I found this engaging from the start. It rolls out like the author is in front of you, telling the story. You can also make pages easily sharable (watch for a little phone symbol on the pages) to encourage quote distribution. The stories that work best are simple and slim, not super text-y.
I played around and created my Tapestry based on the article I wrote earlier this year.
I want to play with this more and see what I can do with the pacing of personal stories and experimental stuff. The editing tools are simple and so a bit limiting – which is good for avoiding over-styled stories. Still, my mind goes to something with a bit of the zoom and twist of Prezi combined with a simple, tap-able story.

The at night, the weather is cooler, your senses are heightened and Bangkok becomes fully alive with the smell and sounds of the street vendors.
A Taste of The Unique Flavors of Thailand
Our guide for the food tour in Bangkok at night was Expique, a Bangkok based company that focuses on local, off the beaten path experiences. The meeting point was Krung Thonburi BTS (train) Station at 6pm.
Here we met up with the rest of the group, a British couple, a young lady from Calgary and the two of us. A small and intimate group.
Simon, the founder of Expique and “Net”, our food tour guide for the night, welcomed us with a tasting of four flavors unique to Thailand – tamarind, mango, banana and ginger.
Appetizers The Thai Way
With our taste buds open, we made our way to Tha Din Daeng road for appetizers.
As we walked down the streets of Bangkok by night, Net, our guide would point out different dishes and tell us about them as well as how they are prepared.
In addition to being a food tour guide, Net also runs her own food stall where she sells soy-based products for breakfast. As a result, we got in-depth local information from a local street food vendor. You can’t beat that level of authenticity!
The Bangkok Night Tour Continues to the Flower Market
This was an unexpected and succulent introduction to the famous sweet chicken in Bangkok. This reminded us of the famous “Peruvian style chicken” though the flavors were quite different!
Royal Curries and Salads
One of the reasons the restaurant is famous is because the owner of the restaurant used to cook for the Thai Royal family.food is outstanding, and the best food we had on the tour.
After having indulged in so many delicious and iconic Thai dishes, a break from the food was welcomed!
We had visited Wat Pho during the day and to our surprise we discovered that we could come to Wat Pho at night as well and for free! Although we could not see the reclining Buddha, it was nice to walk around in a much quieter and peaceful environment.
Fried Noodles in the Phlap Phla Chai area of Bangkok
Sweet Treats in Chinatown to End The Bangkok Food Tour at Night
Rather than the popular mango sticky rice dessert, we had green mango with a sweet fish sauce with chili. This simple dessert is made up of slices of green mango and a spicy chili dipping sauce. As unexpected as that might sound, the flavors complement each other for a delicious sourness.
While it was tasty, it lacked in flavor as compared to the sesame dumpling or the spicy chili sauce with the green mangos.
We attended the November event and enjoyed hearing about Being a Thai Monk, Meditation in Thailand and more. Visit the RandomThainess Facebook Group for the schedule and details on upcoming events.
Special thanks to Expique!
Thanks Jennifer and we were thankful as well for no fried bugs. It was really an amazing and authentic food experience. That’s what we loved about Expique, real experiences rather than for “show.” The food was pretty tasty, even simple dishes like the chicken. Thanks for your comments, and when you are next in Bangkok, give Expique a try 🙂
This tour looks like an absolute blast! I’ve been to Bangkok before and I love all the street food, however, it’s overwhelming to know where to begin if traveling independently. The thought of having a guided tour on a tuk tuk and being taken to all the best places sounds too perfect. Adding this tour as a must-do the next time I’m in Bangkok. !
You are most welcome Heather. We highly recommend this tour for a fun experience in Bangkok at night. Ltop back and tell us what you think!! Cheers.
Thanks, Marlene. Indeed, you can’t beat the experience of getting a local guide to take you to places you would not find easily by yourself. We did end up learning quite a lot about the food and local culture. The food was not too spicy and you are free to adjust the “spice levels” of the dishes to your preference:) A great experience and highly recommended on your next trip to Bangkok!! Cheers
Wow, all of the food looks delicious. And there is so much of it. Might have to add this to my Thailand plans.
The grilled chicken looks especially good.
Food tours are so much fun, especially when they involve a tuk-tuk and seeing the sites by the night. Glad you enjoyed reading about the Expique experience. We appreciate your comments Carmen!!
Actually Mars, the experience with Expique was not overwhelma lot of food, so one needs to come hungry 🙂 The tuk-tuk adventure was so much fun. It was cooler, making it a very comfortable as well. Give Expique a shot on your next trip to Bangkok. Cheers 🙂
Thai food and Thailand in general is one of my favourite Asian destinations but I’ve never stayed longer than a night in Bangkok. You’ve reminded me why I have to go back soon. Food, glorious food.
OMG this all looks so amazing! And what a fun experience. Up until recently, I have not been interested in any type of food tour (I like to create my own), but this seems like such as great time I’ll have to try it when I take the trip out to Bangkok. Beautiful pictures!
Happy to hear that this convinced you to take a food tour. What made Expique really unique was the local insights from our local guide and the fun tuk-tuk experience. Give it a shot the next time you are in Bangkok and you will be amazed. So glad you enjoyed the article and our pictures 🙂 Cheers!

