Year Award and no Player can win an individual award without strongest team and loyal fans behind him. Thank you for your support."
With 2022 nearly upon us, it's time to look forward and see who the next winner may be, and with Messi and Ronaldo ageing it could be time for a new winner, and the competition is expected to be higher than ever.

During the first months of the year WMAR have several meetings with the communication team of the National University Tres de Febrero, after those meetings Wikimedia Argentina made a introductory workshop with the staff of the university to resolve which articles we were going to work on in the edit-a-thon.
On July 16th the staff and volunteers of Wikimedia Argentina made an edit-a-thon in the Hotel de Inmigrantes. The event started with a guide tour for the building and a workshop of how we edit an article, after that we reunited in a few groups and started to work on the history of immigration in Argentina.

Hybrid clouds give organisations the ability to get the best of both worlds: on-premises for traditional apps and resources they want to keep close at hand, and in the public cloud to realise the speed, agility, and efficiency of cloud-native applications. The challenge is to maintain the optimal balance between public and private clouds to achieve your business objectives. Doing so requires a 360-degree view of the full application lifecycle.
Companies need to evaluate multi-cloud management platforms and orchestration tools which can take the mystery out of hybrid IT by giving an up-to-date view of resource utilisation without slowing down DevOps activities. According to a recent survey of CIOs and IT managers, 37 percent of respondents identified unpredictable costs as their greatest cloud concern, topped only by security.
Gaining visibility into application health is one of the top four challenges of multi-cloud management, topped only by security and performance concerns.
The benefits of visibility into all your workloads — in the cloud and on-premises — is demonstrated by an accounting application, which has peaks and valleys of activity in standard business cycles.
One of the greatest impacts of enhanced visibility into application performance and health is the ability of CIOs to partner with the business units that rely on the apps. Knowing how cloud and non-cloud resources are being used in the organisation allows CIOs to recommend specific platforms and services, keep tabs on the inevitable shadow IT projects, and have a more thorough knowledge of what the business units need.
Bringing monitoring and logging into a consolidated view across clouds with an orchestration platform like Morpheus unlocks the ability to detect app stack outages, scale across platforms and clouds, and otherwise assure day-2 production application tasks are first class citizens within the deployment phase of the app lifecycle.
Too often, Biz Dev and Ops are three separate functions. However having full view of multi-cloud operations and the ability to provide services to both business stakeholders and developers on demand can elevate the IT Ops team to a position of business value rather than business frustration.
The continuous integration/continuous (CI/CD) delivery nature of DevOps is taking organisations by storm. DevOps teams think in terms of application portability and velocity, which means applications are built independently of where they will live [and] move across the continuum of on-prem, private and public clouds with complete transparency to end users.
There's only one way to achieve such a level of end-user transparency in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments: via a single unified interface that is shared by all of the teams that touch the app life cycle. The growing popularity of multi-cloud management platforms such as Morpheus is due in large part to the increasing demand for a single, comprehensive view of diverse public cloud and private cloud services.
It must go beyond a unified interface though. Organisations using configuration management tools as part of their orchestration flow can track configuration state changes in development and then enforce an identical state of dependencies through test and production. When coupled with self-service provisioning, organisations are able to quickly tear down and refresh the entire pipeline at any time because everything is stored and managed as code.
Unified multi-cloud management lets teams execute workflows and determine the best execution venue for workloads by identifying the optimal platform based on cost, reliability, and service portfolio. The single point of control the services provide means users have new levels of order and visibility into multi-cloud environments and governance.

