Throughout the ‘80s and ‘90s scientific research is moving at an ever-increasing pace, placing a new set of demands on scientists. Keeping up with the momentum, Eppendorf remains at the forefront of innovation, selling its millionth pipette in 1981. However, reduced assay volumes and increased sample throughput are characteristic of this time period, requiring novel developments in liquid handling.
Eppendorf, as ever, is quick to respond, expanding its portfolio to support rapid, accurate dispensing of assay reagents and compounds while maintaining user-comfort at higher workloads. The highly successful Eppendorf Reference® 4910 was released in 1994, redefining Eppendorf’s already high standards. Not only was this the world’s first fully autoclavable pipette, but its unique design and technology concept combined unbeatable precision and accuracy with low failure rates and high durability. But what happens when technology evolves and single-channel pipettes aren’t the best tool for the job?
In the early 1950’s, an influenza epidemic in Hungary led to a shortage of test tubes, which resulted in scientists being unable to perform essential virus and serum titrations. In response, Hungarian physician, and inventor Dr. Gyula Takátsy, hand machined 6 rows of 12 “wells” out of plexiglass producing the very first microtiter plate and thereby facilitating the continuation of diagnostic testing1. Despite wanting to patent his design, the Hungarian authorities failed to recognize its significance and consequently, rejected Takátsy’s patent. However, across the globe in America, John Liner had devised a similar panel with 96-wells and pursued manufacture with a lot more success2.
Interestingly, the Takátsy method gained international popularity when firms abroad heard about it through Hungarian refugees in 19563. However, while the first moulded 96 well microplates were brought to market in the US in the ‘50s, it wasn’t until 1966 that production began in Europe. By the 1990s numerous variations of microplates were available, differentiated by their well number, shape, size, profile, material and filter technology2. It was at this time that the ability to rapidly dispense assay reagents and compounds using single-channel pipettes became the bottleneck to sample processing.
Launched in 1993, the Eppendorf Titerman 4908, offered researchers the solution. With the ability to synchronously dispense up to 12 reagents at one time, the Eppendorf Titerman multi-channel became the natural counterpart to the microplate. Reducing 96 pipetting steps to just 8, the multi-channel pipette has an impressive impact on time savings and laboratory productivity, all while maintaining accuracy.
The growth of disciplines such as drug discovery and the development of techniques in serological testing, immunological assays, high-throughput screening and PCR have continued to expand the use of microplates over recent decades. Concomitantly, Eppendorf has consistently responded to meet the latest needs of laboratory personnel. Microplates with 384 wells are routinely used in modern laboratories, necessitating a larger multi-channel pipette to streamline performance. Eppendorf 16- and 24-channel pipettes allow users to process complete columns or rows in just one step.
While multi-channel pipettes have provided the solution to efficient liquid handling when working with microplates, the need to move samples between different vessel formats with uneven spacing configurations (e.g. between tubes and plates) remained a challenge. Although single channel pipettes could be used, in practice this process is inefficient, tedious and error prone. Have you ever loaded a 384-well plate with a single channel pipette? The launch of the Eppendorf Move It® series in 2020 specifically addresses this problem, allowing the user to easily adjust the tip spacing and thus significantly accelerate and simplify the workflow when frequent format changes are required.
Although pipettes began as rather simple tools, with the expansion of scientific methods comes a need for diversification and development. No matter where scientific evolution takes us, Eppendorf has shown it will change with the times, providing simple but reliable solutions to complex liquid handling problems. Like Albert Einstein once said, "the measure of intelligence is the ability to change".

In Search of Adam
A taut and beautifully written debut novel by an exciting and accomplished new author.
Motherless, rootless and unprotected, Jude Williams’ childhood is fractured by the horror and experience of sexual abuse, forcing her to exist somewhere and nowhere in-between childhood and adulthood. Caught within the limitations of her own language and trapped within a family secret, Jude becomes the consequence of her mother’s tragedy. As she moves through the 1980s, Jude’s life is buffeted by choice and destiny and she collects experiences that layer her personal tragedy and plunge her into the darkest of worlds.
I have been a fan of Caroline Smailes’ work since I first picked up one of her novels in my less than bountiful local library about a year ago. This month, I got round to reading In Search of Adam, her first novel and I am not being over dramatic when I say it blew me away. I could not put my Kindle down.
