As a new Principal to Hepburn Primary School at the end of 2015, there were characteristics that were immediately tangible. The sense of inclusiveness and student connectedness were palatable. More so than any other school context I had experienced.
It is common to see a game in full swing that includes children from all year levels participating actively. The children have amazing grounds to learn and play in. Making cubbies and digging in the dirt are all part of the recreation at recess and lunchtime.
In the past 18 months, the school has increased from 56 enrolments to 90. This has meant we have been able to provide students with the opportunities of a larger school, but remain small enough to maintain connection on an individual level.
Due to our dedicated and talented staff, the students have access to specialist programs in music, art, drama, physical education, library, Italian and MiniLit and MultiLit (specialist reading tutoring programs). Programs recently implemented such as Cook in a Box, Move Dream Create, Robotics and private music tuition have enhanced engagement and have allowed students to flourish in a variety of curriculum areas.
The children have access to 26 leased touchscreen netbooks, ensuring a blended and engaging learning environment.
All staff recently completed inclusive education training eLearning modules. The Inclusion Boost provided by the Government was utilised to purchase 10 iPads to support student learning.
The children have an extensive camping program. Camping opportunities include Canberra Camp, Camp Wyuna, The Sovereign Hill Experience and the Lady Northcote camp.
Hepburn Primary School recently joined the Wathaurung Sport Cluster. This enables children access athletics, cross-country, tennis, basketball, soccer, netball, football and swimming competitions and the opportunity to progress to higher levels.
The Daylesford Out of Hours Care utilises our facilities. Running their after-hours school care and holiday programs from our site.
The above strengths and programs have been reflected in the 2018 Attitudes to School Survey, an annual student survey offered by the Department of Education and Training to assist schools in gaining an understanding of students’ perceptions and experience of school in Years 4, 5 and 6.
Over the past three years, significant resourcing provided by Equity funding, has resulted in staff having access to world renowned educational consultants. Teachers have the greatest impact at school and are the school’s greatest resource, so we invest in their development. The school provides a comprehensive curriculum across all learning areas, underpinned by literacy and numeracy. Significant investment in the area of Excellence in Teaching and Learning ensures evidence based pedagogical approaches. Educational consultants Andrea Hillbrick, Anne Hammond and Jan McVitty are utilised to ensure we achieve this.
2018 NAPLAN results also validated this strategic intent. In Years 3 and 5 reading, we are at the state level and above similar schools and schools in our network for certain measures in reading. The Year 3s were at or above the state and above similar schools and schools in our network for reading, mathematics and grammar and punctuation.
This is a result of the efforts of the dedicated staff and our strategic focus of excellence in teaching and learning, supported by educational consultants Anne Hammond and Andrea Hillbrick.
Hepburn Primary School has established transition programs with the local kindergarten and secondary school. The reading and play based transition program between the local kindergarten and the Year 5/6 children is an extremely rewarding for all involved. The local secondary school provides many opportunities each term for the Year 5/6 children to attend whole day activities.
• positive school and classroom learning environments as platforms for improved engagement, wellbeing and learning outcomes for all students.
Hepburn Primary School continues promotes the recently determined values of Respect, Perseverance and Kindness. These values are incorporated into learning programs, which develop the children’s’ social skills. The School Chaplain plays a vital role in coordinating this work.
Staff, students, parents and the community are extremely proud of the school and we look to the future with anticipation and expectation of growth in all aspects.

The actual date is contentious, but the Walkers Brothers did bid adieu to fans in May 1967. Scott Walker (born Noel Scott Engel in Ohio on the 9th January 1944), John Walker (b. John Maus, New York, 12 Nov. 1943) and Gary Walker (b. Gary Leeds, 3. Sept 1944 in Glendale, CA). Leeds – an ex-memebr of The Standells, met Engel (former bassist of Routers) and Maus while they were performing with The Dalton Brothers. The three formed the Walker Brothers and after a dodgy start in the US, they moved to England where they were taken under the wing of manager Maurice King. Maus had debuted as lead vocalist with Pretty Girls Everywhere, but it was Scott Engel’s voice – that can still melt bricks in my opinion, which shot them in the top 20 with Love Her in May 1965.
Right place, right time, helped the Walker Brothers fill Phil Spectres Righteous Brothers shoes as they had enjoyed the success and were now starting to fall in the UK charts. Hits like ‘Make It Easy On Yourself’, ‘The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore‘ followed, but friction in the Walker camp between Maus and Engel was starting to smoke – and the second solo EP ‘Solo Scott, Solo John’ in 1967 signalled their intentions to split. Their flirt with fame as a trio turned to tragic love affair . They attempted to weaken their decline between 1965 and ’67 with tracks like ‘You Don’t Have To Tell Me‘, ‘Another Tear‘, ‘Stay With Me Baby‘ and the film theme tune from’ Deadlier Tan The Male‘ – a James Bond spin-off with a great title, 1967. And the final nail in the coffin came with the farewell song ‘Walking In The Rain‘ – with a diluted review from Musical Express, titled; ‘Walkers Last Not Great’.
Gary Leeds went on to form his own group, Gary Walker and The Rain, in the autumn of 1967. Maus went onto a solo career and wrote songs like ‘Annabella‘ with Graham Nash that received chart success. Scott Engel started taking another route – partying antics with play boy bunnys lead to the music of Jacque Brel and Engel was hooked. He covered 3 songs by Brel, including Jacky, on his first solo album ‘Scott’.
Well, you can’t keep a good man band down and the Walkers walked back on the scene in 1975 with their comeback album ‘No Regrets‘. The follow-up ‘Lines‘ was similar to it’s predecessor but their Swansong Album ‘Nite Flights‘ took on a brave experimental flavour, one which would become better known in Scott Engels future solo work.
Walker Brothers Discography: Take It Easy With The Walker Brothers (1965), Portrait (1966), Images (1967), No Regrets (1975), Lines (1977), Nite Flights (1978), The Walkers Brothers In Japan (1987, rec. 1968). Compilations: After The Lights Go Out- Best Of 1965-1967 (1990), No Regrets – The Best Of The Walker Brothers (1991).
This is just my small way of paying respects to a band I loved as a teenager – born the year they split I can only commemorate a past I’d like to have witnessed. I’ve made a playlist of the tracks I love of theirs, and a couple of others from artists whole played a role in the Walker Brothers lives and vice versa. The Old Man is Back Again has been left out (see post Track of the Day, 27.03.13 ). David Bowie covers My Death (Scott Walker) in 1973. Tom Rush’s original version of ‘No Regrets‘ takes on a lighter, resignated sadness to the high drama of the Walker Brothers. Engel suffered from chronic nightmares which influenced a lot of his solo work. Rawhide could be one them? The Electrician – a political epitaph, written about N. America sending people to train torture in South America. Neko Case covers Engels ‘Duchess‘ in 1997, originally rec. 1969.

Since W. B. Gallie introduced the notion of essentially contested concepts (ECCs) in 1956, social science scholars have increasingly used his framework to analyze key concepts drawing “endless disputes” from contestant users. Despite its merits, the ECC framework has been limited by a neglect of social, cultural, and political contexts, the invisibility of actors, and its ahistorical character. To understand how ECCs evolve and change over time, I use a conceptual history approach to study the concept of philanthropy, recently labeled as an ECC. Using France during classical modernity as a case study, I analyze key events and actors from the concept’s inception in 1712 as a virtue of the Enlightenment to its triumph after 1789 as a secular alternative to Catholic charity, until its decline at the end of the nineteenth century as a new consensus emerged around the concept of solidarity. By introducing the notion of historically contested concepts, I make several contributions to research on ECCs, conceptual contestation, and conceptual change.