This is the first of three posts describing how in the real world various arms of the media performed.
From those seemingly damning episodes, the audience is encouraged to make the vast extrapolation that it was a voracious media and an overzealous police that drove the whole case.
The police announcement - typical of such announcements in the US and UK when the local population is freaked out - was NOT made simply to win points for the police or to isolate and slam Knox (Sollecito and at that point Patrick were also described as suspects in the crime).
Many people could not sleep at night. The immediate effect upon Perugia and in particular its huge student population (over 20,000) of Meredith’s death was that many men and women, especially women as a sex crime was (rightly) described, did indeed become freaked out.
Literally thousands began to leave town.
Both the town managers and the university managers were quite desperately demanding an early break or major assurances to stem this tide. The police announcement did in fact do that.
Thereafter the investigators went on about their work for the better part of a year, and the documentation is huge - it was put at 10,000 pages early on but is now substantially larger than that.
Here is one example of just how much work was done after the police calmed things down.
At the infamous “interrogation” of Knox on 5-6 November 2007 she in fact worked on a list of seven names of people who might be able to help the police. The police took that list and they tracked down all seven, and the cross-checking of their accounts went on for months.
All of the Netflix’s global demonization of the media flows from Nick Pisa’s few deprecating words. No extensive checking of his reports is seen.
No Italian media disposition was examined at all - the Italian media was by far the most likely to have an effect on a jury of Italian speakers who are encouraged by the system to do some research.
The Netflix team dont appear to have read even one official document on the case.
Fortunately for the hard truth, what we often called the “Rome pool” of foreign correspondents included nearly a dozen exceptionally talented reporters (those posted in other countries usually are the cream of the crop).
Thanks to their very hard work and their incessant costly travel to Perugia, we were able to repost on the 2008 and 2009 developments with a scope far beyond what any one “man on the spot” could do (we did have several of those too).
Free-lancer Nick Pisa in fact reported from the court for a lot of media outlets in the UK, not simply one. He was the only non-Italian reporter to pretty consistently have a cameraman along, for his reports for Sky News, and some of his good video reports still show.
We’ll describe in the next post their desperate attempts to demonize all of the few reporters they did not have on a chain as coming straight from hell.
The filmmakers Blackhurst, McGinn and Morse allow Amanda Knox to portray herself as a terrified ingenue.
They don’t question ANY of the witnesses who were present when she was questioned at the police station to contradict her account of events - witnesses who testified as to exactly what did happen over many days at the trial in 2009.
They allow her account of her questioning to go unchallenged though NOT ONE JUDGE at pre-trial hearings, the trial, first appeal, Supreme Court, second appeal, and Supreme Court appeal considered any of her varying accounts to be the truth.
In this article, I will detail the lies Amanda Knox told the police and others usingas well as Amanda Knox’s book Waiting to Be Heard.
This fact is certain because it is gleaned from the telephone records, as has been already been said, and specifically from the fact that the telephone call above connected to the cell that served precisely 130 Via Garibaldi, a cell that is not within reach of anyone who would have been at 7 Via Della Pergola.
“This last circumstance, downplayed by Amanda, who said that even when she went  (see declarations of Marco Zaroli, page 180, hearing of February 6, 2009 and declarations of Luca Altieri, page 218, hearing of February 6, 2009), had alarmed Ms. Romanelli more. She said she was aware of only once, when she had returned to England and had been away for a few days, that Meredith had locked the door of her room. (This circumstance was confirmed by Laura Mezzetti, page 6, hearing of February 14, 2009).”.
Amanda Knox claimed that when she called Meredith’s English phone after speaking to Filomena, it “just kept ringing, no answer”.
“At 8:18 pmCorso Piazza Cavallotti or PAmanda Knox initially claimedr.
We do indeed share the previous judge [Nencini’s] opinion that this part of the accused’s story is reliable, due to the plausible observation that it was she who first put forward a possible sexual motive for the murder and mentioned the victim’s harrowing scream, at a time when the investigators still didn’t have the results of the examination of the corpse or the autopsy, nor the witness information, which was subsequently gathered, about the victim’s scream and the time it was heard.
But tin 2009 that she wasn’t hit.
Knox told the police she hadn’t smoked marijuana.
Rita Ficarra: “She suddenly put her hands to her head, burst out crying and said to us “˜It’s him, it’s him, it was him, he killed her’.
Amanda Knox then claimed Diya Lumumba killed Meredith in two witness statements she insisted on writing.
Amanda Knox: The declarations were taken against my will. And so, everything that I said, was said in confusion and under pressure, and, because they were suggested by the public minister [Giuliano Mignini].
Carlo Pacelli: Excuse me, but at 1:45, the pubblico ministero was not there, there was only the judicial police.
“Amanda Knox” by Netflix is massively misleading on the DNA. It completely ignores that Conti’s and Vechiotti’s 2011 report was unceremoniously ridiculed in 2013 by the First Chambers of the Supreme Court and the fraudulent pair branded as “˜intellectually dishonest’.
They present Knox and Sollecito as “˜exonerated’ and “˜innocent’ based in part on Vecchiotti & Conti’s misleading narrative when they were nothing of the kind.
And they ignore that Italy’s best DNA experts, from the Carabinieri labs in Rome, were assigned the role of DNA analysis for the repeat appeal, as they should have been in 2011, and important confirmations were presented and barely challenged.
In the film, Vecchiotti and Conti appear quite deeply into the film, at minute 64 of 92 minutes. The appearance of the “˜DNA experts’ towards the end enables the film makers to reinforce the image of a great miscarriage of justice, leading up to the grand finale denouement.
Enter Conti. Referring to the evidence of Sollecito’s DNA found on the bra, Conti introduces the audience to a key principle of DNA. It is “˜dust spread everywhere,’ he avers. To set the scene, we are informed that the Forensic Police (”˜Scientific Police’ in Italy) acted chaotically and that the crime scene was an absolute shambles. We hear an audio voiceover of a supposed scientific policeman saying to another “˜this is absurd, there is unbelievable chaos everywhere’.
So there we have it. “˜A crime scene must be completely sterile’. We are roundly informed that this crime scene was not, based on Conti’s word for it.
Next, enter his co-partner, the other “˜independent’ expert hired by the Hellmann appeal court to evaluate the evidence concerning he DNA identified on the presumed murder weapon knife, and the bra clasp sample: Carla Vecchiotti.
Carla Vecchiotti claims that the issue of contamination of the DNA “˜was raised by the court’. Shot moves to the scientific police as she continues, “˜ it could have been by other people’.
She then throws in a red herring. “˜There was the DNA of two unknown males on the clasp’, which we can dispense with straight away. In reality they were fragments of DNA, no more than 6 ““ 8 alleles, and precisely of the type of dust contamination Conti is talking about. This effectively subverts the issue away from the strong DNA profile of Sollecito found on the clasp.
Vecchiotti then continues the theme of the film that the prosecutor Mignini was acting entirely intuitively. “˜You can’t just make it what you want it to be’.
She claims there are “˜problems with contamination in the laboratory’, yet in court she insisted the alleged contamination was at the collection stage, and not at the laboratory. A picture of the knife comes up.
From this, she concludes the Kercher DNA is “˜inconclusive’.
Again, Vecchiotti repeats the lie that the laboratory was contaminated, when no such finding was upheld by any court, including Hellmann’s, by referring to Stefanoni stating she had examined fifty of Meredith’s samples at the same time, see above. She insinuates Stefanoni overrode standards so that they would not have to close the lab up between samples.
The film then cuts to clips of US media outrage at Vecchiotti’s findings of “˜contamination’, even dragging in Donald Trump, no doubt sucking on a tic tac, with just a small cameo of Mignini for “˜balance’, stating that “˜all evidence’ needs to be looked at, implying that Mignini accepted the alleged contamination and was now trying to deflect from it onto other evidence. The reader should bear in mind, that in fact, there was no such finding of contamination in Stefanoni’s labs.
Having established ““ falsely ““ that Vecchiotti and Conti had proven contamination to an unwary audience, the film then cuts to Amanda Knox claiming, “˜There is no trace of me in the murder room’.