Jude Williams is basically abandoned aged only six. Her mother dies and her father cares about beer and his new girlfriend more than his daughter. As if this wasn’t enough, she is forced to undergo the further hell of sexual abuse at the hands of her neighbour’s brother and Smailes spares no details. This is something that has to be said and it’s put across in a harrowing, horrific way which is the only way it should be. There’s bravery in this writing which is seldom seen, most writers would shy away from being graphic and literal about the abuse Jude suffers but Smailes puts it out there and makes it real. This is truly commendable.
Smailes casts an array of characters who Jude watches from her bedroom window or meets in school but none of them get close to her. She remains isolated and alone carrying around the double burden of the loss of her mother and the sexual abuse she has suffered. As the novel progresses we learn why Jude’s mother killed herself and the secrets in her past and how these impact upon Jude’s father and most painfully Jude herself.
Much of the strength of this novel comes from its unconventional format, words made bold or repeated incessantly are integral to feeling and seeing Jude’s pain. To say I enjoyed this book would be the wrong word but I think it was an essential read conveying serious, traumatic issues in a genuine way without frills or pussy-footing. A triumph.

Welcome to the Mock Organization Diary for the Cleveland Indians in the 2012 Minorleagueball.com Community Mock Draft. The Indians are in a different position from last year not picking until pick 15 and probably out of the running for the elite talents in the draft. Given the new restrictions on bonuses, will that alter the path GM Chris Antonetti has taken in recent years?
Cleveland only has their own picks in the first three rounds and will be picking in the middle of each round.
Round 1 - Pick 15
Round 2 - Pick 19 (#79 Overall)
Round 3 - Pick 15 (#110 Overall)
In the past couple of years the Indians could take an approach where they could maximize the values of their picks by going over slot to sign premium talent but given the new bonus rules they may need to change that strategy unless they are willing to risk paying a luxury tax or even losing a future pick. Given their total number of picks in the first ten rounds (10) and position of each pick the Indians will have $4,582,900 to spend on bonuses. This is nearly $2 million less than what was spent in the first 10 rounds in 2011.
The last three years the Indians have somewhat shaken their label as being conservative in the draft spending $2.25 million or more on all of their first round picks culminating in $5 million being paid out to their top three picks last year (Francisco Lindor $2.9MM, Dillon Howard $1.85MM, and Jake Sisco $0.35MM). This could have been a preemptive action given that it was the last draft without bonus restrictions or it could show strategy for the second year GM Antonetti. Given the spending limits now in place there is likely to be a sharp drop-off in total money spent in bonuses overall but how it is distributed between the picks could vary widely.
Regardless of how the bonus money will be paid out the Indians will have to be flexible with their draft strategy. The high end players of the draft board are unlikely to be there at pick 15 and unlike last year there isn't as deep of a talent pool to expect multiple options. Players who were rated highly going into the season but have questions surrounding them like Lucas Giolito, Deven Marrero, and Stephen Piscotty could fall here or prospects that have moved up as the season progressed such as Marcus Stroman and Courtney Hawkins could be worth a look. Cleveland's system has an interesting mix of lower ceiling but close to MLB ready pitching talent and high risk high reward youngsters at A ball and below and a variety of positions but especially up the middle(John's preseason list) so they could have the luxury of taking the best player available instead of trying to fill a gap for now or the future.

Russian Interior Ministry bans employees from holidaying in Turkey
The Russian Interior Ministry has left Turkey off of a list of countries its employees are allowed to visit this year, opposition newspaper Cumhuriyet said.
The other countries that did not make the cut despite being on the 2015-2016 list were Syria, Tunisia, Thailand, Myanmar, Nicaragua and Egypt, according to a statement on the page of the Russian tour operators’ union ATOR, the newspaper said.
However, a wide range of countries and regions including Armenia, Palestine, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Turkmenistan were among those green-listed for travellers, the newspaper said.
Relations between Turkey and Russia have been volatile in recent years, with Russia’s support for Syrian President Bashar Assad being a major sticking point in the relationship. But with Turkey moving away from its traditional NATO allies, bilateral relations have become warmer at times as well.

Twitter, arguably still the #1 social media channel for crypto and NFTs, recently rebranded to X. Over time X has amassed an impressive user base of over 400 million individuals. As such, it stands as an excellent arena for expanding your online visibility and cultivating a noteworthy digital presence.
Nevertheless, establishing a flourishing profile on X necessitates more than mere expression of your thoughts; it calls for the implementation of strategic growth methodologies that effectively leverage the platform’s algorithm.
