Chardonnay vs Sauvignon Blanc: What’s the Difference?

Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are arguably the two most popular white wines in the world. They’re both very widely grown and sold- you will probably be able to find both of them in every store that sells wine, and in every restaurant that sells wine. However, the two wines being produced from green-skinned grapes and popular is almost where the similarities end. Chardonnay is a full-bodied wine, made from a grape that is relatively neutral, taking on various flavors from both the terroir and the way that it is aged- or if it is aged at all. Sauvignon Blanc on the other hand is one of the oldest kinds of wine, as the grapes originate from South-West France. It is a light-bodied wine that has crisp and fresh flavors, with a noticeable acidic component to it.
The Chardonnay grape originates from Eastern France but is now grown in every winery region of the world. The Chardonnay grape is the main component in many different Champagnes, and much of the flavor of Chardonnay comes from the terroir- that is, the environmental factors that it was grown in. Chardonnay that is grown in a cooler climate typically has a more medium body, with a crisp and mineral flavor, often with notes of green fruits, such as green apples, pears, and green plums. In contrast to this, Chardonnay that is grown in warmer climates is much fruitier, with notes of peach, melon, and citrus fruits. This chardonnay also typically has a heavier body, owing to the higher levels of sugar in the grape at the time it was picked. Chardonnay that is grown in very warm climates, however, has positively tropical flavors like mango, fig, and even banana. Chardonnay can be made in almost any wine making style, making it one of the most diverse wines on the market. The most common two variants of Chardonnay production is whether the winemaker uses malofermatic fermentation which is the process of converting the tart malic acid into the more mellow lactic acid. This is done during the second fermentation in order to reduce the acidity of the wine and give the wine the tell-tale Chardonnay ‘butter’ flavors and texture. The other factor is how much the wine is given oak-influence, which affects the colour and tannic flavor profile of the wine. Chardonnay is one of the few white wines that has tannins- the naturally occurring bitterness found in stems, seeds, and skins of grapes. White wines, unlike reds, are fermented without these, making them much less tannic. Chardonnay gets its tannins from the oak barrels that are used in the wine making process. It is also one of the few white wines that are appropriate for aging- although certainly not all Chardonnay is. If you want an aged Chardonnay, or even to do it yourself, ensure that you find one that is a high quality, oak barreled wine that has a high level of natural acidity. The acidity is what will help the wine to survive the aging process, and the oak barrel provides valuable tannins that will mellow out over the course of time. As mentioned, Chardonnay is extremely versatile as a grape and a wine, owing to the various influences and methods of production. This means that pairing Chardonnay with food can be as easy as it can be complicated. It is most commonly served with white meat such as chicken and turkey, but is especially good if the meat is roasted, as it brings out extra flavor to stand up to the wine. If your Chardonnay is oaked then it will pair well with Asian style food and smoked fish. The bold flavors of these foods will overpower a non-oaked Chardonnay, and most other white wines- but will be very difficult to match with red wine, making Chardonnay the perfect choice.
Sauvignon Blanc originates from Southwest France, gaining popularity in the Bordeaux Region. It is grown in many different wine regions across the world, including South America with Chile and Brazil, the United States and Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and more. Like many wines, the flavors of Sauvignon Blanc are greatly affected by the terroir (the environment that it was grown in), most recognizably, the climate in which it was grown. Sauvignon Blanc grown in a cooler climate can be positively grassy, with notes of nettles, green bell peppers, and floral notes such as elderflower. Cooler climate Sauvignon Blanc can be very acidic and crisp, sometimes expressed through tropical fruits such as passion fruit. In contrast to this, warmer climate Sauvignon Blanc becomes much more tropical, with suggestions of tree fruits, and much more heavily influenced by tropical fruits than its cooler counterpart. However, overripe Sauvignon Blanc loses a lot of its flavors and notes so many wine producers try to avoid this. Sauvignon Blanc, unlike Chardonnay, is usually produced in a relatively similar style across all wineries. Generally, it is fermented in large stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, done deliberately in order to maximize the potential of the grape. Something that does differ from region to region is the amount of time the grape is allowed to be in contact with its skin. Some regions in France leave a small percentage of the skins prolonged exposure to the grape throughout the production process, which gives the wine more natural acidity. In contrast to this, in the United States the skins are removed as quickly as possible in order to allow the wine to age better. Despite this, Sauvignon Blanc is not a wine that is made for vintage. It’s properties are not fit for long term aging, only so as appropriate for a maximum of 3-5 years (depending on where it was made), and the wine was made to be drunk young, so don’t try to age it. Sauvignon Blanc pairs very well with delicate and light dishes, such as white fish, salads, sandwiches. It also works very well with dishes that have a lot of herbs and spices in them, such as a pesto. It can also contrast very well with creamy dishes like chicken alfredo. What’s the Difference Between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc? The differences between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are the flavor profile, the method of fermentation, and the body of the wine. They pair with different foods, and while they can hold similar properties dependent on the climate that the grapes were grown in they rarely cross paths. Chardonnay is a heavy and hearty white wine, whereas Sauvignon Blanc is much lighter and crisper. Sauvignon is made to be drunk young, and Chardonnay can be aged for a few years- especially if it is fermented in oak barrels. The two can both be paired with similar food though. Their distinct flavor profiles mean that Chardonnay can pair congruently with creamy dishes, while a Sauvignon Blanc can complement it by cutting through the creaminess and making a contrasting but delightful pairing. Pairing wine with food can be an intimidating start but there are a few tricks to help you on your way. The fundamental difference between Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc is that they are different types of wine- meaning that they have very different properties and styles of fermentation.

