Pinot Noir pairs well with all kinds of cuisine

Maui, Hawaii (PRWEB) February 22, 2012

The richness and diversity of some of the best California Pinot Noirs will be featured when Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea hosts four top vintners from Anthill Farm Wineries, Brewer-Clifton, Costa de Oro and Patz & Hall at the June 7-9, 2012 weekend of palate-satisfying events at Maui’s only AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five Star resort.

The three-day event, “Four Pinots at Four Seasons Resort Maui,” will include seminars hosted by Master Sommeliers Roberto Viernes and Chuck Furuya, with open format tastings of two wines from each winemaker each session; exclusive wine-pairing dinners, each featuring one winery held at each of the resort’s award-winning restaurants—Ferraro’s, Spago Maui and DUO, with a fourth dinner taking place locally. Guest participants have a choice of dinners to attend.

Guests also can take part in the Saturday golf tournament at the Wailea Emerald Course followed by lunch at Gannon’s – a Pacific View restaurant. The tournament will honor the Kimberly Project, a vineyard planted in honor of Vintner Greg Brewer’s cousin, who lost her life at a young age. All proceeds from the vineyard’s production each year—and from tournaments like this one—benefit the North County Rape Crisis and Child Protection Center (Santa Barbara County).

The event culminates in a gala oceanfront wine dinner created by the resort’s Master Executive Chef Roger Stettler, featuring 32 specially- selected Pinot Noirs and eight Chardonnays. Local “farm to table” cuisine takes center stage with Maui local produce being displayed and personally presented by area farmers who will talk about their products and farming methods. Fishermen will display and talk about their ‘fresh catches’ and the process of quickly going from sea to table.

“We are pleased to offer guests—wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike–the opportunity to meet with and learn from four of California’s premier winemakers about the heritage, traditions and production of many acclaimed Pinots and Chardonnays,” says Mark Simon, marketing director, Four Seasons Resort Maui. “We were also touched by how this close-knit group of winemakers has come together around the Kimberly Project; we’re pleased to support this very worthy cause.”

Ticket prices for the various Four Pinots at Four Seasons Resort Maui Wine Events begin at $ 98 per person. The resort concierge team will be able to discuss and customize a wine itinerary for attendees. For information, call 808.874.2201.    

Unforgettable Events: This event is one in a series of the resort’s Unforgettable Events, hosted over the course of the year to provide guests with one-of-a-kind opportunities in the fields of sports, wellness, and culinary and wine. Among the upcoming events are Fantasy Tennis Camp, Maui Cycling Camp, and the Wailea Food and Wine Festival during which the celebrated Red Violin – and its owner – will visit Four Seasons Resort Maui and perform a private concert.

Crescent City, CA (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

The vagueness of laws governing the use of medical marijuana in California has resulted in a patchwork of local regulations and tensions with federal regulators. The confusion has prompted activists to search for a way to improve California medical cannabis regulations. Medical marijuana attorney Chris Van Hook proposes using 3 existing frameworks for regulating marijuana, depending on its intended use: pharmaceutical, herbal, or food/industrial.

Van Hook, founder of the Clean Green Certified medical marijuana inspection program, points out medical cannabis is used in a few distinct ways. Cannabis-based drugs like Sativex are prescribed by doctors in Europe and Canada as an actual medicine, and although they are not available in the US at this time, Van Hook believes there is a large potential market here. Patients also use cannabis as an herbal remedy to relieve various ailments by inhaling, vaporizing, eating or using cannabis tinctures. Finally, cannabis is taken as a dietary supplement/food/fiber crop.

“Each of these methods of use is legitimate and the uses are not exclusionary; in fact, they should be recognized and further developed,” says Van Hook.

The California medical cannabis compliance lawyer says pharmaceutical cannabis will most likely always be grown indoors. There will be very specific patentable strains producing patentable compounds that will help in the very specific manner for which they have been tested and developed. Regulatory standards for cleanliness, dosage standardization labeling and prescribing will be thoroughly developed, as they should be for that particular market.