We are shown a diagram of eight black spots of Rudy Guede’s traces and one white one for Sollecito, some distance away from the body, underneath which it was actually found. A police mug shot of Guede appears on screen, whom Knox describes as “˜ a guy who regularly committed burglaries’.
From this we are led to believe Guede is a seasoned criminal career burglar, when as of the time, he had no convictions at all. The film makers inform the audience it is, “˜a burglary gone wrong’, not a finding by any court, apart from the vacated Hellmann court. The balance (at roughly six to one against, in terms of time coverage) once again is provided by Mignini who points out its unfairness, given the evidence found at the trial.
Conti feels confident in this “˜documentary’, now as a global film star, to declare his advocacy for Knox and Sollecito with the above statement.
Next, the film completely ignores that hinext level court ““ Chieffi, Supreme Court ““ and the pair branded as “˜intellectually dishonest’. It ignores that the case was remitted back to a completely different Appeal Court, in a completely different area, from Umbria to Tuscany, and under a completely different judge.
In the Netflix film, a diagram showing Knox’ DNA on the knife handle is admired as a strong profile. Meredith’s DNA on the blade is highlighted as a question mark. About three times, the viewer is shown the same diagram with the word “˜INCONCLUSIVE’ above the Meredith DNA in red letters.
The truth is, ALL of the defence experts ““ including Vecchiotti and Conti ““ accepted it was a strong DNA profile of Meredith (15-allele) so we see a blatant misrepresentation here, that rather than the confidently strong profile it is, Vecchiotti declares that it is “˜inconclusive’, and leads the viewer to believe this was because of proven contamination.
This deception is underlined by the film makers immediately galloping to the 2011 Hellman Court after the Vecchiotti & Conti interview, with wild scenes of Hellmann freeing the pair and declaring them innocent.
The connection is made: the knife DNA ““ and the bra clasp ““ is “˜contaminated’ and that is why the pair were freed. “˜This was the only flimsy evidence,’ is the message conveyed. Thanks to the lurid and putrid imaginings of Mignini and Pisa, those kids suffered, the viewer is told.
Cue mass media bombardment by the outraged Netflix viewers, on Twitter and Facebook excoriating Pisa, mostly, and also Mignini as having botched up the whole case and ruined the lives of these two kids.
How did Vecchiotti and Conti get appointed by Hellmann court at all? I reveal how the US contingent of pro-Amanda Knox scientists helped “˜fix’ it.
I will set out Chieffi’s and Nencini’s damning criticisms of Vecchiotti and Conti in the case. Crini points out, in the Nencini report, that Vecchiotti’s own laboratory fridge did not have a thermometer!
I will show how the elaborate “˜heist’ of the judicial system in springing “˜the kids’ from jail happened. A US scientist, using Boise University resources Greg Hampikian was bragging to courts in the US under oath, “˜I am still working on the Amanda Knox case’.
My analysis exposes the interconnections between US advocates Hampikian, Bruce Budowle and British forensic expert, Dr Peter Gill, with Vecchiotti and Conti, which casts grave doubt on the pair being “˜independent’ expert witnesses at all.
On 21 April 2016, Carla Vechiotti, together with Pascali, Vicenza and Arberello, was found guilty in a civil suit of gross negligence in the examination of the murder of Contessa Ogliata, dating from 1991, and ordered to pay â‚¬150,000 in damages. Vecchiotti appears to have a reputation for cutting more corners than Stirling Moss, with other cases often quoted, with which she is associated.
Carla Vecchiotti’s reputation is in tatters. She has made a number of shocking errors in a couple of murder cases, she repeatedly misled the appeal court - Judge Nencini described her and Conti’s work as “misleading” and “reprehensible”.
On 18 Dec 2010 at the Hellmann appeal the defences made three unusual requests, (a) to get an independent review of the DNA and (b) to bring in Alessi to challenge Guede’s testimony and (c) Aviello, a mobster. Hellmann agreed to appoint Conti & Vecchiotti from La Sapienza University in Rome. In the interim 16 Dec 2010, Rudy Guede was definitively convicted.
Request (a) was challenged by Comodi, saying there were many experts for both sides already. Hellmann argued a judge did not have sufficient expertise to evaluate the experts’ opinions. Having achieved the appointment of Conti & Vecchiotti , Conti & Vecchiotti [”˜the experts’] delivered the coup de grâce: claiming international standards were not met, contamination could not be ruled out, and that the DNA profile of Meredith could not be reliable.
The pair made the claim the DNA could have “˜come from dust’, strongly rebutted by Stefanoni, who said in that case, there should have been contamination elsewhere, not just on the bra clasp.
Contamination from the laboratory was completely ruled out, contrary to the claims made in the Netflix film, after which, “˜the experts’ moved to a stance that the contamination happened before it even got to the laboratories. At the hearing, Conti was constantly asked what the criteria were for alleging contamination, to which he replied, “˜Anything is possible’. As a scientist, a proper evaluation of probability was expected of him.
It transpired “˜the experts’ had decided to use the US standards of Bruce Budowle and supported by Gill, et al., that the threshold for Low Copy Number (LCN) DNA should be raised to 200 picograms, from the hitherto conventional 100 picograms.
In addition, “˜the experts’ argued, the US standard of 50 RFU’s should be used in place of the then Italian standard of 30 RFU’s. Analysis of DNA below these levels introduces a higher risk of “˜background noise’; contamination from alien sources, i.e., everyday dust, which may contain DNA fragments.
Hellmann, “˜the experts’ and the US scientists getting involved, by virtue of “˜the experts’ quoting extensively from their papers, erred in presupposing that Dr Stefanoni knew nothing about these issues. Professor Novelli, for the state, challenged the claim that there was any contamination. Indeed “˜the experts’ were unable to demonstrate this other than by quoting lengthy academic papers which had little to do with mundane case law and more to do with ivory towers.
Vecchiotti, born 1951 with a long CV from medical student days would have known what Italian standards were, yet tried to subvert them in retrospect“˜no, no’ for an independent expert witness.
In 2013 t LCN.
“˜ “˜too innovative’.
C “˜. Chieffi was particularly critical of “˜the experts’ refusing to test the remaining knife sample, calling their reasoning, “˜intellectually dishonest’.
On 25 March 2013, Chieffi ordered the case back to the Appeal court to consider the DNA evidence again, amongst other issues, and that the knife sample be tested. One suspects “˜the experts’ were loath to test the sample in case it turned out be further DNA of Meredith, and this may be why Chieffi smelt a rat.
In 2014 Judge Nencini made it clear in a newspaper interview it was not within his remit to criticise “˜the experts’, but rather, to assess the legal rectitude of the Massei court decision, which Hellmann patently failed to do. However, criticise he does.
“”¦ The consultant holds furthermore that the most appropriate technical approach to interpret the genetic profile arising from trace 165B and to avoid subjective interpretations is to “call upon”, meaning to consider as valid, all of the alleles with RFU > 50, independently of their position or whether or not they might be stutter.
Once the complete profile is determined, given that there may also be more than two contributors to the trace, we feel that the only statistical approach that can be used adequately here is the RMNE (Random Man Not Excluded) method.
This statistical approach makes it possible to estimate the possible error due to a chance compatibility, meaning that of a person chosen randomly from the population and who by pure chance is fully compatible with the genetic characteristics of the individual represented in the trace.
The higher and nearer to 1 that probability is, the more likely it is that the profile could be the result of a random choice and thus the higher the probability of an error in the attribution of the genetic profile to a given individual. In this case, as seen in Table 5, the profile of Raffaele Sollecito is compatible at all the loci analyzed in the mixture of DNA found on Exhibit 165B “˜n.
The sample on the knife “˜the experts’ had claimed was “˜starch’ and “˜to “˜the experts’ claim of “˜contamination is proven’.
A key finding was that Professors Novelli and Torricelli had already been the target of the criticisms raised specifically by Prof. Adriano Tagliabracci, technical consultant for the Sollecito defense, at the first instance trial court, and thus was a matter settled (res judicata).
Nencini also found that the second instance [Hellman] court undervalued the fact that the tests carried out took place during the preliminary investigation [of which the Defence was notified and had the right to attend], that at the time of those tests, there were no objections concerning the sampling and laboratory activity, nor was a pre”trial hearing requested regarding the testing, all of which proves agreement with the [laboratory] procedures.