Samuels, Fletcher Heading To Pakistan
LAHORE, Pakistan (CMC): West Indies batting star Marlon Samuels has been picked up by Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League replacement draft staged here recently.
The right-handed Samuels was joined by Windies limited-overs teammate AndrÈ Fletcher, who was also selected by the franchise for the February 9 to March 7 tournament carded for the United Arab Emirates.
However, the final will be staged in Lahore.
Samuels will replace injured Englishman Alex Hales, while Fletcher will come in for Pakistan's Mohammad Shahzad, who is unavailable.
Jamaican Samuels was in superb form in the Bangladesh Premier League last November and December when he finished among the leading runscorers with 334 runs at an average of 66
Zalmi is led by two-time Twenty20 World Cup-winning skipper Darren Sammy, and also includes Barbados-born England all-rounder Chris Jordan.
West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has been ruled out of the tournament after picking up an injury last month while playing for Melbourne Renegades in the Australia Big Bash.
He has been replaced by Englishman Jason Roy.
Windies T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite will also be unavailable for the tournament, with Australian Brad Hodge called up.
The likes of West Indies stars Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Samuel Badree have been confirmed for the tournament.


Why Do TAM Exhibitions Last For Six Weeks?
We'll be presenting one question and one answer each day during an eleven-day period. This is day three. Scroll down the blog to see past related posts.
Jeremy Rosenberg: What factors go into deciding the duration of this -- or any -- TAM exhibition? Why six weeks or so in this case?
Max Presneill: We look at how many shows we can do in a year, what shows we really want to do, the time it will take to deinstall one, prep the spaces back into a 'new' condition and then install the next show (we have a 3-week turnaround time which is very fast for a museum), making sure that the run of each is long enough so that anyone who wants to see it has time enough to get around to doing so. We do not keep them up as long as some museums because we feel that those who are interested have probably seen it by the end of a show and that our audience is by then looking forward to our next opening, or so I hope, J.

Federal Trademark Law Is About to Get F-U-C-T
By: Kyle Hutnick and David Posteraro
The US Supreme Court on Monday struck down a provision of the federal trademark statute that prohibited the registration of "immoral" or "scandalous" trademarks for violating the First Amendment. The case is Iancu v. Brunetti and the plaintiff wasted no time in issuing a press release.
In February, we alerted readers to a challenge to Section 2(a) of the Trademark Act. As we reported, clothing designer Erik Brunetti applied to register the trademark FUCT in connection with the Fuct brand of clothing. FUCT is (supposedly) pronounced as four letters, one after the other: F-U-C-T. Reviewing his application, the PTO examining attorney and PTO's Trademark Trial and Appeal board both determined that the FUCT mark was "a total vulgar[ity]" and therefore unregistrable. Although Brunetti was free to create and sell FUCT products, the lack of trademark protections left him without the power afforded a federally registered trademark to pursue potential infringers.
During the application process for the FUCT mark, the PTO examining attorney and, subsequently, the Trademark Trail and Appeal Board relied upon a section 15 U.S.C. § 1052(a) of the Trademark Act which prohibited registration of marks that are immoral or scandalous.. The mark, they decided, was "highly offensive" and "vulgar" and used in combination with extreme nihilism, antisocial behavior, misogyny, depravity, and violence, which was unquestionably "extremely offensive." Ouch. Brunetti challenged the law in federal court, arguing that the prohibition on immoral or scandalous material on its face violated the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit sided with Brunetti and invalidated that provision of the Act.
If there is one way to grab the Supreme Court's attention, it's by invaliding a federal statute.
Brunetti appealed to the US Supreme Court, which agreed to review the case. The Supreme Court agreed with the lower court and invalidated the "immoral or scandalous" exception. In doing so, the Court relied on its earlier decision in Matal v. Tam, where the Court declared that a similar prohibition — against registering disparaging marks — also ran afoul of the First Amendment. Under the Court's First Amendment precedent, the government can only discriminate against speech when it is viewpoint-neutral. When the government disapproves of those messages it finds offensive, that is viewpoint-based discrimination and violates the First Amendment.
When the Court was asked whether the "immoral or scandalous" bar was viewpoint-neutral or viewpoint-based, it answered unequivocally: "It is viewpoint-based."
The Court made its point clear by illustrating which trademark applications were denied for expressing scandalous views about drug use, religion and terrorism. In contrast, the USPTO approved applications that expressed more conventional viewpoints of the same topics. As proof of the government's practice of viewpoint discrimination, the court compared the following trademark applications, and whether the applications were approved or denied:
Based on the above, the Court determined that the government rejected trademark registrations that were "offensive to many Americans." "But," as the opinion noted, "the Court [had] made clear in Tam, [that] a law disfavoring 'ideas that offend' discriminates based on viewpoint, in violation of the First Amendment."
The Court's findings closely followed those submitted in a brief authored by New York University law professors Jeanne Fromer and Barton Beebe. The professors argued that the USPTO's trademark approval process is inconsistent and often arbitrary. In the Court's eyes, this pattern of disfavoring "ideas that offend" constitutes governmental sanctioned viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment.
Justice Alito, concurring with the majority opinion, noted that the decision was "not based on moral relativism but on the recognition that a law banning speech deemed by government officials to be 'immoral' or 'scandalous' can easily be exploited for illegitimate ends" and he signaled Congress that the decision did not prevent it from adopting a more carefully focused statute that precludes the registration of marks containing vulgar terms that play no real part in the expression of ideas.
Chief Justice Roberts, concurring in part, would distinguish between matter that was "scandalous" on the one hand and "immoral" on the other. The immoral portion of the law, he wrote, is not susceptible of a narrowing construction that would eliminate its viewpoint bias. However, the "scandalous" portion of the provision could, he concluded, be constitutionally supported.
In separate opinions, Justices Breyer and Sotomayor warned that the Court's decision would "beget unfortunate results." With the scandalous-marks provision struck down as unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination, the Trademark Office will, the Justices noted, have no statutory basis to refuse (and thus no choice but to begin) registering marks containing "the most vulgar, profane, or obscene words and images imaginable" and a "coming rush" to register such trademarks.
So, what's next?
The Court declared, in no uncertain terms, that the ban on immoral and scandalous trademarks is unconstitutional and violates fundamental principles of free speech. The decision in Brunetti opens the door for new applications of potentially offensive trademarks, as well as those applications that were denied under the now invalid statute. But can we expect to see a rush to the USPTO to register every profanity imaginable? Probably not, says Professor Beebe. He doesn't believe there is a significant demand to protect offensive marks.
Only time can tell whether there will be a rush to the USPTO to register scandalous marks. Regardless, we will be on the lookout for some jaw-dropping t-shirts in the future.