Drake Women’s Tennis started Missouri Valley Conference play off on the wrong foot last week.
The Bulldogs lost 3-4 to the University of Northern Iowa on April 1 in Cedar Falls.
UNI hadn’t beaten Drake since April 3, 2011, an eight-match losing streak that ended on Saturday.
It started off well for the Bulldogs. They won all three doubles matches, including a narrow 7-5 finish for senior Tess Herder and sophomore Kenya Williams on the first court.
But then they lost in singles, both in three sets.
Junior Mela Jaglarz and freshman Alex Kozlowski lost in two sets each, giving UNI the four points needed for the win.
Sophomore Joely Lomas and junior Summer Brills still battled to victory for Drake’s second and third points.
On the first court, Brills lost the first set but bounced back with a pair of 6-2 set victories. She improved her team-best record to 9-2 with the victory, her fifth straight.
Not far behind is Lomas. The win against UNI — a three-setter that featured two tiebreakers — was her eighth of the season.
She’s only lost twice in 2017. The last time was on March 10.
The Bulldogs’ record is 8-6. They’ve won six consecutive home matches, but are scheduled to face the Wichita State University Shockers on April 8. The Bulldogs haven’t beaten Wichita State in more than a decade, nor has any other Missouri Valley Conference team.
Still, the Shockers aren’t in as good of form as they’ve been in the last few years. They’re only 10-7, their worst record at this point in the season since 2013.
The Bulldogs will also host Missouri State University on April 9.

The chaos that the shortage of qualified Primary-Care Physicians is causing in the United States is glaringly obvious. It does not help that more and more family doctors announce they are giving up their practice in favor of becoming private doctors, taking cash-only patients while others decide to sell their practices to hospitals.
In 2012, the New York Times reported that America was short almost 9,000 Primary-Care Physicians. That number is expected to have gone up drastically since then as more are being let go or choosing to let go voluntarily. This shortage is expected to grow even more acute in the next 15 years, with a projected shortfall of an estimated 65,000 doctors. These are family doctors, general internists, general pediatricians and geriatricians – the doctors who diagnose new illnesses, manage chronic ones, advocate preventive care and protect wellness.
Take a look at some of the most compelling reasons why choosing to become a primary care physician in the US today is an excellent idea.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, the demand for family physicians in the USA is expected to exceed the supply by the year 2020. In such a scenario, the demand for primary-care physicians is expected to grow exponentially as the shortage worsens. This means you are never going to be out of a job for a long time to come.
For a long time, one of the main reasons why this specialty was often featured last on the list of most preferred fields for med students was the low wages associated with it. A lot has changed in recent years though. According to a report published by a reputed medical magazine lately, the average earnings for primary-care physicians shot up by about 5.2%, which is a faster rise than those of other specialists.
Moreover, primary-care physicians working in underserved regions enjoy handsome tax benefit incentives with Medicare currently providing a 10 % bonus payment.
In the past, many people would only go to hospital emergency rooms when they got sick instead of seeing a regular doctor. All of this is expected to change as of January 1, 2014 when the Obamacare insurance plans or the Affordable Care Act comes into effect and the newly insured start seeking care. Many authorities project that the growing patient demand for services could cause the health care system to crash. The newly insured will all need Primary-Care Providers.
The practice of primary care medicine is not easy. In fact, it is often characterized as one of the most challenging careers within the field of medicine. Despite this, the immense personal satisfaction and pleasure that is derived from successful patient care is what often drives future PCPs into the field.

With the economic clouds darkening AeroPerú returned its two Tristars and instead acquired three ex-Alitalia Douglas DC-8-62s. These would form the long haul fleet into the 1990s along with an ex-Swissair DC-8-62 and an ex-United DC-8-52 added in 1982 and 1983 respectively. Nevertheless even with the new DC-8s arriving two of the three US routes (Los Angeles and New York) were dropped leaving Miami as the only US gateway.
In July 1981 AeroPerú was largely privatised (the govt kept only a 20% share) and a merger was mooted with its private rival Faucett Perú. This got as far as the airline's dropping competing routes but eventually came to nothing and the routes were restarted. The expiry of the bilateral agreement between Peru and the USA in 1983 and the resulting failure to negotiate a new one, led to the suspension of all US routes for a year from May 1984 and considering this was the flagship route the financial repercussions must have been quite serious.
The 1980s were not kind to Peru. When the military government allowed elections in 1980 it also had the unintended consequence of unleashing the Maoist political group Shining Path, which began a guerilla war, funded by the proceeds of drug cultivation. The conflict quickly escalated, when the military intervened, into a full blown civil war with atrocities on both sides. This wasn't the nation's only problems as economic mismanagement along with a powerful El Nino in 1982/83 combined to cause both flooding, drought and rampant inflation.
By June 1985 AeroPerú's active fleet consisted of 3 F28, 3 727-100, 1 DC-8-52 and 4 DC-8-62. Considering the 1973 build F28s were the newest aircraft in the fleet it is clear money was in short supply. The only new addition to the fleet during the second half of the 1980s was a 5th DC-8-62, which replaced the remaining DC-8-52. This aircraft, which became OB-R1323, was a 1968 build ex-Japan Air Lines aircraft. Unfortunately the overall fleet size did not increase as on October 25, 1988 one of the trusty F28s (OB-R-1020) was destroyed when she failed to get properly airborne from Juliaca and crashed a few kilometres beyond the runway. Twelve of the 69 passengers were killed.
The Peruvian economy continued to suffer between 1985 and 1990 with several changes of currency due to the frequent bouts of hyperinflation. The nation's GDP dropped by 20% and the per capita annual income of Peruvians fell to a lower level than in 1960. Unsurprisingly even at the best of times a government led national carrier from a relatively poor nation would struggle to be profitable but given the economic and political turmoil of Peru at the time it was effectively impossible for AeroPerú to make money, especially when it competed against relatively rich and well run US carriers on the all important Lima-Miami route.
The best AeroPerú could do was lease old aircraft, although it did acquire its largest aircraft since the Tristars in the form of an ex-SAS DC-8-63 in early 1990. This aircraft looks like it introduced a new livery. Gone were the cheatlines replaced by a business like but still attractive red bellied scheme. This was gradually applied to the DC-8-62s even as they neared the end of their careers with the airline. By now the DC-8-62s, all of late 1960s vintage, were well beyond their prime as passenger airliners and AeroPerú had acquired a reputation for poor service and reliability. AeroPerú needed new equipment and for that it either needed to pool its resources or get new investment. It would try both approaches as we'll see in part 3.
I loved reading your blogs specially about Peruvian airlines (Aeroperu and Faucett) my dad worked for both this airlines back in the late 80's early 90's.
Did you write part3? I really will like to read it.
I read it before but i didn’t realized that it was the 3rd part.