This article is poised to unveil a meticulously detailed series of growth strategies, guiding you through a step-by-step journey from a follower count of zero to an impressive 50-100k. The aim is to metamorphose your X account into a commanding force in the online sphere.
For the remainder of this blog post, we shall seamlessly substitute the term “Twitter” with the rebranded term “X”.
Top 10 Growth Strategies For X in 2024
Whether you’re launching a decentralised application, a blockchain-based service, or a digital asset, navigating the intricacies of the Web3 space requires a strategic approach. In this context, we delve into ten essential growth strategies that can empower your journey, driving visibility, user adoption, and overall success for your X account in the competitive Web3 space.
From community engagement to content and ads, these strategies are designed to not only keep pace with the ever-changing Web3 ecosystem but also to propel your project or brand to new heights. Explore this roadmap to not only survive but thrive in the era of decentralised technologies.
Here are the growth strategies that one should employ to elevate the performance of your X account.
#1 Optimise Your Project or Brand Profile
Profile Optimisation The significance of your Twitter profile cannot be overstated within the context of your account. It serves as the initial checkpoint for most users, influencing their decision to follow you.
Given its pivotal role, it is paramount to prioritise the optimisation of your profile right from the outset. Your profile essentially acts as your opportunity to establish a positive and enduring first impression.
To accomplish this:
- Choose a profile picture that visually encapsulates your identity or brand and complements the circular frame.
- Opt for an account name that accurately reflects your activities or business identity.
- In your bio, succinctly articulate your role, the value you bring, and compelling reasons for people to follow you. Optionally, incorporate a direct link to your website or portfolio.
Moreover, enhance engagement by strategically pinning your most impactful, recent, or viral tweet. This tactical approach will aid in curating a compelling and influential X presence.
#2 Create an X Content Calendar
Creating a well-thought-out content calendar may require an initial investment of effort, but it is a strategic move that yields dividends in terms of time and stress reduction in the long run. Picture the relief of not frantically devising a witty #Bitcoin Pizza Day tweet at the eleventh hour.
Beyond mere post organisation, your social media content calendar plays a multifaceted role. It not only harmonises your content across various platforms but also serves as a tool for identifying gaps and resolving potential conflicts.
Furthermore, it positions you to seize opportune moments, such as engaging in discussions about your NFT collection during a web3 event or showcasing sustainable blockchain practices on Earth Day.
Key elements to consider for your calendar include:
- Posting frequency
- Optimal posting times
- Approval processes
In addition, your calendar should maintain a well-rounded mix of tweets, adhering to the rule of thirds: one-third dedicated to promoting your web3 project, another third for sharing personal stories, and the remaining third for offering insights from esteemed blockchain experts. This balanced approach contributes to a more comprehensive and engaging content strategy.
#3 Keep a Regular Posting Schedule
Maintaining a daily X presence is paramount, much like on any other social media platform. Experiment by sharing your thoughts and leverage insights gained from less successful tweets to avoid repeating errors.
To keep your followers actively engaged, strive for a frequency of 2-4 tweets per day. Consistency is the secret weapon that distinguishes you and facilitates mastery of the algorithmic landscape.
The strategic use of ChatGPT can aid in crafting a content calendar that not only establishes your brand as an authority but also resonates effectively with your target audience.
However, if your tweeting frequency is limited to a mere handful of times each month, it can impede your growth trajectory. Consistency serves as the foundational cornerstone, so maintaining a regular posting rhythm is essential for sustained growth.
#4 Create an X List
Envision stepping into a vibrant social gathering where a myriad of conversations permeate the air – such is the comparable experience of delving into your Twitter feed. Amidst this animated exchange, the inherent challenge lies in discerning and focusing on content of genuine significance.
Enter X (Twitter) Lists, a valuable instrument designed to cut through the noise. These carefully curated feeds selectively aggregate content from chosen accounts, affording you a targeted avenue to partake in discussions and connect with influential figures directly relevant to your business.
The Twitter platform permits the creation of numerous lists, though constrained by a cap set at a thousand.
In contrast to the primary feed, which succumbs to the influence of X’s algorithm, tweets within lists are meticulously arranged in chronological order.
This chronological ordering proves to be immensely beneficial for staying abreast of emerging topics and current events.
Construct lists that encompass accounts belonging to your competitors, industry thought leaders, and your team members.
It is paramount to bear in mind that lists are public entities, thereby necessitating a thoughtful and strategic choice of nomenclature.