Kira Yarmysh: People Usually Avoid the Word "Dying"
hecksinductionhour politics, protest, putinism, society, solidarity, zeitgeist April 17, 2021 April 17, 2021 2 Minutes
Kira Yarmysh
When Alexei [Navalny] came to after the coma, and everything began to gradually improve, I thought that I would not soon have to endure minutes worse than I had in the plane from Tomsk as it was landing in Omsk. Things didn't happen like that. It was a law of life, or something. Such powerful emotional experiences didn't happen one after another.
But now eight months have passed, and I'm back on that plane, only this time it is landing very slowly.
People usually avoid the word "dying." Some avoid it out of superstition. I personally avoid it because loud words like that shouldn't be used lightly.
But Alexei is now dying. In his condition, it's a matter of days. The lawyers just can't get into [the prison] to see him at the weekend, yet no one knows what will happen on Monday.
We witnessed tremendous support in Omsk. Alexei himself later said many times in interviews that Putin had let him to be taken abroad for treatment because he realized it would do him no good to have Navalny die "live on the air."
Now he is dying in exactly the same way, in plain view of everyone, only this time more slowly, and access to Alexei is much more difficult. Apparently, that's why it seems to everyone that nothing terrible is happening. The hunger strike has lasted for eighteen days, Navalny has been gradually losing the feeling in his arms and legs, and some tests have been done. All this has been blurred in time, and people don't have the sense that they are again witnessing a murder.
In 2015, we were organizing a big spring protest rally and heavily promoting it. Alexei himself handed out leaflets in the subway, which landed him in jail for fifteen days. But then [Boris] Nemtsov was murdered. In the end, the rally did take place, and it was huge, only the occasion for the rally had changed altogether.
Now, too, a rally is being organized to demand Alexei's release, and it will be huge as well. But I don't want it to happen for any other reason.
Putin reacts only to mass street protests. Even the threat of them scares him. The Kremlin has also been looking at the counter of people [who have pledged to attend the protest] on the Free Navalny website and thinking, Aha, the pace has slowed down, there is no reason to be worried, we can keep going. Navalny is dying: let him die. We won't let a doctor see him. We won't allow him to be treated. We should push even harder: we'll declare his supporters extremists to keep them quiet.
This rally is no longer Navalny's chance for freedom. It is a condition of keeping him alive. And every new day could be the last.
Register now. We need to reach 500,000 people as soon as possible.