LifeLinks – The Arc of Alameda County’s golf program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities – isn’t really about teaching golf. It’s about exercise, improving balance and hand/eye coordination, and teaching the values of golf -such as honesty, integrity, perseverance.
It’s also about inclusion. Our golfers spend at least 2 hours a week at a local driving range. To be sure they are in their own group but our golfers are within sight of non-disabled golfers and share in the misery everyone encounters when trying to improve their golf games.
Even with that commonality, however, there was something separating our golfers from the others. Golf shoes. Golfers have golf shoes with (now) plastic spikes on the soles to improve traction and stability. Our folks had sneakers. Thanks to the generosity of golfers (the ones with the shoes) at our Bogey Bash golf event in May, we were able to afford to buy shoes and give them to our golfer-clients.
If you feel like a golfer and look like a golfer, you’ll play like a golfer. That’s what they say, anyway. If they looks on the faces of our folks are any indication, one of them will be competing in the Masters next year.
The Arc of Alameda County, a leading provider of life skills and vocational training for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announced today that it will provide 22 of its clients with golf shoes at a ceremony at Monarch Bay Golf Course on Wednesday, June 21, 2017. The clients are part of The Arc’s 5-year old “LifeLinks” golf program.
Ron Luter, President and CEO of The Arc of Alameda County, is proud of the LifeLinks program he created, which teaches balance, focus, and etiquette in addition to golf, but something always bugged him.
In addition, The Arc’s annual client golf outing had to be postponed four times this year because of rain. “We postponed two of the rounds, not because it was raining at that moment, but because the overnight rain made it too slippery for often-unsteady clients to walk around the golf course in sneakers,” said Richard Fitzmaurice, Director of Public Information at The Arc.
At a recent fundraiser, Luter conducted a separate mini-campaign to raise money to purchase golf shoes.
Golfers will be fitted on June 21, 2017 starting at 10 a.m. on the patio at the Marina Golf Course at Monarch Bay Golf Complex in San Leandro. Volunteer coaches from the LifeLinks program will assist. Then the golfers will use the nearby putting green as a kind of runway to show off their new shoes, line up for photos and attempt a 44-foot putt.
The Arc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency serving some 400 clients at three campuses in Alameda County; San Leandro, Hayward, and Dublin. Clients are people with intellectual and developmental disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, and Down Syndrome. It was founded in the early 1950s when parents rebelled at the advice to send their children to state hospitals and began lobbying for services close to home. The Arc serves mostly adults but has a preschool program for children with developmental delays.

It was a first for the Kingdom of Morocco, Arianespace's launch of MOHAMMED VI-A, a satellite that will be used primarily for Earth Observation for mapping and land surveying activities, regional development, agricultural monitoring, the prevention and management of natural disasters, monitoring changes in the environment and desertification.
The satellite was developed by the consortium comprising Thales Alenia Space as system prime contractor and Airbus as co-prime. The launch took place on Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at 10:42:31 p.m. (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG), Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana (South America).
With this 11th success for Vega since 2012, Arianespace continues to demonstrate the reliability of its light launcher and adaptation to the needs of institutional and commercial customers.
Arianespace is a key player in the Earth observation market, that represents 10 percent of the satellites already launched by the company, and 30 percent of the order book (in number of contracts).
Shortly after the announcement of the orbital injection of the MOHAMMED VI-A satellite, Arianespace Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Israël said, “On the occasion of this 11th consecutive success of the Vega launcher since its introduction at the Guiana Space Center, Arianespace is very proud to serve the Kingdom of Morocco for the first time. We are honored by Morocco's confidence in the launching of the iconic satellite MOHAMMED VI-A dedicated for Earth observation. Congratulations to Thales Alenia Space, system prime contractor and to Airbus, co-prime of the satellite. Both are long-standing partners.

Our balance in group dynamic through absence of addictive substances, ego and greed has been called an inspiration that many will apply further down the road of life.
We strongly believe that in our universe travelers benefit from "carrying" other people and being carried by their peers; our volunteers come from all over the globe and this international mix has proven to be educational for everyone; creative sparks tend to fly when two worlds collide. We have created an atmosphere where a change in paradigm away from so called Western values makes more sense - core members of the farm have run businesses or held down straight jobs, we believe this is a tremendous opportunity to sample the best of both worlds and learn how to go back home with extra luggage.
We are a flexible community around 15.000m² permaculture garden feeding very many. We also give courses and have the opportunity to come for an internship from 3-6-9-12 months. During that internship we teach on a daily base the principles of permaculture and the way we live them. We do not sell but we give away our produce. Free contributions in a « magic hat » bring in the little necessary money. Vegetarian (not always) meals, sleeping places in caravans, yurts, attic rooms, no meetings, rules kept to a minimum, no sexism, violence, drugs or alcohol please. We are linked to transition town movements, free restaurants, spiritual centers. Creative workshops(dance, yoga, meditation,...) are given by anyone wanting to do one.

■ MADAGASCAR: Nosy-Be runway extension Phase 1 complete; now A340s and B777s can land.
The first phase of renovation works at Nosy Be's Fascene Airport, a leading tourist destination on the island of Madagascar, has been completed. While it is still subject to regulatory approvals, the airport, in addition to its newly lengthened runway, can now accommodate large aircraft such as the A340 or B777. A second phase of work in the long term should see it capable of handling the A380, authorities claim.