“TA.
That kind of extraneous DNA is routine in low-template work: our environment is covered with DNA from breath and touch, including a lot of fragmentary DNA from degraded cells that can show up in low-template analyses. There is virtually no crime sample that doesn’t have some environmental DNA on it, from individuals not directly involved in the crime.
This does create additional uncertainty in the analysis because of the extra ambiguity about the true profile of the contributor of interest, but as long as it is correctly allowed for in the analysis there is no problem - it is completely routine.” (David Balding).

In other words, Conti and Vecchiotti were not referring to the specific guidelines and recommendation of one particular international forensic organisations despite giving that impression at the appeal in Perugia.
They cited a number of obscure American publications such as the the Missouri State Highway Patrol Handbook and Wisconsin Crime Laboratory Physical Evidence Handbook. The Italian Scientific Police are under no obligation to follow the DNA protocols of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and Wisconsin Crime Laboratory.
Back in 2008 pre-trial there was an independent review of the forensic evidence.
Dr Renace, reviewed Dr Stefanoni’s investigation and the forensic findings. He testified at Rudy Guede’s fast-track trial in October 2008 and . He also praised the work of Dr. Stefanoni and her team.
To the bottom line, then, WAS there any possibility of contamination, as Vecchiotti and Conti are now claiming in the film?
1. Conti and Vecchiotti didn’t prove there had been any contamination. Judge Chieffi pointed this out.
2. Conti and Vecchiotti lied to the appeal court - Judge Nencini pointed this out - and they didn’t test the DNA sample despite the fact they were specifically instructed to do so.
3. Numerous DNA experts believe the bra clasp is strong evidence - Professor Balding, Professor Novelli, Luciano Garofano, Professor Torricelli and Dr Biondo.
4. It’s impossible that the knife was contaminated.
5. There is no universally accepted DNA standards for collecting and testing DNA evidence. DNA protocols vary from country to country.
6. Conti and Vecchiotti cited obscure sources, They didn’t refer to the specific guidelines of an international forensic organisation.
7. Conti and Vecchiotti excluded contamination in the laboratory.
8. The defence experts had no objections when the DNA evidence was tested.
9. Vecchiotti made calamitous errors in other cases and her lab was closed down.
10. Does anyone really believe Sollecito’s DNA floated on a speck of dust under Meredith’s door and landed on the exact part of her er?
In the final Marasca-Bruno Supreme Court appeal, the short-form provisional 48- page reasoning from March 2015, the guilty verdicts as upheld by Massei and Nencini are overturned, and Vecchiotti & Conti”˜s report reinstalled.
“The second reason [the first reason being: The first reason challenged the violation and inobservance of the criminal law], highlights a problem of great relevance in the circumstance of the present judgment, that is the right interpretation of the scientific examination results from a perspective of respect of the evaluation standards according to article 192 of the criminal procedural code and the relevance of the genetic evaluation in the absence of repeatable amplification, as a consequence of the minimal amount of the sample and, more generally, the reliability coefficient of investigations carried out without following the regulations dictated by the international protocols, both during the collecting phase and the analysis.
Thus, we see the First (Chieffi) Supreme Court Chambers directly challenged by the Fifth Chambers and the criticisms of Vecchiotti and Conti swept aside, as though they had never happened.
It takes on board Gill’s theories of “˜secondary’ and “˜tertiary’ transfer of DNA, when Gill himself appears to have overlooked that he himself wrote, that “˜this is highly improbable after 24 hours have passed’.
If Marasca’s rulings are considered bizarre, then light is shed when one realises that Bongiorno, for Sollecito, was given NINE times longer to present her appeal than any of the other parties, so it is fair comment to assume its reasoning is based on Bongiorno’s appeal points.
Nobody from either the Perugia or Florence prosecution teams was even present.
In addition, her 306 page appeal was appended with Gill’s advocacy report. Gill was never cross-examined.
The resuscitation of the hitherto presumed decaying corpse of Vecchiotti & Conti is remarkable, given the cadaver of their report to Hellmann was picked raw, first by the First Chambers Supreme Court (Chieffi) and then Judge Nencini.
How the “˜Heist’ was pulled off.
Andrea Vogt wrote of the Marasca reasoning: “˜In my opinion, their report is superficial at best and intellectually dishonest at worst, when even the most minimal amount of Quellenkritik is applied’.
Andrea Vogt writes an incisive analysis of the US influence on the C&V reports, which I cannot better here, so do read it for yourself.
If then “˜court experts’ Vecchiotti & Conti?
We can link this back to the film makers own self-professed strong pro-Knox beliefs in her innocence. Thus we have come full circle.
The defence managed to convince the now expunged Hellmann court to appoint “˜independent experts’; the Chieffi Supreme Court ruled that, whilst this was within Hellmann’s remit, he did not provide adequate reasoning for doing so.
Vecchiotti & Conti, remarkably, in their report, relied heavily on US standards, thus making the straw man claim that Italy hadn’t followed them, notwithstanding their strong academic and legal background in Italy. This therefore cannot have been due to ignorance, so we have to point to their own volition to be influenced strongly by Knox-advocates.
For example, Hampikian, funded by Boise University grants and protected by a blanket of secrecy, citing “˜trade secrets’ when journalist Andrea Vogstatutes.
In addition, Bruce Budowle, a more conservative ex-FBI forensic expert, was heavily relied upon, together with peers Gill, et al. It was at this stage Gill may have got roped in. His later book draws on Vecchiotti &Conti’s Hellmann’s Report.
Thus, we see a band of pro-Amanda Knox advocates determined to influence the so-called “˜independent’ experts, even when both Hampikian’s and Budowle’s reports were rejected as depositions by the courts. Even when “˜the experts’ were spiked by the Chieffi Supreme court, Hampikian was still averring, “˜I am involved in the Amanda Knox case’.
On the subject of Dr Peter Gill, who is widely regarded as having influenced the Fifth Chambers, via Bongiorno’s Appeal, to which his theories were attached, is now drawing on Vecchiotti and Conti as his main source, so we have a case of the experts’ racing car, as it were, driven by the man referred to devoutly by the defence as “˜the father of forensic science’.
““ A look at his sources show that the chapter on Meredith Kercher was directly influenced by the Conti-Vecchiotti report.
““ He argues contamination, but doesn’t prove a path of transmission.
““ He cites papers on secondary transfer of DNA, but misses the point his suggested routes, RS>door handle>investigator’s latex glove>bra clasp is tertiary transfer.
““ The shoe box belonging to Meredith story has been shot down.
““ He clearly has not read Inspector Gubbiotti or Finci’s testimonies, which removes all possible paths of “˜innocent transfer’.
““ Reading the actual research papers he cites, there is no way that such significant amounts of DNA could actually transfer to the bra clasp.
““ He did not review Patrizia Stefanoni’s Scientific Report or any of her notes, instead relying on the IIP translated C&V report and Hellmann decision.
““ He refers to the Meredith Kercher wiki, but never even looked at the DNA segments which would have alerted him to problems with the C&V report.
““ He may have had indirect input from Sollecito’s first DNA expert, Vincenzo Pascali, and Carla Vecchiotti, but does not seem to know of Vecchiotti’s colorful record of falsifying evidence.
Last, and worst of all, he did not refer to the Supreme Court decision annulling Hellmann even though the translation was widely available almost ten months before his book was published.
There is no way he could not have known this, since we had been in contact with him since earlier this year. It is unconscionable that he chose this route to promote his theories. Elsevier under its new ownership and editorial policies seem to have allowed any number of self-published books to be written.
If Professor Gill had written a scholarly text book it would have to be reviewed by an editorial board and sent for peer review, which might have led to professional experts critiquing and hopefully pointing out his errors.
Instead, he wrote a slim, unreviewed “˜popular’ book to promote his own theories, which, embarrassing perhaps for him, is being critiqued and torn apart by lay persons, ahem.
The Machine’s analysis of 50 of the most common myths still promoted.
The Nencini Sentencing Report.
The Chieffi Sentencing Report.
The Massei Report.