“The expansion of this market will increase the number of people who will become more comfortable with cannabis. This in turn will increase the number of patients who will become comfortable with the other regulatory categories of cannabis—herbal remedies and food/fiber crops,” he explains.

Cannabis used in herbal remedies will come from both the indoor- and outdoor-grown cannabis production models. The regulatory constraints of herbal remedies are much less burdensome than the pharmaceutical regulations, and their use need not be prescribed by a doctor. Examples of this type of use include edibles, falling under existing food regulations; in pill form, similar to garlic pills or fish oil pills; in tincture form, like Echinacea; or inhaled in a manner similar to aromatherapy, where herbs and plants that are burned and the smoke is inhaled to clear nasal systems or to break up colds. The smoke may be inhaled or the plant matter vaporized to reduce the smoke intake.

“Under this regulatory framework there need not be any medical proof that it is working; there only need be the patient determining that it is helping them,” notes Van Hook. He says this largest category of use does not require the strict regulations applied to pharmaceuticals. The agricultural standards for the production, field handling, and manufacturing/processing of herbal remedy crops are already in place and successfully used to regulate the multi-billion dollar herbal products industry.

Cannabis as a food and fiber agricultural crop will almost exclusively come from outdoor cannabis production, which can support the larger volumes of cannabis required for the developing juicing methods, hemp fiber and dietary oils from seed production. Existing agricultural production, field handling and food processing regulations are already in place to produce and market raw fresh wheatgrass juice to consumers, and these regulations could easily be adapted for cannabis juicing, says Van Hook.

He says by properly placing the different ways that medical cannabis is used into the appropriate existing regulatory frameworks of: pharmaceutical, herbal remedy, and food and fiber crops, California will 1) widen and expand the market for all cannabis uses 2) help assure that the agricultural and small farm component of the industry is not overburdened by pharmacological standards and regulations, and 3) more accurately describe the regulatory frameworks each use of cannabis should be in.

“By expanding the regulatory categories cannabis can operate under, each category’s growth would enhance and support the other two. Each developing use would have clear regulatory guidelines that are already in place. Each category of participant could then be buoyed by the success of the other two categories and friction between the different types of uses would be minimized,” Van Hook concludes.

About Clean Green Certified

Clean Green Certified, an independent third-party medical cannabis certification program created by attorney Chris Van Hook, is an agricultural process review and certification program based on the non-use of synthetic chemical fertilizers and sprays, and the building of consumer confidence that their agricultural products are produced in manner that is both healthy and safe for the environment. Their California medical marijuana quality control programs also include Best Practices certification, which allows the limited and responsible use of synthetic chemical fertilizers, and compliance with Mendocino County Code 9.31 (the medical cannabis cultivation regulation ordinance).

Clean Green’s expert legal team also provides services that include: medical cannabis expert witness testimony; on-site inspections; medical cannabis compliance for growers and for handlers/processors/dispensaries; formation of grower collectives and nonprofit corporations; commercial leases; product licensing; contracts and real property issues; administrative law; and permit assistance and acquisition.

Provo, UT (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

In November 2011, Big Statues began production of a small series of bronze-statue awards to be given to companies that showed a long-term commitment to the National No-Tillage Conference and the no-till farmer. Syngenta Crop Protection and its advertising agency, Gibbs & Soell, were the first recipients of this statue for its 20-year involvement and sponsorship in the National No-Till Conference.

The 20th-annual conference, organized by No-Till Farmer magazine and Lessiter Publications, was held Jan. 11-14 in St. Louis, Mo.

No Till Farmer and its sister publication, Conservation Tillage Guide, are properties of Brookfield, Wis.-based Lessiter Publications, which publishes several national magazines in the agriculture, equine and sports industries. The family-owned company celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, and No-Till Farmer celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2011.

No Till Farmer’s mission is to provide helpful tips and information for farmers interested in reducing tillage and improving the sustainability and profitability of their farms. Alice Musser, conference manager for Lessiter, commissioned Big Statues to sculpt “Oscar-like” miniature bronze sculpture awards to be given to sponsors demonstrating high levels of involvement and support with the NNTC.