She eagerly spread her legs, he wrapped her arms around them, and began to almost roughly fuck her.
From each blow, her breasts jumped up and seductively sank into place.
He finished in a minute, having bathed her with a white stream of his sperm.
I brought a towel and wiped her breasts, back and lips.
We fell on the sofa and lay for a long time, caressing her.
Then, having recovered my breath, got dressed and went to the kitchen to continue our little feast.
She did not fasten her jacket to the end, and the whole evening we could admire her round breasts, looking out from under the edges.
At night, I woke up from the tender lips that clung to my stomach, and it all started from the beginning.
Petra was awakened by the call of the duty officer: "A company! Rise! Anxiety! Anxiety! Anxiety! "He had already got used to waking up five minutes before the hysterical cries of the on-duty service, but today he was awakened by this vociferous alarm clock.
Especially Peter did not like the addition to the standard phrase on duty about the rise in the form of "Alarm!" Usually such things were predicted in advance and were planned.
And that suddenly without warning and hike late at night.
Peter determined the time as 3 hours and was not mistaken.
Round hours on the "takeoff" showed 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Those who served in the Army, knows that even on the KMB all soldiers are tortured by training, including the actions on the signal "Alarm".
Dress up a uniform, "berets", run to the closet with personal protective equipment (helmet and armor ") and chemical protection (OZK and gas mask), then turn in a placer, where the same sleepy foreman will give you your duffle bag with an alarm set and then another turn in the CWC, get your machine gun and two horns to it (usually without cartridges).
Once, on the orders of the Division Commander, they were alerted and given out ammunition and even combat grenades.

The officers then every minute checked to see if any of the stupid ass-soldiers had screwed the fuse up to the grenade.
And then they gave out a dry ration.
Then it turned out that there were riots on a national basis in the capital and they wanted to send them to protect the city's transport hubs.
Thank God, then everything turned out, otherwise they would have done things with grenades in their pocket.
This time they also issued both cartridges and grenades, while the mechanics drivers received the keys to their BMP and fled to the park.
While the personnel were being built and armed, the commanders
Foot fetish sex cams.
ran up from the apartments, the equipment was leaving the park, Peter was still trying to determine what the cause of this alarm was.
Everyone he asked was without a clue what was happening.
Having nothing to do, Peter began to look at the environment, having fun and making fun of how sleepy people try to do everything quickly and correctly.
One of the BMP crashed into the collar of the KTP, a duty ensign leaped out of a brick booth and began to yell obscenities, promising to have a mechanic in a perverted form.
And Valerka, their driver and mechanic, sat at the levers, he only sat behind them three times, temporarily replacing Nikita, who had been transferred to the reserve.
Nikita was spent a week ago, but Peter still haunted the sensation of the holiday.
Oh, how did they then lit! Nikita promised to put ten liters of high-quality alcoholic drink.
Peter, whose "land" was the head of the warehouse, promised to fit dishes and pickles for a feast.
The chest of drawers Sergey, which is local, showed a desire to deliver to the "kindery" (where they were going to hold the event) a bit of beauty and tenderness, in the form of trouble-free beauties from his district.
The rest were engaged in the implementation of small events, such as the extraction of glasses, plates and bribing the CPT on-duty service for the free passage of beauties to the territory of the unit.
Everything was hundred percent.
And the vodka was ten liters and the food was abundant, and 12 people from friends of fellow soldiers and six, gorgeous, charming and beautiful girls gathered in the capter.
Peter did not remember all the names, but he remembered Marina, Lika and Irina.
Marina was impressed by the fact that she was very talkative and laughable.
She chirped incessantly, and said something and laughed loudly and infectiously at every joke.
Lika was remembered by the fact that she was wearing a very short skirt and was sitting in such a way that it cost Peter a lot of effort not to stare at her, almost completely naked legs and protruding red panties. Latest porn movies online free.

