Flor, Spanish for Flower and Marché, French for Market, the name Flor Marché pays homage to owner and winemaker Elizabeth Reed's winemaking background. Elizabeth started Flor Marché with one tonne of riesling and two barrels of shiraz from the Porongurup and Mount Barker sub-regions of the Great Southern in 2010. For the last 7 years, she has continued to source high quality, single vineyard grapes in small batches to craft her wines. Current varietals include; sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon from Wilyabrup, Margaret River; riesling, pinot noir and shiraz from the Great Southern; and grenache and trebbiano from the Swan Valley.
Flor Marché wines are considered, balanced and beautiful. Perhaps most interesting about them is that owner and winemaker Elizabeth Reed does not shy away from transparency. The event's wine descriptions were detailed timelines of the wine's coming into being. A refreshing take when so many wineries label their wines with hyperbole or forced impressions.
Elizabeth was lovely and massively informative. She mentioned that she would always find herself more comfortable back at the winery or vineyard than out promoting her wines in the city but this sentiment did not, however, come across in her conversation, both with us, and the crowd of Grape to Glass.
When telling us about her journey in winemaking Elizabeth made clear that central to her is the building and cultivating of relationships, both professionally and personally. Small batch winemaking can very often be glorified as a solo effort, but Elizabeth is forward and thankful to the range of people who have helped her along her journey as a winemaker.
The first of these influences was university professor Tom Stannage, an inspirational teacher who Elizabeth said "Made me look deep within to evaluate my career path going forwards," and ultimately prompted her move from studying Arts to Viticulture & Oenology. Elizabeth feels that she has always been "Very split between the Arts and Sciences, and winemaking has been the perfect embodiment and expression of both." She offered a quote from her favourite author, Tom Robbins, which she believed perfectly, embodied her beliefs that "The scientist keeps the romantic honest and the romantic keeps the scientist human".
Further along her winemaking journey, Elizabeth credits winemakers Marco Capelli and Ricard Rofes for influence and inspiration. Elizabeth worked for Marco in Napa, California in 2002, Marco "…taught me to approach wine intuitively and trust my senses of smell and taste rather than rely on laboratory analysis. He remains one of my greatest inspirations to this day.' Ricard, another winemaking influence, established the Can Blau project with Elizabeth in the Montsant DO of Spain in 2004. The project to select the best fruit from vineyards in the Masroig sub-region saw them working for a number of years to create a wine which has become internationally lauded. Elizabeth and Ricard continue to collaborate on projects, working together to produce wine from the Priorat DO for their Catalitzador wine label.
In her current winemaking for Flor Marché, Elizabeth credits the excellent growers from whom she sources fruit, including Eugenio Valenti, an 85-year-old grape grower based in the Swan Valley. Eugenio planted his grapes in 1958, which Elizabeth uses to make her grenache and trebbiano. Such old grapes are a rarity in WA, and Elizabeth is incredibly fond of both the vines and of Eugenio. She is also working with a local potter in Wilyabrup, who has invited her to set up a cellar door in his pottery and gallery space. The two are researching different local clays and techniques to craft locally made amphorae: clay vessels used for wine fermentation. This will be an exciting innovation as the majority of amphorae currently used in Australia are imported from Europe.
Flor Marché wines are approachable and beautiful, all in the same sentence. They are nuanced, exciting wines which I have no doubt would be crowd pleasing enough to bring to a party or housewarming without hesitation.
On top of the four wines included in the tasting, Elizabeth brought up three extra wines: 'Rizzante' a riesling Pet Nat, her new release trebbiano, and a naturally fortified grenache.
Between Elizabeth's special additions, we tried her 2017 Sauvignon Blanc, a beautiful, balanced wine with extended skin contact which gave it chalky tannins. Following this the 2016 Grenache from Eugenio's 60-year-old grape vines. The Grenache had been left on skins for three weeks after fermenting, and had no contact with oak, leaving an expression of just the fruit with nothing else in the way. The resulting wine felt fruity with a little bit of bite. We're told this isn't a tasting note, but to us the wine felt very 'Red'. We think Red is good.
We continued on to the 2014 Longley Pinot Noir, a crowd favourite which was balanced, and lively. We finished on our personal favourite, the 2015 Elsie Cabernet Sauvignon. Elizabeth tells us the Cabernet Sauvignon was given structure from a subtle use of French oak. It felt warm and inviting. A quintessential, elegant Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon.
Hauling over to North Fremantle, this Grape To Glass brought us for our first time to Habitué. A warm, cozy and welcoming refuge from the cool, rainy night.
Next in Neighbourhood Event Co.'s Grape To Glass series is Mr. Barval at Budburst on July 20th followed by Vinteloper at The Shorehouse on July 27th.
We're featuring the Neighbourhood Event Co. roaming winemaker series Grape To Glass, a series of pop up cellar doors in a ton of different small bars and restaurants around Perth and Fremantle. The series runs every Thursday from the start of July until the end of August and last Thursday we kicked off at Queen Street's The Flour Factory with Brave New Wine, a Denmark winery owned and run by winemakers Yoko and Andries.
Brave New Wine begun as a single barrel of skin contact riesling in 2013. Andries called it a passion project and also an antidote to some of the less inspiring winemaking he was performing in his day job as a commercial winemaker. Yoko and Andries continued making the sort of wine which excited them, and for years they made wine at home for friends, themselves, and family.