UN Report: Many More Zimbabwean Health Workers Could Emigrate
A United Nations report says two-thirds of Zimbabwe's remaining health care workers intend to leave the country, pointing to a bleaker future for a national health system that is already overburdened by the demands of the HIV-AIDS pandemic.
The report from the United Nations Population Fund said 68% of health professionals still living and working in Zimbabwe want to emigrate. Already, 11% of doctors and 43% of nurses have emigrated seeking better pay and working conditions.
The state-appointed Health Services Board said the country’s five major hospitals are operating with 36 senior doctors where 145 were needed and 72 specialists instead of the 189 required. It said 44% of senior nursing positions, 88% of primary care nurse openings and 89% of lab technician positions were unfilled as of late 2005.
The Population Fund said the exodus has hurt the fight against HIV-AIDS.
Harare has established an “intellectual desk” in the Ministry of Higher Education in the aim of stemming the brain drain in medicine and other professions. It proposes to lure professionals back on a short-term basis in medicine, mining, education, engineering and other fields. But health experts have called this an exercise in futility.
An opposition spokesman on health, Dr Henry Madzorera, said that unless Harare addresses the economic crisis, medical specialists will continue to migrate.
Dr Samukheliso Dube, a Zimbabwean doctor now living and working in South Africa, told reporter Blessing Zulu of VOA's Studio 7 for Zimbabwe that the Population Fund's projection of a 68% emigration rate might in fact be conservative.

Libel tourism, online defamation and multiple publication
In the UK, the Ministry for Justice has just begun a consultation process seeking views on the “multiple publication rule” at common law under which each publication of defamatory material can form the basis of a new defamation claim, and in particular on the effects of this rule in relation to online archives. If this rule is reformed, then a major plank of the libel tourism phenomenon, by which London has become the libel capital of the Western world and home to libel actions that have little to do with its jurisdiction, will quite properly have been removed (see BBC | ComputerWorld | Greenslade | Guardian | Index on Censorship Free Speech blog | Information Overlord | OUT.law | Slaw | TechWatch | Times Online).
The multiple publication rule was established in Duke of Brunswick v Harmer (1849) 14 QB 185 (already discussed on this blog), reaffirmed in Loutchansky v Times Newspapers [2002] QB 783, [2001] EWCA Civ 1805 (05 December 2001), and upheld by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Times Newspapers Ltd (Nos 1 and 2) v the United Kingdom Applications 3002/03 and 23676/03, [2009] ECHR 451 (10 March 2009). However, it seems to have been excised from Irish law by section 11 of the new Defamation Act, 2009, which provides
Multiple publication
11.—(1) Subject to subsection (2), a person has one cause of action only in respect of a multiple publication.
(2) A court may grant leave to a person to bring more than one defamation action in respect of a multiple publication where it considers that the interests of justice so require.
(3) In this section “multiple publication” means publication by a person of the same defamatory statement to 2 or more persons (other than the person in respect of whom the statement is made) whether contemporaneously or not.