While the process of curating these lists may demand a certain degree of effort, the ultimate outcome is a metamorphosis of Twitter into an efficient and strategic tool tailored to meet your specific needs.
#5 Host Regular Spaces With Your Community
In the contemporary era of social media, authenticity stands as a valuable currency. The live audio feature presented by X Spaces offers an exceptional opportunity to forge personal and impromptu connections with your audience.
Being the host of X Spaces empowers you to orchestrate discussions, host Ask Me Anything (AMA) sessions, and engage in conversations centred around topics pertinent to your niche. This real-time engagement not only nurtures authentic connections but also enables your audience to interact directly with you.
Leverage X Spaces to showcase your expertise, narrate compelling stories, and participate in interactions that resonate on a profound and meaningful level.
#6 Keep Engaging With Other Tweets
X epitomises a communal platform where active engagement with other users’ content not only demonstrates your appreciation for their ideas but also positions you as a vital participant in the ongoing conversation.
Responding to tweets, retweeting, and liking are uncomplicated yet potent methods to interact with fellow users. Thoughtful engagements not only expand your digital footprint but also solidify your standing as a valued member within the vibrant X community.
Strategic retweeting of content that resonates with your brand or aligns with your values can significantly enhance your visibility on the platform.
A notable byproduct of adeptly engaging with others’ tweets is the accrual of a more substantial follower base on X. Mastery in this aspect of social interaction undoubtedly contributes to an increased following and heightened influence within the X community.
#7 Elevate Your Twitter Presence with X Premium
Elevate your online presence by securing authenticity and credibility through the coveted blue tick verification on Twitter. This exclusive badge not only adds a touch of prestige to your account but also captures the algorithm’s attention, enhancing your overall visibility.
Now, attaining the once-exclusive blue tick has become more accessible through a subscription model: $8 when accessed through the web and $11 for iOS users.
All it takes is a simple sign-up for Twitter verification, accompanied by the monthly fee, to set yourself apart and amplify your account’s prominence according to the algorithm.
Upon verification, enjoy a host of benefits, including text formatting, tweet editing capabilities, and a reduction in ads within the “For You” timeline.
Furthermore, the introduction of new gold and gray checkmarks specifically designed for businesses and government officials serves to augment both visibility and credibility. These enhancements prove invaluable in navigating the intricacies of the Twitter algorithm, ultimately solidifying your presence and influence on the platform.
#8 Automation: Use the X Scheduling Tool
Revitalise your Twitter strategy by integrating scheduled tweets, a streamlined alternative to the traditional manual posting approach. Embrace the efficiency of this method for seamless social media management and enhanced control over your content calendar, mitigating concerns about missed tweets amidst hectic schedules.
However, the true brilliance of scheduled tweets lies in achieving optimal engagement. Capitalise on peak posting times to amplify your impact. While suggested posting times are available, it’s essential to recognise that audience preferences may vary. Harness the power of analytics to pinpoint your prime moments and tailor your posting schedule accordingly.
Delve into the myriad possibilities offered by tools such as Typefully, Hootsuite, and Buffer. Elevate your Twitter presence by incorporating scheduled tweets into your strategy, ushering in a revolution in engagement and connection. This innovative approach ensures that your tweets are not only timely but also resonate profoundly with your audience, fostering a deeper and more impactful connection.
#9 Take Advantage of the Power of Visuals
Scientific studies indicate that the human brain processes visual information a staggering 60,000 times faster than text, resulting in significantly improved retention rates.
Visual content possesses the remarkable ability to interrupt the scrolling inertia and seize attention. Integrating visuals into your strategy on X not only augments engagement but also creates a lasting impression on your audience.
Whether in the form of images, GIFs, or videos, visual elements have the unique ability to make your tweets stand out in the midst of a sea of text. To establish a compelling visual identity, infuse visuals that align with your brand and values.
Images, with their rapid conveyance of complex messages, serve as effective tools to illustrate concepts, offer behind-the-scenes glimpses, or showcase products. Meanwhile, the dynamic nature of GIFs and videos captures attention through movement and storytelling.
Given that the X algorithm favours visual content, incorporating such elements into your tweets not only enhances engagement but also elevates your tweet visibility. This strategic use of visuals becomes a potent asset in ensuring your messages not only resonate but also endure in the minds of your audience.