Q: Is highlighting a segment of px.scatter_mapbox plot possible? Using Dash graphs to create a placeholder for scatter line plot and scattermapbox.
html.Div([
   html.Div(id='graphs', children=[
      dcc.Graph({'type':'graph', 'index':1}, figure=blank_fig('plotly_dark')),
      dcc.Graph({'type':'graph', 'index':1}, figure=blank_fig('plotly_dark'))]
])

The figures are initialized via a callback as you can see below using Plotly Express:
fig1 = px.line(x=df.index.seconds, y=df.ft, labels={'x':'Elasped Time(seconds)', 'y':'feet'}, title="(feet)", template='plotly_dark')
fig2 = px.scatter_mapbox(df, lat='deg1', lon='deg2', zoom=zoom, height=800,
           text=['deltatime: {}'.format(i.total_seconds()) for i in df.index],
           title=selected_values['report_type'], center=dict(lat=center[0], lon=center[1]))
fig2.update_layout(
    mapbox_style="white-bg",
    mapbox_layers=[{
        "below": 'traces',
        "sourcetype": "raster",
        "sourceattribution": "Low-Res Satellite Imagery",
        "source": [f"{self.map_host}/tiles/{{z}}/{{x}}/{{y}}.png"]
    }]
)
fig2.update_traces(mode='markers', marker=dict(size=2, color='white'),
    hovertemplate='lat: %{lat}'+'
lon: %{lon}
'+'%{text}')

During zoom operation on figure 1 I get the selected range via a callback. With this selected range we have a list of points then to pass to the selectedpoints parameter of the update_traces() function.  The goal is to highlight those selected points in red but instead the whole line is painted red.
 # retrieved from the relayout input.  The xaxis is in seconds.
 start = int(unique_data['xaxis.range[0]'])
 end = int(unique_data['xaxis.range[1]'])
 # using the above values we can then subselect the dataframe
 fig = get_figure_with('mapbox') # retrieves the figure for fig2
 selected_df = df[(df.index.seconds >= start) & (df.index.seconds <= end)]
 points = list(selected_df[['latitude_deg','longitude_deg']].itertuples(index=False, name=None))
 fig.update_traces(marker_color='Red', selectedpoints=points)

Is highlighting a segment of mapbox plot possible?  For example the curved part of the plot below?

A: To achieve this I successfully used px.line_mapbox() function.

No winners in Franco-French settlement
Samer Iskandar
Monday May 3, 2004 5:00 pm
In business as in war, most battles have a winner and a loser. Unlike war, on rare occasions in business when both sides show restraint and a dose of co-operation, the more desirable outcome of a win-win can be achieved.
The worst possible outcome is when every protagonist loses as happened with last week's truce, brokered by the French government, between pharmaceuticals group Aventis and its aggressor Sanofi-Synthélabo.

Once Black Friday hits it seems as though the sales just never stop and I am totally ok with that. As I start thinking about resolutions and goals for the new year I also have been thinking about what holes are currently in my wardrobe and the pieces I need to fill them. Always one to look for a good sale, I have my eyes peeled for some great finds at great prices that I plan to snag over the next couple of days.
Saks - Up to 60% off select items. I have a soft spot for ruffles and this blush dress would make a lovely dress for attending a wedding. Stunning in it's simplicity and sophistication, you will no doubt wear this coat for years and years to come.