This fine BBC production has been aired in many countries and although it has been “officially” blocked in the US over one million have watched it there.
The superior Andrea Vogt/Paul Russell report for the BBC Is Amanda Knox Guilty? was made on a lower budget and took substantially less production time.
It actually contained some Italians other than two discredited DNA experts and a hoodwinked Dr Mignini and Nick Pisa.
British viewership exceeded 700,000 in its first airing in February 2014. Foreign broadcasts worldwide - mysteriously it was not ever aired in the US - exceeded that by up to 10 times. There are several pirated uploads available on BitTorrent, and YouTube views are well over 100,000.
Let us say a total of at least 5 million worldwide for the BBC production by Andrea Vogt and Paul Russell, and maybe up to twice that.
Promotion of the fair and unemotional BBC production was low-key worldwide. The formidable prosecution case is explained in an interesting way, and the very odd claim that some minor 2007 UK reporting is what swayed a row of judges and a smart Italian jury two years later is absent.
More than twice those who have watched the biased Netflix report online. It is hard to see Amanda Knox breaking even. It could be a big loss for the Knox-beholden producers.
iTechPost is estimating viewership of Amanda Knox as below 400,000. A typical primetime success in the US would exceed that by maybe 30 times.
The iTechPost report suggests that leaving so much factual material out, and simply playing to American emotions, looks to have been a major mistake.
By comparison, Netflix’s Avery success Making A Murderer which dwelled on plenty of evidence (though not all of it) and courtroom drama exceeded one million views in the US for each of 10 episodes, making a total of over 10 million.
There were many more views elsewhere.
Amanda Knox included such audience-bait as demonization of the prosecutor to hiss at, and demonization of one UK reporter to hiss at. Plenty about Italian justice to hiss at.
Also a major (and long discredited) smear by Amanda Knox accusing the investigators of felonies - which Dr Mignini was not even told about, let alone allowed to respond to; now that would have been fair and interesting.
The promotional theme was Monster v Victim but the movie did not devote even a minute to exploring that theme. Now that really could have been interesting.
Amanda Knox was given pervasive and very expensive promotion in the US including a costly billboard in NYC’s Madison Square Gardens. Netflix and Knox PR have engineered close to 100 positive reviews (though negative reader comments are in the clear majority).
Why pay to see PR distortions? Objectivity rules. Truth rules. Fairness rules. Fact rules. Good word-of-mouth rules. A lot less of the dishonest ultra-self-absorbed whiner Amanda Knox rules.
The ratings for Amanda Knox are a fail by Netflix’s own Avery standard. And a big fail by the BBC standard.
assionate lover of movies and documentaries, I respect the right of ANYONE to create a documentary or film through the prism of their own POV.
On the other hand, they owe us, the audience, a modicum of honesty in their reporting. Otherwise, as some one once complained about deceptive editing and reporting in one of Katie Couric’s documentaries, it prevents “democratic discourse” and this is what we ask.
Rudy Guede’s lawyer Valter Biscotti had a lot more to say about his client being convicted ‘in conjunction with others’. This was edited out, as well as the caption Knox put alongside her blog when she posed with a machine gun, “The Nazi Within”. Something the media reported correctly at the time, McGinn and Blackhurst not.
The Producer Stephen Robert Morse hid his involvement in the project with Brian McGinn and Rod Blackhurst since 2011.
Mignini was referring to the Monster of Florence case when he talked of people coming up to shake his hand, the film makes it look like they were congratulating him for putting away Amanda Knox.
He was referring to it being an inside job when he said an “unknown” man (edited out to make him seem misogynistic) would not have covered Meredith with a blanket.
The film emphasized his Catholic beliefs to make it seem he was making a moralistic judgement about her. As he pointed out, the evidence was somewhat overwhelming. It also made it seem like his love of Sherlock Holmes was proof of him following a hunch. Um, that’s what investigators sometimes do, especially when faced with the numerous prevarications and failed alibis of Amanda Knox. Obscuring the evidence to match your narrative is dishonest to the extreme.
There were several prosecutors and numerous judges helped convict her, not just prosecutor Mignini. Nor was it an exercise in misogyny, the case was largely driven by five women: Judge Claudia Matteini, co-prosecutor Manuela Comodi, Scientific Police DNA lab technician Patrizia Stefanoni, homicide Inspector Monica Napoleoni, and Inspector Rita Ficarra.
Two stars out of ten for production values and slick cinematography, none for the film itself.

d, in particular, to in-rush current protection.
Unless precautions are taken, destructive inrush currents could damage the electronic circuits during hot swapping operations in a live system. These inrush currents flow in connector contacts and electrical components when a circuit card is plugged into a system under power. If inrush current is not limited in some way, peak current levels can exceed electrical component ratings, thereby destroying functional circuits on the card.
The first drawback with the circuit shown in the '455 Patent relates to the manner in which the load is discharged upon disconnection from the power supply. In a common application of the current limiting circuit, the load includes a switching power supply which does not exhibit linear resistive characteristics. In fact, the switching power supply is highly nonlinear and frequently stops drawing current completely below a particular input threshold voltage level. As the transistor 14 has an intrinsic diode from source to drain, this effect of incompletely discharging the load capacitance can result in capactitors 20 and 22 remaining in a charged state when reinserted. The current limiting function of the circuit shown in the '455 Patent can be severly compromised or negated entirely in this arrangement.
The second drawback relates to regulation of the voltage at the gate of transistor 14 in the '455 Patent. Specifically, in a typical telecommunications application, a voltage of 48 volts is typically applied across the input terminals. During the time interval between application of input power and turn on of transistor 14, capacitor 22 is charged exponentially toward 48 volts with a time constant determined by resistors 16 and 18 and capacitor 22. Due to the high voltage applied to the RC circuit, relatively high time constants (high component values) are required to achieve acceptable operation. Further, diode 24 exhibits imprecise voltage limiting characteristics at low current levels in conjunction with substantial leakage currents at voltages below the normal turn on point necessitating lower resistance values in the configuraion shown in the '455 Patentmodule 10 includes two main components, namely, current limiting circuit 12 and functional circuit 14. Typical are configured on a common circuit board such that electronic module 10 can be inserted into a system. Advantageously, current limiting circuit 12 is included in electronic module 10 to prevent inrush currents from damaging functional circuit 14 when electronic module 10 is hot plugged into a system under power.
In one embodiment, current limiting circuit 12 is constructed as shown and described below with respect to FIG. 1B.
Electronic module 100 includes power supply interface 102 with first and second nodes A and B and load interface 104 with first and second nodes C and D. Electronic module 100 further includes current limiting circuit 107 coupled between power supply interface 102 and load interface 104.
Current limiting circuit 107 uses a variable impedance device 122 to control the inrush current. As shown, variable impedance device 122 is an N appropriate devices with a variable impedance are used in other embodiments. Variable impedance device 122 includes a source that is coupled to node B of power supply interface 102, a drain that is coupled to node D of load interface 104 and a control input or gate coupled to node E.
The voltage at node E is controlled by a number of circuit elements to control the operation of variable impedance device 122 to limit the inrush current to load 106. First, zener diode 112 is coupled in series with resistor 110 between nodes A and B of power supply interface 102. This circuit regulates the voltage at node E and limits the steady state voltage at node E to a level that is suitable for application to the control input of variable impedance device 122. In other embodiments with lower power supply voltages that are on the order of the desired steady state voltage on node E, zener diode 112 and resistor 110 are omitted as shown in FIG. 2. Second, resistor 118 and capacitor 120 are coupled in series to form an RC circuit between node E and node D of load interface 104. Finally, capacitor 116 is coupled between node E and node B of power supply interface 102.
Resistor 114 is coupled between node E and zener diode 112. Resistor 114 provides the current necessary for charging capacitors 116, 120 andThis RC circuit sets the slope of the rate of the linear increase in voltage applied to the load at load interface 104. The use of resistors 110 and 114 in current limiting circuit 107 provides advantages over the circuit shown in the '455 Patent. For example, resistor 110 allows better voltage regulation by zener 112. By setting resistor 114 with a much higher resistance than resistor 110, zener 112 is provided with sufficient current to provide good voltage regulation independent of the voltage atFurther, by including resistor 114 with a high resitance level, current limiting circuit 107 provides similar levels of current limiting protection to the circuit of the '455 Patent while using much smaller capacitors.
Resistor 108 is coupled and provides a voltage discharge path for capacitors 116 and 120 and capacitor 124 of load 106.
In operation, current limiting circuit 107 limits the inrush current provided to load 106 when electronic module 100 is hot plugged into a live system at power supply interface 102. Before application of power, capacitors 116, 120 and 124 are in a discharged state. Upon sudden application of input power, input voltage is applied to capacitors 116, 124 and 120 in series with resistor 118 as well as resistor 110 in series with zener 112. Zener 112 and resistor 110 regulate the voltage at node E to a selected steady state voltage, e.g., 15 volts. Resistor 118, e.g., 10 kΩ, is chosen to limit charging current to low values, e.g., less than 10 mA, to reduce stress on the capacitors 116 and 120. Capacitor 120 charges quickly compared to capacitor 116 and load 106, e.g., less than 200 μS, due to its small value, e.g, 3.3 nF. Little voltage appears across capacitor 116, e.g., 100 nF, as it is much larger than capacitor 120, and very little across capacitor 124, e.g., typically on the order of 30 μF due to it being much larger than capacitor 116. Therefore, the voltage across load 106 is very close to zero and variable impedance device 122 is still in the off condition with the gate to source voltage below its threshold, e.g., Vgs is less than 2V.
The nearly constant current transferred through capacitor 120 results in a linear ramp of voltage across capacitor 116 and the load consisting of capacitor 124 and resistor 126 and will cause load capacitor 124 to be charged at a constant current proportional to it's value and the ramp rate, thereby preventing large inrush currents. As load capacitance is a controlled design parameter and ramp rate is determined by values of components 112, 114, 116, 120 and known characteristics of variable impedance device 122, load inrush current can be accurately controlled.
This controlled turn on of variable impedance device 122 provides another advantage over the circuit shown in the '455 Patent. Specifically, upon plug in, the gate of transistor 22 of the '455 Patent begins charging exponentially toward the full power supply voltage, e.g., 48V, with a time constant established by resistors 16 and 18 and capacitor 22. In the current embodiment, the gate of transistor 122 charges toward the regulated voltage established by zener diode 112, e.g., 15V, with a time constant established by resistor 114 and capacitors 116 and 120. Thus, to achieve the same current inrush protection, the circuit of the '455 Patent would require components approximately three times the values needed with the embodiment of FIG. 1B.
Upon disconnection of power, capacitors 116, 120 and 124 will discharge through the load resistance 126 and resistors 108, 110, 114 and 118. Advantageously, this assures that the load is fully discharged upon disconnection from the circuit so that current limiting circuit 107 is effectively reset to limit inrush current on subsequent application of power to electronic module 100.