Anyone who has been closely involved in designing and building high-performance trading applications within the last ten years or so, will no doubt be familiar with the principles of asynchronous, concurrent, distributed programming, and the need for incorporating scalability and fault tolerance into their designs. Such principles form the basis of reactive applications and reactive frameworks, and successful trading systems have always needed to follow this approach in order to be able to rapidly react to events, react to load, react to errors or failures, and react to users.
It is these four principles of system design – event-driven processing, scalability, resilience and responsiveness – that are at the core of The Reactive Manifesto, a document authored last year by an eminent group of technologists, including Jonas Bonér, Erik Meijer, Martin Odersky, Greg Young, Martin Thompson, Roland Kuhn, James Ward and Guillaume Bort.
The principles outlined in The Reactive Manifesto are of course not new. They have been used in a number of industries dealing with low latency, high throughput applications for some time. In fact, the Erlang programming language developed by Ericsson in the mid-1980’s was specifically designed to be event-driven, scalable and resilient.
So why is there a need for a new manifesto to describe these traits? Jonas Bonér, CTO of Typesafe, inventor of the Akka framework and the driving force behind the Reactive Manifesto, explains.
“Even though these are old principles, the need for the manifesto is there”, he says.
“We live in a world now that requires this approach for almost any application, particularly if it is to be put up on the Internet; if it needs to drive mobile devices; if it is to make the most of multiple processing cores; or if it needs to fit cloud computing infrastructures. The need to go reactive is even greater when the application needs to provide sub-second (or even sub-millisecond!) response times.
“But there is no single tool or single language that will do all of the jobs”, continues Bonér.
“At least not in a moderately complex or advanced application. As a result, a lot of sub communities have built up around certain tools and languages and they’ve developed their own strategies for dealing with specific challenges. We wanted to look at the whole landscape across all of these communities to see how people are really solving these problems, to try to distil the core principles behind all of these languages, features, tools and frameworks. That’s how we ended up with these four key traits of The Reactive Manifesto: event-driven, scalable, responsive and resilient. And the important point is that you can build reactive applications in any language, using almost any tool. It’s more about adhering to the core principles and thinking about application design and application architecture”, says Bonér.
But how does it apply specifically to the financial markets? Independent consultant and serial entrepreneur Greg Young, who coined the term “CQRS" (Command Query Responsibility Segregation), and has a background in designing and building gambling and algorithmic trading systems based around reactive principles, throws some light on this.
“What’s interesting to me about The Reactive Manifesto in the finance space is that most people who’ve been building trading applications would look at it and see it as being self-apparent, because they’ve been doing things this way for decades”, says Young.
“Taking The Reactive Manifesto and bringing it to algorithmic traders is preaching to the converted. But there are a lot of other systems in financial organisations that absolutely need to realise what we’re talking about when we talk about reactive. I’d be willing to bet that in any financial institution the accounting and the back office systems are not written in a reactive style, even though they should be”.
How can more mainstream applications in banks and finance houses benefit from the reactive approach?
“In any financial organisation, everything can be seen as a series of facts that happen at points in time. Regardless of whether it’s a trade occurring, a position being cleared or a settlement failing, all of those things are facts that are happening at points in time. And they all fit very well into the reactive model”.
“With back office settlements for example, you could have a bunch of events that sit in a batch-processed queue. And if you look at a large batch operation in the back office of a bank, adjusting that process for near real-time is inherently more complex than writing a stored procedure that gets run on a scheduler at midnight.
“But in order to completely re-design some of these applications, and to move from a synchronous approach to an asynchronous, parallelized-type design, you need what I would call higher-minded developers”, says Young.
“And then you will start finding all the same benefits of why people are building trading systems this way. How much cooler would it be if you could actually trigger operations in near real-time as opposed to having users running reports at the end of the day and looking for discrepancies? Particularly in areas like risk and compliance, especially counterparty risk”.
Jan MacháÄek, CTO of Cake Solutions, an enterprise software solutions provider that specialises in reactive application design, explains that it is not just the wholesale and investment banking sector that can benefit from The Reactive Manifesto approach, there are many advantages to be gained in retail banking too.
“Reactive applications play a significant role in retail banking, particularly in mobile”, he says.
“The customers expect information delivered to their mobiles quickly & reliably. Whenever a mobile banking or mobile payment system fails, the damage to the bank's brand can be far-reaching. And so, the systems that drive these front-line applications have to follow the reactive principles.
“The pressure to adopt the reactive programming style grows even bigger when one considers the possibilities and challenges of new currencies and new patterns of customer expectations”, continues MacháÄek.
“The underlining principle is again responsiveness & reliability for the consumers, which means these systems need to be scalable and event-driven.
“Understanding and applying The Reactive Manifesto to retail applications allows the banks to offer new and innovative services, particularly in the AML and KYC arenas. Identifying and knowing your customer needs to be seamless: no one wants to type passwords and memorable words on the go, and yet the banks need to be certain that the customer’s money is safe. One can think of these challenges as events—pieces of a puzzle—that must fit together perfectly; these events must be processed in a timely manner by a system that is resilient and that can scale up and down to cope with the demand”.
So what are the key challenges to wider adoption of The Reactive Manifesto principles across the financial industry?
High-performance & low-latency computing specialist Martin Thompson, who designed the Disruptor open-source concurrent programming framework and is another co-author of The Reactive Manifesto, shares his insight on this topic.
“There is an obsession in our industry with synchronous design, which fundamentally limits so much of what we do”, says Thompson.
“But getting people out of that is an interesting and very tricky challenge, because it becomes so instilled and indoctrinated in people. Synchronous designs tend to be quite quick to get the first iteration of something up, but then they don’t cope and they don’t scale beyond that point. For example, if you get error conditions, synchronous designs tend to get a lot messier in the code, and then the code gets more coupled, it gets more complex as you deal with error conditions and side effects. As you scale up the development cycle, things gets slower and slower, from both the delivery and the system performance perspective. Whereas with asynchronous system design, you start off with it being a bit harder because you’ve got a few more things to contend with initially, but once you’re over the initial curve, you get a nice decoupled design, you’ve got the ability to handle failure and the discipline that comes behind it. Once you’ve got the basic fundamental building blocks in place, your delivery cycles get faster and you can deal with failure and with performance issues better. But there’s a greater activation energy needed to begin with”, he says.
“It’s like many things. We seem to live in this instant gratification society, where people take the easy option to begin with, but it’s actually the harder option in the long term”.
Does that mean that the reactive approach applies to how you run your teams and manage your development projects as well as how you design your code? It certainly has interesting effects on it, according to Thompson. He refers to a theory known as Conway’s Law, developed by computer scientist Melvin Conway in the 1980’s, which states that any system takes on the shape of the organisation that built it.
“Whether you’re building systems in software, or building organisational systems to build that software, or building systems that interact with the business in some way, it’s all the same, you’ve got to look at the system holistically and work out how to make it more efficient and more effective in how it works”, he says.
“It’s interesting that the more mainstream development could benefit hugely from The Reactive Manifesto, but it’s almost not in their interest because they don’t have the extreme requirements that bring a lot of these issues to the surface, and they tend to employ developers who are driven by what looks good on their CV. And unfortunately as a result, with Conway’s law coming into effect, we get systems designed from CV-driven development”.
Bonér agrees with this analysis.
“With Conway’s Law, the application tends to take on the shape of the company’s organizational structure, so if you have a distributed team or a large team that’s split up, then you need to have really good protocols so that those components can talk to each other. And that’s also something that having truly reactive, event-driven applications enables”, says Bonér.
With over 4,000 signatories since it was published, The Reactive Manifesto is certainly building momentum and starting to gather a following. But where does it go from here?
“The Reactive Manifesto should be – and is – a living document”, says Bonér.
“We want it to evolve over time; we want people to contribute to it, and that’s why we have it on GitHub, where people can create pull requests. That’s already happening from other communities, like the Erlang people for example.
“The idea of having people sign the manifesto is to try to create a passionate community. By signing it and adding a ribbon to your website, you are showing that you actually take a stand, that you believe in this way of doing things and believe that this is the future, and that you seek change. The more people who are into it, the easier it is to create this movement. That’s how humans work, we want to gather around things, we want to feel that we have a higher purpose, and we like communities”, says Bonér.
From Martin Thompson’s perspective, The Reactive Manifesto is a starting point.
“I see this as a set of principles that starts a discussion about what’s important”, he says.
“People ask if this is just the latest fad, and that’s a fair question, so we need to look at how we educate people on this, so they start to realise what is important and why. I think this is going to be one of the challenges in describing something like The Reactive Manifesto, in that it has a lot of really important concepts in it and when you put them all together you can build very effective systems that are well-suited to the finance space.
“It’s interesting that the people who are very competent in financial technology, for example people who have built exchanges or trading systems dealing with high volume flow, they instinctively already get this because they’ve been through a lot of the battles. And the feedback I get from some of those people is that The Reactive Manifesto is a nice articulation of all of the important issues one faces when building those systems.
“But the subtlety of understanding as to why these things are important in a wider context is the next challenge”, concludes Thompson.

Handcrafted in our studio, each and every Gateway ring is truly unique. Your ring will be very similar to the one pictured (with one brass bar longer than the other), and with its own hammered texture. Slight differences are possible, as the Gateway ring is made to order, and yours will be crafted in our studio in your size.
The ring can be carefully adjusted to your liking the first wear, but we do not recommend that you “open and close” the ring for each wear. Doing so will weaken the metal, and increase the chances of breakage.