#10 Elevate Your Project or Brand with X Ads
In the dynamic realm of social media, leveraging X Ads provides an unparalleled opportunity to elevate your brand’s visibility and reach a targeted audience. This strategic advertising avenue allows you to craft compelling narratives and showcase your products or services in a visually captivating manner.
With X Ads, you gain the ability to tailor your promotional content based on specific demographics, interests, and behaviours, ensuring that your message resonates with the right audience. This precision targeting enhances the efficiency of your advertising efforts, making each impression more impactful.
Unlock the potential of various ad formats, from engaging carousel ads that tell a story to eye-catching video ads that capture attention. Utilise the power of visuals and concise copy to convey your brand’s essence effectively.
Leveraging X Ads provides not only increased visibility but also valuable insights through detailed analytics. Monitor key metrics, track conversions, and refine your strategy based on real-time data to maximise the return on your advertising investment.
Engaging and Nurturing Your Community is Key For Growing X
In the realm of X, the essence of growth extends beyond mere follower accumulation; it resides in the art of cultivating a community that resonates deeply with your message and values.
To fortify this community-building endeavour, optimising your profile, maintaining unwavering consistency, and harnessing features such as Twitter Lists and Spaces become pivotal steps. Meaningful engagement with others becomes the bedrock upon which a robust foundation for growth is laid.
Elevating your impact involves embracing the authenticity bestowed by verified accounts, strategically scheduling your content, and integrating impactful visuals that tell your brand story. Furthermore, analytics and the transparency inherent in “building in public” act as guiding lights, steering your evolution with data-driven insights.
Embarking on your X growth journey requires more than a mere quest for numbers; it demands a commitment to proven strategies. In this pursuit, Lunar Strategy’s tried-and-true methods come into play.

As the deadly Ebola virus disease (EVD) wreaks havoc on citizens of the Mano River Union sub region, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf visited the Redemption Hospital in New Kru Town, where at least 4 persons died last week from the disease.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare recently announced a renewed outbreak of the Ebola virus in New Kru Town.
The latest outbreak in the country, which claimed the lives at least seven persons, has increased the death tally to 16 from 22 “cumulative cases.” One of the seven included a health worker at the Redemption Hospital, who was infected by the virus while attending to a patient, who also died from the virus.
While Liberia’s number may seem small, the disease is ravaging neighboring Guinea, which has now recorded 264 deaths from 394 confirmed cases. In Sierra Leone, also Liberia’s neighbor to the west, 49 deaths have been recorded from 92 confirmed cases.
President Sirleaf had gone to the Redemption Hospital on Bushrod Island to sympathize with the administration, nurses and staff there, who are mourning the loss of their colleague, Esther Kesselee. She also wanted to ascertain the state of affairs at the hospital relative to its preparedness to cope with an influx of patients should the need arise.
At the hospital, President Sirleaf said she was visiting them to pay tribute to the administration, nurses and staff for their courage and sacrifices to the nation and promised government’s fullest support for their service to the country.
She called on all Liberians to see the Ebola pandemic as a national emergency and stop politicizing it. Only a united front will complement the efforts of government and its partners to successfully fight the virus, the President said, as she expressed her government’s commitment to fighting the pandemic.
Also speaking during the President’s visit, the Assistant Minister of Health for Curative Services, Tolbert Nyenswah, informed President Sirleaf of the challenges faced by health workers in the fight against the outbreak, including fear and denial.
He explained that the nurses at the Redemption Hospital are seriously traumatized by the death of their colleague which has also affected their zealousness to work as they fear being infected by the virus while attending to suspected cases.
Mr. Nyenswah disclosed that based on the demand of health workers since the death of their colleague, the administration has fumigated all the strategic areas at the hospital, which has helped to alleviate their fears.
One challenge Mr. Nyenswah highlighted was that family members of the dead victims are resisting the instant burial of these fatalities, which is one of the surest ways of prevention. He said family members were demanding the remains of their dead relatives for burial in keeping with normal traditions which he said if not curtailed will also hinder prevention efforts.
The Representative of the World Health Organization, Dr. Nestor Ndayimirije, who provided updates to the Liberian President on the recent outbreak, agreed with Assistant Minister Nyenswah that government and its partners were not only fighting the Ebola virus but also trying to allay the fear that has caused health workers to sometimes desert patients. He indicated that the Liberian leader’s visit to the hospital was a great motivation to the health workers in dealing with the fear factor.
The WHO Representative, on behalf of the United Nations family, renewed its commitment to partnering with Liberia in the fight against the virus.