Coconut rum is the epitome of a dessert rum. Not only does it carry a sweet, smooth taste, but the coconut finish gives off major tropical vibes. Found in popular cocktails such as Bahama Mama’s and Pina Coladas, this flavorful rum has become a welcome taste.
Various coconut rums have made their way into mainstream bars and restaurants worldwide, meaning you don’t have to physically be in a tropical area to experience a fun and fresh tropical beverage.
Coconut rum is the perfect addition to take a seemingly one-dimensional beverage to the next level. But what is the best coconut rum for your cocktails? From Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum from Sarasota, Florida, to Cruzan Coconut Rum native to the U.S. Virgin Islands, I’ll take a look at the 12 best coconut rums.
- Siesta Key Toasted Coconut
If I were to use one word to describe Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum, it would be “distinctive”. The unique makeup of this coconut rum gives it an enhanced flavor unmatched by its competitors. Made in small batches in Sarasota, Florida, at an artisan distillery, Siesta Key produces a coconut rum with real toasted coconut to give it an “as real as it gets” coconut taste.
Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum is quoted as being unique to the rum industry and a product that has raised the bar for the U.S. rum market. The distinctive flavoring process and overall sweetness of the coconut make Siesta Key Toasted Coconut Rum one to remember.
If the name didn’t give Koloa Coconut Rum origin away, this product description certainly will. Native to Hawaii, Koloa brings the tropical island to you with their unique, flavorful coconut rum. This coconut rum is 40% ABV/80 Proof and is distilled at 160 – 180 ABV.
St Petersburg Distillery Oak & Palm Coconut Rum
The  smell of delicate vanilla with a hint of sweet sugars. The creaminess mixed with rich coconut sends your tastebuds to a new dimension. Don’t forget the hint floral notes that you experience on the finish.
Alcohol content for this coconut rum is 35% ABV and 70 Proof.
Not only is Don Q Coco Rum a feel-good rum that will bring your tropical side out, but it also has a smooth finish that will help you relax as you can almost hear the waves of the ocean when you sip your rum. Its Puerto Rican roots might be how they pack so much flavor into one bottle.
Bacardi is most well-known for its spiced rum. But just like its spiced rum, Bacardi knows how to make its coconut rum tasty. This white rum infused with real coconut can transport you to a tropical paradise, no matter where you are.
Bacardi Coconut Rum originates from Puerto Rico and holds a fresh and crisp taste that makes you feel like you’re being kissed by the summer sun. The clean finish mixed with the pure coconut aroma is the perfect combination. This coconut flavored rum has an ABV of 35%.
Handcrafted in St. Kitts, this molasses-based coconut rum by Brinley Gold Shipwreck is a winner when it comes to coconut rum. This hand-crafted blend takes natural coconuts from the island and blends them for an authentic taste of the tropics.
The 36% ABV means it won’t hit you in the face if enjoyed on its own but adds a kick to your average pina colada. Enjoy natural coconut flavors by using gluten-free coconut rum like Brinley Shipwreck Coconut Rum.
As mystical as the name sounds, Wicked Dolphin Coconut Rum isn’t a fairytale. Native to Cape Coral, FL, Wicked Dolphin produces spirits that hold a unique color and taste. The ingredients are cooked, fermented, and distilled in their Florida location, where it is then stored in the barrel room at the distillery.
This coconut rum is complete with a big, bold flavor and a delicate body infused with hints of vanilla. The aromas will take you to a tropical island as the clean, straightforward coconut is as authentic as it gets.
Coconut Cartel isn’t meant to mix with other ingredients to create a cocktail. Instead, this darker coconut rum is designed as a premium sipping rum. The tropical aromas emitted from the freshly harvested coconut water take you to the sandy beaches of Guatemala, where the distillery is located. Enjoy the nutty flavor with hints of sweetness and salty this smooth coconut rum has to offer.
This delicate coconut rum is native to the Virgin Islands and is just the coconut rum you need to get that island feeling.
Pick up the Malibu and pineapple juice when it’s time to party like you’re on an island.
Have you ever heard the expression, “take time to stop and smell the roses”? Well, Cruzan has a different version of that expression-take time to stop and smell the coconuts. Cruzan Coconut Rum is a smoothly blended rum that has natural coconut flavors to create a creamy rum.