Nordstrom - Up to 50% off select items through Jan 2nd. I am mildly obsessed with plaid coats right now and love this red plaid style, which is currently 40% off. This pink peplum top is flirty and feminine, a steal for only $27.
Madewell - 30% off SALE items through Jan 4th with code "YESPLEASE". Some of my SALE favorites include this printed long-sleeve dress and this wear-everywhere striped cardigan. I'm majorly crushing on velvet this winter and love the idea of layering this ruffled dress over top of a slim fit turtleneck like this one from Uniqlo. Nothing beats a cozy a v-neck sweater, I especially love this heather navy version, perfect for pairing with distressed denim.
Express - Up to 60% off select items. This puff-sleeve top conveys designer-level chicness with minimal investment. This neutral button down is effortlessly cool while this striped blouse would look great with some high-waisted cropped jeans.

AstraZeneca and Abbott to develop companion diagnostic tests for tralokinumab in severe asthma
AstraZeneca today announced that it has entered an agreement with Abbott, a global healthcare company, to develop companion diagnostic tests to identify patients with severe asthma who are most likely to benefit from the investigational biological therapy, tralokinumab. To date, no companion diagnostic blood tests have been approved for use in asthma.
Under the terms of the agreement, Abbott will develop and commercialise diagnostic tests to measure serum levels of the proteins periostin and DPP4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), which have been identified as potential predictive biomarkers of up-regulated IL-13 in severe asthma. The tests will be developed in conjunction with AstraZeneca's Phase III trial of tralokinumab, a potential treatment for patients with severe, inadequately controlled asthma, developed by the company's biologics research and development arm, MedImmune. Periostin has been previously described as a potential biomarker for asthma1, and DPP4 is a novel and promising predictive biomarker identified by MedImmune.
The tralokinumab Phase III programme will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tralokinumab in reducing the rate of asthma exacerbations in adults and adolescents with severe, inadequately controlled asthma despite receiving inhaled corticosteroids plus long-acting β2-agonist. The programme will also assess the effect of tralokinumab on lung function, patient-reported asthma symptoms and quality of life, as well as investigate whether serum periostin or DPP4 could identify patients who are most likely to benefit from tralokinumab.
Bing Yao, Senior Vice President and Head of MedImmune's Respiratory, Inflammation and Autoimmunity Innovative Medicines Unit said: "This partnership with Abbott to develop companion diagnostics for tralokinumab is an important step in delivering on our ambition to bring innovative options for patients who continue to suffer with severe asthma. We anticipate that physicians will ultimately use these tests to better identify patients likely to benefit most from tralokinumab to bring their condition under control. We are on the cusp of a new era in personalised healthcare, one which will see great improvements for patients treated with respiratory medicines."
Personalised healthcare is at the centre of AstraZeneca's approach to drug discovery and development and this collaboration is part of the company's strategy to seek external partners to develop companion diagnostics that will help transform patients' lives.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which the bronchi are reversibly narrowed. It affects people of all ages and is a significant source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Asthma can be allergic (induced by an immune response to inhaled allergens such as pollen, fungal spores or dust mite particles) or non-allergic (induced by exercise, cough, viral respiratory infection, or inhalation of smoke or chemicals in the workplace). The airway narrowing characteristic of asthma is a response of the immune system to the asthma trigger.
Severe persistent asthma is classified by the frequency of symptoms throughout the day and night, use of reliever inhalers, interference with daily activities, peak flow readings and whether asthma exacerbations require use of oral systemic corticosteroids more than twice a year. Asthma treatment usually includes inhaled corticosteroids that reduce inflammation of the airways to prevent asthma symptoms and exacerbations, combined with long-acting β2-agonist bronchodilators and a short-acting β2-agonist or other bronchodilator for relief.
About MedImmune

Here is a little tool i made from an old rocker arm. it works really good, you can adjust what angle you pull from by using a ratchet in the socket and you can get your ratchet out of the way by using an extension when you are in the hard to reach place under the a/c. the shaft is just 13/16 TGP solid stock but you could use 3/4" anything or even cut up an old rocker shaft. when we do them we only hand tighten down the bolt that holds the shaft and go at it. really easy way to do it.
The socket idea is cool. Why didn't I think of that?! Gonna have to change mine now. Thanks alot, Jason.
Thanks for posting it here Jason. It's a great idea and if someone decided to make them it would sell for sure.
Worked totally awesome - Thanks Jason!
Looking at this the only mod I'd make is to have the pipe go from the center to the outer valve spring. this way you can do three out fo six fairly easily.