Media Concepts International (MCI) and KAON Media (KAON) have signed an agreement to manufacture digital set-top boxes in Nigeria
According to the deal signed between Nigerian MCI and South Korean KAON, the two companies will invest about US$1bn to set up a factory that will manufacture the set-top boxes. The deal comes ahead of Nigeria’s forthcoming transition from analogue to digital television in 2017.
The deal will also help create jobs in and bring new technology to Nigeria. Babatope Agbeyo, managing director of MCI, said that the project will employ about 1,000 Nigerians, and will provide a high-quality product. He explained that KOAN will help build the factory and also transfer technology.
“The site for the factory is ready and by January next year, the foundation laying ceremony will be laid while by the end of the year, the factory will hopefully go on stream. The digital switchover is a massive project that will change a lot of things,” said Michael Agbeyo, CEO of MCI.
Young Kang, director of sales for KOAN, was present for the deal-signing ceremony and made assurances that the products will be of global standards, and will supported by country-wide after-sales services. Kang also specified that the company would start by importing set-top boxes into the country, and then move to partial assembly in Nigeria before moving on to complete knocked down parts.
Kang also said that the design of the set-top boxes has been decided keeping in mind the infrastructure challenges in Kenya. He revealed that the same design was used in the company’s devices in India, where despite the intermittent power supply, the rate of failure of the set-top boxes was about 0.35 per cent.

Brillantes vows to purge Comelec of ‘small syndicates’
The days of “small syndicates” in the Commission on Elections (Comelec) are numbered.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. on Wednesday declared that he would be running after “syndicates” within the organization purportedly involved in the selling of election returns and certificates of canvass during elections.
Purging these unscrupulous employees in the organization was a vital move in reviving the integrity of the election body, said Brillantes during his keynote speech during the “Integrity Summit” at the Comelec Wednesday.
“While the big majority of the employees and senior staff of the Comelec are not involved, there are others, small syndicates within the organization, still existing,” he said. “Since we are in the subject of integrity, I feel that I should move fast on this and pull them out of this organization.”
The “cleansing” of the election body would begin in “few days or weeks,” according to the poll chief. “We will be going after individuals who are within the small syndicates in the Comelec,” he warned.

Foldtex is a composite material based on plywood and different textile surfaces. Plywood as the carrier material (1 to 6 mm thick) is coated with at least one tear-proof layer. Scoring of the material with a CNC milling cutter leaves the flexible layer to act as a hinge; the planar and solid material can be transformed into foldable and moldable structures. In contrast to plywood products, Foldtex allows gently curved features and lines as well. The material combines stability with low weight and variation of its compounds allow for customization. Foldtex-basic consists of approximately 60 to 80% plywood and 15 to 30% canvas. The surface layer can be customized and adding functions by variation of the material, for instance leather, linen, lacquer, et cetera. Additionally, the manufacturing process is suitable for small batches and low material consumption. These material properties and the fabrication process make Foldtex interesting for a wide range of applications.

About Mi Campo Blanco Tequila
Mi CAMPO is a traditionally made tequila. The piñas are cooked and crushed by a tahona stone, releasing the juices required for fermentation. The piñas are gently squeezed, carefully extracting the juice to avoid any hints of bitterness from the agave fibers, illuminating the agave plant’s natural honey characteristic and quelling any trace of bitterness.
Before Mi CAMPO is bottled, it rests in the same French oak used for aging wine, made by expert coopers who craft their prodigious barrels for Napa Valley winemakers. The result is an incredibly smooth tequila. The Blue Weber agave are matured for 7-years, and 100% sourced in Jalisco, México, the Piñas are steamed-cooked in stone ovens for up to 38 hours and naturally fermented using open-air tanks, which allow aromatics from nearby citrus trees to fuse with the tequila.
Mi Campo Blanco is double distilled, then fermented in open-air tanks, amid fragrant citrus trees, before resting for up to one month in the same French oak barrels used for aging Napa Valley Chardonnay, imparting an incredibly smooth taste.
Pick up your bottle today!
Although tequila has developed a bad reputation, there's more to the spirit than just shots on a Saturday night.
This traditional Mexican drink origins in the state of Jalisco when according to a local legend, lightning struck an agave cactus before the Nahua tribe drank its warm nectar. Behold, tequila.
Legally, tequila has to be made of 51% of Blue agave around the Jalisco region in Mexico. There are different types of tequila according to age - from the youngest representatives, blanco, reposado, and añejo, to the oldest extra añejo.