This morning I watched a Lifeclass episode I recorded last weekend about living in the moment. How strange I should happen to pick this episode?! I had a particularly rough day at work and wasis is something I tend to do quite a bit, as well as think of things I have to do in the future. I rarely live in the present! Even when I’m getting a massage or taking a run, I’m constantly checking on a mental list of things I have to do. It’s terrible. The part of the episode that especially touched me was when they brought in a mother who was burned in a plane accident over 80% of her body. She said when she was in a coma she heard a voice saying she could choose to live a difficult life or die. She chose to live. They paired her with a mom who was dissatisfied with her life and the little things. They spent the day together and she saw how much the mother with injuries struggled with opening things, not being able to hold her children, and the pain of her wounds. She said it really opened her up to appreciating every moment with her children and to be present when she spent time with them.
When I am at home tonight with my dogs and my husband, I’m going to live in the present. I’m going to appreciate them and focus on that moment. I’m not going to worry about work, having children, or the dishes on the counter. I’m going to enjoy the ones I love.

My 4yr old daughter is obsessed with @drake Watches God's Plan vid over and over "Drake's like Santa!" Radio plays… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…2 years ago
RT @Alkahsu: Our daughter's 1st @Mariners game and it's in Minnesota #whereIROOT https://t.co/pTi4vGyYR5 2 years ago


This year for Christmas Jon and I decided we would like to do the "Twelve Days of Christmas" thing for a family in our church ward. Long story short: we had trouble finding the address and then wondered if maybe they were leaving town anyway (because this couple's children are in another state right now—and although I don't know the situation, I thought they might be able to go see them). Laziness took over from there. On Christmas Eve, I wondered if they'd had enough money to buy each other gifts. I considered dropping off some cash or something—just a card even. But I forgot. When I saw one of the people in the family on Sunday at church, I could have kicked myself hard. I had failed to follow through on a prompting to help someone. So much for surviving cancer because I had a purpose in life. Gharrrgh!
I wandered into the kitchen to the sound of shovels banging and snow being crunched outside my house. What would I pay them?I took down our supply of "just in case" cash. I kept it in a poinsettia-decorated card/money folder from a 2009 Christmas present from my brother Mike. I spread the money out on the counter-top. My initial plan was to go with a 20, but then I thought, "I'll pray about it." Along with the prayer, I had the duel thought of: "I need this money. What if they use it unwisely?Or what if they're not even telling me the truth?"
I did not get a sure answer from my prayer. But I did have the thought that generosity never goes awry for the giver, regardless of what these unknowns would use the money for. I remembered that last year, someone very anonymous generously gave my family some cash, and I felt so loved. Surely, I could do the same?
I pulled the twenty in front of me—no, not enough. I made it thirty. (Sigh) Fifty. Fifty-eight. Yikes. In one quick motion I grabbed the hundred (with Ben Franklin smirking at me on the front) and threw another fifty into my brother's old Christmas envelope. It still had his handwriting on it: "This packs better for the plane!LOL"
Ooooh (shiver-happy). Warm and fuzzy. I still feel so warm and fuzzy!
Here are a few photos of the indoor garden I've been working on, along with a little history in story-book format. Once upon a time, I had this crazy idea that I could grow some fresh greens and herbs during the fall and winter in Alaska. "What brilliance!" I thought to myself. "I'm sure I'll save scads of money on lettuce (which tends to look wilted and slimy in most stores at winter), plus I'll have a fun hobby, all season long!
To continue to tale: Once upon a time, a beautiful maiden began growing lettuce, parsley, and other such wonders inside her snug cottage. This mythical maiden was known far and wide for her green thumb. But she soon found that light was needed as fall faded into winter, and the girl was poor. Turning to her magic mirror, she cried, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, can you give me sunlight at all?" Much to her surprise, the beautiful girl was taken up in a cloud of fairy dust and magically whisked into her local Home Depot, where stood a vast assortment of fluorescent lighting as well as some inexpensive shop lights, which she duly set up on wire shelving in a sunny spare bedroom. But would these cheap lights work?
The second day, early in the morning, the maiden arose to check on her seeds and the wondrous new lights. A miracle had happened!
In the morning, she looked into her little kingdom of flora, and—once again, she found that elves had come in the night and replaced the seeds with tiny plants!
4. "Poor" maiden: Not as cost effective as I would have liked, and the vegetables grow slowly—but it is one of my favorite random experiments to date. And there's nothing like having fresh parsley and basil whenever I want it. I also look forward to having an early start on spring in a few months. I am hoping that seeding everything myself will save a lot of money!
When I quit writing my blog in June, I determined that I would only let it lie for the duration of summer because I was so busy learning how to garden (among other things). When fall came, I found that my "summer projects" could be taken indoors. I continued the autumnal bliss of harvesting, and even seed-planting, near sunny windows for several months. When my enormous tomato plants somehow got outdoor bugs while inside the house, I threw them out. I thought to myself: "is it time to blog again?
There are a gazillion good instruction setbuild a real greenhouse. I really suggest you go find one of those sites instead of reading this blog post. But if you're in the market for a temporary, under $25 kind of structure, this is the way to do it. Mind, it's not pretty, and strong winds will tear the sucker apart, but hopefully you'll get a few seedlings out of the deal. Besides, who wants this ugly thing sitting in their teensy back yard all summer?
2. When at the checkout, make sure the high-school-aged employee has actually scanned ALL the items—especially when discussing the enthralling subject of PVC-built geodesic domes. Otherwise, your nagging conscience will force you to pay this unlikely store a second visit in the same day. (Seriously, though, that kid deserves a raise for his awesomeness of conversation. No harm done anyway, because the customer service lady was so shocked at my honesty that she gave me the whole caboodle for free!
7. Stick your little seedlings, and etc…

Love Cocoa’s founder, James Cadbury, is someone who surely knows his chocolate, being the great, great, great grandson of John Cadbury, the founder of the globally revered Cadbury’s brand.
Cadbury has struck out on his own with Love Cocoa, a confectionery gift service that he launched in 2016, with the vision to provide high quality chocolate with an environmentally conscious angle. The company has planted over 650,000 trees in the past 12 months, with the goal of planting over 10 million in the next three years. Its product is also entirely plastic-free and the company is entirely carbon negative.
Love Cocoa is a confectionery gift service launched in 2016
Love Cocoa operates an omnichannel strategy, blending direct to consumer, wholesale, exports and corporate sales, and it was this approach that allowed the company to flourish during the pandemic, focusing on growing channels when others were floundering. During this tumultuous time for many businesses, Love Cocoa tripled its workforce and doubled its revenue, no doubt to the envy of its rivals.
The company continued to innovate during the lockdown, refusing to rest on its laurels, and created a vegan chocolate bar made from oat milk, having spotted a potentially lucrative gap in the market.
The business flourished during the pandemic by
Love Cocoa also operates the HIP Chocolate brand, a plant-based oat milk chocolate that actually launched during lockdown, and is now stocked by many large retail stores and over 500 independent ones. HIP Chocolate is the top selling chocolate bar with high street retailer WH Smiths, and also occupies shelf space in prestigious outlets such as Selfridges and Harrods.