This is not an easy section to parse; but it seems to me that two subsequent clicks on the same internet archive article constitute “the same defamatory statement” to two persons, but not contemporaneously; and if this is right, then section 11 reverses the common law position. The UK consultation, in effect, then, is whether UK law should come into line with Irish law. The Ministry places this consultation in the context of a wider reform of defamation law currently underway, which includes the decriminalisation of seditious libel currently before Parliament, and a consultation earlier this year on controlling costs in defamation proceedings (update: more here). Moreover, it is plainly a response to the ECHR decision in the Times Newspapers, which, whilst upholding the multiple publication rule, nevertheless emphasised that
48. … while an aggrieved applicant must be afforded a real opportunity to vindicate his right to reputation, libel proceedings brought against a newspaper after a significant lapse of time may well, in the absence of exceptional circumstances, give rise to a disproportionate interference with press freedom under Article 10.
In other words, although the multiple publication rule still survives in the UK, it is not necessarily entirely compatible with free speech norms. From the webpage on the multiple publication consultation:
Defamation on the internet: Ministry of Justice seeks your views
A debate on aspects of defamation law, and how it works in the internet age, was launched today by the Ministry of Justice. Part of the law on defamation originates from the 1840s, long before the internet arrived and changed the way that opinions and comment are often communicated. Today’s consultation seeks views on specific issues that could interest anybody who posts or publishes on the internet, particularly those who maintain online archives. …
Jack Straw, Secretary of State for Justice, said:
… Freedom to hold and express opinions is a right that is vital to democracy, as is respect for the rights and freedoms of others. How these principles are balanced in the fast-changing internet age is a fascinating debate.
To encourage responses, there is a short list of 8 questions, to which my off-the-top-of-my-head answers are as follows:
1. The multiple publication rule in the UK should be abolished and replaced by a single publication rule, just as the new Irish Act has done.
2. If the multiple publication rule is retained, there should be a prime facie obligation to place a notice on an archive once the person responsible has been notified that the material is subject to defamation proceedings.
3. A single publication rule should be applicable to all defamation proceedings and not just those relating to online publications.
4. In the first instance, the primary remedy for a defamatory electronic publication should be an appropriate form of correction (ranging from an appended note to the effect that the article was subject to successful defamation proceedings to a full rewrite). Hence, existing voluntary regimes relating to the correction of inaccurate and misleading material should be given statutory protection. More than that, strong encouragement should be given to prompt apologies; of course, in principle, this should apply both online and offline, though more use is likely to made of it online.
However, since a book publisher may have defamatory books pulped, it follows that defamatory material in other forms should be prime facie amenable to similar orders. Hence, in the context of an electronic copy of defamatory material under the defendant’s control, if a correction would be insufficient to give appropriate protection to the plaintiff’s interests, then that electronic copy should be prima facie amenable to an order to remove or amend it. However, the fact that the material is in electronic form and can therefore be relatively easily deleted could lead too readily to an order to that effect; and just because it is easy to do doesn’t mean that it is the right thing to do. An order to this effect should not be routine or a matter of course; instead, every case must be carefully judged on its merits; and such an order should only be made where correction is judged insufficient.
Since someone who re-publishes a libel becomes independently responsible for the libel, there is no good reason why this should not also be the case for an online re-publisher. In other words, a single publication rule should only apply to accessing the original publication, rather than to a subsequent re-publication.
5. I would leave the development of the details of a single publication rule to the courts. The US approach relating to the single publication rule would be persuasive, but not necessarily binding. In particular, whether modification of online content should be regarded as a new publication is a matter of degree. I regularly tweak my blogposts to update them, correct errors spelling and grammar, or to amend or delete dead links. But they are still substantially the same posts, and their modifications do not change that.
6. I would not tamper with another aspect of the law of defamation (such as the defence of qualified privilege) simply to draw the sting of an unworkable multiple publication rule. That would be to have two illogical rules rather than one rational one. On the other hand, I would strengthen the position of ISPs under the innocent dissemination defence.
7. If the multiple publication rule is retained, the limitation period should be the same for both off-line and on-line publications (which is one year from the date of publication, with discretion to extend).
8. If a single publication rule is introduced, the limitation period should be the same for both off-line and on-line publications (one year from the date of publication, with discretion to extend). A limitation period based upon date of knowledge would in effect reintroduce the multiple publication rule by the back door.