What happens when you discover that wholehearted has become hole-hearted?
Breezing along through the year with wholehearted as my guiding word has been relatively easy – much like I hoped it would be when I chose it.
However, knowing that God has intentions well beyond our imaginings, I knew in the back of my mind that eventually I would have to climb deeper into the word’s meaning.
Descending that ladder reveals a whole different perspective.
Parts of my heart that I thought were full were stuffed with “filler”…useless material that only fluffed things up for appearances sake.
A few holes were discovered, too; they were allowing the good stuff to merely pass through without staying permanently imbedded.
How did my heart get to this state? Aside from the mileage related to age, maybe its upkeep has been a bit neglected.
Time for a cardio tune-up, to say the least!
And where might I go for help with that?
…To God, of course…the original Repair Man. I can request that He do some diagnostics and give me the analysis of major issues.
Perhaps a transfusion of unconditional love is necessary – or just increasing the flow rate of gladness and joy would suffice.
Maybe a few minor excisions are indicated.
Cutting out some negativity and discouragement would make a definite improvement.
Or how about a procedure that would open up the valves that are clogged with whatever is keeping me from getting closer to God?
A word can have little meaning until it truly becomes a part of your heart.
Thank you for revealing how I can become more wholehearted. I consent to all recommended repairs, knowing full well that I will have to commit to make some changes too. I have full faith in you as my Care and Repair Provider.
These awarenesses have opened my eyes to your intentions, and I am grateful to know you always there, encouraging, guiding, loving.
You alone can make holes become whole.
And your all-knowing guidance is worth the wait.
Getting to read this makes me feel like I’m closer to you! Miss you and your big heart and big hugs tons.
Beautiful reflection, Toni. I, too, began my year in earnest with “blessing” and the end of day reflection on it has largely fallen by the wayside. Huh. Need some tune up FOR SURE. God, give me the DISCIPLINE and the strength to follow through! AMEN!

Thank you, Susan! May we both be BLESSED with the DISCIPLINE to continue to hear HIs voice. Missing you!!!

…its me, Frannie who last commented…!
Toni, it is brave and WISE of you to not just “sit” with your God-blessed word, but to actively engage with it, grow it, nurture it…..even when it causes you to say, ouch, and ulp!! Thank you for reminding me that I must do the same, because this honors God, who graciously gave us our word!
on August 21, 2014 at 4:03 pm | Reply beWARM.
Your thoughts are always so affirming, Betty! Bless you for your constant encouragement!
on August 22, 2014 at 8:58 am | Reply beWARM.
Thank heaven for those nudgings of the Holy Spirit, Jean! And I too have been reminded that I need to stop revisiting the past. Onward…and forward!!!
And then, the word becomes worth it’s weight, too. What a gift, to hear your voice, as you turn your word over and over, peel back layers, uncover another facet and dimension, and listen to His gentle leading as He heals, repairs, and makes you/us whole. Continuing to move forward, leaning in to Jesus. Sending you love, sweet beautiful whole-hearted friend.

No side handles adversity quite like the Bulldogs and they proved that once again in their 16-2 win in the Queen's Birthday clash against the Dragons on Monday.
Coming off a 38-0 loss to the Panthers last week that saw them drop to 14th spot on the Telstra Premiership ladder after 13 rounds, scrutiny on the Bulldogs was at an all-time high as they stared down the barrel of a fifth-straight defeat.
But media speculation is something the proud club thrives on, and while outside noise called for mass changes the players and coaching staff quietly went about their business to mastermind a game plan to slay the Dragons.
Things looked shaky in the first half as they failed to capitalise on a glut of early possession, but despite trailing 2-0 at the break they piled on three unanswered tries in the second stanza to close to within two points of the eighth-placed Panthers.
While his team was scrutinised from pillar to post, Bulldogs skipper James Graham couldn't understand why the same people who had tipped them to struggle in the pre-season were bagging them for their lowly ranking after 13 rounds.
"No one was more annoyed than what was in that playing group and the staff members as well," Graham said of his side's mindset following the Panthers loss.
"There wasn't really that much difference from week to week.
"I think a lot's been hyped up in the press. We've just tried to remain calm. You don't need to be Freud to work out that we weren't happy with how last week went.
"That (Monday's win) is more like us – that's more like the performances that internally we expect.
"From an external point of view, I think most of the pundits at the start of the year would have had us outside the top eight anyway so I don't know why they're complaining about where we are. It's exactly where most people tipped us to be, but internally we know we're better than tonight and we showed signs of that today."
There was one play that epitomised Canterbury's desire to preserve their try line with their left-edge defence coming up trumps to deny Nene Macdonald and Josh Dugan when they looked odds on to score in the first half.
"There was a play – I don't know who was involved – but there was a double try save on Macdonald. He tossed it back in and someone's come up again," Graham said.
"I was on the bench at the time and it was great to watch because it showed that our boys care about what we're trying to do. We were trying to replicate that same energy going into the second half.
"A couple of weeks ago against Cronulla and the Roosters, we found ourselves in a similar position to win the games but we haven't come away with it. I think we've learnt some lessons from that and we really hammered that home tonight. We learnt from that and we played really smart and came home with the win."
For Bulldogs coach Des Hasler, the win showed all the doubters what his side is capable of when they apply themselves for 80 minutes.
There are still a few areas that need to improve – namely their last-tackle kicking options – but Monday's win takes a lot of pressure off the Bulldogs heading into this week's bye.
"I never really doubted the ability of this team. Plenty have, but it was a good win today," Hasler said.
"I just think that we were a little bit tidier in all facets.

As we go through life, we change dramatically. Chances are you’re a very different person now than you were when you first left school. Your preferences and the things you like to do are different, your outlook on the world is different. This is great as it means we’re always learning, adapting and growing- but it means that the career path you chose for yourself in your younger years just might not suit you anymore. Maybe you’re unhappy in your role, feel as though you have achieved everything or just want a change of direction. There are lots of reasons why people choose to make the switch later in life, and the good thing is, it’s completely possible to do so.
There are laws in place that prevent workers from being discriminated against purely because of their age. However in reality it’s a lot less clear cut, and millions of people have and will continue to be turned away or forced out of work simply because of how old they are. When you first started out in your career this is something you wouldn’t have had to think about, however making a change later in life it’s worth being aware of. If you believe you have been discriminated against due to your age, a lawyer such as https://www.warriorsforjustice.com/ would be able to advise you.
When changing careers, chances are you will be moving to a well-paid position to a much lower paid one since you will be starting from scratch. Many people are fine with taking a cut in money if it means working in a career they’re much more passionate about and happy doing. But have a think about the money and make sure it will work for you. Will you still be able to afford to pay everything you need to pay? You might need to make a few lifestyle changes to adapt, especially in the beginning. The good thing is, changing careers later in life means you will probably move up the ladder more quickly than you did the first time round. Years of work experience all counts for something, even if it’s not directly linked to the new role. You know how to show up, work hard and fight your way to the top as you’ve already done it once.
This article has lots of insights. You’re right, as we go through life we might find our selves looking for what we can do more.