The “No-Till Farmer” statue stands at 14 inches tall and is a bronze replicate of a farmer, kneeling in his crops, and holding a scoop of soil in his hands. The pose is inspired from an iconic front cover of Conservation Tillage Guide published in February 2011 — an image that is a perfect portrayal of the humble and dedicated workers in agricultural companies across America.

These bronze sculpture awards were presented Jan. 13, 2012 to Syngenta and Gibbs & Soell to show appreciation for their years of dedication and support for the conference. Lessiter Publications believes these statues will build pride and unity among organizations involved with the growth and success of no-till farming, and generate additional support for this effort.

Big Statues, located in Provo, Utah, is a custom bronze-sculpting company that serves clients throughout the world, and is honored to be able to create such noteworthy artwork with the wonderful people at Lessiter Publications.

With every piece of art, bronze sculptor Matt Glenn of Big Statues takes special care to recreate the individual spirit of a company and turns it into a tangible figure with amazing custom detail that can be appreciated by all.

San Francisco Bay Area Design and Branding Firm – Project6 Design

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

San Francisco Bay Area branding and design firm, Project6 Design, is pleased to continue its design and marketing materials work with solar industry innovator Silevo. The design firm has been hired to work on the Silevo’s 2012 trade show booth and additional marketing collateral design throughout the year.

Last year, Silevo retained Project6 Design to help introduce their brand and its unique solar cell technological innovations to the world. Formerly known as Sierra Solar Power, Silevo decided that they needed to completely re-brand as they moved out of corporate stealth mode and became a player in the highly competitive solar marketplace. They selected award-winning branding and design agency Project6 Design as a partner in these efforts.

Project6 Design’s unique process led Silevo through messaging and naming to polished brand in record time. They first focused upon learning as much as possible about the company, their target customers and how the solar cell technology was different. Then, through an intensive interview process with customers and management, established an overarching mood for how the company should be perceived moving forward. This led to the creation of a high-level positioning platform for the organization.

From there, the teams worked together to develop the new company name, “Silevo,” which alluded to the organization’s unique “silicon” usage and their “evolutionary” processes in creating solar cells, reinforcing in the solar industry that, “silicon + evolution = Silevo.” Once the naming was locked in, Project6 Design proceeded to create Silevo’s new logo, marketing collateral and website which included a content management system to allow the Silevo team to update content easily.

Silevo successfully came out of stealth mode in October of 2011 to rave reviews and high praise in the solar industry.

“Working with Project6 Design was perfect for what we wanted to accomplish in our re-branding efforts and coming out of stealth mode as an organization,” said Chris Beitel, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Silevo. “The agency was just the right size for us: small enough to get exceptional customer service, yet with over ten years of branding and design experience, they had the expertise to provide big agency results. Their creative and programming staff is amazing; they really think out of the box and understand how to engage our target audience in a clean and modern way.”

“Silevo is an exceptional client to work with and we are very excited to continue our partnership with Chris and his team into the New Year,” said Esten Sesto, president of Project6 Design. “Their innovations in solar cell technology are amazing and we’ll be doing our best to help their brand to shine in their upcoming trade shows and solar industry events. We have received wonderful feedback for the all the branding and design work we did together with Silevo.”

About Silevo, Inc.

Silevo, Inc., formerly known as Sierra Solar Power, was founded on the principal that technical innovation can evolve silicon-based cells and modules to both increase performance and lower costs. The company was founded in 2007 by leading executives and innovation engineers from the semiconductor industry with the business strategy of combining U.S.-based headquarters and R&D facilities with scalable, automated, low cost manufacturing operations in Hangzhou, China. Silevo’s unique technology and a low cost operations model aligns with its mission to transition today’s subsidized PV market into a self-sustaining future that furthers widespread solar adoption.

London (PRWEB UK) 20 February 2012

SkyDox, a leading provider of cloud-enabled file sharing, file synchronization, file storage, and collaboration tools, announced today that it has successfully completed the Government Procurement Service vendor tender process of the G-Cloud initiative and has been awarded a “Framework Agreement for the Provision of G-Cloud Services.”