"We source organic fruit, we ferment naturally and we don't add acid, enzymes or yeast, we don't fine or filter our wines. I understand why big wineries work differently, there's a lot which can go wrong in low intervention winemaking, but when they don't you end up with a wine with a real life and vitality" said Andries.
Yoko mentioned that the push to take Brave New Wine to bars and bottleshops actually came sooner than they were expecting. When Andries was made redundant after the commercial winery he was working for was bought out. With two kids and a mortgage, the couple realised it was time to put everything they had into their own wines.
Since selling their first bottle in just January of last year, Yoko and Andries have gone on to win the Danger Zone award from Young Gun of Wine for their Wonderland Botanical Riesling.
Yoko and Andries are unassuming and lovely, they were completely unpretentious about their winemaking process, both in it's success and challenges— One such challenge being their relative isolation in the world of small batch winemaking. Yoko told me that one of the best benefits to winning a Young Gun of Wine award was the chance to check in with other likeminded winemakers.
During the Grape To Glass event they shared stories about many of the aspects of winemaking which would never occur otherwise: from the practical: that, whilst they are always looking to make the sort of wines which they enjoy, it gets progressively harder to turn off the internal critic when drinking their own wine; to the unexpected: how Andries' hands go completely black during the harvest season; to the completely unexpected: Yoko asking to smell Andries' legs during times when he's come back from lengthy winemaking sessions.
We drank four of Yoko and Andries' wines during the Grape To Glass event, and afterwards were invited downstairs to try some of this year's Wonderland botanical riesling, pulled straight from the barrel on their way up.
Brave New Wine wines have a bite to them, there is a huge bouquet of acidity and flavour, which may well take you off guard. After this initial hit, their wines reveal themselves to be quietly beautiful, both easy to drink and fascinating. Several other guests at the night mentioned to me that Yoko and Andries had taken their favourite varietals, and made something completely unique with them. Andries' use of the word 'vitality' certainly comes to mind.
The wines are given names as a statement of intention of sorts, the varietal itself taking second billing. As Yoko and Andries are new wave winemakers, they aren't bound by any rules which state that a certain varietal must be made to taste a certain way, and with such a variety of winemaking techniques available to them, they felt that a name was a much better indication of how their wines would taste and feel, than simply labelling the varietal.
Nat Daddy, Petillant Naturel — A Petit Naturel or 'Pet Nat' is a wine predating champagne. Rather than adding more sugar and yeast after the first fermentation, this method involves bottling the wine before it has finished it's first fermentation. This red blend was very much alive. Funky and fruity, with a tart sweetness and bright bubbles. This wine was bottled without any additives of sulphur and the yeast was not extracted, leaving some sediment toward the end of the bottle. This wine felt genuine and funky.
Klusterphunk, skin contact Chardonnay — This chardonnay was an 'orange wine', or basically a reverse rose: Where a rose is the product of putting red grapes through a white wine process, orange wine is the product of putting white grapes through a red wine process. In this case, whole bunches of grapes were fermented over a fortnight, then put into a basket press with their stalks. The red wine tannins make this wine heavy and chalky. They used only old oak barrels, leaving none of the chewiness from which Chardonnay has earned a divisive reputation. This wine felt delicate and beautiful, the red wine feel pairs wonderfully with the juicy chardonnay.
Pi Oui, Pinot Noir — From one of Yoko and Andries' own managed vineyards, named 'slim pickings' after its very first vintage was decimated by crows. They call this wine their labour of love, and having spent four days hand plucking grapes off stems in order to fill a barrel with entirely unsquished, perfect grapes, they are certainly correct on the 'labour' part. This wine was an absolute crowd favourite, not too sweet, but bright and savoury and complex.
Schadenfreud, Shiraz — In the early days of Brave New Wine Yoko and Andries' had access to a vineyard producing amazing fruit, but which was being used by it's owner to make a reasonably unimpressive budget wine. The couple used this fruit to make their much lauded shiraz, and so earned the name 'schadenfreud' as a bit of a taunt. They now use grapes from a similarly located vineyard. This wine was the most familiar, it tasted dark, slightly wild, and delicate.
Wonderland, Botanical Riesling — Whilst the addition of native botanicals technically disqualifies this as a 'wine' this botanical riesling was like a gin martini in wine form. It felt like it was still lightly sparkling, although that may have been from the acidity. It felt incredibly ripe, bright and busy.
This Grape To Glass event was held at The Flour Factory on Queen Street in the Perth CBD. Afterwards the Flour Factory chef offered a paired degustation dinner, and Brave New Wine was made available by the glass and bottle. Their upstairs event space made for a lovely, intimate setting from which to taste and discuss these wonderful new wines.
We tried four great 75ml samples showing a range of Brave New Wine wines. After a brief introduction of themselves and their wine making, Yoko and Andries introduced each wine in what ranged from anecdotes and stories to intricate and interesting descriptions of their winemaking techniques and processes. We met plenty of lovely wine fans over the night, some die hard Brave New Wine followers, and some adventurous drinkers who just wanted to see what it was all about. The wines all showed up wonderfully in Riedel glasses, which we were invited to take home, and we may have gorged ourselves a little as The Flour Factory's delightful staff came by with beautiful cheeses and snacks.
The next Grape to Glass event is Thursday July 13th at Habitue. We'll be tasting from and meeting with Flor Marche wines. Tickets are $37.50 and are available here.