Of course, I retain the right to change my mind once I have actually thought about these issues! :-)

Leaked photos of Berengere Krief Nude. The French actress poses completely Nude for private selfies and shows off her luscious body. Despite the fact that Berengere is not the most slender and attractive girl, these photos turned out to be very hot! Funny girl in funny photos!
Berengere Krief
Berengere Krief is a French comedian, she began acting at the age of 9 (in 1992) and continued throughout her schooling. From then on, she regarded theatre as a vocation.
In 2001, she passed her literary Baccalaureate and continued with a DEUG arts du spectacle at the University of Lyon 2, which she obtained in 2003. In Lyon, she plays in several plays including the Midsummer Night Dream where she meets Simon Astier with whom she will work between 2008 and 2010 on the series Hero Corp (the role of Britney, first love of the main character).

In 2003, she joined the Acting Studio in Lyon and continued to play in several plays.
In 2005 she decided to come to Paris where she continued the theatre by enrolling in the Academy Oscar Sisto. She will continue with other schools such as The One Man Show course and school.
She moved closer to the café théâtre Le Bout where she accepted a replacement in a children’s show. From then on, she joined the theatre team, where she held the cashier at night but also performed many shows, including Martin Leloup’s plays for young audiences – “Pierre et la princesse bewitched” (created for her by custom and for Yoann Chabaud, her accomplice to the roommates), “La princesse au petit pois dans la tête” – and adult shows such as “sit on the couch, I sharpen my knife” by Alexandre Delimoges. In June 2009, she performed for the first time her One Woman Show entitled My mother, my cat and Doctor House… directed by Yoann Chabaud.
She performed between Lyon and Paris (2 years at the Théâtre Le Bout in Paris from 2009 to 2011) then from May 2011, thanks to her meeting with Grégoire Dey, her co-author, she played at the Point comma, famous Parisian scene. During the summer of 2011, she met the authors of the series Bref, a short program on Canal+, and was hired to play the role of Marla.
My mother, my cat and Doctor House were originally composed of texts written by Christine Berrou, Jean-Marc Joachim (both authors and humorists) and Julie Dousset. Directed by Yoann Chabaud. In August 2009, the comedian Jérôme Daran offers him to meet his own director Grégoire Dey (also author for Nicolas Canteloup, Anthony Kavanagh…). They rewrote the show together and renamed it Bérengère Krief, whom she will play in 2012 at the Grand point comma (new and second room of the ” point comma “).
At the end of each performance, Berengère photographs his audience and then posts the photos on his Facebook page so that each spectator can tag himself.
She also did a stint at the show We do ask only to laugh on 29 September 2011.
In 2012 she made a show with Jamel Debbouze at the Marrakech of laughter.
In 2014, she appeared in the mini-series Les Tutos by Jérôme Niel, which aired in the Grand Journal on Canal+ in the episode of mini-sugars.
Since the beginning of the 2014 school year, she has also appeared as a columnist for the newspaper Le Point, under the heading “L’écume du jour” 1.
Between December 2014 and June 2015, Berengère made more or less regular appearances on the radio show Les Grosses Têtes by Laurent Ruquier on RTL.
In July 2018, she starred in the film L’école est fini, directed by Anne Depetrini.

Porn Set Free: Age Record Keeping Deemed Unconstitutional
Creators of porn websites have been set free of onerous confirmation of age record keeping laws, after the Unites States Court of Appeals found that the law requiring the keeping of these records was unconstitutional.
Previously, porn websites hosted in the United States had to keep records confirming that all performers shown on their sites were of a legal age. More recently there has been some suggestion that these requirements would be extended to all sites showing porn, potentially destroying sites such as YouPorn.com and Pornotube.com (both NSFW) who rely on user generated content and therefore would not have access to records.
A majority ruling of the Appeals Court found that “the purpose, and the legislative history of the statute make clear that Congress was concerned with all child pornography and considered record keeping important in battling all of it, without respect to the creator’s motivation” in that it impedes free speech rights.
Law.com notes that “the decision is a significant First Amendment ruling that directly implicates the controversial subjects of legal adult pornography and illegal child pornography.” For anyone in a Web 2.0 related porn business, it’s simply a sign that they have a future.

Refugees are people who are recognized as refugees under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, the 1969 Organization of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, people recognized as refugees in accordance with the UNHCR statute, people granted refugee-like humanitarian status, and people provided temporary protection. Asylum seekers - people who have applied for asylum or refugee status and who have not yet received a decision or who are registered as asylum seekers - are excluded. Palestinian refugees are people (and their descendants) whose residence was Palestine between June 1946 and May 1948 and who lost their homes and means of livelihood as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli conflict. Country of asylum is the country where an asylum claim was filed and granted.