Under the terms of the agreement, SkyDox is eligible and fully accredited to provide SaaS-based services to any public sector organisation, including local authorities and government departments. The company was awarded the accreditation after completing a rigorous 500-point review of all aspects of its cloud-enabled file sharing, file synchronization, file storage, and collaboration platform. The review covered commercial and technical due diligence that included security, availability, and support organisation as well as its service functionality footprint.

With the coalition government setting out severe and comprehensive spending cuts of 20%, the use of cloud-based infrastructure and services across government organisations is more relevant than ever. SkyDox’s software as a service platform leverages a secure, shared infrastructure that can be provisioned and scaled as required, saving government departments and constituent public sector organizations money as well as helping to improve the productivity of the public sector workforce. The “G-Cloud strategy” will support everything, including data center infrastructures, shared email solutions, collaboration tools, document sharing, and customer service tools.

It is predicted that by 2015, 80% of government departments could be using various aspects of the G-Cloud. SkyDox is well-positioned to become part of the internal “government app store” which will allow its service to be easily shared and distributed amongst government departments. Its service allows users to securely share and collaborate with external parties without incurring any additional costs. This is particularly relevant as most public sector organisations deal with a vast array of suppliers, partners, service users, and other departments.

The feature-rich SkyDox application goes beyond the basic file sharing and collaboration services offered by other tools. It enables users to co-author and manage files while working from the office, remotely, and through mobile devices. It also delivers a range of social business tools such as activity feeds, presence indicators, online meetings, and dynamic alerts for when materials are uploaded or modified and when new comments are posted.

SkyDox allows users to assign folder and document level access rights and permissions to prevent confidential files from being downloaded or passed on to another party without authorization. The ability to track file access and viewing at a page level also allows users to determine if and when the document was opened, with whom it was shared, and which pages attracted the most interest.

Ali Moinuddin, CMO at SkyDox, commented, “SkyDox is very pleased to be able to actively participate in the new G-Cloud community and leverage its expertise in delivering public sector services to meet their very particular requirements. SkyDox delivers highly cost effective file sharing, file synchronisation, and collaboration tools, making it easy to securely store, share, and access files from any browser-enabled device.”

About SkyDox

Founded in 2009, SkyDox is a cloud-enabled file sharing, file synchronisation, file storage, and collaboration platform. It delivers a suite of online, mobile, and desktop-based tools to enable real-time, simultaneous document-centric collaboration. SkyDox allows users to review, comment on, search, store, deliver, manage, and collaborate on over 200 file formats on a single cloud-based platform that is intuitive and easy to use. With SkyDox, users can collaborate on content with company team members, customers, suppliers, and business partners using any browser-enabled PC, laptop, or mobile device. SkyDox provides a scalable, highly secure, enterprise-grade platform that can be configured as a private, hybrid, or public cloud to meet customer and compliance requirements.

Our intent in publishing it is to give IT organizations a starting point for identifying a ‘short list’ of product selections, based on their specific applications, platforms, and management challenges.”

The results identify key capabilities and highlight characteristics that are summarized in a detailed market map and Radar Chart. This format makes it simple to see how vendors measure up in terms of capabilities, as well as against other vendors.

The following criteria were the major factors used to evaluate APM solutions:

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

Polaris Marketing Research Inc. announced today the findings of its latest survey of online Americans, supported by Research Now for data collection and analysis: Women respondents perceive themselves to be significantly more stressed than men.

All 1,206 respondents were asked to rate themselves on a 10-point “stress scale,” where 10 was “very stressed,” and 1 was “not at all stressed.” Women respondents’ mean stress rating was 5.34, while male respondents’ mean stress rating was 4.82.

Further, while men were more likely to rate their stress levels “about the same” as a year ago, women were more likely to say their stress is lower than a year ago.

“Interestingly, we should all be envious of the over 65 crowd, with their significantly lower stress ratings than any other age group,” said Polaris President Jan Carlson

“Not only are they less stressed than any other age group, they are more likely to believe their stress levels are unchanged from twelve months ago. Compare that to the under 50s who rate their stress levels as significantly more stressed, but increasing from a year ago, “ continued Carlson.