Yes, A Free Press Really Matters -- Especially in Times of Crisis
Forrest Hartman
There will be time for an outbreak postmortem once the U.S. gets past the threat of the coronavirus -- and the nation will move past it, just as it has countless challenges in the past. The question now is how many Americans will suffer and how many will die unnecessarily. Our goal should be to protect as many fellow citizens as possible, regardless of political affiliation, race, age, gender, etc. Viruses neither care about nor recognize these traits, nor should we when addressing a crisis. Unfortunately, our efforts to safeguard the populace have been seriously undermined by the current social and political climate, rife with division and prejudice, and this climate has been not only fostered, but furthered, by the current administration.

California Prisoners' Hunger Strike Enters Its Third Week
Sal Rodriguez
California prisoners in over a dozen prisons are entering their third week on hunger strike, which began on July 8th with 30,000 prisoners across the state participating. This is the third hunger strike since June 2011 that California prisoners in the Security Housing Units (SHU) have participated in, demanding the same five core demands, with an emphasis on ending California's practice of long-term segregation of inmates suspected of prison gang affiliation.

Will the FCC Side With Media Diversity or Embrace Rupert Murdoch?
Joseph Torres
Last week, the FCC released new figures that showed that ownership of TV and radio stations by women and people of color remains abysmally low. People of color own just 3.6 percent of all full-power TV stations, and women own less than 7 percent. If the changes Genachowski is seeking are approved, one company will be allowed to own the daily newspaper, two TV stations and up to eight radio stations in the same market. These changes would disproportionately impact communities of color. In fact, nearly 40 percent of TV stations owned by people of color could be impacted by the FCC's decision since they are located in the top-20 markets, which are the ones affected by this rule change.

Learning to Communicate in Science and Engineering: Case Studies from MIT
Case studies and pedagogical strategies to help science and engineering students improve their writing and speaking skills while developing professional identities. To many science and engineering students, the task of writing may seem irrelevant to their future professional careers. At MIT, however, students discover that writing about their technical work is important not only in solving real-world problems but also in developing their professional identities. MIT puts into practice the belief that "engineers who don't write well end up working for engineers who do write well," requiring all students to take "communications-intensive" classes in which they learn from MIT faculty and writing instructors how to express their ideas in writing and in presentations. Students are challenged not only to think like professional scientists and engineers but also to communicate like them.This book offers in-depth case studies and pedagogical strategies from a range of science and engineering communication-intensive classes at MIT. It traces the progress of seventeen students from diverse backgrounds in seven classes that span five departments. Undergraduates in biology attempt to turn scientific findings into a research article; graduate students learn to define their research for scientific grant writing; undergraduates in biomedical engineering learn to use data as evidence; and students in aeronautic and astronautic engineering learn to communicate collaboratively. Each case study is introduced by a description of its theoretical and curricular context and an outline of the objectives for the students' activities. The studies describe the on-the-ground realities of working with faculty, staff, and students to achieve communication and course goals, offering lessons that can be easily applied to a wide variety of settings and institutions.

Trenton businessman Paul Perez announces run for mayor
Updated Mar 30, 2019; Posted Apr 17, 2013
Paul Perez will officially announce his candidacy for Trenton mayor on Friday.
By Emily Brill/Times of Trenton
TRENTON — Businessman Paul Perez said today that he will run for mayor, making him the fifth declared candidate in the May 2014 election.
Perez, 50, who returned to his native Trenton in November after more than 30 years away, said he will make an official announcement on the steps of City Hall on Friday.
"I believe I'm the right person to come here to solve the issues regarding out-of-control crime," Perez said. "Make me the mayor today, and tomorrow you will have 105 police officers back on duty."
Perez said he dropped out of Trenton Central High School in 1980, served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, worked as a special agent with the Army's Criminal Investigation Command and spent three years as a division director of the National Science Foundation. He and now runs a consulting business out of his Trenton home
Perez said his years of managerial and executive experience make him uniquely qualified to be mayor. He said he believes the biggest issue facing Trenton is crime.
"We need to do a better job of what we're doing with our money and prioritizing what's best for our city," Perez said. "The priority should always be public safety."
Though the election is more than a year away, several candidates have said they are running: entrepreneur Patrick Hall, Mercer County Deputy Clerk Walker Worthy, former Police Director James Golden and former public works director Eric Jackson, who finished third in the 2010 mayoral election.
Mayor Tony Mack, who faces a trial this summer on federal corruption charges, has not officially said whether he will run again. But at a sparsely attended town hall meeting yesterday he spoke of being "re-elected overwhelmingly."

The work of Glenn Whitehouse of Ontario, Canada.
Photos by Glenn Whitehouse. Click on the thumbnail to see the full size photo.
As a Custom Builder of cars I was approached by a few modellers and historians to see if I would construct some Detroit Peter Witts. As these cars were quite unique and, being a Witt Fan, I decided to try my hand at them. Jack Schramm, a former DSR Employee and noted Author of Traction Books living in Warren Michigan wanted a model of DSR 3850 for his 80th Birthday on July 27th. 3850 was the car he chose, as it was the only one of this type constructed in the DSR Shops. DSR 3756 one of Group 9 Peter Witts purchased in 1929 from Perley A. Thomas Co. and called "The Detroiter", was one constructed for Howard Ziegel of Livonia, Michigan.
Both cars are quite different in appearance. The cars are constructed of styrene bodies (layered) with the outer skin containing rivet detail, etc. The floors are of 1/8" bass wood, and I use the "Ivor Walsh" method of drop out floors containing hidden wiring with 2/56 screw mounts for contact points. Trucks are of course "Q" Car to suit the particular car. The interiors of the cars are completely detailed with seats, passengers and lighting. The lighting consists of four 14 volt 3 mm. dia. light bulbs. The head lights are LED's. All are wired off the two interior light bars in the roof. The roof is also constructed of formed styrene sheeting over interior formers similar to model aircraft construction.
The canvas effect of the roof is done with strips of 11/2" masking tape., as is the interior of the roof. Once painted they look like the real thing. The cars were spray painted as close as possible to the original cars. Pin Striping is Chart Pack Tape or the type used for auto's, and lettering is either Dry Transfer or Decals. A complete set of destination signs has been prepared by one of my fellow modellers and computer geek. They are being done on matte photo paper for insertion into the back lit sign boxes.
Niagara St. Catherines & Toronto was considered to be the last truly Interurban system to operate both passenger and freight trains in regularly scheduled service in North America. The N S & T also operated steamships that once plied the waters of Lake Ontario. The last passenger service was I believe 1959, while freight service continued till 1960. After 1960 diesel power was the norm under the CNR banner. Much of the original track network has been cut back by the CNR as trucking became the norm.
N S & T locomotive No. 17 shown in these photos represents the type of equipment that could be found on this once great traction system. This locomotive was a 50 ton, 35' long by 9' wide version of a number (12) that were constructed for the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario between 1918 and 1920. The locomotive car body was built by The National Steel Car Company at it's Hamilton Ontario facility. Electrical and motive power was supplied either by Westinghouse (6) or by General Electric (6). It is not clear which Company supplied the electrical power for No.17.
No. 17 was acquired by the N S & T in 1926 after the HEPC had finished the Queenston Hydro Generating Project at Niagara Falls Ontario. No. 17 was in service until closure of the electric operations in 1960. The locomotive was then sent to the Oshawa Railway ( a CNR subsidiary) where it continued in service for another four years. Locomotive No. 17 was scrapped in June of 1964 at the Standard Steel Company in St. Thomas Ontario.
This model of No. 17 was constructed for Phil Spencer of Toronto, and in the First Image shows its basic construction comprising a brass channel frame and cross members with a body shell composed mostly of styrene with some bass wood floor components. The trucks are Q Car 6' - 0" Arch Bar Design as was the prototype. A second model of this loco is presently under construction for Bill Salton Of St. Catherines, Ontario.
The Second Image shows the locomotive at the freight shed in it's finished stage prior to being dull coated and installing KD Couplers.
The Third Image shows the locomotive after dull coating (what a difference) with couplers in place. The interior of the loco is lighted as are the marker lights and head lights. It also has details such as controllers, engineer (2), opening doors. The entire project took about four months to complete.
The Fourth Image is of another N S & T piece of equipment that I constructed for Bill Salton of St.Catherines, Ontario, being car No. 620, formerly M & S C No. 620 ( Ottawa Car Co 1930 - Length 51' - 2", width 8' - 51/2"). The model is of etched brass construction with a bass wood floor. The brass sheet was acquired many years ago from the US (origin unknown). The etching was of single depth and required considerable work, such as cutting out and recessing the doors, cleaning out the windows etc. The model is completely detailed inside, and includes the unusual double door system that was on this car. It was finished as per the final version of this car which lasted till the very end of service. Trucks - Baldwin 6'- 0" (Q Drive) and detail parts supplied by Q Car Co.
The Fifth and Sixth images are of N S & T car No. 134. This car was built by The Preston Car and Coach Company in Preston Ontario, in 1914. It is an unusual combine in that only one side had a baggage door. The car was 58'- 0" in length and 9"- 6" in width, and had 6"- 6" Taylor trucks. This model along with a model of No. 135 was constructed for Bill Salton of St.Catherines, Ontario. These cars are constructed with bass wood floors, a combination of styrene and card stock body parts are completely detailed and lighted. All detail parts are from Q Car including the Taylor Trucks. These models placed first in the Master Modellers Contest of the East Penn Model Meet a few years ago.