By T.J. Simers
I was in Arizona with the grandkids over the weekend, my daughter giving me four of them over the years, the Father’s Day gift that just keeps on giving.
So, I missed the Koufax statue hoopla, a disappointment because it brought together three of the finest men I have ever met—lucky me.
Koufax, Torre and Kershaw_such a trio of greatness. Throw in a ton of breakfasts with Tom Lasorda, time spent in John Wooden’s condo and chats with Vin Scully while standing next to him in the Dodger Stadium press box restroom and tough to top those gifted moments.
Going to Vegas every year to bet the NCAA basketball tournament with the other daughter is right there, too, along with breakfast most every morning for more than 49 years with the wife.
She hasn’t aged a bit, and it’s still important after 49 years to score points when you can.
As for the trio of greatness, Clayton Kershaw is the youngest, but maybe the most eloquent in explaining what Sandy Koufax meant to him. I read a transcript of what Kershaw had to say at the ceremony and it was so generous and heart-warming.
Takes a lot to get me gushing with mush, but if your youngster has Kershaw’s name spelled across his back, he has the ideal role model. If your husband has it across his back, he’s just weird.
I was there in the beginning with Kershaw when he came to the Dodgers, and he was obviously raised right. He’s smart, polite and when it’s called for prickly. The post-season has done him wrong, but what a competitor and hero for helping the disadvantaged.
If you missed the ceremony, check out Kershaw’s comments on Koufax on the Times’ web site.
Kershaw appeared at my request on a night we had for Joe Torre and Koufax in the Nokia Theatre or whatever they call it now to raise money for Torre’s Safe at Home charity.
He came on stage and I introduced him to Angels’ owner Arte Moreno, who was sitting in the audience. In those days Arte commanded respect, and not the laughter his boorish ownership does today.
I had Kershaw put his hand against Koufax’s hand, and for a moment there it was gone. Koufax’s paw was massive, Koufax explaining that’s how he could get more spin on the ball.
I thought about calling a timeout and explaining it all to Moreno, but nobody really cares about the Angels. The Times monitors how many people read the Angels’ stories they run, and the numbers are so minuscule there is great internal reluctance to give the team much coverage.
The audience loved seeing Kershaw and Koufax together. After the show Koufax and Kershaw flew back to spring training together and it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
It was fitting because the reclusive Koufax appeared at the event only because of his friendship with Torre.
Torre is one of the finest men I have ever had the good fortune to meet. We used to exchange Denny Crane shouts of joy when we would get together before a ball game, the William Shatner character from Boston Legal tickling Torre’s funny bone.
I never got visibly under his skin, making him the only one I ever came across who didn’t crack on occasion. Compared to Torre, Phil Jackson came off like Barney Fife.
Torre testified on my behalf in Trial No. 3, a friend doing a favor because he was asked to step forward. And how many times did I make fun of him on Page 2 in the LA Times?
Is there anything better than a friend who stands tall under tough circumstances? I thought I would say that about Jim Mora, but I am afraid I cannot.
It was because of Torre that I met Koufax. I remember it as a four-hour breakfast; he probably thought it felt like eight hours.
He rocked the Nokia Theatre a night later, and said the experience helped him emerge from the shadows, while insisting he never went into hiding.
He had so much to offer, telling the audience his grandfather taught him time was the important thing in life and why waste it dwelling on things that have happened in the past.
That’s why he said he didn’t spend much time appearing publicly to talk about his exploits.
I introduced him as the man who threw four no-hitters, while telling everyone Torre had hit into four double plays in the same game.
Torre hit into four double plays and I got booed.
Koufax also explained how he could never get Henry Aaron out, so one game he started him out with a changeup. Aaron drilled it into the chest of Tommy Davis, who was playing third.
Koufax was giddy with excitement at getting him out as Davis came over with the ball, wheezing and struggling to breath.
“Don’t ever throw him that pitch again,” Davis said, and the story as told by Koufax was hilarious because he imitated Davis’ breathing troubles.
There was so much more, every chance to spend time with Koufax, Torre and Kershaw a once in a lifetime treat.
And yet here I was in Arizona, watching the 16-year-old pour in 24 three-pointers in four games, and a few days later on Father’s Day watching the 12-year-old hit another half dozen threes.
I’m not complaining.