Operation: Anchorage is the first add-on for Fallout 3. With the unmatched atmosphere, action, and more choices than a Nevada brothel, the game has sucked hundreds of hours from everyone who’s played it. And how does a developer expand on such a captivating universe? Downloadable content of course!
In the first of 3 planned expansions for Bethesda’s already-massive title, Operation: Anchorage is priced at 10 dollars on the Xbox Live Marketplace and runs anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending on how deep you dive into it. It contains three missions, “Aiding the Outcasts”, “Paving the Way”, and “Operation: Anchorage”, culminating in a boss battle.
First of all, if you’re wondering precisely how you get from Washington, D.C.’s bombed out ruins to Alaska, you don’t. After downloading and spending a few minutes outside in-game, your character receives a radio signal calling all personnel to Bailey’s Crossroads. This place is an absolute pain to find, particularly in finding a certain metro system.
However, once you find the outcast outpost and aid the outcasts from the Brotherhood of Steel in repelling super mutants, you are invited into their underground lair, which looks surprisingly modern for Fallout.
It is soon revealed that the outcasts have been looking for someone to run a simulation of the liberation of Alaska from Communist Chinese forces in order to unlock an armory containing untold riches from that time period. Fret not, loot whores; despite the fact that you can’t pick up loot in the simulation, you do get generously compensated at the end.
As soon as you lie down in the very cliché simulation pod, you are thrown into a world that is more an FPS than anything else. Along with an AI companion, Sgt. Benjamin Montgomery, you are set on a relatively linear path. While the opening sequence allows for some stealth, your later objectives forego this option almost entirely. The player receives his or her missions from a Field HQ in Anchorage, and from there is sent on a series of objectives.
The first mission requires you to plant explosives on 3 artillery guns hindering the American forces. This cliffside mission displays Fallout’s gorgeous graphics. You won’t know whether or not to kill the enemy or gaze upon the vistas spread out before you. But there ARE plenty of enemies to kill. If you’ve played at least some quests from before the expansion, you’ll have no trouble racking up that “Doesn’t Play Well With Others” achievement.
In this first mission, you get to truly see how the gameplay mechanics have changed for the expansion. In lieu of salvaging ammo and stimpaks from enemies, the enemies disappear in a very sci-fi manner, leaving you to collect health and ammo from dispensers that are placed in convenient and balanced places around the world. These never run out, so lower-level players can have a crutch to lean on.
The quests are exciting and full of action, but you won’t feel as if you’re contributing to your own cause while you trek through the cold Alaskan frontier. Rescuing prisoners and forming a squad using arbitrary recruitment markers doesn’t carry much weight.
This could be a problem of motivation for some, but for those who persevere, lots of rewards await. The end boss of this chapter is blown a bit out of proportion health-wise, but once you unlock the vault you will definitely feel like you deserve a pat on the back. Take that Gauss Rifle and blow heads off with pride!
FUN FACTOR - The absence of loot and true purpose hurts a bit, especially for Fallout, but running amok in a Fallout FPS is an enjoyable departure from the norm.
GRAPHICS - Fallout 3 remains stunning, though still in the shadow of it's PC counterpart.
SOUND - Still some of the best sound around, and the artillery cannons are truly epic.
SINGLE PLAYER - It seems like Fallout 3 will remain the king of single player RPGs for the forseeable future.
CONTROLS - Controls are still as solid as ever.
The game consists a lot of fun moments and revealing great rewards for all those patient gamers.
That was crazy map to play… brainless shooting. So much fun.

Even the most experienced travelers make mistakes when traveling. If you want your first big overseas trip to be memorable for the right reasons by avoiding the most common rookie travel mistakes all travelers do, keep reading. I hope you will be able to learn from some of the mistakes I’ve done in the past.
Most of the rookie travelers think that having a valid passport is enough for traveling abroad. Although, that is true in most of the cases, there are some exceptions. Some countries, including China and Russia, have regulations that require your passport to be valid at least 6 months after the date of your return flight. Also, there are more than 20 countries in Europe that have the same rule for 3 months. And if your passport is still valid, but expiring within this time window, you might unnecessarily complicate your trip.
This happens with most solo travelers that go abroad for the first time. They want to book every part of their trip: every hostel, every meal, every transfer… It sounds good in practice, but after you start your trips you see that you have to sacrifice a lot of your flexibility. I would only book the big things and make myself as flexible as possible. The journey is unpredictable and you should leave enough buffer time.
First time travelers are usually easy to spot. They don’t really interact with locals, closely guarding their possessions, with suspicious faces. It’s hard to distinguish the friendly locals from the scammers. The vast majority of locals aren’t out to get you. And if you have the positive approach, you’ll end up making a lot of new friends. Read about 13 common scams in Southeast Asia.
This one can be a real nuisance. You can’t find a direct flight and you have to find a connecting flight, but there’s not enough buffer time between the two. You end up missing the flight, or sweating really hard, and almost missing the flight. The latter happened to me, despite already being a seasoned traveler.
Big cities will have multiple airports sometimes. One of those airports will be the main one, that charges higher fees from airlines and has a bit more expensive flights compared to the ones at the other airport. Well, what if I tell you that the first airport is probably better connected to the city, which is the case most of the time? Never book your flight ticket depending on the flight fare only. Research the transport options as well. The price for the two can actually end up being the same. You might spend all the money that you saved on the flight ticket for paying a cab to your hotel, when you could have used the much cheaper public transport at the other airport, for example.
I’ve seen a lot of people exchanging large amounts of money at the airport. That’s a terrible idea. Needless to say, everything including money exchange is more expensive at the airports and you’re practically getting ripped off. If you don’t have cash, try exchanging a small amount that should cover only the transportation to your hotel and withdraw from the ATM later.
It’s certainly not easy to plan an entire trip on your own, and it’s understandable that you want to feel safe in a foreign country by hiring a travel agent. I almost never use travel agents and that saves me a ton of money by looking after everything by myself.
I know this sounds a bit odd, but trust me it’s important to plan this properly. If you’re taking a long trip or you’re backpacking through a whole region, you will need to do your laundry at least a couple of times. That’s why you should make a rough estimate and plan where and when should you do your laundry. You might end up in a hotel that doesn’t do laundry and all of your clothes are dirty. In some cities, doing your laundry can be really expensive. Even worse, you might end up having to wait a couple of days if you leave your clothes. The last one happened to me in Kolkata and that postponed my entire trip.
Keep this in your mind: everything is going to cost more than you think it will. Starting from the flight tickets and their added costs, through commuting within the cities to the few extra beers you had that night in the bar. I noticed that I almost always spend double than what I initially planned to spend.
I know you want to buy something for your family friends and relatives, especially if it’s your first time abroad. But this increases the weight of your luggage and decreases your mobility. It can also cause you unwanted nuisances as I mentioned in the previous point. Plus, if you’re trying to cram too many things in your luggage some of them might break during the trip.
Most rookies are afraid of getting food poisoning so they eat the things that they eat at home, like pizzas, burgers or pasta. There are two reasons not to do this. The first one is that if this country has an exotic cuisine, burgers and pizzas aren’t part of their culture. Therefore, they are not used to making them, people don’t eat them that much, and the ingredients which they are using might not be fresh.
The local vendors that sell local food, on the other hand, have been preparing the local food for ages. They know how to do that and the ingredients will be fresh most of the time. So, it’s actually more likely to get a food poisoning from a local restaurant that’s making western dishes than a local restaurant. To add to that, the real taste of a foreign land comes through the stomach.
Don’t get me wrong, the guidebook can be helpful at times. But, the fact that the guidebook is filled with all the tourist spots, doesn’t mean that you will have the complete experience. There are so many amazing places filled with locals instead of tourists, so many amazing local dishes which aren’t mentioned there… You shouldn’t visit a country just to see its landmarks. Go out, speak with the locals, eat local food and get an idea of how things work over there. You’ll be surprised how much you can actually learn just by doing those things.
I know, it’s your first time visiting this country. Maybe you will never get the chance to visit again in your lifetime, so it’s normal that you want to see everything. Even if you think you’re fit and can walk all day and cover everything, this is slowly exhausting you. And that’s awful if you’re traveling for a longer time. And, when you’re tired, you don’t get to enjoy your trip. I know you won’t admit that even I was doing that as a rookie. But that’s true.
Instead of trying to see everything in a couple of days, slow down and get to know the country. This will increase your desire for a lifetime of similar adventures.
There are some amazing photoshopped pictures online. These pictures can give you an unreal image of a place and boost your expectations to a level that’s too high. And only after visiting that place you realize that the place doesn’t really look like the pictures and you get disappointed. A lot of inexperienced travelers are hyped up when visiting a place for the first time, only to get disappointed after they visit.
Totally agree with you on all of them! We made many of these mistakes at the start of our travels.
One I can add is: triple check the dates and times when booking stuff.
Yes, I have definitely done a couple of these before. The last two, I think I always do even though I try not to, haha.
I so agree with you even I did many of these mistakes. I also booked so many stuff early and got freaked with flexibility when I reached the place. I always plan to see everything when I go to a place, but gradually I learnt to be flexible and let few places go. I can always see them again next time.
We all occasionally do at least some of these but it’s true one will become a lot more flexible with time.
I loved reading this list! I know many people who do these mistakes. I’m guilty of them too sometimes. I mean, after a long haul flight, I do crave familiar fast food and I’m not ashamed to admit that either. Seems to help me recover and I have a little mission to eat that particular item in all countries I can. However, after that, it’s local snacks all the way. I also used to be concerned about talking with locals, just the whole don’t talk to strangers thing when growing up, but actually, I’ve started to do that more.
With this booking of everything, especially accommodation is true. I try not to do it, but sometimes I can not stop myself and I book a place because I can not imagine to come somewhere late and still look for a place to stay. However, I noticed that when we go without a booking we are able to find a better and cheaper accommodation.
I’m glad you realized that. Booking in advance is always more comfortable but like the article stated, most of the time, that’s a more expensive alternative.
I’ve been there but from the other side 🙂 I got deported from Russia. Mistakes are okay as long as we learn from them, I suppose.