What's the one thing that'll always be there for you after a long, stressful day? According to a new poll, there's a clear answer.
Pizza is the number one comfort food Americans turn to for stress relief, according to a recent online survey of 2,252 adults conducted by The Harris Poll. Chocolate, ice cream, mac and cheese, and potato chips all scored high on the list as well.
Some 67 percent of Americans report eating comfort food when feeling down, according to this same poll.
It's called comfort food for a reason: Eating food is often an emotional experience. A 2015 University at Buffalo study found that for many, eating can make them feel less alone. The research suggests that people with strong social connections in particular enjoy the taste of comfort food when they experience feelings of isolation.
"Comfort foods are often the foods that our caregivers gave us when we were children," Shira Gabriel, one of the study's authors, said in a news release. "As long we have positive association with the person who made that food then there's a good chance that you will be drawn to that food during times of rejection or isolation."
It makes sense, then, that pizza ranks highest on the list of Americans' favorite comfort foods. In the U.S., pizza is a staple of children's events, from birthday parties to school celebrations.
But nostalgia alone doesn't fully explain our love for the saucy pie. There's also chemistry: The American Chemical Society says pizza is "the food of the gods" because of the highly palatable mix of the acidic tomato sauce, stringy mozzarella and a crust that's browned by cooking.
Beyond straight up deliciousness, pizza has a high concentration of the stuff that revs us up -- sugar and fat, primarily -- and that the body finds so irresistible. A research team at the University of Michigan found pizza to be the most "addictive food," though we don't really like that term.
There's nothing wrong with turning to comfort food every now and again, as long as it makes you feel good -- and not out of control. You can have your pizza and eat it, too. If you want the comforting taste of a slice, but are trying to be a little bit healthier, consider loading the pie with vegetables, or prioritizing the side salad.
That said, if you're having a stress attack, you could do better. Try to take a pause and find something else -- like exercise, journaling or talking to a friend -- to take the edge off.


Chocolate mango and lychee meringue tart: pâte brisée, dark chocolate appareil, macerated mando, lychee meringues.
There are winds of change in Argentina. Based on great doses of perseverance and passion, Chef Luciano García is succeeding in introducing a taste for an updated, balanced, subtly Argentine pastry despite being clearly related to The French classics in the hearts of the new generations that pass through the OTT College of Buenos Aires.
Pastry that Luciano not only teaches, but is also successfully introducing in the OTT Warehouse, an establishment attached to the school. There, he offers creations like the three shown in these pages.
Elegant presentations that combine two or three ingredients with brilliance. Products that not only seduce the customers in Buenos Aires, but also demonstrate the gastronomic potential of good pastry.
Make a sandy dough with the flour and butter dice. Add the sugar and salt. Finally beat in the egg and, if needed, some water. Make two fresaiges and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out to 4 mm and line a 20x20x3-cm frame. Refrigerate again and bake at 170ºC to a slightly golden color.
Make a ganache with the cream, milk and chocolate. Add the eggs, making sure they are fully incorporated. Cast over the pâte brisée and bake at 100ºC for approximately 25 minutes. Make sure the egg is perfectly set, preventing the preparation from boiling. Allow to cool.
Make a syrup with the sugar and water until it reaches a boil. Infuse the lime zest and allow to cool completely. Cut the mango into 1×1 cm cubes and macerate in the syrup in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Make a Swiss meringue and give some extra flavor with the lychee essence. Pipe in the shape of small dollops with the help of a pastry bag fitted with a #9 tip and dry in a 100ºC oven.
Garnish all the surface with the macerated mango cubes and scatter with meringue buttons.