were talking about educational opportunity." AIAW members rejoiced in the hard-won victory over a far more powerful opponent. "The women in AIAW were very committed to what they were doing," Grant noted. "I'm not just talking about the leadership. I'm talking about the average member. I think our volunteer system was probably the best since the Red Cross."
The final regulations were explicit about the need for athletic equality, stating: "A school must provide equal athletic opportunity for both sexes." A handful of institutions achieved exemptions, among them fraternities, sororities and "scholarships or other aid offered by colleges and universities to participants in single-sex pageants which reward the combination of personal appearance, poise and talent." Football was not among them. In measuring equality of opportunity, the regulations specified, HEW would "consider" It would also look at factors that included "facilities, equipment, supplies, game and practice schedules, travel and per diem allowances, coaching (including assignment and compensation of coaches), academic tutoring, housing, dining facilities and publicity." The regulations became final on July 21, 1975, with compliance required by 1978. Women's sports programs, once scattered across a handful of schools, would become a reality across the nation.
AS SCHOOLS BEGAN TO PUT TOGETHER WOMEN'S TEAMS, ASPIRING coaches were among the first to benefit. Because most coaching jobs began as part-time positions, linked to jobs in women's physical education departments, most of them went to women. In 1975, South Carolina native Judy Rose was. "There were about thirty of us in grad school at Tennessee . . . about fifty-fifty male and female," explained Rose, who would go on to become one of the first female athletic directors of a Division I university. "And I remember the guys would walk into class—and this is toward the end of the year—and one guy would go: 'Yes! I am the new junior high football coach at such-and-such junior high school!' . . . One of the girls would walk in and she'd go, 'Guess what, guess what? ...I'morth Alabama!' . . . Now ours was definitely right time, right place."
But while the jobs were easier to get, they were far more challenging to handle. Most novice male coaches were hired to coach established teams or to assist more experienced coaches. Women often started from scratch, with little coaching experience. In 1974, Pat Summitt fell into the head basketball job at the University of Tennessee when the head coach unexpectedly left. "I was a twenty-two-year-old head coach, and I had four players who were twenty-one," she recalled. She dealt with the situation in the best way she knew. "I was hard on them and myself and everyone around me. I thought I had to be. I thought that's how you commanded respect."
The first day of practice revealed the flaws in this single-minded approach. "I worked those prospects up and down the court, at full speed, for two solid hours," she wrote. "At the end of that, I ordered them to run a bunch of conditioning drills. I ran [them] in suicide drill after suicide drill. A group of four young ladies were running together. When they got to the end of the line, they just kept on running. They ran out the door and up the steps, and I never saw them again."
At least Summitt had players to lose. Other coaches were not so lucky. In 1975, Judy Rose she scurried through her new duties—like most early women's basketball coaches she was expected to teach P.E., organize intramurals and coach other sports as well—one of the first things she did was put up signs announcing an organizational meeting for the women's team. "I was so excited," she recalled.
The night of the meeting, however, few showed up. "I remember I went home to my apartment that night, and I was so depressed." One of the women who had hired her "called me at home that night, and she said: 'How did the meeting go?' " Rose continued, "And I said: 'It was awful.' And she said: 'Well, what happened?' I said: 'We only had eight people.' She said: 'That's wonderful!'And I knew I was in trouble."
Rose met with a similar response when she tried to draw spectators to her games. In one promotional effort, she wrote letters to the city's high school and junior high girls' basketball coaches, offering them free tickets to both men's and women's games. "I said: 'If you come to the women's game, I'll let you in the men's game free,' " she explained.
"I kept waiting for the replies," she said. "I never got a reply, never." She stayed perplexed until she ran into one of her supporters. "I said: 'You know I cannot believe that not one person has responded to my letter, not one.' She said: 'Who'd you send them to?' I said: 'Well, I just addressed it to "Women's Basketball Coach." ' . . . And she said: 'Uh, Judy, they don't have women's basketball in the junior high schools or the high schools in Charlotte.' I'm like: 'What?' There's nothing to recruit from. So, I mean, it was a rude awakening."
_Judy Rose, first_. COURTESY OF JUDY ROSE.
Judy Rose was far from alone. Outside of places such as Iowa, Texas or Mississippi, female players had few opportunities and limited support. Only the most die-hard players had pressed on. Most of those had never heard of Title IX.
Indiana was a prime example. Indiana boys' high school basketball, with its renowned state tournament, was the stuff of legend. But as in many states, physical educators' pressure had largely eliminated the girls' game. In the late 1950s, when a handful of high school teachers began a cautious revival, they purposely kept a low profile. "What we would do would be to ask a neighboring school to come over to an after-school basketball game," explained Pat Roy, who would later become the director of girls' a. "We'd have a volleyball game at noon and call the whole thing 'Sports Day.' Really we were there to play basketball."
"Nobody knew about it," she noted. "We weren't sure we wanted anybody to know about it because they probably would have said 'Stop.' "
The result was a culture in which young athletic women had to work hard to get respect. Twins Melissa and Melinda Miles learned this first-hand. The boys who played pickup games with them in their family's driveway could join teams as early as elementary school. The twins didn't get to play on one until the fall of 1973, their freshman year at Bloomfield High School. "Nobody thought basketball would amount to anything for us; it was just something to do as kids," Melissa explained. When she asked why boys had teams and girls didn't, her teachers replied, "This is the way it is."
"My dad would also talk about how boys are different, boys are better," she continued. "He was trying to get my goat, but in part he was trying to prepare me, that it's different for boys and girls."
The difference also came clear in the way the Miles's parents reacted to their sporting ambitions, as opposed to their brother's. "I remember asking my mom over dinner one night if I could try out for the high school basketball team," Melissa explained. "She just said, 'We'll see.' She didn't get that it was important to me. It wasn't a big deal. It was like my asking if I could join the Latin Club. But when Bill wanted to play, it was a big deal."
In upstate New York, future coach Tara VanDerveer had run into similar roadblocks. As a young girl, VanDerveer pursued basketball with a determined passion. When local boys left her out of playground pickup games, she saved up her allowance and bought the best basketball she could find. "If the boys wanted to use the ball, they had to take me with it," she noted. But she had little encouragement. "My father couldn

WHEREAS, in 1915, prior to the Genocide, there were more than 2,000,000 Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. They constituted a distinct population on their own historic lands. The Armenians had been living on the same lands, near historic Mt. Ararat, for more than three millennia. They had developed a culture which had produced a rich legacy of manuscripts, art, literature, architecture and music; and
WHEREAS, seeking to expand their own empire, as well as to forcibly eliminate the centuries-old Armenian culture, the Ottoman Turkish government began the Genocide with the forced conscription into the army of able-bodied men. The men were soon killed outright. The women and children faced a more tortuous and uncertain future. They were ordered to march, with no possessions, water or food from their homes in the spring and summer of 1915. This deportation succeeded in eliminating more than sixty percent of the Armenian population. A slow death by starvation and exposure to the elements followed for most of the Armenians. They were forced to march to the desert where they were left to die; and

Depending on who they are, consumers, authors, publishers, and booksellers all are focused on the benefits of the lowest price or the greatest revenue return, a balance of interests that can never satisfy everyone. The notion that because e-books do not have to be “manufactured” they can be cheaper has some validity, but there is already a reasonable pricing menu for books, the difference between hardcovers and paperbacks. Downloaded audiobooks also can be cheaper than those that need to be to be packaged and shipped. Applying the movie model to books again, each system of delivery should have its own pricing formula, giving consumers the final choice of what they want.

The B764s are definitely the next aircraft to be modded with the D1 Suites and the PS cabins starting this winter. I wonder whether the mods will be done at HAECO at HKG, which DL has previously used for the B763ERs mods a few years ago?
Is the idea behind this that they do not want to schedule it on routes and disappoint customers who think they will get the new D1 suite and end up with the old seat. Rather as acting as a sub you will delight some pax who expect the old product and feel lucky enough to get the new product?
I'm curious...is Delta having Maintenance done @ LHR on the A330 fleet,if so who's doing it for them ?I notice you have an A333 went LHR-JFK after maintenance exit...
Makes sense that Virgin did it as they're basically partners....why are they parking a A330 for an entire year seeing as they're basically maxed out on widebody aircrafts ?
The 23rd. Something to do with engine inspections to be carried out. Is there something going on with the GE engines that require an inspection?

Bunch of medallions (and obviously paid F customers) lucked out on that one!