With the continually changing Google algorithms, it can be tricky to gain an advantage over your competitors online. However, even though the tools are continually evolving, the approach stays the same. It always comes back to this: if you create high-quality content that your audience reads, you will improve your prominence in Google results. The best way to accomplish this is by conducting thorough keyword research. Here are some excellent ways to make sure that your website is on point with SEO optimization.
The best way to conceptualize the idea of a keyword is to carefully look at your website and determine what kind of audience you are trying to attract and what your ideal reader is looking for. Take some time to go back through all of the content on your website and sort them into vague lists. The idea is to create various content buckets that a majority of your blog posts and content will fit into.
Once you've determined your content buckets, you can look through them to identify specific keywords. Look for the words and phrases that you would like rank highly in the search engines. While this isn't supposed to be a be all end all list of the keywords you can use, but rather a way for you to clearly identify the obvious ones.
Some keywords are easier to rank than others. The cheaper and easier keywords are long tail keywords. These are the keywords that are associated with much less traffic than the short tail keywords. Short tail keywords are more popular and more frequently searched. There are many tools on the web that you can use to help you determine the two different types of keywords; these include Google Adwords, Keyword Tool, and others.
To get a good keyword spread, you want to utilize tools like Topsy and Buzzsumo, or others like it on the web. You can use Topsy to uncover the convoluted and confusing work of social media keywords. It allows you to page through the recent history of keywords on social media to identify trends. Buzzsumo helps you to create comprehensive keyword lists that will help you compete with your competitors.
No matter how many times Google updates their algorithms, utilizing these tips can help you remain at the front of the pack and drive more traffic to your site.