Pre-poll survey projects Nitish win in Bihar
The Grand Alliance led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is tipped to win a simple majority in the assembly polls starting on Monday, according to a pre-election survey.
Another survey warned of a hung assembly, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA securing 119 seats, to the Grand Alliance's 116 in the 243-member assembly. The half-way mark in the house is 122 seats.
The CNN IBN/IBN7-Axis survey has given 69 seats to Nitish Kumar's JD-U, 48 seats to RJD and 20 seats to the Congress (Photo: IANS)
A CNN IBN/IBN7-Axis survey said the Grand Alliance of the Janata Dal-United (JD-U), the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress was expected to win 137 seats.
The BJP-led coalition was poised to win 95 seats, garnering a 38 percent vote share. The Grand Alliance was tipped to get 46 percent vote share.
The NDA's main constituent, the BJP, was projected to win 82 seats. Its ally the LJP of Ram Vilas Paswan may get only two seats. Former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's HAM is expected to bag eight seats and the RLSP of Upendra Kushwaha three seats.
The JD-U led by Nitish Kumar was expected to win 69 seats, followed by Lalu Prasad's RJD (48 seats) and the Congress (20 seats).
The survey, conducted between September 3 and October 4, involved over 24,000 respondents and covered all the 38 districts and 243 constituencies of Bihar.
Fifty percent of the respondents were in the 18-35 age group, 32 percent in the 36-50 age group and the remaining fell in the 50-plus age group.
In a paradox of sorts, 33 percent of Yadavs and 28 percent of Muslims seemed to be deserting the RJD and the JD-U in favour of the NDA or others.
At the same time, the Grand Alliance was likely to get more votes from the youth (18-35 age group) than the NDA alliance.
Just over 40 percent feel Nitish Kumar will benefit electorally because of the alliance with Lalu Prasad.
Development would be the main election issue. Other issues are inflation and "bijli-paani-sadak", ranking second with 13 percent each.
As many as 45 percent of the respondents felt the Nitish government had performed as per expectations while 17 percent said it exceeded their expectations.
With reference to areas of failure, 45 percent said there was no control over corruption during Nitish Kumar's rule.
Nitish Kumar's development model got a thumbs-up from 52 percent of the respondents. In contrast, the development model of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the central government got 48 percent support.
The India TV-CVoter pre-poll survey said the BJP-led NDA could win 119 seats, three short of the magic mark of 122 in the Bihar assembly, and the Grand Alliance 116. Eight seats may go to 'Others'.
The NDA has been projected to get 43 percent vote share, compared to 41 percent for the Grand Alliance.
The C-Voter survey covered 9,916 interviews covering all 243 segments.
In 2010, the then BJP-JD-U alliance won 206 seats, while the RJD-led alliance with Ram Vilas Paswan got only 25 seats. In the 2014 Lok Sabha battle, the NDA won in 174 assembly segments.
Asked which was the biggest issue for the voters, 17.9 percent said unemployment, 12.7 percent said power cuts, while 25 percent respondents said "can't say".
Asked which party can solve these problems better, 44.7 percent opted for the NDA while 38.6 percent favoured the RJD-JD-U-Congress alliance.
In the caste-wise social groupings, 44 percent Dalits, 41 percent Mahadalits, 50 percent MBC (most backward castes), 29 percent OBC and a whopping 70 percent upper castes favoured the NDA.
Another 28 percent Dalits, 33 percent Mahadalits, 31 percent MBC, a whopping 59 percent OBC and 15 percent upper caste respondents favoured the Grand Alliance. - IANS

Presence and Correlation of Some Enteric Indicator Bacteria, Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli Pathotypes, and Salmonella Serotypes in Alfalfa Sprouts from Local Retail Markets in Pachuca, Mexico
Castro Rosas, Javier
54.Rangel-Vargas, E., Gómez-Aldapa, C. A., Torres-Vitela, M. R., Villarruel-López, A., Gordillo-Martínez, A. J., Castro-Rosas, J. 2015. Presence and Correlation of Some Enteric Indicator Bacteria, Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli Pathotypes, and Salmonella Serotypes in Alfalfa Sprouts from Local Retail Markets in Pachuca, Mexico. Journal of Food Protection, 3, 609-614(6).
Data on the presence of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes (DEPs) in alfalfa sprouts and correlations between the presence of coliform bacteria (CB), fecal coliforms (FC), E. coli, DEPs, and Salmonella in alfalfa sprouts are not available. The presence of and correlations between CB, FC, E. coli, DEPs, and Salmonella in alfalfa sprouts were determined. One hundred sprout samples were collected from retail markets in Pachuca, Hidalgo State, Mexico. The presence of indicator bacteria and Salmonella was determined using conventional culture procedures. DEPs were identified using two multiplex PCR procedures. One hundred percent of samples were positive for CB, 90% for FC, 84% for E. coli, 10% for DEPs, and 4% for Salmonella. The populations of CB ranged from 6.2 up to 8.6 log CFU/g. The FC and E. coli concentrations were between , 3 and 1,100 most probable number (MPN)/g. The DEPs identified included enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC; 2%), enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC; 3%), and Shiga toxin?producing E. coli (STEC; 5%). No E. coli O157:H7 strains were detected in any STEC-positive samples. In samples positive for DEPs, the concentrations ranged from 210 to 240 MPN/g for ETEC, 28 to 1,100 MPN/g for EPEC, and 3.6 to 460 MPN/g for STEC. The Salmonella isolates identified included Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium in three samples and Salmonella enterica serotype Enteritidis in one. STEC and Salmonella Typhimurium were identified together in one sample. Positive correlations were observed between FC and E. coli, between FC and DEPs, and between E. coli and DEPs. Negative correlations occurred between CB and DEPs and between CB and Salmonella. Neither FC nor E. coli correlated with Salmonella in the sprout samples. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ETEC, EPEC, and STEC isolated from alfalfa sprouts and the first report of correlations between different indicator groups versus DEPs and Salmonella.