It’s the final stretch for the crews and organizers of the 10th edition of Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille, which begins April 14 in the turquoise waters of the French Antilles island. More than 1,000 sailors and crews will descend into the port of Gustavia to celebrate this anniversary edition in style.
The regatta plans to welcome the famous American racer Terry Hutchinson and the formidable British sailor Pete Cumming, who will be up against quite a few stars from French yachting like Roland Jourdain and Jean-Pierre Dick.
The event open to Maxis, Spinnakers, Multihulls and Melges 24s promises a spectacular display of competitive yacht racing on the water, and organizers also plan to deliver magical moments on shore to ‘amp’ up the fun quotient for this 10th anniversary.
Satisfying the great maxi majority
To support the event’s increasing popularity amongst the Maxis, organizers François Tolède and Luc Poupon officially endorsed the switch from the CSA (Caribbean Sailing Association) rule to the IRC rule, an international race rule recognized by World Sailing (formerly the International Sailing Federation), created back in 2000 from the Channel Handicap System.
“We are responding to the requests of many competitors. IRC is used for a great many races and regattas worldwide, including La Giraglia, Cowes Week, the Fastnet Race, Les Voiles de Saint Tropez, the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers), the Middle Sea Race, the Sydney Hobart Race and many others.
“This move brings Les Voiles de St Barth Richard Mille in line with other races on the event schedules of other series, such as the Maxi 72s,” said Poupon, who points out that in 2018, nearly 7,000 boats in over 30 countries had IRC certificates and that more than 44,000 boats have raced using this rule since it was first created.
The Race Director is delighted at the prospect of welcoming a great many new crews this year, including Fling 16, Irvine Laidlaw’s Botin 56 launched last October in Valencia, Spain, and was seen out on the racecourse for the first time in the St Maarten Heineken Regatta some 10 days ago, along with Arara, Tim Gollin’s Black Pepper Code 2; The Kid, the JPK54 which will be skippered by Jean-Pierre Dick, double champion of the Barcelona World Race and four-time winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre in IMOCA; Ambersail 2, the VOR65 (ex Team CSA) helmed by Rokas Milevicius, the only Lithuanian to have participated in the Volvo Ocean Race to date (in 2014-2015 aboard Team Brunel); and Chim Chim, the Gunboat 62 sailed by John Gallagher, recent multihull champion in the Caribbean RORC 600.
Loads of ‘little’ newcomers and then some…
The new arrivals will be racing alongside the many boats already familiar with the waters of Saint Barth, starting with five of the seven reigning champions: Windfall in Maxi 2, Ventarron in CSA 2, Crédit Mutuel PTO in CSA 3, Flow in OMA and Guyader Gastronomie in IMRR skippered by Christian Guyader.
“Proteus, winner of the last three editions in the Maxi 1 category, was also expected to compete but unfortunately she dismasted before the Caribbean 600 back in February. As a result, she set a course for Palma de Mallorca and unfortunately won’t be with us this year,” laments Poupon, though he’s excited to be welcoming a host of other crews who have contributed to the rich tapestry of Les Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille since its creation in 2010.
These include La French Tech Rennes St-Malo skippered by Gilles Lamiré, the current holder of the Richard Mille Record Trophy in the multihull category, with a time of 3 hours, 27 minutes and 24 seconds, and Sojana helmed by Sir Peter Harrison, whose crew includes renowned sailors Pete Cumming, winner of the Extreme Sailing Series and double champion of the Rolex Maxi Worlds, and sailor Alexia Barrier, who is currently preparing for the Vendée Globe 2020-2021.
Barrier, the leader of 4 My Planet, is a huge fan of the magic this regatta creates as it blends a relaxed social atmosphere on shore and close competition on the water. “This will be my 4th year competing in Les Voiles aboard Sojana, a boat I’m lucky to be racing on alongside some exceptional sailors, who have notably competed in the Volvo Ocean Race and the America’s Cup,” she said.
“Each time it serves as kind of a pressure-relief mechanism in what is always a very busy schedule for me. It’s just awesome to race in Saint Barth, which is definitely my favorite island, colored by lots of great memories, including my 3rd place in the Transat AG2R La Mondiale 2014. It’s always very relaxed and really wonderful.”

If only you could have said sorry;
I’m still hoping one day you will;
You should have told me you wanted another,
One who suited you better than me;
if only you could say sorry to me.

The word sorry, soothes a broken heart.
Have you ever felt the agony of loss?
No, you couldn’t have, as you didn’t give a toss.