Manor House in Malacky
About Manor House
Manor House Park
The stablishment of the park and construction of the manor house took place at the same time in the 17th century.The original French garden was turned into an English landscape garden at the turn of the 18th and 19 th century.
The area of the park was more than 39 hectares at the end of the 19th century. However, its area was reduced in the third quater of the 20th century due to the construction of the hospital and the road network. Today it is less than 30 hectares.
Three gates led to the park in the past. The Black Gate made of iron, which was connected by the tree-lined avenue to the Black Monastery, has been preserved. Above the main gate, there was a wrought-iron, later painted, Pálffy coat of arms. The White Gate was originally made from wood, and it is situated north of the manor house. It led to the park from erea of Malacky called Rádek. the smaller Red Gate, which is currently not in use, is situated south-east of the Black Gate. It led to the park from a farmstead. In addition to the gates, there were also several entrances for pedestrians.
Malina brook flowed through a small part of the park not far from the Black Gate. Today, it is hidden in a pipeline.
Apart from the manor house, the original buildings that still stand nowadays include only a gardener°s house and a concierge°s house at the Black Gate. The gardening area consisted of three small greenhouses, a large palm tree greenhouse with water jets and gardens.
There is still the lourdes cave from1934 with a statue of the Virgin Mary. Whenn the Pálffy family left, sports areas were built in the park. over the years some changes have taken place but they still exist today.
Park is open to the public, and is registered in the Central List of Cultural Monuments.

Longmire Was Just Cancelled In A Shocking Move By A&E
By Mack Rawden
Boasting almost five million viewers an episode and a pretty rabid fanbase, it was widely assumed Longmire would be auto-stamped for approval by A&E to film another season, but shockingly, the network decided to go in a different direction. Last night, the adaptation of Craig Johnson’s mystery novels was up and cancelled with little more than a short, overly professional statement. It deserved so much better.
According to Deadline, Warner Horizons, the studio that funds and produces Longmire is planning to try and sell the show to another network as soon as possible. Given the show’s excellent ratings (4.6 million per episode average), it’s likely someone else will take a bit if the price is right. It’s one thing to cancel a popular show with slumping ratings after it’s already been on the air for seven or eight years and has ballooned in cost. It’s another thing to cut a show down in its prime just because it’s off its Season 2 average (6.1 million).
There’s some speculation that the move is the result of a shift in behind the scenes strategies at A&E. Executives are allegedly pushing for more control over their programs and perhaps more importantly, a larger profit margin. As such, they supposedly want to focus on putting together projects they own, as well as air. That’s obviously the ideal in theory, but it’s hard to see why they couldn’t just phase in the plan as they start generating new content, as opposed to blowing it up and starting immediately, especially when it means bailing on hits.
Here’s the transcript of the official statement released by A&E…
“We would like to thank the phenomenal cast, crew and producers of Longmire, along with our partners at Warner Horizon, for their tireless work on three seasons of quality dramatic storytelling. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together.”
For those of you who don’t watch Longmire, I will be as vague as possible when talking about the character arc of the show. That being said, if you’re overly cautious, you may want to bail now.
Season 3 of Longmire ended with one of the lead characters possibly being straight up murdered. We don’t know for sure, but something really shady went down. Sometimes shows deliberately end on cliffhangers in order to nudge the network toward another season, but it’s hard to imagine that was actually the case here. As the highest rated scripted show (see: not Duck Dynasty) on A&E, the producers likely thought they would skate forward for a number of years without even worrying about their fates. In fact, it’s likely the biggest worry on their minds was the possibility of Katee Sackhoff getting too popular to carry forward with the show.
We’ll keep you updated on the fate of Longmire once it becomes clear whether or not another network is planning to bite. Until then, go to church and light a candle in Walt Longmire’s honor. He needs it right now.

D&C deliveryman rescues man who fell in his home
A 76-year-old man was hospitalized Sunday after he was rescued by his newspaper carrier in Wayne County.
Chris Kowalski, who delivers Democrat and Chronicle newspapers in Ontario, had noticed that a man on his home delivery route had not been retrieving his papers for several days.