Enrico is one of the most unique, interesting and charismatic people I have met in my life. His life is rhythmed by Wine, Food and Fly Fishing and his knowledge about each of these topics is absolutely incredible. One could sit for hours and listen to him talking about his passions …. as long as you are willing to do so over a glass of wine!
Enrico, first of all could you please tell us where do you come from? Were either of your parents involved with the wine industry?
I was born in Venice. My dad was a designer and my mum was a stay at home mum. I believe that I inherited my dad's artistic side and I probably developed an interest in cooking thanks to my mum. Food and wine always played an important role not only at home but everywhere in Venice. After war time, people embraced living: everybody wanted to enjoy life and be happy. It was normal to sit down, take time to have lunch and dinner and of course, wine was part of both of those meals.
I grew up in a world full of flavours and today I love what I do because it gives me the opportunity to work with flavours. The only thing is that food, in the past, used to have more taste than today and that everything used to belong to a season. For example, nobody would have been eating tomatoes in winter. Today, they are tomatoes all year around and they are unfortunately often, pretty tasteless all year around…. I believe that little bit by little bit, over time, people are losing their senses of smell and taste as a consequence of the food losing some of its flavours.
So from a young age, did you always want to work in the wine industry?
Not at all, I had quite an unusual start in my working life. I had been playing the French horn professionally for the Venice orchestra for over 10 years and, one day, I realized that working everyday with one hundred people sitting beside each other was not for me anymore.
My interest in wine had slowly developed before I quit the music world. It all started with a wine and food magazine that I bought in a local agent out of curiosity. I read the whole magazine with interest and once I finished reading it, I was left with a real curiosity for wine. I decided to start drinking less but better and to start buying more expensive wines….. and I ended up spending a fortune!!
The wine that changed everything for me was Soave Classico Pieropan 1993. I remember thinking: "how did I manage to drink such poor quality wines for so long? I want to drink this wine for the rest of my life". From that day, my curiosity for wine became a real appetite for knowledge and I started visiting many producers from around Venice.
I also was very lucky to meet a guy who owned a beautiful wine bar just outside Venice called "Oenoteca La Sosta". I used to stop there all the time coming back from concerts with the orchestra. I became very good friend with this guy who was actually studying oenology. He thought that I had a good palate and he suggested I follow him during his visit to different vineyards. Monday used to be my day off and every single Monday the two of us used to drive all around Italy to go and taste wine.
I feel very lucky. I knew nothing about wine and I got the chance to learn by listening to passionate winemakers and taste wines at every stage: from grape juice to a finished product.
So what did you do once you left the orchestra?
I originally left without really knowing what I was going to do with myself. I got offered a part time job in a wine bar and two months later I was managing the place.
One day a customer was sitting at the counter in the wine bar and we ended up having a chat. His name was Mauro and his dream was to run his own business…. 3 months later we opened a wine bar together. Not only I had met a business partner but also a friend for life.
The place had a small kitchen and I started cooking and realizing that I actually could cook well. We got very busy very quickly, it was a real success. Unfortunately, the contract with the landlord was for 2 years originally and because he realized how well we were doing, he refused to renew it and took over the place.
I ended up with no job again and as I could cook, I ended up working as a chef for a few months in Gratz (Austria). I then moved back to Italy, near Milan, in a restaurant called "La Crema" which had a Bip Gourmand. I got the chance to work with top class ingredients and one of the best butchers in Italy.
In 2003, Seamus Sheridans, who I had met previously when I owned the wine bar, called me to help him open a restaurant in Galway city. I was originally supposed to stay for a "couple of weeks"… and here I am 12 years later.
I worked with Sheridans for a few years, trying to develop Italian wines on the Irish market. It is hard to believe nowadays but at the time, back in 2003/2004, nobody was interested in Italian wines. Nobody wanted to buy them, nobody wanted to drink them. At the time, one of the only people who believed in what we were trying to achieve was Peter Dunne from Mitchels wine merchant. He actually became our first customer for Italian wines.
You then decided to open your own wine company "Grapecircus". I always wondered how you came up with such an usual name?
Italian wines were getting more popular and I wanted to work for myself. I opened Grapecircus in 2006 but I am still closely working with Sheridans.
I always thought that there is a side to the wine industry which is too serious, "old-fashioned" and the opposite of "fun". I suppose Grapecircus was an attempt to break this monotony and encourage a smile!
How do you choose the wines that you import ?
If we left the obvious stuff on the side, the wines that I import are wines that I like, that I can drink, and that are digest and have good drinkability.
Also, I need to like the person behind the wine. All the producers I work with care deeply about what they do, they are passionate, some of them are really quirky and temperamental but it does not matter because at the end of the day they are real perfectionist and I respect that.
From your list, what is your favourite "value for money" wine and where can we buy it?
Il Casolare Rosso by Fattoria San Lorenzo from the Marche region. It is a blend of 50% Montepulciano and 50% Sangiovese grown biodynamically. It is such a charming and complex wine for the price, I believe it is impossible to find better value. It has fruit, earthiness, dried flowers notes, hints of spices and the palate is beautifully savoury and smooth. It retails for approximately €13.99 and you can find it in Sheridans, Mitchels and the Wine Work Shop.
And now, with no budget restriction, still from your list, what is your favourite "spoil yourself" wine at the moment?
Finally, what are your favourite Italian grape varieties? In white and in Red?
I really like Fiano for the white grape varietal. It gives some beautifully elegant style of wines with lots of minerality. They can age very well and become very mineral like some of the top German Riesling.
For the Red grape, it has to be Nebbiolo. I am a massive fan of old Nebbiolo wines from Piemonte. They have such a great potential for deep, classy and characterful wines. Yes, they are not the cheapest wines out there but they are certainly worth aspiring to, to complete some special occasions.
In my own opinion, Italy is a country with a fantastic variety of wines available and it is a great inspiration to me any time I meet Enrico to be reminded what little gems Italy has to offer. These are often from areas which need to be highlighted by a passionate guide and without doubt, Enrico will continue to enrich the Italian wine offering in Ireland for years to come.
Thank you so much to Enrico Fantasia for giving me so much of his time for this interview. If you are an Italian wine lover or would like to know more about Italian wines, you can taste most of Enrico's wines in Sheridans wine bar in Galway while having a lovely plate of cheese or charcuterie.