Ted, Laddie and Chris Hall, owners of Napa Valley’s beautiful Long Meadow Ranch, live and work by four simple words: Excellence through responsible farming. This strict focus on stewardship, respect and balance has helped the Hall family develop quality wines, heritage olive oils, and some of the area’s best organic produce. Since first acquiring Long Meadow Ranch in 1989, the Halls have worked to not only revitalize the land through sustainable farming methods, but also to rediscover and celebrate its surprisingly rich history. In the process, they’ve turned their 700+ acre ranch into a top destination for delicious food and wine. We interviewed Ted Hall about about LMR’s history, current offerings and mission.
Long Meadow Ranch is much more than its name implies.
We produce and purvey our wines and food from three locations in the Napa Valley.
Our 650-acre historic Mayacamas Estate is located atop the Mayacamas Mountains above the Napa Valley. Here we produce award-winning red wines and handcrafted extra virgin olive oils, as well as grass-fed beef, eggs, and heirloom fruits and vegetables.
The 90-acre Rutherford Estate is located on the floor of the Napa Valley in the world famous Rutherford AVA, among some celebrated historic vineyards. There, we grow Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in 74 acres of vineyard. We also farm organic fruits and vegetables, keep honeybees and maintain an egg-laying poultry flock on the Rutherford Estate, which is also the site of our future state-of-the-art white wine production facility.
At Long Meadow Ranch, our three-acre destination location In St. Helena, we offer memorable wine & food experiences and educational opportunities through our tasting room in the historic Logan-Ives House and our restaurant, Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch. We also offer our fresh produce, grass-fed beef, and other LMR products at the Farmer’s Market at Long Meadow Ranch.
Your olive orchard in the Mayacamas Range is the oldest in the area, and a great reminder of California’s rich agricultural heritage. Can you share the story of how you first discovered, or rediscovered, it?
The orchards on our ranch were abandoned for years following prohibition, and were hidden by new forests that grew over the original sites. We were aware of a few olive trees when we acquired the first part of the ranch, but no one knew of the significant orchards that were hidden.
Following the purchase of an adjacent parcel in 1992, we discovered more than 250 mature olive trees that had been completely hidden from view. While clearing that second growth forest, 54 trees greater than 75 feet in height were removed. By counting the growth rings of those trees, we estimated that this orchard was last cultivated in about 1920.
The trees were planted in the 1870s by E.J. Church, the founding pioneer on our ranch, and the cuttings came around the Horn from southern Europe. We haven’t been to identify the cultivar (variety) despite numerous DNA tests, but believe it may have come from the south of France.
As additional parcels of the original land grant were re-assembled into Long Meadow Ranch, more trees were discovered. One orchard was found on horseback in 1993 and another was found nearby in dense brush in 1996. Today we have restored to production over 1000 trees with a heritage of at least 130 years.
The farm also raises roughly 350 Highland cattle. How did you select this heritage breed?
We now own the largest herd, or ‘fold’, of Highland cattle in California, and are building a herd with bloodlines that date to the earliest days in the British Isles, where cattle were first developed to produce beef and milk exclusively on a diet of grass. Thanks to these outstanding bloodlines our fold is also among the finest in America.
Highland beef is also considered by many to be the best in the world, and is even raised by the British royal family. In keeping with Long Meadow Ranch’s organic practices, our grass-fed beef is “all natural” – meaning it is chemical-free, hormone-free and free of any antibiotics.
We actually selected this breed based upon a recommendation from a friend who was raising Highlands in Australia. We liked the breed’s characteristics in terms of hardiness, maternal instincts, brush browsing, and even temperament – attributes which have been lost in modern cattle bred for feedlot beef production.
You’ve said previously that your decision to operate Long Meadow Ranch organically was based primarily in economics. What value, monetary or otherwise, do you see in raising produce and livestock this way?
Every farming practice we’ve adopted at Long Meadow Ranch is grounded in scientific principle first. We’ve just learned that organic farming methods produce higher quality produce at a lower cost with real consumer benefit. We hold a well-developed point of view about why it works.
How has integrating bio-diesel and a solar array improved your overall sustainability?
We actually operate three solar arrays, which help us offset the need to purchase electricity for our winery, restaurant, cold storage, offices and pumps. This has saved thousands of tons of CO2 emissions that otherwise would have occurred from the fossil fuels used to generate that same electricity.
Using bio-diesel has also eliminated a need for fossil fuels in our farming operations. Plus, bio-diesel is safer to our employees and reduces emissions. In fact, bio-diesel is biodegradable, which means that a spill on the ground does not create the toxic cleanup issues that would occur from using conventional diesel.
Has Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch had to adjust its menu at all to accommodate the current drought?
We adjust our menu daily based on the availability of produce from our gardens. The drought has had only a small impact on our menu because we can offset the lack of rain with irrigation. The drought has reduced the availability of fruits and nuts, but has had little impact on vegetable production.
Can you share an example of how you’ve successfully integrated modern science and time-honored farming techniques?
Farmers have long known that soil health, or tilth, is very important. Tilth is a traditional descriptor of soil that combines the properties of particle size, moisture content, degree of aeration, rate of water infiltration, and drainage into a single expression of quality. The look and feel of the soil in the hand was an important way of assessing tilth, and over the years farmers learned to discern differences in tilth by feeling, and even tasting, soil. Applying manures and composts, planting cover crops, tilling, and crop rotation were some traditional approaches for improving tilth, and we continue to use these methods.
However, today we know that soil health is also dependent on the level of microbial activity and the proper proportion of organic matter. We now test our soils to determine both the quantity and type of microbes and the percentage of organic matter to give us a more formal measure of fertility. We track these measures closely over time in addition to looking at tilth the old-fashioned way.
How are your various farm operations integrated?
In contrast to the monoculture that has evolved in the Napa Valley, Long Meadow Ranch uses an integrated farming system that relies on each part of the ranch contributing to the health of the whole. Vineyards and wine making, olive orchards and olive oil making, and cattle breeding all work together in complementary fashion (not to mention the egg-laying poultry flock and the organic vegetable gardens).
We also make our own fertilizers through an extensive composting operation that relies on organic material from each segment of the ranch. Soil erosion is controlled and new soils are built through the use of permanent cover crops made up of selected grasses, clovers and legumes.
You’ve referred to your agricultural process as “full-circle farming.” What does this entail, and how do you put it into practice?
The poultry flock and garden at LMR Rutherford Estate illustrate one of the central concepts of farming at Long Meadow Ranch, the notion of ‘integrated’ farming or beneficial, interrelated loops which we call full-circle farming.
We raise many varieties of rare heirloom tomatoes, and sell the best, most uniform fruit to fine restaurants. If they aren’t first quality, we’ll sell them at our Farmer’s Market at Long Meadow Ranch. Third-quality tomatoes are then sold to a great little drive-in restaurant where they’re made into gazpacho.
If the tomatoes aren’t good enough for that, they’ll be fed to our organic chickens. Because they eat fabulous tomatoes and veggies, the chickens then lay spectacular eggs with almost neon-like yolks. We then sell the eggs back to local restaurants!
When we’re done with the crop season, we put all the organic matter – old pumpkin vines, dead tomato plants – into a nearby compost pile, and use the chicken manure as the source of essential nitrogen. By spring the compost is ready to go back on the field as fertilizer and the cycle begins again.
How is Long Meadow Ranch working to protect and enhance its natural resources?
We are very committed to the preservation of agriculture in Napa County. We recently donated a conservation easement over an 11-acre prime agricultural parcel in Rutherford, and have laid the groundwork for continued agricultural use of this land. This easement restricts any future development of this property to purely agricultural uses, and ensures that this portion of the valley will remain uncluttered by new development. The site is a great location for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and it brings the total land under conservation easements created by our family to 395 acres.
How can guests and visitors experience Long Meadow Ranch for themselves?
Guests and visitors are welcome to join us at Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch Winery and the historic Logan-Ives House, home to our tasting room, General Store and vegetable gardens. We offer full-circle farming tours, wine and estate olive oil tastings, wine and food pairings and farm-to-table dining. Visitors can also check out our private ranch excursions, culinary education series or our summer concert series.