Read both passages carefully before attempting to answer any of the questions.
Jot down the main themes of each paragraph in the margins so you do not lose track of the points.
Understand what the question is asking you. Inferential questions are tricky and require further analysis.
Do not 'lift' points from the passage, paraphrase so that you answer the questions directly.
When a question says "use your own words", do exactly that without changing its meaning as found in the passage.
For vocab questions, analyse the context that vocabulary is used in a sentence and determine its meaning.

Једнакост ритуала () издат 1987. је трећи роман Терија Прачета о Дисксвету.

Радња

Чаробњак коме није остало још много од живота, обрео се на високим планинама Рамптопима, односно у сеоцету које се ту налазило у потрази за наследником. То може бити само осми син осмог сина и он се ослања на своју магију да га пронађе. Када му се чинило да је пронашао новорођенче које је идеалан кандидат и предао своју чаробну палицу, те спокојно умро, испоставило се да је син заправо кћерка. Бабица и вештица, бака Ведервакс покушавала је да спаси ситуацију и у годинама које следе истрајавала у напорима да обучи девојчицу да постане вештица. Иако веома надарена за магију, мала Еска се није сналазила најбоље са тајнама вештичарења и бака је коначно увидела да мора да препусти девојчицу својој судбини. Међутим, то је био опасан преседан, јер до тада није био забележен ни један случај да је чаробњак била жена. Упркос томе, вештица и њена ученица су се запутиле у Анк-Морпорк на Невидљиви универзитет на коме се обучавају чаробњаци. На том путу су се обе суочиле са бројним проблемима, а највећи је настао када су увиделе да су чаробњаци врло затворен круг мушких шовиниста...

Критике и коментари
Роман је добио позитивне критике у часописима "-{The Good Book Guide}-", "-{Kirkus Reviews}-" и "-{The Scotsman}-". Радња је окарактерисана као добра и духовито писана. Сајт -{The L-Space Web}- карактерише радњу као класичан сукоб женске магије окренуте природи и биљу и мушке, којој сами мушкарци дају на значењу и која је базирана на речима, књигама и геометрији. Овај сукоб упоређује са мушко-женским односима у реалном животу. Сам Прачет се противи класичној представи која се пропагира у сликовницама за децу, а према којима је магија чаробњака моћна и баш онаква какву би свако желео да поседује, док је магија жена или вештица, застрашујућа. Један од дописника сајта -{The L-Space Web}- наводи да је 1987. интервјуисао Терија Прачета управо због овог романа и да је тада Прачет изјавио да су му као инпирација послужила дела Џоша Кирбија, која су можда случајно под утицајем Фројдовског учења. Отуда класичан приказ вештице са метлом која симболизује пенис, као и бурни тинејџерски снови главног лика који одсликавају њене жеље. И у овој књизи Прачет прави алузије на разне теме, па тако се помиње шумски бог Хоки, чије је име комбинација чаробне речи "хокус" и нордијског бога Локија, мада је по опису он очигледна алузија на грчког Пана.

How Much Did That Track Cost?
Ian Pearse now knows what it's like for an opposing quarterback to stand in the pocket and face a blitzing USC defense.
Pearse was confronted by about 50 trainers – some of them loaded for bear – in the Santa Anita grandstand on Wednesday morning during an hour-long meeting that was arranged by California Thoroughbred Trainers board member Clifford Sise.
The trainers showed up to express their fears over a synthetic Pro-Ride surface, founded by Pearse, that has been a heated topic during the first 10 days of the meet.
Five horses broke down during the first week of the meet, and three had to be euthanized. There have been no breakdowns in the past five days, but trainers are still complaining about the condition of a surface that the Australian-based Pearse installed at Santa Anita this past summer.
Mark Glatt said he was one of a handful of trainers who walked the track last weekend.
Vladimir Cerin was a proponent of synthetic tracks when they debuted at Hollywood Park in the fall of 2006, but he's now concerned about a Pro-Ride surface that was universally praised during the Breeders' Cup in October.
"Training on this track is like walking on a minefield," he said. "The question is, who will be next?
"It's easy to see obvious problems, but in this case nothing was obviously wrong," he said.
Pearse, while admitting he has no maintenance agreement with Santa Anita, said a different plan of action needs to be implemented now that the weather has changed. He said the recent power harrowing was necessary to ensure an equal density throughout the surface.
"We need to have a different program now than what we had in the summer," he said.
He said the U.S. is the only country where there is training and racing on the same track on the same day and that adjustments need to be made.
"It's a whole new ballgame," Pearse said.
Asked by trainer Darrell Vienna if the horses were the guinea pigs, Pearse didn't refute the analogy.
"In this instance, yes," he said.
Longtime trainers Bruce Headley, Mel Stute and Henry Moreno were perhaps the most outspoken.
About 20 minutes into the meeting, Stute got up, mumbled, "I've heard enough of this (bleep)," and left.
Moreno told the assembled group he thinks racing should go back to traditional dirt tracks.
"This is the worst I've ever seen in my 58 years in racing," he said.
David Hofmans and Dan Hendricks, while admitting concerns, were two trainers who said they don't want to return to the days of sealed, dirt tracks.
"We shouldn't forget about how bad it used to be," Hendricks said.
John Sadler, winner of four of the past six Southland training titles, urged Ed Halpern, executive director of the CTT, to ask the California Horse Racing Board to remove the synthetic-track mandate.
"We just don't want to be encumbered by the mandate," Sadler said.
Halpern said that probably would not be necessary, that he felt the CHRB would back whatever needed to be done and would not enforce the mandate.
An official meeting between Pearse, selected trainers, veterinarians and Santa Anita officials is scheduled for today.