Kowalski, 27, said that he knew that the man was an early riser who typically retrieved his newspaper shortly after delivery each morning.
When several newspapers piled up, Kowalski said he was concerned something was wrong and took action. He telephoned the man several times and, on Saturday, pounded on the door of the man's Ridge Road home without receiving a reply.
"Frequently, people go out of town and don't stop their paper," said Kowalski's supervisor Phil McDonald. "But Chris felt uncomfortable and had a gut feeling that something was wrong."
Kowalski called 911 Sunday morning and, along with McDonald, met a sheriff's deputy at the man's home.
According to Chief Deputy Steve Sklenar of the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, deputies on Sunday morning found that a 76-year-old man had fallen inside his home and was unable to get up. The man, whose name was not released, was taken to Rochester General Hospital for treatment, he said.
"This is why it is so important to be aware of what goes on in your community and to check on each other," Sklenar said. "We welcome the concerns like this and are glad to help."
Deputies did not share details of the man's injuries, but Kowalski said the man remained hospitalized as of Tuesday.
McDonald said he thought it was encouraging that at a time when many are stressed by a global pandemic, Kowalski "was looking out for others and was able to help someone in a time of need."
Kowalski said he was simply doing his job.
"There are a lot of alert people out there," he said. "You don't ignore things, especially during a pandemic. When you see something, you say something."
Kowalski, who is also an Ontario, Wayne County resident, has worked for the Democrat and Chronicle since August 2018. He works full time as a factory worker at Baldwin Richardson Foods in Wayne County.
Newspaper delivery runs in his family. His mother also works as a D&C newspaper carrier and has delivered newspapers for more than two decades, McDonald said. Several other relatives, including his stepfather and aunt, are also longtime newspaper carriers.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent,
ARGELIS MIRABAL, Appellant.
Mugglin, J.
Decided December 7, 2000.
Mercure, J.P., Crew III, Rose and Lahtinen, JJ., concur.
As a result of these convictions, defendant was sentenced to a determinate term of imprisonment of 12Â½ years for sodomy in the first degree, a concurrent term of three months on the conviction of sexual abuse in the third degree and a concurrent term of one year for endangering the welfare of a child.
The principal argument of defendant on this appeal is that the evidence presented at trial was legally insufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt the element of forcible compulsion required under the charge of sodomy in the first degree, and that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. "`Forcible compulsion'" is defined as compulsion either by "a. use of physical force; or b. a threat, express or implied, which places a person in fear of immediate death or physical injury" (Penal Law § 130.00 [8]). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People, as we must (see, People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620, 621; People v Nunez, 186 AD2d 317, lv denied 81 NY2d 765), we find the proof insufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant used physical compulsion to engage in deviate sexual intercourse as alleged in the indictment. Here, the prosecution's case consisted of two witnesses,
[278 A.D.2d 527]
the victim and her friend who observed her before and after the events in question.
With respect to the use of physical force, the victim testified that defendant placed his penis in her mouth and had his hands on the back of her head. The victim further claimed, without detailed elaboration, that she unsuccessfully attempted to stop the act. Although we recognize that corroboration is not necessary, the record does not contain any evidence to support the victim's contention that defendant used physical force to compel her to engage in the sexual act. The defense, on the other hand, presented several witnesses who claimed to have been told by the victim that no physical force was used and that she did not feel threatened in any way. Defendant, although admitting that the sexual act took place, denied the use of any physical force and in fact maintained that the victim initiated and perpetrated the sexual act, without resistance on his part.
We recognize that the trial court's determination and assessment...

Sean Connery and his camera
His work features at the National Portrait Gallery in London and is considered one of the great British photographers of our time. He gained renown documenting the fashions, styles, and celebrities of the 1960s, and for over six decades he has photographed the frontline of fame, from the greats of screen and stage, to presidents, prime ministers and rock stars.
Terry O'Neill's photographs display his knack for capturing his subjects candidly, or in unconventional settings, and is one of the great recorders of 20th century celebrity. He was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary medal 'in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography' in 2011.
No other living photographer has embraced the span of fame, capturing the icons of our age from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse, from Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot to Nicole Kidman, as well as every James Bond from Sean Connery up to Pierce Brosnan.
He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when they were still struggling young bands in 1963, pioneered backstage reportage photography with David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry and his images have adorned historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers.