Welcome to my blog, today I'm sharing a love themed shaker card using some Pretty Pink Posh goodies! I've used the Penguin Pals stamp set to make a cute shaker card.....I love using my winter themed stamp sets for cards other than just Christmas and winter!
I used a scalloped heart die to create the shaker frame and I embellished both cards with PPP jewels - you can never have enough sparkle :) I used both of the new jewel sets - Valentine & Plum mixes.
*All products used in this video have been purchased by me and are products I love and enjoy using!
Hi Everyone, today I am back a love themed card, perfect for Valentines Day! I've had these cute little Cool Cat stamps by MFT for ages and I have finally got around to using them!
I don't have the co-ordinating dies for this stamp set so it is perfect for one layer cards and masking techniques!
I firstly cut and stamped out all the masks I needed on to Hunkydory masking paper - I like this masking paper because you stamp on one side and then remove the backing paper when you are ready to use your mask...not too fiddly!
I covered the wall background with a light layer of spun sugar distress ink and then used the Quilted Heart Background stamp from Simon Says stamp to stamp out the detail on the wall...I used spun sugar again for this giving a tone on tone background.
I used some more distress inks to shade the baseboards and carpet/flooring.
The images were coloured with my copic markers (colours listed below).
For my sentiment I used a 'love' scripty word die cut out several times from coloured cardstock with the top layer coloured with my copic markers for an ombre look.
I hope you liked this card! If you'd like to see how I made it with a video tutorial just click the image below!
Mermaid Shaker Card using stamps featuring Time for Tea Designs!
Happy Friday crafty friends! Today I'm super excited to be sharing this shaker card using Time for Tea Designs stamps and dies. I was thrilled to be contacted by owner, Joanna to see if I wanted to designs some cards using her stamps and here is my first creation!
For the background of my card I used some alcohol inks to create a watery ethereal background. The frame for my shaker was created using the rectangle die from the 'Best Fishes Banner and Border Dies' which I lightly inked with wilted violet distress ink.
I filled my shaker with a selection of sequins from my stash....I love using a variety of shapes and sizes in my shaker cards!
I used copic markers to colour my images and I'ved listed all of the shades I used down below!
For the foiled dots on the mermaids tail I used a quickie glue pen and left it to dry/go tacky for 5/10 mins. I then rubbed some rose gold foil over the top of the tacky dots which left behind small dots of foil and created a super shimmery effect...I love this technique!
Please join me again soon as I will have more cards featuring mermaid themes by Time for Tea Designs - be sure to find links to their products in the list below....go check the full range out NOW by clicking here!
Sequins - Gingerbread Sequin Mix - Lucy’s Little Things, plus others from my stash (which ive been collecting for over 10 years)!
Today I am sharing a grey and pink themed card...one of my favourite colour combinations!
I used my copic markers to colour the squirrel and envelope and used the same pink copics to make my own matching cardstock to die cut the hearts and banner. I love how co-ordinated it all looks.
Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today I'm sharing this super cute card which could be a Valentine's card but could also be used for anything depending on the sentiment you use. I've used a 'hugs & kisses' sentiment because I'm not too sure who this card will be sent to yet.
I love using nuvo glimmer paste especially the moonstone colour....I have a spare tub in my draw as I know I'll run out at some point this year!
I've used 'Tropical Leaves' stencil by Newtons Nook with these cute little monkey stamps by Mama Elephant, I think they pair well together. I made the inked up background back in the summer but hadn't got around to making a card with it.....with Valentine's Day approaching I thought it would be perfect to kick off some 'love' themed cards.
Happy New Year year everyone! I hope you all had a super festive season and are excited to start 2019 as much as I am. For my first card share of 2019 I am sharing these simple cards I created for my relatives who looked after us over Christmas! We were lucky enough not to have to do any cooking over Christmas so I wanted to make some thank you cards for our hosts!
All of the supplies I have used are listed below but if you'd like to see how I put them together then just check out my YouTube video below.

This may still seem puzzling to some economists and political scientists. While some of these initiatives make economic sense, what is the good of unilaterally self-imposed emissions limits if other regions don’t play ball? The answer to this question not only points the way to more effective action, but highlights a gaping hole in some people’s and institutions' understanding of climate change: it’s the right thing to do.
Any effective agreement that emerges from Paris will not have come out of a vacuum, but as a consequence of many individuals' and communities' agitation for change – some locally, some through the internet.

The elephant attacked the four persons - three women and a boy - when they were working in their sugarcane and paddy fields in villages under Kheroni area. The animal killed a woman and a 12-year-old boy at Bagidubi village, and two other women at Lomba Pathar and Jiribasa villages.
Here in the States, this issue shows up in rural areas in the West with 'villages' or homes too close to the forest or in the forest subject to high burn rates.... if you allow it, it will come. Simple.
gdpetti Comparing India to USA is not a good idea. In both cases it's religion and values, but they are very different. In USA the bloodthirsty people don't value other lives, even protected specimen would be killed. In India every life is sacred, even animal - at least according to the tradition and main religion. So in India a guy killing animals would be weird or outcast, while in USA a guy trying to protect such animal would be weird.