Smart tech is changing everything from the homes we live in to how our cities are managed, and the hospitality industry is no exception. In fact, in many ways, the hospitality industry is leading the charge in the adoption of smart business technology.
After all, from operations to guest experience to marketing, smart hotel tech offers a variety of both cost savings and revenue opportunities, and is allowing hotels to reach new levels of profitability. Here are some of the ways in which smart tech will be reshaping the hotel industry in the very near future.
Big data is great when you can use it to take action – whether that's tackling a new market segment or adjusting your rate plans to compete against your competitors. However, the biggest concern around big data and the necessary data harboring is the safety around it. Every data harborer's goal is to keep their customers' data safe, but that's easier said than done. In recent years, we've seen massive data breaches that have literally put hundreds of millions of consumers at risk – like Equifax and Target.
As the price-point of big data solutions makes them more accessible to medium-sized segments of the hotel market, we can expect to see more hotel owners adopt and invest in them. More importantly, however, we can expect solution providers who can guarantee data protect to dominate their market segments.
On the operations side of the hospitality industry, one of the most prominent smart techs we will see hotels continue to adopt will be smart energy management solutions. And for good reason: in the hospitality industry, energy consumption is the largest utility cost of all.
Indeed, the 2015 edition of Trends in the Hotel Industry found that "electricity is the largest utility expense comprising 60 percent of total expenditures." And smart technology is helping hotels manage and reduce their energy costs in a variety of ways. And the result is not just reduced costs, but improved guest experiences well.
For starters, smart thermostats and occupancy sensors can monitor and respond to fluctuations in occupancy. More importantly, smart energy management systems like Verdant EI use sophisticated machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze historical thermodynamics, local weather patterns, and peak demand loads to optimize energy consumption in real-time, all year round.
And smart energy savings aren't just wild speculation. Indeed, smart energy management systems can reduce hotel energy costs by up to 20%, and generate some of the fastest payback periods in the industry (between 12-24 months). They can also significantly increase the resale value of a hotel.
The energy savings from IoT technology is not limited only to HVAC systems. Smart Lighting technology also allows hotels to better understand their energy needs, automate their consumption, and adapt to real-time changes in occupancy. Essentially, just as smart HVAC systems (such as Verdant EI) use occupancy sensors and machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze demand load patterns and optimize HVAC energy consumption, smart lighting systems similarly allow hotels to set preferred lighting times, track occupancy patterns, and improve overall lighting energy consumption throughout the year.
For instance, when the Chatwal Hotel in New York City retrofitted approximately 1,300 lamps, in the hallways, common areas, and 80 rooms, it saved more than 410,000 annual kilowatt-hours, equating to a 90% reduction in lighting energy consumption. Indeed, the Chatwal Hotel saved around $124,255 in the first year alone.
Just as smart energy management systems allow hotels to monitor, track, and optimize energy consumption, Predictive Maintenance allows them to use sensor data to identify wasteful or hazardous trends and alert maintenance staff before a given issue escalates into a much more costly one. So rather than waiting for a component to break down before being maintenanced or replaced, IoT technologies allow engineering staff to predict maintenance needs based on system usage, prevent system failures, and reduce the costs of operating a faulty system.
Consider how a single leaky toilet can cost as much as $840/year, and then add the cost of any additional water damage that occurs until the leak is detected. By monitoring water lines with smart, low-cost IoT-enabled water meters, however, hotels can see an ROI on their water consumption in about 4 years.
Similarly, Verdant's online management platform continuously collects data related to HVAC runtimes for each unique room and assigns them efficiency ratings. This rating is an indicator of how quickly a room can be heated or cooled back down to the guest's preferred temperature and provides engineering teams with critical alerts when HVAC equipment is in need of attention.
Of course, no hotel can operate without guests, and for that reason, we can expect to see smart tech further shape guest experience and, consequently, guest expectations. Essentially, not only can guest data be used to help better accommodate guest needs, but' in conjunction with occupancy sensors, it can also be used to automate guest interactions throughout their stay, reducing both friction points and labor costs.
In other words, smart tech will continue to make it possible for hotels to predict and personalize a number of guest services based on both previous visits and aggregated guest data.
Hotels now also have the opportunity to use smart sensors and hotel apps to allow guests to reserve parking spots in advance of their visit, and to have their space assigned upon arrival. This will not only save hotels on the labour costs of manually managing parking inventory, but it will also offer guests a smoother experience from the moment they pull-in.
By allowing guests to check-in remotely through their mobile device, hotel owners can better predict/manage their staffing needs and save considerably on labor costs. This technology can also alert hotel staff when guests arrive, allowing them to spend less time on the welcoming process, offer appropriate upgrades/upsells, and provide them with a more personalized guest experience — even on their first visit.
Then, at the end of the their stay, guests can enjoy a seamless self check-out experience that also allows them to arrange for their preferred transportation to their next destination (whether it be taxi, airport shuttle, or popular ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft) — allowing the hotels to save further on labour costs.
In the coming years, more hotels will offer guests room access via their smartphone app. This will save hotels the expense and hassle of managing a key card inventory that is prone to loss and demagnetization.
Smart occupancy sensors will also help hotels push menu notifications to smartphones at optimal times when the guests are in their room. These notifications can even include personalized suggestions based on past orders. Indeed, many home food delivery apps (such as JustEat) already offer a similar experience, sending push notifications to frequent users at their preferred ordering times on their preferred days.
Of course, before the hotel properties of the near future can deliver on a smart guest experience, they have to bring the guests through the door, and that's where smart marketing comes in. Indeed, the data opportunities of smart tech offer hotels a more complete picture of their guests than ever before. The catch, though, is the hotels that leverage that insight are the ones that will continue to succeed in the face of increased competition from Airbnb.
A hotel's online ratings can not only help predict future bookings, but they offer help owners valuable insight into how well a property delivered on guest expectations.
This is why we can expect to continue to see hotels invest in platforms that help them monitor online reviews, manage their online reputation, and use that feedback to improve both their operational and guest experience standards. Indeed, online reviews not only provide a source of direct feedback from guests, but they also impact a property's bottom line.
Of course, the challenge with online ratings is that many guest will never leave one at all. Consequently, they don't provide a complete picture of guests' experiences.
This is why we can expect an increase in the use of customer surveys as a data collection tool.
From tracking repeat customers to tracking the value of their purchases, there are several KPIs you can use to measure the success of loyalty programs. If your loyalty program isn't meeting the goals and objectives you had for it from the outset, revamp it to be ROI driven and more enticing.
In other words, loyalty programs will help hotels more precisely measure the guest experience of their most valuable customers, helping them to optimize guest experience and secure future bookings.
The world around us seems to be changing at an increasing rate, and the hospitality industry with it. While some technology brings increased competition and threatens decreased revenues, other technology offers more than sufficient to offset diversity.
As we move toward 2020, we can expect to see more hotel properties leverage a variety of smart tech to reduce operational costs, improve guest experience, and exploit new sources of revenue. The opportunity is in the data. And the successful properties will be the ones that invest in collecting and analyzing it in an actionable fashion.