Terry O'Neill still mixes with many of the stars that he photographed in their prime. Perhaps this explains how he achieved such access - he was often as good a friend as he was a photographer.
The beginnings:
Terry O'Neill began his career working in a photographic unit for an airline at London's Heathrow Airport. During this time, he photographed a sleeping figure in a waiting area whom, by happenstance, was revealed to be Britain's Home Secretary. O'Neill thereafter found further employment on Fleet Street with The Daily Sketch in 1959. His first professional job was photographing Laurence Olivier.
His reputation grew during the 1960s. In addition to photographing the decade's show-business elite such as Judy Garland, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, he also photographed members of the British Royal Family and prominent politicians, showing a more natural and human side to these subjects than had usually been portrayed before. Becoming good friends with Michael Caine and Richard Burton propelled O’Neill instantly to unique access to more stars, including the introduction of Elizabeth Taylor to David Bowie, creating a series of classic photographs. O’Neill spent his evenings at London’s Ad Lib Club where designers, photographers, actors and musicians spent time together discussing ideas. His long term relationship with academy award winner Faye Dunaway and friendship with the stars set’s Terry O’Neill apart.
As Terry O’Neill has said, “The Sixties was an incredible time. Young people took over, creating their own cultural landscape on stage, in music, fashion and on the film set. I was lucky. Seriously lucky. I was in the right place at the right time. But I never realized then that we were remaking the world in our own image – or that mine would become such a testament to the time. And the freedom I was given, on film sets, backstage and just rubbing shoulders with my mates who became these icons, simply isn’t allowed to photographers today. Now image is everything; the stars are brands and their managements control access and publication, so we never get to see them as they really are at work, rest or play.”

As COP18 gets underway, Qatar University unveils biofuel research progress
Doha News Team
As world leaders convene in Doha for the UN Climate Change conference, COP18, which began today, Qatar University (QU) has revealed details of its research into an environmentally-friendly fuel designed for use in the aviation industry.
It’s the sort of good news Qatar needs as it comes under the inevitable global scrutiny that such a conference brings.
Working in collaboration with Qatar Airways and the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), QU researchers have developed a biofuel based on single-celled organisms (cyanobacteria and microalgae) that are unique to Qatar.
These organisms grow well in Qatar’s extreme heat, strong sunlight and highly saline waters. When fully grown, fat is extracted from them to make the fuel, which is being specifically designed for aircraft.
Qatar produces nearly 50 tons of carbon dioxide a year for each of its 1.8 million residents, leading environmental campaign group WWF to name Qatar as the country with the largest ecological footprint in the world.
This is why this new fuel – which recycles Co2 rather than pumps it back into the atmosphere – is of such interest to the government.
So far, the research team has been growing the organisms in 1,500-liter outdoor tanks at QU’s research farm in Al Khor. Having grown them successfully for six weeks, they will now carry out a trial in 25,000 liter, specially-designed outdoor research ponds.
Biofuels Project Director Dr. Malcolm Potts explains:
“There is a real push for fuel derived from organisms living on the planet – biofuels. The problem is that in many countries arable land is used for growing them. What we are doing here is working with photosynthetic micro-organisms which can be grown anywhere, and which are particularly suitable to the environment of Qatar. We are trying to develop a biofuel industry here in Qatar, using new technologies not found anywhere else in the world.”
Qatar Airways has long been keen to utilize alternative fuel sources, which will help it reduce the airline’s carbon footprint and its costs simultaneously.
In 2010, it conducted the world’s first commercial passenger flight using a Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) fuel blend. GTL fuel is derived from natural gas, which although still a fossil fuel, is a “cleaner burn”, meaning that it will reduce the airline’s emissions significantly.
Qatar’s hosting of COP18 is not without its critics, but Abdullah Bin Hamad Al-Attiyah, Qatar’s deputy prime minister and the conference president, insists Qatar is committed to bringing about real environmental change:
“We hope the conference will produce tangible results and reinforce international cooperation”, he told Al Jazeera. “Qatar is also one of the 10 developing countries predicted to be most affected by rising sea levels. Environmental sustainability is a key pillar of our national vision.”
However, Jamie Henn, co-founder of the environment campaign group 350.org, sees things differently:
“It is hard to avoid the irony of Qatar hosting the event,” he says. “This is a little bit like McDonald’s hosting a conference on obesity. If anything, it shines a bit more spotlight on Qatar and on the steps that can be taken to address the problem.”