I called about getting an appointment quickly because my tooth was painful. They immediately got me an appointment in two days. The next day they called back and said it was now possible to come in in a few hours because someone could not make their appointment. They saw me that day and then referred me to an Endodontist that also saw me and immediately relieved my pain, also that same day. Done more quickly than I expected!
Wonderful place all around. Dr. Brian took time to show me my xrays and explain in detail what problems I may encounter in the future. Great staff. Love the office decor!!
They always do a wonderful job, great service, very friendly and do a professional job. They take their time and never make you feel like an extra number. You will not regret coming here!
Best dentist I ever had.
A great dental practice. Everyone there is so friendly and professional. The office and treatment areas are clean and relaxing and the cleaning and check up procedures are caring. I have had several fillings replaced and they have always been done with the highest quality and attention to detail.
Everyone was exceptionally nice and gentle dealing with my tooth ache problem. They put me at ease when I was in pain. Dr McManus was very helpful offering suggestions and allowing me to chose how I wanted to proceed. Very professional staff and office. Thank you!
Great experience every time I visit for dental concern. The analysis of the concern is through, followed by detailed work and follow up. I am a senior citizen. Since I started visiting Brier Creek dental studio, all my dental concerns are gone and quality of life is significantly improved. I recommend Brier Creek dental studio to everyone regardless of age.
I wouldn't go anywhere else In Raleigh! Best dental care in the area. The kindness of all employees is the icing on the cake.
Thank you, Kelly! We love having you and your family as patients!
I recently visited BCDS for the first time, and I was very impressed with their efficiency, professionalism and friendliness. I will be returning as a regular patient for sure.
Brian is always organized and efficient...abd very knowledgable. The staff members are all cordial and helpful.

DW Clark's greenhouse project started by accident. Clark got the materials for his project from a friend who was replacing the windows in her home.
Clark has lived in the northwest area for 15 years now with his wife and works at KOMO TV. As an avid recycler he never contemplated using anything else but reclaimed items for the greenhouse. He has other projects he's built recently including a pergola and a planter out of salvaged building supplies. "I have always enjoyed finding new uses for discarded material," he said.
The potting shed took Clark two years to complete by himself. Clark said that he faked his construction skills for most of the project. One interesting thing about Clark's potting shed is that the top is built in the same proportions as the Cheops Pyramids in Egypt and is oriented to north.

'Silicon Module Super League' (SMSL) member GCL System Integration Technology (GCL-SI) has secured a 62MW module supply deal with Brazil-based engineering company, WEG.
GCL-SI said it would ship its GCL-P6/72 325W modules to WEG from September to November this year and is one of the first supply deals the SMSL member has secured in Latin America.
PV Tech previously reported earlier this year that WEG had won an EPC contract to build two solar PV projects of 31.12MW capacity each, being developed by Nordic Power Partners (NPP) at Coremas, Paraiba, in northeast Brazil.
GCL-SI also noted that the Brazilian market may well be focused on the utility-scale business, due to previous government tenders but highlighted that the distributed generation (DG) market was emerging as an area for potential growth.

In this paper, we compare the forecasting performance of several statistical models, which are used to describe the occurrence process of earthquakes in forecasting the short-term earthquake probabilities during the L'Aquila earthquake sequence in central Italy in 2009. These models include the Proximity to Past Earthquakes (PPE) model and two versions of the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence (ETAS) model. We used the information gains corresponding to the Poisson and binomial scores to evaluate the performance of these models. It is shown that both ETAS models work better than the PPE model. However, in comparing the two types of ETAS models, the one with the same fixed exponent coefficient (alpha) = 2.3 for both the productivity function and the scaling factor in the spatial response function (ETAS I), performs better in forecasting the active aftershock sequence than the model with different exponent coefficients (ETAS II), when the Poisson score is adopted. ETAS II performs better when a lower magnitude threshold of 2.0 and the binomial score are used. The reason is found to be that the catalog does not have an event of similar magnitude to the L'Aquila mainshock (Mw 6.3) in the training period (April 16, 2005 to March 15, 2009), and the (alpha)-value is underestimated, thus the forecast seismicity is underestimated when the productivity function is extrapolated to high magnitudes. We also investigate the effect of the inclusion of small events in forecasting larger events. These results suggest that the training catalog used for estimating the model parameters should include earthquakes of magnitudes similar to the mainshock when forecasting seismicity during an aftershock sequence.


The AquaRO50 is an essential, complete reverse osmosis system to protect and purify water for use in aquariums. Designed to produce a continuous supply of high quality water. The AQUARO is the perfect system for tank top-up applications.
Eliminates chlorine and organics: Excessive amounts of chlorine can be toxic to fish. Each system includes a granular activated carbon inline filter which removes both chlorine and organics.
Removes heavy metals: A Thin-Film RO membrane is included with each system that rejects up to 97.5% of dissolved salts – which includes heavy metals such as cadmium, zinc and mercury which can be detrimental to aquatic life.
Significantly reduces nitrates: Nitrates can prevent growth and reproduction in fish and high levels can be fatal.
Removes suspended solids: Particulate in water can clog the gills of fish and if consumed cause illness.


Wooden blinds are an elegant way to filter light. They have the efficiency, but a little more panache than regular aluminum blinds.
We also upholstered this bench, creating a cozy space to read a book or look out the window. When this homeowner wants some privacy or doesn't want the light to shine in, all they have to do is close the louvers.
